In the backyard of the palace.
Seeing Emperor Jing's serious look, Lin Sheng thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"In that case, Lin Sheng would like to thank His Majesty."
"Okay!!"
Seeing Lin Sheng agree, Emperor Jing smiled even more on his face and nodded immediately.
"In this case, I will issue an edict tomorrow to announce your marriage and canonization to Ling Yu."
"As for those Demon Beast Flesh, don't worry, after the decree is issued tomorrow, they will be sent to Ling Yu's house as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng nodded and bowed again.
Although I don't know what kind of medicine this Emperor Jing is selling in his gourd, I guess it's not something evil.
After all, the relationship between Princess Lingyu and Emperor Jing is quite extraordinary, and it is no exaggeration to say that they treat each other as their own children.
You will never cheat your own people.
"Imperial Uncle Then the matter is settled, don't forget tomorrow's Demon Beast Flesh."
At this time Princess Lingyu said with a smile.
"In addition, let's talk about the banquet another day. You are practicing, so it's better not to delay. Besides, Lin Sheng has just arrived at Imperial Capital. Ling Yu wants to take him around and enjoy the scenery of Imperial Capital."
"You girl, if this is the case, then I won't keep you here."
Emperor Jing was straightforward and did not try to persuade him to stay, he just laughed and cursed.
After that, Ling Yu took Lin Sheng and left.
"Lin Sheng, you will become Southern Qi Prince Consort immediately. If you don't have an official position, it really doesn't look like you. Imperial Uncle should give you a name in the court. Don't worry, there won't be any restrictions."
Seemingly knowing that warriors like Lin Sheng don't like to be restrained, Princess Lingyu explained sternly as soon as he left the palace.
"I understand."
Lin Sheng nodded.
After all, I just met this Emperor Jing for the first time.
Although she and Ling Yu have decided to get married, they have not officially married each other yet.
This Emperor Jing His Majesty would not really arrange any important positions for himself.
With this thought in his mind, he didn't take this matter too seriously.
After accompanying Ling Yu around Imperial Capital, he returned to Ling Yu's house.
In the room prepared in advance, Lin Sheng continued to refine the red fire cow essence and blood.
The blood pill condensed from the red fire ox's heart in his hand was the last one left at this moment.
Throw this blood pill into your mouth and simulate refining it.
Time moves forward, inside the Southern Qi palace.
Emperor Jing watched Lin Sheng and others leave with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"No wonder he is valued by Mr. Tang. This boy is indeed an extraordinary person."
Emperor Jing Behind him, a shadow suddenly appeared, and a thin figure in gray clothes emerged from it.
The gray-clothed figure is extremely thin and looks as if it is all skin and bones. If it were not still moving, no one would doubt it to be a Mummified Body.
"This guy does have some skills. He discovered me."
The hoarse voice of Mummified Body-looking old man sounded slowly.
"Oh? Can you even detect Old Dragon!? This kid's perception is so strong."
Hearing the words of the old man Mummified Body, a look of surprise appeared on Emperor Jing's face.
You must know that this old man Mummified Body is a genuine Third Realm Grandmaster, and he is also a leader among the three-mirror Grandmaster. If he deliberately hides it, even an ordinary First Realm Grandmaster may not be able to detect it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sheng, who has not yet entered Divine Form, can actually notice it.
The old man nodded.
"He does feel outstanding, and there are traces of Heavenly Clarity Qi Guiding Method on him. It seems that he has been taught by Mr. Tang."
Hearing this, Emperor Jing had a look of surprise on his face.
"It's no wonder."
At this time, the figure of the old man Mummified Body had disappeared again.
Emperor Jing touched his chin and said to the confidant on the side.
"A'Fu, take my token and go to the treasury to retrieve those Demon Beast Flesh. Remember to choose the best ones. In addition, take out some Dragon Saliva Golden Liquids and also choose the best ones."
"Dragon Saliva Golden Liquid!?"
A'Fu on the side didn't think anything of it at first, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but was startled and thought he heard it wrong.
"His Majesty, the amount of ambergris spirit liquid in the national treasury is not large, and it is dwarfed by the training supply for the royal family's descendants, not to mention the share of the children of high-ranking officials in the court. Will using Dragon Saliva Golden Liquid..."
"Just do as I say."
Emperor Jing said lightly.
"Wouldn't it be a waste to use these rare treasures on those idiots?"
"My subordinates will make arrangements now."
Hearing this, A'Fu procrastinated, turned around immediately, and made hurried arrangements.
Soon he returned.
"His Majesty, it's ready. When do you think it will be sent over?"
"Let's wait until tomorrow."
Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction.
A'Fu on the side couldn't help but ask.
He has been with Emperor Jing for many years. It can be said that he grew up with Emperor Jing and knows him very well.
"His Majesty, those Demon Beast Flesh can be transferred directly, why should we give this future Prince Consort an official position? After all, Lin Sheng is from Dark Star organization."
He was indeed a little confused, it seemed a bit unnecessary, not to mention that Lin Sheng had another identity.
"I just want to confer an official position on him, and it's not an ordinary official position. I want to make him the commander of the Crimson Feather Army and take charge of the entire Crimson Feather Army."
Faced with A'Fu's doubts, Emperor Jing raised a smile on his lips and spoke slowly.
"What!!"
A'Fu's face was full of surprise.
"But aren't His Majesty and Crimson Feather Army always under the control of Grand Councilor Gongsun? Isn't this..."
"Crimson Feather Army is originally affiliated with our royal family. However, in the past fifty years, there has been no suitable leader among the royal family's descendants, so Gongsun family has been temporarily replaced. Ling Yu is a suitable candidate, but his cultivation is still a bit weak. He originally planned to wait for Ling Yu to improve his cultivation and take over Crimson Feather Army, but now there is no need to wait."
Emperor Jing spoke slowly, his tone gradually becoming colder.
"If this continues, won't these court elders really think that my royal family has no one?"
Over the years, Crimson Feather Army has repeatedly requested massive amounts of armaments, especially after the frontline war broke out. With Tang Chong being injured, the situation has become even more demanding. Many armaments are a huge drain on the national treasury. Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's face becomes a little gloomy.
"It's time to give these people a beating."
Having said this, Emperor Jing paused and looked at A'Fu again.
"As for the identity issue you mentioned, it doesn't matter. Since he will marry Ling Yu, then he is my Southern Qi Imperial Family's own person. I believe in Mr. Tang's vision..."

The next day.
Above the court.
"His Majesty, the fighting on the frontline broke out again. This time the fighting was quite fierce. Crimson Crystal Stone suffered huge losses. His Majesty is still needed to forward and transport Crimson Crystal Stone to support the front line."
"Okay, General Song, just take my token to the Ministry of War and mobilize them. Anyone who hinders the war can be killed first and then reported."
"I humble my position and take orders."
After listening to General Military Department's report, Emperor Jing's eyes fell on the officials.
"Since there is nothing else, I have two big things to announce."
Hearing Emperor Jing's words, the eyes of all the officials in the hall flashed, and many people looked at each other, all guessing something.
Without any intention of showing off, Emperor Jing said directly.
"First, Princess Lingyu has reached the age of marriage. I have already chosen a good match for him, named Lin Sheng, who is the future Prince Consort. This matter has been decided. I will personally host the wedding after the new year."
Hearing this, although everyone in the hall had already made some guesses, they were all quite surprised when they heard this strange name.
Princess Lingyu's status in the royal family is extremely high, even higher than that of ordinary princesses. Especially her talent is the best among the younger generation of Imperial Capital. Being able to marry Princess Lingyu is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.
Bloodline is the most respected member of the royal family. Princess Lingyu Bloodline is almost the most outstanding member of the royal family in the past hundred years, so he is naturally qualified to inherit the throne.
If she can become Grandmaster, she will most likely become empress Southern Qi.
This is not without precedent in the history of Southern Qi.
This is also the reason why many big forces in Southern Qi want their descendants to marry this Princess Lingyu.
As for the important officials in high positions in the court, there are also many who have this kind of mentality.
At this moment, many officials' eyes fell on the tall old man at the forefront.
This powerful envoy Grand Councilor Gongsun is one of them.
At this time, Gongsun Yue's face was calm, only his eyes were flashing, and there was nothing unusual about him other than that.
It seems that this result has been known for a long time.
Although I feel unwilling to do so, now that the imperial edict has been issued, it is already too late to say anything.
Emperor Jing naturally noticed the reaction of the officials below, sneered in his heart, and continued.
"This second thing is also about the future Prince Consort."
"His talent is unparalleled. As soon as he joins our royal family, he will naturally be conferred an official position. I have decided to appoint Lin Sheng as Imperial Court second grade General of the Cavalry from now on, and lead Crimson Feather Army to the position of commander."
"What?"
Hearing this, the hall immediately caused a commotion.
Most eyes are once again focused on Gongsun Yue.
Who doesn't know that Crimson Feather Army has been basically controlled by Gongsun family for the past fifty years.
It seems that His Majesty now obviously wants to take back Crimson Feather Army.
At this time, Gongsun Yue also had a look of surprise on his face, and he obviously didn't expect that this second thing would be related to him.
He immediately took a step forward and coughed slightly.
"His Majesty please think twice about this matter. After all, this future Prince Consort is still young. How can he lead an army? Hai He Valley is related to the front line and should not be taken lightly."
After saying this, he paused and glanced at the officials behind him before continuing.
"What's more, according to what I know, this future Prince Consort seems to be not Non-Self Southern Qi Kingdom, but from Northern Yan. It would be a bit too childish to hand such an important position into his hands..."
As soon as the words fell, many officials behind him immediately echoed his words.
Looking at this scene, the expression on Emperor Jing's face remained unchanged, and he just spoke in a deep voice.
"What does ability have to do with age? As for the identity issue mentioned by Grand Councilor Gongsun, it is nothing. Southern Qi and Dark Star are now in the same spirit, and now Lin Sheng is about to become me, Southern Qi Prince Consort. If such a person cannot be reused, then who can be reused?"
"What's more, this son was introduced to me by the God of War. Don't you all believe in Mr. Tang's vision?"
Emperor Jing After the words fell, the officials in the court who had objected one after another immediately fell silent.
After all, everyone knows what Supreme Grandmaster means to Southern Qi.
"Grand Councilor Gongsun Do you have any questions?"
Emperor Jing looked at Gongsun Yue with a smile and asked slowly.
"Since this son can be favored by the God of War, I naturally have no problem with it."
A gloomy look flashed across Gongsun Yue's face, but it quickly returned to normal and he answered with his hands in hand.
"Okay, since there is no problem, let's leave."
Emperor Jing flicked his sleeves and spoke lightly.
Watching the officials disperse, a smile appeared on his face.
During this period, I have been feeling suppressed and unable to release my emotions, but today I feel relieved.
"A'Fu."
"I'm here."
"Send to Princess's Residence with the imperial edict and those things."
"Yes, His Majesty."

Within Quiet Room.
Lin Sheng sat cross-legged among them, his eyes closed tightly, and red blood lines appeared on his body, twisting continuously.
If you look carefully, you can see that its body is vibrating at an extremely fast speed.
As the body continued to vibrate, the blood lines on the body surface gradually differentiated at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, Lin Sheng's body surface was covered with dense blood lines.
The whole person was sitting cross-legged on the ground like a bloody man.
Irregular fleshy bags gradually bulged out on the skin, and the bulges and contractions kept coming back and forth.
It gives people an indescribable feeling of weirdness and horror.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, after one stick of incense passed.
The meat bag gradually calmed down and returned to the body.
The blood lines that were originally connected gradually became thinner, until they completely returned to normal.
I saw thick white mist emanating from Lin Sheng, almost filling the entire room.
But it soon dissipated.
At the same time, Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
The crackling sound of bones like the explosion of firecrackers continued to come from the body.
"Huh... finally the refining is finished."
Lin Sheng breathed out.
The extra pure energy in the Dantian was quickly absorbed and digested by the body under his guidance.
"The strength seems to have improved a lot. Has the effect finally appeared!?"
Feeling the full strength in his body, Lin Sheng muttered to himself, with a bit of joy on his face.
The Red Fire Ox has almost been refined by him, and it has been nourishing the body with the pure energy refined by the secret method of swallowing blood for several days.
Although he could feel his body slowly getting stronger every moment, it was only today that he saw a significant improvement.
Immediately, his thoughts came to him, and the panel appeared in front of him.
[Lin Sheng]
[Realm: Bone Tempering]
[Strength: 23] [Physique: 23] [Agility: 19 (Breaking through Bone Transformation Seventh Layer increases agility a little, I forgot to add it before, but I added it now.)] [Perception: 13] [Spirit: 5]
[Talent: Dragon Elephant Power]
[Talent: Sea Sacrifice Demonic Blood]
"Sure enough, the strength has improved a bit."
Seeing the attribute changes on the panel, a smile appeared on Lin Sheng's face.
Strength and physique are his two highest attributes, and the increase brought by each point of improvement is quite considerable.
Moreover, the energy in his body has not been completely digested. If all the energy is digested, it may be possible to improve his physique.
"When the other Demon Beast Flesh are delivered, refine them all. There will definitely be more improvements. However, this blood-swallowing talent also has an upper limit. I wonder how much more can be refined?"
Lin Sheng murmured, still somewhat looking forward to the increase that the blood swallowing talent can bring.
