Chapter 525: Seeing the Sun
In the eyes of the prince at this moment, the reason why Cheng Jinzhi is so fearless and self-confident is not for the result of the family test, but also for him to question his life experience, so that he can mess up and jump over the wall in a hurry.
She really agreed to a "blood test", which she did not expect.
As for the prince's contemptuous provocation, Cheng Jinzhi's momentum gradually weakened compared to before, but his eyes flickered slightly, but he did not speak back sharply as before.
She did this, of course, on purpose.
She had already figured out the psychology of the prince, if Fang Cai's own step-by-step pressing was using the method of agitation to stimulate the opponent to comply, then at this moment, it was naturally to let him relax his vigilance and fall into the trap.
"Sixth brother, what are you still doing in a daze? Since you and I are brothers, we naturally have blood relatives, is it possible that you still want your father to donate blood and damage the dragon body?"
Seeing Cheng Jinzhi's speechless attitude of winning and weakening, the prince turned his gaze to Gao Xun and handed over the dagger in his hand with a proud face, not noticing the flash of joy in Cheng Jinzhi's eyes.
"It is really an honor to be a brother with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Gao Xun took the dagger meaningfully, slashed his finger again, dripping blood into the bowl, and then said in a seemingly playful tone.
"It's just possible that it won't be anytime soon. Oh no, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should... You've never been a brother to me, have you?"
"Hmph, you'd better stop talking a few boring nonsense, it's going to be over soon. ”
"Wait!"
However, at the moment when the prince picked up the dagger, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly pretended to be nervous and spoke to stop him, his face was full of fear of the East Window incident, which made the prince feel that he was determined to win.
"What's the matter, Cheng Jinzhi? Do you know that you regret it now? But it's too late. ”
The prince's eyes were smug and his eyes were moving, and as soon as the words fell, he saw the corners of his lips raised, and he saw that the truth was about to come out, but he never thought that at this moment, he saw the eunuch guarding outside the hall suddenly walking in in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is asking to see you outside the palace. ”
Emperor Zhou was originally full of concern about the prince's life experience, and his face showed a little displeasure for the queen's sudden invitation.
"What is she doing at this time? Let her wait outside now. ”
"Niangniang asked the villain to report to Your Majesty, and news came from Guangling Palace just now, saying that Concubine Hui Niangniang she... She hanged herself in her bedchamber. ”
"What did you say?"
Hearing the news of Concubine Hui's death, Emperor Zhou only felt that his whole heart suddenly tightened, in addition to shock, a sour meaning also surged from the bottom of his heart, making him suddenly a little distracted.
However, Cheng Jinzhi knew that Empress Zhao suddenly sent someone to inform her of this matter at this time, and she must have been worried about the obstacles created by the revelation of the prince's identity.
After all, Concubine Hui suddenly hanged herself at this time, and ordinary people would think that she couldn't bear the condemnation of conscience and committed suicide in fear of sin.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is clearly committing suicide in fear of sin, if King Yan is really innocent, how could Concubine Hui hang herself in the palace? According to the courtier's opinion, Princess Yan is now taking the opportunity to delay time and wait for a certain opportunity, and she should be dealt with immediately, so as not to cause extraneous branches and endless troubles!"
Taking advantage of this, King Qi, who did not want the prince to drop blood to test his relatives, took advantage of the situation and withdrew in front of the prince.
"Your Majesty, now His Royal Highness King Yan has not returned to Beijing, Niangniang's self-hanging is too sudden, there may be many hidden secrets, the minister thinks that someone should be sent to investigate before making a judgment. ”
"Cen Changsi, what's so sudden? Everyone knows that Concubine Hui Niangniang's love for her son is heartfelt, she knows that there is no way to escape, so she chooses to fight with her life, which can be regarded as helping King Yan reduce a bargaining chip that can threaten him. ”
"The mother didn't commit suicide in fear of sin at all, but was killed by a traitor!"
Looking at King Qi's treacherous face and the expression on Emperor Zhou's face that was more doubtful than sad, Cheng Jinzhi gritted his teeth, but his heart kept trembling.
"It seems that the queen mother has run out of patience, and the dog is jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”
At the beginning, it was because she knew that Concubine Hui's death would be used to make a big fuss, so she has never mentioned her death to Emperor Zhou since she entered the palace.
Now that he finally broke free from the pain of Concubine Hui's death, at this moment, seeing that the queen deliberately used this matter to deal with herself, Cheng Jinzhi only felt that the bottom of his heart was cold to the bone, and hatred was surging like a tide.
"Hui Fei ......"
After a long silence, I saw Emperor Zhou take a deep breath, and his already tired and anxious face was filled with a touch of disappointment and sadness.
"Cheng Jinzhi, it seems that I mistakenly believed you. ”
Obviously, in front of the royal bloodline, which should be unquestionable, he preferred to trust King Qi's judgment.
"Come on, drag Princess Yan out. ”
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to end up in black and white, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. ”
Seeing that the situation was completely unfavorable to him, Cheng Jinzhi sneered, but no longer excused himself, but let out a sigh of pain.
Just as the forbidden army came forward, everyone thought that she had run out of ammunition and food, and was ready to be captured......
Seeing that her eyes tightened, she turned around and snatched the dagger in the hand of the prince beside her with extreme speed, slashed at his fingertips, and squeezed the blood into the porcelain bowl.
In an instant, the Taiji Palace, which was still in constant turmoil, suddenly fell silent with her move.
It was just an insignificant drop of water, but at the moment, it was particularly loud and harsh.
Everyone stopped their movements in unison, their eyes locked on the two pieces of blood floating in the clear water in the bowl.
Emperor Zhou tightened his pupils and stiffened his back, but gradually, he saw his eyes widen in disbelief, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if even his heartbeat stopped beating at this moment.
And looking at the two pieces of blood halo in the water that were scattered and peeled off from each other, Cheng Jinzhi's heart suddenly relaxed, and the feeling of oppression on his shoulders that was as heavy as a thousand jun also dissipated most of it.
Even if you have guessed eight or nine times before such a result, you can only be truly convincing and reassuring until you see it with your own eyes.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers did not deceive the king, this blood is not compatible!"
"How so? no... No way, there must be something wrong with this water, there must be a problem!"
Looking at everything that happened in front of him in an instant, the prince had long forgotten the pain in his fingertips, but his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and his steps unconsciously retreated.
For him, who was able to return to his storage position at this moment, this was tantamount to a bolt from the blue that was enough to destroy all hope in life.
I saw him roar, rushed forward and knocked the water bowl to the ground with one palm, and the whole person fell into a frenzy of shock and uneasiness.
