Chapter 304: Dripping Blood and Confessing Relatives
"Li Aiqing, you can't even manage the back house well, I see, you are also old, it's time to let Xian." It was rare for Xuanyuan Jing to speak in such a flat tone, but it made the scheming Li Rao, a spirit, hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please forgive the emperor." ”
Wang Ruzhen followed behind and knelt down, although her face was bloodshot, and she didn't even have time to wipe off the blood stains that flowed on her chest, so she kowtowed and said: "Please calm the emperor's anger, don't blame the husband, the courtiers will take them all away." ”
Who knows, the Golden Duchess was unrelenting, and knelt down loudly, "The Golden Duchess also asked the emperor for permission to drop blood to recognize her relatives." ”
"Duchess Jin, you also saw it today, things are all crowded together, the emperor came to the palace of the three princes without eating a single bite of food since he got up in the morning, and now it's noon, you all let the emperor rest and rest." As he spoke, he swept over Lin's face, glanced at the surrounding ministers, his face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was indifferent.
"Although what the noble concubine said is right, it is about the reputation of our Li Mansion and Ye Guogong's Mansion, and besides, it is what Changmou said personally, whether it is true or not, it needs to be tested." Li Changqing had a faint smile on his face.
"Qing'er, Hugh is rude." Li Rao said with a cold face.
"Doesn't my father want to know the truth? I am still afraid that the truth will make my father lose face as my father expected. After Li Changqing said this calmly, his eyes swept over Li Rao coldly, and he closed his mouth tightly.
"I am willing to be a Father." Li Rao couldn't resist this daughter in the end, lowered his head, and knelt there quietly.
"Your Majesty, can you be gracious?" The Golden Duchess spoke appropriately to remind.
"In that case, please ask Imperial Doctor Liang to come over." Imperial Physician Liang was a very good young Imperial Physician during the poisoning of the Empress Dowager last time, and that time he went to dismiss the old Imperial Physician, so he mentioned Imperial Physician Liang, and now he is in charge of the entire Imperial Hospital.
"Can you tell me how to recognize your relatives with blood?" Xuanyuan Jingdao is smart, and he asks clearly before he is ready to speak. Anyway, Tobe Shangshu was still leading a group of people to count the endless silver in the hot weather at this time, and he could also take advantage of this time to pass the time.
"Back to the emperor, there are two ways to recognize relatives by dripping blood: one is called the dripping bone method, and the other is called the blood method." Imperial Physician Liang said slowly, "The bone drip method refers to dripping the blood of a living person on the bones of a dead person, and then carefully observing it to see if the blood of the living person has seeped in. If it can be infiltrated, it means that there is a blood relationship such as parents, children, brothers, etc., and vice versa, there is no relationship.
As for the blood method, it is easier to understand, but when both parties are alive, the blood droplets pricked out are dropped in two or two in the vessel to see if they are coagulated, and if they are coagulated, it means that there is a parent-child relationship. ”
"What Imperial Physician Liang said is that we are going to choose the blood combination method?" Li Changqing asked lightly.
"Exactly."
"As far as I know, there have been rumors in the market that Xuanzong used this method to determine whether he was the son of the Qing Emperor."
"What do you mean by that?" Xuanyuan Jing was also quite curious, how did Xuanzong judge?
"If the emperor wants to know, please don't blame Chang'an." Li Changqing was not in a hurry to say, but ordered Xuanyuan Jing to pardon his guilt. And Xuanyuan Jing was interested, so he nodded in agreement.
Li Changqing said at this time: "Xuanzong's mother is Ning Guohou's concubine, she is beautiful and moving, and she is called the Seven Fairies. And when Emperor Qing was mediocre and lustful, he robbed Xuanzong's mother to the palace, which made Ning Guohou angry and defected to the Northern Dynasty, and then, the 'Seven Fairies' gave birth to Xuanzong prematurely in less than seven months, which caused controversy, and it was suspected that Xuanzong did not know the son of Emperor Qing. When Xuanzong grew up, he also began to doubt. He went to the Northern Dynasty to rob the tomb, dug up Ning Guohou's grave, dug out the bones, and dripped his blood on the bones with the bone drop method, and the blood immediately seeped into the bones. Later, for the sake of insurance, he pulled his own son to use the blood combination method, dripped it into the bowl, and the blood immediately fused with each other. But Xuanzong was suspicious and still didn't believe it, so he killed his own son, and used the bone dropping method to drip his own blood on his son's bones, and then seeped into the bones. At this time, Xuanzong was convinced. went to the Northern Dynasty, was buried for Ning Guohou, and served for three years of mourning, and changed to Xuanzong. ”
After Li Changqing finished speaking, he glanced at Xuanyuan Jing. Only then did Xuanyuan Jing understand why Chang'an asked for atonement in advance. This kind of thing is a rumor in the market, just listen to it, but the rumor is spread by two emperors, so you have to weigh it a little, and it is a little unreasonable to say the emperor's rumors in front of him.
Li Changqing saw Xuanyuan Jing's expression, and said: "However, in addition to this rumor, there is also a beautiful rumor that Meng Jiangnu used the bone dropping method to identify the bones of her husband Wan Xiliang. ”
"The county lord of Chang'an is really knowledgeable, and the ministers are very impressed. What the county lord said is extremely true, whether it is the dripping bone method or the blood combination method, it is just a way, in short, the truth can be identified. ”
"In that case, Li Dequan, take the bowl and start." Xuanyuan Jing also saw this kind of strange thing for the first time, and he looked very interested.
And the ladies in the entire hall also craned their necks to watch.
Li Changqing said that he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Chang'an, for the sake of insurance, first try his own blood and his father's blood with the blood combination method. ”
As he spoke, he bit his index finger, handed a few drops of blood to the bowl, and then brought it to Li Rao and said, "Father, please." ”
Li Rao glanced at Li Changqing with a complicated expression, stretched out his hand and slashed his index finger with the knife handed over by Li Dequan, and also dropped a few drops into it.
The inside of the white porcelain bowl quickly blends into one.
Li Changqing saw it, in fact, she still had some doubts about whether Li Rao was her father, although this suspicion was an insult to her mother, but she was the female version of Xuanzong, and she was suspicious by nature.
Therefore, when she saw Li Rao's complicated expression looking at her, she also knew that he knew his intentions. But Li Changqing didn't stay long, she didn't want to see the sad look in Li Rao's eyes, she had never looked at this father squarely, but today, she wondered that she could feel the sadness in his heart so clearly.
"Your Majesty, it's okay now." Li Changqing brought the bowl to Xuanyuan Jing and asked him to take a look, which made Li Dequan change the two bowls clean again and put them aside.
"Aunt Wang, please drop blood." Li Changqing looked indifferently at Wang Ruzhen, who was hesitant at this time, and smiled coldly when he saw her pale face in the abnormal color of white in the hot sun.
"No, I don't want it!" Wang Ruzhen retracted her hand violently, refusing to drip blood.
"Auntie, is this scared?" Li Changqing's voice was like coming from hell, causing Wang Ruzhen to raise his head suddenly, and scolded sharply: "You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose, you know the truth, right?" ”
"Chill Warbler! Hold her for me and bleed! ”
Not only do I know, but I also want you to not even be able to enter the Li Mansion, so that you can watch your precious son fall from the position of your sister-in-law and become a concubine who can be bullied.
Han Ying simply raised the knife with her hand, handed over several drops of blood, and then brought it to Li Changmou, who had passed out, cut his palm, and then put the blood into the bowl, and soon fused into one.
"Miss, together."
Wang Ruzhen's face changed suddenly, and then she said to Li Changqing: "You, you and Changmou will definitely merge together." ”
"Is Aunt Wang joking?" Li Changqing glanced at her coldly, took another empty bowl, and then pinched her wound just now, pinched a few drops of blood hard, and then squeezed out a few more drops of his wound into the bowl.
As a result, the blood was simply repulsed, and even Li Changqing couldn't dial it together with his hand, raised his head, curled the corners of his lips, and said to the emperor with a smile: "The truth is so, please discern the emperor." ”
"Girl, shouldn't you be blooded with Li Ergongzi?" Xuanyuan Jing was suddenly a little confused.
"Your Majesty, if Chang'an and Changmou are combined, they will be fused, after all, we are half-siblings, and we have our father's blood on our bodies, and if we are combined, we can't tell the difference. And Chang'an and Aunt Wang are different, except for the nominal relationship between mother and daughter, they have no blood relationship, and they want to be related to Aunt Wang. In this way, I can tell if Changmou is my own brother or not. ”
When Imperial Physician Liang heard this, he laughed.
"What the county lord said is very true, if you are blood-related with the second son of Li, you can't tell the difference, this is the best and fastest way."
As soon as these words came out, it clearly meant that Li Changqing's method had been judged very clearly, and this Li Ergongzi was not Li Changqing's younger brother.
"No, no, I'm going to drip blood again." Wang Ruzhen grabbed Li Changqing's arm like crazy, and imprisoned him tightly, with a terrifying ferocity in his eyes.
Li Changqing broke Wang Ruzhen's hand one finger at a time, asked for the bowl again, dripped blood into it for the third time without hesitation, and then brought the blood to Li Changmou, squeezed the blood, and the blood slowly began to melt together, but the speed of fusion was obviously much slower than Li Changqing and Li Rao, Wang Ruzhen and Li Changmou, but in the end it still melted.
"It seems that Aunt Wang is not beating the Yellow River, you can see for yourself, if you think there is still a problem with what the county lord said, you can let the second sister and you try it, and see if the speed of fusion is faster than mine?"
"Enough!" Li Rao interrupted Li Changqing's words, walked over, and beat Wang Ruzhen to the ground in front of the emperor without saying a word.
Then he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where am I?" ”
Wang Ruzhen's face was stained with sweat, like rain, crackling and smashing to the ground.
"No, father, it's all wrong, it's all wrong, it's not my own brother, this must be a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy!"
"Second Miss Li, are you saying that my Qing'er clearly staged a conspiracy in front of the emperor, in front of the civil and military officials, and in front of the queen and concubine?" The Golden Duchess had to ask unforgivingly.
