Chapter 445: Shen Shu Niang’s son and Liang Xinyi’s daughter!
They have already experienced the taste of holding power, but as for those documents requesting the establishment of a crown prince?
Whoever submits a memorial is disrespectful to the current ruler. Wouldn't it be better to quietly eliminate him and replace him with one of our own?
The palace was in turmoil again. After a brief meeting with Wei Dongzhu, Shen Lanxi sent someone to send a message to Zhou Ruyuan, asking him to postpone his actions.
The two people sent by the rebel king can be killed at any time, but they cannot die now!
…
While Shen Lanxi was fighting openly and secretly with the men, something happened in the Shen family.
It was unknown when Shen Shuniang's son and Liang Xinyi's daughter got entangled with each other. After the two of them got together, Shen Shuniang kept mentioning the matter to Old Lady Shen and Shen Congwen.
Old Madam Shen almost fainted. They had only been in the capital from Jiangnan for a few days, how could they have done such a shameful thing so quickly?
It’s not that she doesn’t support her daughter, but the knocking on the door last night made her feel anxious and uneasy again.
"You bastard, didn't I tell you to behave yourself? Why didn't you take it to heart?" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she was about to cry.
Shen Shuniang was naturally proud. Although her son could not marry Shen Lanxi, he could marry the daughter of the eldest wife. From now on, they and the eldest brother's room would be indistinguishable from each other.
My mother is really something. She was probably frightened by the incident at home before. She gets scared like this at the slightest disturbance.
If she had not already heard that the Shen family was safe, would she have brought her children across mountains and rivers to the capital?
"Mother, my children are all grown up, how can I control them? Besides, this is their fate!"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could Mrs. Shen not know what her daughter is thinking and what her plans are?
But she really made a wrong move!
"Shun Niang, if mother remembers correctly, your two sons are already married, and your daughter is also engaged, right?"
Shen Shuniang looked embarrassed. Of course she couldn't say anything. Even her youngest daughter was engaged and they were divorced.
"Mother, people go up high, and water flows down low. My eldest son's wife is unlucky. She died of complications during childbirth. My second son's wife is a scoundrel. She contradicted me several times before, so my son divorced her!"
Old Madam Shen almost fainted.
As soon as I saw the flickering look in my daughter's eyes, I knew she was lying.
"Oh, what sin did I commit to give birth to such a bastard like you~"
Shen Congwen had a gloomy face from beginning to end. His leg had already healed, but His Majesty did not mention a word about asking him to return to the court.
With no hope for a career and difficulty walking due to his poor legs, he has lost all face and is too embarrassed to see anyone.
"Brother, please help me persuade mother as soon as possible. My children are all grown up, and it's really not right for a mother to interfere in their affairs!"
"This is about the daughter in my eldest brother's room. I'm sure my eldest brother can understand my sister's difficulties, right?"
After Shen Congwen confirmed that his mother was fine, he sneered and said, "They have to bear the consequences of the ugly things they have done. If they want to get married, they should write me a document before getting married. If anything happens to them in the future, it will have nothing to do with my Shen family, and your son will never get any help from my Shen family!"
Shen Shuniang was almost so angry that she vomited blood. If her son could not help his future, why would he force himself to marry a concubine and have a daughter?
"Brother, from your tone, do you seem to resent your sister?"
"It takes two to tango. If your daughter doesn't have that intention, how can my son be so eager to do it?"
Shen Congwen was furious and cursed: "You shameless people, you are a disgrace to the Shen family. You have brought shame to the Shen family. Now tell me to pack up your things and go back to Jiangnan!"
Shen Shuniang was frightened. The adults always looked like honest people who loved their younger siblings. She didn't expect that the honest people would be so scary when they were irritated.
“Brother…”
Chen Huiniang frowned and reminded, "Okay, sister, stop talking. Now that things have come to this, let's calm down and solve the problem. There's no point in yelling here."
Shen Huiniang kept winking at Shen Shuniang and pointing at Old Madam Shen.
Silly sister, eldest brother respects mother the most. It is much more useful to win over mother than to quarrel loudly.
"Mother's health is not good to begin with. If she gets angry because of this, I'll see how you're going to explain it to the people at home!"
This time, Shen Shuniang only called Shen Congwen, a male member of the Shen family, to come, and the other three brothers were still kept in the dark.
Old Madam Shen kept beating her chest and groaning, while Shen Congwen kept silent with a gloomy face.
There was silence for a moment.
…
The imperial physician at the post station has already examined the condition.
"It is indeed the Phantom Breath Powder!"
Because of the incident with the late queen, the imperial physicians in the palace already had a thorough understanding of the poisons of the Wan Du Sect. Although antidotes had not been developed for some poisons, it was still very easy to identify what kind of poison it was.
But once the poison name is confirmed, the involvement becomes even greater.
The Moon Kingdom envoys, who had rested for a night, had already thought of a solution.
"Since you are familiar with this poison, you must be very familiar with its origin."
Wei Dongzhu was speechless, because this poison was also possessed by the martial arts sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Yue Kingdom envoy said as if he had finally caught something wrong: "Our envoy was poisoned and killed by your Great Zhou in your place. Your Great Zhou cannot escape responsibility!"
It was the first time that Wei Dongzhu realized how lacking in eloquence he was. He was actually left speechless by the Yue Kingdom's envoy in just a few words.
What if it was Shen Lanxi?
How will she cope?
Zhou Ruyuan unconsciously began to feel a sense of comparison.
Jiang Wuya: "Although the poison belongs to the Great Zhou sect, your incident happened in the territory of the Great Zhou. However, it has nothing to do with our court."
Zhou Ruyuan sighed and gave his seat to Jiang Wuya.
"Everyone knows that the Yue Kingdom is here to envoy to the Great Zhou. We in the imperial court are already busy protecting your safety, so how could we do something that would harm others and not benefit ourselves?"
The envoys from the Moon Kingdom didn't care about that.
"No matter what the reason is, it's because your guards are not good enough. As for whether there are other reasons, we in Yue Country will investigate it ourselves!"
They made it clear that they no longer believed in the Great Zhou court.
Jiang Wuya: "What you did is clearly falling into the trap of the poisoner. The poisoner must have intended to alienate Yue Kingdom and Da Zhou. Please, envoy of Yue Kingdom, think carefully about what I said!"
The envoys from the Moon Kingdom exchanged glances. Even if he was right, what could they do?
If the dead were ordinary ministers, they would still be able to argue a few words after returning.
The one who died now was the most favored third prince, the prime minister's son-in-law.
If they don't make this matter bigger, their whole family will be dead when they return!
"The incident happened in Da Zhou, and the murderer hasn't been found yet, so you can say whatever you want."
"You are the ones behind the scenes who want to sow discord. We also say that you, the Great Zhou, did this deliberately to find an excuse to sow discord and push it onto others!"
So many things happened before Emperor Renxiao's birthday celebration officially started. Zhou Ruyuan was extremely worried and thought to himself that this birthday celebration should not be held at all!
