Half an hour later.

After fastening the front cover and putting the gilded and engraved pocket watch back into his pocket, Sun Shaozong made a gesture, and the two guards who were supervising the work immediately waved whips and shouted, "Stop, stop, stop inhaling!"
The three death row prisoners, as if they had been pardoned, quickly moved their heads away from the incense burner and breathed in the fresh air in big gulps. Their eyes were red and their faces were black, as if they had just come out of a fire.
This is no wonder, as there were more than twenty sandalwood sticks and more than a dozen spices in the incense burner. Fortunately, it was outside. If it was placed inside the house, it would be enough for smoking meat.
"Go get some tea to moisten their throats."
At Sun Shaozong's command, another eunuch immediately served nine cups of fragrant tea.
The death row prisoners each had three cups of tea and chewed the tea leaves clean. Then they were escorted by eunuchs, imperial doctors and palace guards and entered the Mingde Hall.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Prince Zhongshun lazily leaning on the Arhat bed, and with him as the center, there were four large beds arranged in a fan shape, surrounded by thirty red candles on both sides, illuminating a group of naked women on them in every detail.
“Finally it’s here!”
Without waiting for everyone to take a closer look at the twos and threes of plump and thin girls entangled in endless struggle, King Zhongshun sat up straight and said loudly: "It just so happens that these little hooves have already moistened their bodies. Let's try this first wave while they are still hot, so that I can take some time to go to the study to take a nap."
Who asked you to come here to supervise?
Sun Shaozong was secretly complaining in his heart, but the eunuchs and guards did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They hurriedly ordered the three death row prisoners to take off their clothes so that they could proceed to the next step of clinical experiments.
But it takes a lot of courage to take off clothes and fight in front of so many people.
The three of them looked at each other, hesitant, and no one wanted to be the first to take action.
The guards and eunuchs nearby saw what was happening and were about to step forward to do the job, but a few ferocious prostitutes jumped down from the four large beds and stripped the three men naked.
If the eunuchs had not rebuked him in time, those prostitutes might have lined up to welcome him before he even returned to bed.
Seeing how hungry they were, they wished they could tear the three death row prisoners into pieces to fill their stomachs. Sun Shaozong hurriedly called for the imperial doctors to follow so that they could keep track of the prisoners' physical conditions at any time.
After a slight hesitation, Sun Shaozong sent a few young eunuchs to watch - mainly because he was worried that the imperial doctors would be too busy looking at other things and accidentally miss some details.
In just a few words, wild noises suddenly arose in the hall.
Not to mention the two young and strong men, even the skinny death row prisoner who was over fifty years old, under the stimulation of the drugs and desire, with his white head, shuttled back and forth in the moist rouge array.
There is a poem saying:
There is an old Fu Bo in the calligraphy field and a sick Vimalakirti in the Bodhi Monastery.
There are no gulls or herons in the water near people, but sometimes returning cattle float by.
I dare not say more in the book.
Relying on the medicinal properties of the Leopard Fetus Yijin Pills, as well as the technical guidance given from time to time by the eunuchs , this fierce battle with fewer monks and more porridge lasted until around midnight.
Although the three death row inmates were all exhausted, none of them died.
Obviously, this first round of testing ended in failure.
"how."
By this time, Prince Zhongshun was no longer sleepy. He stared with his eyes wide open and said proudly, "There was not a single mistake in such a battle. Besides, my brother has always been restrained..."
Having said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong - how could he discuss the emperor's private affairs in detail in front of others?
So he stretched out his hand to adjust something that could not be named, and then he let it go, and sneered, "Sun Jia Erlang, do you want to continue testing the medicine?"
"Of course we have to continue."
Sun Shaozong bowed and said, "I am here to do my duty, how can I give up halfway?"
"ha!"
King Zhongshun sneered and said sarcastically, "Then you can slowly investigate here. I will go to the study next door to take a nap. When I wake up, I will see what you have found out."
Having said that, he stood up and walked out. When he passed the big beds, he picked up one of the women and walked to the door like conjoined twins.
"That's right."
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Prince Zhongshun suddenly turned around said, "Zhou Wuyou, keep an eye on me and don't let anyone put the blame on me."
Eunuch Zhou's chubby, round face froze instantly. He responded in an awkward manner while stealing glances at Sun Shaozong's expression.
Just as Sun Shaozong had guessed before, it was he who sent someone .
Originally, he had thought of giving Sun Shaozong a head start, and then mediate to earn some favors, so as to prevent Sun Shaozong from being young and impetuous and making things difficult for him - but he never expected that the sweet date was sold out by King Zhongshun before he could even take it out!
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have brought this ridiculous prince here!
Watching Prince Zhongshun and the prostitute disappear outside the door, Zhou Wuyou rubbed his hands awkwardly. Just as he was about to go forward to have a few words with Sun Shaozong, Sun Shaozong spoke first: "Manager Zhou, please go to the imperial kitchen and invite the steward on duty. I have something to ask of you."
It's just a small matter, why does Zhou Wuyou need to make a trip in person?
This is obviously an attempt to shut Zhou Wuyou up!
Zhou Wuyou's expression changed again, the smile he had just put on gradually faded, and finally he returned the greeting coldly and left Mingde Hall.
After he left, Qin Ming could not help but complain in a low voice: "You have already offended Prince Zhongshun by staring at the 'Leopard Embryo Yijin Pill'. Why do you have to provoke Zhou Wuyou again? Don't look at him being submissive in front of the prince. To be honest, he is also a top-notch eunuch in the palace!"
Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly: "It is precisely because he is the most powerful eunuch in the palace that I dare not treat him well."
"Why is this?"
Qin Ming asked in confusion at first, then suddenly realized: "Could it be that he is afraid of Eunuch Dai..."
In fact, with Sun Shaozong's keen eyesight, he had seen from the beginning that Zhou Wuyou was suspicious and fearful. If he wanted to reassure him, why did he have to wait until he brought King Zhongshun here?
The truth is that Dai Quan had already revealed his hostility towards Zhou Wuyou in his previous words.
Under such circumstances, how could Sun Shaozong dare to give Zhou Wuyou a good face?
After all, Dai Quan was not only a close minister of the emperor, but also the commander of the Northern Pacification Division and Sun Shaozong's immediate superior; and although Zhou Wuyou was quite powerful in the palace, his influence in the outer court was very limited.
As the saying goes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. Between offending Zhou Wuyou and making Dai Quan unhappy, Sun Shaozong naturally chose the former without hesitation.
Not long after.
The eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen hurried over, but there was no sign of Zhou Wuyou beside him - the accompanying eunuch explained that there was a problem with a batch of silk that had just been purchased today, so Zhou Wuyou hurried over to deal with it.
This statement can only fool fools.
But Sun Shaozong did not want to delve into the matter further, and only instructed the imperial kitchen to first reduce the portion of food; secondly, if the vegetables and meat were the same but with different cooking methods and seasonings, they might as well put both the cooking methods and seasonings into one dish.
This greatly improves the efficiency of drug testing.
As for whether the food tastes good or not, that is not within Sun Shaozong's consideration.
In addition, the number of people in this second batch of guinea pigs must be reduced from four to two in order to form a three-shift system - otherwise the first few will not be able to rest at all, so how can they have the energy to start working again?
Likewise, the intensity of the test had to be reduced, and it could not exceed two 'working hours' at most. If one vomited three or four times in a row like just now, it would be impossible to succeed even with tonics.
Based on this premise, the second and third confrontations were naturally not as intense as the first one - of course, this was also closely related to the fact that the prostitutes were physically and mentally exhausted and had no intention of meeting the men.
After three rounds, the sun rises.
Apart from the two death row prisoners who entered the sage time, the entire test still yielded nothing.
The atmosphere in Mingde Hall was obviously getting a little restless. If it weren't for Sun Shaozong 's previous reputation, someone would have questioned him long ago: He was just wasting his time by holding on to the 'Leopard Embryo Yijin Pill'.
Especially after Prince Yizhong took advantage of the morning's energy and made some sarcastic remarks in front of everyone, the morale of this hastily assembled team became even more demoralized.
It was in this atmosphere that the fourth round of clinical trials began under the strong support of Sun Shaozong...
