I am the master of this world

Chapter 136 Encounter with Princess Changle (Part 3)
In the next three or four days, Shen Ning stayed in the Southeast Palace, fearing that she would encounter Princess Changle and throw herself into her arms again.

In the past few days, Lu Xun and Meng Xingchen also found some information.

Let’s talk about Princess Changle first. As the emperor’s youngest daughter and the daughter of the empress, Princess Changle is much loved. When she opened the mansion, there were [-] households. Treasures, and have a thousand guards and horses.

As for her consort, he was Yang Jian, the eldest son of the Yang family.

The Yang family was so powerful that the emperor asked Princess Changle to marry into the Yang family. Firstly, he cared for the Yang family's holy heart, and secondly, he wanted to find a well-matched consort for Princess Changle.

But it is a pity that although Yang Jian is the eldest son of the Yang family, he is fond of martial arts but not fond of literature.

Princess Changle has been well-educated since she was a child, and her talents are no less than those of men. Naturally, her favorite person is a talented man with outstanding literary talent and good looks, so she is extremely dissatisfied with this consort.

The two have been married for ten years, but they have never had any children. Even now, sometimes Yang Jian can't even enter the princess's mansion.

However, Lu Xun did not find any news about Princess Changle's dissolute nature. The evaluation of Princess Changle in the imperial capital is not bad. As for whether she has secretly adopted a male favorite, it is unknown.

Although Princess Changle had a good reputation, Shen Ning decided to stay away from her. Once Yang Jian was provoked, it would not be good. Yang Jian was the deputy commander of the Dihu Guards, and Shen Ning did not want to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason.

Next is Jia Xu.

Meng Xingchen spent money to find out about Jia Xu. He is from Guzang County, Wuwei County. Jia's family is a rich family of Confucianism in the local area.He could have become an official by relying on his filial piety, but he didn't. Over the years, he went around and went to many places, and now he is under Sima Liang's command.

Sima Liang was granted the title of King of Runan and the southern part of Yuzhou. Over the years, he has been running there with a strong army, with [-] soldiers.

As for why Jia Xu took refuge with Sima Liang, Meng Xingchen found no useful clues.

But Shen Ning didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he knew Jia Xu's name, Sima Liang was not the best prince among the Eight Kings, he was irritable by nature, and he was not a wise master. Jia Xu's principle of life is that self-protection comes first, How could he not understand that it is not safe to follow Sima Liang?

"Wuwei County fell into the hands of the foreign Xianbei more than ten years ago. The Jia family suffered a change. Does it have something to do with foreign enemies?"

Shen Ning couldn't help but guess.

It's a pity that there are too few useful clues, and Shen Ning can't guess the truth.

Just as Shen Ning was guessing, Lu Xun walked over.

"Master, King Sima Jiong of Qi has just entered Beijing." Lu Xun said.

Shen Ning nodded, and said: "The seven princes are here, the emperor's capital is lively now."

Lu Xun said with a smile: "This King of Qi was very unruly when he entered the capital. The Su Wei army refused to let his three thousand soldiers enter the city, and the two sides almost fought. In the end, it was the Minister of War who came in person and persuaded Sima Jiong with words, but Let’s make an exception and allow him to lead a thousand troops into the city.”

"It's a pity, it's only lively when we fight." Shen Ning belongs to the fact that watching the excitement is not too much to do.

But then, things really started to get worse, because people from the palace came.

An internal official in the palace came to the Southeast Palace, paid a visit to Sima Haiyun, and said: "Your Highness, the servants are summoned by His Majesty, and will enter the palace at Sishi tomorrow to meet the saint."

Sima Haiyun nodded, rewarded him with some money, and asked him to go back and recover.

After the person left, Sima Haiyun patted his face and sighed: "The one who should come is finally coming, Shen Ning, I don't want to meet Sheng."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Tomorrow's Miansheng is not the only one. There are seven other princes. You are a nephew. At that time, you will only listen and not talk. Something happened." Shen Ning comforted.

Sima Haiyun sighed: "That's the only way to go, it's a pity you can't accompany me."

"How can you enter the palace with a humble job and low status!" Shen Ning replied.

But in my heart, I really want to visit the palace.

That is to see the virtues of the eight princes, but also to see what His Majesty looks like today!
Shen Ning was still very curious about this emperor who was both an enemy and an uncle.

In other words, based on this relationship, Princess Changle is Shen Ning's cousin?
In the heavily guarded harem, there is a Sanqing Temple.

This is the alchemy room specially built by the emperor, next to his bedroom.The emperor pursued longevity, so he was obsessed with alchemy.I was also afraid that someone would have ulterior motives, so all the alchemists were carefully selected by Tian Shidao, and then sent in after cleansing.

Walking into the Sanqing Temple, the main hall is a statue of Sanqing. An old man in a dragon robe is sitting on the futon lying down on the futon, meditating with his eyes closed.

This old man was the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhou.

Beside him, stood Qin Tianjian Jianzheng, who is also the head teacher of Tianshi Dao, Tianjizi.

After a long time, Sima Zhou took a deep breath and opened his cloudy eyes.

"Daozhang, today's elixir is effective. I just breathed in and absorbed the power of the medicine, and suddenly I felt my internal organs are full of vitality, and my whole body is full of strength."

Sima Zhou said in surprise, the strange red color appeared on his face, it was definitely not a healthy red color.

Tianjizi respectfully said: "Your Majesty, this pill has the effect of nourishing essence and Qi, and can prolong life. Taking it for a long time will be of great benefit to the body."

Sima Zhou nodded, but felt a little regretful: "You can prolong your life, but you can't live forever. By the way, does the Taoist Golden Elixir in Longhu Mountain have any clues? I heard that Sima Yue also sent people to Longhu Mountain?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sima Yue's condition has worsened. The imperial doctor has already diagnosed him. He may only have one or two years of life. So he can't wait to find the Taoist Golden Elixir. But Longhu Mountain has lost the alchemy of refining the Taoist Golden Elixir. , there are rumors that there are two more Taoist golden elixirs hidden in Longhu Mountain. The Earth Tiger Guards are looking for them on Longhu Mountain, even if they search Longhu Mountain all over, they still have to find the whereabouts of the Taoist golden elixir." Tianjizi replied.

Sima Zhou nodded, and then said with emotion: "Sima Yue is a few months older than me. When he was young, he was physically strong, far superior to me. Now, he is withered and waiting to die, but I feel that there is hope for longevity! Thanks to the elixir I am very pleased that there is a Taoist priest who protects me for a long life."

"This is what a poor Taoist should do." Tian Jizi looked calm, as if neither pleased with things nor sad with himself.

Sima Zhou suddenly remembered Xuanjizi and asked, "Xuanjizi was killed. Do you know who the murderer was?"

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own destiny. The killing of the poor brother was caused by cause and effect. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters. The murderer is tainted by cause and effect, and someone else will take care of him." Tianjizi said casually.

In fact, even he has forgotten who killed his junior brother, because looking at him, everything has a cause and effect.

Sima Zhou suddenly felt that Tianjizi's Taoism was profound, so he did not ask further questions, but said with a smile: "What the Taoist said makes sense!"

Afterwards, Sima Zhou stood up and walked to the alchemy room at the back.

Entering the alchemy room, what came into view was an alchemy furnace, and several fair-skinned alchemists were busy.

Not far away, an exquisite beauty was preparing pharmaceutical powder. This woman was Zhao Qingxuan.

Sima Zhou had just taken the elixir, which seemed to not only refresh the mind, but also arouse anger in the body, his eyes swept over Zhao Qingxuan, and he couldn't take it away.

"What an exquisite beauty!" Sima Zhou's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The Taoist robe on her body not only did not lower Zhao Qingxuan's appearance, but added a different kind of temptation.Although the Taoist robe was loose, it was difficult to conceal his proud figure.The temperature in the alchemy room was relatively high, and her temples were wet with sweat, adding a different kind of beauty to her face.The natural red mole between the eyebrows is like a flame.

"Daoist, is he Xuanjizi's apprentice?" Sima Zhou asked.

Tian Jizi said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Such beauties can only be enjoyed by me. It's a pity to stay in the alchemy room." Sima Zhou felt a fire burning in his chest.

Tianjizi said: "The whole world belongs to His Majesty, so naturally she also belongs to His Majesty."

Sima Zhou laughed, then turned and returned to the bedroom.

The ceremonial supervisor next to him walked towards Zhao Qingxuan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Taoist Master Daoxuan, please come with me."

Zhao Qingxuan had already noticed that His Majesty was looking at her, and her eyes were full of aggression.

"Eunuch, where are you going?" Although Zhao Qingxuan already had the answer in her heart, she still asked subconsciously.

The palm eunuch smiled and said: "Taoist Priest Daoxuan, it is naturally His Majesty's palace."

Zhao Qingxuan immediately clenched her fists.

She is unwilling to surrender to the old guy, even if he is the current His Majesty.But when she thought of her own revenge, her family members who were all slaughtered, and her master who died tragically, her unwillingness was so humble.

Only now did she understand why Xuanjizi asked her to come to the alchemy room to be a medicine boy, because this was the fastest opportunity to get close to His Majesty, and it was also the place where His Majesty would be most favored.

Now, she waited for this opportunity.

This will be her only chance to rise to the top and gain power. Look at His Majesty's four favorite concubines, which one is not powerful?
Her innocence, her dreams, and her life no longer existed when the Zhao family was destroyed.

"Eunuch Lao is here!"

Zhao Qingxuan stood up and said calmly.

Just like that, Zhao Qingxuan walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials came to Wufeng Tower to wait for the court, but learned that the morning court had been cancelled.

The civil and military officials have already taken it for granted, knowing that His Majesty is lingering on the beautiful arms of a beautiful woman, unable to get out of bed.

And countless concubines in the harem also received the news, as if they were facing an enemy.Especially the four favorite concubines, when they learned that the woman His Majesty was lucky to be with was a woman of the Heavenly Master Way, they were even more worried that they would lose His Majesty's favor.

Because the speed with which His Majesty loves the new and dislikes the old is well known to many.

During Shen Shizhong, Shen Ning escorted Sima Haiyun to the front of Wufeng Building.

The other seven princes also arrived one after another.

This was the first time Shen Ning saw the faces of the seven princes, and he remembered their looks in his heart.

Soon, the eunuch in the palace led the way and led Sima Haiyun and seven princes into the palace.

Shen Ning couldn't leave and had to wait for Sima Haiyun to leave the palace.

who knows unfortunately
Shen Ning unexpectedly met Princess Changle's guard of honor!
