After the chamberlain of Mingren Palace finished speaking in a few words, the palace was in an uproar - now they don't suspect that Emperor Duanhua is going to poison the Empress Dowager on this day, they suspect that the Empress Dowager is the mastermind of everything today!

After all, since the people who "went to Mingren Palace to assassinate", since they could be killed by the Empress Dowager's henchmen in front of the palace gate, they couldn't even step into the gate of Mingren Palace, which shows how much the Empress Dowager cares about her safety and her ability.

Thinking about it this way, if there is no secret permission from the Empress Dowager, where would Lu Hehao, a concubine, have the ability to openly appear in Mingren Palace on a day like this and expose Emperor Duanhua in public?

"Lu Hehao, a concubine, has always coveted the throne, even if His Majesty has repeatedly shown mercy to his subordinates, this person does not miss Jun's grace at all!" After a while, Wei Xi got up with a solemn expression and said loudly, "I heard that not long ago, he was assassinated, his wife and young son were killed, and he escaped alive without a trace - now it seems that it is very likely that he still has a remnant of evil in the palace to help, and deliberately used the 'assassination' as a pretext to abscond and hide, just waiting for today, to break into Mingren Palace, and slander His Majesty in public in revenge!" ”

He still expects Emperor Duanhua to pass on the throne to his grandson, how can he let the emperor be ruined now?

At this moment, I didn't care if I would offend the Empress Dowager by doing this, so I hurriedly came out to defend Emperor Duanhua: As for whether Emperor Duanhua is innocent, Wei Xi and Zhu Qin have the same idea, and Lu Hehao, a concubine, is not a bad brain, this kind of thing can be seen by dripping blood and recognizing relatives, if it is slandered out of thin air, will Lu Hehao return to the palace to die? !

It's just that Wei Xi supports the crown prince, and the people who support King Su will never let go of such a God-given opportunity - Qiu Shuxia stood up without thinking about it: "This is a big matter, it involves the first emperor, and it must be investigated!" ”

"Bastard!" He Wenqiong raised her eyebrows and scolded sharply, "What a wolf's ambition Lu Hehao is, the government and the opposition know it!" Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and it is already a big joke in the world to be broken into the palace by such disobedient and unfilial people and disrupt the birthday banquet! Now because of his nonsense, I suspect His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qing, what are the intentions? ! ”

"Because this matter has spread now, the wives and daughters of the Manchu Dynasty have heard about it with their own ears, do they still expect to be sealed?" Qiu Shuxia was the vanguard and main force of King Su's faction when he seized the prince in the Xianjia Dynasty, and he was the main force of the Suwang faction in the court disputes, and he didn't fall behind many times, and at this moment he thought he was cooperating with his aunt and the Queen Mother, and the fighting spirit became more and more vigorous, and he immediately fought back sharply, "So if you don't ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qing to recognize each other with blood, and spread it out, but how do the people of the world think of Your Majesty?" What do you think of His Royal Highness King Qing? At that time, even the first emperor's reputation will be affected, He Shangshu, you are also an old minister from the previous dynasty, and you can't even tell the priority of such a priority, isn't this age alive to a dog?! ”

Qiu Shuxia said it politely, but He Wenqiong didn't care about it, looked around, and said loudly: "Lu Hehao is the third son of the first emperor, before and after the death of the first emperor, he has already married and moved out of the palace!" And Concubine Nuan is the concubine of the first emperor, and she is in the harem! If Lu Hehao is a person who knows righteousness and abides by etiquette, how can he know about Concubine Nuan's mother and son? It can be seen that he is not standing right! How can such a person's words be credible?! If His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qing are humiliated by his one-sided words, not only is it ridiculous, but everyone here will also be a laughing stock for thousands of years! And what face does he have to meet the first emperor in the future?! ”

"That man Lu Hehao, what he said is nothing else! It's that His Royal Highness King Qing is not the bloodline of the first emperor! Qiu Shuxia smiled and said, "Whether this matter is true or not, if we don't find out, then we don't have the face to see the first emperor!! ”

This matter was originally very unfavorable to Emperor Duanhua, and He Wenqiong's eloquence was not particularly good, so he felt that he was not noisy, so he subconsciously turned to the thigh he had been hugging: "Gu Xiang, what do you see?" ”

At this time, everyone came to their senses - Gu Shao, the dependent of Emperor Duanhua and the backer left by Emperor Xianjia, has not said a word so far after listening to the words of the inner servant!

The eyes in the hall were all looking towards Gu Shao for a while.

But Gu Shao was now looking at Emperor Duanhua.

The originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

After a while, Emperor Duanhua said in a tone without any emotion: "Go, go to Mingren Palace, and summon Lu Hehao, the concubine, and the mother and son of Concubine Nuan!" ”

The emperor paused, and then said, "Please also invite the imperial grandmother and the queen mother to come together!" ”

This posture can be seen regardless of whether he is planning to confess his relatives with blood - just as Jian Xubai said when he was suspicious and had an affair with Concubine Nuan, this is the fastest, most thorough, and most straightforward way to clear his name.

The only problem is that the emperor has to be really innocent!

Wei Xi and He Wenqiong exchanged glances - there was some doubt in their eyes, the reason why they denied Lu Hehao's words was because they were afraid that this thing was true, so the emperor's fate would be known without asking!

But now Emperor Duanhua himself proposed to prove his innocence - what did the emperor do, it is said that the emperor himself knows in his heart, is King Qing not the emperor's blood and blood, and Lu Hehao is talking nonsense? !

But after thinking so, the two of them did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more nervous: now, including Gu Shao and Emperor Duanhua, most of the people in this palace think that all the turmoil today is from the hands of the Empress Dowager!

And according to everyone's understanding of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager didn't even care about the name of the first emperor Xianjia, which shows that she made up her mind to put the emperor to death - so how could the Empress Dowager not consider such a simple way to prove that the emperor was slandered by dripping blood and recognizing relatives?

Wei Xi and He Wenqiong thought at the same time: "The Empress Dowager must have a backhand!" ”

What's worse is that today's change is too abrupt - especially the Wei family, the Wei family took over the secret decree of the Empress Dowager, thinking that since the Empress Dowager explained the matter of changing the dynasty to the Wei and Su families, then the Empress Dowager herself will definitely not make much of a move.

So being caught off guard at this moment, Wei Xi inevitably felt confused, and for a while he couldn't guess what kind of calculations the Empress Dowager would have next? !

Just a moment later, Wei Xi found that he didn't need to speculate about the Empress Dowager's plan at all - because in full view of everyone, the blood of Emperor Duanhua and the blood of King Qing were fused together without hindrance!

After this result came out, the most surprised person was not the others, but Emperor Duanhua himself!

Just as Wei Xi and He Wenqiong thought before, since Emperor Duanhua took the initiative to ask for blood in public to recognize his relatives, of course he had confidence!

Although Concubine Nuan is unparalleled in beauty, Emperor Duanhua has always respected Emperor Xianjia, and he himself is not a person who covets beauty - for this concubine, Emperor Duanhua has always followed the rules, and there has never been any transgression!

He just didn't even say a word of flirtation to Concubine Nuan, how could he give birth to a son with her, and he was crowned King Qing under the name of Emperor Xianjia?!

"Although this basin of water was personally fetched by Gu Xiang and Wei Shangshu, it is a big matter, so it is better to be cautious!" In the hall as silent as death, Empress Dowager Su slowly spoke, "Fang Yu! ”

The queen mother's usual palace maid Fang took off the sideburns silver hairpin with all her heart, took a step forward, and cut the back of her hand in public!

The blood is dripping, but it is clearly distinguishable from the blood of Emperor Duanhua and King Qing - obviously there is no problem with this basin of water!

"Emperor?" Empress Dowager Su raised her head and looked at Emperor Duanhua with a face like snow, but there was not much joy and pride in her eyes, but full of sadness: The Queen Mother is like this, and it is not all acting, she and Emperor Xianjia are young couples, and they have supported each other all the way.

So after confirming that King Qing was not the son of Emperor Xianjia at this moment, Empress Dowager Su was happy for her own son King Su, but she also felt sad for her husband under Jiuquan, "Before the first emperor was alive, the most loved and most important was you, for you, the first emperor can be said to have worked hard and exhausted...... These...... The princes of the court also see it in their eyes! Why do you ......?"

Empress Dowager Su raised her sleeves and hid her face and did not continue—her tone was not intense, and her words were not mean, but the deep sadness and resentment that was revealed made everyone look at Emperor Duanhua's gaze, revealing clear disgust and disdain.

Even if Emperor Duanhua is still the emperor, the rebellion of Juyu (you), wherever it is placed, is despicable!

In the end, man is not a beast.

"I don't have a ......" Emperor Duanhua looked at the basin in front of him, only to feel like falling into an ice cellar - he couldn't understand how he couldn't figure it out, he obviously didn't even pull Concubine Nuan's hand, why would King Qing be his son?!

You don't have to look to feel the eyes around you at this moment.

The young emperor suddenly felt lonely as he had never felt before—his grandmother and grandmother sat only a few arm's length away from him; His auxiliary ministers also stood only within reach of him; A little farther away are the palace men who serve him and the guards who protect him; Under the Danqi, all his courtiers were served.

But these people are just silent at the moment, and none of them have spoken out to refute him!

The emperor's mind went blank for a moment before he subconsciously said, "I have never been ...... to Concubine Nuan."

"Your Majesty, King Qing's biological mother, is she really Concubine Nuan?" Wei Xi and other courtiers who don't want the emperor to be ruined, it's not that they don't want to excuse the emperor, it's just that the facts are there, and so many people have seen it, how can this be whitewashed?

Seeing that the emperor's reaction did not seem to be fake, he reminded with the hope of just in case, "If Lu Hehao, a servant of the people, took advantage of His Majesty's lack of defense earlier, what did he do...... Maybe it's the heir of His Majesty when he was a concubine in the past? ”

This possibility is actually very slim, because Concubine Nuan was born in the palace, because the Empress Dowager was still immersed in the pain of losing her son at that time, and paid special attention to the "grandson" who was born after Emperor Xianjia went.

Where did Lu Hehao get the ability, in front of this mother-in-law, what kind of trick did he play? !

What's more, before and after Concubine Nuan gave birth, in the harem of Emperor Duanhua, there has never been a concubine who has ever reported that she is pregnant!

Even if there were, why did they take their own son to help Lu Hehao pit the Emperor? After all, Da Rui's harem system copied from Yong in the past, and the concubines who have no children will basically not end well!

As for the Empress Dowager Su taking this opportunity to change her child to pit the emperor, this is even more impossible, after all, Concubine Nuan is still there.

Wei Xi's voice fell, and as soon as the Empress Dowager Su made her eyes, someone put Concubine Nuan in front of the basin, cut her wrist in public, dripped blood into the basin, and then pulled King Qing, who was still crying, over and cut her fingers again.

The blood of the mother and son fused together before they entered the basin.

At this time, Wei Xi couldn't say anything.

He's done his best.

After a while, the eyes of the palace focused on the two people, waiting for them to speak: the Empress Dowager, and, Gu Shao.
