Innocent?

Before the words fell, she saw the eldest princess laughing indifferently: "The prince is indeed innocent, because he had no choice to give birth to your child, he became an illegitimate child." But after that, in order to cover up his background, the prince also did a lot of things. ”

Emperor Xuanqing's gaze turned heavily to the crown prince Zhu Shenjian.

This is his eldest son, when the prince was born, he also loved this son very much, so much so that after becoming the emperor, he didn't think about making this eldest son the prince. At that time, Meng Zheping wrote that since Zhu Shenjian was the eldest son of the concubine, and he had not heard of a loss in virtue, he would be appointed as the prince earlier, and he would also cut off the thoughts of the side branches, so as not to cause chaos in the world. He did not object, even if the four princes and the fifth prince of Concubine Yi were all smarter and more stable than Zhu Shenjian, he did not change the state prince.

But he never expected that this son would not be his.

For many years, he has been deceived very hard.

Does it hurt?

I don't feel it anymore.

There were too many things tonight, one after another, all of them hit the old emperor's heart, and every time he thought he was numb, something came out that made him very painful.

He could only hold on and ask: "I'm asking once, prince, is it my son?" ”

"The concubine swears to heaven that the crown prince is His Majesty's biological son!" Empress Chen cried with tears on her face: "Although I was sorry for you in the past, I promise you that the crown prince is your son." Between me and him, even if I was wanton before, I never thought of giving birth to his child, in those two years, you fought on the battlefield, and when you came back, I was stupid for a while, Meng Zheping can speak well, I was deceived by him! Then you came back, and you were so good to me, I ...... How could I not be in love with you? ”

The look on Emperor Xuanqing's face shook a little.

For a moment, he remembered Empress Chen many years ago. Empress Chen was also a famous beauty in the capital when she was young, and on the wedding night, when she raised her hijab, although she was indifferent to herself, he was still moved. Between the sheets, Queen Chen rarely takes the initiative, but when he asks for it, she can also take the initiative to give it to him.

Indeed, as Empress Chen said, in the first two years of marriage, he did not return home all day......

It's all in the past, what's the point of pursuing it?

He would not be willing to forgive Empress Chen, and in the harem, he would never tolerate such a woman again. But if the crown prince is really his son, no matter how big the mistake is, he is willing to leave this child's life.

Just because, this child has also suffered a lot because of him!

This is what he owes to the child!

Seeing that his expression was shaken, Empress Chen immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Your Majesty, you believe in the concubine for the last time, and the concubine can prove the prince's innocence!" ”

Seeing this, the eldest princess took a step forward and was about to speak, but she didn't think about it, but she was pulled by Pei Xie Tang on her side. Pei Xie Tang shook his head slightly: "Eldest princess, don't go." ”

Later, she vaguely guessed.

Emperor Xuanqing asked, "How do you prove it?" ”

"Blood test!" Empress Chen raised her head with a firm gaze: "The old method passed down by the ancestors, in the past, there were disobedient women in the clan who were accused, and the children born were criticized, and they were all identified by this method, isn't it?" When His Majesty was still in his last days, we had also seen the clan deal with that person, and His Majesty also approved of this method. ”

When Pei Xie Tang heard this, he lightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

No wonder Empress Chen did not hesitate to die, but also to keep the crown prince, it turned out that her queen was here.

Qi Meng thought that he had seen through this, so he said with certainty that he would do it tonight.

She smiled.

Qi Meng, I really can't see it, I originally thought it was a tame little sheep, but it turned out that she looked away, this is also a fierce hungry wolf, as soon as she made a move, she wanted all the Qi family to be buried together.

It's just that what hole cards does she have, and she is sure that Emperor Xuanqing will keep her, the seed of the Qi family?

"It's up to you." Needless to say, Emperor Xuanqing naturally agreed.

Empress Chen was relieved and instructed the maidservant behind her, Rouyi: "Go, fetch two bowls of water." ”

Rouyi blessed the blessed body, and was just about to move, when the second prince Zhu Jianshu, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke: "Slow down, let Jinghe's father-in-law go." ”

Emperor Xuanqing pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Jinghe's father-in-law stepped out more and more, and walked to Rouyi with a face: "Let the old slave go, it's better for Rouyi to follow the queen's mother." ”

This attitude has made it clear that there is no room for falsification in this matter. Rouyi's heart trembled, and she had to retreat to Queen Chen's side, Queen Chen's face was already snow-white, and after her body shook, she didn't say anything. Only a pair of eyes still have brilliance, Pei Xie Tang looked at it coldly, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that Queen Chen still has a trick to keep the prince.

After a while, Jinghe's father-in-law brought water over and put it on the desk.

Emperor Xuanqing walked over without saying a word, the prince had to walk out hard, Emperor Xuanqing made the first move, squeezed a drop of blood into the water with a dagger, and then, the prince had to follow the action. Two drops of blood fell into the water, and everyone was heartbroken. Zhu Jianshu was excited, he had been looking forward to it for many years, and he was looking forward to the prince's bad luck; The third prince, Zhu Zonglin, is still blind, but he also knows that the matter is serious, so he looked at his two brothers and Zhu Xinzhi on the side, and finally chose to be like Zhu Xinzhi and keep his mouth shut.

For a moment, the hall was very quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the bowl of water.

Two drops of blood dripped into the water and sank to the bottom of the water and slowly fainted, and after a while, it became a bowl of blood water.

"Melt! Melt! ”

Empress Chen cried with joy on the side: "Your Majesty, look! You believe in the concubine, the prince is your own flesh and blood! ”

Emperor Xuanqing still didn't speak.

The prince didn't speak.

The father and son glanced at it calmly, and the prince's eyes showed a little grievance, but when he faced Empress Chen, he showed extreme exhaustion and impatience, he suppressed it, and only taught Emperor Xuanqing to see it. Emperor Xuanqing didn't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he really felt a little more comfortable in his heart - before, he was afraid that the son he had raised for thirty years was really not his own!

The eldest princess lost her voice: "Impossible! That's impossible! Back then, I heard Meng Zheping admit that this child was his son, and there could be no mistake! ”

"Qing Lian, that's enough!" Emperor Xuanqing interrupted the eldest princess in a cold voice, he was afraid, afraid to hear this, he looked at the old eldest princess, and couldn't help but think in his heart, so many years of guilt to make up, he failed to eliminate the resentment in the eldest princess's heart, but let her resentment grow and deform, when did the little sister also change a person?

The eldest princess took a step back: "It's not like this, he's not ......"

However, Emperor Xuanqing no longer listened to him.

Pei Xie Tang looked at Emperor Xuanqing and then at the eldest princess, and finally had to look at Zhu Xinzhi, he had made so many preparations, it was impossible not to expect such a situation. What's next?

What answered her was Zhu Jianshu's figure.

"Father, my aunt has never lied, since she said that she heard it with her own ears, she must have heard it." Zhu Jianshu said calmly: "Since my aunt is still suspicious, and for the sake of the emperor's innocence, it is common for my father to be cautious. After all, the imperial brother is going to be the emperor in the future, and his bloodline is impure, and he is criticized, and it is a joke to spread it to my Donglu. ”

Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, for Emperor Xuanqing, who loves the country and the people, nothing is more important than choosing a qualified heir to the Great Unification!

Although Emperor Xuanqing was displeased, he still said, "How else do you want to check?" The water was brought by Jing and his father-in-law, and the dagger was brought by me. ”

"Erchen can absolutely trust Jinghe's father-in-law, but he can't trust the queen." Zhu Jianshu whispered: "At the banquet before, my aunt accused Chen Zhao of framing the prince, in addition to plotting rebellion, didn't she also say that the fifth brother is not the son of the imperial brother?" Since this is the case, Erchen has to use the greatest malice to speculate that if Empress Chen wants to cooperate with Chen Zhao, it is expected that there will be a blood test, then, prepare in advance the water that can make the blood of the fifth brother blend with anyone, and there is no worry that the fifth brother will not be nailed to death in the eyes of the illegitimate child at that time. ”

It's rare for Zhu Jianshu's brain to be so clear!

Pei Xie Tang nodded secretly, this point, she didn't even think of caring about chaos!

Emperor Xuanqing was puzzled for a while: "What do you mean ......?"

"If Erchen remembers correctly, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet was arranged and handled by the queen's mother inside and out, right?" Zhu Jianshu looked up at Jing He and his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, where did you get this water?" ”

"There is a well outside the temple." Jinghe's father-in-law was stunned.

Zhu Jianshu nodded: "Send someone to fetch another bowl." ”

Jinghe's father-in-law looked at Emperor Xuanqing, and when Emperor Xuanqing nodded, he went out again to make a bowl.

The water was placed on the table, and Zhu Jianshu's eyes looked at the people in the hall, the men left today were more or less related to Emperor Xuanqing, only the princesses had little to do with each other, and at most they had expressions. His eyes finally fell on Pei Xie Tang, this is Xie Yijiang's daughter, Xie Yijiang and his wife have nothing to do with the royal family......

"Son-in-law." Pei Xie Tang came into contact with his gaze, and immediately understood what Zhu Jianshu meant, she stepped forward, and cut her hand to take blood without saying a word.

She has made up her mind so far, Emperor Xuanqing is difficult to ride a tiger, and she also frowns and drips blood again.

"Look, it's melting!" After waiting for a while, he really saw that the two drops of blood in the bowl were fused together again, Zhu Jianshu looked like a god, and couldn't help laughing, as soon as the laughter came out, he felt that it was wrong, and he held it back.

Emperor Xuanqing's face was pale.

Empress Chen sat on the ground with her buttocks, her whole body was as if she had been drained, and she could no longer support her thin body.

Rouyi also almost fainted, the scheme was exposed, and she was a handmaid with nothing to do.

Emperor Xuanqing turned around with difficulty: "Jinghe, let people go and check the well." After a pause, he said, "Not only the well, but all the spare water that shines inside and outside the temple tonight." ”

Jinghe's father-in-law bowed down and made arrangements.

The hall was silent for a while, only to see Emperor Xuanqing sitting back on the dragon chair, looking at the dragon chair with his hands not light, his eyes closed, everyone didn't know what the emperor was thinking at this moment.
