Detective in the Red Chamber

Suddenly, there were a few soft noises from outside the door, and the threatening princess almost cut her wrist.

Before she had time to think about it, she hurriedly stuffed the object into the bottom of the cabinet, and then filled it up indiscriminately.

"What's up?!"

Although he took a few deep breaths, how could the throbbing in his heart be easily calmed down?

This opening response was actually hoarse and low, trembling endlessly.

Fortunately, through the screen and the door, Zou Qingyun didn't hear very clearly from outside, so she just reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Princess Beijing is here, and now she is waiting in the flower hall."

Wei Ying is here?

After thinking for a while, the crown princess guessed that she was probably ordered by her husband to inquire about Mr. Xu Ge's gift giving.

Because this matter is related to the Beijing King's family—especially the attitude of Zhao Rongheng, the censor of the right capital, it is not good to see him.

Therefore, the Crown Princess tried her best to calm down and rushed to the flower hall accompanied by a group of maids.

Contrary to the irresistible coquettishness of the Crown Princess, Princess Wei Ying of Beijing seems to have lost a lot of clarity recently, and her speech is not as sharp as in the past, but rather weak.

Although there was some unhappiness at the beginning, in the past two years, Wei Ying, as the bond between the two families, often visited the house. Not only has the relationship between the two sisters recovered, but they have even become closer.

Seeing her like this, the Crown Princess couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is my sister sick? Have you seen the imperial doctor?"

"It's not that I'm sick, it's just...it's just that I don't have much appetite recently."

These evasive words naturally aroused the princess's doubts even more, and she was waiting for some half-truths and half-false reproaches, so she was forced to tell the truth.

Wei Ying, however, changed the subject first: "I heard that Mr. Xu Ge came to Beijing this time and brought a gift for His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know if it's true?"

Hearing her asking about the serious matter, the Crown Princess couldn't be bothered to delve into the trivial matters, so she hurriedly said solemnly: "I just heard about it, as for whether it's true or not..."

She turned her head and asked Zou Qingyun: "Go to the front and ask, see if Mr. Sun has ever visited the door."

"Return to the empress."

Zou Qingyun hurriedly bowed and said: "Just now, this servant got the news that Mr. Sun has indeed come to the door with a gift, and now he is discussing matters with His Highness in the front hall."

Hearing that Sun Shaozong had come to the door, the princess concubine thought about all the things that happened in the half-dream and half-awake last night, and her face felt a little hot, but fortunately she put on some powder before going out, so as not to show her feet.

She forced herself to restrain herself, turned around and was about to continue the topic just now, but suddenly saw Wei Ying's face was as white as rice paper, without any trace of blood, and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister, this is..."

"Ouch~!"

Before finishing speaking, Wei Ying covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, retching for a while.

But she said that she came here this time because she was ordered to inquire about the relationship between Mr. Xu Ge and the prince. Who would have thought that she would run into the magic star again?

At this moment, when he suddenly heard the words Mr. Sun, the scene of that day immediately came back to his mind, and he felt something filthy stuck between his lips and teeth, causing his stomach to churn.

Although she didn't spit out anything, seeing the painful appearance, the Crown Princess was still very worried, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly get some almond milk that I usually use, and help Sister Wei to suppress it!"

Unexpectedly, when the almond dew was served, Wei Ying felt like seeing a snake and scorpion, but she vomited even more.

After jumping around for a long time, Wei Ying finally stopped retching, and explained with a forced smile: "Young lady, don't blame me, I... I have a stomach problem recently, and I always... always retch like this , but nothing comes out."

Hearing what she said, the princess suddenly had a strange look on her face, her eyes slowly lowered, she stared at Wei Ying's flat belly, and asked tentatively, "Isn't my sister...pregnant?"

"impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Ying seemed to have been stabbed hard in the heart by someone, jumped up angrily and anxiously, and flatly denied: "It is absolutely impossible!"

The princess was taken aback by her fierce reaction, and felt a little baffled. The King of Beijing Jing had no children. If Wei Ying could conceive, it would be a great joy, but how could she...

At this time, Wei Ying also felt that she was overreacting, so she sat back and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me, my lord, I just... just..."

How could she think of a suitable reason all of a sudden?

This hesitant to speak, on the contrary, seemed even more weird.

Fortunately, at this time, a court lady rushed in and resolved the embarrassing situation for her - but what the court lady reported made Wei Ying at a loss.

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Sun have already arrived outside the gate of the courtyard, and they seem to be having a banquet here!"

The villain!

But how can I avoid him anywhere? !

Chapter 830 Fortune and Misfortune [Part [-]]

[I overestimated my own strength. I thought I could make seven or eight thousand today, but I didn't expect it to be only five thousand. 】

Two quarters of an hour ago, the front hall of the Prince's Mansion.

Hearing Sun Shaozong's sudden words of "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other", the prince couldn't help straightening his back, but he couldn't straighten his back, so he had to grab the handrail in embarrassment to use his strength, and finally sat upright.

He frowned suspiciously: "What does Ai Qing mean?"

"Your Highness."

Seeing the crown prince sitting upright, Sun Shaozong got up and continued: "Old Xu Ge is willing to help His Highness, which is of great benefit to Your Highness, but with Xu Ge's status in the court, it is inevitable that His Highness will be attracted by such a big show of attitude. Come to be suspicious, if there is any negligence at that time, disaster will definitely not be far away!"

This empty talk and intimidation, let alone a shrewd and capable person, even if it is a bastard, will definitely not have any effect.

But the crown prince was always stern, and recently he was frightened into a bird of fright by the news that the abolished reserve was set up separately.

At this time, I only heard the words "big disaster is not far away", so I panicked first, and then I didn't care about the emperor's dominance. Wouldn’t it be enough if you just say it? Why did you find Aiqing with great fanfare and make everyone know about it!”

I don't know how Xu Furen will react when he sees his face.

But this is not a bad thing for Sun Shaozong - since the crown prince has already been counseled, it will be more effective to persuade him to stabilize his growth and not to waste money.

"His Royal Highness be careful."

Sun Shaozong cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xu Ge has a heart of fists after all. He only wants to protect His Highness's position as the heir apparent, and he doesn't intend to put you in danger."

After a pause, he added: "What Your Highness has to do now is to continue to remain calm and upright, and must not be negligent because of changes in the situation."

"It's just a matter of course."

The prince heard him repeating the old saying, but he became a little impatient, and couldn't help complaining: "But if Gu endures like this, can he keep the position of the crown prince?"

"Even so, it may not be possible to keep it."

Sun Shaozong shook his head, and waited until the crown prince was furious, before adding another sentence: "But if His Highness acts rashly, he will definitely not be able to keep his reserve position!"

The prince suddenly sat down on the chair again like a deflated ball, panting heavily.

For a moment, both the monarch and his subjects were speechless, only the smell of urine pervaded the living room—when the crown prince stomped his feet just now, he probably vibrated his sphincter again.

For a long time, seeing that the crown prince was only concerned about being decadent and had no intention of opening his mouth at all, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to take the initiative to confide in the follow-up words he had prepared: "Your Highness, how can there be a perfect solution to the battle for the throne since ancient times? For today's plan, All His Highness can do is 'uphold integrity and be filial'."

This is still a cliché. It might have worked two years ago, but now it is difficult for the prince to cheer up.

So Sun Shaozong continued: "There is no need to say more about being upright. Is this filial piety? I heard that the emperor and the empress are not at peace. As a son of man, His Highness should try to make up for it, so that His Majesty will have no worries, and His Highness will have something to rely on." .”

Hearing this, the crown prince finally had some reaction, and he sighed heavily, and said in annoyance: "Do you think the queen mother didn't speak for Gu? But because of this, she and the emperor are separated!"

"Your Highness misunderstood."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the Empress would change His Majesty's mind, and I even hoped that the Empress would never get involved in the crown prince dispute no matter in the open or in the dark."

"What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty's every move in the palace must not be hidden from you, so make more mistakes, and do less mistakes."

"what!"

The prince sneered, rolled up his sleeves and said impatiently: "Since the queen mother can't do anything, what's the use of persuading her to reconcile with the emperor?"

It really is Tianjia boneless.

To persuade my parents to reconcile, I have to think about what benefits I have...

Sun Shaozong resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and continued to explain: "Your Majesty and the Empress have been in love for more than thirty years. How can the love be compared with others?"

"If Your Majesty obeys her son and disobeys her husband, His Majesty can abandon the relationship between husband and wife; if Your Majesty shows an attitude of uprightness and non-envy, how can Your Majesty completely ignore the relationship between husband and wife?"

"As long as His Majesty is hesitant, Mr. Xu Ge and his ministers will have room to move around and wait for the opportunity to run for His Majesty."

Hearing this, the prince immediately forgot his impatience just now, got up from the chair, stepped forward and took Sun Shaozong's arm and said: "Aiqing is really resourceful, but I don't know if there is any other clever tricks that I want to teach you?! "

"Is this."

Sun Shaozong pretended to think for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "While your Highness is upright, if you can make achievements in scholarly society and people's livelihood, it will definitely be of great benefit to stabilizing your position."

The prince was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "Didn't Aiqing just say to let the lonely town be quiet? How can you make something of yourself?"

"The serenity I said is not to do nothing, but not to act recklessly - so the two can go hand in hand and cannot be refuted."

The prince was still a little confused, but he didn't bother to care about it, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Forget it, Ai Qing just needs to tell Gu how to behave."

"This……"

Sun Shaozong pretended to be hesitant again, and finally shook his head and said: "I haven't made up my mind yet, Your Highness might as well call Uncle Guo, Zhao Yushi and others to discuss a safe strategy together."

To be honest, it's not that Sun Shaozong doesn't have ready-made ideas, it's just that everything must be done absolutely, and he must always give others some opportunities to show himself.

The prince didn't know the twists and turns, and when he heard that he had no idea for a while, he was a little disappointed.

Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to convene everyone to discuss the matter, so he quickly cheered up, laughed and said: "Anyway, today is a good day, Ai Qing, follow me to the flower hall in the backyard, let's not get drunk today Return!"

Saying that, he left the living room hand in hand with Sun Shaozong.

To be honest, Sun Shaozong really didn't want to get close to him, but fortunately, after going out, the smell of urine dissipated a lot, at least it was not so unbearable.

…………

However, the two monarchs and ministers chatted and laughed all the way to the flower hall in the backyard. As soon as they stepped through the courtyard gate, they saw a group of Yingying and swallows gushing out of it, headed by the Crown Princess and Princess Beijing.

From a distance, one can see that the crown princess's palace skirt is wrapped with a bright yellow silk, and she is really floating like a fairy when she walks.

But the long-legged princess next to her should be as valiant as ever, with a pale complexion and resentful eyes, which can only be described by the word 'sick and delicate'.

But she said that seeing that she couldn't escape, the princess had no choice but to lead Wei Ying to meet the prince.

When she got closer, the long-legged princess suddenly smelled a smell of urine, and couldn't help retching a few times, but the prince glared at her.

Obviously, this person is also well aware of his own smell.

Seeing this, the crown princess quickly explained for the long-legged princess: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, Sister Wei has been feeling unwell recently, and she vomited just now in the flower hall."

The prince was only a little annoyed, but the way he looked at Wei Ying became more and more strange.

When the four of them separated and the two entered the flower hall, the prince suddenly frowned and said, "Then Princess Beijing is also pregnant?"

Even if Sun Shaozong knew the truth, how dare he tell him?

Fortunately, the crown prince didn't expect him to answer, so he sat down at the head with a gloomy face, and murmured: "Water melting is really a blessing!"

This sour voice was full of resentment, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it had touched his sore spot again.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, Zhao Yushi is from the King of Beijing, so don't lose the big because of small things..."

"I understand alone."

The prince nodded, and said bluntly: "But don't think that he can avoid the crime of colluding with the Niu family by pretending to be close to Gu!"

As he said that, he smiled meaningfully: "Gu's promise to Aiqing that day, but I still remember it in my heart."

The promise he said was naturally that after he ascended the throne, the long-legged princess would be handed over to Sun Shaozong.

But how could Sun Shaozong need his help?

If the long-legged princess is really pregnant, it's hard to tell whose it is!

Chapter 831

In a daze, he felt two naked and greasy bodies lying in his arms, Sun Shaozong habitually wrapped them in his arms, and climbed to the commanding heights.

The dizziness brought about by the hangover made his thoughts obviously sluggish a lot, so that after a long time of recklessness, some doubts suddenly flashed in his mind.

The two women in his arms were already awake, so why didn't anyone get up and make himself a bowl of hangover soup?

This thought turned around in his mind for a few times, and Sun Shaozong suddenly woke up with a start, and hurriedly opened his eyes and looked to the side. In the darkness of night, a delicate but strange face came into view immediately.
