| The Royal Study. |

Zhou Mo arched his body like a shrimp and said angrily, "As soon as I mentioned asking him to assist from the side, Sun Shaozong immediately brought up the Crown Prince. He was clearly relying on climbing high branches, and didn't take you seriously, Your Highness!"

After a pause, he glanced up at the face of Prince Zhongshun and cautiously said, "From the perspective of a petty person, there may also be intentions from His Royal Highness in this..."

***Clang!***

A tea bowl flew over and smashed on Zhou Mo's face, not even waiting for the fragments to fall completely. Two rows of nosebleeds spurted out.

"What did you just want to say?"

The gloomy voice of Prince Zhongshun seemed to be wrapped in a lump of ice in his throat. As soon as he spoke, the temperature in his study suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"I deserve to die, I deserved to die!"

Zhou Mo didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it; he quickly knelt on the ground and arched from left to right, giving himself a few big mouths. The nosebleeds on the ground made a long stretch, and then he heard Prince Zhongshun scolding him, "Enough, you dog, should not play a clown in front of me!"

Upon hearing Prince Zhongshun mention the word *'clown,'* Zhou Mo reached out and casually wiped his nose blood, all over his face. He looked up and smiled, saying, “In front of you, am I a clown?”

"Hmph."

Prince Zhongshun snorted coldly and stared at Zhou Mo's bloody face, but his thoughts had already flown elsewhere.

Although he had just harshly stopped Zhou Mo, he also felt that Sun Shaozong's attitude was likely closely related to the Crown Prince. Since he suggested that Emperor Guangde, an old hero, should rest on his laurels and strive to have another son to replace the Crown Prince, although the two of them might not have turned against each other, they also harbored resentment.

But this adventure against the Niu family was also for their father and son, wasn't it?!

He didn’t understand the big picture!

No wonder someone calculated and even lost their lifeline.

From this perspective, if the Crown Prince succeeded in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor in the future, he might…

Thinking of this, Prince Zhongshun suddenly became angry and said, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask. The prescription for strengthening the foundation and cultivating energy has been used by me for more than a year, and there hasn't been any difference. Why was it that it has been submitted for a month and hasn't been presented to His Majesty yet?"

Zhou Mo quickly got up from the ground, washed his face outside, and tried to stop the nosebleed before rushing to the Imperial Hospital.

Not to mention how he handed over his duties to Prince Zhongshun when he returned from the Imperial Hospital.

As the night deepened, more than ten candles with thin arms illuminated the living room of the Sun Mansion like daylight. During the banquet, people toasted and exchanged glasses, each drinking with a red, swollen face.

Especially Xue Pan, who hadn't been drinking for more than ten days, finally caught the opportunity to quench his thirst. Without waiting for someone to offer a toast, he was still rushing to pour it himself.

Therefore, when others were only slightly intoxicated, he was already as drunk as mud. His tongue, which had been soaked in alcohol, didn't have a door in his mouth and dared to jump out with any vague words.

"Bao... Baoyu."

Just as he draped his arm around Jia Baoyu's neck, he casually and forcefully strangled him, regardless of whether Baoyu was being strangled or not. He pressed his brain bag against it and asked with a vague expression, "What's wrong with our sister lately? Is she pregnant or not?"

This *'sister'* naturally refers to Imperial Concubine, Jia Yuanchun.

In theory, in front of others inquiring about this matter, it was already a bit beyond etiquette. However, this guy didn't realize it and said with a big tongue, "I... I've heard people say it. My Brother-in-Law is old, and that thing is a bit... not very useful. Is it hard... not hard... soft..."

Before the words could be finished, everyone at the table suddenly changed color.

He was going crazy!

Surprisingly, in front of so many people, he was praising and belittling the reproductive system of Emperor Guangde!

If this were to be spread, it would be said that it was a secret rumor leaked by Jia Yuanchun, not to mention that the position of the child candidate was difficult to guarantee, and it was possible to say that the entire Rongguo Mansion would be affected.

When the time comes, Xue Pan, the initiator, would naturally not be well-liked!

"Big Head Xue!"

Seeing everyone's expressions looking a bit strange, Sun Shaozong quickly scolded with a sharp tone, "Second Brother Lian is sitting here. What are you fooling around with?"

This was actually indicating that the *’sister’* in Xue Pan’s mouth, was referring to Wang Xifeng.

Jia Lian, next to him, was innocently shot, but how dare he distinguish what?

Instead, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, he said in agreement, "You just drank a few more cups, and even dared to spout nonsense! Stop it, someday when I have time, I'll show you my true abilities!"

"I'm not talking about Second Brother, I am..."

Xue Pan was still waiting to distinguish, but he was already pulled over by Liu Xianglian on the side, with four or two strands of tofu stuffed into his mouth. Not to mention his mouth, he almost blocked his nose tightly.

Feng Ziying said with a righteous tone, "This guy is really vulgar.! Come on, come on, this great day, let's not talk about those vulgar things. Whoever starts, let's make a drinking order!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed at Qiu Yunfei, who watched coldly, "Let's start with you."

Although under the mediation of Sun Shaozong, the two of them reluctantly made peace, how could this old grudge in their hearts be so easily resolved?

Therefore, Feng Ziying sought the opportunity and wanted Qiu Yunfei to embarrass and behave well.

Qiu Yunfei has been working hard in the Criminal Investigation Department for so long, not only losing more than ten pounds of fat but also rolling his eyes and sarcastically saying, "What kind of liquor order? You thought that everyone was like you, just pretending to be idle, looking for people to play games with all day long, and copying some sour poetry and music to deceive your sister?"

"You!"

Feng Ziying was about to erupt when he jumped up, but was once again pushed back by Sun Shaozong. He angrily scolded, "For the sake of your little niece's full moon banquet. Can you calm it down for me?"

Feng and Qiu looked at each other angrily and then turned their heads, but the lively atmosphere at the banquet was also disrupted by them.

Seeing this, Lin Delu, who was at the bottom of the table, said shyly, "My Lord, I heard that Xu Huaizhi, the Supervisor of the County of Wanping, is going to be demoted to be a prefect in other places. He also said that he left a gap and that we should select people from the Central Judicial Office to fill it."

"Not from our government office."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "It's Su Xingfang, the County Magistrate of Daxing County. He served as a Supervisor of the County in the northwest for three years before serving as a County Magistrate in Wanping County for more than a year. Every year, he has been assessed as excellent. In terms of seniority and ability, he is the best candidate."

After a pause, he added, "You can go back and let Zhao Liben calm down. In the past two years, our Office has been changing people like a horse lantern, and we haven't even decided on the Minister yet. How could we possibly draw more skilled hands from outside?"

Lin Delu's face stiffened as he realized that his private dealings with Zhao Liben were already under the control of Sun Shaozong.

Lin Delu had the intention to explain a few words, but Sun Shaozong had already changed the topic, so he had to keep this matter to himself temporarily.
