Chapter 82: The Eldest Son (1)
For a while, Xu Qing'er actually regretted speaking for that child, and everyone in the hall had different thoughts, and was saying Fuqing's name, Fuqing had already come in from outside the hall, and walked in quickly with a booklet in his hand. handed over the booklet in his hand to Tuoba Chen, who opened it and looked at it, his expression became more and more solemn, like the sky where the mountains and rain were coming, sinking like water.
"Emperor, what might you be able to see?" Concubine De said in a leisurely tone.
"Li Jingui was still in the imperial dining room a year ago, I ...... I did pamper her, but she should have been given a position, but she was sent to the Penal Division for stealing, and then sent to the criminal slave. Tuoba Chen replied in a deep voice according to the record on the roster.
"What kind of place does the Punishment Division look like, if this child is really His Majesty's, how can he be safe?" Lan Ruo questioned it, and she didn't blame her for being careless, but she never thought that such a severe punishment from the Prudential Criminal Division would not hurt this child in the slightest.
Her doubts were actually questioned by Tuoba Chen, but Tuoba Chen did not agree, just quietly waiting for one person - Lu Chuan.
If there is still someone in the world who can prove the identity of this child, it must be Lu Chuan.
Xu Qing'er said leisurely: "Your Majesty also said a year ago, but I think this child is not like a child more than a year old, and his words are incomplete. ”
Seeing that Xu Qing'er had spoken, Lan Ruo felt more confident in her heart, and Lan Xin hurriedly said: "Today's matter is also very strange, the sin slave went out of the water for no reason, and found the mother and son again, besides, Li Jingui didn't say it sooner or later, but waited for His Majesty to come before he said it, could it be that we were afraid that we would hurt their mother and son?" Between the words, there is already the arrogance of a person in a high position, like a snow lotus blooming in the sky, charming and arrogant.
Tuoba Chen was annoyed by them, and when he turned his head, he saw He Xi sitting upright on the chair, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help asking, "What does Concubine Xi think?" ”
He Xi raised his head when he heard this, looked at the child next to the concubine and said: "What the concubine said is right, it is a matter of royal blood, and it must not be sloppy, and the concubine believes that Imperial Doctor Lu can reveal the truth of the matter, but the concubine has something unclear." ”
"I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say, what is the matter?" Tuoba Chen naturally knew that He Xi could always cut in from a peculiar angle, and then go straight to the center of the problem. So he was very curious about what kind of question she could ask: "The age and other questions that Concubine Xu Shu said are very easy to answer, Li Jingui himself is a stupid person, there is no way to teach children to speak, but it is still understandable, as for the size, the place where the slave is sinner, there is no food, no clothes, and less than a month, it can also be said, but whether this fire was put by Li Jingui or not, if it is true." She put it, did she want to plan something? ”
He Xi said with a puzzled look, this time, I don't know if it is the people at the top, or the palace maids serving at the bottom, they all feel that it is impossible, everyone has seen Li Jingui's appearance, if she has any intentions, it is simply a fantasy.
Looking at everyone's expressions, He Xi knew that they didn't believe it either, and then said: "If not, why go to great lengths to set this fire, is it because someone can't see their mother and son alive?" Want to get rid of it quickly? ”
The faces of everyone on the field changed in unison, and Xu Qing'er even peeked at the queen, and her heart sank, could it be that the queen knew the identity of this child and wanted to get rid of it?
Lan Ruo was furious, stretched out his plain white fingers, and pointed at He Xi with a slight tremble: "Are you alluding to the fact that this palace has no room for people?" ”
He Xi lowered his eyes neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said with a low eyebrow and pleasing look: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just raised a question." "There were no hysterical accusations, no sharp confrontations, like very smooth pebbles washed by the river, no water chestnuts, but very hard.
"Well, you're the Queen! Look at what it looks like now! Concubine De reprimanded coldly, Lan Ruo's breath was stagnant, but she didn't dare to speak anymore, all the dissatisfaction and anger were accumulated in her chest, and her heart was full of pain, Qiao'er took a step forward at the right time, refilled the hot tea, and shook her head gently at Lan Ruo, at this time, Lu Chuan entered the hall, glanced at Li Jingui lying in the hall, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
He was accustomed to seeing such a lost life in this palace, and perhaps others thought that he was the supreme healer and enjoyed the glory, but he always doubted whether he was right or wrong.
Don't look away, he bowed to Tuoba Chen and said, "Weichen Lu Chuan sees Your Majesty, the concubine, the queen's mother, what is the matter with Your Majesty's edict?" ”
Tuoba Chen pointed to the child in Concubine De's hand and said, "Recognize relatives with blood." ”
Lu Chuan was startled, and hurriedly looked at the child, it didn't matter if he looked at it, there was really some similarity between his eyebrows and eyes, Lu Chuan calmed down and leaned over to say yes.
He took out the silver needle from his medicine box, wiped it carefully with a suede velvet cloth, and then stepped forward, the palace maid had already prepared a white jade porcelain bowl filled with water, Tuoba Chen stretched out his index finger, Lu Chuan said offended, and then quickly stabbed, a drop of blood was dripping in the water, slowly sinking to the bottom of the water, Aunt Ruizhi signed the child again, seeing the silver needle in Lu Chuan's hand, the child couldn't help but be a little afraid. Hurriedly hid behind Ruizhi.
Aunt Ruizhi's heart softened, she was the dowry maid of Concubine De, and she had never become a biological child in her life, so she inevitably felt some regrets in her heart, and she felt extra pity for this child, she softly coaxed the child to come closer, Lu Chuan's hand was extremely fast, and the child only felt that his fingers had no feeling, only saw a small drop of blood, and it dripped into the water. Slowly fell next to Tuoba Chen's blood, and did not move.
The stamen branch was close and saw it clearly, and he was a little shocked for a while.
Lu Chuan carefully took the white porcelain bowl and brought it to Tuoba Chen's face, Tuoba Chen just glanced at it, and then leaned back on the chair, Lan Ruo was curious at first, and then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, He Xi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Let's put it to death." Tuoba Chen's face was full of cold looks, and when he opened his mouth, he said such cruel words, even Concubine De didn't speak, that person asked for his own thing, and he had already done it. The rest of the matter should not be in her hands, and it is not something she can manage.
"Wait, Imperial Doctor Lu, can you show me that bowl?" He Xi suddenly spoke, Lu Chuan looked back at Tuoba Chen, and Tuoba Chen nodded a little tiredly.
He Xi took the bowl and saw two blood stains on one side of it. The good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, it is impossible, Tuoba Yue's information cannot be wrong, but why can't this blood be fused together? There must be something wrong, the blood was taken by Lu Chuan, there can be no problem, that is this water, and the smile on the corner of Fang Cai Lan Ruo's lips suddenly came to mind in his mind.
She turned around and walked towards Li Jingui's corpse below, she didn't seem to be afraid at all, leaned down, pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and stabbed Li Jingui's hand fiercely, Li Jingui had been out of breath for a long time, his body was a little stiff, and even the blood was a little solidified, He Xi used a lot of strength to squeeze out a drop of blood, dripped it into the bowl, and waited for a while, but I didn't see that this drop of blood was compatible with any of the drops.
Lu Chuan saw He Xi's strange expression, and hurriedly said, "Little Master Xi has found something wrong?" ”
He Xi knelt on the ground, raised the bowl in his hand above his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this Li Jingui is the biological mother of this child, and now her blood cannot be blended with this child's blood, which is really strange." ”
Lu Chuan hurriedly walked down the jade steps and took the bowl in He Xi's hand, and sure enough, he had doubts in his heart, this position was closer to the palace door, and the sunlight outside the door passed through the window lattice. The beaten ones were sprinkled in a small way, shining on the water surface, Lu Chuan only felt that something was wrong, and took it out to observe carefully, and there was a layer of faint and almost invisible oil stains floating on the water surface.
It is colorless and odorless, with a transparent texture, and can barely be seen when floating on the water.
If it weren't for standing in the sun, it would be no different from ordinary water, and he knew why Li Jingui's blood couldn't blend with it, the blood was wrapped in a layer of oil at the moment it dripped into the water, and naturally it couldn't be blended.
He explained the situation again, Tuoba Chen glanced at Lan Ruo lightly, Lan Ruo's heart was awe-inspiring, and he turned his head to reprimand the palace maid who had just gone down to prepare the water and said, "You are really so bold, who is the instigation of you?" The little palace maid was frightened, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said repeatedly: "It was the slave who was careless, and accidentally took the bowl that served the pastries to the mother before. ”
"Drag it down first, and wait for the palace to fall." The crying little palace maid was escorted down, and this time the water prepared by Fuqing himself was also served, this time Lu Chuan did not dare to act rashly, first used the blood of Li Jingui and the child to drip with each other, and sure enough, within a moment's effort, they melted together, which proved that there was no problem with the water this time.
As it was concocted, after Tuoba Chen's blood dripped in, everyone watched with bated breath.
Melted, blood melted.
Lan Ruo was almost paralyzed on the soft seat, and the aura on Xu Qing'er's body was even lower, only Concubine De said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, happy to the prince, the next time the mourning family dreams of the first emperor again, I will have an explanation, good, good, wow." ”
Tuoba Chen didn't know what kind of feeling he felt for a while, he didn't feel excited, just like he had an ordinary object.
Everyone knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning the prince." ”
