Chapter 491 More room for operation

Sheng Zhan stared at her crying face, her thin lips pursed tightly.

Although he dotes on Jian Ningxiang, deep down he is always somewhat wary of her.

Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty selected Jian Ningxiang to be Shengze's concubine out of thousands of choices. Unexpectedly, Shengze didn't appreciate it at all. He didn't even want a concubine, let alone a concubine.

The Jian family was embarrassed in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and was extremely disappointed with Jian Ningxiang, their legitimate daughter. At this moment, Jian Ningxiang found someone to give Sheng Zhan a message, and the two met in private. Not long after, Jian Ningxiang was beaten by a small hat The sedan chair was carried into the eldest prince's mansion and she became one of Sheng Zhan's many concubines.

Later, Jian Ningxiang took advantage of Sheng Zhan's freshness towards her and gave him advice, and finally established a firm foothold in the backyard of the eldest prince's mansion, and was even named a noble concubine after Sheng Zhan ascended the throne.

Previously, Sheng Zhan always thought that Jian Ningxiang was thinking about him from beginning to end, but when the news came that Sheng Ze was still alive, he could not help but doubt what Jian Ningxiang had done, especially the scene where the burnt body was confirmed that day.

It was precisely because Jian Ningxiang categorically said that she had personally embroidered the purse on the body for Sheng Ze that Sheng Zhan believed that it was Sheng Ze who died.

The reason why Jian Ningxiang's money was in Shengze's possession was because the first empress took a fancy to her and wanted her to marry Shengze as a concubine. She hinted that she had embroidered it and handed it to Shengze in person in front of her. But Shengze didn't know that the purse was made by Jian Ningxiang.

"Your Majesty, I am devoted to you and have no second thoughts. If you insist on doubting me like this, I will die!"

Just as Sheng Zhan was thinking, Jian Ningxiang suddenly got up from the ground and ran towards the big pillar in the dormitory.

Sheng Zhan came back to his senses and subconsciously reached out to pull, but the pull was in vain. Jian Ningxiang actually hit her head against the pillar!

"My beloved concubine!"

Jian Ningxiang passed out immediately. A lot of blood oozed from her head and slid down her face. Sheng Zhan was shocked and said, "Come here, call the imperial doctor!"

…

Although King Zhao withdrew his troops, the Northern Hubei Army did not withdraw immediately. Liang Cheng still left 30,000 troops stationed on the bank of Lanjiang River.

Qi Hongjun's message spread throughout the world, and naturally people in northern Hubei also knew about it.

At this time, there were soldiers talking.

"Hey, tell me, is the First Prince really here with us?"

"Who knows? That's all a matter from above. Didn't our general get angry? I think this matter is probably King Zhao's conspiracy."

"It makes sense. When King Zhao saw that he couldn't defeat us, he wanted to turn around and attack Yuzhou. However, he had to be famous and had to worry about his own face. Wouldn't this drag out the former prince again?"

"That's probably what happened..."

Shen Qingqian came out of the wounded barracks and stopped for a moment when she heard such remarks.

At first, she was worried that Shengze's identity would be exposed, which would lead to the court's suspicion of Liang Cheng, and there might even be other problems.

As a result, King Zhao unexpectedly issued a message, but did not clearly explain Shengze's specific situation. In this way, it gave Liang Cheng and Shengze more room for maneuver.

Just like now, although everyone knows that the former prince is in northern Hubei, no one knows his current identity or where he is. Shengze, the orthodox heir to the Jin Dynasty, can continue to use the identity of Cheng San to hide in Hubei. In the Northern Army.

Of course, the one on the dragon throne is not that easy to fool. Didn't Zhang Zhiyao just call Liang Cheng and use insinuations and inducements to persuade him?

Fortunately, although Liang Cheng was a military commander, he was not the kind of brainless person. After Zhang Zhiyao tested him several times, he did not reveal any flaws.

What left Shen Qingqian speechless the most was that Sheng Ze followed Liang Cheng so arrogantly!
