Helian Biyue looked at him with gloomy eyes, but still didn't say anything.

Nie Xingji made his own decision, and casually ordered the Praetorian Guards in the palace: "Go to Lingxi Palace and invite Princess Jincheng to come over." ”

The Praetorian Guards did not receive the order and looked at Helian Biyue at the first seat.

"Go ahead." Her expression was gloomy, like a dark cloud covering the moon and a storm was coming.

Only then did the imperial doctor hand over a white towel and motioned for Nie Xingji to press on the wound. He looked at the bean-sized droplets of blood on his index finger crumbling, took the towel but it was useless, just sat back in the chair, and said to himself: "Strange, how can this blood not dissolve?" ”

This sentence seemed to give Helian Biyue a head-on blow, and she finally made up her mind and shouted: "Someone! The marquis intends to murder the king, take it immediately! Waiting for the delivery! ”

"Wait!" Nie Xingji finally looked upright, his handsome eyes exuded a rippling light, and he was calm and fearless: "It is obvious to all in the palace that the sons and daughters took the lead in testing the blood for the king to raise Gu. How? If your son's blood is useless, you won't be merciful? The Queen Mother, the king's life is dying, you fabricate the killing, aren't you afraid of the king's blessings? ”

"Bastard!" Helian Biyue got up suddenly, picked up the teacup on the desk and smashed it towards Nie Xingji. The man didn't move, and the teacup hit his shoulder right on, and it rolled to the ground with a "bang".

The tea leaves and tea soaked through his sinister court clothes in an instant, and even his jaw was stained with a lot of water. Nie Xingji didn't realize it, and asked lightly: "How does the Queen Mother's behavior seem to be weak-hearted?" ”

In a word, the wind in the hall was loud.

Nie Xingji didn't say anything more, dusted off the water stains on his robe with the towel given to him by the imperial doctor, and sat back on the chair.

Helian Biyue closed her eyes and eased her mind, remembering that her beloved son's life was still in Nie Xingji's hands, and she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

Everyone was also shocked by the situation in the palace, and they didn't know what the Empress Dowager Helian and Jinghou had their own ideas, and the eldest princess was even more confused. But after all, her status is honorable, and after the wind and waves, she said at this moment: "Try my blood, it is a moment to be able to save it early." The king is also my nephew and son-in-law. ”

After she finished saying this, she deliberately glanced at Nie Xingji, and saw that he looked happy to see it. On the contrary, Helian Biyue, the first seat, looked at her with hostile eyes, and the eldest princess was very familiar with that kind of look—Helian Biyue had also expressed this hostility in public during her birthday banquet in April this year.

The eldest princess was a little annoyed: "Queen Mother, are you guarding against me?" I'm saving your son!" ”

Helian Biyue was in a state of mind at the moment, thinking of a way to deal with it, but did not react.

Nie Xingji deliberately mediated: "Auntie, the Queen Mother is thoughtful, you can be considerate!" ”

The eldest princess snorted coldly, and invited the imperial doctor to test her blood, but she heard her husband suddenly say a sentence: "There are so many words for the marquis tonight." ”

"Oh? Uncle is very quiet tonight. Nie Xingji reacted very quickly, and smiled back: "In the past, weren't you the most willing to be a peacemaker?" ”

The eldest princess looked sideways at the two of them, her eyes swaying back and forth, and her heart gradually became suspicious. Just as he was about to say something, his left index finger suddenly hurt, and two drops of blood had already dripped into the silver bowl.

Over there, there happened to be a report outside the hall: "Princess Jincheng has arrived!" ”

In the middle of the night, and in the winter moon, Jin Cheng put on a wide cloak and stepped into the temple under the escort of the Praetorian Guards. Her expression was evasive, her face was pale, and cold sweat was dripping on her forehead, obviously frightened.

At this juncture, no one cared about any etiquette, so Jin Cheng gave a slight salute to Helian Biyue and eagerly asked about Nie Xingyi's situation.

"The blood quality of the eldest princess is also inconsistent with that of the king, and she can't feed the blood Gu." The imperial doctor suddenly spoke at this time and said regretfully.

"The eldest princess and the king are aunts and nephews, isn't it okay?" Nie Xingji immediately asked.

The imperial doctor frowned, and stopped talking: "This is indeed a tricky matter. The more people who meet the blood quality, the less blood each person will take, and there will be no fear of life; If there are few people who meet the blood quality, then a large amount of blood must be drawn from one person to raise Gu, perhaps...... In the end, the king's life was saved, but the person who fed the blood Gu would ......"

As soon as the imperial doctor said this, many people were already aware. When the first king Nie Yang ascended the throne that year, he gave death to his siblings, exiled those who were exiled, and his descendants were not in Jingzhou City.

And the blood quality of Jinghou and the eldest princess does not match, so that only the Queen Mother Helian Biyue and Princess Jincheng are left. But the words of the imperial doctor were very clear, even if both of them matched Nie Xingyi's blood quality, everyone would have to draw a large amount of blood to raise Gu, and in the end, it was very likely that they would die due to excessive blood loss.

At this time, Jin Cheng had already understood the cause and effect, and knew that he was going to feed the blood Gu...... She unconsciously touched her lower abdomen and looked at Helian Biyue timidly: "Queen Mother, my daughter can't feed Blood Gu. ”

"Why?" Helian Biyue frowned: "You go for a blood test first!" ”

Jin Cheng bit his lower lip, looked at the ministers and forbidden soldiers in this room, and said in a weak voice: "Daughter...... Pregnant. ”

"What did you say?" Helian Biyue was incredulous, and pinched her beloved daughter's wrist: "Do you say it again? ”

Jin Cheng fell to the ground with a "plop", weeping and crying: "Brother Wang also knows about this...... He originally discussed with his daughter, and after the birthday banquet, he would mention ......"

"Is it Mingchenyuan?" Helian Biyue only asked this sentence.

Jin Cheng bowed his head and was silent.

Helian Biyue didn't look at her again, glanced at Nie Xingji viciously, and laughed earnestly: "Nie Xingji!" Hello means! You've got the math done, haven't you? ”

Nie Xingchen had a blank look on his face: "What did Jin Cheng say to you?" Why do you want to anger your sons? ”

Jin Cheng also hurriedly explained on the side: "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the second brother. Be...... It was my daughter who failed to hold ......."

With a "snap", Helian Biyue slapped Jin Cheng in the face: "Shameless!" ”

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they saw the mother and daughter whispering on the dan mound. Seeing this sudden change, they were all shocked. Seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Helian Biyue! Jin Cheng is the daughter of the former king, the dignified princess of Yan Kingdom, you scold her in front of the public, where will the royal family's face go? ”

Helian Biyue was already trembling with anger, unable to say a word, his eyes swept over the ministers and the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the hall one by one, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "The mourning family and the princess will test the blood quality, except for the clan relatives, the rest of the people will all withdraw from the hall and wait!" ”

"Yes......" A group of outsiders retreated in a stumbling manner. Ming Danshu looked left and right, not knowing whether he should leave or stay, and was hesitating, but heard Helian Biyue say again: "Danshu, you also retreat." ”

"Yes. The niece was outside. Ming Danshu also left in a hurry.

It wasn't until only Nie Xingji, the eldest princess and his wife, and a group of imperial doctors and Gu doctors were left in the hall that Helian Biyue got up from his seat and looked at Jin Cheng who was kneeling: "How many months?" ”

Jin Cheng protected his lower abdomen, and his body began to tremble: "Less than three months......"

When everyone heard this, they understood what was going on. But Princess Jincheng has been widowed for almost a year, and this child is ......

"Hit." Helian Biyue didn't wait for everyone to speculate, and said categorically: "Beat the child, raise blood Gu for your brother Wang." ”

"Nope! No! Queen mother! Jin Cheng protected his lower abdomen, shook his head vigorously and pleaded: "The imperial doctor said that my daughter is weak, and the previous child is in danger...... Once you have this baby again, you won't be able to conceive in the future! ”

"Then no! The mourning family gave birth to you, not to let you do such a bad thing, to insult the reputation of the royal family! Helian Biyue finally got out of control, and viciously dragged Jin Cheng up, almost threatening: "If you don't beat this child, the mourning family will give death to Mingchenyuan!" ”

"Nope! No! Queen mother! Jin Cheng burst into tears in an instant, hugged one of Helian Biyue's legs, knelt on the ground and begged: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother...... Please, daughter...... I beg you ......"

"The Queen Mother!" Nie Xingji watched coldly from the sidelines, and said coldly: "You mean that Jincheng insults the reputation of the royal family?" ”

He was only halfway through this, and then he was gone. Everyone present thought that he was a good friend of Mingchenyuan, so he was upset for the little couple, so they didn't think much about it.

Only Helian Biyue heard it, and ran down the Danqi like crazy, grabbed Nie Xingji's clothes, and couldn't wait to eat his flesh and blood: "Nie Xingji, you slut raised a slut!" The mourning family wants you to be buried with you! Funeral! ”

If it was in the past, Nie Xingchen would have been furious when he heard this. But at this moment, he smiled, and his smile was so graceful and touching that it was completely incompatible with the tense situation at hand.

He gently brushed Helian Biyue's hand away, and said with a sneer: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid to say things to people." The Queen Mother has to think clearly, her son is sincere in wanting to save Brother Wang's life, if you continue to make trouble, there will not be much time. ”

Helian Biyue seemed to have suffered a painful blow, and she stumbled and almost fell, but Nie Xingjian quickly helped her, and her lips hooked slightly: "You are our backbone, but you have to take care of the phoenix body." ”

Since Princess Jincheng appeared, Lian Kuo has never found a chance to interject, and only then did he find a gap and said: "Queen Mother, the princess is pregnant, and she can't feed Blood Gu." The blood Gu that was raised, the essence and blood were all sucked away by the child, and it was useless. ”

The imperial doctor also trembled and said: "The physique of a pregnant person will change, and it is unknown whether the blood quality can be compatible with the king. ”

Helian Biyue listened to these words, nodded with a dead face, and looked at Nie Xingji again: "How long have you been arranging this bureau?" ”

"Erchen doesn't understand what you're saying." Nie Xingji pretended to be puzzled.

Helian Biyue slowly closed her eyes and put one hand on her forehead: "If the mourning family feeds the blood Gu personally, can you guarantee that the king will survive?" ”

Nie Xingji spread his hands innocently: "Erchen doesn't know medical skills, so he doesn't dare to make this guarantee." But the retainer has the best of both worlds, which can ensure that the king is safe and that you are unharmed. ”

Helian Biyue sneered: "I know what you want to say, you don't have to." ”

"If you don't try, how do you know you can't?" Nie Xingji didn't give her a chance to refute, and immediately looked at the man who had been silent in the hall, and calmly asked, "Uncle, will you come for a blood test?" ”
