【Third Update】
King Zhongshun led the way, and Sun Shaozong and Qin Ming followed behind.
After leaving Mingde Hall, I saw a dozen eunuchs with lanterns and guards of honor on the square in front of the hall, surrounded by a four-person shoulder trousers and climbing up the steps.
King Zhongshun continued to greet him, but Sun Shaozong and Qin Ming could not continue to follow, so they both stopped on the steps and bowed to wait for the arrival of the queen.
It wasn't until the shoulders stopped not far away that the two of them stepped forward to pay homage: "My minister Shun Tianfu, the middle Sun Shaozong [Qin Ming of the Taiyuan Hospital], asks the Queen's concubine Jin'an."
The queen over there hasn't seen any reaction yet, but she heard King Zhongshun sigh: "I haven't seen each other for two months, and the queen's sister-in-law seems to be a few years old-after a while, the younger brother will go to persuade Your Majesty, this old man Old wife, what else can't be resolved?"
He still didn't hear the Queen's reply, but the footsteps were coming from near to far. After a while, 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, trying to pull him to get up. At the same time, a kind and slightly hoarse voice also entered Sun Shaozong's ears: "Good boy, get up and let this palace take a look."
At this time, the only one who is qualified to speak, and who also calls himself the Palace, is naturally the Queen.
Although he was a traveler with a weak sense of hierarchy, Sun Shaozong was a little flattered by being 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 prawn. body.
However, the Queen said, half resentment and half encouragement: "Since I am such a good man, why can't I stand up straight?"
Who wants to bow in front of people if they can straighten their backs
Therefore, after hearing the Queen's words, Sun Shaozong immediately raised his chest and raised his head, as if he was looking forward to arrogance.
At the same time, he finally saw the appearance of the queen.
This is a woman who is over fifty years old. In terms of temperament, she is somewhat similar to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, but she is younger, and her demeanor and speech are more calm.
It's just that although she is smiling genially now, she still can't erase the sullen look between her brows.
Thinking about it, the only biological son became a eunuch, and the husband wanted to have a second child. In the face of such a situation, how could any woman be at ease
Just as Sun Shaozong looked at the queen, the queen also took a closer look at Sun Shaozong, and then praised: "As expected, he is the queen of the door, and even more happy is that he still has a lot of strategy. No wonder he sat on the fourth rank at such a young age."
"The maiden praised me miserably."
"Whether it's a false praise, Ben Gong understands in his heart."
The Empress was old, and she didn't shy away from anything, she took Sun Shaozong's hand and patted it: "The Crown Princess has complimented you several times in front of me. I heard that the emperor left you in the palace, and this palace also stopped by to take a look."
Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to speak, she asked again: "I heard that you are going to the south to quell the rebellion recently? It's natural to be able to make military contributions to the court, but if you want to stay and benefit the people of one party, this promises to be a big capital. Can't I tolerate you?"
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong finally understood why the queen suddenly came to Yongning Palace - it turned out to be the rescuer invited by the prince.
It is estimated that the prince really thought that he was forced to leave the capital, so he specially asked his mother to come forward to support him.
Only 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 this chaotic situation of seizing the throne
But if you say against your heart that you want to stay, with the Queen's influence in the court, I am afraid that in recent years, I will not have the opportunity to go out at all.
Niang Xipi's!
Sooner or later, I will be killed by this prince and this pig teammate!
He slandered in his heart, but Sun Shaozong pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "Reporting to the maiden, this minister is just a brick in the court, whether it is built on the wall to support beams and pillars, or to suppress the weeds in the yard, naturally It's all up to the saints and the patriarchs to decide!"
At this time, I can only use false Dakong's rhetoric to top it off.
Hearing the words, the queen looked at him carefully, and then laughed: "Sure enough, she is smart, no wonder that little girl from the Lin family said you are a bear skin and a fox heart."
Oops!
Hearing this, the queen seems to have seen through her own thoughts.
but…
Looking at the Queen's appearance, it doesn't seem like she wants to dismantle herself.
While Sun Shaozong was apprehensive, he couldn't help but wonder, how did Lin Daiyu's comments when he was in Yangzhou spread to the palace
Perhaps seeing Sun Shaozong's suspicion, the queen smiled again and said, "When Concubine Xiande first entered the palace, she was assigned to this palace. Later, although she became a concubine, she often went to talk to me."
It turned out to be from Concubine Xiande—don't ask, it must be Jia Baoyu who passed 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-in-law, would he
uh~
Considering Lin Daiyu's existence, he should belong to the 'sister control'.
Just as his thoughts were scattered randomly, thinking about some things, the Queen explained kindly: "Since you have an appointed errand, I don't want to disturb you much—if you encounter anything in the palace that doesn't go well, you might as well let me Go to Kunning Palace and let me know."
Saying that, she took two steps back, and with the support of the two palace maids, she got on the shoulder again.
"Respectfully send the Queen's Empress [Imperial Sister-in-law]."
While everyone shouted in unison, the shoulders were firmly held on the shoulders by the four eunuchs, and surrounded by a group of court ladies, they gradually drifted away, and finally they were completely hidden in the night.
And it wasn't until the lights were no longer in sight that King Zhongshun turned his head with a livid face and strode back to the Mingde Hall.
Obviously, he was angry at his self-inflicted humiliation - from beginning to end, the queen never looked at him, or responded to him even half a word.
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 sulking again...
ah~
It is reasonable to say that there are no taboos to investigate the case in a good way, but who would have thought that such a mourning star would be provoked!
With a secret sigh, Sun Shaozong was waiting to greet Qin Ming to follow along, when he saw a lot of people coming under the steps.
Squinting, and then looking at the light, the inner guard who went to escort the prisoner came back.
Now you don't have to stare at it!
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked up to meet him. Who knew that when he got close, he saw a lot of blood on the head of the inner guard, and he couldn't help but suspiciously said: "You are..."
"Go back to Lord Qianhu."
The inner guard hurriedly bent his waist to a 60-degree angle, and said respectfully, "On the way back, there were two prisoners on death row who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and they also intended to take the people as hostages. "
Originally, the inner guard was supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhen government department, but in this situation, how could Emperor Guangde dare to use the people of the Nanzhen government department to protect himself
Therefore, these inner guards in front of them are also the people of Beizhen Fusi.
Since he was his own, and he heard that he just killed two prisoners who were about to escape, Sun Shaozong skipped over the issue 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 little... uh, there are still eight old guinea pigs left, which should be enough.
Besides, the Leopard Embryo Yijin Pill only has dozens of pills in stock. If there are too many people, it may not be enough.
So Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "You guys wait here first, and I will escort people in after I tell the prince."
Having said that, he hurried to the front of Mingde Hall, and called the eunuch on duty, and told him to pass the dishes to the imperial dining room, and asked the remaining eunuchs and inner guards to prepare the powder and spices.
After all this was arranged, Sun Shaozong entered inside and reported the cause and effect to King Zhongshun.
King Zhongshun didn't think so, but Chen Banxia couldn't help but jumped out and questioned: "Master Sun, do you want to let them test the medicinal properties in Mingde Hall? This... This is the concubine in the palace. The residence, such a blatant chaos of the palace is probably not suitable, right?!"
"What 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 outside the palace. Besides, Your Majesty authorized me to investigate the case in Yongning Palace. As long as it is to find out the truth, a little bit counts. what?"
And King Zhongshun was used to holding open-air conventions, so why would he care about watching a live erotic palace
Impatiently said: "What is the ink mark, hurry up and call someone in to stack a piece, this king wants to see, what tricks you can play!"
