The concubine is on top, the supreme love

Chapter 54 Cause and Effect
In the afternoon, an ordinary carriage arrived at the military camp outside the capital city.

"Who is it!" the soldier guarding the gate hurriedly crossed the spear in his hand and asked in a cold voice.

A plain white hand lifted the curtain of the car, and the woman's soft face appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Only heard the woman's quiet voice, "I'm Sheng Wan, I'm here to look for my lord father."

The two soldiers couldn't help being taken aback when they heard Sheng Wan's name, and complex expressions flashed in their eyes.They stepped aside respectfully, "Please come inside."

Sheng Hou smiled at the two of them and put down the curtain.

When the carriage was far away, the two soldiers each shivered, "Tell me, is Miss Sheng a monster? I look quite normal."

"You're stupid! A good evildoer pretends to be human! Don't talk about it, she won't bother us if she wants anything." Another soldier frowned.

"Too……"

The carriage walked slowly through the very large training ground and stopped in front of the row of tents built by the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, we're here." The groom driving the carriage whispered.

"Well, help me down." Sheng Hou opened the curtain and stood beside the carriage.

The groom stood beside the carriage with the back of his hand outstretched.

Sheng Wan helped him get out of the carriage, squinted his eyes and looked around.

This is an open place ten miles away from the metropolis, with a forest and a long river in the distance, and the environment is very beautiful.

I don't know what the soldiers are doing. There is only a circle of guards around such a big place.

At this time, the curtain of the largest tent was lifted, and a young man dressed as a soldier walked towards her.

When he approached, a hint of surprise appeared on Sheng Wan's face.

"Miss, General Sheng is waiting for you in the tent." Xiao Wu showed her a faint smile, coupled with his delicate facial features, he looked quite harmless.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zilong told her long ago that Xiao Wu is very scheming.

"Xiao Wu, you threw me into the mountain by yourself that day, you are really unreasonable!" Sheng Yu stared at him and smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of darkness.

Xiao Wu cupped his hands at Sheng Wan, "Miss, the situation forced me, please forgive me."

"Forget it, I've never held grudges very much, since you look so good to Miss Ben's taste, I don't care about it." After speaking, Sheng Wan raised his hand and touched his little face.

Under Xiao Wu's slightly astonished eyes, a red light flashed in Sheng Hou's narrowed eyes.

Xiao Wu reacted and didn't say anything, but lifted the curtain, "Miss, please come inside."

"This groom, you can't go in, please follow me to another tent."

After Sheng Wan walked in, Xiao Wu stopped her groom.

The furnishings inside the tent are very simple. In front of her is a long table and a few stools. Tiger skins are hung on the wall. On the right side is a bed with quilts neatly folded.

"You came."

A middle-aged man's deep voice came from the side.

Sheng Yu followed the sound, and saw Sheng Rong coming out from behind the map on the left. He was wearing a dark red uniform, and he was tall and muscular. At first glance, he was a combination of strength and explosive power. He was not to be underestimated. Opponent!
"I don't want to explain my life experience. I just want to know if I am your biological daughter? But you'd better say that I am not your biological daughter. I am more convinced by the result." Sheng Wan said calmly.

"Xiao Wan, things are not what you think. Ever since I named you Sheng Wan, you have been my biological daughter Sheng Rong." Sheng Rong walked up to Sheng Wan with a very solemn expression.

"Huh? If your old man calls me here to say these things, I really don't want to hear them. Can you leave early?" Sheng Yu's attitude was very arrogant, of course she did it on purpose.

"Okay. I called you here this time, but I just want to remind you. Prince Rui's purpose for your kindness is not pure. He took you to the grave because your pure yin will help him break some illusions, and your role It's more than that." Sheng Rong seemed to compromise a bit, and continued after sighing.

"Oh?" Sheng Wan sat on the stool and raised his eyebrows, not surprised, but rather interested.

Seeing her reaction like this, Sheng Rong said again, "Now that the emperor has recognized you, there is no need to hide some things. Would you like to hear me tell a story?"

"Tell me first, if I'm not interested, how about calling a stop?" Sheng Wan looked foolish.

Sheng Rong nodded, his eyes swept over Sheng Hou again, and after three touches, he found that the daughter in front of him had become a little strange.But he didn't doubt deeply.

"The matter started 20 years ago. At that time, there was a general named Zhao in Dahan. But this general was not in charge of training the army, but was responsible for secretly looking for something for the emperor. 20 years ago, this general Zhao Returning from the Western Regions, he secretly presented a piece of sacred stone from the Western Regions to the emperor. This sacred stone from the Western Regions is a rare thing in the world. General Zhao presented this sacred stone from the Western Regions with strange characters engraved on it. Later, the emperor asked many masters to identify ancient objects It took two years of research to find out that it was a prescription, and what is even more strange is that the prescription that General Zhao presented to the emperor was only a part of it. In fact, General Zhao discovered six such sacred stones of the Western Regions in the Western Regions at that time, and the remaining five were not easy. With him, he rubbed the words above, but he did not hand over the rubbings to the emperor. After deliberation by those antique masters, he deduced that the prescription was developed by the alchemists of the Xia Dynasty thousands of years ago. A prescription for immortality!"

Sheng Rong paused at this point to see Sheng Wan's reaction.

Sheng Yu's heart was turned upside down, but he showed interest on the face, and said indifferently, "The elixir of life? If there is such a thing in this world, why did King Xia die a thousand years ago?"

"King Xia died voluntarily following his beloved concubine, and it has nothing to do with the pill." Sheng Rong said.

"Oh? General, you are so clear about what happened thousands of years ago. It seems that you have been to the tomb all these years." Sheng Yu said indifferently. She had heard the emperor vaguely mentioning the tomb of the Yaoji emperor before, and she felt that what Sheng Rong was going to talk about was certain. It's about that mausoleum!
"The next thing I want to talk about is why I often go to the tomb with Prince Rui." Sheng Rong said slowly, "The elixir of immortality has always been a legend. It is rumored that there was one in the tomb where King Xia and her favorite concubine were buried together. The elixir of immortality is in the purple jade box held by the favorite concubine. So all these years, in order to find the joint burial mausoleum, the royal families of the four countries have been using secret forces to search across mountains and mountains. Prince Rui and I were sent by the emperor 'Dark Power', I have been working with Prince Rui in division of labor. I have been searching in the territory of the four countries for these years, and finally found clues at the foot of Xizhao Mountain. The place where I met you in the tomb last time is the outer area of ​​the mausoleum where the Yaoji and Emperors are jointly buried. , but there are many traps inside, and our team was almost wiped out."

"So you have been poisoned by the blood corpse." Sheng Wan raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly.

Sheng Rong's complexion suddenly sank, "It seems that Prince Rui's influence has infiltrated into my side, I have concealed the matter of poisoning, yet he still knows about it!"

"Seeing how you and Ji Qinghan are not at odds, we must be on guard against each other." Sheng Wan rubbed his chin and analyzed.

"Yes, before because of the different division of labor, Prince Rui and I never had any conflicts until he discovered your existence!" Sheng Rong looked deeply at Sheng Wan.

"Me? Because I'm a whole genital body?" Sheng Yu pointed at himself suspiciously.

"Yes." Sheng Rong nodded.

"Well, that's a reason." Sheng Wan nodded, beginning to believe it.

"The first time I let you go, it was because I knew that Prince Rui would not let you die. The second time was because I couldn't control my emotions at all due to my corpse poisoning, so I almost killed you by mistake. Xiao Wan, Can you forgive father?" Sheng Rong asked sincerely.

Sheng Yu lowered her eyes but sneered in her heart. She even doubted the authenticity of the story he told, not to mention his explanation was not convincing at all.

According to what he said, he didn't want to hurt her, but he was so decisive every time before he made a move, without any sympathy at all!

"Prince Rui used me but he didn't harm me, so it doesn't do me too much harm." Sheng Wan didn't answer him, but asked another question.

Sheng Rong's complexion slowly changed.

Sheng Wan thought for a while and then said, "I guess Prince Rui's mission is to find the corresponding medicinal ingredients according to the prescription of the elixir obtained by the emperor, right?"

"I didn't expect Xiao Wan to be so smart." This is the default.

Sheng Hou smiled, "Small cleverness, but I still guess that the real disagreement between you and Prince Rui is not because of me, but because of the elixir of immortality. You two forces are simultaneously looking for elixir and medicinal materials for the emperor, the essence is the same Yes. But... it may be that you may be Prince Rui or both of you have selfish motives."

Sheng Rong's face changed completely, he didn't expect Sheng Yu to be so smart, to have already guessed this step!
"Father wants Xiaowan to help you, just to put it bluntly. In fact, it's very boring to follow Ji Qinghan all day long. After all, you are my father, so of course I won't help an outsider." A smile appeared on Sheng Yu's face .

Hearing this, Sheng Rong suddenly burst out laughing, with a hearty laugh, "Xiao Wan, you can think like this, I'm really glad to be a father!"

Sheng Yu smiled, then frowned and asked, "Then how do you plan to get your daughter away from Prince Rui, and how do you deal with him?"

Sheng Rong lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "As long as the emperor loses his trust in him, he has no foundation as a king with a different surname, and he will collapse in a few days."

"A king with a different surname? Does father know his real identity?" Ji Qinghan is not the emperor's own son!

"I don't know, I only found out that he suddenly appeared in the palace five years ago, and was crowned king by the emperor in the name of the exiled prince. His surname is Ji, which has the same pronunciation as the emperor's surname." Sheng Rong said.

"This is really strange." Sheng Wan propped his chin with both hands, lost in thought.

Sheng Rong has been paying close attention to the changes in Sheng Hou's expression, and found that she is not as indifferent as on the surface, and he is suddenly happy.

"Xiao Wan, father did this all for you. If one day the emperor finds out about Prince Rui's ulterior motives, the nine clans will definitely be implicated. Father does not want you to lose your life for a man."
