Chapter 217 Mutual performance!
Every move of Shen Lanxi will be reported to Emperor Renxiao by a dedicated person every day. Naturally, they also know that she took advantage of Qiu Mingjue to establish her authority in the Ministry of Personnel.
"You have a plan in mind. I can rest assured that the Wei family army will be left to you!" Emperor Renxiao said seriously.
Seeing that his figure showed signs of fatigue, Shen Lanxi said with concern: "Uncle, don't worry, leave the affairs of Wei Jiajun to me. You have a good rest and take care of yourself. There are still so many big things in the court waiting for you to deal with."< br>
Emperor Renxiao sighed deliberately and said: "Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is falling apart. Just now another letter came from the northwest. After the foreigners knew that Ru Yuan had left, they began to make plans again."
Shen Lanxi understood, and then followed her words: "I will set off to the northwest immediately to negotiate peace with foreign tribes!"
Emperor Renxiao was very satisfied with her answer.
This child is filial. If he uses some tricks, she will do it immediately without saying it openly.
"Lan Xi, you have only been back to Beijing for a few days and you haven't had a good rest yet..." Emperor Renxiao's face was filled with distress and reluctance.
"Uncle, besides the Queen Mother, you are the person who loves me the most. Even my parents are behind me. You are my uncle and even my father in my heart. You are closer than my father. Although I As a woman, I also want to share my uncle's worries, even a little bit, to make the burden on my uncle's shoulders lighter."
"Lan Xi only hopes that uncle can live a long life and protect Lan Xi!" Shen Lanxi's passionate words moved Emperor Renxiao and herself!
Emperor Renxiao looked at Shen Lanxi excitedly: "Good boy, all my children combined are not even one ten thousandth as filial as you!"
Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, don't say anything. I’ll go back and pack my bags and leave now!”
That’s not necessary!
Emperor Renxiao: "You are here for peace talks. I have ordered someone to inform the fifteenth princess. I don't know when I will return to the capital after this trip. Have a good meal and talk with my family. We will set off tomorrow morning. Immediately!”
Afterwards, Emperor Renxiao rewarded Shen Lanxi with many things. When she got home, the rewards from the harem also arrived.
In addition to this, there is another imperial edict.
"By God's will, the emperor... ordered Shen Lanxi to be the Minister of Harmony, with an official rank of fourth rank, and to command all things in the northwest. His father, Shen Congwen, was a well-educated and upright official. From now on, he will be in charge of all matters of the household department. The official After being promoted to one level, Old Mrs. Shen has taught his children well and is specially given..."
As the imperial edict was recited, the rewards flowed into the Shen family like flowing water.
In addition to receiving the imperial edict from her side, Zhou Ruyuan also received the imperial edict.
"My order, the third prince Zhou Ruyuan is the general who suppresses the rebellion. He will leave for Yonglin Prefecture early tomorrow morning. There must be no mistake!" After that, Zhou Ruyuan also received many rewards from the palace.
"Your Majesty, do you really want all these things to be sent to the Shen family?" the housekeeper asked cautiously.
Zhou Ruyuan had a dark face and said without any doubt: "Remember to get the IOU back!'
Seeing that his face was not good, the housekeeper did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly lowered his head to deal with it.
Bai Qingling has been recuperating in the room since her miscarriage. Because of the taboos, Zhou Ruyuan has never entered the room since then, so Bai Qingling doesn't know about the imperial edict or the reward.
No one told her!
"There seems to be movement outside. What happened?" Bai Qingling asked.
Maidmaid: "Madam, it's okay, my servant is cleaning the courtyard."
Bai Qingling clearly felt that the attitude of the people in the palace had changed towards her. In the past two days, the people serving around her, She changed a few of them one after another. Thinking of the assassination after returning to Beijing, she did not dare to say anything, let alone take any action.
Someone in the capital wants her life, either Shen Lanxi or the Shen family.
The Shen family has deep-rooted connections in the capital, and it would be extremely easy to place someone in the palace.
It’s a pity that her body has become a burden now. Even if she wants to straighten it out, she still has to wait until her body is well.
She knew that Shen Lanxi was jealous that she could give birth to an heir for the prince, and would definitely attack her and the child after returning to Beijing. She knows these methods of women very well.
Fortunately, she had taken precautions, but unfortunately she did not leave any evidence and could not publicly point out to the prince that it was Shen Lanxi who did it.
Due to Shen Lanxi's vicious methods, those dead soldiers were completely devoted to her. It would be great if she could also raise such loyal secret guards.
After receiving the order, Zhou Ruyuan sat in the room for a while, and several graceful maids filed in carrying tea, snacks, sweet soup and tonics.
"My lord, you have been working hard these days, take some supplements!"
These maids are rewards from the palace. Although they are in the name of the queen and concubine Shu, Zhou Ruyuan knows that These people were sent by my father.
He left the palace with his front legs, and someone came from the palace with his hind legs. This was his father’s warning to him!
"You guys go down, I have to pack my bags!"
The maids rushed forward.
"Your Majesty, let your slaves help you pack it up!"
Zhou Ruyuan: "My luggage is related to important matters in the army and is a secret in the army. But if it passes through the hands of others, then He will be silenced!"
The maids froze in fear and hurried out.
After Zhou Ruyuan paused for a while, he went to find Bai Qingling.
"My lord, it's filthy inside. You are made of gold and jade, so don't collide with me!" Two powerful nuns rushed out from the side to block Zhou Ruyuan's path.
These two nuns came from Chaoyun Palace and were given by their mother and concubine after returning to Beijing.
Bai Qingling kept her ears open to listen for any movement. When she heard Zhou Ruyuan coming, she immediately shouted loudly.
“Your Majesty!”
The two nuns stood at the door and blocked the door tightly.
"Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for the old slaves. If we really let you in, the old slaves will not be able to do anything to Concubine Shu."
"Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty. Poor old slaves, if the empress is angry, the old slaves really can’t afford the punishment!”
Two nuns, one pretending to be a black face, and the other a white face, successfully put Zhou Ruyuan to rest! The desire to get in.
Zhou Ruyuan: "I'll stand at the door and say a few words to her!"
The two nuns looked at each other, stepped aside, and stood there without leaving!
"My lord, are you taking good care of yourself, and how are we, little Yu'er? I really want to see you!" Bai Qingling said with a tearful tone.
Zhou Ruyuan was heartbroken when he heard this. Qingling is indeed someone who likes him wholeheartedly!
"I just received the imperial decree and will rush to Yonglin Prefecture early tomorrow morning. You can take a good rest in the capital. I will send Xiao Yu'er to my mother and concubine later!"
Bai Qingling's heart For a moment, she wanted to ask how Shen Lanxi was doing. If the prince left and left her alone in the capital, Shen Lanxi and the Shen family would definitely take action against her.
"Prince, Qingling doesn't want to be separated from you, Qingling wants to go with you!" Bai Qingling's tone was sad, full of reluctance.
Zhou Ruyuan felt heartbroken after hearing this, but Qingling's current physical condition did not allow her to leave with him.
"Qingling, be obedient. When you are well, come to Yonglin Prefecture to find me!"
