Detective in the Red Chamber

"I heard that the crown prince was assassinated. I haven't been safe for a day and a night. Presumably the emperor is also the same." The emperor said again, "Now that there is such good news, you should rest earlier, so as not to overwork and hurt your body."

But when he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, in the case of the assassination of the crown prince, have you ever found out who is behind the scenes?"

Emperor Guangde said with some hesitation, "Nowadays, a lot of evidence points to the second brother..."

"It won't be him!"

The Supreme Emperor said firmly without hesitation, "This is of no benefit to him—if his cronies really had such abilities, they should have rescued him long ago!"

Seeing this scene, Emperor Guangde knew that it would be impossible to take advantage of the situation and kill Prince Yizhong.

So he nodded and said, "I think so too, I have ordered Xu Furen to continue to investigate the culprit behind the scenes."

"Well, this matter must be investigated to find out the truth, and the traitor will be executed all over the house!"

The father and son said a few more words, and then Emperor Guangde got up to leave.

After watching Emperor Guangde leave, the Empress Dowager Niu, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said quietly, "Even if it comes from the descendants of the clan, it is not your blood and blood descendant after all."

"Then what do you want me to do?!"

The Supreme Emperor stood up abruptly, stared at the Queen Mother Niu condescendingly, and asked viciously, "Break through this lame lie, push him to the corner completely, and then meet his son in battle! Act out a change from the Xuanwu Gate!" Such a wonderful drama, so that it will leave an eternal infamy in the annals of history and become a joke for those sour literati?!"

After finishing these words in one breath, the Taishanghuang's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he stretched out his hand to support the imperial case, so that he did not fall down on the dragon chair slumped.

The Empress Dowager Niu remained silent for a long while, then slowly folded her palms together, and chanted the Buddha's name with lowered eyebrows, "Amitabha, God bless the emperor to find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and don't let my Niu family suffer innocent injustice."

The words are divided into two parts.

However, Emperor Guangde bumped into King Zhongshun head-on as soon as he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace.

"Go, go, go down!"

Like chasing flies, King Zhongshun dispersed all the accompanying servants. He raised the lantern and walked side by side with Emperor Guangde, and said in a low voice, "Has the old man seen any flaws?"

"flaw?"

Emperor Guangde snorted with a sullen face, "Father has never seen anything in this life, how could such a trick be hidden from him?"

"Then he..."

"According to what he means, we should acquiesce."

Emperor Guangde sneered and said, "However, I have secretly drawn a boundary for me. The seeds of Li Daitao's stiffness must be found from the royal family."

Seeing two eunuchs standing in front of him with their hands down, King Zhongshun temporarily stopped talking until he entered the bedroom, then nodded and said, "I should have looked for it from the clan, but the old man is quite reasonable this time."

"Reasonable?"

Emperor Guangde sneered and said, "It's just that I felt wronged, and I didn't want to punish the old woman, and I didn't want to get the infamy of father and son killing each other, so I just compromised for a while!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and punched the beam and pillar, and said in a hateful voice, "One day, I will destroy the Niu family and the nine clans!"

King Zhongshun followed his will, and scolded Niu Jia a few more times, but then changed the subject, and praised, "I never thought that Erlang Sun Jia would have such courage and insight at such a young age, if he hadn't figured out this in time. Once it comes out, we will be much more passive after this matter spreads in a few days."

As he spoke, he hesitated and said, "However, this kid is so bold and famous in the capital at such a young age. If he really establishes a firm foothold in the court in the future, I'm afraid it will not be a blessing for the court."

Emperor Guangde shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, I have only heard that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. When the children and grandchildren grow up, the edges and corners will be almost worn out. Besides, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren..."

He originally wanted to say that 'children and grandchildren have their own blessings', but thinking of the current situation of the prince, he couldn't help feeling sad.

At this time, King Zhongshun suddenly took out a booklet from his sleeve, and presented it respectfully with both hands, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this book!"

Emperor Guangde took the booklet with some doubts, and flipped through it casually, but saw that all the records on it were all examples of children over 50 years old, and there were even two special cases in their [-]s.

"Your Majesty has also suffered from childhood, how can you not compare to these common people?" King Zhongshun said in a timely manner, "It's just that your Majesty has a deep relationship with the emperor's wife and wife, and rarely favors other concubines. If you find a few good children If you work hard, you may not be able to give birth to another prince!"

Although Emperor Guangde didn't respond, he rubbed the booklet repeatedly, but it was obvious that he was moved.

Chapter 448

Prince's Mansion.

Now that she is 'conceived with the dragon species', it is naturally impossible to lock Mrs. Li back in that dark secret room.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong ordered people to find a relatively closed small courtyard in the back house of the Prince's Mansion, and after calling for his servants to clean it up briefly, he set up internal and external sentries in advance, and then he 'invited' Mrs. Li in.

Seeing that the arrangement was done properly, Sun Shaozong thought of the group of dragon guards under him, who hadn't had dinner yet, so he thought about finding Liu Luanwei to fight the autumn wind.

Unexpectedly, after searching inside and out, there was no trace of Liu Luanwei - when cleaning the courtyard before, he was obviously in charge of commanding, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?

While being suspicious, he saw a young eunuch coming from the gate of the courtyard. He looked inward with his head poking his head, and then shouted loudly, "May I ask who is Mr. Sun Shaozong? His Royal Highness, Mr. Sun, please come over and talk!"

Prince please?

This broken-rooted product can't heal well, why ask yourself to go there?

Sun Shaozong was suspicious, but he didn't dare to be negligent, he hurriedly ordered Yang Licai to take three general banners to guard Li's side, and then went out to greet Li and declare himself home.

After following the eunuch, he hurried all the way to the prince's residence in the north, and saw how many bright red lanterns were hanging in the spacious courtyard.

Not only that, when Sun Shaozong followed the eunuch to the hall, he saw that the maids who came in and out were all red and purple - if they didn't have bitter faces, they would have looked like some happy event.

uh~

If we single out the matter of Li Shi's pregnancy, it would be regarded as "gratifying and congratulatory"-but as a victim, there is no reason for the crown prince to celebrate with lanterns and festoons, right?

At this time, the eunuch who led the way whispered, "After Mr. Sun goes in, you must pick up the auspicious one and say that His Royal Highness is now... quite taboo now."

tsk~

This is really called deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell, hiding diseases and avoiding doctors.

Could it be that after hearing too many auspicious words and seeing the festivities in the house, he can 'keep the roots'?

"You wait here for a while, let the servants go in and report."

Sun Shaozong was slandering, the eunuch bowed, opened the curtain and walked into the room with small steps. Not long after, he heard a roar from inside, "Get in! Let that dog get out of here!"

Immediately after the sound of 'crash', the eunuch who led the way broke the bead curtain, rushed out in embarrassment, stepped aside embarrassingly, and said, "Master Sun, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please go in and talk."

Can this attitude count as 'please'?

But Sun Shaozong had vaguely guessed why the prince called him over.

And this guess, after he entered the inner room, became affirmation - Liu Luanwei was kneeling tremblingly in front of the window, with his black gauze hat tilted back, revealing the bruised and purple scar on his forehead.

Obviously, Liu Luanwei had already been called over by the prince before, and he suffered a lot.

"You are the one named Sun?!"

At this time, there was a hoarse shout from the head of the bed, Sun Shaozong raised his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eyes was a graceful and dignified young lady, no doubt she was a princess by her attire.

Although she was wrapped a little more, and she was sitting sideways, she couldn't tell what her figure was at the moment, but if it was only about facial features and skin color, this princess was obviously better than Mrs. Li - but based on what Sun Shaozong heard, then The degree and frequency of Li's 'favor' is probably ten times stronger than that of the Crown Princess.

This is probably the saying "a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief".

His gaze passed over the Crown Princess and turned slightly down, only then did Sun Shaozong see His Highness the Crown Prince lying on his back in large characters on the bed with a pale face, so he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Sun Shaozong , I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Sun Shaozong approaching to salute, the crown prince immediately stretched out his hand and scratched at the coffee table beside the bed, but before he grabbed something and threw it at him, the crown prince held him down and responded on his behalf, "My lord Sun, hurry up!" Please, now that Mr. Xu Ge is not here, everyone in this mansion will be bothered..."

"Why her!"

The prince suddenly raised his head, and asked in a hissing voice, "There are so many wives and concubines in the lonely family, why did you choose her?!"

It really is for this matter!

The crown prince wished to cut Li's family into pieces, but Sun Shaozong chose Li's as the medium of this deer, so in a short period of time, the crown prince would definitely not be able to take revenge, how could he not be annoyed?

Sun Shaozong looked sideways at Liu Luanwei at the side, then raised his head and glanced at the head of the bed, then bowed and said, "My humble minister is stupid, I really don't know what your Highness is asking, please speak clearly!"

The prince was furious, staring and roaring, "You..."

"Liu Fucheng!"

The Crown Princess suddenly raised her voice and said, "You come out with me, I have something to tell you."

As he spoke, he got up on his own, and walked out with all manners.

This princess is really clever, she can see through at a glance that Sun Shaozong doesn't want to reveal the truth in front of others.

uh~

This figure is also excellent!

But when Liu Luanwei scrambled and followed out, the prince was also a little stunned, so he restrained his anger a little bit, and asked again, "Can we talk now? Why did you choose her!"

"Report to Your Highness."

Sun Shaozong took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "The minister said to Mrs. Li before that the reason why she was chosen was to make the whole thing more dramatic and to win the trust of the common people..."

"Those mud legs believe it or not, what's the matter with Gu?!"

The prince suddenly shrugged, as if he was about to sit up, but then he collapsed with a distorted expression, baring his teeth and said, "You...you chose that...that lowly servant girl just for such a shitty reason. ?!"

"of course not!"

Sun Shaozong immediately denied it, then spread his hands with a bitter face, and said, "The reason why I chose her is because I have no choice - I am sure that the woman who has been intimate with His Highness recently is someone I can get in touch with alone. There is only Li Shi alone."

The prince was taken aback when he heard the words, but then he said angrily, "Then why don't you find Gu..."

"Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozong cupped his hands again and said, "If the minister just took the risk of 'saving the emperor's grandson', would His Highness be willing to summon the minister alone?"

The crown prince was at a loss for words, and asked himself, if Sun Shaozong hadn't acted like a deer to show his identity as a royalist, he had just been "assassinated" and he was like a frightened bird, how could he let a stranger be alone with him?

Especially Sun Shaozong has a bad reputation...

"Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozong took another two steps forward, and said earnestly, "Although I am a martial artist, I also know the truth that 'if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers; if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers; , I really dare not make extravagant branches."

"If Your Highness thinks that the minister has done something wrong, just punish the humble minister, and don't get hurt because of it."

The prince looked at his 'sincere' eyes for a while, and finally let out a long breath, and lay down on the bed slumped, apparently persuaded by Sun Shaozong.

However, he still muttered unwillingly, "Is it okay to let that lowly servant girl go like this?"

"Didn't your Highness hear that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for three years?"

Sun Shaozong immediately persuaded, "There is no need to rush for revenge. Whether you can be the 'king' is the most urgent task of Your Highness!"

"If you can rule the world, conquer the world, strive for the rest of your life, and establish a great cause that will last forever, why worry about a hundred years later, the clans in the country will not compete to claim the blood of His Highness?!"

The prince has heard so many comforting words during this day and night, but all these words added up are far less than these few words of thought for him!

Tempted to be provoked for a moment, the crown prince reached out and grabbed Sun Shaozong's wrist, and couldn't help saying, "You are the one who blamed you. If Gu Ruo really can face the north and face the south one day, Aiqing will be the first contribution!"

"Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozong was also inexplicably excited, but what he was thinking in his heart was...

oh~

This hand was wet, and it was still clenched tightly, coupled with the look in the eyes of seeing each other lately—couldn't it be that he changed his sexual orientation immediately after the root was cut off?

Chapter 449 The new 'Nurse'

"The masked man?"

"The masked man."

"No clue at all?"

"No clue at all."

The above conversation without nutrition happened No. 15 days after the solar eclipse.

After half a month of investigation, almost all the evidence points to the same person, a masked man who claims to be a partisan of Prince Yizhong. No one has seen his true face, and no one can even clearly explain his height, body shape, and voice. ...

His whole body was like a cloud of fog.

And after the cloud surge that night, the cloud of mist disappeared in silence along with the normal rising sun in the morning, and there was no trace of it.

Emperor Guangde was dissatisfied with the results of such an investigation, and Emperor Taishang was not satisfied. Even the Niu family went to the court twice, denouncing Xu Ge's incompetence for harming the country, and hoped that the court would hire another virtuous person to thoroughly investigate the case.

These are just invisible pressure of public opinion.

But what came from the prince was naked humiliation and abuse.

Yesterday afternoon, even Mr. Xu Ge, who was in such a high position, almost got a teapot from the crown prince.

The only exception is Sun Shaozong, who has settled his feud with His Highness the Crown Prince—in fact, in the past few days, he has often been summoned by the Crown Prince alone to discuss some high opinions that make "Qin Emperor and Han Wulu lose literary talent, Tang Zong and Song Zu are less coquettish" .
