I am the master of this world

Chapter 162
Shen Ning did not reject Princess Changle's proposal. He really couldn't go in and out of the princess mansion often. Once the bad reputation spread, saying that he was kept by Princess Changle and was a minister of the staff, Shen Ning's accumulated Confucian name would become stinky, and he would even get along with him. The Yang family turned against each other.

Next, Shen Ning went to the treasure house of the Princess Mansion to choose a porcelain vase, and secretly put the prescription of the five-flavored golden elixir missing into the bottle.When the time comes, Princess Changle will award the porcelain vase to Yang Jian, and that Zhang Danfang will naturally enter the Yang family.

same side.

When Emperor Sima Zhou came back from Concubine Yan, his expression looked weird, as if he was in a state of drunkenness.

Zhao Qingxuan didn't dare to ask, but she studied alchemy and understood some pharmacology during this period, and His Majesty's state seems to be caused by some medicine.

Seeing that His Majesty enjoys it so much, it's no wonder that she has to go to Concubine Yan's place every day. This is Concubine Yan's counterattack against Zhao Qingxuan's favor, and Concubine Yan also played with pills.

"Have you found the missing recipe?" Sima Zhou asked.

Zhao Qingxuan came back to her senses, and said the prepared speech: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the concubine asked Shen Ning, and when Shen Ning got the pill formula, he was missing that one, and he didn't have the guts to keep it private, so the pill recipe The absence has nothing to do with him."

"Then what should I do? Could it be that I can't match the Five Flavors Golden Elixir?" Sima Zhou was startled. Immortality is the top priority, and it is what he cares most about.

Zhao Qingxuan said again: "The missing one is the material ratio, which is very important. Without it, it will be difficult to refine the Five Flavors Golden Pill. But your majesty doesn't have to worry, as long as you find the missing one."

"By the way, did Shen Ning tell you where he got the elixir? Where did he get it, and if he looked for it, he should be able to find it!" Sima Zhou laughed.

And then, comes the main event.

When Sima Zhou learned that the elixir was packed in a jade box, and that the jade box was given to Princess Changle by Yang Jian, and Princess Changle was given to Shen Ning, Sima Zhou frowned.

"So, this elixir formula was originally in the Yang family?" Sima Zhou asked.

Zhao Qingxuan replied: "I have to ask Princess Changle to confirm this matter, but my concubine feels that Shen Ning dare not lie."

"How unreasonable!" Sima Zhou said angrily.

Such an important elixir was sent back and forth, and finally delivered to the king of his country. He simply didn't take his attention seriously!

"Where did the Yang family get it?" Sima Zhou asked again.

Zhao Qingxuan really wanted to say that it was Sima Jiong, King of Qi, so as to make His Majesty furious, but she held back. According to his and Shen Ning's plan, now is not the time.

She replied: "I don't know, servant girl! Thinking about it, the jade box was also given to the Yang family by others, and was presented to Princess Changle by Yang Jian."

"Summon Yang Jian, I need a complete pill formula!" Sima Zhou said angrily.

But Zhao Qingxuan said: "Your Majesty, this concubine has the courage to think that this matter should be treated with caution."

"Oh? Why? Tell me!" Sima Zhou asked hastily.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the inner room, and Xu Chongzhi also went to the supervisor of ceremonies, so Zhao Qingxuan dared to continue: "Your Majesty, the five-flavored golden elixir is related to the road of longevity, why is the most important one missing? The jade box was given to Princess Changle? As we all know, the son-in-law is an upright person and doesn’t know how to lie, so the concubine feels that he doesn’t know the whereabouts of Missing Danfang.”

In fact, what Zhao Qingxuan said meant that the most important one was torn off on purpose, and they didn't want to dedicate it to His Majesty. Even if His Majesty asked Yang Jian, Yang Jian didn't know.

Sima Zhou was not stupid, and immediately understood Zhao Qingxuan's meaning: "You are right, someone is using this five-flavored golden elixir to play tricks! As for whether it is against Yang Jian or against me, it is hard to say. Since asking Yang Jian is fruitless, then How do I find what's missing?"

"Your Majesty, when Shen Ning left, he had a small proposal." Zhao Qingxuan took the opportunity to say.

Sima Zhou asked, "What proposal?"

Zhao Qingxuan said: "Shen Ning said that through Dihuwei, we can win over the confidantes or servants in Yang's mansion, let these people check carefully, whether they can find the missing content of the pill, and at the same time find out the cause of the whole thing. For example , where did you get that jade box containing the prescriptions?"

"It's a good idea, you can try it." Sima Zhou's eyes lit up, and he continued: "Since this matter was brought up by Shen Ning, what do you think about letting Shen Ning handle it? He works in the Land Tiger Guard, and When I first arrived in the capital, I didn't have such a complicated relationship, and it was even less likely to be suspected by outsiders."

"Courts and concubines dare not discuss it." Zhao Qingxuan didn't answer.

Sima Zhou immediately sent a confidant internal officer to leave the palace immediately and hand over the matter to Shen Ning.

In this way, the first step of the plan is completed.

The next day, Princess Changle and Princess Yiyang entered the palace together. When they met Sima Zhou, Changle also specifically mentioned the jade box.

"Father, if I had known that the jade box contained the recipe for the five-flavor golden elixir, I would have dedicated it directly to my father!" Princess Changle apologized.

Sima Zhou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you rewarded Shen Ning, and Shen Ning borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to me, and I was also happy. By the way, where did Yang Jian get the jade box from?"

"I don't know either." Princess Changle shook her head.

At this moment, Princess Yiyang said: "I remember, it seems that King Qi got the prescription of Wuwei Jindan back then, how could it fall into the hands of the Yang family?"

What Sima Qing said was naturally Shen Ning's arrangement.As for King Qi getting Wuwei Jindan, it is pure slander, and Sima Zhou couldn't find out that Sima Qing was lying.

Hearing what his sister said, Sima Zhou's smile froze.

If the Five Flavors Golden Pill was in the hands of the King of Qi, then how it fell into the hands of the Yang family was naturally a gift from the King of Qi.So, King Qi and the Yang family have secretly made friends long ago?
Seeing the emperor's expression, Zhao Qingxuan took a deep look at Sima Qing.

Zhao Qingxuan was very curious, how did Shen Ning win over Princess Changle and Princess Yiyang?Using her two mouths to tell that King Qi is involved with the Yang family, Shen Ning and himself can stay out of the matter and are extremely safe.

With His Majesty's narrow mindedness, suspicious character, and the fact that he has long been disgusted with the Yang family, this time, the Yang family colluded with the King of Qi, and it will create a rift in His Majesty's heart.

When the ravine is deep enough, it is time for His Majesty to take action.

As for whether Sima Zhou would suspect that Sima Qing was lying to him, he would doubt it. Shen Ning and Sima Qing were sure of his character, especially when it involved King Jue Qi. No attitude.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter. Royal sister, are you still used to living outside for a few days?" Sima Zhou asked.

Sima Qing nodded and said, "It's the same as living in the palace, Brother Huang, I have a request?"

"Oh, what request?" Sima Zhou asked.

Sima Qing said: "I want to recognize Qingxuan as my god-sister, can Your Majesty agree?"

Sima Zhou was taken aback, Zhao Qingxuan was also startled, and immediately realized that it was Shen Ning's help. Since the two started to cooperate, Shen Ning wanted to find a backer for her.

"Seeing Qingxuan reminds me of my righteous sister back then." Sima Qing explained.

Sima Zhou naturally knew that Sima Qing had a sworn sister who he had befriended before anything happened to the Shen family. At that time, Sima Zhou still coveted her beauty. Unfortunately, as the entire Shen family was killed, they all died in the turmoil.

Now facing his sister's request, Sima Zhou naturally did not object, so he asked Zhao Qingxuan, "Daoxuan, are you willing?"

"The concubine is willing!" Zhao Qingxuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Although the eldest princess Yiyang does not have any power, her status and seniority are there, and with the addition of Princess Changle, Zhao Qingxuan's position in the harem is considered stable.After the other concubines know about it, they will also have concerns.

And then, finally came the day of Sima Zhou's birthday.

During the three days of Daqing in the entire imperial capital, His Majesty even issued a decree to grant amnesty to all prisoners except for capital crimes such as capital punishment and treason.

Sima Haiyun also entered the palace to participate in the birthday banquet, but Shen Ning's official position and status were not qualified to participate in the birthday banquet, so after escorting Sima Haiyun into the palace, he planned to sit with Meng Xingchen.

After Sima Zhou's birthday was over, Shen Ning and the others had to leave the imperial capital.

Before leaving, Shen Ning had to complete his design, so that he could return to Xuzhou with peace of mind.

This time he came to the imperial capital, just to appreciate the prosperity of the imperial capital.But the next time I come, it's time to start the show.

It won’t take too long to return to Xuzhou this time.

Shen Ning is now a sixth-rank Xiaoqi Captain and Lanling Tinghou.Sima Zhou named him Tinghou, and after confirmation by the court, he was designated as Lanling Tinghou.

With Shen Ning's current official position, as long as he returns to Xuzhou and gains military exploits, he can become the master without any hindrance.

The master can be in charge of more than 1 soldiers and horses, and there are only five masters in Xuzhou.

After becoming the master, he had to kill the terminally ill Southeast King Sima Yue and push Sima Haiyun to take office. As long as Sima Haiyun became the Southeast King, Shen Ning would be able to take a step forward and start to control the entire Xuzhou Guard's soldiers and horses.

Once Xuzhou is basically under control, Shen Ning can free up his hands and return to the imperial city to lay out his plans.

According to Shen Ning's calculation, he will be able to come back within a year at most.

At that time, Shen Ning will make the already turbulent imperial capital even more exciting.

When Shen Ning was wandering around, he unexpectedly ran into Jia Xu. To be precise, Jia Xu was waiting for him.

Since the last time he bet against Jia Xu, Shen Ning has not seen him.Although he knew that Jia Xu was a top strategist and would be even more powerful if he used it for himself, but Jia Xu's character was there, so Shen Ning thought it over and decided to boil the frog in warm water.

With the 70% favorability granted by the system, coupled with the bet between the two, Shen Ning believes that as his position gets higher and higher, Jia Xu will definitely come to him.

"What a coincidence, I met sir by chance." Shen Ning walked towards Jia Xu, cupped her hands and smiled.

Jia Xu said directly: "I expected that Colonel Shen would walk around after sending Prince Southeast Prince into the palace, so I waited here."

Shen Ning nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. has something to do with me, how about talking in detail at the teahouse?"

Jia Xu nodded, and the two found a quiet teahouse and asked for a wing room.

The two sat down, and Shen Ning poured tea.

Jia Xu nodded his thanks and said: "His Majesty's birthday is over, and the eight kings and ten princes have returned one after another. This time the princes gathered in the imperial capital, it was quite peaceful. Although there were some minor conflicts, there was no bad blood after all."

"I have to thank Mr. for saving face and not starting your plan!" Shen Ning complimented.

If Jia Xu really revealed the alliance of the eight kings, then the current imperial capital would definitely not be peaceful.
