Chapter 206: Relatives Examination (3)
Queen Nan was overjoyed in her heart, no longer concealed it, and told all the things she had verified and planned: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine found out that Mei Yantong's health has been worse day by day since Concubine Zhuang entered the palace. Until a year ago, he was diagnosed with not long to live. And after that, Concubine Zhuang hoped that His Majesty would agree to her return to Ning on the grounds that her father was ill and wanted to go home to serve her filial piety. His Majesty was lenient and granted her request. However, Concubine Zhuang didn't know how to be grateful, but took advantage of this return to Ning, went to Mei's house, and spent a long time alone with Mei Yantong! A few days later, Concubine Zhuang returned to the palace and was soon confirmed to be pregnant by the imperial doctor. Your Majesty, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? ”
"Concubine Zhuang," Situ Bi asked in an unkind tone, "What the queen just said, do you want to defend it?" ”
Zhuang Feiyu shook his head weakly: "What the queen mother said is true, and the concubines have nothing to say. ”
Could it be that the evidence collected by the queen was too powerful, and Zhuang Feiyu lost her fighting spirit, so that she felt that she had no room for maneuver, so she simply gave up fighting? Everyone was shocked, they came with the mentality of watching the queen and Concubine Zhuang's show, but they didn't expect things to develop so uneventfully.
Situ Bi's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhuang Feiyu deadly, as if he wanted to see some clues from her. However, Zhuang Feiyu just lowered his eyes and remained silent. Finally, Situ Bi waved his hand: "Queen, check your relatives!" ”
The queen tugged at her dress and commanded, "Let's begin." ”
Mama Zhu nodded slowly, and hugged the sleeping child in her arms to Bai Gu. Another housekeeper who was waiting in the temple stepped forward with a silver needle in her hand. recommended himself to Situ Bi: "Your Majesty Wan'an, the old slave is the mother Qiu who is responsible for delivering the baby in the palace, and Concubine Zhuang's child was delivered by the old slave yesterday." ”
Situ Bi closed his eyes and nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard, and Mama Qiu continued: "Today's family examination, the queen mother found the bones of a suspicious person, so what we adopt is this 'blood dripping bones' method to test blood relatives." As the saying goes, bone and blood are compatible, and if it is the blood of father and son, it will definitely be fused together. So. Just prick your child's finger. Drop two drops of blood on top of the white bone and see if the blood droplets can be integrated into the bones, so you can determine whether this person is the biological father of the child. ”
After listening to Mama Qiu's words, Situ Bi asked. "This method may work?"
Mama Qiu swore an oath: "The old slave guarantees with his life." This method is absolutely reliable! Many families in the people have adopted this method to check their relatives. There will be no mistake, I hope that Your Majesty will relax and just wait for the aftermath. Again, it is. ”
Situ Bi stopped talking when she heard this, and the queen immediately made a look, and Mama Qiu understood and held the child's small hand with one hand. The silver needle was sharp and thin, and Mama Qiu stabbed the baby's fingertips mercilessly. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the child who was originally asleep woke up in an instant due to the sudden severe pain, and opened his voice and cried! Beads of red blood poured out from the delicate fingertips, and many people present were a little unbearable. And Zhuang Feiyu was even more pale, trying to force himself not to see the crying child.
Mama Qiu pinched the child's fingers, and the blood on his fingertips fell on the terrifying skeleton one by one. Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak, not even to make any moves. Situ Bi couldn't help but get up and probe to see what was going on.
I saw that the child's blood fell to the white bones, and he beat it lightly, and then the blood beads gradually dispersed and slowly melted into the bones. Moments later, the blood melted into the bones, leaving only a patch of scarlet.
Queen Nan knew in her heart that this was the result, and she was satisfied to see that everyone present had changed their faces, especially Situ Bi, whose face was cold and terrifying! I saw him stride forward, slap Zhuang Feiyu who was slumped in the chair, and shouted angrily: "What a shameless woman!" I have been so sincere to you, but you have fornicated with others and have given birth to a son. If you hadn't discovered it early, you would have raised this evil obstacle by hand! ”
Zhuang Feiyu received a slap from him, one of his cheeks instantly rose high and swollen, and the corners of his mouth also overflowed with blood. Her hair was messy, and she only had a pair of beautiful big eyes with tears in them, staring at Situ Bi silently.
Queen Nan was afraid that Situ Bi would have pity for Zhuang Feiyu again, so she hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, this matter has been revealed, it seems that Concubine Zhuang does have a personal relationship with Mei Yan." According to the palace rules, Concubine Zhuang and the son of the sin need to be killed with a cane. And Concubine Zhuang's mother's family should also be copied all over the house. As for Mei Yantong, he has been dead for a long time, so he will confiscate his Mei family's family property, and his clansmen will be sent to the frontier as slaves. ”
"Your Majesty, the slave has something to say!" A clear Lingling voice came, interrupting the queen's words.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was the palace maid on Concubine Zhuang's side who spoke. Since the beginning of the fight, this maid didn't say a word, just silently accompanied Concubine Zhuang, inconspicuous. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she successfully attracted everyone's attention. This maid looks ordinary, at most she can be regarded as delicate, but her eyes are very smart.
Queen Nan saw that the matter was about to settle, and someone came out to interrupt at this time, her face was displeased, and she shouted: "Bold slave!" What kind of place should you be, in front of Your Majesty and the palace, how can you speak as a slave or maid! ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the slave has something to say, I have to say it!" Han Xi pretended to be Zhuang Feiyu's personal maid and accompanied her to Fengqi Palace, just to help Zhuang Feiyu turn over. She knew that the queen would obstruct her in every way, so she wisely chose to put the right to speak on Situ Bi. Han Xi stepped forward, knelt down in front of Situ Bi, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, my young lady has been wronged!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Just now, everyone saw with their own eyes, when the "blood drops and white bones" tested, the blood of Concubine Zhuang's son was indeed integrated into the bones of the Mei family's son, how could it be fake? This girl is too bold, in front of the facts, she dares to shout injustice!
"If she was wronged, then you tell me, what's going on?" Situ Bi had a cold face, pointed to the white bones on the ground that were red with blood beads, and asked.
Han Xi didn't speak, but suddenly got up and rushed to Mei Yantong's bones. Before everyone could come to their senses in shock, she bit her finger hard. Blood dripped down the bones again, and everything was exactly as it had happened before, and little by little, the blood beads seeped into the bones.
"How can it be ......" After all, some of the younger concubines couldn't help but exclaimed softly. It was all so strange that everyone present held their breath and was suspicious. It's just that no one dares to ask in person.
Han Xi knelt in front of Situ Bi again, his voice was sonorous, and he said word by word: "Your Majesty, the blood of the slave can also be integrated into the bones of Mei Gongzi. If this method can really verify blood relatives, then isn't the slave maid the daughter born to Mei Gongzi? (To be continued.) )
