Chapter 862 Jiang Yuhan Starts a Society at Wangjiang Tower (Part 2)
Every time you see King Zhongshun, he is always accompanied by beautiful women.
This time is no exception.
As soon as Sun Shaozong stepped into the private room in the middle, he saw Prince Zhongshun sitting in front of the open glass window, with a naked young woman hanging on his chest and back.
There is no need to say much about the figures and looks of these two women, but their skin is a bright pink!
At first Sun Shaozong thought it was something that was painted on, but he soon discovered that it was not the case. The color was clearly radiating from the inside out.
In addition, the two women kept pestering King Zhongshun, and some of their actions even exceeded etiquette, and they were obviously in a state of unconsciousness.
Could it be that he took some kind of aphrodisiac?
Could it be that this ridiculous prince had forced himself on a decent girl?
Thinking of this possibility, Sun Shaozong felt a little upset. After all, he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If the crime was really committed in front of him, he would have to fight with Prince Zhongshun.
but……
If you look closely, you will find that although the two women are naked, they have a lot of precious pearls and jade hanging in their hair. The shape and quality of these jewelry are probably not something that ordinary people can afford.
I think it is more likely that she is a concubine in the palace.
“Here I come.”
King Zhongshun, who had been trying to figure out the identities of the two women and had his back to the door, finally turned around slowly. Surprisingly, despite the two women's teasing, an inexplicable melancholy appeared on his face.
Could it be...
Is this guy impotent?
If this is true, then God has opened his eyes!
Sun Shaozong thought with a gloating look on his face, and bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
After a short pause, he added, "I wonder what advice the prince has for you?"
If it were two years ago, the word "见教" would have to be changed to "指命令".
However, now that the two brothers have successively made military achievements, their foundations in the court have gradually become stable, while the power of King Zhongshun has been declining in the past two years.
Since the status gap between the two parties has narrowed to a certain extent, the humble "orders" have naturally evolved into the relatively equal word "I appreciate your advice".
Prince Zhongshun did not care about the change of words. He raised his chin lazily and ordered without question: "Carry these two up and get out."
Five or six guards suddenly rushed out from the hanging curtains on both sides, spread out the Persian carpet on the ground, then pulled the two women off Prince Zhongshun and hurriedly wrapped them up.
Seeing the palace guards carrying the two women out and closing the door, Sun Shaozong unconsciously became more alert.
Originally, because of the young eunuch's arrogant attitude, he thought that Prince Zhongshun had asked him to come and humiliate him in person in order to avenge him for his previous investigation of the beggar case.
But seeing that Prince Zhongshun dismissed his attendants and acted as if he wanted to have a secret talk, it was obvious that things were not as simple as one had thought before.
What exactly is his intention?
Just as I was suspicious, I saw King Zhongshun's face change, and his facial features all shrank inward, especially his nose, which twitched and twitched, revealing a ferocious look...
“A-choo!”
Prince Zhongshun rubbed his nose, and under Sun Shaozong's speechless gaze, he tightened his robe, and then reached out to close the window. Then he spoke again and ordered: "Sit down and talk."
Seeing this scene, Sun Shaozong suddenly understood what the two women were doing just now - they were clearly two medicine-induced hot water bottles!
Although he had long known that this guy was an absurd prince, Sun Shaozong was once again stunned by his "wonderful ideas".
Likewise, I once again realized his indifference in regarding human life as worthless.
Even if one does not know medicine, one knows that the two women are most likely to be seriously ill due to the combined attack of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
If things go wrong, you might even lose your life .
If he had just traveled through time, Sun Shaozong might have tried every possible means to stop Prince Zhongshun from acting so recklessly.
But now, even if he still felt pity for the two women, he would not step forward rashly again.
It's not that I'm afraid.
Given Sun Shaozong's current status, and the fact that the Sun family had long since fallen out with King Zhongshun, a few words of justice from him would not amount to much.
But what happens after that?
Would those two women be treated well because of this?
It is possible that King Zhongshun will torture them even more to demonstrate against him.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong just silently followed King Zhongshun's instructions and sat down in front of the round table in the middle.
"Sun Jiajilang."
Almost as soon as he sat down, Prince Zhongshun couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think of Master Hongyuan? Is he a real master? Or a fake one?"
He actually came here for Master Hongyuan?
Sun Shaozong was slightly stunned, and then he remembered the two fake monks and the real Taoist priest who had died in the black letter's plan.
Comparing the two, it is not surprising that King Zhongshun would be interested in Master Hongyuan.
But how could Sun Shaozong dare to give an accurate answer as to the authenticity of Zhenren Hongyuan?
If he said it was fake, it might anger the emperor who was very fond of him - after all, he had just experienced the incident of the civil officials making indirect accusations against him, so it was inevitable that he would be a little sensitive.
If it is true, wouldn't it be like I am endorsing Master Hong Yuan if it gets out?
If this man who 'killed his wife to prove his faith' made any mistake, I would be implicated by him. Wouldn't that be an unjust death?
Therefore, Sun Shaozong could only pretend to be puzzled and asked in surprise: "What does your Highness mean by this? I am not familiar with Master Hongyuan. You specially asked me to come here. Isn't that like asking a blind man for advice?"
"Asking the blind?"
Prince Zhongshun sneered: "There are probably not many people in the court who are more discerning than you, right?"
Then, without waiting for Sun Shaozong's response, he muttered to himself, "Master Hong Yuan has devoted himself to refining medicine for my brother, and now even his wife has been killed. He doesn't look like a swindler at all."
"only……"
He smacked his lips and said in distress, "He couldn't even predict that his wife was going to have an affair. Even if he has some skills, I'm afraid his ability is limited, right?"
After hearing what King Zhongshun said, Sun Shaozong was also moved.
Before, I thought that Master Hongyuan was a heroic act, giving up his reputation in exchange for the emperor's sympathy, which was a gain and a loss.
But now it seems that I might have miscalculated.
The character of a wise and intelligent master and the identity of a tragic cuckolded man are obviously not in harmony.
Prince Zhongshun became suspicious because of this, but could it be that the emperor had no grudges at all?
Compared with pity and guilt, the foundation of a warlock's life ultimately lies in the word "faith".
It is possible that this time, Master Hongyuan will end up losing more than he gains.
While thinking about the matter of Master Hongyuan, King Zhongshun suddenly spoke again: "As long as you tell me the truth, all the disrespectful behavior of your brother will be forgotten. What do you think?"
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be surprised.
Regardless of whether this is true or false, it represents how much importance King Zhongshun attaches to this matter.
Could it be that he had really witnessed something incredible in Prince Yi Zhong’s mansion?
If not, how could King Zhongshun, who has always been vindictive, make such a big concession for just a few comments?
Thinking about it in his heart, Sun Shaozong asked in surprise: "Why does Your Majesty care so much about my opinion? To be honest, although I have had some contact with Master Hongyuan, I have never been involved in the matter of practicing Taoism and refining pills."
"It is precisely because you have no involvement with him in this regard that I value your opinion more!"
Prince Zhongshun leaned back impatiently: "Besides, when his wife just died, he would have behaved in an unusual way, right?"
This explanation is still a bit far-fetched.
However, Sun Shaozong did vaguely sense some clues.
The reason why Prince Zhongshun cared so much about his own opinion was probably because of the rumor that he could judge the Yang during the day and the Yin at night, which played a big role in it.
Since the matter had come to this, Sun Shaozong simply stopped being perfunctory and said in all seriousness: "Your Highness, I know nothing about cultivating the Mysterious Dao, so it is really hard for me to make any conclusions - but from the contact I have had over the past few days, I really can't see that he has any extraordinary abilities."
Although this answer was consistent with Prince Zhongshun's previous guess, he was obviously not happy.
He lay back dejectedly on the reclining chair, looking at the roof. After a long while, he slowly raised his hand and said, "Go down."
This is really a case of coming when called and going when dismissed!
But who can blame her for being born so well?
If I could also travel through time and space and become a royal bloodline...
Uh~
It seems that the outcome would not necessarily be good.
Thinking about all these, Sun Shaozong turned and left Prince Zhongshun's private room, walked around the palace TV station that was staring straight ahead, and was about to push open the door on the left when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling out in a stuttering voice, "Sun... Grandson... Grandson..."
Looking back, I saw that it was Xing Zhong standing at the corner, stammering with his mouth tilted to one side, and I didn't know how to address him.
"Just call me Uncle Xing as usual."
Sun Shaozong walked over to him with a smile, and saw that his face was flushed and his collar was crooked, as if someone had pulled it.
I couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that someone was rude to my uncle?"
"It's not rude."
Xing Zhong rubbed his hands awkwardly, still hesitating: "My dear nephew, I...I have an unwelcome request. If it is convenient for you, can you come to my room for a look?"
At this point, he hurriedly said, "If you don't have time, forget it!"
Sun Shaozong also experienced all kinds of life at the dinner table.
Think about his friends, most of them are poor people whose ancestors were once wealthy, and there are inevitably some mean and sarcastic ones.
I immediately guessed that he was probably provoked by someone and forced to come to me to save the situation.
If it was just for him, even if he had the so-called uncle status, Sun Shaozong would definitely not bother to care.
But Xing Xiuyan, a beautiful and intelligent woman, was forced to become a concubine - although it was not her own fault, she should at least be given some face.
So he nodded and said, "Uncle, please wait a moment. Let me talk to my friend inside first, and then I will accompany you to take a look."
Xing Zhong was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course! My dear nephew, don't worry, I'll wait here!"
