Chapter 148: The Emperor's Quest (Part 1)

Faced with Sima Qing's inquiry, Princess Changle didn't know her true intentions, so she replied: "Just eighteen years old, a few years younger than me, auntie, do you think he will dislike me for being old?" Am I going to get old and decrepit? ”

At this moment, Princess Changle suddenly became worried about her appearance and became sentimental.

"Eighteen!"

Sima Qing muttered to herself.

His child, not long after his birthday, was also eighteen years old.

His name is Shen Ning, eighteen years old, he knows Xu Qixing, and he has a relationship with Li Yuanxiao, all kinds of relationships are intertwined, so Sima Qing can't help but guess: When Xu Qixing rescued the child, he went to find Li Yuanxiao, and then dressed up as a child of the Shen family in Youzhou, so that he could hide his identity.

That's right, it must be like this!

Your own revenge can finally be avenged!

At this moment, Sima Qing believed in her speculation, she was excited, her plan had been buried for more than ten years, and she finally broke through the ground and was able to take revenge!

Although she prayed to the Buddha and prayed for blessings, she never gave up on revenge, she would not let the martyr of the Shen family die in vain, she would not let her husband die tragically, he let the enemy who wanted to participate in the design pay all the blood debts.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Changle looked at her in a daze and hurriedly asked.

Sima Qing came back to her senses and said with a smile: "After reading the letter, I recalled the events of the year, and the effort of the year was to give birth to a talented man who was both civil and military for the Great Jin, which is really unexpected." ”

Changle didn't doubt it at all, and nodded obediently again and again.

Sima Qing said again: "You sit down first, don't be rude when you visit, I'll go back to the letter, and you help my aunt bring it back." ”

"Good!" Changle responded.

Sima Qing left the main hall and went to the study to write a letter.

A quarter of an hour later, Sima Qing returned and handed the envelope to Changle.

Next, Changle chatted with Sima Qing for a long time before she left.

Sima Qing stood in the courtyard, looking at the deserted environment, she let out a long breath of turbidity, and muttered to herself: "My child, are you okay?" The time has come, it's time for your mother to avenge your father..."

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Sima Qing's heart became more and more firm.

When Changle left the palace, he asked people to invite Shen Ning.

Shen Ning heard the summons, hurried to meet him, and got the letter.

opened the letter in front of Princess Changle, the book was written by Juanxiu, Sima Qing spoke calmly, praised Shen Ning, and there was no problem on 3.

But Shen Ning was very excited, because he knew that his mother had seen the code words he had left.

However, Sima Qing did not leave a code message for Shen Ning, he split the content of the letter left and right, and tried all the ways to hide the code words, but there was no one.

When Shen Ning was a little disappointed, suddenly, he smelled the sour smell of the paper, and the taste was extremely light.

"I see!" Shen Ning immediately understood what the code words left by his mother were, but now was not the time to verify, Shen Ning accompanied Changle to talk, and did not show his excitement.

Just when Shen Ning was about to say goodbye and leave, he didn't expect Xu Chongzhi to come.

And Xu Chongzhi's purpose in coming was very simple, to give Shen Ning a task to investigate the content of the secret conversation of the Eight Kings a few days ago.

"Shen Gongzi, this is the important task entrusted to you by His Majesty, if you do it well and beautifully, Your Majesty will be happy, and you will definitely reward Shen Gongzi. And with the princess's respect for Shen Gongzi, she will definitely be able to soar in the future, and it is unlimited! The little Xuzhou will only restrain the son. Xu Chongzhi said with a smile.

Shen Ning didn't expect the emperor to test him with this trick, he immediately thanked Dai Ze, took over the task, and when he sent Xu Chongzhi away, Shen Ning didn't forget to say: "Father-in-law Xu, this is the villain's bill stored in the Xunjia Commercial Bank in the imperial capital, and there are 50,000 taels of silver in it. ”

No one will think that there is little silver, Xu Chongzhi is the same, he also has his own family, and the 50,000 taels of silver are almost all of Shen Ning's belongings.

Shen Ning knows the importance of wooing Xu Chongzhi.

Xu Chongzhi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Shen Ning to be so generous in his filial piety, and his righteous sons didn't have this filial piety.

Willing to give, it shows that the affection is deep.

"Shen Gongzi, our family can't accept it." Xu Chong politely refused.

Shen Ning said seriously: "The villain admires Father-in-law Xu, Father-in-law is the guiding light of my life, is my mentor, this tuition fee is very small, but it is all my savings, please forgive my father-in-law!" Please be sure to accept it by your father-in-law, and usually use it as tea! ”

After speaking, Shen Ning handed over the bill with both hands and couldn't afford it.

Xu Chongzhi laughed, and became more and more optimistic about Shen Ning in his heart.

"Then you're welcome. When you find out the secret of the conversation between the eight kings, our family will make a message to Your Majesty, and let you personally enter the palace to report to the saint, and we will be our own people in the future. Although Xu Chongzhi is a traitor, he knows the truth of doing things with money, and this is a gesture for him.

Shen Ning thanked him and sent Xu Chongzhi away.

Then, Shen Ning went to the Drunken Immortal Tower and met Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu.

"Did the princess reply?" Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu were excited.

Shen Ning nodded and took out the letter.

After the two of them read it, He Xuanwu wondered: "The letter didn't say anything!" ”

Meng Xingchen was smart, and he also smelled the smell of ink on the letter, as well as a faint sourness. At this time, Shen Ning had already brought the candle.

Shen Ning took the letter paper and baked it lightly on the candle, and after a few moments, the blank space of the paper revealed the handwriting.

"When you write on paper with vinegar, when it dries, the handwriting disappears, so you smell the sour smell of vinegar. Bake it above the flame, and the handwriting will be brown. Shen Ning explained.

It's a chemical reaction, not some magic.

The handwriting was revealed, and the three of them hurriedly watched:

"See you at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

A few words of flirting made the three of them happy.

"Second uncle, third uncle, you can go with me tomorrow." Shen Ning said excitedly.

Meng Xingchen nodded and said, "Okay!" But the princess can't get out of the palace, in my opinion, the princess is sending her henchmen out of the palace. ”

"It's okay, one day, I'll be able to see my mother!" The smile on Shen Ning's face couldn't stop, he found his loved ones, and that kind of joy was something Shen Ning had never felt.

Next, Shen Ning told the task assigned by Emperor Sima Zhou.

"This time, with the help of Princess Changle, I have opened up the relationship, and I must make Sima Zhou impressed with me, so as to reuse me. But I finally persuaded Jia Xu to cover up the alliance of the Eight Kings, how should I deal with Sima Zhou's task? Is it telling the truth, but telling a lie? Shen Ning said the worries in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Let's be honest, once Sima Zhou knew that the Eight Kings were completely allied, he would inevitably make a move.

But if he didn't tell the truth, Shen Ning was afraid that he would be exposed in the future.

After thinking about it, Meng Xingchen said: "I still can't tell the truth, the eight kings also know that the alliance is a secret, and once the emperor knows, it will inevitably add fuel to the fire, so in the past few days, you will find that the seven princes have begun to act among themselves, and they have begun to create contradictions, just to deceive the emperor." So you can only tell lies, but this lie has to have weight, now the alliance of the eight kings is like glue, maybe in a few months the alliance process will change, someone will secretly tell the emperor about the alliance, these things are possible. ”

The alliance of the eight kings presided over by Sima Liang is not as simple as the support of one party and the eight parties, they signed a covenant, including business, mutual assistance and mutual benefit, etc., of course, this is Jia Xu's idea, in order to make the alliance of the eight kings look clear and form a scale, so that the emperor Sima Zhou will be deeply afraid of having to do it after he knows it.

"How to reply, and then think of a foolproof plan." Meng Xingchen doesn't have a good idea for the time being.

Shen Ning nodded, there was still time to operate in this matter.

The next day, according to the agreed time, Shen Ning, Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu came to Yunweaving Pavilion, this is a cloth village, the scale is very large, it is said to undertake the business of paying tribute to the palace cloth, and it is one of the largest cloth villages in the imperial capital.

After the three of them arrived on time, they were invited in by the shopkeeper of the cloth village and came to the back house.

Here, the three of them met an old palace maid.

"Dare to ask, but Shen Ning's son?" The old palace maid asked respectfully.

Shen Ning nodded and said, "It's me!" ”

The old palace maid immediately knelt down and bowed: "Palace maid Yunzhi, meet the young master!" ”

Because of the excitement, she was already in tears.

Shen Ning hurriedly helped her up and said, "Get up and talk about it!" ”

Yun Zhi Lao burst into tears, and after looking Shen Ning up and down, he sighed with emotion: "General Shen has a spirit in the sky, and he can also be relieved to see the young master so outstanding." If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could come to see the young master in person, she would definitely cry with joy. ”

Shen Ning hurriedly asked, "Aunt Yunzhi, you should have followed my mother for many years, is my mother in good health?" ”

Yun Zhi nodded and said, "I have taken care of the eldest princess since I was a child, and when the princess married General Shen, I also went to the Shen family. After the Shen family suffered, the eldest princess washed her face with tears, almost crying blind, if it wasn't for the young master, she would have to avenge the Shen family, the eldest princess would have followed General Shen a long time ago. Now that the young master is back, the eldest princess didn't sleep all night last night, and ordered the slave to come out early in the morning and wait here. Please also rest assured that the eldest princess's body is very tough. ”

"That's good!" Shen Ning put his mind at ease and asked again, "I don't know if my mother has anything to explain?" ”

Yun Zhi replied: "The eldest princess asked me to tell the young master that she was ready to admit her mistake to Your Majesty, and before the news came from Pengcheng that the widow of the Shen family was dead, the eldest princess wanted to take this as an opportunity to beg Her Majesty to leave the palace." As long as the eldest princess leaves the palace, the young master will be able to see the princess. ”

"Great! With my mother here, I have a backbone. Shen Ning said happily.

Yun Zhi said again: "The eldest princess also said that this matter will not take long, and Your Majesty should be able to do it before his birthday, so that the young master should not be anxious and wait and see what happens." ”

Shen Ning nodded and replied, "In a few days, I may enter the palace to face the saint, you tell my mother, if there is a chance, maybe I can meet him." ”

Although he knew that his mother would not be out of the palace for too long, Shen Ning still couldn't help but want to see him earlier.

Shen Ning had never seen his mother in his previous life, and although he was a time-traveler in this life, his life from childhood to adulthood was vividly remembered under the fusion of memories.

Although Aunt Hong Mian is meticulous to Shen Ning, she is not a mother after all.

Once upon a time, Shen Ning felt that the word mother was too far away from him, and he couldn't call it in his life, but he didn't expect God to take pity on him, protect his mother, and let Shen Ning, who was a man for two lives, finally have a mother.

Mother!

Although it is only a salutation, some people hide it in their chests and never shout it.

"The slave and maid understand, and when the time is agreed, the slave and maid will tell the eldest princess." Yun Zhi's eyes were red again, and she felt Shen Ning's longing.
