Detective in the Red Chamber

Thinking in this way, Sun Shaozong asked King Zhongshun for some details, but in the end he got nothing.

This dry donkey's lip was not right, and he talked for a long time, and when the candles were lit all around, the old face of King Zhongshun became more and more gloomy, and Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while.

special girl~

Are those inner guards belong to the tortoise?

Why haven't you come back after so long? !

While staring wide-eyed in the hall, I suddenly heard another burst of noise outside, and then I heard someone outside yelling in a melodious tone, "The empress is here."

Is the empress here? !

Didn't it mean that since the falling out with Emperor Guangde, the empress has been staying behind closed doors at Kunning Palace, why did she suddenly come to Yongning Palace? !

Chapter 561 The Rescue Sent by the Prince

the third

King Zhongshun took the lead, and Sun Shaozong and Qin Ming followed from left to right.

After leaving Mingde Hall, I saw a dozen palace ladies and eunuchs holding lanterns and guards of honor on the square in front of the hall, surrounded by a four-person shouldered sedan chair, climbing up the steps.

King Zhongshun continued to go forward, but Sun Shaozong and Qin Ming couldn't continue to follow, so they stopped on the steps and bowed down to wait for the Queen's arrival.

It wasn't until the shoulder car stopped not far away that the two of them went forward to pay respects, "Chen Shun Tianfu Zhizhong Sun Shaozong Tai Hospital Qin Ming, please pay respects to Empress Empress Jin An."

The queen over there didn't see any reaction yet, but she heard King Zhongshun sighed, "I haven't seen you for two months, and the emperor's wife seems to be a few years older--after a while, I will go to persuade your majesty, this old man Old wife, what else can't be resolved?"

Still did not hear the Queen's reply, but the sound of footsteps was from near to far. Not long after, a pair of plain embroidered shoes with thin soles appeared in front of Sun Shaozong.

Immediately afterwards, a hand was placed on Sun Shaozong's shoulder again, trying to pull him up, and at the same time, a kind and slightly hoarse voice came to Sun Shaozong's ears, "Good boy, get up and let me take a look."

At this time, the only one who is qualified to speak and claims to be the Queen is naturally the only one.

Although he is a traverser with a weak sense of hierarchy, Sun Shaozong was a little flattered to be personally supported by the queen of the mother world. He hurriedly stood up with the force involved, but he didn't dare to look up, so he had to bow like a shrimp. body.

But the queen said half to reproach and half to encourage, "Since I am such a good boy, why can't I stand upright?"

Who would want to bow in front of others if he could straighten his back?

So hearing what the queen said, Sun Shaozong immediately raised his chest and looked up, looking like he was looking forward to being a hero.

At the same time, he finally saw the Queen's appearance clearly.

This is a woman who is over half a hundred years old. In terms of temperament, she is somewhat similar to the old lady in Rongguo Mansion, but she looks younger, and her demeanor and speech are more calm.

It's just that although she is smiling warmly now, she still can't erase the gloom between her brows.

Thinking about it, the only biological son became a eunuch, and the husband mobilized everyone to want a second child. Faced with such a situation, which woman can take it calmly?

While Sun Shaozong was sizing up the empress, the empress also took a closer look at Sun Shaozong, and then tsk-tsk praised, "Sure enough, you are worthy of being the queen of the general family. What's more, you still have a lot of strategy. No wonder you have reached the fourth rank at a young age."

"Your Majesty is absurd."

"Whether it's a false praise or not, I understand in my heart."

The queen and the queen are elderly, and she didn't shy away from anything. She directly took Sun Shaozong's hand, patted and said, "The princess has praised you several times in front of me. I have long wanted to see you, but I just heard it today." Said the emperor kept you in the palace, so I just stopped by to have a look."

Before Sun Shaozong could speak, she asked again, "I heard that you are going to the south to quell the rebellion recently? It is of course great to be able to make military contributions to the court, but if you want to stay and benefit the people of one side, this promise is a big capital, isn't it? Is it still not enough for you?"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong finally understood why the queen came to Yongning Palace suddenly—it turned out that the prince had invited the soldiers to rescue him.

It is estimated that the prince really thought that he had no choice but to leave the capital because of being forced, so he specially asked his mother to come forward to support him.

It's just that in this way, Sun Shaozong was in a dilemma.

In front of the queen, how could he say that he wanted to leave the capital on his own initiative, so as to avoid the chaotic situation of seizing the heir?

But if he said against his will that he wanted to stay, with the Queen's influence in the court, he might not have the chance to let her out in the past few years.

Niang Xipi's!

Sooner or later, I will be cheated to death by this prince, this pig teammate!

Slandering in his heart, Sun Shaozong pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said generously, "Returning to your mother, the minister is just a brick of the court, whether it is built on the wall to support the beams and pillars, or to suppress the weeds in the yard. Let the Holy One and the elders make the decision!"

At this time, we can only use false and empty rhetoric to support it.

Hearing this, the queen took another careful look at him, then laughed and said, "You are indeed a smart one, no wonder that little girl from the Lin family called you a bear skin and a fox heart."

Oops!

Judging from this, the queen seems to have seen through her thoughts.

but……

Looking at the queen's appearance, it doesn't look like she wants to expose herself.

While Sun Shaozong was apprehensive, he couldn't help but wonder, how did Lin Daiyu's evaluation when he was in Yangzhou spread to the palace?

Probably seeing Sun Shaozong's suspicion, the queen smiled slightly and said, "When Concubine Xiande first entered the palace, she was assigned to this palace. Although she became a concubine later, she often went to talk with me."

It turned out that I heard it from Concubine Xiande - no need to ask, it must be Jia Baoyu who spread this word into the palace!

This kid seems to write letters to Jia Yuanchun every once in a while, and he has to talk about every detail.

In other words, he wouldn't be a sister-con, would he?

uh~

Considering the existence of Lin Daiyu, he should belong to the "sister control".

Just as her thoughts were wandering, thinking about something, the queen explained kindly, "Since you have an imperial errand, I don't want to bother you too much—if anything goes wrong in the palace, you might as well let me know." Someone go to Kunning Palace to inform."

As she said that, she took two steps back, and with the support of the two maids, she got on the shoulder chair again.

"Congratulations to the Empress Empress and Sister-in-law."

While everyone shouted in unison, the shoulders were firmly supported by four eunuchs, and surrounded by a group of court ladies, they gradually drifted away, and finally were completely hidden in the night.

And it wasn't until the lights could no longer be seen that King Zhongshun turned his head with a livid face and strode back to Mingde Hall.

Apparently, he was furious at the self-defeating just now—from the beginning to the end, the queen never glanced at him or responded to him.

But it's no wonder, who asked him to be the first to suggest that the emperor and his concubines have a second child to replace the prince?

Sun Shaozong felt a little gloating in his heart, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed. Before the queen came, the scene was already very embarrassing, and now King Zhongshun is suffocating again...

Hey~

It is reasonable to say that there is no taboo to investigate the case according to the order, but who would have provoked such a dead star!

Sighing secretly, Sun Shaozong was about to invite Qin Ming to follow him in, when he saw many people coming shadowily under the steps.

He squinted his eyes, then looked at the light, but it was the inner guard who had gone to escort the prisoner back.

Now I don't have to stare inside!

Sun Shaozong heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly went up to meet him, but when he got closer, he saw that the headed inner guard had a lot of blood on his body, and he couldn't help but suspiciously said, "You are..."

"Back to Master Qianhu."

The inner guard hurriedly bent his back to [-] degrees, and respectfully said, "On the way back, there were two death row prisoners who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and even intended to take the common people as hostages. In desperation, they had no choice but to execute them on the spot."

Originally, the inner guard should be under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Prefecture, but in the current situation, how dare Emperor Guangde use the people of Nanzhen Prefecture to protect himself?

So these internal guards in front of them are all from Beizhen Fusi.

Since he was one of his own people, and he heard that he just killed two death row prisoners who were about to escape, Sun Shaozong skipped over this nonsense, and asked directly, "How many did you bring here?"

"Originally, ten death row prisoners and ten private prostitutes were selected."

That is to say, there are still eight small... er, eight old white mice left, which should be enough.

Besides, there are only a few dozen pills of Leopard Taiyi Jin Wan in stock, if there are too many people, there may not be enough for them.

So Sun Shaozong immediately ordered, "You wait here first, and then escort the person in after I have informed the prince."

As he spoke, he hurried to the Mingde Hall, called the eunuch on duty, asked him to pass the dishes to the imperial dining room, and asked the remaining imperial physicians and internal guards to prepare powder and spices.

After everything was arranged, Sun Shaozong entered inside and reported the cause and effect to King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun didn't think so, but it was Chen Banxia who couldn't help but jumped out and questioned, "Master Sun, are you going to let them test the properties of the medicine in Mingde Hall? This... this is for the concubine in the palace Is it inappropriate to blatantly mess up the palace like this?!"

"What else should I do?"

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, and said helplessly, "There are too many things to try, and it's not good to move them all out of the palace—besides, His Majesty authorized me to investigate the case in Yongning Palace. of what?"

And King Zhongshun was used to holding open-ended meetings, so why would he care about watching a live erotic palace?

Immediately said impatiently, "What are the ink stains, hurry up and call someone in to stack a piece, I want to see what tricks you can do!"

Chapter 562 Clinical Trial [Part [-]]

"Eat, eat, eat quickly!"

"Every dish must be tasted, and there must be no omissions!"

"Damn it, murder and arson are all clean and tidy, eating a meal is such a pain in the ass!"

As the night darkened, the shouts and cursing in front of Mingde Hall kept coming and going.

Under the urging of the shouts, the four death row prisoners each occupied a high-end banquet table, and were desperately eating according to the case, the soup was dripping and their faces were greasy.

There are also four other death row prisoners who are temporarily on standby so that after the first wave of testing is over, details can be adjusted and improved according to the situation halfway through.

With his hands behind his back, Sun Shaozong inspected the dining table back and forth, but the main point of observation was the half-century old man on the west side.

As the saying goes, 'the old in the rivers and lakes, but the timid'.

It can't be said that there are no people who dare to come out to commit crimes when they are old, but there are far fewer people who are serious enough to be beheaded than young people.

Therefore, even if Sun Shaozong specifically explained it, there were only three of the eight death row prisoners, and they were over fifty years old—and in line with the principle that good steel should be used on the blade, Sun Shaozong arranged two of them in the the second echelon.

The only old man in the first echelon is haggard and short in stature. Although he has been hungry and full for several days, his appetite is still limited. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to support himself. Vomit.

"You are so old..."

"okay."

The inner guard of the overseer even scolded him, but Sun Shaozong waved his hand to stop him, then pointed to some of the relatively complete vegetarian dishes, and said, "Keep these few dishes, and take the rest."

Before the little eunuch came forward to clean up the leftovers, the two imperial physicians rushed forward, rubbing the old man's stomach, and taking his pulse to record his physical condition.

The 'Baotai Yijin Pill' must be taken before meals, and it takes about half an hour after meals for the effects of the medicine to gradually dissipate, so Tai Yimen has a lot of time to help them digest the food.

If it weren't for this, Sun Shaozong would not have dared to arrange for a few death row prisoners to overeat - how can they do homework when they are all so full of energy?

"Brother Sun."

At this time, Qin Ming leaned forward and reminded in a low voice, "It's actually useless to keep these few dishes - when His Majesty usually eats, I'm afraid they may not eat as much as them."

That's true, the emperor has never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas?

How can it be possible to be like a small family, who can't get enough of good food?

"where……"

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then asked, "Does Your Majesty have any favorite dishes?"

"Even if you like it, you can just eat two more bites."

Qin Ming shook his head, and added, "That's why when I tried the medicine, I only told them to taste everything, and I didn't force them to eat all the dishes."

It seems that he really wanted to go wrong.

If it is really a large dose, it will cause a chemical reaction. Isn't this method of poisoning like a stroke of luck?

So Sun Shaozong changed his words and ordered the little eunuch to replace all the meals.

Dang bang~

At this moment, the condemned prisoner on the next table suddenly threw his rice bowl on the ground, and the fine white porcelain tableware was smashed to pieces.

When the bystanders were stunned by this, they saw the death row prisoner slumped lazily on his chair, and said with a wanton smile, "Happy, happy, I don't want my grandfather to taste the food and wine eaten by the emperor before he dies!"

As he spoke, he slammed his legs up on the table and yelled loudly, "What about the person who rubbed Grandpa's stomach? Why don't you hurry up and serve him!"

This arrogant one is even more impressive than King Zhongshun in it.

"Hey, you're a bitch!"

At this moment, the inner guard in charge of the work finally came to his senses, and he put his hand on his waist knife in annoyance, and stepped forward to kick him to the ground.
