Chapter 607: Mother-daughter love!

Wu Yanzhi went to the northwest to lobby. In order not to delay important matters in the court, Shen Lanxi promoted Wu Yanzhi's subordinate Xiong Qi to be in charge of all matters in Wu Yanzhi's hands the day after Wu Yanzhi left.

This came as a great surprise to Daniel Wu and his followers.

Xiong Qi had never been very prominent before, so how did Your Majesty notice this person?

Besides, Xiong Qi was only a fourth-rank official, while Wu Yanzhi's party had many second- and third-rank officials, all of whom were prominent figures in the court.

Why use an unknown person like Xiong Qi instead of these famous people?

Soon all the officials knew the reason.

Xiong Qi was very close to Wu Tong, Wu Yanzhi's nephew. The prime minister must have arranged for Xiong Qi to take the position before he left.

If it was arranged by the prime minister, then they should follow his lead.

During this period, she received several letters from Zhou Xinrou.

They all questioned her why she declared war on the Turks.

There were only a few brief replies in the letter from home.

Until Zhou Xinrou finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent another letter to the palace.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Shen family said that the princess is seriously ill."

Shen Lanxi opened the letter from home and saw that there was not a single word in it.

"Get ready and go to the Shen Mansion."

The eunuch was stunned. His Majesty never paid attention to red tape. This was the first time he heard His Majesty say "come" since he started serving.

"yes!"

Preparing the emperor's ceremonial procession is different from travelling incognito. It takes more than an hour to prepare the emperor's ceremonial procession.

Two hours later, Shen Lanxi arrived at the Shen Mansion.

"Long live His Majesty..."

There are naturally regulations for receiving the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Those in the Shen family who have imperial decrees must wear imperial decree clothes, and those who hold official positions must wear official uniforms. Even if they do not have official positions, they must dress neatly and not in any way that conflicting.

The whole family, young and old, must come out to welcome the emperor.

Even Shen Yuantang who was locked in the room and the baby were no exception!

"Stand up!"

"I heard that my mother is ill. Is she seriously ill?"

Zhou Xinrou was naturally not among those who came to welcome the emperor.

Madam Shen took Shen Lanxi's hand and said, "Your mother has an old illness, but it's more serious this time, probably because she was angry."

Shen Congwen took over the conversation.

"Mother, go and have some rest. We are all family, there is no need for so many rules."

In this world, I'm afraid only Shen Lanxi would let her elders kneel down and worship her. What an unfilial person.

"Your Majesty, since you are here, please spend some time with your mother." When Old Lady Shen walked to Shen Yuantang, she glared at her with disgust.

This evil-minded person who dared to murder the younger generation in the family should be beaten to death with sticks.

"Grandma, I understand."

After Madam Shen left, Shen Lanxi went straight to the backyard.

"Mother!"

Zhou Xinrou looked up at her, then closed her eyes again.

"I brought a lot of precious medicinal herbs and supplements with me this time. If mother is feeling unwell, please call the imperial physician for treatment as soon as possible. Don't delay."

Zhou Xinrou asked in a cold voice: "Why do we want to go to war with the Turks?"

Shen Lanxi: "Mother, isn't it good to expand the territory of our Great Zhou and solve the hidden danger of the Turks?"

Zhou Xinrou: "The most important thing you should do now is to take back Tianjin."

Shen Lanxi: "It's not the right time yet."

Zhou Xinrou became anxious.

"You said the same thing last time. Tell me, when is the best time?"

"It's almost there." No matter how hysterical Zhou Xinrou was, Shen Lanxi's voice remained calm.

"Mother, you only saw me fighting the Turks, but you didn't see me fighting wits and courage with Jinmen. Your daughter is already very tired in the court, and she doesn't want to listen to your questioning anymore."

Zhou Xinrou froze and looked at Shen Lanxi coldly.

"Are you going to disobey me as your mother?"

Shen Lanxi: "Of course not. My daughter can sit on the throne because of her own plans. If mother intervenes and interrupts her plans, and hands over the throne to someone else, we will lose more than just the throne. Do you understand, mother?"

Zhou Xinrou doesn't care about that.

"You are the legitimate royal family. I want everyone in the world to know. What's wrong with that?"

Shen Lanxi: "Mother is right, and neither am I. I just want to consolidate the imperial power in my hands, so that more people in the world will submit to me and recognize me as the emperor. Is that wrong?"

Zhou Xinrou was stunned when she saw that Shen Lanxi looked a little out of control.

"I handle state affairs every day, and I also have to worry about my family and my mother. I am a human being, and even if I have a strong body, I will be tired."

"The mother didn't care about her daughter and questioned her like this, which really made her feel heartbroken."

Zhou Xinrou had never encountered Shen Lanxi speaking so harshly before, and for a moment she was a little distracted.

"Mother, please love your daughter!"

Zhou Xinrou looked at her daughter, who was very different from before, with a dim look in her eyes. She couldn't say the words she had prepared before at this moment.

"Mother, do you know that you are biased?"

Zhou Xinrou was a little afraid to meet Shen Lanxi's eyes.

"Nonsense, you are my only child, why would I favor anyone?"

"You are partial to Huang Yu." Shen Lanxi said with paranoia in her tone.

"The mother treats Huang Yu better than her daughter. Just because her daughter is stronger than a boy, does the mother treat her daughter like a boy and doesn't need to care about her?"

So this was the reason. I thought she had discovered something.

"Lan Xi, even if mother is partial, she will only be partial to you."

"You also know that Huang Yu is your mother's savior. If it weren't for her, you would have been unable to see your mother by now."

Shen Lanxi's tone was filled with doubt.

"Really? Does the mother really care about her daughter?"

Zhou Xinrou was now in a state of panic, and the speech she had prepared before had also been completely messed up.

"Of course. If I didn't care about you, why would I call you here?"

"I'm just worried that once the war breaks out, some people will take advantage of the situation and cause chaos in the court, threatening your life!"

"A mother will always care about her daughter."

Shen Lanxi was deeply moved when she saw Zhou Xinrou's face full of concern and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I am aware of my mother's worries."

"So I have to eliminate all the things that make my mother worried, and then I can welcome my mother into the palace in style!"

"By then, mother will be the queen mother, second only to the emperor and above all others, and the most noble woman in the world."

Zhou Xinrou felt much more at ease when she heard her say that.

"Mother is in good health and will not ask you to leave the palace at will. Do whatever you want to do."

Shen Lanxi: "Mother, I have sent out all the soldiers in the city defense camp. Now there is no one to guard the capital except the imperial guards in the palace."

"I returned the secret guard to my mother last time. Can you lend it to me again?"

Zhou Xinrou froze. He was asking her for someone again?

"Sending troops to attack the Turks was actually just to create the illusion that our Great Zhou had an opportunity to take advantage of Tianjin. Now Zhou Ruyuan has joined forces with the Turks, and everyone in the world can kill him. I am going to send troops to Tianjin at the same time, and I ask mother for help!"
