Chapter 89 My Shen family are fugitives, and your princess's residence isn't clean either!
When accused of disobeying an imperial order, Zhou Qiwu's expression changed drastically!
Shen Lanxi continued her stern questioning: "His Majesty is wary of princes and ministers being on good terms. When you were sent to your fiefdom, the Second Prince had not yet been born. His Majesty has never summoned you to the capital in all these years. How did you come to know the Second Prince?"
Zhou Qiwu's expression changed instantly.
"Don't tell me that His Majesty sent him to congratulate you on your birthday. His Majesty has already sent the Second Prince to provide disaster relief, so it's impossible for him to come and congratulate you again. Unless you think that your birthday is more important than the millions of people suffering from the disaster?"
Zhou Ru'an tried to explain several times, but each time she opened her mouth, she felt dizzy and could only hold her head, enduring wave after wave of dizziness.
Shen Lanxi said with a half-smile, "My Shen family are fugitives, and your princess's residence isn't clean either! If you dare to leak information about the Shen family, I won't mind dragging a princess and a prince down with us!"
Yuan Lang came in from outside and walked to Zhou Qiwu's side.
Do you think you can leave the princess's residence safely?
As if she had found her pillar of support, Zhou Qiwu instinctively leaned against Yuan Lang.
Shen Lanxi scoffed, "Why do you think you still can't find the rest of the Shen family?"
Yuan Lang's expression hardened.
"I'll tell you the truth: if anything happens to us, the rest of the Shen family will take a petition written in blood to the capital to file a complaint."
Yuan Lang, emboldened, said, "Do you think His Majesty would believe your Shen family? Our northern part of Tianjin has also suffered from the disaster. The Second Prince came to provide disaster relief, and it just so happens to be the princess's birthday. It is only natural for him to come and congratulate the princess, showing respect to his elders!"
Shen Lanxi's sharp eyes swept over them: "What if we also add the charge of conspiring to steal the Wei family army's provisions?" After saying that, a crazy smile appeared on her face.
Zhou Qiwu shouted like a madman, "You're talking nonsense! Don't try to frame us with the crimes of your Shen family!"
Even if he fainted, Zhou Ruan could not lie down.
He struggled to get up, and when he caught a glimpse of the two naked people on the bed, his face darkened, and he almost fainted again!
"Shen Lanxi, this is slander! How could I possibly steal rations? If you continue with your nonsense, don't blame me..."
Shen Lanxi: "Exterminate my entire clan? Fine, but don't forget, you are also among my nine clans!"
Zhou Ru'an felt her blood boil, and when she accidentally saw something dirty, she vomited.
They vomited all over Wang Xiangyi and her brother. They were already disgusted, and now they were even more disgusted, so they vomited uncontrollably!
Yuan Lang frowned and glanced at Zhou Ru'an with disdain. Useless thing.
What do you want?
Shen Lanxi: "Simple. I heard that my cousin's husband, Liu Chengen, is in charge of Tianjin's maritime transport. Have him send people to escort us to Jiangnan!"
"Impossible!" Yuan Lang refused outright.
Shen Lanxi took out a whistle and blew it, and suddenly the sound of an eagle's cry rang out in the air.
"There's a letter on the eagle. Guess which will get to the capital faster, the eagle or you guys who will kill our Shen family?"
Zhou Qiwu: "Quick, shoot down the eagle outside!"
The guards rushed out, but all they saw was Xiaoxue circling high in the sky, as if she were flying there on purpose for them. She circled twice and then disappeared from sight.
"Did you shoot him dead?" Zhou Qiwu asked the guard.
The guard lowered his head and said hesitantly, "When I chased after it, the eagle had already disappeared!"
Zhou Xiwu was furious.
"Princess, the young master and young lady still haven't woken up. Shouldn't we call the royal physician immediately?"
Zhou Qiwu was so angry and frightened that he hurriedly ordered his children to be carried downstairs to call the imperial physician.
Yuan Lang called Zhou Qiwu aside.
“Princess, our people have indeed not found any trace of the rest of the Shen family! In my opinion, we should grant her request.”
Before Yuan Lang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Qiwu's scream.
"No, I want them dead."
Yuan Lang quickly led Zhou Qiwu to a secluded spot, pinned her down, and whispered suggestively in her ear, "Once we're on the ship, we're the ones in charge." This stupid woman, she only understood after he made it so clear!
Zhou Qiwu listened and slowly regained her composure. A bloodthirsty glint gradually crept into her eyes.
“They will definitely join up with the rest of the Shen family. That’s when we can truly wipe them out in one fell swoop!” Yuan Lang said.
Zhou Qiwu thought of his children's miserable state, his lips drooped, and he immediately hugged Yuan Lang tightly.
"Yuan Lang, they've humiliated my child and me so much, you're the only one I can rely on..."
Half an hour later, Yuan Lang appeared, but Zhou Qiwu was not with him.
Zhou Ru'an has already been carried away by the guards for treatment, leaving only the Shen family in the courtyard!
"The princess has agreed to your request!"
"Wait two days..."
Before Yuan Lang could finish speaking, a guard suddenly rushed in to report.
"Mr. Yuan, something terrible has happened! The warehouse at the city gate is on fire!"
Yuan Lang's expression changed drastically, and he turned and ran away!
Before long, all the guards of the princess's residence were transferred to the city gate to fight the fire.
Shen Lanxi raised her hand and made a retreat gesture, and Feng Wu led six people down from the sky!
"Split up and disguise yourselves to leave the city!"
"yes!"
Shen Lanxi led Shen Yuanjing and Shen Yuanqing, while the rest of the group was divided into six groups, each accompanied by a bodyguard.
The princess's residence was in complete chaos, and no one noticed that the Shen family had left!
"Big sister, that person promised to see us off, so why did we still run away?" Shen Yuanjing asked quickly.
Shen Lanxi: "You listen to everything he says, and believe everything I say?"
"Remember, this is called tactics. We must use deception and trickery to keep the enemy guessing, so they won't dare to offend us!"
"Will that make him afraid of us?"
"No, it's to buy us time to sneak away!"
Shen Yuanjing thought about it carefully, and then his eyes lit up!
"What if they come after us when we get to Dongchuan?" They've already offended the two men; they'll definitely retaliate.
Shen Lanxi smiled mysteriously: "They wouldn't dare!"
Shen Yuanjing didn't understand.
"Why?"
"Whoever attacks us is the real culprit behind the theft of the Wei family army's supplies. Therefore, everyone dares to attack us, except for them!"
Shen Yuanjing was still confused.
Shen Lanxi laughed and said, "Many people know that we have arrived in Tianjin and entered the Princess's residence. If something happens to us, this mud will be poured on Zhou Qiwu and the Second Prince."
Shen Yuanjing: "Why?" No one in the court is helping them? If someone were helping them, they wouldn't have been sentenced to exile. Why is your older sister so certain?
The city gate is just ahead. Shen Lanxi said, "You're still young. You'll understand after you experience more things and read more books!"
She carried a vegetable basket and held Shen Yuanqing's hand, distancing herself from Shen Yuanjing, who was carrying a shoulder pole.
They left the city smoothly, one after the other.
Not long after they left the city, the guards ordered the city gates to be closed.
Shen Lanxi glanced at the slowly closing city gate, then turned and boarded the carriage that was already waiting there.
"My lord, are you seated securely?"
"Set off!"
"Giddy up!"
