Chapter 441 Routine
Now is not the time to mourn over the Crown Prince's small-caliber weapon.
Sun Shaozong's gaze moved up slightly and fell on Li's pair of clear and beautiful eyes. As the favorite concubine of Prince Yi Zhong and a prostitute by birth, Li's original appearance was impeccable.
But she had been imprisoned for three years after all, and had no freedom in this small place, so it was inevitable that her complexion was pale and her flesh was loose. Now, only six or seven points of her beauty remained.
Only his eyes were still bright and dazzling. When he looked into Sun Shaozong's eyes, he did not flinch . Instead, he showed contempt and mockery, as if it was actually Sun Shaozong who was locked on the wall and unable to move.
After staring at Li for a while, Sun Shaozong finally spoke: "The eunuch who tampered with the 'chew' has admitted that he was instructed by the remnants of Prince Yizhong."
Li's expression suddenly changed, and she jerked forward , causing the chains to rattle.
It seems that just as Liu Luanwei said on the road, she doesn't know the news yet.
When the clattering noises died down, Sun Shaozong continued, "The people who spread the news of the crown prince's extermination have been caught. They all claim to be the remnants of Prince Yi Zhong."
“Woo!”
Li shook her head like a rattle, shouting incoherently, her red and tender tongue flying up and down, causing saliva to splash everywhere, and a silver thread slowly dripped down her chin, soaking her clothes.
Seeing how excited she was when she heard the news that was unfavorable to Prince Yi Zhong, Sun Shaozong became more and more curious about this tragic "senior time traveler".
You have to know that Prince Yi Zhong is a few years older than Emperor Guangde. He is almost sixty years old now, and no matter how you look at it, this Li is no more than twenty-five years old.
What on earth could make a young and beautiful woman develop such an everlasting love for a fifty-year-old man?
"The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Prince Yizhong, so you must stay alive, and live well!"
Sun Shaozong stepped forward and took the chewing gum from Li's mouth, while continuing, "Otherwise, if they all speak the same language, the crime will definitely fall on Prince Yi Zhong's head. Your Majesty is already wary of Prince Yi Zhong, and with this hatred of cutting off his descendants, even if the emperor steps in, I'm afraid he won't be able to save him."
Li first closed her mouth and swallowed hard, then frowned and looked at Sun Shaozong for a long time, questioning: "Who are you? What did you mean by what you said just now?!"
"It's nothing."
Sun Shaozong turned around and put the chewing on the square table, then pulled over a bench and sat down on it, saying leisurely, "I have to kill some time here, and I really can't think of anything to talk about with you. I'm free anyway, so why not listen to how you and Prince Yizhong met."
This behavior made Li feel at a loss. She frowned and stared at Sun Shaozong for a long time. Seeing that he was really sitting there, pretending to listen attentively, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and protested, "I don't know what your purpose is, but the prince's subordinates are all loyal and righteous people. No one would disregard his safety and create such a dangerous situation!"
"Um."
Sun Shaozong hummed without commenting, and then asked curiously: "Where did you and Prince Yizhong meet for the first time?"
What's wrong with this person?
At this critical moment, he is fussing about such insignificant matters!
Li was increasingly at a loss as to how to respond and wanted to ignore it, but when she thought about what Sun Shaozong had just said, it seemed as if he was trying to protect Prince Yi Zhong - although this man might not be trustworthy, there would be nothing wrong in talking to him about old things, right?
Therefore, Li finally said in a low voice: "The first time I met the prince was on the outer corridor of the embroidery building in the backyard of Yanfangzhai. At that time, I was being grabbed and beaten by my mother because I wanted to escape. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting downstairs: Let go of that girl, let me come!"
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he almost sat through the bench - what's with this full of second-year style? Even if he is a time traveler, he is at least over 50 years old. Is it necessary to act so eccentric?
Seeing Sun Shaozong's look as if he had seen a ghost, Li was afraid that he would have a bad impression of Prince Yi Zhong, so she hurriedly explained: "It was the time when the emperor was in a coma... His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was very afraid of the prince, so the prince deliberately acted like a dissolute person in order to tarnish his reputation."
Well, this reason does make sense.
Sun Shaozong straightened his posture and pretended to continue listening attentively.
Then Li muttered, "I didn't know the prince's identity and difficulties at the time, so I got angry and spoke disrespectfully to the prince."
"Although he later learned about the prince's identity, he thought that he was doomed to die anyway, so he just went ahead and started talking nonsense ."
"Who would have thought that the prince was not angry at all, but praised me for daring to fight against fate, unlike the ordinary women of today..."
"Later, the prince often went to Yanfangzhai and chatted with me..."
"He often makes shocking and surprising remarks, but sometimes he is as innocent as a child..."
"He once drank and wrote hundreds of poems, but when he woke up, he said that they were written by others and he was just repeating what others had said..."
"The intimate garments he designed for prostitutes became popular in the capital within a few months..."
"He personally helped me become the most beautiful courtesan in the capital, and gave me my indenture without any regrets..."
"That day, he said to me: From today on, you are free."
"But in this lifetime, I don't want to escape from his cage again!"
At first, Li was somewhat reluctant, but later on, she had already forgotten about Sun Shaozong in front of her. Her every word was full of lingering love and reminiscence, and she spoke with tears in her eyes and rosy cheeks.
If other people heard this, they would probably be moved by this Mary Sue plot.
However, the more Sun Shaozong listened, the more speechless he became. Copying poems, making underwear, and holding the oiran - this Prince Yi Zhong must have read a lot of online novels before traveling through time!
Seeing that Li had finally finished telling the story of how she and Prince Yizhong got to know each other, Sun Shaozong took out his pocket watch and looked at it. Almost two quarters of an hour had passed. So he stood up, picked up the chewing stick, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to trouble you for a while."
Li thought he was going to make trouble for her, so she didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she continued to immerse herself in the memories of the past.
Unexpectedly, after Sun Shaozong put the chew on her, he was still unwilling to give up. Instead, he stuffed three fingers into her mouth, pressed down the root of her tongue with two fingers, and scratched her tonsils back and forth with his middle finger.
What is this for?!
Li was just surprised and felt extremely nauseous. The soup and water that was forced into her stomach at noon churned in her stomach for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but vomited it out with a "wow", staining most of Sun Shaozong's Ink Dragon Swallowing Cloud Robe!
