Chapter 44: Blood Test

As soon as the sky was bright, Mei Xue got up to see Mama Mei.

Yurong and Mama Zhang had already cleaned up Mama Mei, Mei Xue picked her up from the bed and whispered:

"Auntie, I'll take you to Yulinwei today. From now on, everyone in the world will know that I am the daughter of the Mei family, and you are my aunt. ”

Mama Mei began to cry, tears rolling down her collapsed eye sockets.

Yurong and Mama Zhang both had tears, and Jiu'er also had red eyes when she stood beside Mei Xue.

An Jiang arrived as scheduled, with the official uniform made by the Ministry of Rites, and the news that had been confirmed: Emperor Mingde will go to Yulinwei today, and the crown prince Li Jinyu will also follow.

Mei Xue didn't care about this matter, and after dressing up the Wupin Mansion, she boarded the carriage and went out, and Jiu'er sat in the carriage and hugged Mama Mei.

An Jiang hugged Buddha Chen, watched Mei Xue's carriage start with Li Jinzhi, and then said with a smile:

"Shizi, Your Majesty is slightly served, and the palace people are not allowed to follow, so the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace first."

Li Jinzhi nodded with a smile, and after bidding farewell to An Jiang, he and Song Zhijie got into the same carriage and went out.

The street where the Yulin Wei Yamen is located is already crowded with people, and the few small alleys connected to it are also crowded with people.

After the carriage of the Shu Wangfu appeared, even if the crowd cooperated to make way, it took a full two quarters of an hour to reach the yamen.

Mei Xue asked Jiu'er to accompany Mama Mei in the carriage, and she happened to open the curtain with her official hat.

The autumn sun is shining, but it is no longer hot.

A beautiful and light woman, her snow-white skin is as clean as jade against the backdrop of the black and blue official uniform.

Only the indifference between the eyebrows and eyes is like the coldness of this mid-autumn.

The noisy crowd fell silent the moment Mei Xue got out of the car, and the eyes of the spectators were only surprised.

The Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and the only female imperial doctor is so young and outstanding.

It was so remarkable that it was almost impossible to use the word "beauty" to describe her, and the words usually used to describe beauty were simply blasphemous to the woman in front of her.

Behind the screen in the lobby, Emperor Mingde was dressed in plain clothes, leaning on the back of his chair and drinking tea slowly.

The crown prince Li Jinyu sat on the lower left of Emperor Mingde, and when he saw Li Jinzhi coming in through the side door, he smiled and pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for him to sit.

Li Jinzhi silently saluted Emperor Mingde, but Emperor Mingde did not speak, only pointed to the seat of the lower right.

The carriage with the logo of Qiaofu came slowly, Qiao Juncheng was in front, and Qiao Zhuowen supported Yan's hand and followed him to get out of the carriage.

The crowd was noisy again, and Mei Xue stopped and watched the Qiao family approach with a calm face.

Yan's eyes turned red as soon as he saw Mei Xue, and he choked up as he walked quickly to Mei Xue's side:

"Yi'er, your father and I both know that you have suffered a lot over the years, so I am angry, if you go home with us, we will definitely compensate you."

Mei Xue sneered in her heart, took a step back to avoid Yan's hand, and gave Qiao Juncheng a colleague salute and said:

"Lord Qiao, Mrs. Youzun and Mrs. Yan went to the queen to ask for guilt in front of the queen mother, saying that they might have made a mistake, and then there was Yan Ge Lao who wrote a letter asking for blood to recognize his relatives.

You and I are now officials in the same dynasty, so before today's results come out, I really can't afford to ask Mrs. Zun to stop calling me in the name of love. ”

Yan's outstretched hands fell awkwardly in mid-air, Qiao Juncheng looked at Mei Xue's official mansion that was exactly the same as him, and noticed the eyes of the surrounding crowd watching the show, and suddenly felt as embarrassed as if countless people were slapping him hard.

He took a deep breath, reluctantly returned Mei Xue's colleague salute without smiling, and then pulled Yan's sleeve and took the lead in walking towards the yamen.

Unfilial daughter, I want you to look good when I bring it home.

Mei Xue's expression remained unchanged, and she lowered her eyes and followed behind.

Shen Qingyang, who was sitting in the center, was expressionless, the two classes of officials were lined up on both sides, Mei Xue and Qiao Juncheng sat opposite each other, Yan and Qiao Zhuowen had no grade, and they could only stand behind Qiao Juncheng.

A table has been set up in the middle of the lobby, on which is placed a bowl of water, brocade handkerchief, silver needles and other things.

Shen Qingyang only glanced at Mei Xue and Qiao Juncheng lightly, and there were no extra words, so he pointed to the bowl of water and said:

"I prepared the water myself, and I am responsible for any problems, so do you have any other requirements?"

Mei Xue shook her head, and Qiao Juncheng couldn't wait to stand up and walk to the table.

Mei Xue was still sitting with her eyes down, looking unfazed.

Qiao Juncheng pricked his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the water, and seeing that Mei Xue was still sitting peacefully, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"What's the matter, Master Mei, is this scared and wants to regret it?"

Mei Xue stood up at this time, walked leisurely to the table with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and glanced at the water bowl and laughed and said:

"Master Qiao, how can you say that you have been serving a real person for many years, and you should always have some research in pharmacology, how can you believe in such an inferior method?

Don't you know that this medicine can change the color of the blood? ”

Qiao Juncheng and Qiao Zhuowen's faces turned pale suddenly, and Yan's body shook and almost fell.

This kind of blood-dissolving seedling medicine is an extremely rare thing, and the Yan family took great pains to get it, and they didn't believe that Mei Xue, a little girl, would actually recognize it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you have the courage, drop your blood and test it now, otherwise it will prove that you are not filial and disobedient, and you will not even recognize your own father. ”

Qiao Juncheng was still struggling, but fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out on his forehead.

Emperor Mingde forced Mei Xue to come out for a blood test, if the truth is exposed, he will not be able to escape from the "crime of bullying the king".

But his father-in-law, Yan Ge, thought that he was completely sure of things, and he didn't believe that Mei Xue could see through it.

How old was she, and what knowledge could she have when she grew up in that poor backwood?

Just like her mother-in-law said, she was able to cure the illness of the prince of Shu and the queen mother, but it was just a coincidence.

Mei Xue smiled softly, and slowly glanced at the three members of the Qiao family before saying slowly:

"Just by looking at the color of the blood, I can conclude that Master Qiao had taken Bloodstone Powder beforehand.

Bloodstone Powder is said to be Miao medicine, but it is not actually produced in Miao Jiang of the Great Jin Dynasty, but from the royal family of small countries such as Wusun in the Western Regions. ”

Seeing that Qiao Juncheng's eyes widened instantly, Mei Xue's smile deepened again, and continued:

"Whoever takes this drug can have their blood compatible with others without having to be related."

Mei Xue approached Qiao Juncheng as she spoke, looked into his eyes with a smile and said:

"Lord Qiao, this is a means of self-protection for some concubines in the royal family such as Wusun, my lord, you are also a scholar of Jinshi and Di, how can you believe in this kind of trick?"

Qiao Juncheng couldn't get up in one breath, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Mei Xue didn't intend to let him go, turned around and saluted Shen Qingyang and said:

"My lord, if you want to verify the authenticity of what the lower official said, you only need to find a few people to test, or you can find a chicken or dog to test."

Emperor Mingde, who was drinking tea, was so amused by Mei Xue's last sentence that he almost choked on a mouthful of water in his throat.

This girl doesn't talk much, but when she wants to scold, it's enough to damage.

The people outside the yamen immediately boiled, this Qiao family is too shameless, right? And it's too bold.

Who doesn't know that Shen Qingyang of Yu Linwei is a ruthless guy like the king of Hades, and the Qiao family actually dares to cheat under his nose?

Who gave the Qiao family the guts? Who else could there be? Who doesn't know that Yan Ge Lao is Qiao Juncheng's father-in-law?

Xiao Yanben was squeezed out of the crowd, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze to the front sweating, and he just listened to Mei Xue's words.

Xiao Yan was immediately angry, and rushed into the lobby with Liang Jinsong and others, and gave Qiao Juncheng a slap and scolded:

"The old thing of the straight lady thief, the young masters are here to test it for you, and see if you have anything else to say."

Qiao Juncheng covered his face and said angrily:

"Beat the court officials, you are so bold!"

"The master is the one who beat you, and you are still in the imperial court? I'm sorry, you're waiting to sit through Yu Linwei's prison! ”

Xiao Yan scolded back while directing Liang Jinsong and them to line up to stab their fingers.

The self-owned servant brought a few bowls of clean water again, and Qiao Juncheng was also dragged over and stabbed several fingers in a row.

A few gentlemen scrambled to prick their fingers, and Shen Qingyang walked over and looked at the water bowl with cold eyes.

The crowd outside the yamen suddenly fell silent, they couldn't see it, and they didn't dare to rush into the lobby like Xiao Yan and a few other gentlemen, so they all hoped to hear the result clearly.

Everyone stared at the water bowl for a while, watching all the blood and water mix together evenly and quickly, Qiao Juncheng only felt dizzy, and finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Qiao Zhuowen and Yan Shi hurriedly went to help him, but were kicked away by Xiao Yan and others after a few kicks.

The people outside understood what the result was, and those who lost their bets were furious and began to shout angry at Qiao's family.
