Things were quickly prepared, and everyone was holding their breath. They watched Qingyue take the child from Shen Huan's hands. Although Shen Huan was unwilling, she had to let go. Seeing the child being taken away, Shen Huan felt like her heart was being ripped out. A piece of meat was taken away. If Xichen hadn't held her hand tightly, she would have snatched the child away and wouldn't let anyone touch him!
The silver needles that had been roasted on the fire were ready, and the basin of water was also presented to the emperor. Xiao Wumian suddenly understood what had happened, and immediately sneered and glanced at Chu Xichen, then at Shen Huan, without waiting. Xi Chao spoke, took the silver needle, pricked his finger, and dropped the blood into the water.
Xi Chao took out another silver needle and looked at Zhao'er in Qingyue's arms. He was reluctant to make a move. Looking at Zhao'er in a daze, Shen Huan had already turned away. She didn't need to look at it, but Xi Chao, Xi Chao, Chao wanted to prick his son's finger with his own hands... His hands were trembling slightly, and Zhaoer's black grape-like eyes looked at him as he rolled around, blowing bubbles from his mouth, looking very pleased with himself.
Xichen called out in a deep voice: "Twelfth brother!"
Xichen came back to his senses with a jolt, gritted his teeth, pinched Zhao'er's hand, and stabbed it gently. Even though it was very light, Zhao'er still cried and blood still dripped into the water.
When Shen Huan heard Zhao'er's cry, she no longer cared about her appearance. She threw away Xichen's hand, ran to Zhao'er and hugged him. She also shed tears as he cried.
Xichao was about to cry but had no tears. He wanted to take Shen Huan into his arms and comfort him, but in such a large crowd... He had no choice but to suppress the anxiety and pain in his heart. He watched Xichen step down from his seat and hugged Shen Huan tightly.
The concubines didn't seem to care about Zhao'er's cry. They all stared at the two drops of blood in the basin with wide eyes to see if they were fused together.
The ending was very disappointing for Chen Xiurong and Li Ronghua. The two drops of blood were not compatible at all. Some people breathed a sigh of relief to express their relief, some sighed to express their disappointment, and others - Li Ronghua and Zhao Guiren looked ashen. Facts have proved that the queen They had nothing to do with Xiao Wumian, so their fate was miserable.
Xichen turned his cold face to them: "What else can you say?"
Zhao Guiren said tremblingly: "The emperor...the emperor...can't get along with each other, doesn't mean they have nothing to do with each other!"
Xichen was extremely angry and laughed back, saying: "I understand, today we are here well prepared. They are not angry when they see me welcoming the queen back to the palace. They come with revenge in mind! It is not me who keeps slandering the third prince. My son, now that the evidence is solid, he is talking nonsense again!”
Li Ronghua said forcefully: "Your Majesty, even if the third prince is not Xiao Wumian's, he was brought back from outside the palace by the queen after all. Who knows who it will be..."
Xichen didn't wait for her dirty words to come out, he raised his hand and slapped her hard. The slap was so hard and forceful that Li Ronghua, who was obviously full of internal strength, was hit so hard that she flew out and hit the table. It rolled down, and the concubines were so frightened that they almost screamed, but seeing Xichen's livid face, they all covered their mouths and did not dare to scream.
The timid concubine was so frightened that she began to cry. Concubine Shun Gui covered Heyu's eyes to prevent her from looking at her, and hurriedly ordered the palace servants to take her back.
Xichen said coldly: "If anyone says such treacherous words again, I will chop her alive!"
He calmed down his anger slightly and said to Xi Chao: "Twelve, give me the silver needle. I want to prove to everyone that Zhao'er is my child!"
Xi Chao was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "No, Your Majesty! You are the Emperor, and you must not suffer any damage. How can you harm the dragon's body for the sake of inexplicable rumors?"
Xiao Shizi also knelt down and begged: "Long live! The dragon's body is important, the dragon's body is important!"
Xichen said coldly: "It's just the first drop of blood. It can't hurt anything. Twelve, give me the needle!"
Xi Chaojian could not dissuade him, but if this was really the case, his blood would be the same as Xiao Wumian's and would not be able to blend with Zhao'er's! In desperation, he could only say: "There is already someone else's blood in the water. In order to avoid confusion, my brother went to get another basin of water." There was no doubt that he turned around and went to fetch water.
When the water came, Xichen rolled up his sleeves, pricked his finger, and dropped the blood into the water. Then he looked at Shen Huan. Shen Huan shook his head with tears in his eyes. Xichen said softly: "One more drop."
But the wound on Zhaoer's finger could no longer be dripped out, so she had to prick it again. Zhaoer, who had stopped crying just now, started crying at the top of her lungs. Shen Huan wailed in a low voice: "No..."
She no longer had the intention to see if the blood in the water could fuse, but she heard Xichen say in a joyful voice: "You have all seen that I have fused with the blood of the third prince. I am the third prince." The prince’s biological father! The third prince is also my son, and he is the bloodline of my northern royal family!”
Shen Huan looked over in surprise and saw two drops of blood fused together. She screamed in her heart that it was impossible. She raised her head and looked at Xi Chao, who was also looking at her deeply.
It's Xi Chao... Xi Chao must have done something. He doesn't want himself and his children to be suspected again and face a situation like today!
He closed his eyes, swallowed the bitter water in his heart, then opened them, and said to Xichen in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, now that the truth of the matter is revealed, will all the people be dealt with?"
Chu Xichen calmed down and said seriously: "It is indeed time to deal with it properly!"
Bringing Shen Huan back to his seat, Xichen looked at Li Ronghua who was lying on the ground with half his life gone and said: "Lirong Hua, who is guilty of disturbing the palace, will be punished with thirty punishments and will be thrown into the cold palace!" Li Ronghua! Hua already has half her life left. If these thirty sticks go down, her life will be over!
Then he glanced at the supportive Zhao Guiren and said: "Zhao Guiren is making alarmist remarks. He wants to seize the title of nobleman, demote him to the position of a selected servant, and send him to Yongxiang. Never come out again in this life!"
Immediately, someone came to pull the two of them down, and Xichen said again: "Slow down! I'm going to scold Li Ronghua right here. I want you all to see and hear it! Whoever dares to gossip in the future will end up like this!" Then he took Shen Huan's hand to leave, and then said to Xiao Shizi: "Let everyone watch, and don't stop until you hit thirty canes!"
Fear appeared on everyone's faces. Shen Huan glanced at everyone coldly, stood up with the child in his arms, then slowly walked to Chen Xiurong, and said in the voice of only the two of them: "How does it feel to have two arms removed at once? Don't be in a hurry. , the general election in March, sister can choose some more people to be your pawns, I will wait and see! You must remember, the Japanese Palace will definitely repay you double the injustice caused to my children today. Second Prince!"
Chen Xiurong looked pale and took a step back, but Shen Huan smiled and said loudly: "Sister Xiurong has the right to assist the Sixth Palace, so take all the sisters to watch the execution together!"
Turning around suddenly, his eyes passed over the faces of Xi Chao and Xiao Wumian, and stopped for a moment at Xiao Wumian.
Xiao Wumian, isn't it a pity that such a talented general is always locked in a cell?
