The Empress Dowager faintly said the word “please”, and a few moments later, Emperor Duanhua led his two younger brothers in to salute the Empress Dowager and greet her.
The emperor had already had one experience, and was calm and collected at the moment.
But he brought the Liang Wang and Xu Shifu, although at least one of them is innocent, but at the moment are a little distracted look. Silently followed the emperor salute, asked for peace, will close the sleeves and bowed his head, stood there without saying a word Xu Xizhi swear due to the mother of Lu State Grand Princess died early, his father Yi Ping Bo and Jin State Grand Princess of the original husband Shou Chun Bo half a catty to eight or two, in the backyard issues are a little sorry for the hair of his wife.
As the original first son, and no mother maintenance, Xu Xizhi oath, despite the Dowager and other elders from time to time to take care of, in the end, raised on the cautious behavior, at the moment is also just.
Liang Wang is Cui Guifei when the heart of the raised, usually in front of the elders will be very pampered, this will also be a jittery and silent look, can attract suspicion!
The Empress Dowager swept a glance at the three juniors, motioned for them to sit down, and laughed, “How did you three brothers come together today?”
“The two of them happen to have something to come into the palace to report, after the matter is finished, the grandchildren to come over to give you a good day, the two of them heard, said also some days have not come to see you.” Duanhua emperor also smiled, only the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes, said, “This is not, centralized the grandson to lead them over.”
After saying this, seeing the King of Liang and Xu Xizhi swear did not interface, the scene was a little cold, the Empress Dowager busy to the emperor to make a wink, “You just come to ask for peace? I don’t think so!”
“Nothing can be hidden from Imperial Grandmother!” Emperor Duanhua busily said, “About the matter of Liaozhou …”
Now that everyone knows what happened in Liaozhou, due to the Grand Princess of Jin, it’s quite a concern for the royal family.
The Empress Dowager, of course, ordered the court to be cleared because King Qing was now “asleep”, the Empress Dowager didn’t say she was keeping him down as she had done last time, but rather asked Jade Fruit to carry him to the back of the hall.
In this way, the idlers dispersed, the doors of the temple were closed, and the atmosphere, which had just been somewhat relaxed and cordial, immediately stiffened!
Especially King Liang who was about to prove his innocence and Xu Shifu, their hands and feet were a bit stiff.
I don’t know if it’s weakness, or embarrassment? Or maybe both?
The Empress Dowager noticed and said calmly: ”Such an important matter, even if it is nonsense from the people underneath, it is still good to get to the bottom of it! This is not only for the sake of my son Xianjia, but also for your own good the emperor is softhearted and is not willing to talk to you, but I think that the mourning family thinks that the body is not afraid of the shadow slant! If you feel aggrieved, I can’t help it, if you want to hate, then hate me!”
With these words, she was taking the responsibility of requesting King Liang to recognize his blood with Xu Qi Vow’s blood drops onto herself.
Emperor Duanhua was ashamed of what he heard and busily said, “Imperial grandmother …”
“Imperial grandmother said what?” The emperor did not finish his sentence, the king of Liang bit his lower lip hard, and suddenly took the lead and said, “The grandson did not know about this matter before, if he knew, if the imperial grandmother did not mention it, the grandson would also take the initiative to ask for a blood drop to recognize his relatives, to prove his innocence!”
And he added, “Otherwise this matter will remain a thorn in everyone’s heart, but instead we will alienate the bond of flesh and blood!”
“It’s good that you can think like this.” The Dowager Empress nodded and slowed her tone, “Shier don’t worry either! I believe that you are all good children, it’s just that the matter is important, in order to avoid similar instigations in the future, the scene that needs to go still needs to goafterwards, after you leave this hall, you will still be brothers, do you understand?”
Seeing that all three of Emperor Duanhua bowed to receive the training, the Empress Dowager then said to Yu Guo, “Go!”
As usual, Jade Fruit turned into the back hall and carried out King Qing first, which brought out the water basin the Empress Dowager cradled the sleeping King Qing in her lap, her eyes swept over his finger wounds that had yet to scab over, and after some thought, she pulled open her sleeve and lifted his arm above the water basin, giving it a gentle cut!
At the same time as the blood fell, King Qing was perhaps awakened by the stinging pain, “wow” cried out, and instinctively struggled!
The Empress Dowager was in the end older, and because King Qing’s blood drop had been completed, her mind could not help but have a moment of laxity, and she was even wrenched out of his arm and slapped it on the water with a heavy swing, slapping a basin of water that couldn’t help but wobble and splash a lot of it to the outside.
“Take it away!” Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was busy holding down King Qing and reprimanding Jade Fruit in a low voice, “Don’t let him spill all the water!”
Yu Guo was busy with the water basin back away, walked to the Liang King and Xu Shiyi swear to follow these two brothers subconsciously pushed back for a moment, wake up to realize that this is not a good thing to get a face, before Xu Shiyi swear to first take the silver knife, cut his arm and dripped blood into the basin, but see the blood into the basin straight to the bottom, and the King of the Qing King’s blood did not have the slightest intention of fusion.
Despite knowing that he was innocent, Xu Xizhi swear was secretly relieved to see this, ignoring his still bleeding wound, he held the knife in both hands and handed it over to the King of Liang.
King Liang, however, was not as dry as he was, and after rolling up his sleeves, he took the knife and compared it to his own arm, with a difficult look on his face in the end, he still noticed that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua’s face were not quite right when they looked at him, and only then did he ruthlessly clench his teeth, and slashed down with a single knife!
In the clear water, the blood of the three people was clearly separated, even if the water that had been slapped by King Qing was still somewhat shaken, the blood in it had no intention of melting!
A flash of relief flashed between King Liang’s brows.
“Why did King Liang hesitate for so long?” After a few moments of silence in the hall, the Dowager Empress handed the still howling King Qing over to Jade Fruit, ordering her to take him to the rear hall for placement, straightened the train of her clothes, and asked calmly but pointedly.
“Royal grandmother, you don’t know …” Liang Wang heard, face showed a clear blush, hesitated before stammered, “grandson is afraid of pain since childhood, before the mother consort let grandson to help thread the needle, grandson accidentally stabbed his hand, the pain was a few days, do not think about tea and food. A few days do not think of tea and rice, and since then see sharp things are hate to go around the road. So … so just to take the knife to cut themselves, the grandson, although the heart understands that this is supposed to, under the hand but always some can’t get off the hand! Even … are a little want to ask the royal brother to help hands, so that the grandson closed eyes not to see!”
When he said this reason, the Dowager Empress and Emperor Duanhua were both very speechless.
King Liang also mumbled, “If you don’t believe it, you can call the people who have served the mother consort before to ask I am not afraid of you and brother, cousin Xu joke, that time the grandson cried off and on for a few days, the mother consort was heartbroken, persuade, promise a lot of grandson can’t usually ask for something, grandson only commissioned the Quite a lot of things that you can’t usually ask for, and only then did Sun’er stop crying.”
It is common for children to be afraid of pain and love to cry, especially for a prince like King Liang who is cultivated to be a “rich and noble king”, it is only natural for him to be pampered and spoiled. However, he is now a father, actually still afraid of pain to this extent, so that in the confirmation of the bloodline of Emperor Xianjia are hesitant to let the Empress Dowager questioned, also really call people do not know what to say!
“Cui is also really spoiled you!” The Empress Dowager’s heart was in turmoil for a moment, and she spoke helplessly, “But you’re a father now, and for the sake of Cheng Cui, you’ll have to be a bit tougher in the future, won’t you? After all, your wife and your son will be relying on you in this life. If you’re still this petulant, who are you going to tell them to cry to?”
The King of Liang was red in the face as he listened, and said yes.
“Emperor, what do you think?” After finishing with King Liang, the Dowager Empress turned to Emperor Duanhua originally, the Dowager Empress was going to prepare another pair of death row mothers and daughters just like last time, so as to prove that the process of blood dripping to identify the relatives had not been tampered with, but in order to show his trust in the Dowager Empress, when he came back this time and entrusted his grandmother with the task, he said that there was no need to go through so much trouble again, and that he absolutely trusted his own fullfledged grandmother He absolutely trusts his own full grandmother.
Seeing him do so, the Dowager Empress naturally wouldn’t insist, lest she make Emperor Duanhua feel that she had become angry with him.
So this blood recognition ends here, since the results are out, the royal family naturally also want to discuss a disposition of the statute.
“Grandson’s son can’t apologize to his father and little brother!” Duanhua Emperor was silent for a moment, suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, saying in a hard voice, “If it were not for the mentioning of Imperial Grandmother and Shisu, Sun’er … Sun’er would have almost unjustly killed his own younger brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
His words were simply said through gritted teeth, before the words were finished, his face was already like a black cloud pressing down on the city, the anger that covered the sky was not concealed, only waiting for the opportunity to attack!
Although King Liang and Xu Shiyi Oath had already proved their innocence, but this time the emperor knelt down, they also hurriedly knelt down.
“Jian Ping Yu is from my generation!” The Empress Dowager understood the Emperor’s current mood and softened her tone to comfort him, “Even in my family’s generation, he’s a topnotch person! Otherwise, like his poor family origin, how can he coax the pearl of the jewel of the jinxiu hall, which was carefully cultivated, to disobey his parents and marry for him? The emperor is not unwise, it’s just that you’re a bit younger, and you’ve always been kind, naturally you can’t think of the nastiness of those vicious people!”
“It is the mourning family, before the Shen Tu Clan and Zhen Yuan revealed their true colors, how could I have ever thought that there would be such a ruthless woman in the world?!”
“At that time, I was several years older than the Emperor is now! If I was naive, what is the big deal if the Emperor is a bit negligent now because he is young?”
“Do you think your father was born knowing everything? Take your time, take it easy, huh?”
The Empress Dowager’s soft words of guidance, so that the Duanhua Emperor’s heart more or less better, just think of the hard to find the culprit, as early as last year by his own noiselessly given to death even his favorite son together now is to want to vent unless to go! Liaozhou open coffin flogging, in addition to no other way!
Emperor Duanhua simply wanted to explode, gritting his teeth before pressing down, but thought of something, “Imperial grandmother, A Xu and the others have suffered a great deal this time!”
“What’s wrong with being a family brother?” Now Jian Xubai is not in, the king of Liang and Xu Xizhi swear in, DuanHua emperor but specifically only mention Jian Xubai, within the implication, the king of Liang and Xu Xizhi swear in the end of the young, the status is not as good as DuanHua emperor, don’t understand the meaning, but the empress dowager understand, pondered, euphemized, “you say so, but seems to be out of the ordinary.”
Emperor Duanhua was silent and looked at his two younger brothers, in the end he didn’t say any more, just by looking at his face he also knew that he wasn’t satisfied with the dowager empress’s obstruction.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward for a while well at this time, the Empress Dowager heard the faint sound of crying coming from the back of the hall and frowned: ”Why hasn’t Yu Guo coaxed King Qing? If you don’t have anything else to do, then go down first! I have to go and take a look at King Qing, poor boy, he’s been crying for so long, he must be in a lot of pain!”
Last time, after King Qing received a knife, although he also cried for half a day, but at that time, his bloodline was doubtful, no matter whether it was the Dowager Empress or Emperor Duanhua, they all hated to kill him, not to mention the heartache; but now that the blood drops proved that he was indeed the son of Emperor Xianjia, the Dowager Empress’s own grandson, how could the Dowager Empress not take his crying seriously again?
Not only the empress dowager, Emperor Duanhua also busy said, “Sun’s son will announce the doctor to come, give him a look at the wound, and tell the public that he was naughty and touched it!”
… The result of the blood drop identification was relayed to Empress Wei by Emperor Duanhua after a long time, and the Empress revealed a look of surprise at the words, “In that case, King Qing is our younger brother? This is really great!”
Emperor Duanhua thought that the Queen’s accident was because there was no problem with King Qing’s bloodline, and didn’t care about it, and said in hindsight, “Not bad fortunately, thanks to A Xu’s reminder, and finding out that the court judge had a problem! Otherwise I am going to kill my own brother by mistake this time! If so, even if it does not fall into the calculations of the people behind the scenes, will come to the ground but how to explain to Father?”
Although it is common for the royal family to kill each other, and Emperor Duanhua has been thinking about killing the two kings of Su Xiang for more than a day or two, but in the end, he is not considered to be a heavy killer, and the King of Qing is not a threat to him at all now letting him just kill his brother, and then treating it as if nothing had happened, he truly can’t do it!
When I mention it at this moment, I am ashamed and annoyed, but I can’t help but be secretly grateful.
But she didn’t know that Empress Wei was perfunctory on one side, but secretly wondering in her heart: ”King Qing is really the bloodline of the late Emperor? I thought it was the King of Liang! Since it’s not … then the smallpox thing in Cui Hua Mountain, is it the King of Liang who did it?”
