Chapter 126: Blood Confession (2)
Blood test?!
Meng Xilan sat with her forehead propped up when she heard this, and she was shocked in her heart.
After the Changqing Palace began to be haunted, Zhou Shixian and the Queen Mother both ordered a strict investigation, but after checking and checking, they did not find anything suspicious.
Since it is not man-made, the rumors of ghosts and gods will become more true.
Zhou Shixian has always had doubts about Zhou Youchen's son, he can't love it, he can't hate it, and he can't bear to really execute him with his own hands. Therefore, he only denied his son and left him to fend for himself in the palace...... However, after this bloody confession, once the result is obtained, it is a definite fact, and he cannot be allowed to turn a blind eye and listen to it. As the saying goes, family ugliness is not publicized, not to mention royal scandals, once it is spread outside the palace, it will become everyone's laughing stock. However, Zhou Shixian was willing to make a painful decision this time, I am afraid that he already has the answer in his heart.
The blood test may be just a form under the guise of a test, maybe Zhou Shixian has already passed a certain method and learned that Zhou Youchen is indeed his biological flesh and blood.
Gao Fuli continued: "It is said that when the blood was tested, the emperor withdrew a group of palace people, leaving only Chang Hai Chang Gonggong and Jiao Nian Pingjiao Imperial Doctor, and the results after that were only known to the three of them. However, after this incident, the emperor seems to have determined that the Nine Emperors are of royal blood, so he will issue an order to engrave his name into the imperial tree...... On the fifteenth day of the next month, the Nine Emperor Princes will be taken to the Temple of Heaven to worship the ancestors. ”
The incident happened suddenly, Meng Xilan was stunned, her brain was also wooden, and she couldn't judge for a while, whether this incident was evil or lucky?
She didn't have time to think about it, so she heard Gao Fuli next to her speak again: "Master, he is really prescient, he has always been gentle and kind to the Nine Emperor Princes in the past, but now that he has turned over, I am afraid it will not be difficult to get the position of the king of the county in the future......"
Meng Xilan heard half of it, looked up at Gao Fuli, her eyes were as deep as an abyss: "I'm good to him, it's not prescient, it's just that I look at him pitiful." How old is he, can I be guilty of scheming on him? ”
She didn't like Xiao Lizi's attitude when she said this, as if she was good to anyone, and there was a purpose behind it. For Zhou Youchen, she doesn't need to start, she has nothing to do with him, she just met a few times by coincidence...... She has no reason to be good to him, and even more so to treat him badly...... Moreover, there are so many secrets hidden in his body, which makes people uneasy and worried.
Gao Fuli knew that he was talking too much, and he said something that he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "The slave is too talkative." The slave just wanted to say that the master had another friend in the palace in the future. ”
Zhu Lu glared at him secretly, took his words and said: "Master, when the Nine Emperor Princes were bullied in the past, you also helped him twice, and now, he has turned over and corrected his name, and he will also be a righteous master in the palace in the future. ”
Meng Xilan didn't think about it so much, she just felt that this was another variable, a variable she didn't expect!
Whether Zhou Youchen is Zhou Shixian's biological flesh and blood, the truth of this matter may not be as complicated as imagined. Perhaps, it's just that the emperor is too suspicious...... Perhaps, it was just a provocation from someone who had a heart at the time......
If Zhou Youchen can turn over, of course, it is a good thing, but he is only eleven years old this year, and without the care and help of his mother, no one knows how long he can go in the future. Although according to his current identity and status, he is just a small pebble inside and outside the government and the opposition, but even if it is a small piece of sand, it may cause unexpected waves.
Zhou Shixian has a total of nine sons, in terms of qualifications, the most outstanding is Zhou Youlin, in terms of bloodline, the most noble is Zhou Youping, he is the late Queen Yuan, both the eldest son and the eldest son.
The situation between the DPRK and China is now clear. The crown prince and Prince Xian are fighting openly and secretly, even now, Zhou Youlin is in the limelight and occupies various advantages, but in essence, the prince's power is still not underestimated, especially when Chu Jingwen is pregnant, many people's attitudes and positions towards him have become ambiguous.
The forces of the DPRK and China have always been intertwined and entangled. Whoever wants to dominate will become the target of public criticism in the end. When the prince was arrogant, the ministers were the opposite, and now Zhou Youlin is in the big picture, and those pedantic ministers in the court also have something to say.
Now, Empress Su also intends to support the crown prince, the purpose is nothing more than to contain Concubine Ning's arrogance, although her three princes are not angry, but fortunately, there is still a ready-made shield for the prince to use.
Seeing that Queen Su and Concubine Ning have their own calculations, each according to one side, but it has really become the Chu River Han realm. The other concubines in the palace did not dare to express their stance rashly, with the position of seeing the wind and making the rudder, they just wanted to watch the tiger fight from the other side, ask for some excitement, and wait and see.
Before Meng Xilan returned to the palace, her position was already very firm, and now, with the help of Concubine Ning, she has finalized the family affair with the Weiyuan Hou family, and the Meng family's loyalty to Zhou Youlin will be unshakable in the future. In this way, although the Meng family has been reused by Concubine Ning and Prince Xian, there are also a lot of enemies invisibly.
Gao Fuli saw Meng Xilan holding his chin, and he was slightly distracted, falling into deep thought, and only swallowed back what he was going to say below.
He turned his head to look at Zhulu and gave her a look.
When Zhu Lu saw it, he leaned over and whispered, "Does the master have a headache?" The slave and maid press the master, okay? ”
Meng Xilan said in a low voice, "Okay." ”
Zhulu hurriedly stood behind her, stretched out four fingers, and pressed them on her temples to rub them gently.
Gao Fuli continued: "Master, the congratulatory gifts given to the Nine Emperor Princes in various palaces are basically almost, but we haven't prepared yet. You see...... What should the minions have in stock? ”
If it is someone else, this idea is trivial, and he can make up his own mind. But Zhou Youchen can be regarded as having a little friendship with his master, but it is not far away, and he is not easy to make up his mind.
Gift...... Meng Xilan suddenly felt that these two words were a little harsh, Zhou Youchen had suffered a hard life in the palace for ten years, and now he just got back the name that belonged to him, what is there to celebrate? He is the Nine Emperor Princes, but he has never enjoyed the glory and respect of being a prince, what is there to celebrate?
"Don't bother to prepare anything, just let the imperial dining room make two boxes of dim sum and send them over." Meng Xilan lightly left a sentence. She didn't know what she was worried about, Xu Yes, she felt worthless and wronged for Zhou Youchen in her heart.
Changqing Palace is still the Changqing Palace, dilapidated and old, deserted, even if it is just in the bright day, it still exudes a gloomy atmosphere. It's just that the owner of Changqing Palace has changed, although his name is still Zhou Youchen, but now in this palace, no one dares to call him a "little madman".
Zhou Youchen is in the eyes of the emperor right now, but his eyes are hot. Xu Yes, as a father, Zhou Shixian felt guilty in his heart, and wanted to make up for his debt to his son, so he had to call Zhou Youchen to his side every day, ask him about his food, clothing, daily life, and homework, and even let him accompany him to review the folds.
A few days later, Gao Fuli heard about something, saying that a group of palace people were going to be released in the palace recently, including eunuchs, palace maids, and a few elderly grandmothers, many of whom were people who had bullied Zhou Youchen.
When Meng Xilan heard this, she just nodded slightly: "That's fine, there are too many snobs in the palace, and a few who like to fall into the well are more quiet." ”
Gao Fuli nodded in agreement: "The master is right, such a slave should not be kept." ”
Meng Xilan lowered her head and continued to ponder the needlework in her hands, she was not good at female celebrities in the first place, and now she wants to make something small, which is also very difficult. After embroidering with two stitches, I accidentally slipped on my hand, and as a result, my fingertips were pierced by the tip of the needle, and the piercing was very deep, and I bled instantly.
Gao Fuli was startled, and hurriedly called Zhu Qingzhu Lu in.
Meng Xilan was the most bloodless, and she was busy holding her fingertips in her mouth, frowning at the panicked crowd: "I'm fine, I'm just poking a little skin." ”
After speaking, she threw the embroidered bandage aside with some discouragement: "It seems that I still can't do this." ”
The smell of blood in her mouth slowly dissipated, Meng Xilan's brows couldn't help frowning deeper and deeper, and she slowly got up and said, "Don't embroider, Xiao Lizi will accompany me out for a walk." ”
Gao Fu was ordered, and hurriedly followed behind the master, and took the master's light pink cloak from Zhu Qing's hand.
Outside, the spring is brilliant, there is no wind and no waves, looking up is a bright sunshine, and looking down is a burst of flowers.
Meng Xilan only felt that it was right for her to come out for a walk, otherwise, she would continue to do needlework in the house, and she didn't know how many times she would have to prick her fingers.
If you want to enjoy spring flowers, the best place in the palace is the Imperial Garden.
Gao Fuli accompanied Meng Xilan all the way to the pavilion to rest, and didn't dare to say a word in the middle.
Meng Xilan looked at the fragrance of the court and asked him, "Why do you talk so little today?" ”
"The slave is afraid of disturbing the master's good interest." Gao Fuli bowed his head and replied, for some reason, the master's temperament has always been a little moody in the past two days.
Meng Xilan glanced at him, pointed to the small daisies that were blooming just right in the west, and said, "You go and fold some, and turn around and hand it to Zhulu to put in my room." ”
Gao Fuli replied yes, hurriedly trotted over, carefully pinched off the slender flower branches, and in a few moments, a large bunch was folded in his hand.
"Master, look at ......" He ran over happily, but he paused halfway, looked behind Meng Xilan, blinked and pointed: "Master...... That's not ......"
Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows, puzzled, turned her head to look, but caught a glimpse of a thin figure standing among the grass outside the pavilion, unable to see her facial features clearly, only revealing a fair-skinned side face hidden by the shade of a tree.
Meng Xilan was slightly frightened, and was about to ask out loud, when the man turned around, a pair of dark blue eyes were facing her gaze, he walked out of the bushes step by step, and the clear and bright amber eyes gradually covered with a faint golden light with the warm sun above his head.
