Xiao Junhe did not go to Shen Ning's place that night, but went to Sima Ling's place.

Huo Sinian didn't say anything, but Liu Wanying was angry.

The Sima family is just a subsidiary family of the Liu family, and now they are dedicated to currying favor with the emperor.

She looked at this Sima Ling because she was very ambitious, and she was planning to climb on top of her?

Sima Ling dared to beat her that day!

Gritting her teeth, Liu Wanying asked people to send a message out, she wanted to tell her father that the Sima family was at risk of rebellion, and Sima Ling was obviously already with the emperor.

……

Although Liu Zhensheng is powerful, he has done too much evil, and he is extremely sensitive and suspicious.

He was always worried that he would be stabbed by his descendants, so he ...... Seeking skin with a tiger is destined to be bitten by a tiger.

The Sima family is obviously going to be unlucky.

However, Sima Ling doesn't care about this, she only cares about herself.

Sima Ling's residence.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Sima Ling spoke softly.

Xiao Junhe glanced at the scroll in his hand and spoke in a deep voice. "I still have something to deal with, so you go to sleep first."

Sima Ling nodded and went to sleep very obediently.

Whether the emperor cares about her or not, whether he uses her, she doesn't care.

Whether the Sima family will be implicated by her, she doesn't care.

She only cares about herself.

When Sima Ling fell asleep, Xiao Junhe put down the scroll and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, you can trust your concubines." Sima Ling turned her back to Xiao Junhe and whispered.

Xiao Junhe frowned, he thought Sima Ling was already asleep.

"Your Majesty can do whatever you want Ling'er to cooperate, but Li'er only asks for one thing." Sima Ling turned his back to Xiao Junhe and spoke again. "Wait for Your Majesty to regain real power, let Ling'er out of the palace, give her identity, and prove her innocence, okay?"

Sima Lian is a smart person, she naturally knows that the emperor's heart is not in her, and it is impossible to be in her.

Don't count the feelings.

What's more, her original mind was not in this deep palace, but because she was a concubine, her status in the family was too low, and her mother was in the hands of the Sima family, so she couldn't help herself.

Xiao Junhe narrowed his eyes, this is a smart woman.

Sure enough, Shen Ning looks at people well.

"You think I should believe you?" Xiao Junhe spoke in a deep voice.

Sima Ling got up and whispered. "Nature."

Without the exchange of benefits and values, how could the emperor believe her.

"The Sima family has a fatal handle, and it is also the fatal handle of the Liu family, but it depends on whether His Majesty has the ability to catch it." Sima Ling got out of bed and walked to the table. "The Sima family is responsible for selling official salt for Liu Zhensheng, privately increasing taxes for the people, and deducting disaster relief funds and relief food."

Xiao Junhe's face was solemn. "I naturally knew this in my heart."

Do you want to exchange his trust with these?

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the tragedy when the first emperor was in power, the generals of the Cheng family were full of loyal martyrs, but all died on the battlefield in the border wilderness, and no one returned?" Sima Ling knelt in front of Xiao Junhe, her face solemn. "I think Your Majesty has already guessed that General Cheng's death has something to do with Liu Zhensheng."

"Do you have proof?" Xiao Junhe's fingers clenched instantly.

General Cheng Jiyun is the cousin of Xiao Junhe's mother.

is also Xiao Junhe's cousin.

Once, this was also the reason why Concubine Lian was able to marry the first emperor as the princess.

Before Liu Zhensheng monopolized the power and made great achievements, Cheng Jiyun was the first general of the Qin State.

"Back then, General Cheng was charged with a command mistake and conspiring with the enemy, and when there were no reinforcements and no food and grass supply, he led 30,000 horses to fight for half a month in the snowy mountains...... "Sima Ling's voice choked, his fingers clenched hard.

Xiao Junhe's face became more and more gloomy.

30,000 horses, the whole army was annihilated.

When reinforcements arrived, the soldiers ...... Not killed by enemy troops, but ...... Trapped and dying on the top of a snowy mountain.

Their bellies are full of straw.

This was the most tragic battle in the history of the Qin State.

That year...... The tragedy of Cheng Jiajun, followed by the accession of the first emperor to the throne.

thought that the first emperor would rehabilitate the Cheng family, but this matter has been pressed for more than 20 years.

The first emperor was powerless, knowing that the incident was related to Liu Zhensheng, but he had no handle.

Now that the real power of Fengtian is in the hands of Liu Zhensheng, he is even more arrogant.

Regarding the tragedy of the Cheng family, Xiao Junhe once swore that he would definitely help them catch the real culprit and then rehabilitate him......

"Your Majesty, the Sima family, there is evidence of Liu Zhensheng's evil over the years, the concubine can help Your Majesty separate the Sima family and the Liu family, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to win over, and Sima Yao can obediently hand over the evidence."

Even if the emperor still can't kill Liu Zhensheng, at least, this is a capital crime, and Liu Zhensheng doesn't want to die, so he will be forced to rebel.

When the day of rebellion comes, it will be a battle between you and me, but both sides are in the open.

"As the daughter of the Sima family, you have both prosperity and loss, why do you want to tell me this?" Xiao Junhe looked at Sima Ling coldly.

"Your Majesty...... You see. Sima Ling got up and took out a jade pendant from his most precious jewelry box.

Xiao Junhe was stunned for a moment and reached out to take it.

That was the totem of the Cheng family.

The Chengjia Army takes the unicorn totem as the soul of the army, and the one who can match the injured jade pendant is the rank of deputy general or above in the Cheng family's army.

This piece of jade has a warm texture and is an excellent material.

"After General Cheng's accident, although the first emperor was not guilty, tens of thousands of soldiers died, my mother used to be General Cheng's right deputy, the daughter of General Chen Qingsheng, the family was in the middle of the road, my mother was reduced to slavery, and was sold to Sima's family."

Helian Xiao clenched the fingers of the jade pendant hard, and his voice was hoarse and low. "Why are you saying it now?"

"Your Majesty doesn't trust the concubines, and the concubines can't trust you either, if you can't bring down the Liu family, the concubines will die if they say it, and they will die if they don't say it."

What Sima Ling said was the truth, if Xiao Junhe was not capable of dealing with the Liu family, then why did she take the risk?

But now it seems that the world is undecided, and anyone may be a dark horse.

She's dead horizontally and vertically, so why don't you gamble.

The bet won...... Bet yourself on peace and security for the rest of your life.

"You know very well that if what you say is half a lie......" Xiao Junhe threatened in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, just go and check." Sima Ling had the courage to speak.

Xiao Junhe nodded thoughtfully. "Go to sleep, and don't let anyone know that I've left tonight."

Sima Ling nodded hurriedly. "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Xiao Junhe asked people to check the jade pendant overnight, and it was indeed consistent with what Sima Ling said.

It seems that Sima Ling is really the orphan of Cheng Jiajun.

He was negligent.

……

Early the next morning, the emperor left Sima Ling's palace and asked people to reward Sima Ling with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and cloth.

makes the women in the harem very envious.

"Congratulations, Sister Ling'er." Someone came to offer courtesy, and the meaning of flattery was strong.

Once, when she Sima Ling was not favored, she ignored her one by one.

Now that the emperor has rewarded her with so many jewels, she has come to rub her head one by one.

"Give it to the sisters." Sima Ling smiled and spoke, she didn't care about this, she needed to get connections.

Xiao Junhe told her before leaving, there is no credible person in this palace, only Shen Ning.

Sima Ling was surprised, she thought that the person the emperor loved was Huo Sinian, but she didn't expect it...... It was actually Shen Ning.

The emperor deliberately favored Huo Sinian, so he diverted all the hostility of the harem women.

It's a good trick to lead the water to the east......
