Chapter 11 Leaving the palace!
As soon as Shen Lanxi walked out of the backyard, she met Wang Bao.
Wang Bao unfolded the imperial edict and read out: "By God's blessing, the emperor decrees that from today on, the title of Princess Lanxi will be withdrawn. In addition, he will be allowed to make peace with Zhou Ruyuan, the king of Zhennan. The letter of reconciliation will be drafted by the royal family. , From now on, Zhennan King Zhou Ruyuan has nothing to do with Shen Lanxi, thank you for this!”
Shen Lanxi knelt down and took the imperial edict with both hands.
“Thank you, Lord!”
Wang Bao rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to Shen Lanxi.
"Your Majesty has another oral instruction, ordering Shen Lanxi to leave the Zhennan Palace immediately!"
Shen Lanxi respectfully replied: "The daughter of the people takes the order!"
Bai Qingling followed. Everyone in the palace knelt on the ground, feeling very happy.
His Majesty took away Shen Lanxi’s title and ordered her to make peace with the prince? What she had been thinking about for so long finally came true so quickly.
I knew His Majesty would not be so foolish as to let anyone in the Shen family go, but it was a pity that bitch Shen Lanxi didn't have to go into exile with her whole family.
Bai Qingling's eyes flashed with cold light, and she sneered in her heart.
"Miss Shen, do you have anything to deal with?" Wang Bao said casually.
Shen Lanxi understood: "The daughter of the people has something to say that she wants the father-in-law to bring to your majesty and uncle!"
Wang Bao raised his voice: "Your majesty is thinking of you, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the Zajia family in person. Come and deliver the message!"
Shen Lanxi: "My dowry is arranged by the Shen family. Logically speaking, the woman can take the dowry away after the divorce!"
Wang Bao nodded.
“Although the Shen family did not do anything about the Wei Jiajun in the northwest, my father was responsible for it after all. Now I am willing to distribute all my dowry to the Wei Jiajun’s family, with the intention of settling their future lives!”< br>
Wang Bao raised a smile and said, "Girl, I will tell you exactly what I said to Your Majesty!"
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the door.
Wang Bao: "Girl, please come first, the Za family still has an imperial edict to declare!"
Shen Lanxi bowed to Wang Bao, turned around and left!
When Shen Lanxi's figure merged into the crowd, Wang Bao entered the palace again.
"Where is the incense case? Why do the servants of the palace have no rules at all..."
...
After Shen Lanxi walked away, she made sure that no one was following her and immediately turned in In the alley.
Opening the imperial edict, there was a thick stack of banknotes inside, totaling 70,000 to 80,000 taels.
Entering the space, Shen Lanxi changed her appearance, and when she came out of the alley, she was already a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance!
First I went to Yaxing to rent an empty house, and then I went to Mihang Butcher’s, Grain and Oil Store, Grocery Store and Cloth Store. I ordered a few hundred taels for each store. There were hundreds of shops in the capital. I walked down to spend money there. Nearly sixty thousand taels were paid.
Set delivery at different times, come to a merchant, pay the balance and collect it directly in the space. I was busy until the evening, and only a few delivery people bumped into each other, so it didn't arouse anyone's suspicion!
After finishing the busy work, go directly to Fulai Inn to find Spring Snow and Autumn Shuang!
When she saw the two of them, she didn’t explain, she just showed them the imperial edict!
“How are you doing with the things I asked you to buy?”
Haruyuki came back to his senses and quickly replied: “Everything is ready!”
“Exiled The place is in Dongchuan, where it’s bitterly cold in winter. You can go buy some winter clothes and leathers tomorrow!”
“Yes!”
She told them her plan: “I want to talk to Shen. The whole family will go into exile together. If you don’t want to go, I will sell you my life and give each of you two thousand taels of silver to settle down!”
Qiu Shuang said hurriedly: “Miss, we are from the Shen family, Shen. Home is our home.”
Haruyuki: “Yes, yes, wherever the lady goes, we will go!”
She still returned the bond of betrayal to the two of them.
"You can follow me. Take this, and you will be free from now on!" Chun Xue Qiu Shuang said with a moved expression: "Miss, we will always be your slaves!"
< br>Shen Lanxi: "Have a good rest and set off from the city gate the day after tomorrow!"
The next day she took some banknotes to Chunxiao Qiushuang to buy things. When the two left, she also changed her identity. Go shopping.

“It’s not good, Your Majesty, everything in the warehouse is gone...”
After Wang Bao returned to the palace, he immediately brought the message to Emperor Renxiao. The emperor was worried that the treasury was too empty and he had no money to pay pensions to the family members of the Wei family. When he heard that Shen Lanxi was willing to offer her dowry, he immediately ordered someone to go to the palace to get it.
If it hadn’t been for the opening of the warehouse this time, the people in the Zhennan Palace would still not know that the warehouse was stolen.
Zhou Ruyuan was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes, and was punished one after another. He was just thinking about how to break the situation, when he was hit head-on.
“What’s going on?”
The steward was sweating profusely: "The palace guards came to get the king's dowry, and the servant opened the door of the warehouse and saw that everything inside was gone!"
Zhou Ruyuan couldn't sit still.
“Where are the other warehouses?”
Steward: “I haven’t looked at the other warehouses yet.”
“Hurry and check!”
The housekeeper turned pale after a while. He reported with a face: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the things in other warehouses are missing too!"
Zhou Ruyuan rushed to the warehouse quickly.
In all the warehouses, there is not even a needle left!
Bai Qingling hurried over after receiving the news. When she saw the empty warehouse, she almost fainted!
"Your Majesty, why is the warehouse empty?"
Zhou Ruyuan's temples were beating wildly. The warehouse contained all the trophies and rewards from his battles over the years, including his entire wealth.
It’s all gone now!
"Who usually guards the warehouse? Why are all the things in it missing? If you people don't give me an explanation today, you will all be beaten to death with sticks!" Zhou Ruyuan became red-eyed.
All those responsible for guarding the warehouse, those on duty and those not on duty, were all taken to the door of the warehouse.
The warehouse was stolen, and even if the entire family was sold, they would not be able to afford the compensation!
At this time, they were left kneeling on the ground, crying and hurriedly explaining!
Zhou Ruyuan held a long sword and interrogated him personally.
"When was the last time you opened the warehouse?"
The steward quickly replied: "It was your wedding day, and everything was still there at that time."
Bai Qing Ling clenched her eyes with anger burning: "It's Shen Lanxi, it must be Shen Lanxi! Otherwise, how could she say that she would dedicate the dowry to His Majesty? She was just waiting for this moment to frame the prince."
The steward wiped his sweat and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the people sent by His Majesty are still waiting outside. How can we explain to His Majesty?"
Bai Qingling said impatiently: "How else can we explain to Him? , Tell the truth!”
“No!” Zhou Ruyuan objected.
My father was very suspicious. He would not believe it if he said the dowry was stolen. He would definitely suspect that he kept it secretly and would not give it to him.
“Take out all the valuable things in our house, it’s not enough to borrow my post!”
Bai Qingling exclaimed: “How is that possible!”
"No need to say more, this matter has been decided. Manager Sun, Commander Wang, you bring people to investigate for me. No matter what method you use, you must get the things back for me!"
"Yes!"
Bai Qingling quickly called Commander Wang to a stop.
"Commander Wang, take people to find out where Shen Lanxi is now. Once you find out, report back to the prince and me as soon as possible!"
Commander Wang looked at Zhou Ruyuan, who gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Go and check!"
