Chapter Eighty-Four: Blood Test

In front of me is an ancient customary bridge section of the family recognition bridge section - blood test. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingge is already familiar with this scene, so she knows very well what the final outcome will be. As long as alum is added to the water, whether there is blood or not, it will eventually melt, and as long as clear oil is added to the water, whether there is blood or not, it will not blend. That's why, for thousands of years, this section has been tried and tested again and again – it's easy to do and it's effective.

A drop of round red blood dripped into the porcelain bowl filled with clear water, spun and sank to the bottom. A second drop of blood also fell. Not surprisingly, the two blood beads staggered by, without the slightest appearance of blending.

Qingge leaned back in her chair and let out a long exhale. Look at them coldly.

The emperor looked at the porcelain bowl with a gloomy face. The queen held a handkerchief and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Your Majesty......" she looked at the emperor in embarrassment. A group of concubines on the side didn't even dare to come out.

"What's going on?" The emperor lowered his eyes, stared at Qingge coldly, and asked in a low voice.

"There's something wrong with this water." Qingge said firmly: "Please ask my father to find someone to test this water, and you will know." ”

"Who prepared this water?" The Emperor looked at the Empress.

"It's the concubine's maidservant, Liuzhu." The queen looked at the beads standing behind the flower pillar.

"Huai'an," the emperor summoned his personal eunuch, "to see if there is a problem with this water." ”

"No." Huai'an ordered someone to bring a carved high table, carefully put the bowl of water, and slowly approached the porcelain bowl with a burning fire stick in front of everyone. Until it is put in water and the fire stick is extinguished. Huai'an raised his head and said, "Back to the emperor, there is no problem with this water." ”

The emperor may not believe the queen's words, but Huai'an, who has been by his side since he was a child, he trusts him very much. This result made his face darken a little more.

"Father-in-law Huai'an, are you mistaken? Please take a closer look. Qingge didn't expect this to be the result. Could it be that the queen also bought Huai'an?

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old slave has already looked at it carefully, and there will be no mistake. If you want the blood droplets to not mix, the usual method is to add clear oil to the water. However, adding clear oil will cause oil splashes on the surface of the water, which should be visible to the naked eye. And this bowl of water was clear and transparent, and for the sake of insurance, the old slave tried it with a fire stick. If there was really clear oil, it would have lit this bowl, and now it is not lit, which proves that there is no clear oil in this bowl. Huai'an said slowly. He is also an old man in the palace, and this trick can be easily recognized.

"Could it be that it's not clear oil, but something else?" Qingge felt that it was getting worse and worse.

"This old slave doesn't know." Huai'an shook his head.

It must have been something else, something that few people knew about. Qingge picked up the bowl of water and sniffed it vigorously in his nose, except for the faint smell of blood, there was no other taste.

She dipped a little more with her fingers, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and many concubines had already covered their mouths with disgusted expressions. There was no taste, the same, nothing but a faint smell of blood.

As a result, there is a stalemate. Qingge believes that there must be something colorless and tasteless, making a difference in the water. The only thing she hopes for now is for Qingyin to find her sleepy night.

Qingge felt that this could not prove that there was no problem with the water, but only that there was no clear oil in the water. The world is so big that there may be methods that we are not familiar with. ”

"What the princess said is that the reputation of the royal family is at stake, and it needs to be done carefully. It's just that the old slave is shallow and can't tell the difference. Huai'an said very objectively.

"What else can you do?" The Emperor asked aloud.

"It's simple, and it can be proven by comparative references. Let the other children of the father and the emperor also come to confess their relatives with blood. If the blood of all the children does not fuse, it is proof that there is something wrong with the bowl of water. ”

It was a very simple logical deduction, and the emperor agreed very much. Immediately announced the clear sound and the night in the palace.

Qingge looked at the empress, imagining what kind of expression it would be when the blood of the night could not be fused with the emperor's blood, she must not miss it.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, when Qingge finished eating the third orange, he arrived in the dust. first gave Qingge a comforting look, then looked at the porcelain bowl coldly, and sneered: "Ridiculous!" ”

He couldn't wait to cut his hand, and a large chunk of blood trickled into the bowl.

Everyone watched the changes in the bowl with bated breath, only Qingge carefully observed the expression on the queen's face.

Suddenly, a grim smile flashed on her face, Qingge was not mistaken, it was a successful smile.

With a gloomy look at Su Ye, she had a sense of foreboding. A few drops of blood in the bowl writhed closer to the blood bead in the center of the bottom of the bowl, and gradually sucked together.

How so? In the same bowl of water, only her red bean-like blood beads floated alone.

"Princess Qingyin has arrived." The eunuch outside the door reported.

Qingyin also smiled coldly and said, "Father, does this distrust us? ”

The emperor said softly: "It's just a formality, and it's not aimed at you." ”

It's not for Qingyin, it's for her. She suddenly became lonely. The emperor who spoke to Qingyin showed his true appearance as a father. She suddenly understood that it was not that she felt strange, but that he had never been as gentle and kind to her as he was to Qingyin.

Qingyin didn't say much, but also stabbed a drop of blood and slowly dripped it into the bowl.

This drop of blood quickly sank to the bottom of the water, and quickly burrowed into that drop of blood.

The result is very obvious, Qingge used her own logic to prove that she is indeed not the emperor's biological son. She was so choked that she couldn't speak.

The queen did not speak, the matter had come to this, the facts were in front of her, she sat up high in the posture of a victor, and there was no need to mend the knife.

Everyone waited for the emperor's fate.

"Grounded her in the Light Courtyard first. Wait for the fall. The Emperor thought for a moment and said.

Although the queen was not very satisfied with this result, she did not say anything. I just thought that "the coming day is long".

"Father," said Su Ye on the side, "there must be a traitor framed here." ”

"I'll find out, of course."

"Please think twice." I won't say much more about the night. Looking around at the warbler Yanyan, he knew that this was not the place to speak.

The farce came to an end.

In the imperial study, the emperor said to Su Ye, who was standing in front of him, while flipping through the folds: "You go to Shaojiang and carefully check her background with Jinyiwei." ”

"No." Su Ye replied respectfully. But in his heart, he was thinking: his background was best known to him, and he watched her grow from a baby to a stunning girl day by day. Is she really not the biological son of her father? Isn't it really his sister?

When he thought of this, his heart throbbed with excitement.
