Chapter 455: Zhou Yunsui’s incident!
Shen Lanxi didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she stood up and said respectfully: "Whether Yuantang can go home to live is up to the elders to decide. Lanxi has something else to do, so I'll go out now."
Shen Yuantang looked very unhappy.
Zhou Xinrou: "Go get busy!"
…
Old Madam Shen has been very busy with her two daughters' affairs recently, and she has been a bit perfunctory in handling the Tenth Princess' affairs.
"Mother, will it offend the princess if I tell her this?" Shen Shuniang thought.
Madam Shen said indifferently: "She is just an unfavored princess. Even if we give her nothing and divide her up, the royal family won't say anything."
Ever since the palace sent the plaque, the old lady has become more confident.
"Lan Xi has been busy lately and hasn't been home much. You guys should also be careful and don't always go to the Guardian's Mansion for no reason."
Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang's faces froze.
"Mother, we sisters finally come to the capital, and we definitely want to show our filial piety to you more!"
Mrs. Shen was not fooled by them, but she was still moved by their filial piety.
"You two should ask before you come. Come when Lan Xi is not at home. If you run into her and make her angry, I can't protect you!"
There was a flash of displeasure in the eyes of Shen Shuniang and her sister.
They had already persuaded their mother to help run their family business, but because Shen Lanxi caused panic in the capital every day, their mother changed her mind.
I can't count on my mother for now, I can only count on the princess.
Two days later, Madam Shen went out to burn incense, and most of the female members of the family went with her.
"Huangjue Temple was burned down by a fire before, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse."
Shen Congwen: "Mother, this is called destruction before construction."
Old Madam Shen is praying for her family's descendants today. She will recite scriptures for an hour in a special small Buddhist temple to show her piety.
"Those of you who need to rest should rest, and those who need to burn incense should burn incense. We will have a vegetarian meal at noon, and then we will go back home after a short rest!"
"yes!"
Except for the old lady, everyone else retreated.
Liu didn't want to get involved with her two sisters-in-law, so she took her two daughters-in-law who were about to give birth to the baby and went to the guest room to rest.
Old Madam Shen did not call her two daughters today. She just met them by chance when she was out, so they came together.
Most of the men are here today, and Shen Yuanxu has also returned from the academy.
Zhou Yunsui glanced at a certain place, and with an idea in mind, she urged the people around her, "Yuanxin, my elder brother hasn't come back from the academy for a long time. Go ask him about the Bailu Academy. Find out more about it. I'll go to the palace in a few days to see if I can let you study in the academy."
Shen Yuanxin naturally didn't want to study, but when he thought of Shen Yuanxu's current status among literati, he became tempted.
Who could have thought that the reckless man who had fought on the battlefield before would now be greeted by students with courtesy and called "sir".
When Zhou Yunsui saw Shen Yuanxin leave, she found an excuse and took the maid to the guest room.
After a while, a figure quietly opened the door and went in.
~
When Shen Lanxi met the head of the Ministry of Works, his subordinates came on horseback to report.
"Zhou Yunsui has taken care of it."
Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said, "If anyone from the Shen family comes, just say that I'm out of town."
"yes!"
The Shen family’s sky has collapsed!
Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yuanxin, who was kneeling on the ground in dishevel, and the figure hidden in the bedding. She could no longer bear it and fainted.
Screams, curses, and screams rang out one after another, and the Shen family was in chaos. Today is the day of worshipping Buddha, and many families of dignitaries have come. After the Huangjue Temple continued to be burned, it became famous again.
As it involved a royal scandal, the matter was soon brought to the attention of Emperor Renxiao.
Emperor Renxiao was so angry that his eyes went dark and he fainted.
Fortunately, the palace servants were already used to it, and Wang Bao methodically arranged for people to notify Shen Lanxi, seal off the harem, and let Wei Dongzhu strengthen the security of the palace.
The three regent ministers once again received the news that Emperor Renxiao would not attend the morning court, and sat together to discuss the matter.
"Should we submit the petition for the appointment of a crown prince?"
Wu Yanzhi remained silent.
After thinking it over, Liu Mingxin said, "Ask someone to hand over a memorial and have a look!"
Try your Majesty's attitude.
The old tutor and Wu Yanzhi both nodded.
This is not the first time that His Majesty has cancelled court. Although he seems to be in good health, it is worrying to see him do this one after another.
There must be someone to inherit the throne to avoid chaos among the princes.
…
The Shen family was in a gloomy mood. The servants worked very quietly, not even daring to breathe.
Shen Yuantang stayed at home with her mother today. After much persuasion, her mother finally agreed to let her live in the house for a while.
The people who went out to worship Buddha came back before noon, and they looked very embarrassed. Shen Yuantang quickly sent someone to inquire.
The unexpected result almost made her so angry that she had a stomachache.
"Mother, why did you agree to let father take a concubine?" Shen Yuantang said with a reproachful tone.
Zhou Xinrou didn't expect that Zhou Yunsui's affairs would be exposed in this way.
After this incident, the Shen family's reputation will definitely plummet, which is not the result she wants to see.
"Call your father!"
Shen Yuantang didn't dare to say much in front of his mother and could only go and deal with Shen Yuanxin.
Such a scandal happened in the Shen family. Shen Yuanxin made the princess wear such a big green hat. He can't even control the people in his own room. What use is he!
Shen Yuanxu hurried back after hearing the news. He had finally established himself in Bailu Academy and gained the respect of the students. Why did his family always hold him back?
Zhou Yunsui married into the Shen family with evil intentions, and such a person cannot be kept any longer.
Shen Yuanxu did not go home directly, but went to find Shen Lanxi.
When it was almost dark, Emperor Renxiao woke up.
"I fainted again?"
Wang Bao lowered his head and carefully helped Emperor Renxiao up.
"Your Majesty, you must not damage the dragon's body because of a small matter!" Wang Bao skillfully opened the box and took out a pill from it.
"This was urgently sent by the Imperial Master, who said that His Majesty should take it after he wakes up."
Because of his contribution in refining elixirs last time, Song Daoxi has been named the Imperial Master by Emperor Renxiao.
"After the Imperial Master sent the things, he hurried back to continue refining the elixir. He said he wanted to refine more elixirs for Your Majesty to clear away heat and soothe the qi."
After taking it, Emperor Renxiao felt his head was much clearer.
"The elixir sent by the Imperial Master is more useful than that sent by the Imperial Physician!"
Wang Bao flattered, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent, discovering such a talent as the Imperial Master."
Emperor Renxiao was still worried after bringing Song Daoxi back, so he had people monitor him day and night. It was only when the monitors reported that Song Daoxi occasionally took some pills that he took it to heart.
Now he was somewhat glad that he had been so decisive in asking the second brother to send the person over.
"Where is that evildoer?"
Wang Bao whispered, "The imperial physician has examined her and found that she is pregnant. There is news from the prison that the child is not the prince consort's."
Emperor Renxiao's eyes went dark again, and he quickly asked Wang Bao to take another pill and swallow it.
"It's not a pity to die!"
The royal family's dignity had already been damaged because of the last incident, and now something like this has happened again. So many people know about it, and it would be impossible to silence them even if they were silenced.
