Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

He had been locked up in this side room for a whole day.

I really have to pee urgently.

But the guards outside the gate would not let him go to the toilet.

Sheng Quan, feeling extremely uncomfortable, paced around the room and in a moment of desperation, he actually picked up a vase.

Unfortunately, he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to solve the problem right away.

In the end, I could only endure it and lie on the table in the room, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It was a torment in my heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the door to the room finally opened.

Then Sheng Quan saw Zhao Zhen, dressed in plain clothes, slowly walking in.

Seeing this, Sheng Quan hurriedly stood up and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am not dressed properly. Please forgive me."

In fact, the status of scholars in this era was very high.

Unless it was a major ceremony or a special occasion, officials did not need to kneel when meeting the emperor.

Even when attending court, the main method is to bow and prostrate.

But the problem is that Sheng Quan is panicking now.

He didn't even know what mistake he had made.

That's why he was so nervous.

Zhao Zhen did not say anything when he saw this, but quietly walked to Sheng Quan and sat down on the chair opposite him.

Seeing this, Sheng Quan's fear grew even stronger, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.

After a long while, he finally heard Zhao Zhen speak.

"My dear, have you had a peaceful day?"

Only those who are short-sighted will say that they are good.

Sheng Quan immediately said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am restless and terrified. I dare not sit still!"

Sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

In a short while, a large area of ​​the floor was wet.

Chapter 192 Confused Sheng Quan

After hearing Sheng Quan's words, Zhao Zhen spoke.

"Okay, you know how it feels to be restless. I used to be restless too because I didn't have a son."

Sheng Quan trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I am deeply troubled and beg for your guidance."

He really didn't know what mistake he had made.

On weekdays, he was extremely cautious in the court.

Zhao Zhen said coldly, "A country without a crown prince is like losing its pillars. In the past, the ministers in the court often pressured me to abdicate over the issue of the crown prince. Now, I finally have a few unborn children, but some say that if I have a son, it will hinder their future. Now tell me, how does my son hinder their future—?"

After hearing this, Sheng Quan almost peed himself.

Who said this at this time?

Isn't this seeking death?

His mind raced with countermeasures.

This question must not be answered directly, otherwise it will cost lives.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

Zhao Zhen ignored him and continued speaking.

"I heard that after the Spring Examination results were announced, Sheng Changfeng, the third son of the Sheng family, and Qiu Keli, the son of Qiu Jing, spent the night in a brothel reveling in music and singing. During the meal, Qiu Keli remarked that if I didn't have a son, Prince Yan would sooner or later become the crown prince, and that he would surely have a bright future. Your son also agreed with many of these remarks. I presume you often discuss these things at home and infect your son, right?"

Sheng Quan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I dare not. It's all because of my son's ignorance. He is young and doesn't understand the affairs of state. This is all nonsense he said after drinking."

The tongue is shaking.

Zhao Zhen said, "You don't understand state affairs? You've already entered the examination hall and left again. How can you say you don't understand state affairs?"

After hearing this, Sheng Quan finally understood that if he didn't come up with a reasonable explanation for what happened today, even if he could save his head, his official hat would definitely be gone.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that two months ago, when his son Sheng Changbai came back, he told him that while out and about, he had debated with several classmates about the issue of the succession.

During this time, his sixth daughter made some insightful remarks.

So he immediately copied the homework.

"Your Majesty, I often teach my children at home that the Emperor is wise and benevolent, a sage ruler rarely seen in ancient and modern times. I also often teach my nephews and nieces that a true man should be loyal to his emperor and love his country, avoid meaningless arguments, and be a loyal subject, which is the right thing to do."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen suddenly recalled the scene of his encounter with Lu Xiao and the others two months ago.

Sheng Xiaoliu also said something similar at the time.

Finally, the anger in his heart dissipated, and he sighed.

"You are a wise man, but you are not good at parenting. Your daughter has taken all your words to heart, but your youngest son has not heard a single word."

Sheng Quan was very puzzled, wondering how it could be related to his daughter again.

Which daughter?

When did His Majesty meet his daughter?

However, he could tell Zhao Zhen had calmed down, so he spoke without thinking about anything else.

"The boy has lost his moral integrity after drinking and made careless friends. I will flog him vigorously so that he will not dare to speak nonsense again."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "I hope you can remember it."

At this moment, another palace servant suddenly came to report from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lin has come to report that this year's top scorer, Lu Xiao, and Sheng Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family, wish to see you."

When these words came out, both people in the room were stunned.

After a moment, Zhao Zhen smiled and said to himself.

"He's such a smart kid! I really didn't hide my identity from him that day."

Then he turned and looked at Sheng Quandao.

"Get up and clean yourself up, or your children and your brother-in-law will see me and say I bullied you."

Sheng Quan was even more confused.

Lu Yiqi Erba Sissing/Eight

After a while, the imperial study room.

Lu Xiao and Sheng Minglan stood side by side.

"This humble commoner pays homage to His Majesty!"

"This humble woman pays homage to His Majesty!"

Sheng Minglan originally planned to kneel.

But she remembered what Old Madam Sheng had said, asking her to listen to Lu Xiao.

So when she saw Lu Xiao didn't kneel, she didn't kneel either.

Sheng Quan, who was watching this scene, was already dumbfounded.

They are really my daughter and uncle.

A cousin-in-law is also a uncle-in-law.

At the same time, when he saw that the two men did not kneel, his legs couldn't help but become weak again.

But Zhao Zhen said this with a smile.

"When did you guess my identity?"

Sheng Minglan subconsciously looked towards Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao smiled and replied, "I have some knowledge of the art of observing qi, and I recognized it the first time I saw it."

In the past, Zhao Zhen would never have believed in the art of observing qi.

But now that he has practiced Lu Xiao's technique, he knows that Lu Xiao is a man of great ability.

There is naturally no doubt about this.

"You know a lot. If that's the case, you deliberately set a trap for me that day."

Lu Xiao immediately said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for what I said. I clearly gave you a gift. Are you dissatisfied with it?"

Zhao Zhen immediately laughed and said, "Satisfied, more than satisfied, I will reward you handsomely. A king's words are not joking. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Lu Xiao had helped him save his kingdom, and no matter how much he thanked him, it would not be excessive.

But Lu Xiao said, "No, I've already told you what I want. Just don't break your promise."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen immediately looked at Sheng Minglan with a strange look.

Then he asked Xiang Luxiao again: "Do you really only want that?"

Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, that's enough."

Of course, that's what I said.

But he knew clearly in his heart that debts of favor were never calculated this way.

Even if Zhao Zhen fulfilled his promise to himself.

This kindness still exists.

There won't even be any attenuation, and it will only get heavier as the prince is born.

Of course, at this moment, Zhao Zhen could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, since I promised you, I will definitely keep my promise after you pass the palace examination. You don't have to worry about me breaking my promise. Are you two coming to the palace today for the matter of Lord Sheng?"

Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Minglan also replied honestly: "My grandmother and mother were very worried about my father, so my brother-in-law brought me to the palace. I didn't know you were the emperor before."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "It's normal not to know. After all, not everyone has the ability of your brother-in-law. But don't worry, your father is fine. It's getting late now. You treated me to roast lamb that day, so I'll treat you to a meal today too. You can go back after dinner."

Sheng Xiaoliu was about to refuse, but Lu Xiao spoke directly.

"Okay, then we won't be polite."

Then he turned to look at Sheng Quan and said, "Uncle, you can go back without worry. After dinner, I will send Sixth Sister back."

Sheng Quan still looked dumbfounded.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen immediately said angrily, "Why are you still standing here? Go back and discipline your youngest son. I was a little displeased with him the last time I saw him."

In this way, Sheng Quan finally walked out of the palace in a daze.

I didn't even come back to my senses after leaving the palace.

Chapter 193 Meal

After leaving the palace, Sheng Quan returned home in a daze.

As soon as they entered the house, Madam Wang came rushing to greet them with a large group of servants, followed by Sheng Rulan and Sheng Hualan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family who was already married.

"Sir!"

Madam Wang's scream nearly frightened Sheng Quan to death.

Finally, Sheng Quan came back to his senses after hearing this shout.

Then Madam Wang ran over to Sheng Quan and carefully looked him up and down.

Seeing that Sheng Quan's arms and legs were intact and he had no injuries on his body, she threw herself into Sheng Quan's arms.

"Sir! Wuuwuwu~~ I must be dreaming! My official uniform is still there, as are my arms and legs. May the ancestors of the Sheng family bless me!"
