Xiao Huai's sentence of "blood test" made the entire imperial study quiet. Concubine Min looked at him in amazement, and then cried and said to the emperor: "How can the emperor's body be damaged!" ”

The emperor's expression was inexplicable, and he was a little hesitant. After all, his son needs a blood test to confirm whether it is his own species, and there is nothing more shameful than this. But Concubine Min's panicked expression made him firm in his thoughts.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Huai, after all, he proposed the blood test.

Xiao Huai received his gaze and said: "The minister saw in an ancient book that a blood test can verify whether it is a blood relative, and as for whether to do it or not, it is up to the emperor to decide." ”

The meaning is very clear, I just make a suggestion, and it is up to you how to do it in the end.

With that, he walked back to his seat and sat down, then picked up his cup and drank his tea. The emperor squinted at him, and then said, "Let's check it, Jiao Kangsheng will bring water." ”

Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly responded, but he hadn't seen a drop of blood to recognize his relatives, and he didn't know what kind of water to use, so he turned his head and asked Xiao Huai, "Dingguo Gong, the slave doesn't know what kind of water to use." ”

Xiao Huai put down the teacup in his hand and said casually: "Naturally, use the cleanest water." ”

With that, he looked out. Yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, although the outside of the imperial study was clean, but the eaves of the branches outside were still white, reflecting the sun's light and showing the extraordinarily holy.

Jiao Kangsheng followed his gaze and immediately said, "The slave understands." ”

What kind of water is as clean as snow-white snow?

He walked out quickly, took a jade bowl himself, and then asked people to build a ladder, he stepped on the ladder to the eaves, and reached out to get some snow into the jade bowl. The icy chill made him shiver.

Carefully holding the jade bowl down, and then trotted into the imperial study. But he was a little embarrassed when he saw the snow in the bowl, and the snow had to turn into water before he could use it!

He looked at Xiao Huai again, but Xiao Huai didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, he didn't dare to disturb, and finally could only hold the jade bowl filled with snow in his arms and watch the snow melt little by little.

It was a long process, but everyone present seemed to be patient and waited without saying a word. After a while, Xiao Huai got up and saluted the emperor and said, "The minister thinks that it will be more fair to invite the imperial doctor over." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing his words, and then said, "Please come over." ”

Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly walked to the door of the imperial study with the bowl in his arms and told the little eunuch to ask for a doctor. He walked back and continued to warm the snow. There were several charcoal basins in the imperial study, and the temperature was not low, coupled with the blessing of Jiao Kangsheng's body temperature, the snow in the jade bowl slowly melted.

At this moment, two imperial doctors came. The emperor didn't explain anything, and said directly: "Go and check if there is anything wrong with the water." ”

Although the imperial doctor didn't know what was going on, there were the Taifu, Concubine Min, and the eldest prince kneeling in the imperial study, and they didn't need to think about it to know that something was wrong.

The two walked up to Jiao Kangsheng, took the jade bowl and looked at it carefully, and dipped some water in their fingers and tasted it in their mouths, except for some ice, there was nothing abnormal.

After the inspection, the two of them bent down and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal in the water. ”

The Emperor snorted, stretched out his hand and took out a needle and pricked it in his index finger, leaving blood flowing down the wound. Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly stretched out the bowl, and a drop of blood dripped into the water.

It's time for the big prince next, but he shrunk and shook his head, just not cooperating. Seeing this, the emperor was basically sure that the top of his head was green, and he shouted angrily, "Come on, hold him down and take blood." ”

As soon as his words fell, two guards came in, one left and one right pressed the eldest prince, Jiao Kangsheng handed the jade bowl to a imperial doctor, he grabbed the eldest prince's hand and was about to stab it.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Min knelt down a few steps to the emperor's table, crying: "Your Majesty, no, if the eldest prince does this blood test, he is the prince who has been suspected of blood, how can you let him meet people in the future, Emperor." ”

"As long as it is proved that he is my son, how can he not have a face?" The emperor said with a gloomy face.

Concubine Min walked to the emperor's feet again, "Your Majesty, you really can't test it, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Min kept kneeling at the emperor's feet and crying, and Jiao Kangsheng didn't know what to do. Everyone else in the room seemed to be waiting for the emperor to speak.

Xiao Huai took the teacup and tasted tea, looking at this messy situation, he seemed to be a little impatient, put the teacup on the table, snapped, and made a crisp sound.

Then a little eunuch came in, walked up to Jiao Kangsheng and the imperial doctor, bent down and said to the imperial doctor, "Let the servant come and get the bowl." ”

The imperial physician handed the bowl to the little eunuch, and the little eunuch took the bowl and sent it to Jiao Kangsheng. Jiao Kangsheng glanced at the emperor again, saw that he had a gloomy face and did not speak, thought for a moment, and then grabbed the hand of the eldest prince, and the needle was pricked.

A drop of blood dripped from the Great Prince's finger into the bowl, and then the blood slowly spread in the bowl, but it did not merge with the Emperor's blood.

Seeing this, Jiao Kangsheng, the little eunuch and the eunuch all looked incredulous, and when the emperor saw their expressions, he raised his leg and kicked Concubine Min away, stood up and said, "How is it?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly walked to the emperor with the bowl, and the emperor bowed his head, and saw that the two drops of blood in the bowl that had spread out were clearly suspended in the water.

What else is not understood about this?

"Damn! Damn it! The emperor bent down and pushed all the things on the table to the ground, and then pointed at Concubine Min and the eldest prince and said, "Death, all of them will be eliminated by me." ”

Concubine Min was already panicked and didn't know what to do, in fact, she didn't know whose child the eldest prince was.

And the eldest prince was completely stupid when he sat on the ground. After living for decades, he turned out to be a wild seed. And he used to feel confident that he would definitely be able to get to that position.

"Jiang Xiuming plotted treason, and within the nine clans of the Jiang family... Kill! "The emperor has run out of reason at the moment.

Taifu was paralyzed on the ground, he didn't expect that Concubine Min's incident many years ago would be involved at this moment. The lives of the nine tribesmen! He is a sinner of the Jiang family.

"Your Majesty." Li Yushi knelt on the ground and said, "Jiang Xiuming committed a heinous crime, and it is not a pity to die. But there is no precedent for killing all the nine clans, your Majesty, you are a Ming monarch, please think twice! ”

The emperor's impulsive brain regained some reason at this moment, he looked angrily at Jiang Xiuming, the eldest prince and Concubine Min who were paralyzed on the ground, took a deep breath and said: "I am not a person to kill, adult men are killed within the nine clans of the Jiang family, and underage male heirs are castrated as palace people." All the daughters of the Jiang family were sent to the Department of Education. ”

"Li Aiqing, let's be flat." The emperor looked at Li Yushi and said, and then said, "Xiao Aiqing and Li Aiqing, you go back first." ”

Xiao Huai got up, saluted the emperor, and then walked out of the imperial study with Li Yushi.
