Chapter 368: True and False Nine Emperor Princes: Seeking Medicine
I don't know how long it took to talk about the things of more than ten years before and after. Zong Zhengke did not overstep his bounds, and some things were better explained by his parents to Yan Yuzhen.
So without delaying too long, Zong Zhengke and Li Yi escorted Yan Yuzhi back to Ankang Lane quietly. Tian Dazui here, he had already packed up the required qiē, and then left together. As for the ingredients and other items, they are delivered directly to the home.
I thought that this was the end of today, and some things still need to be found out tomorrow. Zong Zhengke's only concern is that Master Huiku has not yet returned. Unexpectedly, not long after, someone came here to find Li Yi, saying that the palace invited the king of Linzi to see a medicine that could distinguish the bloodline.
Tut-tut, that's really a bit of groveling! Zong Zhengke and Li Yi returned to the palace. At this time, the looted royal vault was in ruins, and all kinds of incidents had been reported to the palace.
Emperor Xuantong had to throw away his tearful concubine and go to discuss with the courtiers how to deal with those things. So only the Empress Dowager Jade is in charge to discern whether the Nine Emperors are the biological son of Concubine Xiao or not, and whether they are the emperor's biological son!
To say that the Nine Emperors are also ill-fated. Don't mention anything else, let's just say that on the way back to the palace, I met two groups of assassinations one after another. If it weren't for listening to the wind and sacrificing his life to protect him, Concubine Xiao would also arrange for a martial arts powerhouse to escort her, but I was afraid that if he didn't wait to return to the palace, his little life would be handed over to the road.
Fortunately, Liu Dean and Mama Xu, who accompanied them, also knew that once the prince died, the two of them would also not be able to eat and walk around, and even Queen Xu, who insisted on bringing the Nine Emperors back to the palace, would have to eat and hang. So the two of them were quite dedicated, and they didn't do anything to take advantage of the chaos to fall into the well.
finally returned to the palace, but the Nine Emperor Princes were hit by an arrow in the leg, and it was very likely that he would become a lame. Such a result. Liu Dean and Mama Xu are very satisfied. It is too satisfying that a person is not dead, but he may be disqualified from running for the crown prince because he is disabled!
Listening to the wind, it hurt a lot, if she hadn't stopped in front of the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princes would never have been as simple as being hit by an arrow. As soon as she returned to the palace, she was immediately picked up by the palace people of Yikun Palace.
Of course, Yikun Palace also wanted to carry the Nine Emperor Princes away. Helplessly, Liu Dean and Mama Xu insisted on refusing. Yikun Palace could only temporarily retreat. However, as soon as the Nine Emperors arrived at Fushou Palace on the front foot, Xiao Guifei followed on the back foot.
Even if he is not his own son, he has raised it for so many years. A little affection is absolutely fake. And Concubine Xiao looked at the tragic situation of the blood-stained half of the Nine Emperor Princes, and couldn't help but think that when she bathed the jade in Yanjiazhuang a few months ago, she saw the healing knife wounds and arrow wounds on the back of the jade, and she was even more sad.
She cried out loud at this time. Sincerely. After the Nine Emperor Princes woke up from a fainting, their eyes were full of tears. Crying incessantly, he shouted continuously: "Mother, mother......"
The Empress Dowager Jade watched the mother and son look at each other with tears in her eyes, and said with a sneer: "Okay!" Don't act, reads();! Acting like it again. It's not a biological mother and son! ”
The Nine Emperors' body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes, not daring to look at Concubine Xiao. His gaze wandered. Soon found that there was a strange and familiar woman kneeling in the palace crowd, and I couldn't help but panic even more.
Concubine Xiao followed the gaze of the Nine Emperor Princes. I saw that the person was the palace maid Ju Xiang who escaped death. She raised her eyebrows and said: "Ju Xiang, you stole the jewelry that the emperor gave to the palace, and you didn't make a water ghost, but you came here, it's really amazing!" ”
When Granny Hua does things, she naturally won't ask people to grab the handle. Three or four treasures were found in this Juxiang's house, which belonged to Concubine Xiao, so she was stunned and went to Shentang. I didn't expect Ju Xiang to be so fateful, there is something strange behind this matter!
Ju Xiang kowtowed and said: "The background of the Nine Emperor Princes is unknown, and the slaves and maids dare not die!" ”
Concubine Xiao shook her head and sighed: "It is said that you keep saying that you are close friends with Lancao, and you strongly point out that Lancao is the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes. I really don't know what you think! The son of the palace, the son of the dead palace maid, which identity is better for the Nine Emperor Princes, don't you know? ”
Empress Xu shouted: "Xiao! You admit it yourself! ”
Concubine Xiao chuckled twice, looked at Queen Xu with disdain, and said, "What did the concubine admit?" Queen Mother, you are obedient and listen clearly! By the way, the matter of welcoming the Nine Emperor Princes back to the palace is only known to you and the concubine. Does the queen know why the news leaked and attracted assassins? ”
Empress Xu was speechless, her eyes wandered, and she said dryly: "How does this palace know?" ”
"Alright!" The Empress Dowager Jade glared at Queen Xu, secretly annoyed by this incompetent and stupid daughter-in-law, and said with a straight face, "You don't need to say anything, when the King of Linzi of the Eastern Tang Dynasty arrives, ask him to take out the medicine for bloodline identification, and you can know it at a glance." ”
Concubine Xiao sneered: "Queen Mother, you would rather believe in the medicine of the Eastern Tang Dynasty than believe the words of your own family." Concubine, dissatisfied! ”
"You still dare to contradict the mourning family!" The Empress Dowager Jade was furious, and was about to get angry, but she saw Concubine Xiao take out something from her sleeve and hold it high. She looked up, almost fainted with anger, and scolded angrily, "Son! How dare he give you the Nine Dragons Imperial Decree! ”
Concubine Xiao Guifei curled her lips slightly, and said with a smug smile: "Seeing this order is like seeing the founding emperor, the queen mother, the emperor is afraid that you have wronged the concubine, so he gave this order to protect the concubine's life!" ”
The Empress Dowager Jade trembled, and she was really disappointed in Emperor Xuantong. Helpless, as soon as the Nine Dragons Emperor's order came out, even she had to bow her head softly. So the Jade Empress Dowager took Queen Xu and the concubines and palace people to pay a big salute to the concubine Xiao who was holding up the token, not to mention the grievances in their hearts.
After saluting for a while, the Jade Empress Dowager commanded with a blue face: "Give the seat!" "That's fine, she was originally lucky with her eldest son, but now it seems that she doesn't have to endure it anymore!
Concubine Xiao Shi sat down, stroked the shoulder of the panicked Nine Emperor Princes with one hand, and said with a smile: "Good boy, don't be afraid!" Your father has a mother concubine in his heart, and you are the most beloved son, we have your father, no one has to be afraid! ”
As soon as the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, their little faces slowly turned snow-white, and they pursed their lips, unable to say half a word. He was really afraid of Concubine Xiao, and he knew that she was already furious at this time, obviously knowing something about what he had done. At this time, he had a sense of impending disaster!
After a while, people from outside spread that the king of Linzi and the daughter of Zongzheng had arrived. The Empress Dowager Jade hurriedly ordered Gonggong Luo to greet her on her behalf. Because of the presence of foreign ministers, a tall screen was erected in the hall, except for the Jade Empress Dowager Xu and Concubine Xiao, who had no one to support at this time, the rest of the concubines avoided behind the screen.
Concubine Xiao's ears moved slightly, and she heard Zong Zhengke's soft whisper. The smile on her lips grew, and the Nine Emperor Princes became more and more frightened! (To be continued.) )
