31: Prison Disaster

The emperor's diarrhea spread throughout the palace.

The next day, the imperial dining room was fried, and everyone was talking about Shen Lanxin's arrest and what happened to the emperor in the thatched room last night, Master Wang was also puzzled, why did he suddenly investigate the matter of Bazhen braised pork last night, and suddenly took Shen Da away, is the emperor's diarrhea really related to his braised pork? ”

At this moment, the knife stumbled in from the outside.

"Master Wang, Master Wang......" Xiao Dao shouted as he ran.

Hearing this, Master Wang hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

"Master Wang, I inquired." The knife was out of breath and out of breath.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Master Wang was anxious, knowing that something must have happened if Shen Da didn't come back that night.

Xiaodao swallowed his saliva and said: "That's the case, last night, the emperor suddenly had a stomachache after eating in Shoukang Palace, and the diarrhea did not stop. ”

Wang De was dumbfounded. "You said that the emperor will have diarrhea after eating the Bazhen braised pork I made?"

"yes." Knife nodded.

"It's impossible, the meat is the freshest pork, how can you have diarrhea after eating it? It's not a laxative. "Master Wang still can't believe it, how can Bazhen braised pork, which has been made for decades, eat bad people?

"Braised pork is not a laxative, but there is a laxative in braised meat." As soon as the knife finished speaking, Master Wang thought he had heard something wrong, and asked again, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, there's senna in the broth." Knife Road.

Master Wang was taken aback.

"Senna? How can there be senna in braised broth? Master Wang said incredulously.

Xiaodao nodded and said, "Yes, how can there be senna in the soup?" Master Wang, think about it, what the hell is going on? Maybe someone has frozen your braised meat and framed you. ”

Xiaodao thinks that Master Wang is usually not good at communicating with people, and he has a straight face, so he may offend people unintentionally.

After thinking about it for a long time, Master Wang remembered that after Shen Lanxin left, it was he who mistakenly put senna leaves into the braised meat as bay leaves, and he was the culprit.

He was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Shen Da?" ”

Xiaodao said: "I heard that Shen Da has confessed, and now he is in prison."

"In prison?" Master Wang couldn't help but be taken aback. "He confessed?"

"Not only did he admit that he did it himself, but he also heard that she was still a woman. ”

Master Wang was even more surprised, "You mean Shen Da is a girl?" ”

Knife nodded. "Yes, no wonder she usually looks like a sissy, I really didn't expect her to be a woman, and now the Queen Mother has ordered that she will be punished with a cane for fifty years, and she will be executed in three days."

Fifty rods? Master Wang chuckled in his heart, he didn't do it, how could he admit it? Thinking of this, Master Wang couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, he thought about it and decided to go to the cell to take a look at Shen Da first.

The two of them took care of everything, and then came to the prison of the criminal department, but before they came to the door of the prison, they were stopped by two jailers.

"Stop, who? This is a prison place, and no one is allowed to enter! ”

The forward move was blocked, and the knife was also unhappy, "We are not idle people, we are here to visit the prison." ”

The jailer snorted coldly: "Is the prison a place that you can explore if you want to?" ”

Xiaodao originally wanted to argue with the jailer for a few words, but was stopped by Master Wang, and stepped forward to give the two jailers a silver ingot: "The two officials are good and accommodating." ”

The two jailers took the money and their attitudes became better! With a smile on his face, he asked, "Who are you going to visit?" ”

"His name is Shen Da, and he was arrested in the middle of the night yesterday." Master Wang hurriedly replied.

"It turned out to be him, this is the prison, I can only give you a cup of tea, go straight inside and turn left, hurry up and go in." The jailer said

When Master Wang heard this, he hurriedly thanked the jailer, and then went into the cell.

Xiaodao followed Wang De closely, looking around as he walked, "They all say that the cell is not a place for people, you say that Shen Dahui will not be abused by them to lynch him?" ”

Speaking of this, Master Wang couldn't help but raise his throat in his heart.

Master Wang and Xiaodao came to the place where Shen Lanxin was locked in the direction pointed by the jailer, and saw Shen Lanxin lying motionless on the ground.

The knife panicked, and a quick step forward. "Suffered, suffered, should I be killed?"

Master Wang suddenly took a breath of cold air. shouted: "Shen Da? ”

The knives shook the door and the chains rattled.

"Shen Da? Wake up, I'm a knife! Shen Da? ……

Shen Lanxin fell asleep, and in a daze, he heard the sound of a knife, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was really a knife and Master Wang.

She hurriedly got up from the ground and came to the cell door. "Knife, Master Wang, why are you here?"

The knife patted his chest and said with a worried face: "You scared me to death, it's great to see that you're okay, we were worried about you, so we dredged the jailer to come in and see you, and saw you lying there, I thought I was abused to death by them, how about it?" Did they embarrass you? ”

Shen Lanxin listened to Xiaodao's words and was very moved, and his eyes were suddenly full of tears. "I'm so touched that you're still risking your lives to come in and see me."

Xiaodao said seriously: "It's all this time, what are you talking about, everyone and friends, how can we fall into the ground, but we really didn't expect you to be a woman." ”

Shen Lanxin felt a little embarrassed at this time, and smiled.

At this time, Master Wang asked, "Shen Da, did they treat you well?" ”

Shen Lanxin wiped his tears and said, "No, this is an ordinary prison cell, only those felons who commit adultery and plunder will be punished." ”

Suddenly, Master Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, Shen Da, why do you want to admit that you did it?" The last two flavors were obviously added by me! ”

Shen Lanxin sighed lightly: "Master Wang, don't worry about these things anymore at this time, do you want you to come to these fifty boards?" You don't look at how old you are? ”

Master Wang disagreed: "Can I bear to let you bear this?" Although I have a bad temper, I will not lose my conscience, and I will tell the Queen Mother the ins and outs of this matter to give you justice. ”

Shen Lanxin hurriedly stopped: "Don't, Master Wang, if you go to confess your sins to the Queen Mother at this time, then aren't these sacrifices I made in vain?" If the Queen Mother knew that you did it, would you be able to go home next month? Not only that, but I'm afraid that after taking fifty boards with your body, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will only have one breath left, so you must not do anything at this time. ”

"There is always someone who wants to come out to admit this matter, since I have already confessed it, and the punishment of the Queen Mother has been issued, then this matter will be borne by me alone."

The knife that was confused when I heard it turned out to be Master Wang's mistake.

Shen Lan's broad-mindedness and empathetic heart suddenly made Master Wang embarrassed and admired, and for a while he didn't know what else to say.

At this time, the knife also opened. "I think Shen Da is right, Shen Daliang works hard, Master Wang, you just listen to Shen Da, as if this incident never happened."

Master Wang was silent, but he blamed himself in his heart.

"Shen Da, you are good, my Cai Xiaodao has you as a friend, it is a gift from God to me." Knife couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Shen Lanxin smiled, and at this time, the jailer at the door came in and urged, "It's time, you guys should leave quickly." ”

When Master Wang heard this, he hurriedly admonished again, "Shen Da, then you must take care, we can't stay longer." ”

Shen Lanxin nodded, "I know, Master Wang, you should go back quickly." ”

Shen Lanxin lay in front of the cell door and watched the two of them until the jailer took them out.

Inside the Anxi Palace.

Gao Xu has been in front of the emperor's bed since last night, never left, this morning, the queen mother was worried about the emperor, so she came to see once.

Before noon, the emperor woke up.

"Brother Huang, are you awake?" With a wave of Gao Xu's hand, the imperial physician on the side hurriedly came over to diagnose the emperor's pulse.

The imperial doctor took the pulse seriously and said: "The emperor's pulse is stable, there is no major problem, but the qi and blood are slightly damaged, the old minister will prescribe a few pairs of medicines to the emperor to replenish the middle and benefit the qi, and drink a few pairs and it will be fine." ”

"Then there will be Dr. Lao." Gao Xu said.

"What time is it?" The emperor has no strength to say.

"Brother Huang, it's already time." King Qing leaned down and whispered.

The emperor said, "I'm a little hungry. ”

When Gao Xu heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, pass the meal." ”

He knew that the emperor had pulled so many times yesterday and had been in a coma all night, and his stomach must have been empty, so he had already ordered someone to prepare breakfast.

At this time, the eunuch brought a large bowl of egg custard and came to the emperor's bed.

Gao Xu helped the emperor sit up, took a pillow and put it behind the emperor, then picked up the bowl of egg custard, and said: "Brother Huang, your stomach is too weak now, and the imperial doctor said that it is not suitable to eat hard food, and the younger brother instructed the kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for you."

Gao Xu fed the emperor one bite at a time.

After eating, the emperor gradually recovered his vitality, and he was much more energetic.

At this time, the Queen Mother learned that the emperor had woken up, so she rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

"Emperor, you're finally awake." The queen mother came to the Anxi Hall with the support of the palace maid.

"Let the queen mother worry, it's the son's unfilial piety." The Emperor said.

"The emperor is not awake, the mourning family is always hanging in their hearts, seeing that the emperor is fine, the mourning family is finally relieved." At this time, the Queen Mother's face finally showed a smile.

The Queen Mother looked at Gao Xu again, saw that he looked tired, and asked with concern: "Xu'er, since your imperial brother is fine, you should go back and rest, you have also been guarding all night."

The emperor also said: "Yes, go back, I'm fine, don't be here anymore, what should I do." ”

Gao Xu said: "Since the imperial brother is no longer in serious trouble, the younger brother will retire first." ”

After leaving the Anxi Palace, Ashin asked, "Your Highness, are we going back to the palace?" ”

"No, go to prison." Gao Xu was sure that this matter must not have been done by Shen Lanxin.

Shen Lanxin sat on the ground, leaning against the cell door, and heard a steady footstep coming towards her, she subconsciously looked up. "Is that you?"

Although she has fallen to the point where she is today, she is still very arrogant in her heart, but now that she is like this, he may not know how gloating he is in his heart, so he said again: "You came to see my jokes, right?" ”

Gao Xu stared at her, his face a little tired, but his gaze was still deep.

"Kindness is not reciprocated, I won't intercede for you when I see your jokes." He said coldly.

Shen Lanxin teased: "Then what are you doing here, you won't come to chat with me, right?" ”

Gao Xu sneered in his heart and said disdainfully: "Are you still in the mood to laugh at this time?" ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at him and did not respond to him.

Gao Xu was condescending, his eyes locked on her, "This king doesn't believe that you will confuse the two medicinal herbs, how can a person who has dealt with medicinal herbs since childhood be so stupid that he can't tell the difference between senna and bay leaves, so you are helping others to take the blame, what this king said is right?" ”
