Although many secrets of the Tantai family and the Heijia camp have been caught in the past few days, the progress has not been very great, and the things asked out are almost the same.
Among those who were arrested, there was a special case, that is Yu Wu, the elder of the Yu family, who had a harsh mouth, leaving the Shadows at a loss. The Shadows used all their methods, including even inviting Jin Miaomiao, but they couldn't do anything to him.
Yu Wu would rather suffer physical pain and be treated inhumanely than open his mouth and say a word. He even didn't even say a word when he was being tortured. Although the Shadows encountered setbacks, they also admired people like him.
However, if Yu Wu didn't speak, there was no way to get the specific location of the Tantai family from him. Even if it was the Cunning Rabbit's Three Cave, which was not the real home, there would still be some clues.
Shen Cha felt that such a stalemate was not an option, so he sent someone to ask the Yu family brothers who had already confessed to persuade him personally, so that he could be moved by reason and emotion!
But who would have thought that not only could he not get anything out of his mouth, but he also witnessed the scene where the brothers broke up. Knowing that his brother had confessed, Yu Wu scolded Yu Da and Yu Shan bloody. If they weren't tied up, there might be a scene of brothers fighting each other. As for Yu Qi, he directly told Shadow, who was in charge of the interrogation, that there was no need to meet him, and he would treat him as if he had never had this younger brother.
"He is a ruthless person and very loyal to the Tantai family." After listening to Mei Lin's report, Shen Cha came to this conclusion. "I thought the hardest thing to pry open was Yu Da's mouth, but I didn't expect it to be Yu Wu."
Yu Wu refused to confess, and Shen Cha was not anxious. He even asked Bai Meng to find a doctor to treat his injuries. As long as a person can still breathe and is alive, there is hope.
However, they no longer care about this. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. People from the Ministry of Etiquette block the gate of Zhenguo Palace every day, pestering Shen Haolin and Shen Cha to go through the procedures in Taihe Palace.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were so entangled by the Minister of Rites that they had no choice but to give in temporarily and follow each other to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
When they entered the Palace of Supreme Harmony and saw the loveless Song Jue sitting on the throne and the yawning Song Jinyu sitting below him, the two of them instantly became balanced.
This is the last rehearsal before the official birthday banquet of the Queen Mother. Otherwise, the Minister of Rites would not risk his life to go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to block people. He wanted to ensure that this birthday banquet was within the controllable range. In case of any accident, all parts must go very smoothly. As for the uncontrollable ones, we can only rely on improvisation and improvisation.
This drill lasted for nearly three hours, and it ended only after confirming that there would be no major problems in every link.
However, this tense atmosphere lasted until the next day, the Queen Mother's real birthday.
On this day, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha got up very early. Almost at dawn, they were already dressed and ready to go out.
The imperial army and patrol battalion under Bai Meng's jurisdiction completely took over the defense of the entire Xijing City. The policemen of Jingzhao Mansion were assisting. The people could live their normal lives. Once anyone was found acting sneakily, they would be arrested regardless of the reason. .
On the way from the Duke's Mansion to the palace, I met many acquaintances. They stopped to say hello to them and let them pass first.
When they were at the gate of the palace, they met Prince Dai, Wu Qingruo and Song Yaojia. The two groups got together, said hello to Bai Meng and Deputy Commander Lei who were guarding the gate of the palace, and walked towards the Taihe Palace.
"You went to Xuanyuan Mansion a few days ago?" Wu Qingruo looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walking beside him, "What did you gain?"
"I went to confirm whether Wanyan Ping has the blood of the Tantai family, but the senior denied it." Shen Cha shrugged, "They said that the blood of the Tantai family cannot produce such a beautiful girl." She chuckled lightly, "I originally thought that if Wanyanping had the blood of the Tantai family, she could be charged with colluding with foreign enemies and let her have a taste of retribution. It's a pity."
"She is right. The girls in the Tantai family are all relatively good-looking..." Prince Dai raised his eyebrows at Shen Cha, "However, it doesn't matter whether it is confirmed or not. When she spread the rumors, she also Empty nonsense." He snorted twice, "If you tell too many lies, even if it's not true, it will eventually become true." He bared his teeth at Shen Cha, "Don't feel any pressure. , do whatever you want!”
"...I know!" Shen Cha thought for a while, "Then we should act according to the original plan and trample her to death completely so that she can't stand up."
The positions of the royal family and nobles are arranged together, and they are all located closest to the throne. Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo are the highest-ranking members of the Song family, and the first place under the throne is their seat. Song Yaojia, Song Qiyun and others The juniors sit together.
The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was arranged next to the seats of Song Qiyun and Song Yaojia. After they settled in Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, they returned to their seats. Everyone patted Song Qiyun, who was lying on the small table and fell asleep.
"Well..." Song Qiyun sat up sleepily. When he saw the person sitting next to him, he yawned loudly and consciously leaned on Song Yaojia, "You are here!"
"Why are you so sleepy?" Shen Cha looked at the two big dark circles on Song Qiyun's face, "You didn't sleep last night, okay?"
"Last night, the imperial sister kept asking me to chat and insisted that I accompany her. She said she was nervous and was afraid that she would make a mistake while cooking and embarrass her mother at the birthday banquet." Song Qiyun yawned three times in a row. "As a result, she fell asleep in the middle of the conversation, which cheered me up as I was already very sleepy. I stared at it until dawn, and now I'm feeling sleepy again."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Cha smiled, "Hold on a little longer, and when it's over, I'll send you home to sleep. By the way, where's Sister Jinyu? Have you gone to the imperial dining room?"
"Yes, she was very excited when she woke up in the morning. After washing and dressing up, she went directly to the imperial dining room. Originally, my brother and I wanted to go with us, but she refused." Song Qiyun closed his eyes slightly, "We secretly watched from outside. The posture... was very tough. But it doesn't matter, it's not us who eat it anyway."
"Be bad!" Song Yaojia reached out and poked him in the head, "Be careful when you talk, the Queen Mother will only take one bite at most, and the rest are for rewards. We...well, bear the brunt."
Song Qiyun wanted to refute, but before he could say anything, he heard Eunuch Cui's announcement.
"Your Majesty is here! The Queen Mother is here!"
All the royal children, distinguished ministers and officials in the Taihe Palace stood up and saluted Song Jue and the Queen Mother who walked in front of the throne.
"Long live the Emperor! Thousands of years live the Queen Mother!" The ministers said in unison, "I wish the Queen Mother a thousand years of longevity and longevity!"
