Chapter 560: The King and the Queen
γ2nd Updateγ
Although Chen Banxia did not agree with Sun Shaozong's persistence, he was a person who abided by the rules and duties, and after Sun Shaozong's orders, he did not complain, and went directly to the Tai Hospital.
Of course, this may also be because he doesn't want to face Sun Shaozong's face of not admitting defeat anymore, so he hurriedly flashed.
Well~
It's better to think of him as the former.
After Chen Banxia left, Sun Shaozong did not let Eunuch Zhou idle, and divided him and the twelve little eunuchs into several waves to collect recipes from the imperial dining room, specimens of various plants in the palace, and rouge, gouache, spices and other materials used by concubines.
As for Sun Shaozong himself......
How can someone with a dick in this palace wander around casually?
It's better to be honest and settle lunch and dinner together.
Because Qin Ming, the head of the Tai Hospital, was not on duty in the palace today, Chen Banxia had to go to the Tai Hospital to find him.
Tai Hospital is located near the Zhengyang Gate in the south of the Imperial Palace, and is about five or six miles away from the Yongning Palace.
But Chen Banxia is not ordered to go in and out, according to the rules, he can only go to Xuanwu Gate, not to mention that he has to walk seven or eight miles more, and this one will be even farther away.
Therefore, by the time Chen Banxia led Qin Ming back, the sky had already begun to darken.
Sun Shaozong was reading the recipe while digesting the four roast ducks in his stomach, and when he saw the two of them hurriedly coming in from outside, he hurriedly got up and greeted each other: "Brother Qin, I'm afraid I'm going to be biased against you again this time." β
At the beginning of the 'Longgen Case', the two of them had been bored in the prince's mansion for a long time, and they had similar official ranks to each other, and they belonged to the same camp, so they naturally established a certain degree of personal friendship.
Therefore, Qin Ming didn't hide it from him, and complained straight to the point: "What do you mean, brother, I also heard Banxia say on the road, but how many times have I tried that recipe, it is indeed a good medicine to nourish the body." β
Sun Shaozong smiled freely, ignoring the complaint in his words, and only asked: "But I don't know how my brother tried it in the first place?" β
"What ...... this?"
Qin Ming saw that there was no one else on the left and right, and then he suppressed his voice and said, "Since that thing is aphrodisiac, how else can I try it?" I found a few death row prisoners in the Criminal Department, and a few official prostitutes, and served them with delicious food and drink every day, so that they could fight in bed! β
This is the ......
It's straightforward enough!
But it's also effective - don't you see that the drugs invented by later generations also have to go through clinical trials first?
"Someone's coming!"
Sun Shaozong immediately greeted the outside, ordered the dragon guards outside to go to Shuntian Mansion with his own handwritten letter, and selected some death row prisoners and private prostitutes to be convicted to come back.
As the ruler of the Shuntian Mansion, other things may not be very convenient, but it is easy to transfer a few prisoners.
What's even more coincidental is that a few days ago, the batch of private prostitutes collected in the government has not yet had time to be sent to serve in front of the army.
After thinking about it, Sun Shaozong added: "Try to find death row prisoners who are fifty years old and above. β
Although it seems that using a half-hundred old man as a guinea pig seems to be a little inconsistent with the political correctness of this year, at this juncture, who can take care of respecting the old and loving the young?
Besides, they are going to die left and right, and it is better to die under the peony flower than to fall to the ground at the entrance of the vegetable market.
As for the prostitutes......
Since there is a problem with the medicine that men take internally, it must not be implicated in them.
It will take some time for these mice to be in place, so Sun Shaozong first invited Qin Ming to sit down, and then asked about this medicine that nourishes yin and nourishes the kidneys, if it contains toxicity, what kind of reaction it will cause.
"That's a lot."
Qin Ming has studied this quite a lot, and opened his mouth and said: "It is common that the medicine is too strong, which leads to death due to deyang; It makes people overexcited, causing them to have a stroke immediately; The medicinal properties are not easily absorbed, and the ...... of poisonous sores accumulate in the body"
"As for the way of death caused by other poisons, it is even more bizarre, and so on."
"That's right."
Speaking of this, Qin Ming looked out a few more times, and then said with a smile: "I heard that in the sixth year of Jianping, there was a eunuch who mistakenly took this thing, and he couldn't vent it and died of madness." β
Six years of Jianping?
It should have been more than 40 years ago, and the Emperor seemed to be in his thirties at that time, right?
It seems that it is not easy to deal with so many women in the palace.
"Dude."
Sun Shaozong asked again: "Generally take this medicine, what is the avoidance?" β
"Avoid ......"
Qin Ming twisted his beard and said with his fingers: "Don't drink too much alcohol, try not to eat spicy, greasy and other foods that are not easy to digest - nothing else, and these avoidances generally won't hurt your life." β
Although the word [general] means that there is still a chance of hurting life, this way of betting on probability may not be worthy of the name of 'Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill'.
"Which ......"
Sun Shaozong was about to ask some other details, but he heard a jagged salute sound outside:
"Lord Wang."
"I've seen the prince in my humble position."
"The slave has seen the prince!"
Tut~
At this time, the prince who can still enter the palace is probably the only one who is loyal to the king.
Therefore, when he heard this movement, Sun Shaozong immediately glanced at Chen Banxia, and when he saw that his face was full of surprise, he guessed that it was the eunuch Zhou who had leaked the news.
Of course, this may not be what Eunuch Zhou himself meant, maybe it was a little eunuch who made his own decisions - but a responsibility that is not strict in his tone cannot be escaped.
Secretly made a note to Eunuch Zhou in his heart, and Sun Shaozong got up and went out to greet him.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived in the center of the hall, I saw a person with his head held high, covered with a bright yellow four-toed python robe, but who else could he be if he was not the king of Zhongshun?
The three of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Sun Shaozong [Qin Ming, Chen Banxia] has seen the prince. β
King Zhongshun shook his sleeves, replied, 'No need to be polite', and then went to the main seat by himself, and went to the back of the book with a golden knife, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lonely, do you suspect that there is a problem with the recipe of 'Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill'?" Well, that's great! β
The coldness in his voice crowned him with a moody reputation, and Qin Ming and Chen Banxia, who were immediately bluffed, changed their complexions.
But Sun Shaozong had already guessed that he was not good, so how could he be frightened by a few words?
Calmly turned around, and said without humility or arrogance: "Don't blame the prince, there have been a few strange things recently, and the lower officials have been ordered to investigate thoroughly, and they will never dare to be negligent - and the 'Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill' was only sent to the palace recently, so it is inevitable to check it." β
"What a dare not be negligent!"
King Zhongshun stared at Sun Shaozong and sneered for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "Let's go, Your Majesty didn't misunderstand you, this matter has been changed by someone else, and you may not dare to continue to investigate." β
Syllable~
He slapped it on the table, and said: "If that's the case, the master really wants to underestimate you - now that you dare to investigate, then let's investigate to the end, and find out until the problem is found!" Lone is here to accompany you to check, when will you find out! β
If King Zhongshun had come up and talked about his own experience and the clinical tests of the Tai Hospital, it would have been better to get rid of it.
What he kept saying was that he supported Sun Shaozong's thorough investigation of this matter, and the idea of making Sun Shaozong look good if he couldn't find it out, although it was overflowing, he didn't blurt it out in the end.
Since he didn't even have 'no basis for his words,' even if he found out something afterwards, he could take the opportunity to shirk responsibility, but if he couldn't find out anything, Sun Shaozong was afraid that he might not be able to pass this hurdle.
Seeing through the tricks, Qin Ming couldn't help but sweat for Sun Shaozong.
But Sun Shaozong has the bottom in his heart, but how can he be half afraid?
Instead, he climbed along the pole and said: "Since the prince is so considerate of the lower officials, the lower officials have no choice but to trespass - dare to ask the prince what taboos he usually has?" β
"Nope."
King Zhongshun shook his head without hesitation, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Ming and said, "Qin Yuan has already asked this king about this matter. β
"That's right."
Qin Ming nodded and said, "I specifically asked the chef of the palace at the beginning, and found that the prince's preferences are similar to those of His Majesty, and there is nothing taboo. β
After a pause, he added: "However, the prince is quite dislike things like sandalwood, and they are rarely used in the house. β
Normally, his eyes should light up when he heard this supplement, but Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly: "In this way, Brother Qin must have tried sandalwood?" β
"That's right, after learning that the prince doesn't like sandalwood, I will order people to light all kinds of sandalwood every day from morning to night."
Qin Ming said, and couldn't help but cast him a look of self-begging.
Tut~
It seems that it is not so easy to find Qin Ming's omissions.
Fortunately, he only needs to prove that the Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill can poison people, so he can make various attempts at the same time - as for what caused the chemical reaction, it is not too late for Qin Ming to study it carefully in the future.
Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong asked King Zhongshun some more details, but the result was nothing.
The dry donkey's lips were not tied to the horse's mouth for a long time, and when the lights and candles were lit around, the old face of the king of Zhongshun became more and more gloomy, and Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while.
Special mother's~
Are those guards turtles?
Why haven't you come back after so long?!
When he was staring at the hall with big eyes, he suddenly heard another noise outside, and then he heard someone outside shouting in a low voice: "The queen has arrived." β
The queen is here?!
It's not that since she fell out with Emperor Guangde, the queen has been closed in Kunning Palace, how could she suddenly run to Yongning Palace?!
