A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

King Zhao didn't seem to notice the dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone. He lifted up his sleeves and robe and sat in his seat.

Sheng Zhiyu didn't look at King Zhao carefully, but from that glance just now, he still saw that he was extremely handsome, with a blood that came from the battlefield. For a time, many nobles and daughters cast their admiring glances at him.

"Seventh brother is not young now. He has also achieved military exploits this time. It's time to start a family." The emperor said, "I wonder if there is a girl I like that I can marry."

As soon as these words came out, the rich ladies present began to tidy up their appearance calmly.

King Zhao looked indifferent: "My brother has no one I like. Now that the southwest is not stable, I have no intention of starting a family."

"You can't say that. You are twenty-five years old this year. How can a prince not marry a wife at your age?" The emperor obviously disagreed, "When I was your age, the third prince was already born.

What do you think of Princess Yihe? She was worried about you every day during the three months you were away. Not only that, she said herself that she would not marry unless you, and she has already delayed her marriage to the age of nineteen. You must be responsible for her. "

Princess Yihe is the daughter of the late King Lu. King Lu was the only prince with a different surname in the Xinghe Dynasty. He died in battle thirteen years ago, and Princess Yihe was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother.

Although she has a distinguished name, Princess Yihe is an orphan, and her only background is the aging Queen Mother. Let alone King Zhao, the wealthy families in the capital would basically not consider such a daughter-in-law.

King Zhao frowned: "Your Majesty, according to seniority, Princess Yihe is my younger brother's niece. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Yihe is a foreign surname, so it doesn't matter." The emperor was determined to promise Princess Yihe to Prince Ning, lest the future Princess Zhao be the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family and increase Prince Zhao's power in vain, "Yihe, you What do you think?"

I saw a woman wearing light green palace clothes standing over the female guests' table. She had a sweet and charming appearance and said, "Your Majesty, Yihe is willing."

Sheng Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, Ruan Lu, why is it her?

Having reached this point, King Zhao frowned and said, "My dear brother, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

"I asked someone to do some calculations. The seventh day of next month is a good day. Then you can marry Yihe!" The emperor waved his hand and made a decision. "As for the military power, let it be temporarily handed over to the mighty general, and also to the young man. It’s an opportunity for people to hone their skills.”

No matter how reluctant King Zhao was, he could only accept the order and thank him.

Sheng Zhiyu glanced at Qin Tian in the distance and thought that the emperor really wanted to win over the new rich.

Ruan Lu also saw Sheng Zhiyu, but due to the state banquet, she couldn't go to her directly, so she could only wink at her.

The banquet was going on in a seemingly harmonious, but actually weird atmosphere.

In the midst of the singing and dancing, a scream suddenly sounded: "Empress!"

Sheng Zhiyu was startled and looked in the direction of Concubine Sheng.

I saw that her gorgeous skirt was stained red with blood.

"Mr. Xuan, send the imperial concubine back to Yuhe Palace!" The emperor stood up.

Duke Li was very anxious when he saw Concubine Sheng being carried away. But he is a foreign minister and it is impossible for him to follow him to Yuhe Palace.

Sheng Zhiyu was not so evasive. Although he was worried that the emperor would take advantage of her, something happened to Concubine Sheng just now, so there was no way he could be such a beast.

Inside the red curtain, Concubine Sheng's screams never stopped.

The emperor, empress and concubines were waiting outside. Sheng Zhiyu and Ruan Lu also came with them because they were female relatives.

The atmosphere in the entire Jade Hall was extremely tense.

Ruan Lu quietly approached Sheng Zhiyu when no one was paying attention and said softly: "Why didn't you team up with me? Have you gone to find Qin Tian? You are a guy who values ​​sex over justice!"

Sheng Zhiyu was helpless: "This dungeon is very complicated. Even if we are not teammates, we can still help each other."

Ruan Lu snorted coldly: "I think you are fascinated by Qin Tian."

At this moment, a nanny came out of the inner room with her hands full of blood, and knelt down with a plop: "Back to the emperor, your concubine is now too damaged and has passed away!"

Sheng Zhiyu was confused. She originally thought that the worst outcome would be a miscarriage, but she didn't expect Concubine Sheng to die.

No matter how much she said that Concubine Sheng was her sister in name, it did not harm her.

Sheng Zhiyu suddenly felt sad.

At this moment, the system prompt light came on again.

Sheng Zhiyu's heart sank. Could this be related to King Zhao?

However, Qin Tian and Qi Heyi, as outsiders, were not allowed to enter the palace, so now she had to rely on herself.

"what on earth is it?"

The emperor's voice had a hint of anger, "Queen, you have always been responsible for this state banquet. Now that Mei'er and the children are gone, how do you ask me to explain it to the Duke of Li State! Or do you want the imperial concubine to be killed in two pieces?" Life!"

The emperor's words were heartbreaking, and the queen was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Everything is my fault, but how could I want to harm Concubine Sheng? When her child is born, she will call me my aunt, then." He is also my concubine’s child!”

Sheng Zhiyu looked at the queen coldly. If she was really responsible for organizing the banquet, then she was the most suspicious.

But she didn't think the queen would be stupid enough to do something blatantly at the banquet.

"Mr. Xuan, call Dr. Song to me!" The emperor looked gloomy.

Song Qiran arrived soon. He glanced at Sheng Zhiyu and Ruan Lu, and calmly changed his gaze: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, go and see if there is anything abnormal in the imperial concubine's immortal body." The emperor rubbed his brows tiredly.

Song Qiran didn't waste any time and walked into the inner room.

After a while, he walked out and said: "The imperial concubine has drugs in her body that can cause miscarriage, and they have accumulated for a long time, which will cause damage to the mother's body.

For the sake of caution, Your Majesty, please allow me to inspect the food that your concubine has used today. "

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the eunuchs brought over the tables, chairs and dishes used by Concubine Sheng at the dinner.

Song Qiran checked it carefully and said: "There is nothing wrong with the food, but the tableware used by the imperial concubine has been soaked in Guiwei, peach kernels, and elm bark. These are all things that can cause miscarriage in pregnant women."

"Come here, bring me all the servants in charge of meals!" the emperor said angrily.

After a while, several eunuchs and maids were brought up.

"Raise your head and let me see who has the courage to murder the emperor's heir!" The queen was implicated in this matter, and she was furious at the moment. She no longer looked like the gentle and virtuous person she used to be.

Several people raised their heads tremblingly.

"Whose palace are these people in? Does anyone know them?" The queen's majestic gaze glanced at a group of concubines.

"Back to the empress, one person is from Concubine Shen Shu's palace, one is from Concubine Li's palace, two are from Xu Zhaoyi's palace, and one is from Qin Jieyu's palace."

The head eunuch is quite familiar with the identities of these people.

"The person responsible for serving the food for the imperial concubine is Xiaolan, who is from Concubine Shen Shu's palace."
