At this time, Shen Huan was no longer so nervous. Li Ronghua was talking about Xiao Wumian, not Chu Xichao. It could be seen that no one knew about her and Xichao. They just suspected herself and Xiao Wumian, and she and herself Xiao Wumian couldn't be more innocent and he said leisurely: "Are the palace people spreading the news? What are they talking about?"
Li Ronghua raised her head and glanced at Shen Huan. She saw that her face was cold, but she didn't look at Xichen with any anger. She had a gloomy face, as if she could kill someone at any time. She gritted her teeth and sneered at Shen Huan: "Mother, what are you doing?" It’s really not easy to be able to be calm and calm all the time! I can’t say those words, but since I want to hear them, I’ll just tell them to you!”
Shen Huan thought to himself: The more you talk, the faster you will die!
Li Ronghua glanced at Chen Xiurong, Chen Xiurong nodded secretly, and Li Ronghua said: "There are rumors in the palace privately that the queen had an affair with the deceased Southern Dynasty King when she left the palace, and... she also brought the bastard back to the palace in an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline! "
Xichen was furious, and there was a sneer on Shen Huan's lips
Shen Wen was not in a hurry to explain, so Chen Xiurong and Li Ronghua were confused, and Li Ronghua had no choice but to ask: "Is the Queen speechless?"
Shen Huan said coldly: "I don't want to waste my words on such nonsense."
Li Ronghua also sneered: "I think the queen has a guilty conscience?"
At this time, Xichen shouted loudly: "Enough! Li Ronghua, you have said too much today!"
Li Ronghua did not give up and still said to Xichen: "Your Majesty, it is related to the blood of the royal family and there is no room for error! If the Queen doesn't come up with a piece of evidence today, I'm afraid the harem will be dissatisfied! Even outside the court, I'm afraid there will be rumors. Four! When the third prince grows up in the future, how will he face his ancestral brothers?"
Zhao Guiren also came out and knelt down and said: "Sister Rong Hua's words are reasonable. I hope the emperor will understand everything clearly."
There was a dead silence at the banquet. Concubine Ming, who had the highest position, looked at the kneeling people for some reason. She had just been engrossed in watching the play. Now she was bored and making something to eat. Suddenly she noticed the people around her. The atmosphere was weird and scary, so I had to put it down and look at the emperor helplessly.
Concubine Shun Gui said in a low voice: "The Queen is a noble person and would not do such immoral things. I think all the sisters are suspicious?"
Li Ronghua said bitterly: "My concubine has spent a long time in front of the queen, but my sister has also served in front of the queen! That's why my sister asked the queen to provide evidence!"
Concubine Shun Gui hesitated to speak. At this moment, Xichen spoke up. He suppressed his anger and said, "Then what kind of evidence do you need to prove the queen's innocence?"
Shen Huan's heart trembled. Did he not believe himself, or was he trying to excuse himself?
Li Ronghua looked at Shen Huan and said word by word: "In order to prevent the royal blood from being fooled, the only thing we can do now is to test the relationship with a drop of blood!"
Shen Huan frowned deeply, Xichen was stunned and asked: "What kind of blood test is needed?"
Li Ronghua said: "Take Xiao Wumian out of the prison, compare it with the blood of the third prince, prick his finger, and drop the blood into a basin of water. If they are incompatible, it proves that the queen is innocent. If they are consistent, then it will be Prove... hum!"
Concubine Shun Gui frowned and said: "The third prince is just a baby of more than three months old. Wouldn't it be pricking his finger..." As a mother, she naturally knows that the pain is in the child's body and the pain in the mother's heart. As she said that, He pulled Princess Heyu closer to his arms.
Li Ronghua said anxiously: "Otherwise, how can we prove the Queen's innocence?" What she wants to prove is not the Queen's innocence, but her innocence!
Chen Xiurong also said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, why not give it a try? It will also stop everyone from talking."
Shen Huan looked at Xichen, but Xichen frowned for a long time and said: "Take Xiao Wumian!" Shen Huan was startled, and there was bitterness in his heart. He didn't believe that his hand holding Zhaoer couldn't help but feel cold. come down
Xichen looked at her accurately, held her hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I believe you are innocent, I just want these people to stop talking nonsense."
Shen Wen smiled bitterly: "I understand, I understand." He turned around and handed Zhao'er to Qingyue and said, "Go and feed the wet nurse first." His heart felt sore and painful, and he secretly drew the word "twelve" on Qingyue's palm. Seeing Qingyue slightly stunned, but then quickly understanding, Shen Huan nodded slightly at her
Qingyue went with the child in her arms, and everyone was waiting here. Xiao Wumian was imprisoned in the prison. It would take some time to get here, and he had to change clothes to avoid frightening the emperor's concubines.
Guessing that time was almost up, Shen Huan said to Xichen: "I'll do a blood test later. I am a person involved in the case and cannot work, and this matter cannot be known to outsiders. I wonder who the emperor wants to invite to be the judge." ?”
Xichen was stunned and was thinking about it when Xiao Shizi came to report that King Yi wanted to see Xichen, so he whispered to Shen Han: "Twelve knows more about our affairs, and he is not an outsider, so why not let him test it out?" bright? "
Shen Wen took the well-fed Zhaoer from Qingyue's hand with one hand, exchanged glances with Qingyue, and said lightly: "Then just follow what the emperor said." Looking at Zhaoer's satisfied expression, she hugged her tightly. My heart was so congested that I was about to cry. Zhaoer didn't know it yet, so she spit out her milk like a goldfish and played with it.
Xi Chao was called in and was about to report the "business" when he was informed of this unexpected incident. He already knew about it, but he was still shocked and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen is definitely not such a person! Please!" Your Majesty, please do not believe in slanderous words, as this will damage the reputation of the Queen!"
Xichen said calmly: "I just want to repay the queen's honor, so I have to take this trick. Twelve brothers, you can just shed blood for Zhao'er and Xiao Wumian later. Don't worry about the rest."
Xichao became anxious and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Xichen. He looked at Shen Huan again. Shen Huan stared at him and said: "Twelve princes, I know that you trust me. Is this child the emperor's?" It’s wrong and it won’t be someone else’s”
Xichao felt bitter in her heart and said a little dejectedly: "Yes, I believe in your Majesty!"
At this time, Xiao Wumian was also brought over. He was wearing white clothes, and his hair was not messy, but all down. Only then did he realize that his hair was so soft. It was tied up before, which was a pity. , he did not wear handcuffs or shackles. After all, he was the acting king who had died in the South. The North Kingdom always wanted to give him some favorable treatment so that he could sincerely surrender and serve the North Country in the days to come.
He saw that Shen Huan was a little confused. He had no source of information during his days in prison. Naturally, he didn't know that Shen Huan had returned. Shen Huan nodded to him slightly, and he nodded slightly.
Xichao came back to his senses and said: "Since we have brought them here, I will go and prepare them now." There are not many things to prepare, just a basin of water, two towels, and some hemostatic medicine.
