Chapter 655: Shen Congwen is seriously ill!
How could Shen Lanxi use the day of her enthronement to consolidate her imperial power?
Zhou Xinrou's face turned visibly darker.
But the card of enduring humiliation has already been played. If she changes her words again, how will the world view her as the queen mother?
"My queen mother has endured humiliation and hardship. Today I have finally fulfilled my promise and will welcome her into the palace!" Shen Lanxi raised her voice, which resounded throughout the palace.
An hour later, the news that Shen Lanxi was the descendant of the late crown prince spread throughout the capital.
"No wonder she, a woman, has such great courage. It turns out she has royal blood, no wonder."
"Emperor Renxiao killed his brother and father. Your Majesty is carrying a deep blood feud. No wonder she is the emperor." Instead of a man from the Shen family.
It turns out that the Shen family is not qualified.
Carrier pigeons and hawks flew out of the capital like black clouds, heading in different directions.
…
Shen Family
Shen Congli, Shen Congli and others sat in the hall in a daze.
Shen Congli muttered to himself: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."
No wonder after he ascended the throne, he did not confer any titles on the Shen family. It turns out that they have nothing to do with His Majesty at all.
They are of royal blood, and they are just ordinary people.
"Second brother, we are suffering because our eldest brother has kept it a secret!" Shen Congli started complaining again.
Shen Conglian hasn't come back to his senses yet.
"How come Big Brother didn't tell us about such a big thing?"
"No wonder my brother didn't react at all when His Majesty ascended the throne. It turns out that position belongs to someone else."
They even boasted that they had changed their bloodline and had suddenly become royal relatives.
Now that I think about it, it’s all a joke.
The only real royal family member is Shen Lanxi. They are at most...even if they are...
"Second brother, who are we? Who are our Shen family?"
Miao pinched herself hard before she could speak.
"Even if we are not royal relatives, we are still the emperor's benefactors. If it weren't for my eldest brother taking in the empress dowager, His Majesty wouldn't be where he is now. Our family is indebted to His Majesty and the empress dowager."
Liu added: "It's a great favor."
Miao nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Shen Congli thought about it and felt that it was right, as long as he didn't cause them any trouble.
Shen Conglian pinched his forehead hard and said, "No matter what Yuan Jing and the others say, they are brothers from the same mother as Your Majesty, and they grew up with the children in the family. We are her relatives, and this point cannot be avoided."
There is just one thing: the offspring of the second and third wives will have nothing to do with Shen Lanxi in the future.
Thinking of this, the unwillingness in my heart kept rising like an underground river.
Originally thinking of discussing a few more things with his eldest brother, before going to bed at night, Shen Conglian specifically ordered the servants not to send any more wine to his eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, when they went to the house the next day, they found that their eldest brother was just like their father before, unable to move or speak.
"Doctor, call the doctor!"
Although Shen Lanxi no longer had any relationship with the Shen family, she did not take back the imperial physician, and the previous imperial physician was still working in the mansion.
"Imperial Physician, how is my elder brother?" Shen Conglian and others asked with concern.
The imperial physicians took turns to diagnose the patient's condition and only came to the same conclusion.
"Lord Shen drank too much, became depressed and sick, and his physical weakness caused by improper diet led to the accumulation of water into a river, which eventually became a hidden danger."
It was the same illness as Old Master Shen's before, a stroke. Moreover, it was even more serious than Old Master Shen's before.
"Doctor, can my elder brother still be cured?"
The doctor shook his head: "It's hard to say. We can only try our best to treat him, but the effect..."
When the Shen family saw the imperial doctors shaking their heads, even without saying anything, they knew that this was the best outcome for Shen Congwen.
"What should we do? The Queen Mother just went to the palace." Chen Conglian didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shen Congli: "The Queen Mother passed away and my brother got sick right after. Would it be bad if outsiders knew about it?"
Outsiders may spread false information and distort the facts.
"It must be to send a message to the palace."
"Doctor, please don't tell anyone about my brother's illness!"
Brothers Shen Conglian and Shen Congli repeatedly told him that he should not be afraid of ten thousand things, but be prepared for the worst.
Just one day after the Empress Dowager passed away, something like this happened to my eldest brother, adding misfortune to a good thing.
"Of course, of course!"
The imperial physician has always been very strict with his words.
Even if it was spread out, who in the capital didn't know that Shen Congwen was an alcoholic!
…
After Shen Lanxi received the news, she immediately ordered someone to send the message to Cining Palace.
The current Cining Palace was newly renovated. The previous Cining Palace was closed because of Madam Shen's suicide.
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty has sent a letter." The palace maid delivered the message.
"Come in!" Zhou Xinrou was preparing to reorganize the harem.
After the white-faced eunuch saluted, he said, "Shen Congwen has suffered a serious stroke, and his body cannot move, and his mouth cannot speak. His Majesty has ordered that the affairs of the harem should be decided by the Empress Dowager."
On the surface, Shen Lanxi has no relationship with the Shen family. The only person who has a connection with her is the middleman Zhou Xinrou.
From now on, she will be in charge of all the Shen family's affairs.
After Zhou Xinrou heard it, she knew what it meant. She cursed Shen Lanxi in her heart for being cold-blooded and heartless.
"I know. Tell His Majesty. I will send a royal physician over."
There is more to the story of the White-Faced Eunuch.
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty said that the Shen family has been kind to us mother and son. I hope that you can go to the Shen family in person and let the people know that the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are people who know how to repay their kindness."
Zhou Xinrou felt unhappy. Was Shen Lanxi teaching her how to do things?
"Empress Dowager~" the nanny reminded.
Zhou Xinrou suppressed her displeasure and said coldly, "Go back and tell His Majesty that I will prepare a generous gift."
Half an hour later, Feng was chased out of the palace, followed by more than twenty palace maids holding brocade boxes, and headed towards the Shen family in a mighty manner.
…
"Uncle, how is my grandfather?" Shen E looked at the person lying on the bed with tears in her eyes.
She wanted to write a letter to her father. Her grandfather was sick, her grandmother entered the palace, and Her Majesty's aunt was no longer Her Majesty's aunt.
Father, please come back soon!
Other descendants of the Shen family also had the same idea.
They heard people say that the Majesty's aunt is no longer their aunt. Can they still call the Majesty's aunt in the future?
Will your majesty's aunt still let them enter the palace? Will she still teach them martial arts?
Will you still smile at them?
The children were uneasy.
…
News came from Tianjin that Liu Mingxin had arrived in Tianjin. He looked down on Xiao Fang and had a big fight with him the first time they met. As a result, he accidentally broke his leg and might not be able to come back for a year or so.
Shen Lanxi immediately issued a transfer order, asking Yuan Lang to take charge of Tongzhou, and assigned a task to Liu Mingxin, asking him to be in charge of the imperial examinations of local students. Two hundred students from Tianjin must take part in the imperial examinations this year.
Two imperial edicts were issued in succession, followed by letters sent back from the northwest and other places.
Shen Yuanjing, Shen Yuanjun and Shen Yuanqing wrote a letter expressing their desire to return to the capital to visit the patient.
