In the next three or four days, Chen Ning stayed honestly in the Southeast Prince's Mansion, fearing that Princess Changle would come and throw himself into his arms.

In the past few days, Lu Xun and Meng Xingchen have also found some information.

Let’s talk about Princess Changle first. As the emperor’s youngest daughter and the queen, Princess Changle was favored. When she opened the palace, she had a fief of 5,000 households. The emperor spent a huge amount of money to build the Jinxiu Garden and the Princess’ Mansion for her, and rewarded countless treasures, and possessed a thousand personal guards.

As for her son-in-law, she is Yang Jian, the eldest son of the Yang family.

The Yang family was in great power. The emperor asked Princess Changle to marry into the Yang family. One was to favor the Yang family's holy heart, and the other was to find a princess who was a good match for Princess Changle.

But unfortunately, although Yang Jian is the eldest son of the Yang family, he is good at martial arts and not literary. He has only martial arts skills, dances swords and guns all day long, without any ink in his heart.

Princess Changle has been well-educated since she was a child and has a talented person of no less than a man. The person she likes is naturally a talented man with outstanding literary talent and good looks, so she is extremely dissatisfied with this prince-consort.

The two have been married for ten years, but they have never had any children. Even now, sometimes Yang Jian can't even enter the Princess's Mansion.

However, Lu Xun did not find out the news that Princess Changle was a slut by nature. The imperial capital had a good evaluation of Princess Changle. As for whether she had secretly raised a male pet, it is unknown.

Although Princess Changle has a good reputation, Chen Ning decided to stay away from her. If she provokes Yang Jian, it would be a bad thing. Yang Jian is the deputy commander of the Earth Tiger Guard. Chen Ning would not want to provoke a great enemy for no reason.

Next is Jia Xu.

Meng Xingchen spent money to find out some of Jia Xu's situation. He was from Guzang County, Wuwei County. The Jia family was a local Confucian scholar. Unfortunately, his family was in trouble and suffered some changes. He could have become an official with his filial piety and integrity, but he did not. After going around in circles over the years, he has gone to many places and now he has joined Sima Liang's command.

Sima Liang was named King of Runan and his fief was in southern Yuzhou. Over the years, he managed there, and had 40,000 troops. Once the world is disrupted in the future, with Yuzhou's geographical location, it will be a place that military strategists must fight for.

As for why Jia Xu defected to Sima Liang, Meng Xingchen did not find any useful clues.

But Chen Ning did not dare to relax his vigilance. He knew that Jia Xu's name was that Sima Liang was not the best king among the Eight Kings. He was irritable by nature and was not a wise ruler. Jia Xu's principle of being a human being is that self-protection is the first priority. How could he not understand that it is not safe to follow Sima Liang?

"Wuwei County fell into the hands of the foreign Xianbei more than ten years ago. The Jia family suffered a change. Is it related to foreign enemies?"

Chen Ning couldn't help but guess.

Unfortunately, there are too few useful clues, and Chen Ning can't guess the truth.

Just as Shen Ning was speculating, Lu Xun came over.

"The military leader, Sima Jiong, the King of Qi, just entered the capital." Lu Xun said.

Chen Ning nodded and said, "The seven kings are here, and the emperor is now lively."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "This King of Qi was very rebellious when he entered the capital. The Guards did not allow his three thousand Pojun Guards to enter the city, and the two sides almost fought. In the end, the Minister of War arrived in person and persuaded Sima Jiong with words, but he still allowed him to lead a thousand soldiers into the city."

"What a pity, it's lively when the fight comes." Chen Ning didn't bother to watch the fun.

But then, there were indeed more things because someone came to the palace.

An internal official from the palace came to the Southeast Prince's Mansion and paid homage to Sima Haiyun, and said, "Your Highness, I will come to summon me according to the oral order of Your Majesty. At the very hour of tomorrow, I will enter the palace to meet the saint."

Sima Haiyun nodded, rewarded him with some money and asked him to go back and report his life.

After the person left, Sima Haiyun patted his face and sighed: "What is coming is finally coming, Chen Ning... I don't want to face the saint."

"Don't worry, the prince is not the prince, there are seven other princes. You are a nephew. At that time, you will only listen to and not talk to the last one. Even if Your Majesty asks you, you will be afraid and cautious, and you will never be in trouble." Chen Ning comforted.

Sima Haiyun sighed: "That's all, but it's a pity that you can't accompany me."

"How can you enter the palace if you are low-ranking?" Chen Ning replied.

But in my heart, I really want to enter the palace and take a look.

That is, let’s see what virtues the eight princes are, and I want to see what His Majesty looks like today!

Chen Ning was still curious about this emperor who was an enemy and uncle.

By the way, based on this relationship, then Princess Changle is Chen Ning’s cousin?

.....

In the heavily guarded harem, there is a Three Pure Landscape.

This is an alchemy room specially built by the emperor, right next to his bedroom. The emperor pursues immortality, so he is obsessed with alchemy techniques. He is afraid that someone has ulterior motives, so all alchemists are carefully selected by Tianshidao and then sent in after they are cleansed.

Walking into the Sanqing Temple, the main hall is the Sanqing statue. A man in a dragon robe was sitting on the cushion, closing his eyes and meditating.

This old man was the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhou.

Next to him, stood the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, the head of Tianshidao Tianjizi.

After a long time, Sima Zhou burst out with a breath of turbid air and opened his turbid eyes.

"Master Taoist, today's elixir is effective. I just breathed and absorbed the power of the medicine. I suddenly felt the vitality of my internal organs and my whole body was full of strength."

Sima Zhou said in surprise, a strange red color appeared on his face, definitely not a healthy color with a red face.

Tianjizi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this pill has the effect of replenishing essence and enhancing energy, can prolong life and take it for a long time, which is of great benefit to the body."

Sima Zhou nodded, but felt a little regretful: "It can prolong life, but it cannot last forever. By the way, the Taoist golden elixir of Longhu Mountain has some flaws? I heard that Sima Yue also sent someone to Longhu Mountain?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Sima Yue's condition has worsened, and the imperial doctor has diagnosed it, and he may only have one or two years of life. So he can't wait to find the Taoist golden elixir. However, Longhu Mountain has lost the method of refining Taoist golden elixirs. It is rumored that two Taoist golden elixirs are hidden in Longhu Mountain. The Earth Hu Guard is searching on Longhu Mountain. Even if he goes through Longhu Mountain, he will find the whereabouts of the Taoist golden elixir." Tianjizi replied.

Sima Zhou nodded, and then sighed: "Sima Yue was a few months older than me. When he was young, he was far stronger than me. Now, he has been withered and waiting to die, and I feel that immortality is hopeful! Thanks to the elixir. I am very pleased with the Taoist priest to protect me forever."

"This is what I should do." Tian Jizi looked calm, as if he was not happy with things or sad with himself.

Sima Zhou suddenly remembered Xuan Jizi and asked, "Xuan Jizi was killed, can you tell who the murderer is?"

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own destiny. My junior brother was killed because of cause and effect. You don't have to worry about such trivial matters. If the murderer is infected with cause and effect, others will take it away." Tian Jizi said casually.

In fact, even he had forgotten who killed his junior brother, because in his opinion, everything had cause and effect.

Sima Zhou suddenly felt that Tianjizi had a profound Taoist Dharma, so he did not ask questions, but smiled and said, "The Taoist priest said it is reasonable!"

Then, Sima Zhou stood up and walked towards the alchemy room behind.

When you enter the alchemy room, what catches your eye is an alchemy furnace, and several alchemists with fair skin are busy.

Not far away, an exquisite beauty is preparing pharmaceutical powder. This woman is Zhao Qingxuan.

Sima Zhou had just taken the pill, and the pill seemed to have not only refreshing the spirit, but also aroused the anger in his body. His eyes swept over Zhao Qingxuan and could no longer move.

"What a delicate beauty!" Sima Zhou's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

The Taoist robe on her body not only did not lower Zhao Qingxuan's appearance, but instead added an alternative temptation. Although the Taoist robe was loose, it could not hide its proud figure. The temperature inside the alchemy room was high, and her fragrant sweat wet her temples, adding a different kind of beauty. The red mole on the eyebrows was like a flame.

"Master, is he the apprentice taken by Xuan Jizi?" Sima Zhou asked.

Tianjizi said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Only I can enjoy such a beauties, it's a pity to stay in the alchemy room." Sima Zhou felt a ball of fire burning in his chest.

Tianjizi said: "The whole world belongs to Your Majesty, and of course she belongs to Your Majesty."

Sima Zhou laughed and turned around and returned to the bedroom.

The Si Li Zheng, who was beside him, walked towards Zhao Qingxuan and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Taoist Master Daoxuan, please come with me."

Zhao Qingxuan had long noticed that His Majesty was looking at her, her eyes full of aggression.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Zhao Qingxuan asked subconsciously although she already had the answer in her heart.

The eunuch holding the seal smiled and said, "Master Daoxuan, it is naturally His Majesty's bedroom."

Zhao Qingxuan immediately clenched her fists.

She was unwilling to accept it and was unwilling to commit herself to the old man, even if he was His Majesty today. But when she thought of her revenge, her family members who were killed by the whole family and her tragically died, her unwillingness was so humble.

Only then did she understand why Xuan Jizi wanted to come to the alchemy room to be a medicine child, because this was the quickest opportunity to get close to Your Majesty and the most favored place for Your Majesty.

Now, she has waited for this opportunity.

This will be her only chance to become successful and gain power. Look at His Majesty's four favorite concubines, which one of them is not powerful?

Her innocence, her dreams, and her life no longer existed when the Zhao family was destroyed.

"It's a good father-in-law!"

Zhao Qingxuan stood up and said calmly.

In this way, Zhao Qingxuan walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

.....

In the early morning of the next day, civil and military officials came to Wufeng Tower to wait for court, but learned that the morning court had been cancelled.

All civil and military officials have become accustomed to it, and understand that Your Majesty is lingering on the beautiful man's jade arm and cannot get up from the bed.

The countless concubines in the harem also received news, as if they were facing a great enemy. Especially the four favorite concubines, when they learned that the woman who was in His Majesty was a woman from the Heavenly Master, they were even more worried that they would lose His Majesty's favor.

Because His Majesty's speed of being fond of the new and getting tired of the old is well known.

In Shen Shizhong, Shen Ning escorted Sima Haiyun to the Wufeng Tower.

The other seven kings also arrived one after another.

This was the first time Shen Ning saw the appearance of the seven kings and remembered their appearance in his heart.

Soon, the eunuchs in the palace led Sima Haiyun and seven kings into the palace.

Shen Ning couldn't leave and needed to wait for Sima Haiyun to leave the palace.

Who knows what happened to be...
