Shen Ning did not refuse Princess Changle's proposal, he really couldn't go in and out of the princess's mansion often, once the bad reputation spread, saying that he was raised by Princess Changle and was a minister of the staff, then Shen Ning's accumulated Confucian reputation would become stinky, and he would also have a bad relationship with the Yang family.

Next, Shen Ning went to the treasure house of the princess's mansion to select a porcelain bottle, and secretly put the missing pill of the five-flavor golden pill into the bottle. When the time came, Princess Changle rewarded the porcelain vase to Yang Jian, and the Danfang naturally entered the Yang family.

Same side.

When Emperor Sima Zhou came back from Concubine Yan, his expression looked strange, like a drunken state, the whole person was addicted to a drunken state, and his body was slightly stiff, with some excitement.

Zhao Qingxuan didn't dare to ask, but she studied alchemy during this time and understood some pharmacology, and His Majesty's state was very similar to what kind of medicine she had taken.

Seeing His Majesty enjoying it so much, it is no wonder that he has to go to Concubine Yan every day, this is Concubine Yan's counterattack against Zhao Qingxuan's favor, and Concubine Yan also played with the pill.

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

Zhao Qingxuan came back to his senses and said the prepared words: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine asked Shen Ning, when Shen Ning got the Dan Fang, he was missing that one, and he didn't have the courage to hide it privately, so the lack of the Dan Fang has nothing to do with him." ”

"How's that good? Isn't it worthy of the five-flavor golden pill? Sima was shocked that immortality was the top priority, and it was the thing he was most concerned about.

Zhao Qingxuan said again: "The missing one is the proportion of materials, which is very important, if you don't have it, it will be difficult to refine the five-flavor golden pill." But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, just find the missing one. ”

"By the way, did Shen Ning say where did you get the Danfang? Where to get it, where to look for it, you should be able to find it! Sima Zhou said with a smile.

And then, it's time for the main event.

When Sima Zhou learned that the Danfang was packed in a jade box, and the jade box was presented by Yang Jian to Princess Changle, and Princess Changle gave it to Shen Ning, Sima Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"So, this Danfang was first in the Yang family?" Sima Zhou asked.

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

"How can it be!" Sima Zhou said angrily.

Such an important Danfang was actually sent back and forth, and finally delivered to the hands of the king of a country, and he simply didn't take his attention seriously!

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

Zhao Qingxuan wanted to say that it was Sima Yin, the king of Qi, which made His Majesty furious, but she held back, according to his and Shen Ning's plan, now is not the time.

She replied, "The slave doesn't know! Come to think of it, the jade box was also given to the Yang family by others, and it was presented to Princess Changle by Yang Jian. ”

"Summoning Yang Jian, I need a complete Dan Fang!" Sima Zhou said angrily.

Zhao Qingxuan said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is courageous, and I feel that this matter must be treated carefully." ”

"Oh? Why? Tell me about it! Sima Zhou hurriedly asked.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the inner room, and Xu Chongzhi also went to the celebrant supervisor, so Zhao Qingxuan dared to continue: "Your Majesty, the Five Flavors Golden Pill is related to the Immortal Avenue, why is the most important one missing?" was also given to Princess Changle in a jade box by the horse master? As we all know, Master Ma is upright and doesn't know how to lie, so the concubine thinks that he doesn't know the whereabouts of the missing Danfang. ”

In fact, the implication of Zhao Qingxuan's words is that the most important one was deliberately torn off, but he didn't want to give it to His Majesty, even if His Majesty questioned Yang Jian, Yang Jian didn't know.

Sima Zhou was not stupid, and immediately understood what Zhao Qingxuan meant: "You're right, someone is using this five-flavor golden pill to play a conspiracy!" As for whether it is aimed at Yang Jian or me, it is difficult to say. Since asking Yang Jian is fruitless, how to find the missing content? ”

"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 he can use the Earth Tiger Guard to win over the henchmen or subordinates in the Yang Mansion, and let these people check carefully, whether they can find the content of the missing Danfang, and at the same time investigate the cause of the whole thing." For example, where did the jade box containing the Danfang come from? ”

"That'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 of letting Shen Ning handle it?" He served in the Earth Tiger Guard, and when he first arrived in the capital, he did not have such a complicated relationship, and he was not easy to be suspected by outsiders. ”

"The concubines didn't dare to discuss." Zhao Qingxuan did not answer.

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

And just like that, the first step of the plan was completed.

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

"Father, I knew that the jade box was a five-flavor golden pill, so my son directly dedicated it to my father!" Princess Changle said apologetically.

Sima Zhou smiled: "It's okay, you reward Shen Ning, Shen Ning borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to me, and I am also happy." By the way, where did Yang Jian get the jade box? ”

"Erchen doesn't know." Princess Changle shook her head.

At this moment, the eldest princess of Yiyang said: "I remember, it seems that King Qi got the Danfang of the Five Flavors Golden Pill back then, how could it fall into the hands of the Yang family?" ”

When Sima Qing said this, it was naturally Shen Ning's arrangement. As for King Qi getting the Five Flavors Golden Pill, it was pure slander, and Sima Zhou couldn't find out that Sima Qing was lying.

Hearing his sister's words, Sima Zhou's smile froze.

If the five-flavor golden pill is in the hands of King Qi, then how it fell into the hands of the Yang family is naturally a gift from King Qi. So, King Qi and the Yang family have been secretly friends for a long time?

Seeing the emperor's expression, Zhao Qingxuan on the side glanced at Sima Qing deeply.

Zhao Qingxuan was very curious, how did Shen Ning win over Princess Changle and Princess Yiyang? Under the pretense of the two of them, saying that King Qi and the Yang family were implicated, Shen Ning and himself could stay out of the matter and be safe.

With His Majesty's narrow mind and suspicious character, coupled with the fact that he has long been disgusted with the Yang family, this time, the Yang family's collusion with King Qi will draw a gap in His Majesty's heart.

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

As for whether Sima Zhou will suspect Sima Qing of deceiving himself, if he doubts, he will suspect it, Shen Ning and Sima Qing have eaten his character, especially when it comes to the prince King Qi, Sima Zhou will have an attitude that he would rather believe it than not believe it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Royal sister, are you still used to going out to live these 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 godsister, can Your Majesty agree?" ”

Sima Zhou was stunned, and Zhao Qingxuan was also shocked, and then understood that this was Shen Ning's help, since the two had cooperated, Shen Ning wanted to find her a backer.

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

Sima Zhou naturally knew that when the Shen family had no accident, Sima Qing had made friends with a righteous sister, and at that time Sima Zhou still coveted the beauty of the other party, but unfortunately with the Shen family's beheading, they all died in the turmoil.

Now in the face of his sister's request, Sima Zhou naturally did not object, so he asked Zhao Qingxuan: "Dao Xuan, are you willing?" ”

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

Although the eldest princess of Yiyang does not have any power, her status and seniority are there, plus Princess Changle, Zhao Qingxuan's position in the harem can be regarded as stable. When other favorite concubines find out, they will also have concerns.

......

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

On the third day of the celebration of the entire imperial capital, His Majesty made a decree that all other prisoners would be amnesty, except for the death penalty and rebellion.

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 was ready to go to Meng Xingchen to sit there.

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

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

This time he came to the imperial capital, just to enjoy the prosperity of the imperial capital. But next time, it's time to start performing.

It won't be too long to go back to Xuzhou this time.

Shen Ning is now a six-rank Xiao cavalry captain, and he is still the marquis of Lanling Pavilion. Sima Zhou sealed him as the Pavilion Marquis, and after confirmation by the imperial court, he was determined to be the Pavilion Marquis of Lanling.

With Shen Ning's current official position, as long as he returns to Xuzhou and obtains military merits, he can become the master of the division unimpeded.

The master of the division can be in charge of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only five masters in the entire Xuzhou.

And after becoming the master of the division, he had to kill the terminally ill king of the southeast, Sima Yue, and push Sima Haiyun to take office, as long as Sima Haiyun became the king of the southeast, then Shen Ning would be able to go one step further and begin to master the soldiers and horses of the entire Xuzhou Guard.

When Xuzhou is basically in control, Shen Ning can free up his hands and return to the layout of the imperial city.

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

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

......

When Shen Ning was wandering around, he actually ran into Jia Xu, to be exact, Jia Xu was waiting for him.

Shen Ning hadn't seen him since he gambled with Jia Xu last time. Although he knew that Jia Xu was a top strategist, and if he used it for himself, he would definitely be able to add wings to the tiger, but Jia Xu's character was there, so Shen Ning thought about it and decided to boil the frog in warm water.

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

"What a coincidence, I actually met Mr. by chance." Shen Ning walked towards Jia Xu and said with a smile.

Jia Xu said directly: "I expected that after Captain Shen sent the prince of the southeast into the palace, he would walk around, so I waited here." ”

Shen Ning nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. has something to do with me, why don't you talk to the teahouse in detail?" ”

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

The two sat down, and Shen Ning poured tea.

Jia Xu nodded in thanks, and said, "Your Majesty's birthday is over, and the eight kings and ten princes should also return one after another." This time, the princes gathered in the imperial capital, which was quite peaceful, although there were some small contradictions, after all, they did not tear their faces. ”

"This is thanks to Mr. for giving face, not starting your plan!" Shen Ning complimented.

If Jia Xuzhen poked out the alliance of the eight kings, then the current imperial capital would definitely not be peaceful.
