Cannot attack objects

Chapter 114 Longevity Noodles

Too many things happened on this day, the winter hunting started at Sishi, King Rui died at Weishi, and Emperor Taiping of Shenshi knew that his son was dead and ordered to return to Beijing.When the group of people returned to the capital from the palace, it was nearly Xu time, and the sky was already completely dark.

Dali Temple was in charge of interrogating prisoners. After Zhong Shao returned to the capital in a prison van, he was naturally taken directly to the prison of Dali Temple.Fortunately, she was originally from Dali Temple, and she often went to this prison during the interrogation of prisoners in the past few months. The jailer knew her, and she was greeted by the Minister of Dali Temple, so no one really made things difficult for her for a while.

But how can it be better if you don't feel embarrassed?The prison in Dali Temple is dark and damp, the cell is empty and there is not even a place to sleep, there are snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, and the smell of blood is mixed with all kinds of stench, which makes people feel nauseous.

Zhong Shao suffered a lot when he was a child, but he never thought that one day he would fall to such a point.And it's her birthday today, the birthday she planned to spend with Su Mo... She regretted it a little bit, she knew that when she met King Rui at the hunting ground at noon, she would not say anything or do anything, so as to make people vent their humiliation One pass, there will not be so many things now.

The cell was pitch black, the breath was a pungent stench, and the weak or mournful cries of the prisoners were heard...

Ever since Zhong Shao was put in this prison, time seemed to be slowed down, and every minute and every second became tormenting.I don't know how long it has passed like this, maybe it was just a moment, or maybe it has been a long time, a light suddenly appeared in the corridor outside the cell.

The cell was too dark, so the little light was extra bright.Zhong Shao had already let go of his thoughts, but at this moment, he was also attracted by the light.She looked up, but saw a jailer coming in with a lamp, and seemed to be holding something in the other hand.

When Dali Temple applied for time, if there were no serious cases, usually no one would stay to continue interrogating the prisoners, so the jailers could rest after the application for time.Apart from coming to deliver a meal, they usually don't set foot in the cell at this time.

Zhong Shao knew this very well, so she didn't look away, but followed the jailer all the time.Until he came to her cell with a lamp, then put down the things he was carrying, and said, "Master Zhong, someone brought you something."

Hearing this, Zhong Shao's gaze moved down slightly, and landed on the object put down by the jailer—it was a very ordinary-looking food box.

With a sudden movement in her heart, Zhong Shao took a few steps to meet her. She looked down at the food box again and asked, "Who sent this?"

Hearing the words, the jailer scratched his hair in some embarrassment, and said innocently: "This... I don't know, it's just a very ordinary-looking man. He put down the food box and explained and left." After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice. After making some noise, he said, "The higher-ups specifically ordered not to embarrass you, so I brought this food box to you."

Naturally, it was inspected before sending it in, and even the food inside was tested for poison, and it was confirmed that there was no problem before it was sent.

After Zhong Shao heard what he said, he didn't ask any more questions.Naturally, the jailer didn't want to stay any longer, he casually put the lamp in his hand beside the food box, and said, "Master Zhong, you can eat first, I'll keep this lamp too, and I'll clean it up later."

His eyes narrowed slightly, Zhong Shao's gaze stayed on the burning lamp for a moment, and he said, "Thank you very much."

The jailer waved his hands carelessly, said "Don't dare", then left the food box and lamp behind, turned and left.

Things like lamps and candles are actually not allowed to stay in the cell, for fear that some vicious prisoners will take the opportunity to set fire.And if there was no conversation with Dali Siqing earlier, Zhong Shao at this moment would actually have the urge to set fire!But thinking about the fact that she had entrusted the matter behind her to Sir Si Qing, and Sun Hao's words, she finally gave up this dangerous idea.

Opening the food box with the help of the light, Zhong Shao's hands immediately felt a meal—the food box was not big, and it was so empty that there was only one bowl in it, and the content in that bowl was already a little cold and mushy Longevity noodles!

************************************************** ***********

In the middle of the night, the East Palace and the side halls were still brightly lit.

Smiling like a fox, Yan Xu couldn't help but slapped the table any longer. He frowned and stared, and asked Xiao Qian: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of what you did today? You didn't take advantage of such a great opportunity." Involving the eldest princess's family, but putting myself in it... Is it worth it to provoke His Majesty's wrath just for such a person?!"

does it worth?Of course it is worth it!What is Emperor Taiping?What is the prince?It's just a virtual existence in the world of Raiders, so how can it be as important as Raiders missions and can be used to improve one's favorability? !

Xiao Qian didn't take it seriously in his heart, he just glanced at Yan Xu, didn't answer his question at all, instead turned his gaze to the people in the hall, and asked: "If you want to save her life, what good strategy do you have?"

Good strategy, what good strategy can there be?That person really killed the prince, there were dozens of guards all over the yard to testify, and she herself admitted in front of everyone, is there still room for evasion? !

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that once His Royal Highness met with Zhong Shao, he would become extremely abnormal and uneasy.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xiao Qian frowned, but didn't say anything, and asked again: "How is Father's side now?"

This time someone answered, the tall and thin young man stood up and replied: "Your Majesty has been exhausted today, and he will rest soon after returning to the palace."

Xiao Qian immediately sneered when he heard the words, and asked again: "Where is Concubine Yu Gui? She should have got the news too, but what action is she going to take?"

The young man was obviously in charge of the news in the palace, and when such a big event happened today, people were sent to pay attention to it, and after hearing the question, he replied: "Concubine Yu didn't go to the Xuanshi Palace, but went to the princess mansion outside the palace. I've sent messages several times."

Xiao Qian nodded, and commented without hesitation: "She is smart, she knows that the father is cold and selfish, so she doesn't come closer at this time." Then he asked: "Then what's going on with the eldest princess?" ?”

No one dared to respond to what His Royal Highness said before.However, his evaluation was not wrong, judging from Emperor Taiping's daily actions and his way of resting after returning to the palace today, he is really a cold and selfish person.He was actually not sad when his son died, he had always valued only himself, and even though he loved Concubine Yu Gui all the time, if Concubine Yu Gui came forward to intercede at this time, the result would definitely be fruitless!

I don't know about Xiao Qian, but which one of the people in the Eastern Palace doesn't know about this?But no one answered, only the young man in charge of intelligence and news spoke again and replied: "The Princess Mansion is heavily guarded, and our people still can't get in, but from the outside, it seems that there is no movement. Even Su Mo rushed back from the suburbs of Beijing in a hurry, and never came out after entering the princess mansion."

Xiao Qian nodded, not surprised at all.People like Concubine Yu Gui and the eldest princess would not be thrown into chaos just because of a single Zhong Shao, if they were in the front and back palaces and saw too many storms.Even if they are determined to save people, they must make a plan before making a move, but Su Mo...should be under house arrest by the eldest princess, right?

In fact, Xiao Qian also wanted to know how those raiders reacted at the moment, but these people were all over the world and had little contact with him.

The slender fingers curled up slightly, and the knuckles were lightly clasped on the table next to him in a regular manner. Xiao Qian raised his eyes to look at the crowd again, with some authority: "Okay, I've given you enough time to think. , You also know the reaction of other people. Now you tell Gu, what is the best way to save Zhong Shao's life?"

After talking and talking, the topic returned to the original place, and everyone in the East Palace only felt a headache.Someone stood up and said: "Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to do our best, but this matter is really embarrassing. Not to mention your Majesty's attitude, even Queen Rui's family must ask for an explanation. Listen Said that King Rui's mother, Concubine De, fainted when she heard the news, and the first thing she said when she woke up was to cut Zhong Shao into pieces..."

The sound of knuckles knocking on the table did not stop, Xiao Qian said calmly: "It's just a concubine De, there are noble concubines in the palace, and the eldest princess in the court. The princess teamed up?"

Hearing what this means, is it because of Zhong Shao that His Highness is planning to turn war into friendship with the eldest princess?But these years of fighting each other has created a lot of trouble. Even if the prince can reach a consensus with the eldest princess, most of the people below are unwilling.

Yan Xu had been sulking for a long time on the sidelines. Seeing Xiao Qian ignoring him, he didn't intend to go up to make himself angry, but after hearing Xiao Qian's words, he still couldn't help but said: "This is impossible, Your Highness must not destroy the Great Wall!"

Xiao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, obviously he was dissatisfied with Yan Xu's repeated dissent, but Yan Xu still said: "The eldest princess is very ambitious, Your Highness has already known it, if you don't do anything, you will wait until His Highness boards the Dabao is bound to become a hindrance. This time is a rare opportunity, and I can use this to suppress the eldest princess, and even uproot her... The palace really shouldn't do anything reckless for the sake of children's private interests."

What he said was reasonable, if Xiao Qian was really just a prince, he would definitely obey him.But he was not, so after listening to it, he just stopped knocking on the table and said in a deep voice: "Your words are true, but why do you want to go your own way and act recklessly?"

Yan Xu was so angry when he heard it, he felt that he was blind and misidentified the Ming Lord for a moment, so he stood up and shook his sleeves and said, "Since your highness is so willful, what else can you think of to save people? Just directly You can force the palace, and when you sit in that position, don’t you want to live whoever you want, and whoever you want to die will die?!”

There was a lot of disrespect in the angry words, but after hearing this, Xiao Qian raised his hand and touched his chin, and murmured: "It's all right."
