Looking at Yin Xianglong, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Yan Qiqi couldn't help but worry about Ming'er.
Yin Xianglong has not punished Concubine Wan and Ming'er yet, so he may not be completely sure whether Ming'er is his child.
Although he has a green hat on his head, after all, when it comes to his own children, he will definitely not be careless.
Moreover, Yin Xianglong also cares about his sons, and I believe he will not give up on Yin Tianming easily.
In this way, the chances of saving Ming'er increased a lot.
However, if it was confirmed that Ming'er was not his biological son, it would probably be a disaster.
So what if it's Yin Tianqi's, after all, the son he always thought of turned into his grandson, which is hard for anyone to accept.
What's more, the most ruthless emperor's family, even though Yin Xianglong cares more about family ties than ordinary emperors, in order to maintain his reputation as an emperor, Ming'er is afraid that something will happen to him.
Therefore, Yin Xianglong must not be allowed to know that Ming'er is not his son.
Yan Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at Yin Xianglong above, and said seriously: "Father, Ping'er and your husband are sitting on the side and they won't talk nonsense."
She came here just for Ming'er, how could she leave.
"Father, I wish to clarify the matter. After all, it concerns Ming'er." Yin Tianjue glanced at Ming'er, who was trembling with fear on the ground, and said with a frown.
Yin Xianglong frowned and hummed in a deep voice: "I must find out clearly about this. If Ming'er is not my son, I will never let him go."
"Your Majesty, please believe me. I didn't lie. I really didn't see who that person was at that time. I am sure that Ming'er is the emperor's son." Tears in Concubine Wan's beautiful eyes kept falling.
, cried hoarsely.
"Do you know best in your heart?" Yin Xianglong half-squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Situ Wan'er, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will definitely make you die badly."
Regardless of whether Ming'er is his son or not, he will never want this woman again.
He actually lost such a big face, how could he have the dignity to face the courtiers in the future?
Thinking about it, anger surged in my heart, and the hand holding the tea cup kept tightening until it broke.
Everyone present was immediately frightened into silence, and they didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
The queen sitting next to him shook her hand slightly and boldly said to Yin Xianglong: "Your Majesty, you are so harsh with your words. It is better for the palace maid to speak out about your husband so that this bitch can understand."
"I didn't expect that the Queen understands justice so well. I should take the Queen as an example and learn more from the Queen in the future."
Concubine Ling on the other side spoke modestly, but people always felt that there was something in her words.
"Humph!" The queen snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore her.
Concubine Ling twitched the corners of her lips slightly and smiled lightly, not taking it seriously at all.
Yan Qiqi looked at Concubine Ling carefully, her mind moving involuntarily.
There must be a hint in her words. It seems that she knows that the destroyer is Yin Tianqi. Could it be that the person who revealed the secret this time is Yi Ling?
But how did she know that Concubine Wan and Yin Tianqi did this very carefully.
If she hadn't broken in there accidentally, she wouldn't have thought that they would do such a thing behind Yin Xianglong's back.
I heard from the queen that the palace maid saw it. Judging from the situation, she should have discovered it in the middle of the night. So why did the palace maid run there if she had nothing to do?
Yin Xianglong frowned and said gloomily: "Let the palace maid come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came out from one side.
She knelt on the ground, lowering her head and not daring to look at the person above her.
"Tell me everything you saw. If you dare to tell any lies, I will not spare you." Yin Xianglong said coldly.
"Yes, yes, this slave knows." The palace maid said in a submissive voice.
"Then why don't you tell me quickly who is the destroyer?"
"Yes..." The palace maid glanced at Yin Tianqi, who was sitting on the side, and immediately ran away in fear.
Yin Tianqi clenched his fists tightly, half-squinted his eyes, and looked at the palace maid dangerously.
If you look carefully, you can see a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his tense face is slightly panicked.
Concubine Ling comforted her with a warm voice: "Liu'er, don't be afraid. Tell me everything you saw. The emperor is wise and will not punish you."
"Yes..." The palace maid bit her lower lip, her eyes full of fear.
"Who is it?" Yin Xianglong suddenly became impatient.
Liu Er hurriedly pointed at Yin Tianqi who was sitting on the side, and nervously blurted out, "It's King Jin."
"nonsense!"
"court death!"
The Queen and Yin Tianqi roared out almost at the same time.
Then there was a "click -" the sound of the table breaking into pieces.
The table next to Yin Xianglong had been smashed to pieces by his slap. His face became even more gloomy, and the cold air radiating around him made him tremble uncontrollably.
He half-closed his eyes and looked at Yin Tianqi dangerously, his thin lips pursed tightly, as if he was trying to hold back something.
Seeing that he looked strange, the queen suddenly panicked.
Her eyes moved slightly and she winked at Yin Tianqi, who was about to stand up.
Yin Tianqi was about to stand up and want to kill the palace lady Liu'er. When he received the queen's look, he darkened his face and glared at the palace lady.
The queen moved her eyes to look at Liu'er, immediately changed her face to full of anger, pointed at her and cursed, "You bitch, you are talking nonsense, how could Qi'er have an affair with such a dirty woman? I must beat her to death today."
Your mouth."
"Come here, take this slave who is talking nonsense and filthy to his master and kill him!" He hurriedly stood up and shouted around.
Liu'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Mother, please forgive me, everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."
"You bitch, you still dare to pour sewage on Qi'er. Come here, chop this woman into pieces and feed it to the dogs." The queen was so angry that she gasped for air, and her eyes could not help but be a little panicked.
"Queen, I am still here. I don't care about you yelling here. Sit down." Yin Xianglong clenched his fists and frowned in a cold voice.
Concubine Ling said softly: "Your Majesty, Queen, please don't be anxious. Let Liu'er speak clearly before speaking."
Then, he looked at Liu'er who was kneeling on the ground and whispered softly: "Liu'er, tell me everything you saw. Don't be afraid. The emperor is a good emperor who understands things."
Yan Qiqi suddenly understood that Ling Fei's move killed three birds with one stone, not four birds with one stone.
The fact that she was kidnapped the next day had alarmed Yin Xianglong.
I heard from Yin Tianjue that Yin Xianglong has issued a decree that if the Sisi Kingdom does not hand over the next day in three months, he will send troops to attack the Sisi Kingdom.
For the sake of the country's peace, the Yi Ling who came to get married naturally did not want to see such a thing happen.
So I thought that this incident could divert Yin Xianglong's attention, which would give the Sith Kingdom more time to prepare.
Moreover, by getting rid of Concubine Wan and the Queen who are in charge of the harem, her status in Yin Xianglong's harem will be improved.
Only by being favored and gaining power can you earn more opportunities for the Sith State.
Thinking about it this way, this woman is really smart, but how she knew that Yin Tianqi and Concubine Wan were annihilating each other is very puzzling.
Next, Liu'er began to tell.
"When it was still dark, the slave couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk. As he walked, he wandered off.
The slave girl suddenly discovered that there was dragon snake grass in the grass. Recently, Ling Fei's empress had been suffering from back pain. The slave girl wanted to dig some dragon snake grass for the queen to use on her waist, so she continued to pick it.
Unknowingly, this slave has walked far away, and at this moment, a very, very..."
At this point, Liu'er couldn't continue talking, with a shy look on her face.
"Keep talking!" Yin Xianglong's voice was not loud, but there was anger in his words, which showed that he was trying his best to hold back.
"Yes." Liu'er took a breath and started talking again, "The voice was very ambiguous. I thought the emperor was having an evening with Concubine Ling. Tonight..."
"Cough..." Concubine Ling pretended to cough slightly, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
Liu'er bit her lower lip and continued: "The slave was a little curious, so he walked over secretly. The slave leaned on the window and took a peek, and saw that Concubine Wan and Prince Jin were doing it naked.
Do that kind of thing.”
"Damn you bastard, you are talking nonsense, I am going to cut out your tongue." The queen became angry again.
"Shut up!" Yin Xianglong shouted coldly.
The queen shrank slightly, but still said boldly: "Your Majesty, you can't believe it just based on such a shameless word. Qi'er is unjustly accused."
"When did I say I believed you?" Yin Xianglong said impatiently.
He ignored her and looked at Yin Tianqi with squinted eyes, asking coldly, "Yin Tianqi, tell me if it's you or not!"
He didn't call Yin Tianqi Qi'er, which shows how angry he is now.
Yin Tianqi glanced at Concubine Wan and his wife, gritted his teeth, stood up and walked to the center of the hall, saying seriously: "Return to the emperor, father, not a son."
I'm sorry Wan'er, he can't admit it. Once he admits it, he will not only lose everything, but also probably lose his life.
I secretly swore in my heart, Wan'er, please go away and I will avenge you in the future.
His denial did not make Concubine Wan even the slightest bit sad.
For her, Yin Tianqi is just a tool for her to climb up. The only person she loves is her brother Cheng. Of all the men, she only cares about her brother Cheng.
"No?" Yin Xianglong's eyes suddenly narrowed and he asked without any emotion, "It's really not you?"
Yin Tianqi secretly took a breath, and continued to deny, "Back to my father, how could a son do such a treasonous thing? That annihilator is not a son."
What he said was not vague at all, and he explained everything completely.
Yin Xianglong stared at him for a while, then moved his eyes to Concubine Wan, "Is it him who destroys the husband?"
Concubine Wan did not answer immediately, but looked towards Yin Tianqi.
She pursed her red lips slightly and shook her head, "I was kidnapped there. My eyes were covered by clothes and I couldn't see the man's face clearly. I don't know who the man is. Please, Your Majesty, take a closer look.
Give me justice."
She didn't say it wasn't Yin Tianqi, nor did she say it was.
I say this not to protect Yin Tianqi, but to Ming'er.
Even if it is Yin Tianqi, Yin Xianglong will not execute him when the time comes. At most, he will be sent to the border.
After this happened, she couldn't survive, but she wanted to protect her child.
It would be easier if Ming'er was Yin Tianqi's child, but he is not...
So she couldn't offend Yin Tianqi, so she could only say this.
Her words made Yin Tianqi, who was at the forefront, relax a little.
Yin Tianqi moved the corners of his lips slightly, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Wan'er, thank you, but I can't protect you.
The queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Yin Xianglong: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Qi'er. It is probably the flower picker who took a fancy to Concubine Wan's beauty, so he took her to the ruined palace and raped her.
of."
Yin Xianglong did not stop her this time, but looked at Concubine Wan with tears on her face carefully, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, wasn't Concubine Wan Gui concubine also kidnapped last time? I haven't found the flower picker yet, so I thought it might be him." The queen said hurriedly.
Although I don’t know why Concubine Wan didn’t drag Qi’er into the water, Qi’er is much safer now.
Yin Xianglong stared coldly at Liu'er who was kneeling on the ground, "Slave dog, how dare you accuse your master and say, who gave you the courage?"
His voice was majestic and cold, and Liu Er was frightened until she turned pale.
However, although Liu'er was frightened, she was not intimidated and said tremblingly: "Slave, I don't have it. Everything I said is true."
"That's the truth." The Queen felt more comfortable, and the anger in her body was much less.
She said in a sinister tone: "Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, this bitch should be the maid brought by Concubine Ling from the Sith Kingdom. She must have followed Concubine Ling's instructions."
Concubine Ling's little face suddenly tensed up. She didn't show any weakness and retorted.
"The queen can eat food but not talk nonsense. Your Majesty will be with me all night tonight. How could I know about Concubine Wan's affair with someone else?"
Yin Xianglong glanced at her calm face, then moved his eyes to Liu'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Then this dog slave deliberately framed the master and talked nonsense. Someone will pull her out and kill her."
"My slave is unjustly accused. Everything my slave said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood." Liu'er shouted repeatedly.
Immediately, he looked at Yin Tianqi, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly said: "This servant also heard the conversation between Prince Jin and Concubine Wan. It seems that when the twelfth prince was talking about their names, please ask the emperor to carefully observe."
Concubine Ling immediately stood up, knelt at Yin Xianglong's feet, and spoke softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also hope that you will investigate carefully. This will not only give justice to Liu'er, but also give innocence to the Twelve Princes. This will prevent others from criticizing the Twelve Princes in private in the future, but we still need to find out clearly.
good."
Yin Xianglong frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and his clenched hands tightened a little more.
"Alas..." Looking at his expression, Yan Qiqi couldn't help but sigh.
Yin Tianjue took her hand, squeezed it, and whispered, "Aqi, why are you sighing?"
"Sigh for the pathetic people." Yan Qiqi curled her lips slightly and said quietly.
Yin Xianglong originally wanted to end it with Concubine Wan being insulted by the flower picker, in order to let Yin Tianqi and Yin Tianming go.
But Concubine Ling refused to let go. This was an invisible slap on Yin Xianglong's face.
It is estimated that Concubine Ling's fate will not be so good from now on.
The person Yin Xianglong loves in his heart is no longer there, and other women are just his playthings or political accessories.
There is a huge difference between a lover and a plaything. The one you love can pamper her and let her go, but once the plaything is out of control, she has no choice but to throw it away.
Concubine Ling wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Wan and Yin Tianqi, and overturn the queen's wishful thinking, but she was afraid that the fight would not work.
This spiritual concubine turned out to be nothing more than that. I had overestimated her before.
"According to my concubine's opinion..." Yin Xianglong spat out without any emotion.
"Your Majesty, I have a good idea." Concubine Ling immediately stood up and said with a flash of beautiful eyes, "You shed blood to admit your kin. Only by doing this can we return the innocence of King Jin and the Twelve Princes."
As soon as her words came out, Yin Tianqi's face suddenly turned pale, and the panic was clearly visible in his eyes.
Yin Xianglong lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, raised his head and said coldly: "Come here, bring me a bowl of water."
"Father, father..." Yin Tianqi was about to admit it, but he was interrupted just as he spoke.
Concubine Wan immediately said: "Okay, I accept the blood to recognize my kin. The relationship between me and the King of Jin is pure and innocent. Naturally, Ming'er is not his."
She didn't look at Yin Tianqi, her beautiful eyes looked straight at the person in the seat without any fear.
Looking at her expression, Yin Tianqi's frowning eyebrows couldn't help but show doubts.
Isn't Ming'er his son?
Soon a palace maid came over with a bowl of water. She put the water on the table and then stepped away.
In order to prevent someone from doing anything in the water secretly, Yin Xianglong also asked someone with medical skills to check it out. After confirming that the water was clear, he signaled to start.
Yin Tianqi held his hand and knelt there without moving.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and bleed." Seeing that he was not moving, Yin Xianglong frowned and shouted coldly.
Yin Tianqi glanced at the mother and son kneeling on the ground. Seeing that there was no trace of panic on Concubine Wan's face, she felt confident in her heart.
He bit his finger and dropped a drop of blood into the bowl.
Next it was Yin Tianming's turn.
Yin Tianming's face turned pale with fright, and he kept burrowing into his mother's arms, shaking his little head, "No, Ming'er is afraid of pain, Ming'er doesn't want it, wuwu..."
"Be good, Ming'er, be good. Mother and concubine promise that Ming'er will not be in pain." Concubine Wan hugged his little body and comforted him warmly.
It's just that Yin Tianming was frightened and didn't dare to show his head. He grabbed Concubine Wan's clothes tightly with his two small hands.
Yin Xianglong frowned slightly and waved his hand towards the eunuch on one side, "Go over and pull him over and give him a drop of blood."
"Father, Ping'er and Ming'er have a better relationship, so it's better for Ping'er to do it." Yan Qiqi stood up immediately and said.
Yin Xianglong paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Yan Qiqi walked over, and Concubine Wan automatically handed Yin Tianming into her hands.
Because she knew that only this woman could save Ming'er now.
Yan Qiqi squatted down awkwardly, raised her arms to hug Yin Tianming's small body, and said with a smile: "Ming'er is a man, it's just a drop of blood, I believe Ming'er can do it."
"But Ming'erjue, I think my father will be angry." Yin Tianming murmured intermittently while sobbing.
Although he didn't know what happened between the adults, he could still feel his father's anger. If he spilled blood, his father would be angry and might even beat him.
Yan Qiqi held his little face with both hands and said with a warm smile: "Sister-in-law Fourth, I promise that father will not be angry with Ming'er, so don't worry."
"But..." Yin Tianming glanced at his sullen father, his little body trembled again, tears of grievance burst out, and he began to sob.
"Okay, okay, Ming'er still doesn't believe the fourth sister-in-law?" Yan Qiqi raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his face.
She held his little hand and put it on her belly, and deliberately said sarcastically: "Ming'er, you are going to be a little uncle, why are you still crying? When the fourth sister-in-law's baby is born, he will laugh at you too."
"Baby, I have to set an example for my little nephew. I can't cry." Yin Tianming immediately raised his chubby hand and wiped it randomly on his face a few times.
Yan Qiqi touched his head and praised: "Good boy, Ming'er is not afraid of blood, you are a man. My fourth sister-in-law said before that a man bleeds but does not shed tears."
"Ming'er knows that Ming'er is not afraid of bleeding. Ming'er wants to be a man." Yin Tianming held back the tears in his eyes and stretched out his little finger, "Sister-in-law Fourth, please help Ming'er."
Yan Qiqi raised her lips and smiled: "Good boy."
Then, he took out an embroidery needle and pricked his little finger gently, and dropped a drop of blood into the bowl.
She believed that Ming'er was definitely not Yin Tianqi's child, otherwise Concubine Wan would not have been so bold as to let her blood flow.
The two drops of blood wandered back and forth in the bowl. After a while, they still repeled each other and showed no signs of solidifying.
Yan Qiqi stood up and said slightly to Yin Xianglong: "Back to my father, the blood is not compatible with each other, which means that Ming'er is your son, not the child of King Jin."
As soon as her words came out, the queen felt relieved.
Yin Tianqi also breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed.
The son he always thought was not his now, and he didn't expect Wan'er to lie to him all the time.
Judging from the look on her face, she must have known that Ming'er was not his son, so she was so relieved to let him shed blood.
Although I feel bad, no matter what, there is no danger this time. Fortunately, Ming'er is not his child.
Wan'er probably only did this because she wanted him to protect Ming'er.
It turns out that Ming'er is still his younger brother, not his son. Although he is happy, he still has some regrets in his heart.
Yin Xianglong looked at the two drops of blood in the bowl, and his frown could not help but relax.
Ming'er is his son, that's good.
He didn't want to raise a son for another man, not even his own grandson.
It would be fine if it was not exposed, but if the world knew that his son was actually his grandson, for the sake of royal dignity, Ming'er would not be forgiven.
Now it seems that these worries are gone.
In this way, he only lost a woman, not to mention Concubine Wan, who he had already stopped touching, and now she was no longer innocent.
When the time comes, he will give her a white silk ribbon and let her commit suicide, as if her death proves her innocence, so that Ming'er can raise her head in the future and not be criticized by others because of the stains on her mother's body.
Yin Xianglong looked at Concubine Ling standing next to him and said coldly: "Concubine Ling, what else do you have to say? You are so aggressive towards Ming'er and Qi'er, I have to doubt your motives."
