Li Xiu walked into the hall little by little. Emperor Yanxi, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on a wicker chair, and there were several people wearing dragon yellow robes standing below.
A woman in purple palace clothes stood next to a man in yellow robes in his thirties. This man's name was Ji Yu, and he was the one who had been arguing with the man named Ji Dan.
"Ji Dan! No, I shouldn't call you Ji Dan, I should call you Li Fengyuan! Look who this person is?" Ji Yu pointed at Li Xiu who walked into the hall.
"What...person?" Ji Dan stared at Li Xiu, and he was a little stuck when he spoke.
Li Xiu wanted to walk between these princes and take a closer look at Ji Dan's appearance.
But two golden-armored guards stepped forward to stop him. The golden-armored guards were waiting for the emperor's order.
"Father, this man's name is Li Xiu, and he is the only son of Li Fengyuan! I beg your father to allow him to recognize his relatives and find out the monster who is confusing the royal family!" said the woman in palace attire.
"Wan'er, are you sure? He is your eldest brother!" Emperor Yanxi said.
"Father, don't believe the acting of these two siblings! I, Ji Dan, am your biological child! I am definitely not Li Fengyuan!" Ji Dan defended.
"Then do you dare to shed blood and admit your kinship?" Ji Yu said angrily towards Ji Dan.
"My father is old, how can you shed blood so easily? You are such an unfilial and rebellious son!" Ji Dan scolded.
"Who said you need to use the blood of your father? Just use the blood of your biological only son! If you are not that Li Fengyuan, how can you fuse with the blood of Li Fengyuan's only son?" Ji Yu looked at Li Xiu with a sneer.
.
At this moment, how could Li Xiu still not see the situation in front of him? Li Xiu thought to himself: Prince Ji Dan is probably his cheap father Li Fengyuan, and I am not the one who wants to get rich by acknowledging relatives. What if?
I really recognized it. My father committed a crime and was beheaded. I am a family member of the prisoner, so I have nothing to do with it.
While Li Xiu was still thinking wildly, another group of golden-armored guards came outside the hall with a few people.
Li Xiu turned around and looked around. He actually knew all these people! They were all old neighbors of Chuncaotang.
When these people walked near Li Xiu, the old neighbors also saw Li Xiu.
However, all of these old neighbors looked nervous and scared. No one dared to speak, they just looked at Li Xiu for a closer look.
Emperor Yanxi said a few words to the eunuch beside him in the main hall.
The eunuch said loudly in the palace:
"Bring the people from Li Xiuchun's Thatched Cottage to see you!"
Several golden-armored guards led Li Xiu and the old neighbors into the middle of the hall.
The eunuch came down the steps quickly. He looked at Li Xiu and asked, "Who is Li Xiu, the son of Li Fengyuan of Qingzhou Chuncaotang?"
Li Xiu took a step forward and said loudly: "The grassroots are Li Xiu, the son of Li Fengyuan of Qingzhou Chuncaotang!"
"Can anyone prove it?" The eunuch looked at the old neighbors of Chuncaotang again.
A golden-armored guard turned around and whispered to the old neighbors of Li Xiu's family. The old neighbors of Li Xiu's family pointed at Li Xiu one by one and said:
"That's Dr. Li!"
"Yes! That's him, his appearance hasn't changed much over the years!"
"Doctor Li killed officers and soldiers twelve years ago, and we all saw it with our own eyes!"
"When Dr. Li was treating my daughter, he touched my daughter! Wow, I even recognized him when he turned into ashes!"
The old neighbors began to criticize what Li Xiu had done in those years.
Li Xiu was a little confused when he heard what these old neighbors said. Of course he knew the old woman who said he had molested the girl.
Back then, her family's meat seller fed her six-year-old daughter until she was as big as a ball. She ate meat all day long and got constipated. Li Xiu just pressed the fat girl's belly, so how could she become a miniature person?
The old neighbors came forward one by one to identify Li Xiu. The eunuch asked the golden-armored guards to call the group back. Then he turned back and said to Emperor Yanxi:
"Your Majesty, Li Fengyuan's son has been confirmed. Please make an order for Li Fengyuan's son and his neighbors to come forward and recognize the crown prince!"
Emperor Yanxi looked towards Li Xiu.
"Accurate!"
The old eunuch who had just spoken walked over to Li Xiu and his old neighbor. He waved his dust fly and ordered a golden-armored guard: "Bring these people to Prince Yandan and let them identify His Highness the Prince!"
Several golden-armored guards led Li Xiu and the old neighbors into the palace.
"Father! My son has been wronged! How could these refugees ruin my reputation?" Prince Ji Dan knelt on the ground, tears falling down his cheeks.
No matter how much Prince Ji Dan begged, Emperor Yan Xi remained silent.
Li Xiu and his old neighbors were brought less than five steps away from Prince Ji Dan one by one. The golden-armored guards asked everyone to take a closer look at Prince Ji Dan.
Everyone looked at the tearful Ji Dan with trepidation. They didn’t know why the tears of Prince Ji Dan kept coming. They were all moved by the smell. Even Li Xiu’s eyes were red. Prince Ji Dan’s face was different from the one he had lost contact with for more than 20 years.
My father looks so much like me! It’s just that he looks a little older.
Prince Ji Dan glanced at Li Xiu a few more times inadvertently, and Li Xiu clearly felt his tears flowing down.
Waves of blood-connected emotions surged into his heart, and Li Xiu's lips trembled. He held back tears but still burst into his eyes.
Li Xiu wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves. There was no doubt that this man was his father Li Fengyuan! But how did his father become the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom in the past twenty years?
Li Xiu's expression was seen by everyone in the palace, and the prince named Ji Yu walked directly in front of Li Xiu.
"Is this person your father Li Fengyuan?" Prince Ji Yu asked.
Li Xiu's eyes turned red. He calmed down and looked at Ji Yu.
"I don't know him at all! Although he is very similar to my father, my father has a half-inch long scar on his chin, which I accidentally scratched on his face when I was a child! There is no scar on this man's face, he is not
My father Li Fengyuan!"
"Impossible! You just recognized it clearly! When father and son met, you both burst into tears. How could it be false?" Prince Ji Yu was so angry that he went to arrest those old neighbors of Li Xiu's family.
"Tell me, is he Li Fengyuan?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old woman knelt down and kowtowed, and kept crying:
"Master Huang! That person is Doctor Li! Please spare me!"
"Master Huang! He is Doctor Li! We grew up together, and I can tell when he speaks!"
The old neighbors knelt down and kowtowed, and while kowtowing, they talked about the past events of Li Xiu's father.
"Ji Dan! No, Li Fengyuan! Thief, what else do you have to say?" Prince Ji Yu pointed at Prince Ji Dan and yelled angrily.
"Ji Yu! I don't know these refugees at all! You must be trying to seize the crown prince's position and frame me! My father will definitely make the decision for me!"
Prince Ji Dan walked to Emperor Yan Xi again, but was blocked by a golden-armored guard.
"Li Fengyuan! The witness is here now. Even if you and Li Xiu don't admit it, then you must shed blood and admit it in front of your father!"
Come, drag Li Fengyuan's son outside the palace, chop off his hands and feet and get a bowl of blood!" Prince Ji Yu ordered directly to the golden-armored guard.
"Hold on! Why would you cut off his hands and feet to recognize your kin with blood?" Prince Ji Dan turned around and shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, father, you see, he is clearly protecting his biological son! It has been exposed!" Prince Ji Yu laughed loudly, clearing away the depression in his heart.
Emperor Yanxi also stood up at this time, his face as cold as frost.
"Cut off the hands and feet of Li Fengyuan's son and gouge out his eyes! I will avenge my son Ji Dan!" Emperor Yanxi cried sadly.
Watching the two golden-armored guards step forward to escort Li Xiu, Prince Ji Dan suddenly shouted: "Ji Dan! My son is in trouble, don't you care?"
Everyone in the palace looked at Prince Ji Dan.
Boom! Boom!
There were two loud noises, and the two golden-armored guards were hit by Li Xiu's two heavy punches and flew out. A dozen or so golden-armored guards reacted and hurriedly surrounded Li Xiu.
