Detective in the Red Chamber

Seeing Zhao Rongheng's confident appearance, this Wang Kun must be his best friend. If he is really allowed to participate in it, how can this big show of turning a deer into a horse be able to continue? !

But who would have thought that such a freak who is proficient in medical skills is hidden among the censors? !

Sun Shaozong was anxious and tried hard to think about how to save the situation. However, when the incident happened suddenly, he was only a fifth-rank official after all. How could there be any suitable reason to stop him? !

But after Zhao Rongheng sacrificed Wang Kun, he refused to delay any more, and immediately urged the imperial physicians to come forward to check the pulse.

Seeing that Wang Kun arrived in front of Mrs. Li, Sun Shaozong's heart seemed to slowly fall into the abyss!

Damn!

Is today doomed to be a complete failure? !

"Report to you, my lords!"

Just when Sun Shaozong couldn't help feeling depressed, Wang Kun suddenly shouted with joy, "This girl is indeed two months pregnant!"

"what?!"

"how can that be?!"

"you you……"

For a moment, everyone in the hall was stunned, even Sun Shaozong, the instigator, almost dropped his jaw.

It can't be such a coincidence that Mrs. Li is really pregnant, right? !

wrong!

Even if Mrs. Li is really pregnant, Wang Kunxi shouldn't have announced it with a smile on her face!

Could it be that……

Was he a temporary betrayal? !

"Wang Yushi!"

Zhao Rongheng gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Have you really diagnosed it?!"

"Naturally, the diagnosis has been made."

However, Wang Kun did not intend to change his words at all, and still held his head high and said, "Wang dares to guarantee with his head that Mrs. Li indeed has a two-month-old fetus in her womb!"

At this time, Qin Ming also recovered from the shock, and immediately stepped forward and said, "That's right, this Mrs. Li is indeed pregnant with the dragon species!"

"Judging from the pulse condition, it is likely to be a grandson of the emperor!"

"This is really the blessing of the imperial court and the common people!"

As the imperial physicians came forward one by one and crucified the claim that Li Shi was pregnant, Zhao Rongheng's blunt beard trembled wildly and his face turned livid, but because Wang Kun was personally recommended by him, he couldn't say a word of doubt.

"Wang Kun!"

At this moment, Liu Fang couldn't help jumping up, pointing at Wang Kun and yelling, "You must be crazy, thanks to Zhao Butang's pity for talent, you are planning to betroth your daughter to you! You actually..."

It turned out that this Wang Kun was actually Zhao Rongheng's prospective son-in-law, no wonder he looked confident just now.

"Lord Liu, speak carefully."

Then Wang Kun interrupted Liu Fang's accusation with a righteous face, "You and I are both sent by the emperor's order, but what are you talking about? What's more, what the Lord of the Ministry values ​​is that Wang must report to the country. The skills of Li Shu, not the tricks of ghosts and ghosts that bring disaster to the country!"

"you you……"

Liu Fang was so annoyed that she just rolled her eyes, but where could she come up with a rebuttal?

If you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you lose your way, you will get little help. The ancients did not deceive me!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help feeling emotional from the sidelines. Although he had expected that all the officials in the court would inevitably focus on stability and unity, he did not expect to see the power of "political correctness" so soon.

At this time, seeing that the overall situation was settled, Elder Xu Ge stood up and closed the coffin and concluded, "Since everyone has no objection, please wait here for a while. The old man and the Qin Yuan envoy will enter the palace and report to His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor."

As he spoke, he solemnly confessed, "Master Sun, I will leave the safety of Mrs. Li to you!"

Chapter 447 Husband and wife, father and son, brother

Ningshou Palace.

The youngest building complex in the palace has been in use for less than ten years, but its owner is the most powerful elder in the palace.

It was nearly three o'clock.

The main hall of Ningshou Palace was still brightly lit, and more than a dozen servants were distributed inside and outside the hall gate, all of them looked at their eyes, noses, noses, and hearts, like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, and did not dare to make a sound.

The only exception is Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu.

He stood at the place closest to the royal case in the hall, sometimes looking at the Supreme Emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and sometimes looking out of the hall, although his feet were as motionless as the roots of an old tree, his heart was as restless as an ant on a hot pot disturbed.

More than ten years!

It has been more than ten years for Xia Shouzhong, and he has never seen the Supreme Emperor meditating with his eyes closed on the dragon chair.

However, before he abdicated, whenever the Supreme Emperor encountered a major event that was difficult to make a decision, he would think quietly like this, the shortest was a moment and the longest was only an hour or two.

But today, the Supreme Emperor has been sitting withered for half a day!

This person who seems to be almost eighty, even if he is well maintained on weekdays, how can he stand up to such a toss? !

Xia Shouzhong tried to persuade him a few words, but in the end he didn't dare to go beyond his duty. Just when he was worried, he saw a bright dragon approaching from far away outside the palace gate.

Xia Shouzhong was immediately overjoyed, in the dead of night, even if Emperor Guangde came, he would make people report first, and now the only one who drove straight in without notifying him was naturally only the Empress Dowager Niu.

as predicted.

After a while, I saw an old woman walking slowly into the hall with a cane.

"Ouch~!"

Xia Shouzhong let out an exclamation under his throat, and as he quickly stepped forward, he cursed bitterly, "How come these blind bastards don't know they're serving the Empress Dowager?!"

The old woman was naturally the Queen Mother Niu, but seeing her shook her head at Xia Shouzhong, signaling that he didn't need to step forward to help him, and then stepped up the imperial steps on her own.

Although the imperial steps were only three floors, it still made her breathing a little heavy. After a short rest, she finally came to the imperial case.

However, she did not bother the Taishang Emperor who closed her eyes and meditated, but leaned the crutch lightly on the imperial case, poured the residual tea that had cooled long ago on the ground, picked up the purple clay pot, and filled a cup tremblingly. .

click~

When the purple sand pot was put back on the tray, it knocked accidentally, which finally alarmed the Supreme Emperor. He slowly raised his eyelids and fixed his gaze on the steaming teacup. After a long while, he finally Finally stretched out his withered palm.

Just drink tea!

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly praised that the empress dowager really has a lot of face.

Unexpectedly, the Taishanghuang's movements suddenly accelerated, swung his sleeves and flicked vigorously, and swept the teacup and the tray underneath to the ground!

Dang bang~

As the teacup fell to pieces on the ground, all the waiters inside and outside Ningshou Palace seemed to have been hit by arrows on their knees at the same time, and then they all fell half short!

Only Xia Shouzhong hurriedly rushed up the imperial steps, and said with concern, "Your Majesty, you are fine..."

"roll!"

However, before his voice of concern could get out of his throat, he was blocked back by a hoarse roar.

Xia Shouzhong paused, and looked at Queen Mother Niu hesitantly.

The Queen Mother Niu was calm and tight, she only moved her chin a little, and said calmly, "You all go down."

Xia Shouzhong then led the servants out of the main hall of Ningshou Palace like a tide.

When only the husband and wife were left in the hall, the Queen Mother Niu supported the imperial case, walked around to the Supreme Emperor, sat on the dragon chair next to him, and persuaded in a calm tone, "If your Majesty has any unpleasantness, Even if you vent it out, why bother venting it out with your own body?"

"Ha ha……"

There was a sneering smile on the wrinkled old face of the Supreme Emperor, and he whispered, "'The white head is like new, and the cover is as old'. Unexpectedly, the widow is approaching old age, so I can understand the true meaning of these words."

As he spoke, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair lightly with his withered palm, and said with a sneer, "Are you sixty-seven this year? Although you are nine years later than Wu Zhao, you still have time to fight Last fight!"

Wu Zetian was enthroned as emperor at the age of 67, and the words of the Taishanghuang clearly accused the Queen Mother of Niu, wanting to learn from Wu Zetian's plan to usurp the throne and become emperor on his own.

Faced with such accusations, the Queen Mother Niu just frowned slightly, and sighed, "It turns out that His Majesty suspected that the prince's assassination case was related to the concubine."

"Although the widow is old, he is not dazzled, deaf, and confused!"

The Taishang Emperor's tone suddenly rose a few degrees, he gritted his few teeth a few times, and said angrily, "If the crown prince is really changed this time, your precious nephew will not have to spend the whole day frightened and tempted. The third brother has made up his mind!"

"You of the Niu family will be able to preserve wealth and prosperity for a long time!"

"Good calculation, really good calculation!"

"But your precious nephew hasn't thought about it? The crown prince is also my grandson, my blood and flesh relative! If you kill his offspring, you also cut off one of my bloodlines—why should I protect him?" Your family is full of cattle?!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly and opened his beard and hair, glaring ferociously at the Queen Mother Niu beside him!

The Queen Mother Niu still looked at him calmly, without the slightest fear or retreat, "If your majesty can prove that the prince's case was indeed committed by my Niu family, you might as well have my Niu family's whole family killed, and there will be no words from my concubines." complain."

"If there is no evidence, it is still believed to be the work of my Niu family. Please Your Majesty kill the whole family of the Niu family together with the concubines, and the concubines will never complain."

"you!"

After hearing these words, the Supreme Emperor became more and more annoyed, staring at the wrinkled old face of the Empress Dowager Niu, he raised his hand several times to hit her, but in the end he couldn't.

61 years, more than sixty years of staying together!

From a twenty-eight girl to a seventy-year-old girl; from guarding the frontier to going to the south of the Yangtze River nine times;

During this period, how many shared weal and woe and depended on life and death?

I'm afraid it's the same as the wrinkles on this old face, I can't count them!

And how can these fetters be broken off easily?

What's more, after 11 years of abdication, the Taishanghuang has long lost the decisiveness of the past.

"Oh~!"

With a long sigh, the Supreme Emperor slumped down on the cushion behind him, and said faintly, "The third child has always been a man of means, otherwise I would not pass the throne to him. Now someone has cut off his heir, how can he let it go?"

The Queen Mother Niu smiled slightly, and leaned her body on the shoulder of the Supreme Emperor, and said calmly, "Didn't the concubine say that if it can be proved that it was my Niu family who did it, he will kill the whole family of the Niu family, and the concubine will also refuse." Do not obstruct."

The Supreme Emperor sighed again, and then he and the Queen Mother Niu were silent, cuddling each other on the dragon chair, gradually feeling tired.

He was wandering between sleeping and not sleeping, but suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

At this time, who dares to come in and disturb?

The Supreme Emperor sat up straight in annoyance, but Xia Shouzhong came forward to report with a strange expression, "To the Supreme Emperor, someone from Qianqing Palace has sent a message that the Lord Long Live is coming to announce good news to you."

Announcement?

The Supreme Emperor unconsciously frowned, at this juncture, what happy event can there be to report?

Subconsciously, he looked back at the Queen Mother Niu, only to see that she was also full of surprise.

The Supreme Emperor hesitated for a while, and then said, "The left and right widows are not asleep yet, so just let the emperor come over."

Xia Shouzhong took the order and bowed to retreat.

The Taishanghuang was very suspicious, and wanted to discuss a few words with the Queen Mother Niu, but when he thought of the suspicion of the Niu family, he still had a grudge, so he groaned silently by himself.

"Father, Father!"

About a quarter of an hour later, there were suddenly passionate shouts from outside the hall, and then Emperor Guangde rushed in staggeringly, took a few steps forward, fell to the ground with a thud, and cried, "God bless me!" Da Zhou, God bless my royal family! That unfilial son... actually planted an heir!"

"what?!"

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then showed a helpless wry smile, but immediately turned into a look of surprise, and said anxiously, "There is such a thing?! Quickly, quickly tell the widow, what is going on !"

As he spoke, he raised his voice and ordered, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you move a chair for the emperor!"

Two young eunuchs hurriedly lifted a chair and placed it on the left side of the imperial case.

Emperor Guangde thanked him, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and sat down on a chair beaming with joy this time. Liu Luanwei, the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu, accidentally discovered that the prisoner Li Shi was suspected to be pregnant, so the five imperial physicians Together with Wang Kun, he told the whole story of the consultation.

The Supreme Emperor sighed uncontrollably, shook his head and said, "Unexpectedly, that woman ruined the prince's heir, but she became pregnant with the prince's child. It really is Xiao He's success and Xiao He's failure."

"It seems that although the heavens are not angry with the crown prince's failure of virtue, they still left room for me in the end. From this point of view, this child must be a grandson of the emperor!"

As he said that, his face sank again, and he said solemnly, "Actually, it's not just the prince who lost his morals. I heard that among the relatives and children of this clan, there are many unworthy people, such as those who bully men and women. There are those who favor concubines and destroy their wives, there are those who keep prostitutes, and there are those who set up another house!"

"I heard that there are still some women who have affairs with women outside and give birth to evil children who dare not be included in the clan roster. It is really annoying and hateful!"

"The emperor should take good care of such unscrupulous behaviors!"

After hearing this, Emperor Guangde's eyes flickered a little, but on the surface he stood up solemnly and responded, saying that he would have people secretly investigate the words and deeds of the clan's children, and those who chose to be unworthy would be severely punished.
