Chapter Twenty-Three: Fate
After seeing Sheng Zhiyao leaving, the queen said to the emperor: "It seems that the old marquis has taught him very well in the past few years. ”
"It's really good, but it's really smart, just now her tea was poisoned in the side hall, but she didn't mention it to us."
"Poisoned?" The queen's whole body trembled when she heard these two words, she never thought that someone would dare to poison her palace, and then she showed a trace of doubt: "Who did it?" ”
The emperor also frowned suspiciously: "The guards just took away the palace maid who served tea, not her." ”
The queen was a little anxious: "Who could that be?" ”
"No matter who it is, his poisonous song is so useful, if you drink tea from afar, it will not only poison her, but also frame you."
"Indeed, in this way, the old marquis and His Majesty will also form a bond."
The emperor thought for a moment and said coldly: "Since Zhiyuan is still alive, then he will definitely continue to attack." ”
"What about the distance?"
The emperor's face changed and he smiled and comforted: "The queen doesn't have to worry, the distance is far more clever than we seem." After speaking, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Sheng Zhiyao had already walked out of the palace gate, and all the way she was thinking about who wanted to poison her, she had just returned to the capital, and she had not formed a bond with anyone, how could this person be bold enough to do it in the queen's palace, either this person was stupid or this person could walk sideways in the palace.
"Miss, the old marquis told me to wait for you here." Mei'er saw her master come out and hurriedly greeted her.
"Hmm." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Mei'er, have you seen anyone coming in and out here?" ”
Mei'er shook her head: "The slave came from time to time, and I didn't see anyone coming in or out until you came out." ”
Sheng Zhiyao heard Mei'er's words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Let's go, go home." ”
When Sheng Zhiyao returned to Sheng Zhiyao's mansion, the old marquis was already standing at the door of the mansion waiting for her, he saw Sheng Zhiyao coming back, and his heart finally settled down, he looked Sheng Zhiyao up and down to confirm that he was not injured before saying, "Go in." ”
"Grandpa." Looking at the old marquis who was full of concern, recalling that every time she got out of school in the past, her grandfather would stand at the door of the house and wait for her to come home, and suddenly Sheng Zhiyao's heart warmed.
"Let's go."
The old marquis did not let her go back to his courtyard but walked to his Qingliu courtyard, Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hangu had been waiting for a long time: "My sister is back." ”
Sheng Zhiyao was a little strange, how could the two elder brothers be in the grandfather's courtyard at this time, so he asked, "Are the brothers looking for me?" ”
Sheng Hanmo was a little hesitant when he heard this, but Sheng Hangu said directly: "Sister, someone in the palace poisoned your teacup today, right?" ”
Sheng Zhiyao was very surprised, but she didn't expect everyone in the family to know about it: "Grandpa, you also know?" ”
Old Marquis Sheng nodded.
Sheng Zhiyao said with an indifferent look: "Actually, I don't have anything to lose, I just took a sip, I guess that person should be very surprised to know that I walked out of the palace and returned home without any problems." ”
Sheng Hangu couldn't believe it, not only did she not mention it to His Majesty the Emperor without mentioning such a big matter, but she also looked indifferent: "Sister is really nothing?" ”
"It's really fine." Sheng Zhiyao stood up and ran to the two elder brothers, and also took a turn.
Sheng Han couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Grandpa, what do you think?" ”
"This poison can't hurt your sister." The old marquis looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a face full of relief.
Sheng Zhiyao scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa, you know, this little poison is useless to me, I smelled it when I picked up the teacup, so I'm not stupid." ”
Sheng Hangu was a little puzzled when he heard her words: "Sister, you have made it clear, why is it useless to you?" ”
"There's nothing to say, it's just that your sister has studied medicine with me since she was a child, and now she has been passed on by me, and she can become an excellent doctor in time." Old Marquis Sheng directly thought of a perfect reason for her and explained.
"No wonder, Sister Sichuan Xiangyuan was able to save everyone that day." Sheng Hanmo heard the old marquis's explanation and suddenly realized, it seems that this sister is indeed not simple.
"I didn't say why this poison didn't work for my sister for a long time." Sheng Hangu didn't understand their conversation at all, is there any connection between studying medicine and poisoning?
Seeing his younger brother like this, Sheng Hanmo could only explain to him in detail: "It is medicine that is poisonous, a doctor can save people or kill people, and poison and medicine are not separated." ”
"I see, I wish I had said no." Sheng Hangu finally understood when he heard his brother's explanation.
"Tell you to study hard, and you only know how to be idle all day long." Old Marquis Sheng glared at him with a look of hatred for iron but not steel.
Sheng Hangu was reprimanded by his grandfather, and immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
"Okay, you two go back to the house first, and I'll talk to Zhiyao." The old marquis said to the two brothers.
Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hangu glanced at each other and then left together, and after they left, the old marquis looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "Your Majesty already knows what happened in the palace today, what are your plans?" ”
She didn't expect that the emperor's grandfather already knew about it, and sent someone to tell her grandfather.
"I don't know who it is, I've only just returned to Beijing, and I haven't offended anyone, and I don't know why they killed me."
The old marquis sighed when he heard Sheng Zhiyao's words: "This is fate." ”
"What do you mean?" Sheng Zhiyao was a little incomprehensible.
"You were prophesied as a goddess by the Heavenly Master before you were born, Your Majesty specially named you the lord of Yongchen, and let you appoint your husband in the future, and promised that you will be the future queen, do you know what this means?" The old marquis looked at Sheng Zhiyao and continued: "It means that your whole body is extraordinary, and your future husband will be the future emperor of the Shang Zhou Dynasty." ”
Sheng Zhiyao was also a little shocked after listening to the words of the old marquis, she always thought that she was just a related household to become the county lord, it turned out that she was recognized as a goddess by the heavenly master.
This heavenly master is really powerful, although she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, but she is indeed a person who is different from this dynasty, and the emperor's holy decree means that as long as she is not married, there will be many princes and grandsons who want to marry her, if she is interested in someone or married, then there will be many people who want to kill her.
Doesn't that push her to the cusp of the beacon wave? originally wanted to live peacefully with her grandfather in this life, so that she was destined not to be peaceful in this life.
Seeing Sheng Zhiyao's silence, the old marquis knew what she was thinking: "Zhiyao, this is fate, maybe if you don't do anything, there will be many people who want to harm you, which is why grandpa took you out of the capital when you were born." ”
Hearing her grandfather's words, Sheng Zhiyao sighed with emotion in her heart, this is the so-called fate to make people.
Her rebirth this time was not to escape those destined disasters, but she didn't expect her to be involved in another disaster, but this time she needed to rely on herself for life and death.
"Grandpa, I see." Sheng Zhiyao took a deep breath, she knew that she couldn't dodge, she had to become strong as soon as possible.
"You have to remember that the era we live in now is the only way we can survive, so you have to protect your life no matter what, you know?" The old marquis said earnestly.
