A scholar’s path to becoming a god
Chapter 238 Torture to extract confessions
Mrs. Chen didn't know the relationship between Qin Tian and Sheng Zhiyu, so she was a little surprised. However, seeing how talented and young Qin Tian was, he immediately felt that he was a good match for his daughter.
Duke Li was also very satisfied with this. Qin Tian rescued Sheng Zhiyu tonight, and it was more legitimate to ask for the marriage.
The night is already very deep.
The day passed thrillingly, and Sheng Zhiyu quickly fell asleep.
The next day, the imperial edict arrived at Duke Li's mansion early in the morning.
As expected, the emperor compensated the Duke of Li for the death of Concubine Sheng.
Sheng Zhiyu was directly named Princess Qixia and married to the mighty general Qin Tian. The marriage was to be completed early next month.
In addition, the emperor also allowed Sheng Xin'er, the concubine of Duke Li, who had just turned nineteen this year, to enter the palace and directly named her a talented person.
Sheng Zhiyu felt very sweet knowing that Qin Tian had gone to ask for the imperial edict early in the morning.
"Miss, Madam asked you to go to the front hall to pick out clothes." Ziyuan came in excitedly.
"Why do you suddenly have to choose clothes?" Sheng Zhiyu asked strangely.
"Hey miss, it's Chinese Valentine's Day in a few days, and all the ladies are not dressed up beautifully. Even if the lady is getting married, she still has to dress up."
Ziyuan said,
"But you don't need to dress up, you can be stunning in the capital. I didn't even notice how beautiful the lady is before. You must be the most beautiful girl in the capital."
"Stop talking so much." Sheng Zhiyu felt helpless.
But since Chen invited her, she would definitely go and have a look.
In the front hall, various brocades have been placed on the shelves, and they are full of light, as if the sunset from the sky has fallen into the courtyard.
"Yu'er, come and pick out the satin. Once it's done, it can be sent to be made into ready-made clothes." Mrs. Chen waved to Sheng Zhiyu.
There are also three girls in the hall, all of them are the concubines of Duke Li, namely Sheng Rui'er, Sheng Rou'er and Sheng Ling'er.
Among the three, Sheng Ling'er is the most delicate. She is Sheng Xin'er's biological sister. Because Sheng Xin'er was promoted to a noble concubine immediately after accepting the favor, she became particularly pampered.
Seeing Sheng Zhiyu arriving, Sheng Linger's tone couldn't help but be sour:
"Sister Yu'er is here, hurry up and choose. However, Concubine Sheng has just passed away. As a direct relative, you should choose these plainer materials. After all, you can't wear these bright colors."
Chen's expression changed and he was about to get angry.
Sheng Zhiyu gave her a comforting look and looked at Sheng Ling'er with a smile: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Concubine Sheng is also your sister-in-law, so it's better for you to be clean.
My sister should learn more from the noble concubine. You see the noble concubine mourning the imperial concubine all the time in the palace. Your Majesty always takes special care of her because of her deep love for the imperial concubine and her sisters.
Your Majesty was promoted to the rank of a noble concubine so quickly, which shows that he has a deep love for the imperial concubine.
If my sister is caught wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, it would not be nice to use this matter against Sheng Guifei and accuse her of being hypocritical.
It would be fine if it was just ordinary hypocrisy, but this person is His Majesty. Tell me, isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor? "
Sheng Linger was choked by Sheng Zhiyu and her face turned red and white, but she was clumsy and speechless.
Sheng Rui'er and Sheng Rou'er couldn't stand the way her villain gained power, and the corners of their mouths curved into a mocking arc.
Sheng Rui'er smiled and said, "Don't blame me, sister Yu'er. Sister Ling is in high spirits during happy events. I heard that the third aunt is discussing with her father to point her to King Zhao as a concubine!"
Sheng Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, becoming a concubine for King Zhao? This is unlikely.
Having said this, Sheng Ling'er became proud again: "Yesterday, King Zhao reported to the Emperor that he had admired his father for a long time and wanted to marry the daughter of the Duke of Li.
It seems that this marriage should have been decided by Sister Yu'er first. If you were to marry her, it should be Princess Zhao. But who made you betrothed to the mighty general? My sister agreed! "
Sheng Zhiyu raised his eyebrows without comment.
However, Duke Li of the State of Li disagreed and said something else, so Sheng Zhiyu ignored Sheng Ling'er and randomly picked out a water-colored brocade, a moon-white brocade and a lake-green brocade.
The weather is hotter, so these materials look lighter and lighter in color.
Sheng Zhiyu walked out of the hall and bumped into a young man within a few steps.
"How are you walking? Can you collide with my young lady?" Ziyuan said angrily.
The young man said disdainfully: "My cousin is a noble concubine..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head and saw Sheng Zhiyu's face clearly, and immediately changed his face: "Are you... Yu'er's cousin? You are so beautiful."
"My princess doesn't have a cousin like you. According to the royal family genealogy, my princess's cousin is a member of the royal family." Seeing his wretched look, Sheng Zhiyu sneered, "Do you want to pretend to be a royal nobleman? How brave! "
Maybe Sheng Zhiyu's aura was too strong, which scared the man and took a step back.
"Ah, Cousin Lou, why are you here?" Sheng Linger's voice came from behind.
Sheng Zhiyu squinted his eyes. It turned out that this man was the second aunt's maternal nephew.
"You brothers and sisters, let's talk. I won't interrupt." Sheng Zhiyu was too lazy to listen to their conversation.
"Princess, what are you talking about? It's our honor to be able to talk to you. Where are you going, princess?" Zhang Yulou said with a smile.
Sheng Ling'er was a little unhappy when she saw this: "Cousin, shouldn't you come to me and care what she does?"
Sheng Zhiyu felt that Sheng Ling'er's attitude towards Zhang Yulou seemed a bit intriguing.
Zhang Yulou chuckled, a little embarrassed: "Ling'er, I came with my mother this time. I heard that you are going to marry into Prince Zhao's Mansion, so congratulations in advance."
"Humph, thank you very much, cousin." Sheng Linger was so angry that she stomped her feet and walked away.
Seeing that Sheng Ling'er was gone, Zhang Yulou was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Princess, are you going out? It's not safe for girls. Otherwise, I will go with you."
"No, I made an appointment with someone else." Sheng Zhiyu left without looking back.
This Zhang Yulou looks like a pretty good-looking man based on his appearance, but he always gives off an aura of vulgarity.
It's better to stay away from such people.
Arriving at Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Sheng Zhiyu saw Qin Tian already waiting there.
The water prison of Jingzhao Yin Mansion was built underground and was specially used to detain important criminals.
The emperor has decreed that the assassin who assassinated her last night will be imprisoned in a water prison.
"General Qin, Miss Sheng." The interrogating officer saw Song Yuli and I coming down and said respectfully, "We have been tried and have nothing to do with the Shangshu Mansion, but they refused to reveal who sent them here."
"Not Shangshu Mansion?" Sheng Zhiyu frowned.
Since she came here, she has not offended other forces.
Sheng Zhiyu looked at the prison. It was indeed a water prison worthy of the name. The ground sank about one meter and was filled with sewage.
The three assassins who were caught were soaking in the water, their wrists were nailed to wooden stakes, and their blood flowed along the wooden stakes into the sewage, which looked shocking.
But she has participated in so many games, and she is used to this kind of scene.
There are more disgusting scenes left and right.
