RWNEFE -Chapter 224 Shen Lanxi, I’ll Fight You to the Death!

Shen Lanxi arrived at the banquet and immediately ordered the estate sealed.

“No one is allowed to leave without my order!”

“Write to the court immediately! The outsiders’ treachery knows no bounds—they dared poison our marriage convoy and even attempted to harm Hailing City officials. They want to seize Hailing City! Their audacity is unbelievable!”

Cheng Zheng picked up paper and pen and began writing furiously.

He was extremely practiced at drafting memorials—his mind hardly needed to think, and words flowed smoothly onto the page.

“Request the court to dispatch a strong army to annihilate the foreign forces and crush their wolfish ambitions!”

Cheng Zheng nodded repeatedly—this made perfect sense!

“Shen Lanxi, shut up! You’re keeping us all locked in here—how are we supposed to relieve ourselves?” Zhou Yunyue’s face turned red, her hands clutching her stomach in pain, veins bulging on her forehead as she struggled to endure the torment.

Shen Lanxi’s eyes swept over her coldly: “Naturally, no foreign spy shall go unpunished!”

“The one who silently poisoned you all—I am certain they are here!” Her sharp gaze scanned the crowd like a hawk.

With a metallic flash, she drew the long sword from one of the soldiers beside her.

“If I do not uncover this vile traitor and execute them, then I, Shen Lanxi, am unworthy to lead this marriage convoy!”

Zhou Yunyue had already run to the latrine three times, her face as pale as paper.

The others were no better—each clutching their stomachs, struggling with waves of cramping pain.

“General, I… I need to relieve myself!” A young official’s daughter, flushed and exhausted, begged shyly, her head nearly touching her chest.

Shen Lanxi: “You may, but only after my men have questioned you. If you refuse to cooperate, you will be treated as a spy!”

The young official’s daughter was terrified, crying as she nodded, covering her face.

Shen Lanxi gestured to the soldiers to begin questioning.

After a few simple questions, the young woman ran off, still crying.

Soon, more people could no longer endure the pain, covering their faces with handkerchiefs as they went to be interrogated.

Zhou Yunyue could no longer hold it and stood up, heading toward the back.

Two soldiers blocked her with weapons.

“Shen Lanxi! Let your men let me through!” Zhou Yunyue screamed.

Shen Lanxi’s face remained expressionless: “No one is exempt—rules apply to everyone.”

Furious, desperate, and in pain, tears sprang to Zhou Yunyue’s eyes.

“Shen Lanxi! I am a Princess! How dare you humiliate me like this? I’ll fight you to the death!”

She charged at Shen Lanxi, but before she could get close, several weapons gleamed in the light, pointed at her.

Ban Sicao: “Tell us, are you a foreign spy? Did you disguise your face?”

Han Mingxuan’s face turned ashen. Did Shen Lanxi intend to act so boldly in Hailing City without his consent?

“Shameless! Lord Shen, how dare you disrespect the Princess!” Han Mingxuan shouted, pointing angrily at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Yuanjing: “Lord Han, something happened to the Princess at your banquet. Our General will report this to the court and hold you fully accountable!”

Xiao Fang shouted angrily: “Speak! Did you collude with the outsiders? Were you working with them from the inside?”

Shen Yuanzu: “Luckily, our General was unwell and didn’t attend, otherwise you could have achieved your desires with the outsiders!”

Han Mingxuan’s face changed drastically—collaborating with the enemy could mean execution and extermination of his entire clan.

“You’re slandering me! I am innocent. Hosting the banquet followed proper protocol. If anyone truly intended murder, they wouldn’t wait until now—and they wouldn’t still be sitting here!”

Shen Yuanjing: “Who knows? Maybe this was arranged to cover your tracks.”

Xiao Fang: “It’s too dangerous here—maybe the entire Commandant’s Mansion is full of foreign spies!”

Ban Sicao: “General, we cannot tolerate spies. If any are found, they must be executed without mercy!”

Shen Lanxi slowly pointed her sword at Han Mingxuan, curling her lips in a cold smile. A murderous aura instantly radiated, forcing Han Mingxuan to take several steps back.

A flash of fear crossed Han Mingxuan’s eyes. He reached to draw his sword, but Shen Lanxi redirected hers toward Zhou Yunyue.

The Princess recoiled, legs trembling, falling to the ground.

Screams erupted.

She was a Princess of Great Zhou. Before, no one in the palace respected her—even palace maids and eunuchs could trample her. Now, even after receiving her father’s title, she still looked so pathetic.

All because of Shen Lanxi!

Two palace maids hurried to help Zhou Yunyue up. As soon as she was steady, their own stomachs gave out.

Even the attendants, who hadn’t eaten or drunk anything, were poisoned.

They didn’t want to die!

“General, I need to relieve myself!”

“General, I also need to go…”

A rush of people surged toward the interrogators.

Zhou Yunyue was jostled and fell flat on the ground, even worse than the first time—her entire face hit the floor.

“Shen Lanxi…”

Her screams did nothing to enhance her dignity. As soon as she finished, her stomach gave out again.

Her face turned pale, no longer caring about royal decorum, no longer waiting for assistance—she leapt up and ran.

“Move! I am the Princess! How dare you…”

“I will have Father punish your entire clan…”

Han Mingxuan stared dumbfounded at the crazed royal princess, his face twitching awkwardly.

“General Shen, that is the Princess!”

Then he realized Shen Lanxi had redirected her sword toward him.

“Han Mingxuan! You will answer for this poisoning incident!”

Ban Sicao placed the brown sugar water on a side table.

Shen Lanxi watched coldly.

Han Mingxuan stared at the tray, humiliated and angry.

Shen Lanxi had clearly come for revenge—could the poisoning incident be related to her?

Before he could think it through, his own stomach betrayed him.

“Move! I need to go to the latrine!”

Shen Lanxi did not hesitate—she swung her sword!

Boom! A massive crack split the ground over ten meters long.

Han Mingxuan’s hair stood on end, his entire body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Shen Lanxi was a woman—how could she possess such profound inner strength?

“Commander Han, in such a rush to leave… are you trying to warn a spy?”

No spy here—he wasn’t a traitor!

But the pain was unbearable, like knives twisting in his gut. He couldn’t fight back and didn’t want to be humiliated in public.

“Move, let me inspect!”

Even the Emperor himself would have to make way now.

Zhou Yunyue felt herself shoved aside by a great force, crashing into a foul-faced servant.

Screams erupted again.

Shen Lanxi watched with amusement as everyone writhed. All their royal titles, all their noble blood—forget it. In the end, they were like any ordinary person: thirsty, hungry, needing relief, bound by the cycles of nature.
