rumbling rumbling...

Seeing that the iron door of the secret room slowly opened, Liu Luanwei hurriedly leaned his shoulders flatteringly, and respectfully inquired, "Did Master Sun ask anything..."

Who would have guessed that when he was halfway through, he saw Sun Shaozong come out from the inside with a livid complexion. The ink Jiao swallowing cloud robe was sticky, and he didn't know what disgusting things were on it.

"Sir, are you?"

"Unlucky, really bad luck!"

Sun Shaozong said indignantly: "This official is attacking from the side, forcing her to say nothing. Who knows that this woman is so excited that she suddenly vomits!"

As he said that, he couldn't help retching. He covered his nose and said in a gruff voice, "Liu Fucheng, is there any place to wash up around here?"

The little ladies listened to this, and couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

However, Liu Luanwei did not dare to be negligent. He endured the sultry breath and continued: "There happens to be a bath near here, and I will lead the adults over here..."

"Not urgent."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "I would like to ask Liu Fucheng to send someone to call the driver of this official, so that I can explain to him to get some clothes for washing."

Of course, Liu Luanwei would not refuse such a trivial matter. He hurriedly called a few maids from nearby, and assigned one to lead Zhang Cheng in, while the others surrounded Sun Shaozong and went to the bathroom in the southwest corner of the back garden.

Although this bath is also beautifully decorated, there is still a small fountain in the middle, but it is still much worse than the wine pool and meat forest on the palace of King Zhongshun.

Sun Shaozong took off his official robe by the bath, and let the maids wash it first. After waiting for Zhang Cheng to arrive in a hurry, he whispered a few words, and then went down to the pool and washed himself.

Those maids also wanted to help, but at this juncture, Sun Shaozong wouldn't dare to make extra troubles, and he would refuse them one by one.

After soaking in the pool for about half an hour, Sun Shaozong didn't dress up again until Zhang Cheng brought over the spare official robe.

"Master Sun."

Almost as soon as Sun Shaozong was ready, Liu Luanwei appeared out of nowhere and said respectfully, "Do you want to continue investigating the case next, or have dinner first..."

"Naturally continue to investigate the case!"

Sun Shaozong touched the hard small porcelain bottle in the sleeve and said loudly, "Let's go, and then accompany me to the first trial of Mrs. Li."

"Do you still want to go to trial Li?"

"how?"

Sun Shaozong's face sank, and he said displeasedly, "Does this official look like someone who would give up halfway?"

"No no no!"

As a guilty person, Liu Luanwei is now pointing at the members of the 'special task force'. How can he say something nice on the memorial, seeing that Sun Shaozong is a little unhappy, how can he dare to say more

In a hurry, he led Sun Shaozong to the secret room.

This time, there was no need for Sun Shaozong to drive people out, and the little eunuchs consciously avoided the outside.

The filth that Li Shi had spit out had been cleaned up at this time, and even the clothes were changed, but there was still a sour smell in the air.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside again, Mrs. Li's expression was extremely complicated, angry, ashamed...

But most of them are still confused and confused.

Sun Shaozong smiled at her, stepped forward and took off the chew.

"What the hell do you want to do?!"

This time, Mrs. Li couldn't care about swallowing saliva, and immediately gave a coquettish scolding, and only sprayed the mouth.

Sun Shaozong took a half step back, avoiding the saliva, and said indifferently: "Didn't I say it? I want you to live, and live well."

With that said, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, unscrewed the cork wrapped with red silk, and poured out a black pill the size of a peanut in front of Mr. Li.

After thinking about it, I felt that this thing was not easy to swallow, so I took half a cup of residual tea from the table, and brought it to Li Shi's mouth together with the pills, coaxing a child: "Come on, take this medicine first. already."

"This... what kind of medicine is this?!"

Li shrank his neck back and asked sternly, "What on earth are you trying to do?!"

"This medicine is no big deal."

Sun Shaozong shrugged and said indifferently, "It just gives you a little bit of leverage to bargain in front of Your Majesty—if you're smart enough, you might be able to temporarily keep Prince Yizhong from dying."

This is easy to say, but how could Mrs. Lee believe it

Just as he was about to refute Sun Shaozong's absurd remarks, he heard him say again: "Why, do you think that I dare to blatantly poison you to kill you? Or, you would rather procrastinate like this until death, rather than get a chance to win for the sake of Prince Yizhong. Bundle?"

Li was stunned.

After a long while, he slowly opened the cherry mouth and motioned to Sun Shaozong to feed himself the pill.

Sun Shaozong was naturally impolite, and immediately put the pill into Li's mouth and poured her a few sips of tea.

Li Shi only felt that the pill was spicy and greasy, but it made him feel very nauseous just taking it.

In this way, she still felt uncomfortable tightness in her throat, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and couldn't help but ask again: "This... What the hell is this?"

"Emetic medicine."

Sun Shaozong did not hide it this time.

"Emetic medicine?"

"That's right, using this thing will guarantee that you will retire continuously for the past two or three days, and you will vomit whatever you eat."

Sun Shaozong paused for a while when he said this, and then said word by word: "It's like being pregnant!"

"You... are you crazy?!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes widened, and she blurted out questioning: "This kind of trick, not to mention the imperial physicians, I am afraid that even the little eunuchs who are in charge of guarding can't hide it!"

"It's just that you can't hide it."

Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to sit in front of the square table and said, "If only a few people can see through this method, as the initiator, wouldn't I be waiting to be killed and silenced?"

Li felt that he was facing an unreasonable madman, and couldn't help laughing and crying: "Since you know that this trick can't be hidden from others, what's the point of doing this?"

"That's why you're ignorant."

Sun Shaozong took a look at his pocket watch, and said, "It's still a while before the drug's effect starts. Why don't I tell you a story?"

After speaking, without waiting for Li's answer, he said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a king who liked fancy clothes very much, and one day two liars offered themselves, saying that they could make a kind of magical clothes, which only smart people can do. See… "

At first, Mr. Li was inexplicable, but then his expression gradually became solemn.

In the end, Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "The king's new clothes can still make all officials and people feel chilled, not to mention the unwarranted child in your belly, which is related to His Majesty's imperial lineage, the national fortune of Da Zhou, and the world. of hundreds of millions of people!"

"Among the hundreds of officials right now, although there are many people who want to profit from chaos, the vast majority of them are looking forward to peace in the world."

"As for the commoners, the royal affairs are just a hilarious novelty."

"The prince's concubine was forcibly occupied by the prince. After three years of hard work, he finally bit off the prince's dragon root in one fell swoop. Then he unexpectedly discovered that he was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood - there is something more bizarre and absurd than this story. What? If they don't believe this, what else can they believe?"

"So even if someone dares to take the risk of the world and expose the truth of this matter in the face of His Majesty's thunderous wrath, they will only be drowned in those voices who pretend to be confused and pretend to understand! "

"unless… "

"The Emperor Taishang really wants to meet His Majesty in a military battle, leaving behind the eternal infamy of a father and son cannibalizing each other!"

Li shi was stunned for a long time after hearing these words, and after a long while, he finally regained his strength, and asked with a complicated expression: "What about me? Why should I cooperate with your tricks to help the faint-hearted gentleman and... and that shameless beast. !"

"Didn't I say it, this is a bargaining chip for you."

Sun Shaozong said with a serious face: "A kind of dragon root that made you bite off His Royal Highness, not only can you continue to live, but also a bargaining chip to help Prince Yizhong live!"

Thanks to the book friend 'Iron Man' for the reward.
