After the chamberlain from Mingren Palace finished his speech, the crowd in the hall was in an uproar now they didnât suspect that Emperor Duanhua was going to poison the Empress Dowager on this day, they suspected that the Empress Dowager was the mastermind of everything that happened today!
After all, âto the Mingren Palace assassinationâ of a group of people, since the Empress Dowagerâs beloved all dead in front of the palace door, and even the Mingren Palace door have not been able to step into, visible Empress Dowager on their own security of the degree of concern, as well as the ability to be concerned.
If you think about it, without the secret permission of the Empress Dowager, how could the commoner Lu Hehao have the ability to openly appear in Mingren Palace on a day like today and expose Emperor Duanhua in public?
âThe commoner Lu Hehao has always coveted the throne, even though His Majesty has been merciful to him time and time again, this person does not miss the kingâs favor in the slightest!â A few moments later, Wei Xi stood up with a grave expression and said loudly, âI heard that not long ago, he was assassinated, his wife and young son were killed, and he alone escaped without a trace now it seems that it is very likely that he still has a remnant in the palace to help him, and he intentionally used the âassassinationâ as a cover, absconded and hid, only to use the âassassinationâ as a pretext to escape and hide, and only to use it as a pretext to escape and hide. He intentionally used the âassassinationâ as a cover to abscond and hide, only to break into Mingren Palace today and slander His Majesty in public in retaliation!â
He was still counting on Emperor Duanhua to pass the throne to his grandson, so how could he let the emperor lose his reputation now?
At this moment since it is not to worry about doing so will not offend the Empress Dowager, rushed out to give Duanhua emperor defense: As for whether Duanhua emperor innocence, Wei Xi and Zhu Qin is an idea, the common people Lu Hehao is not a bad brain, this kind of thing under the drop of blood can see, if it is out of thin air defamation, Lu Hehao as to come back to the palace to suffer the death of it?
Itâs just that Wei Xi supports the Crown Prince, and those who support King Su, since they wonât let go of such a heavenly opportunity Qiu Shuxia stood out without even thinking, âThis is a big matter, involving the late Emperor, and cannot be left unchecked!â
âAsshole!â He Wenqiong raised an eyebrow and rebuked in a stern voice, âThe court and the countryside all know what kind of wolfish ambition the commoner Lu Hehao has! Today is the Empress Dowagerâs birthday, and to have such a disobedient and unfilial person break into the palace and disrupt the birthday banquet is already a travesty! Now, because he is full of nonsense, suspicion of His Majesty and His Highness the King of Qing, what is the intention?â
âPrecisely because this matter has now spread, full of civil and military wives and daughters have personally heard, do you still expect to seal the mouth?â Qiu Shuxia in the Xianjia dynasty to seize the crown that will, is the vanguard of the Su Wang faction of the main force, the courtroom dispute time and again he, how many times the tongue fight group of scholars are not defeated, at this moment think they are to their aunt dowager to do with the war, the wariness is more and more full of, and immediately sharp retaliation, âso if you donât tell His Majesty and His Highness King Qing blood recognition, spread the word, but how do you want the world to look at His Majesty? How will the world look at His Majesty and His Highness the King of Qing? At that time, even the late emperorâs reputation will be implicated, He Shangshu you are also the old minister from the previous dynasty, even such priorities are not clear, this age is not living to the dog?
Qiu Shuxia words said unkindly, He Wenqiong can not be bothered with him, looking around, raised his voice and said, âThe concubine Lu Hehao is the third son of the late emperor, before and after the death of the late emperor, has long been married, moved away from the palace! Nuan Tai Fei, however, is the first emperorâs concubine, always in the harem! If Lu Hehao is a righteous and respectful person, how would he know about Nuanâs mother and son? This shows that he is not the right person! Such a person, how can his words be trusted? If he insults His Majesty and His Majesty the King of Qing with his onesided statement, not only is it ridiculous, but all of us here will become a laughing stock for the ages! And how can we face the late Emperor in the future?â
âThat commoner, Lu Hehao, is not talking about anything else! Rather, His Highness King Qing is not of the late Emperorâs bloodline!â Qiu Shuxia smiled morosely and said, âRegardless of whether this matter is true or false, if we donât find out, then weâll all have no face to see the late Emperor!!!â
This matter would have been very unfavorable to Emperor Duanhua, He Wenqiongâs eloquence is not particularly good kind, felt that noisy him but, subconsciously turned to the thighs that he has been holding, âMinister Gu, what do you think?â
It was only at this point that the crowd came to their senses Gu Shao, Emperor Duanhuaâs reliance and the backer that Emperor Xianjia had left behind, had so far not uttered a single word after listening to the chamberlainâs words!
The line of sight in the hall, for a moment all looked toward Gu Shao.
But Gu Shao was now looking at Emperor Duanhua.
The originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down.
After a long time, Emperor Duanhua said in an emotionless tone, âGo, go to Mingren Palace and summon concubine Lu Hehao, as well as Consort Nuanâs mother and son!â
The Emperor paused and added, âPlease also ask the Imperial Grandmother, along with Mother, to come along!â
This situation is not to be asked, is intended to drop blood to recognize relatives just as when Jian Xubai was suspected of having an affair with the Nuan Tai Fei said, this is the fastest, most thorough, the most dry way to whitewash their own.
The only problem is that the Emperor has to be really innocent!
Wei Xi and He Wenqiong exchanged glances both had some trepidation in their eyes, the reason why they had denied the words of the commoner Lu Hehao just now was because they were afraid that it would be true, and then the emperorâs fate would be unknown when the time came!
But now the Duanhua Emperor himself put forward to prove innocence what the emperor has done, according to the emperorâs own heart is clear, could it be that King Qing is not the emperorâs blood, Lu Hehao is talking nonsense?
However, after thinking so, the two have not been relieved, but more and more nervous: now including Gu Shao and Duanhua Emperor, the people in the hall, probably all believe that all the storm today, are from the hand of the Empress Dowager!
And according to everyoneâs understanding of the Dowager Empress Dowager, the Dowager Empress Dowager even disregarded the late Emperor Xianjiaâs posthumous name, so it was clear that she had made up her mind to put the Duanhua Emperor to his death so how could the Dowager Empress Dowager fail to consider such a simple method of proving that the Emperor had been defamed by dropping blood to identify his relatives?
Wei Xi and He Wenqiong thought at the same time, âThe Empress Dowager must have a backhand!â
Fatefully, this change of heart today was too sudden especially the Wei family, which had received the Empress Dowagerâs secret decree, thinking that since the Empress Dowager had given the matter of the change of dynasty to the Wei and Su families, the Empress Dowager herself was bound to not make much of a move.
So at this moment was taken by surprise, Wei Xi inevitably felt confused, for a moment not the slightest speculation what kind of calculation the Empress Dowager will have next?
Just a moment later, Wei Xi realized that he didnât even need to speculate about the Dowager Empressâs scheming because in full view of everyone, Emperor Duanhuaâs blood, and King Qingâs blood, fused together without any hindrance!
After this result came out, the one who was most surprised was not the others, but Emperor Duanhua himself!
Just as Wei Xi and He Wenqiong had thought before, since Emperor Duanhua had taken the initiative to ask for a public blood drop to recognize his relatives, he certainly had the backing to do so!
Although the Nuan Tai Consort was beautiful, Emperor Duanhua had always respected Emperor Xianjia, and he himself was not a lover of beauty to this concubine mother, Emperor Duanhua had always followed the rules and never overstepped them in any way!
He just did not even say a word of molestation with the Nuan Tai Fei, and how it is possible to give birth to a son with her, but also relied on the name of the Emperor Xianjia sealed Qing Wang!
âAlthough this basin of water was personally called by Gu Xiang and Wei Shangshu, but this is a big matter, itâs better to be cautious!â In the dead silent hall, Empress Su slowly spoke, âFang Yu!â
The Empress Dowagerâs usual Grand Courtesan, Fang Yu, understood and pulled off the silver hairpin at her temples, stepped forward, and slashed the back of her hand in public!
The blood dripped down, but it was distinct from the blood of Emperor Duanhua as well as King Qingâs blood the basin of water, obviously, was fine!
âEmperor?â Empress Su raised her head and looked at the Duanhua Emperor whose face was as snowy as the snow, but there was not much joy and complacency in her eyes, instead it was full of sadness: the Empress Dowager is like this, it is not all an act, she and Emperor Xianjia are teenage couples, all the way to support each other to come over, in addition to the establishment of the Crown Prince this matter, it can be said that Emperor Xianjia is obedient to her in everything.
So at this moment after confirming that King Qing is not the son of Emperor Xianjia, Empress Su is certainly rejoicing for her own son Su Wang, but also for the nine springs of her husband to feel heartbroken, âthe late emperor before he was born, the most loved and most important is that you, in order to you, the late emperor can be described as exhaustive, blood ⦠these ⦠courtroom public officials, also see in the eyes! Why do you â¦â
Empress Su raised her sleeve to cover her face and didnât continue her tone wasnât vehement, and her wording wasnât mean, but only the kind of deep sorrow and indignation that flowed out of her called out to all the people to look at Emperor Duanhuaâs gaze, which all revealed a clear distaste and disdain.
Even if Emperor Duanhua is still the emperor now, but, the chaos of gathering doe (you), wherever it is placed, it is called disgraceful!
In the end man is not an animal.
âI donât have ⦠âDuanhua Emperor looked at the water basin in front of him, only to feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar he couldnât figure out how he could not understand, he obviously had not even pulled the hand of Nuan Tai Fei for a moment, and Qing Wang Why would he be his own son?
You donât have to look to feel the eyes around you at the moment.
The young emperor suddenly felt more lonely than ever his first grandmother and mother are sitting only a few arms away from him; his ministers are only within his reach; a little farther away is to serve his court and protect his guards; under the courtyard, are all his courtiers.
But these people, at this moment, are just silent, actually no one out of words for him to refute!
The emperorâs mind went blank for a moment before he subconsciously said, âI have never treated Nuan mother consort â¦.â
âYour Majesty, is King Qingâs birth mother, really the Nuan Tai Fei?â At the bottom, Wei Xi and other courtiers who didnât want Emperor Duanhua to lose his reputation didnât really want to absolve the emperor, just that the facts were all there and so many people had seen it, so how else could it be whitewashed?
This see the emperorâs reaction does not seem to be false, only to hold the hope of the possibility of reminding, âIf the concubine Lu Hehao earlier to take advantage of His Majesty did not guard him, make what the swap scheme ⦠may not be His Majestyâs former concubines to honor the heir?â
This possibility is in fact very slim, because the Nuan Tai Fei was born in the palace, because at that time the Empress Dowager was still immersed in the pain of the loss of her son, the âgrandchildrenâ born after the death of the Emperor Xianjia paid special attention to the Empress Su in order not to fall into the conversation is also the responsibility of the mother of the mother When the Nuan Tai Fei gave birth in the side hall of Hui Yi Palace, the Empress Su was personally in charge of it! Nuan Tai Fei in Hui Yi Palace side of the hall when the birth of the Empress Dowager Su but personally sit in the town!
Where did the commoner Lu Hehao get the ability to play any kind of fallout scheme in front of this first mother?
Moreover, before and after Nuan Tai Fei gave birth, no concubine in Emperor Duan Huaâs harem had ever rumored of pregnancy!
Even if they did, why would they take their own son to help Lu Hehao pit Emperor Duanhua? After all, Da Rui from the former Yong copied the harem system, no child concubines, basically will not have a good end!
As for Empress Su taking advantage of this opportunity to pit Emperor Duanhua with a different child this is even more unlikely, after all, Dowager Consort Nuan is still around now.
Wei Xiâs words only fell, Empress Su made a wink, someone will Nuan Tai Fei frame to the water basin, public cut her wrist, drip blood into the basin, and then will still crying Qing Wang pulled over, once again cut his finger.
The blood of both mother and child, only just entering the basin, blended together.
Now, Wei Xi couldnât say anything.
He did his best.
After a long time, the gazes in the hall gathered on two people, waiting for them to speak: the Dowager Empress, and, Gu Shao.
