Section 157 Blood test
Xu Moxuan was about to ask how to clear the emperor's suspicion of him, but at this moment, Qin'er's panicked voice shouted from outside the door: "The eldest young master, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has come down, and said that the eldest young master should go out to see her immediately!" ”
What is the eldest princess doing at this time to listen to Yulou?
Xu Nuo cast his doubtful and uneasy eyes on Xu Shuxuan, Xu Shuxuan's eyes changed, and he already knew it in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Then let's go out and meet the driver!" He said softly, then walked up to Xu Moxuan and helped him up.
When she walked out of the study, she saw that the eldest princess had already brought a group of people to stand in the middle of the courtyard of Tingyulou very majestically, and the corners of Mother Qin's lips beside her were hooked with a smug and evil smile, and she was holding a Shang Fang sword in her hand!
The eldest princess saw that Xu Nuo and Xu Moxuan were both listening to the rain building here, and the sharpness and smile in her eyes were even worse, she snorted coldly and said solemnly: "Very good, since the third uncle is also here, then this matter will be better solved!" ”
"What is the so-called reason of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? What to do with me? "The so-called danger is not chaotic, although Xu Nuo was very anxious and worried in front of Xu Shuxuan just now, but when he really faced the enemy, he could also show his elegance and calmness as a scholar.
The eldest princess sneered: "Third uncle, there are rebellious ministers and thieves hidden in our government's mansion, you are an unforgivable crime, and it is difficult to escape the blame!" ”
Xu Nuo's heart jumped, and he said secretly: Sure enough, this woman is here for this matter, it seems that as Shu Xuan said, there are really a lot of eyes and ears of this woman in this country's mansion.
"Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to speak clearly!" Xu Nuo still didn't change his face and smiled indifferently.
The eldest princess raised the corners of her lips and smiled again, she suddenly stretched out her hand, pulled out the Shang Fang sword in Qin's mother's hand, and pointed at Xu Shuxuan and said, "Shu Xuan, this palace wants you to use this Shang Fang sword to kill him!" ”
There was a fierce light in her eyes, and her gaze was directed at Xu Moxuan, who was standing beside Xu Shuxuan.
Xu Moxuan's body stiffened, he also raised his eyes, stared coldly at the eldest princess, and the fist on his side couldn't help clenching, at this moment he already knew in his heart: it must be the woman who fanned the flames in his ear and tried to provoke his relationship with his eldest brother that night when he was drunk, and Xu Mingyan told Xu Mingyan about his identity, and Xu Mingyan told the eldest princess about it.
Xu Shuxuan's expression changed, and it was difficult to hide his anger in his clear eyes.
"Why?" He asked in a cold voice, and turned his eyes to Xu Mingyan, who couldn't help but tremble in his heart by his cold eyes, and took a step back slightly.
The eldest princess chuckled lightly and said, "For the sake of the lives of everyone in our Wei Mansion, you must kill him, otherwise this Xu family will only have to wait for the emperor's decree...... Extermination! ”
The eldest princess deliberately accentuated the last two words, then stared at Xu Shuxuan, and said with a sneer: "Shu Xuan, don't blame your mother for not giving you this opportunity to atone for your sins, otherwise you and the third uncle are accused of harboring the crimes committed by the imperial court, which is enough to make you die without a place to be buried!" ”
Xu Shuxuan also chuckled, very calmly brushed the Xuanwen wide sleeves, and replied: "Mother, my Xu family has been loyal to the government for generations, has no soldiers and horses, and has no wolf ambitions, is it too rash for you to put a hat that harbors the imperial court criminals on the heads of me and the third uncle, doesn't my mother understand the truth that under the nest, there are eggs?" ”
The eldest princess's face turned pale suddenly, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and after holding her breath for a long time, she said: "Shu Xuan, you are very eloquent, even the emperor praises you, this palace naturally can't distinguish you from this tongue, but do you dare to take you, the fifth brother, and the third uncle, to face the saint with this palace!" ”
Are you going to face the saint? Almost as soon as the eldest princess's voice fell, Xu Nuo and Xu Moxuan were shocked, just when cold sweat broke out on their backs, and their hearts were at a loss, they heard Xu Shuxuan answer in an extremely calm tone: "Mother has this request, how dare Shu Xuan disobey?" ”
"When will you meet the saint?" He raised his voice slightly and asked, there was no cowardice in his expression, Xu Nuo and Xu Moxuan couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and the confidence in the eldest princess's heart was even less.
He really dared to face the saint? Could it be that Mo Xuan's life experience has another secret? The eldest princess couldn't help but think in her heart.
At this time, the Duke of Wei also rushed over when he heard the news, and saw that the eldest princess actually brought the guards to break into her son's listening to the rain building, and now she was confronting her son, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Xu Rui couldn't help but say angrily: "Fang Ning, what are you doing here?" With Shang Fang's sword, are you going to kill my son? ”
The eldest princess turned around, looked at Xu Rui, and said, "Grandpa Guo, this palace is for the sake of your entire Xu family, the matter is very important, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, your son is afraid that the entire Xu family will be buried!" ”
"What did my son do that hurt heaven and reason, and anger and resentment, to annoy Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to kill her relatives in righteousness?" Xu Rui asked angrily.
The corner of the eldest princess's mouth twitched fiercely, and she pointed at Xu Nuo with a smile.
"Then you have to ask your third brother what he did fourteen years ago?" She shouted angrily.
Xu Rui looked at Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo's face did not change, he was very innocent, he shook his head, sighed and said: "Big brother, I really don't understand where Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is angry?" As soon as she entered this courtyard, she was indignant and said that Shu Xuan and I harbored the court criminals, Shu Xuan lived in a simple place, and I was even more busy in the national prison for the past two days before I asked for leave to rest at home, and finally had time to talk to my nephew about the history of the Xuandao, and Her Royal Highness the princess seized this gap and said that we harbored the court criminals. ”
He turned around, looked at the eldest princess, and asked, "Dare to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, where is the imperial court?" ”
The eldest princess was so angry that her face turned green, she gritted her teeth and endured it for a while, before she sighed a few times and said: "What a Xu Nuo, what a Xu Shuxuan, your uncle and nephew really cooperate seamlessly enough!" ”
"Good! Good! Since you don't admit it, then tomorrow, we will meet in the emperor's West Garden! ”
"Let's go!" She finally threw out the word, put away Shang Fang's sword, and then led the crowd away angrily, Mother Qin ran up and down behind her, and couldn't help but glance back halfway through.
After listening to the tranquility in the rainy building, Xu Rui looked at Xu Nuo as if he was relieved and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Xu Moxuan knelt down to Xu Rui in shame.
"Uncle!" He whispered, and was about to say something, Xu Shuxuan interrupted: "Father, it's not a big deal, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here for Mo Xuan to stop the Jinyi guard from fighting with Lu Yanzhao, I will take Mo Xuan to the Lu family tomorrow to ask for guilt, so don't worry about it!" ”
Xu Rui has also heard about Xu Moxuan's fight with Lu Yanzhao on Xuanwu Street, but he doesn't care too much about this matter, so he doesn't know the inside story, anyway, it's not uncommon for his nephew to make trouble and fight with those sons of families in the capital.
The matter was not too big, Xu Rui didn't ask any further, but only sighed and admonished: "Shu Xuan, the eldest princess, it's better for you to offend her less, if she threatens you with Shang Fang's sword in the future, if necessary, you will take out the treasure of our Xu family, didn't your father give you that thing?" ”
Xu Shuxuan nodded and said hello.
Xu Rui smiled and left with confidence, but when he walked out of Tingyulou, he sighed abruptly: there are many things that his son is reluctant to tell him, but he has a closer relationship with his third brother Xu Nuo. At least Shu Xuan still has someone to make friends with, as long as he is happy!
After Xu Rui left, Xu Moxuan couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, just now the eldest princess said that she wanted us to go to face the saint together, why are you not afraid at all?" ”
Xu Shuxuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I have my own way to clarify your identity in front of the emperor, if the eldest princess really wants to face the saint, it is exactly what I want!" ”
After that, he handed the brocade box to Xu Nuo again, and said, "Third uncle, there is still a pill on the lower layer of this box, you have also eaten it!" ”
Xu Nuo took the brocade box, opened a layer of fine silk inside, and saw that there was a pill underneath.
"Shu Xuan, what the hell is this?" Xu Nuo asked puzzled.
Xu Shuxuan didn't answer, only smiled and said, "You'll know tomorrow!" As long as the third uncle remembers what I said, Mo Xuan is the illegitimate son left by you and the daughter of the Jiang family, as for how to make up the story, it's up to the third uncle himself! ”
Early the next morning, as soon as the gate of the palace opened, a woman ran to the door with a cloak and shouted to a guard guarding the door: "I am Concubine Xiangniang, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!" ”
The soldier spat at her with great disdain and scolded: "With the appearance of a crazy woman like you, you dare to pretend to be our Xiangfei Niangniang to see the emperor, I don't think you want to live anymore!" ”
The soldier raised the long knife in his hand, but he was shocked to find that the woman's face was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen when she raised her head, and the long knife in the soldier's hand fell involuntarily.
The morning bell rang, today's morning dynasty, there was still no emperor on the dragon chair above the main hall, the ministers waited for a long time, and the eunuch shouted sharply: "Retreat from the dynasty-"
The ministers left in disagreement, but there were not many complaints, obviously they were used to it, only a few people shook their heads, faintly showing a look of concern for the country and the people.
When Xu Shuxuan was about to walk out of the main hall, Gonggong Qin suddenly ran in front of him and said with a happy face: "Xu Shizi, Lord Xu, the emperor specially instructed our family yesterday that after the early dynasty today, we must invite Xu Shizi to Xiyuan to discuss with the emperor!" ”
Xu Shuxuan smiled when he heard this, said hello, and said, "Then ask Gonggong Qin to take me to Xiyuan!" ”
Gonggong Qin looked at him and smiled, lost his mind for a moment, and sighed secretly in his heart: This young man is really handsome, and he never gets tired of looking at it, no wonder the emperor likes to pass him to Xiyuan to talk about the Tao together, just with such a face, he feels pleasing to the eye when he looks at it every day!
Xu Shuxuan followed Gonggong Qin to the place where Emperor Jingxi lived, and saw Emperor Jingxi sitting on a gossip mat, holding a sandalwood handle in his hand, and knocking on a bowl-shaped chime.
The morning sun is rising, the weather is not too hot, but there is already a palace maid who has held up a big umbrella for him, Emperor Jingxi knows how to enjoy it, and the pill woman is not wrong, and the newly favored Concubine Shang Shou is leaning on his side at the moment, and she is gently rubbing his back for him in a coquettish posture.
Seeing Xu Shuxuan's arrival, Concubine Shang Shou raised her head and smiled softly, and called in a very coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, Xu Shizi is here!" ”
The emperor opened his eyes, and when he saw Xu Shuxuan, he was also smiling and pleasant, and then pointed to a position opposite for him to sit down.
"What does the emperor want to talk about today?" Xu Shuxuan asked straight to the point.
Compared with Yan Xiang, Xu Shuxuan really doesn't know how to pat on the back, after Yan Xiang comes every day, he will definitely praise Emperor Jingxi's hippie smiling face, what a red glow is full of fairy spirit, and his body is light and has a demeanor, every time he praises Emperor Jingxi's heart, it seems that he is several years younger, in fact, when he looks in the mirror every morning, he finds that he has not changed at all.
It is precisely because Yan Xiang has said too much and is not true, that Emperor Jingxi seems to be a little tired, but he likes Xu Shuxuan's quick and outspoken words.
Emperor Jing Xi smiled and said, "Xu Aiqing! When do you say I will be able to cultivate to be as beautiful and immortal as you? ”
Xu Shuxuan replied with a smile: "Sincerely, the golden stone is open!" ”
Emperor Jingxi couldn't help but laugh angrily, pointed at Xu Shuxuan and said, "You, you!" I can't even say a nice word to me! ”
After laughing, he suddenly said again: "Xu Aiqing, I won't talk to you about the Tao today, so I will ask you about a matter in the court, listen to your opinion?" ”
"Your Majesty, may I ask?"
Emperor Jingxi looked at Xu Shuxuan meaningfully, and after a while, he said: "Now I have many excerpts here to impeach Lu Bing, some say that he is corrupt and bribery, and some people say that he colluded with my officials in the DPRK and China to frame Zhongliang, what do you think about this?" ”
As soon as Xu Shuxuan heard this, he knew that Emperor Jingxi was testing him, he smiled and replied: "The emperor has his own holy judgment in his heart, and the ministers dare not speak falsely!" ”
"But I just want to hear what you think?" The emperor asked again.
Xu Shuxuan raised his head and said seriously: "Then I can only say, who has not been impeached as an official in this big court?" Whether Lord Lu is clear or turbid, the emperor knows best! ”
After hearing this, the emperor laughed and sighed: "Clever words! Shu Xuan, you are talented and intelligent, I really appreciate you very much, but now I also have a problem that I want you to solve for me! ”
"Your Majesty, please make it clear!"
"I received a secret letter, saying that your Xu family has a guilty remnant, that is, your fifth brother Xu Moxuan, some people say that he is the son of the Jiang family!" After the emperor said this, he stared at Xu Shuxuan with a burning gaze, his face was solemn, implying oppression.
Xu Shuxuan laughed after hearing this, he laughed casually, did not hide anything, did not ridicule and sarcastic, only asked: "Does the emperor believe what this person said?" Does that man have any evidence? ”
"I want to hear you say, can you prove that Xu Moxuan is your third uncle's biological bloodline?" The emperor asked immediately.
After Xu Shuxuan pondered for a moment, he looked at Emperor Jingxi with calm and waveless eyes, and replied, "Of course you can!" ”
"How?"
Xu Shuxuan replied solemnly: "Is the blood test considered a proof that can make the emperor feel at ease?"
The emperor's face changed, he was stunned for a while, and laughed loudly, but after laughing, he sank down and said seriously: "Okay, then let me see a blood test!" After that, he summoned the master of ceremonies, Gonggong Qin, to draft an edict and ordered: "Pass Xu Nuo, the priest of the country, and Xu Moxuan, the hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, into the palace together!" ”
"Yes!" Gonggong Qin replied, and after preparing the decree, he left with the holy decree.
About half an hour later, Xu Nuo and Xu Moxuan came to Xiyuan under the leadership of Gonggong Qin, and they came with the eldest princess and Qin's mother dressed in Taoist robes. (To be continued.) )
