Chapter 331 Blood Test

Jinzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It's not hopelessly stupid to stay this week!

Liufuzi had long expected that Uncle Zhou would not admit it easily. During these days in prison, when the pain was unbearable, he concentrated on thinking of countermeasures, and now it finally came in handy!

"Your Majesty, how dare this slave!"

Liufuzi screamed, his face full of fear.

"Although this slave heard such shocking whispers, he never dared to speak out for the sake of this despicable life."

"If I hadn't exposed my flaw in front of Eunuch Huang that day, my slave wouldn't have fallen to this level. His life would have been hard to save!"

"Now that it's all been revealed to the public, even though I'm from a humble background, I can say a word of righteousness with a shameless face!"

"What I hate the most in my heart is the traitor from the North. If the traitor is allowed to confuse the blood of the royal family now, I will not be able to rest in peace until my death!"

"Your Majesty, I dare to swear on my life that what I heard about Uncle Zhou's secret statement is true. If it is false, I will punish the Sixth Blessed Son to death without a complete body, and he will not be reincarnated forever!"

After the words were spoken, everyone in the palace looked shocked.

Even the prince never thought that the little eunuch selected by the alum would be so loyal and brave, which is touching!

Huang Pei's heart trembled!

This... this kid really makes their eunuchs look good!

Being handicapped is not a shame, only a man with a righteous heart can be a husband!

If this boy had his life, he would take him as his godson.

Uncle Zhou's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said in a panic: "This little servant comes from a humble background. How can he say such a thing? Someone must have taught him!"

"Your Majesty, someone is trying to put His Highness to death!"

Qiao Zhongguo looked at the entire audience. It was obvious that Uncle Zhou's argument was untenable, but for some reason, the second prince seemed confident.

Qiao Zhongguo was unsure, so he thought of simply pursuing the victory and eliciting a blood test!

With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Zhongguo took a breath, but before he could speak, Concubine Jing's sinister voice sounded from behind the screen.

"The words of this little slave make people feel true! As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Zhou Liu must be quibbling this time!"

Concubine Jing secretly felt that Liufuzi would not have the guts to lie, and the second child was definitely the son of Yuliu and his adulterer!

It's so funny that the Holy Admiral took that Yu Liu as a treasure, but he turned out to be a big bastard!

Concubine Jing is the most outspoken person, but she doesn't dare to say these words, but she is not ambiguous at all when she does things that add insult to injury!

It's best to press the dick completely to death today, so that Yu Liu can die in peace, hum!

But in the end, the arguments we have been arguing have no basis...

Concubine Jing squeezed her hands, suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

But she didn't dare to be the first person, so she simply pulled Aunt Mei aside and lowered her voice and whispered:

"Aunt Mei, I heard that there is a method of blood test among the people. You are the Queen's close friend. Come on, let the Holy One drop blood to test your marriage! The second prince will definitely reveal his true colors!"

Many people in the palace are skilled in martial arts and have sharp ears and eyes. Concubine Jing's words were taken seriously.

Aunt Mei:! ! !

Thank God, there is still Concubine Jing in the harem!

Just now, she was worried about whether she was being too serious in rashly proposing a blood test on behalf of the Queen, but now it's over...

Aunt Mei kowtowed to the ground and immediately said with great respect:

"Your Majesty, please be brave. I heard that there is a drop of blood test among the people, which can identify the kinship. Maybe you can give it a try!"

When Uncle Zhou heard this, nervousness and fear instantly occupied his mind, and his breathing became rapid.

It's over, I really can't hide it anymore!

Jin Zhu was originally not sure whose child His Highness the Second Prince was, but now seeing Uncle Zhou's reaction, his mind went blank.

Could it be...could it be such a coincidence that that night...

Huang Pei had already heard about this blood test method, and when he saw Grandma Mei mentioning it, he immediately became energetic!

OK OK! This is a good idea!

He turned around to look at Emperor Yong and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong sat on the upper seat, took a deep look at the calm second prince, and nodded slowly.

"Xuan Zouqi."

Zou Qi is Emperor Yong's most trusted physician, and the first thing that comes to mind is Zou Qi.

Qiao Zhongguo felt slightly calm after hearing this.

At this point, this series of strategies finally formed a closed loop!

Zou Qi hurriedly answered the call and saw the people in the hall. His heart was beating fast and his face was calm.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong asked calmly: "Zou Qi, let me ask you, is the folk blood test method accurate?"

Zou Qi "hesitated" for a moment after hearing this, and then said with extreme caution:

"Your Majesty, this drop of blood test is called the blood test. I have traveled around the world and witnessed this blood test with my own eyes. The accuracy... is about 80%."

"Eighty percent..."

Emperor Yong murmured something, and then made the final decision.

"Then check it out! Zou Qi, go to the inner hall and prepare everything you need. Huang Pei, you go with him personally!"

Zou Qi "looked confused" when he heard this, and "didn't dare to ask" who was testing the drop of blood, so he had no choice but to follow Huang Pei into the inner hall.

When the second prince heard that Concubine Jing mentioned the blood test, his heart skipped a beat, but he had already prepared for the worst.

However, when Emperor Yong announced the arrival of Zou Qi, the second prince immediately became vigilant.

Obviously, Brother Huang came here well-prepared today, and it was very likely that even the blood test was designed by them from the beginning!

Although Zou Qi belonged to his father, he returned to the capital to treat his injuries, and eventually came into contact with Qiao Zhongguo.

Don't forget that even Meng Guxue has her heart set on Qiao Zhongguo. Why can't Dr. Zou be bribed?

And at this moment, because Aunt Rou was never mentioned, the second prince had a vague guess in his mind!

Since Aunt Rou has never been used as a sharp edge in bloodline doubts, and seems to have disappeared from the world, does that mean that Aunt Rou's appearance is detrimental to the emperor's brother?

If you think about it this way, is it possible that Aunt Rou's confession confirmed that he is the son of his father, and even provided evidence!

Only for this reason can the imperial brother and the Qiao family tightly cover up Aunt Rou, not even daring to mention her name!

Thinking of this, the second prince took a long breath.

He had heard of this method of blood test, but he didn't know how to do it.

If he is really his father's son, their blood should be able to blend together.

When Zou Qiruo comes out of the palace, he will verify it no matter what, and will not give the emperor brother or the others any chance to do anything!

At this moment, everyone in the hall was speechless because they were too nervous. Everyone turned their ears and only heard a very small movement from the inner hall.

After a while, Huang Pei came out with a bowl of water, and Zou Qi followed.

Chapter 332: A try between my brother and my brother

"Your Majesty, here comes the clear water. I personally watched Doctor Zou collapse."

Huang Pei whispered.

Emperor Yong stood up slowly and pointed to the jade case in front of him.

Huang Pei carefully placed the water bowl on the jade table, and everyone held their breath.

Qiao Zhongguo's heart was pounding, and at this moment, he seemed to have regained the tension of fighting on the battlefield.

After inciting the rebellion against Imperial Physician Zou that day, he had a heart-to-heart chat with Imperial Physician Zou for a long time. In the end... he even revealed to Imperial Physician Zou the information that the second prince was actually the Holy Emperor's son!

There is no way, the manipulator of this blood test is Dr. Zou, he must be free from confusion and control the whole area!

At that time, Doctor Zou looked shocked, held his hand and said:

"Lord Qiao, do you... do you know what you are doing? If His Highness is the Holy Emperor's biological son, what you and I are doing would be treasonous and even... frame up the emperor's heir! "

He looked solemn and turned a deaf ear to Doctor Zou's words.

"Mr. Zou, I, Qiao Zhongguo, will bear this heinous crime. Heaven knows and earth knows this matter. From now on, Dr. Zou, if you ask for anything, I, Qiao Zhongguo, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

At that time, Dr. Zou let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Who knew that I had already boarded the pirate ship! Who knew that the person in front of me was Qiao Zhongguo, who is famous all over the world!"

"Master Qiao, seeing that you are a hero in the hearts of the world, and seeing that the prince is truly benevolent, I will follow you all the way to the dark side!"

Then they carefully discussed the blood test method.

In the letter sent by Dalang, the secret of manipulation taught by Jiaojiao was written in detail. He and Erlang also tried it in full in front of Dr. Zou.

But at that time, he had made it clear to Imperial Physician Zou that the Second Prince was so intelligent that he would not easily believe it, and would even test him several times. The degree of this could only be controlled by Imperial Physician Zou himself!

Dr. Zou sighed three times in succession and shouted that he had sinned, but he still agreed.

Qiao Zhongguo knew that Dr. Zou was really a wonderful person, but this game was really dangerous!

Everyone involuntarily cast their gazes. Doctor Zou pretended to be confused and asked uneasily: "Your Majesty, I wonder if this person who is going to verify the marriage is..."

Huang Pei replied on behalf of Emperor Yong: "The ones to be tested are the Holy One and His Highness."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zou's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty! This, this, this... this method of blood test, I have just said that it is only 80% accurate. This royal bloodline cannot tolerate childishness, or... or... ....."

Emperor Yong's face darkened when he saw this, "Zou Qi, just tell me how to test it."

Zou Qi's old face looked like he was about to cry without tears. He stood up tremblingly and said timidly:

"Back...back to Your Majesty, as far as I know, this method of combining blood is to use a bowl of water to test two people. Each of the two people to be tested needs to drop a drop of blood from their fingertips into the water bowl. If the blood fuses, it will be a biological child. If not Rong, I'm afraid there's doubt about the bloodline."

"But blood is soluble in water after all, and will mix into a ball over time. Therefore, only the first few breaths can be done accurately, and that's about... that's about it."

Emperor Yong's eyebrows were gloomy, and he couldn't tell his thoughts clearly. He could only say coldly: "Test!"

At this time, the second prince came forward and bowed deeply to Emperor Yong.

"Father, I know that Dr. Zou is my father's personal physician, and Eunuch Huang is my father's most trusted person."

"But this situation is about the relationship between the father and the son, and it is about the life and death of the son. The son must not tolerate any confusion or calculation!"

"So, I'm requesting verification, otherwise no matter what the result is, I'm not willing to admit it!"

The second prince's words were reasonable and very strong, because at this time he was already more inclined to believe that he was the son of Emperor Yong!

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this scene, he secretly exclaimed: Sure enough!

As soon as the second prince came closer, Emperor Yong faintly smelled a strange smell.

His eyebrows suddenly jumped in surprise, and a heat rose in his chest. He responded without any hesitation.

"Second brother, how do you want to verify it?"

The second prince slowly turned his head, looked at the prince beside him, and said softly:

"The emperor's brother is also the son of his father. I am very envious that the emperor's brother has not been exposed to this rumor."

"Brother Imperial, I think you wouldn't mind coming together for a test, so that I can prove my innocence, right?"

The prince seemed to have expected this, and he stepped forward without changing his expression.

"nature."

The three most noble men in the Yong Dynasty stood together, and there was silence in the imperial study.

Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at Zou Qi, who was hunched over, and said coldly: "How are the three of you going to test it?"

The muscles on Zou Qi's face twitched because he was too frightened, and he hurriedly said with a trembling voice:

"If three people want to test, they need two more bowls, one for the Holy Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, one for the Holy Lord and His Highness the Second Highness, and the last bowl can be used to test His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Highness. In this way, there should be no mistakes or omissions."

Emperor Yong nodded upon hearing this, "Then bring two more bowls of water!"

Zou Qi hurriedly turned around and went to the inner hall again, followed closely by Huang Pei. After a while, the two of them came out holding a bowl of water each.

Three bowls of water were lined up on the jade table. The second prince glanced over the three bowls and said solemnly:

"Father, can my son designate a water bowl dripping with blood?"

The prince took the initiative to take over the conversation and said calmly: "Second brother, whatever you want."

The second prince said in his heart that he was not nervous, but that was a lie.

He always thinks to the extreme when doing things, so he has already assumed that Dr. Zou is now Qiao Zhongguo's person.

In this case, the clear water in front of you must be tampered with!

Especially the first bowl is the most suspicious!

But he immediately pulled the emperor's brother into the water. If Dr. Zou had to adjust his countermeasures in time, which bowl would be without problems?

The second prince looked at the three bowls of water back and forth twice with a sinister look on his face, but he couldn't see any problems with his naked eyes.

After all, he still has the trump card left by his mother and concubine. He can afford this big gamble!

Thinking of this, the second prince stretched out his hand and pointed at the bowl of water that Huang Pei took out for the second time, which was the bowl on the far right.

When he made this move, he glanced quickly at Doctor Zou from the end of his eyes.

At this moment, he saw Doctor Zou's frown slightly loosen, extremely vaguely.

The second prince remained calm, turned his head to look at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, how about you test it with my brother first?"

The prince nodded without any unnecessary expression.

"Then let's get started."

Zou Qi hurriedly held up a cloth bag with many silver needles stuck on it for easy blood collection.

The second prince had made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He took the silver needle and stuck it directly on the tip of his left index finger.

After the blood seeped out, the second prince squeezed it gently, and a drop of blood fell into the bowl of water in the middle.

He smiled faintly at the prince and said, "Brother, I just thought of it and changed it to the second bowl."

The prince didn't say anything. He immediately took the silver needle, shook his head nonchalantly, and pricked the tip of his left index finger as well.

He squeezed slightly, and the blood fell into the second bowl of water.

At this moment, Emperor Yong's heart trembled slightly, and he pressed his hands on the edge of the case, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

Huang Pei was so horrified that his teeth almost broke. He stood beside Emperor Yong, shaking his legs!

Qiao Zhongguo was not far away. At this time, he poked his head and was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.

His eyes widened, and he could see clearly at this moment that the two drops of blood faintly spread out after falling into the water bowl, but in the end they were distinct and never merged!

Chapter 333 Yu Liu betrayed him!

The hall was silent for several breaths.

Huang Pei turned pale and slowly turned to look at Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong's upper body was almost bent over the jade table. He moved closer to the bowl of water in the middle, breathing rapidly, his nose flaring, and even blowing a wave on the water bowl.

But even so, the two drops of blood faintly rippled and drew together, but never merged together.

Emperor Yong suddenly raised his head and stared at the second prince, his dark eyes filled with fierce wind and rain, but also revealing a hint of secret confusion and hesitation.

The second prince's face paled slightly, and he turned to look at Dr. Zou who was standing aside.

Doctor Zou had a look of fear on his face and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Wei Chen...Wei Chen just said that this blood combining method can only be done 80% of the time!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace who had never been close but felt itchy immediately guessed the results of the blood test.

Concubine Jing's eyes widened, but after the shock, she became elated!

God has eyes!

This second child is indeed someone else's son!

"Test again!"

The second prince said quickly with a heavy eyebrow.

The moment it happened, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

If Dr. Zou really did something wrong, maybe there was something wrong with the silver needle!

Or maybe they anticipated his suspicions and counterattacks, so they took a big gamble.

Therefore, if there is no problem, it may just be the first bowl of water!

With his thoughts at this point, the second prince raised his head and looked at Emperor Yong openly.

"Father, please test it out with me, and... no silver needles are needed!"

As the second prince spoke, he bit his right index finger and squeezed a drop of blood into the first water bowl.

At this time, Emperor Yong faintly smelled a very fragrant aroma. It was only a faint hint a moment ago, but now it was much more obvious.

He lowered his head and looked at the first bowl of water, his eyes a little distracted, but no one noticed.

"this......"

Huang Pei was a little worried when he heard this. Could he let the Holy One bite his finger?

Emperor Yong didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and bit off his right index finger, then squeezed a drop in!

The second prince leaned forward, and this time he couldn't help but put his hands on the jade table, his heart beating rapidly and his blood rushing.

There is no mistake, he must be the son of his father!

Only after Aunt Rou's guess did he realize that his mother-in-law was so smart that there was no way she would have left him such a fatal flaw.

After all, if he looks like his biological father, no one can control it!

Uncle Zhou must have misunderstood!

Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou...

The second prince held his breath and concentrated, his eyelids twitching slightly. He saw his and Emperor Yong's blood droplets faintly spreading in the water bowl, but still - not fused!

"Dick!!!"

Emperor Yong suddenly raised his head, he was furious, his features were squeezed into a ball ferociously, he raised his hand and slapped the second prince hard across the jade case!

Snapped--

The second prince was unprepared, and was knocked to the side by the slap. A red mark instantly appeared on his handsome face.

"Your Highness!"

Uncle Zhou and Jinzhu shouted in unison, extremely frightened!

Emperor Yong also shook his whole body, his teeth clenching.

At this moment, Emperor Yong thought of more than just the resentment and shame of being cuckolded.

"Okay, okay! You and your mother-in-law...you and Yu Liu are——"

"Father!"

The second prince suddenly turned his head, his eyes were faintly red, and said sternly:

"There's something wrong with the water, there's something wrong with the three bowls of water! Father, I'm your bloodline, it's them! It's them who want to make the lie come true!"

The second prince said, turning to look at the prince, gritted his teeth and said:

"Brother Imperial, do you have the guts to test it against your father again!"

This time, before the prince could answer, Emperor Yong had already sneered.

He squeezed the bitten finger again and squeezed a drop of blood into the third bowl of water!

When he looked up again, Emperor Yong glared and gnashed his teeth, and said coldly: "Second brother, this is your last chance."

The prince stepped forward. He raised his eyes and glanced at the second prince. His dark eyes were full of meaning. Then he bit his finger without hesitation and squeezed out the blood.

Everyone's attention is here, in this third bowl of water.

I saw two drops of blood slowly opening up, entwining and connecting with each other in the bowl of clear water, until - completely integrated into one!

"Melt! Melt! Melt!"

Huang Pei couldn't help but screamed.

When everyone in the palace heard this, their spirits suddenly rose, but Uncle Zhou and Jin Zhu instantly collapsed to the ground.

Uncle Zhou put his hands on the ground and his eyes were about to burst!

His Highness's catastrophe was caused by him. The princess's decades of planning were ruined in one day. He... He, Zhou Liuwan, could not redeem himself even if he died!

If he had known this, when he returned to the capital, he should have risked his life to persuade His Highness to go to the North Country immediately!

Now...now that his life experience has been ruined and he is trapped in a prison, His Highness has no way to escape!

At this point in his thoughts, Uncle Zhou beat his chest with both hands and burst into tears, wishing he could die to apologize!

Emperor Yong's fists were clenched tightly, and his sinister eyes shot out with sharp and cold eyes, which fell directly on the second prince's face.

How much love and pity he had for the second prince in the past, now in the face of the truth, how much disgust and hatred he had for the second prince!

Yu Liu... Yu Liu betrayed him!

Even if he wasn't perfect when he came to get married, he didn't care because of the freshness and love in his heart.

But after becoming his concubine, Yu Liu was still having an affair with Di Zaiying, and even let him raise the child for them for so long!

Not to mention... not to mention the many stupid things he has done for their mother and son over the years!

Queen...Queen...

At this time, for some reason, the image of the queen appeared in Emperor Yong's mind again. She knelt on the green bricks of the Yangxin Hall, crying and begging him:

"Holy Lord, please open your eyes and see! Please see for yourself, what has become of you!"

"She won, Yu Liu completely won. I don't have the courage like her to leave Zhan'er behind. She is dead, but she will always be invincible!"

"Your Majesty, the love between you and me has been exhausted..."

"Is it Yu Liu's fault? No, it was you, the Holy One, who personally gave her this opportunity, didn't you..."

"This Hall of Cultivation of the Heart used to be a house of joy, but now it has become a place of sadness. I will never bring humiliation to myself again."

The queen knelt heavily on the ground, gave him a big salute, and then turned around decisively against the mark of the slap.

This departure represents fourteen years of separation.

Emperor Yong couldn't help but his eyes darkened when he thought of this, and the feeling of grief and anger came over him again, making him breathless.

His whole body shook slightly.

Huang Pei noticed something strange about Emperor Yong and was so horrified that he shouted: "Your Majesty! Imperial Physician Zou! Imperial Physician Zou, come and take a look!"

Chapter 334 My son is willing to show his will with blood

Emperor Yong pushed Huang Pei away. He suddenly turned his head and fixed his eyes on the hidden grid on the wall.

He originally thought that he had finally melted Yu Liu's heart, and her willingness to bear children for him showed her affection.

Everything was a fate. She was a princess from a foreign country, and she was not allowed to be in Yong's former harem, so she exchanged her own death for the life of the second son. In this way, everyone was willing to let the second son go.

However, the second child is not his son at all!

Does this mean that everything Yu Liu has for him is false, every step she makes is a calculation, and he has already fallen into this exquisite and shocking network!

The trip to Huguo Temple that year is the best proof.

At that time, Yu Liu planted the seed, and today, fifteen years later, that seed has grown into a tangled cancer, killing so many children in the Yong Kingdom!

And until a few days ago, he was still obsessed with the memory of Yu Liu, unable to extricate himself.

Emperor Yong suddenly blushed and looked around blankly, like an embarrassed beast.

His eyes swept over Huang Pei beside him, over to Imperial Physician Zou, past the prince, past Qiao Zhongguo, and finally settled on the second prince.

He was the supreme leader of the Yong Dynasty, the supreme emperor, but for so many years, had everyone laughed at his ignorance in their hearts, poked his spine and scolded him?

Emperor Yong opened his mouth, but in an instant his face turned as golden as paper, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood without warning!

Hot blood spurted out and fell into the three bowls of water in front of him.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the hall screamed in shock, and Huang Pei's eyes were about to burst!

Everyone thought that Emperor Yong was too nostalgic for Yu Liu and would not be able to accept the truth for a while, so he became angry.

But Huang Pei knew that this was the third time that Emperor Yong had vomited blood in this period!

Something's wrong! Something is really wrong with the holy dragon body!

Everyone came forward instinctively, except for the second prince whose eyes fell on the three bowls of clear water on the table.

He saw that in the bowls of clear water where he and the prince had dripped blood drops, their blood was slowly dissolving in the water.

And the blood drops that Emperor Yong sprayed in condensed on the side and did not blend with the prince's blood!

At this moment, the second prince finally came to his senses!

Perhaps there was something wrong with these three bowls of water from the beginning, so no matter which bowl he chose, his blood would not blend with the blood of his father and brother.

And the reason why the emperor's brother can become an exception may be that the secret of manipulation is in the hands of the emperor's brother!

Thinking of this, the second prince went against the flow of people and walked in front of the prince. In the chaos, he suddenly grabbed the prince's right hand!

As long as it is proven that the imperial brother manipulated this blood test, he still has room to turn over!

However, when the second prince turned over the prince's palm, it was clean without any trace except for the bite wound just now.

The second prince was slightly startled, and when he raised his head, he met the prince's clear eyes.

He said in a low voice: "Second brother, no, you are not my second brother at all. You are - Di Zaiying's son."

The second prince's eyes suddenly sank when he heard this, "Brother, you have caught me in the wrong position. What is the truth now depends on your mouth."

"But if my brother thinks that you can sit back and relax now, you are totally wrong!"

"Your opponent has always been my mother and concubine, not me..."

After the second prince said this, he suddenly shook off the prince's hand and immediately approached Emperor Yong with a "frightened" look on his face.

Qiao Zhongguo guarded Emperor Yong, watching Zou Qi check the pulse of the semi-conscious Emperor Yong, and watching the confrontation between the prince and the second prince.

He saw the prince slightly stunned, and the second prince walking over.

Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped in front of Emperor Yong, blocking the way of the second prince.

Jiaojiao had told him that the second prince would have someone to rely on when he returned from this trip, and it was very likely that he would target the prince and the emperor directly!

The portrait just now was plotting against the prince, but now it has been resolved, what about the Holy One?

The second prince faced Qiao Zhongguo's tall body, and his face showed an unprecedented solemn look.

The Qiao family has always been the key to defeating him. In every node where he suffered setbacks, the Qiao family played a vital role.

For example, today, if Qiao Zhongguo hadn't bribed Imperial Physician Zou, his life experience would have been true, how could he have been forced into such a desperate situation?

"Master Qiao, don't think that you can be alone even if our palace loses. If you have great achievements, this palace will give it to you."

"Do you think Brother Huang is different? Ha, your Qiao family——"

"Shen Yuanbai!"

Xiao Hongda suddenly shouted low, walked quickly from the hall, and stood forcefully in front of Qiao Zhongguo!

"Your bloodline has been determined. You are a traitor from the Northern Kingdom. You are no longer qualified to stand here. Don't use your clever words and tricks to try to turn yourself around!"

When Xiao Hongda saw the second prince's posture, he immediately hurried over.

He, Lao Xiao, has two tasks today, one is to establish a victory for the prince, and the other is to protect the Qiao family!

Qiao Zhongguo instantly understood Xiao Hongda's painstaking efforts and immediately turned around to see Emperor Yong.

At this time, Imperial Physician Zou placed his right hand on Emperor Yong's pulse, his face looking extremely heavy!

Huang Pei was so anxious that he shed tears and asked quickly: "Mr. Zou, what's going on with Your Majesty!"

Imperial Physician Zou was horrified. Emperor Yong's pulse was extremely rapid, like a rapid rain, so strange and unspeakable!

This, this, this... This is not like anger attacking my heart, but like I have been poisoned by a strange poison!

Seeing that Imperial Physician Zou was silent for a long time, Qiao Zhongguo poked him from behind under the cover of his wide sleeves.

Doctor Zou suddenly stirred up his spirit. When he saw that Qiao Zhongguo was coming, he said quickly: "Eunuch Huang, if I dare to say something, Your Majesty may be poisoned!"

"Poisoned!?"

Huang Pei and Qiao Zhongguo both spoke in low voices.

The second prince here was stopped by Xiao Hongda, but when he heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth strangely.

The next moment he swept his long sleeves and suddenly grabbed a water bowl on the table in his hand, and the other two bowls were brought to the ground.

crackling——

The water bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"ah!"

Concubine Jing's frightened screams came from behind the screen!

Xiao Hongda instantly became vigilant and immediately deceived himself to seize the bowl.

When the prince saw that Emperor Yong was still unconscious and unable to take charge, he immediately shouted in a low voice: "Here comes someone!"

The guards outside the palace rushed in and were stunned when they saw Duke Ding attacking the second prince.

The prince said in a solemn voice: "The background of the second prince was in doubt, but now it has been found out that he is the illegitimate son of Concubine Jade and a spy from the Northern Kingdom!"

"Capture him quickly and put him in jail, leaving him to be dealt with by the Holy One!"

The guards' eyes widened when they heard this, but as the prince is a prince, and now that the emperor is ill, they will naturally follow the orders of the Eastern Palace!

"As you command!"

The guards lowered their faces and stepped forward with their swords in hand.

The second prince struggled to avoid Xiao Hongda's grasp, and broke the water bowl in half with a strong force in his hand.

The next moment, he did not hesitate to plunge the sharp corner of the broken bowl into the wound on his left shoulder!

When the broken bowl was pulled out, the second prince's left shoulder was bleeding profusely!

He looked at the dragon chair and shouted:

"Father! My mother and concubine are infatuated with you. How can you suspect that your mother and concubine are unfaithful today because of other people's calculations?"

"Father! I am willing to shed my blood to prove my will. Please restore my innocence!"

Chapter 335 The Holy One is hysterical!

Those who had just witnessed the blood test in the palace thought that the second prince was at the end of his rope and that they were crazy.

He is not of the holy blood at all, and the results clearly show it!

He was so angry that he vomited blood. Do you think that a few words can be of any use now? What man can tolerate being cuckolded by his beloved woman!

Qiao Zhongguo also turned his head and looked over in shock. He couldn't figure out what the second prince was doing.

Could this be related to the so-called trump card hidden by the second prince?

At this time, Huang Pei's shout of surprise suddenly rang out.

"Wake up! Your Majesty is awake!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately turned around and saw Emperor Yong's eyelids twitching and finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, showing deep confusion, and then he murmured: "Yu Liu..."

Qiao Zhongguo was shocked when he heard this.

It's been such a long time, could it be that the Holy One is still obsessed with Yu Liu?

Emperor Yong looked at the red beams on the roof of the Imperial Study Room, and felt an extremely rich aroma filling his nostrils, and even penetrated into his body.

He turned his head slightly and saw Huang Pei, who was crying with joy.

At this moment, Emperor Yong clearly felt that something was wrong with him, but this clarity seemed to be lost soon.

Emperor Yong's eyes suddenly widened, he held Huang Pei's hand tightly, and uttered something vaguely:

"do not forget......"

Then, Emperor Yong felt a force coming out of his body, making him instantly energetic!

Yu Liu's appearance flashed through his mind, and the scenes of the two getting along flashed back one after another. He could hardly suppress the thought of Yu Liu.

Huang Pei felt the strength in his hand, and he was startled. Is the Holy Shang Shangfang reminding him?

But at this time, Emperor Yong had already let go of Huang Pei's hand. He stood up holding Huang Pei's shoulders, his face rosy and full of energy, as if it was not him who had just vomited blood.

Zou Qi opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to check his pulse again, but Emperor Yong brushed him away.

When the prince heard the noise, he turned around and saw Emperor Yong standing next to the dragon chair again.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment, so he whispered: "Father, how do you feel?"

However, Emperor Yong turned a deaf ear to the prince's words. He suddenly raised his hand and patted the right armrest of the dragon chair, and the hidden grid on the wall opened in response.

The prince followed Emperor Yong's gaze and looked over. When he saw Yu Liu's portrait, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then the hairs on his body stood up!

Could it be that Yu Liu's portrait has been kept in the royal study by his father? Then every time he comes to the imperial study, he spends time with this portrait!

And my father has been staying in the royal study for a long time for so many years. Everyone praised my father for his diligence, but it turned out that my father was commemorating an enemy princess in this place where major national affairs were discussed?

How could the father...how could...

"Father!"

The prince's heart was filled with anger and resentment, and he couldn't help shouting.

The former harem and the emperor of the Yong Dynasty were really turned upside down by a Yu Liu!

However, Emperor Yong still ignored the prince's distressed call.

His eyes were fixed on Yu Liu's portrait, with all kinds of tenderness and nostalgia on his face.

When the prince saw this, he couldn't help but feel terrified!

Only then did he realize how lethal the second prince's two meaningful sentences were.

My father's obsession with Yu Liu has reached the point of insanity!

The second prince was injured and weak, so he had to dodge several times with great reluctance. However, when he saw Emperor Yong getting up and opening the secret grid, the last hesitation in his heart was settled.

The father's love for his mother and concubine is indeed "as deep as the sea".

He raised the corners of his mouth. Compared with the horrified reactions of Uncle Zhou and Jin Zhu, he was terrifyingly calm.

"Father!"

He shouted at Emperor Yong.

"Father, can you tolerate everyone humiliating your son and ministers like this?"

"My mother-in-law will be heartbroken when she sees her son in such miserable condition!"

Emperor Yong turned his head when he heard the sound, and when his eyes met the second prince's face, he almost thought that Yu Liu was standing in front of him alive again.

The next moment Emperor Yong bypassed the long case, walked up to the second prince in a few steps under the astonished eyes of everyone, and said softly:

"Yu Liu, I know you are reluctant to leave me."

Xiao Hongda just grabbed the sleeves of the second prince at this time. When he heard these words, his eyes suddenly widened and his whole body felt cold!

Your Majesty... Your Majesty is hysterical! The Holy Admiral recognized the Second Prince as the Jade Concubine!

The second prince tilted his head and said with a smile: "Father, you are confused. You are my son."

"Father, please save my son, Duke Ding wants to put his son to death!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong turned to look at Xiao Hongda, and his originally tender gaze was instantly replaced by coldness.

He shouted majestically: "Xiao Hongda ignores the king's wishes. The following offenders come here and drag them out——"

"Father!"

The prince spoke in time to stop what Emperor Yong was saying.

He walked forward quickly, with a chill in his handsome brows. He was no longer the respectful and docile prince he was before.

He faced Emperor Yong directly and said in a serious voice: "Father, the blood test just now has proven that he is the illegitimate son of Concubine Yu and Di Zaiying. Why do you still show favoritism to this!"

When the second prince heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and said to Emperor Yong, letting the blood drip from his shoulders:

"Father, my brother, together with Duke Dingguo, Qiao Zhongguo, Imperial Physician Zou, Concubine Jing and others, have wronged my son and ministers. If you think deeply about this, I am afraid that you may have had the intention to usurp the throne!"

"The two most powerful ministers in the imperial court are both members of the prince. How can one not get chills down the spine? Not to mention that the empress has the Ren family behind her!"

"Father, my brother has been planning this for a long time. He is the one who deserves death!"

When Emperor Yong heard this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, as if he was sinking or struggling.

When the second prince saw this, he suddenly raised his hand and touched the blood on his shoulder, then grasped Emperor Yong's wrist and said slowly:

"Father, in this world, only your sons and ministers and your mother and concubine treat you sincerely. You see, your sons and ministers have shown their will with their own blood."

Emperor Yong stared blankly at his blood-stained wrist. In the blood-red color, there seemed to be something crawling greedily under his flesh and blood.

Emperor Yong's body was filled with heat, and any hesitation and struggle disappeared in an instant.

He turned around suddenly and looked at the prince next to him, his eyebrows cold and stern, as if he was looking at an enemy.

"Prince, are you seriously trying to conspire against me?"

"Xiao Hongda, Qiao Zhongguo, are they all your helpers?"

"I'm not dead yet, but you've already formed a clique for personal gain and started coveting my position!"

"Okay, okay, come here!"

————

A few palace walls away, a small figure was sitting on a stone bench, with a child standing next to him, his face full of eagerness.

"Sister Qiao, what next!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart was also filled with turmoil at this moment!

The fourth prince already knew her specialness, so Qiao Jiaojiao did not hide her shame in front of him.

She and the fourth prince were too young to enter the imperial study room at this time.

Therefore, Qiao Jiaojiao could only use the Merit Mall to redeem an "immersive" charm and peek at the scene in the imperial study room from a distance.

The originally good situation took a turn for the worse when the second prince punctured his left shoulder, and now it looked like he was about to make an absolute comeback!

Blood!

There is definitely something wrong with the second prince's blood!

No wonder he dared to return to the palace. It turned out that he could control Emperor Yong's mind with his blood!

What the hell did Yu Liu leave behind!

"Xiaosi, we have to rush there, in case-"

"Okay! Sister Qiao, get on my back!"

The fourth prince squatted down slightly, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao on his back, and rushed to the imperial study room with steady steps!

If my father was really poisoned and Dr. Zou didn't notice it for so long, perhaps only Sister Qiao's magical power could cure it!

hurry up! Hurry up!

Sweat formed on the forehead of the fourth prince, and he felt extremely anxious when Qiao Jiaojiao's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Ah, Huang Pei stepped forward!"

Chapter 336: The king and his ministers back then

"Come here! The prince intends to rebel. I will strip him of his python robe and throw him into prison!"

Emperor Yong made a stern voice, which shocked everyone's expressions.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Everyone in the palace was pleading for the prince.

Huang Pei's expression changed several times. He knew that something was really wrong with His Majesty!

If this decision really comes to fruition, the Holy Spirit will definitely regret it until he wakes up!

Thinking that just now Liufuzi had sworn the oath of "never be reincarnated" for the sake of righteousness. As Huang Pei, the personal eunuch of the Holy Sage, and the person who knew the Holy Sage best, how could he watch the Holy Sage make mistakes again and again!

Thinking of this, Huang Pei staggered forward, risked his life and fell down beside Emperor Yong's legs, hugged Emperor Yong's legs and shouted:

"Your Majesty, no!"

"The slave...the slave is guilty! The slave is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Actually, last year, when you asked your slave to execute Di Zaiying, I heard Di Zaiying's last words!"

"Your Majesty, Di Zaiying calls His Highness 'Bai'er'!"

"His Second Highness is indeed Di Zaiying's son. Your Majesty, you cannot make the same mistake again and again. Doing so will only make your relatives angry and your enemies happy!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is gentle and kind, and regards the Holy One as heaven. He is the crown prince who was taught by His Majesty!"

"Your move...your move will push His Royal Highness into the abyss of eternal destruction!"

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Pei shouted so loudly that his old body knelt at Emperor Yong's feet, trembling uncontrollably.

Emperor Yong lowered his head and looked at Huang Pei, a look of struggle flashed across his face again, and it was even distorted and weird!

At this time, both the prince and Qiao Zhongguo noticed something strange.

Emperor Yong's whole body was trembling slightly, as if he couldn't control himself!

With his thoughts at this point, the prince suddenly looked at the second prince and his bleeding shoulder!

Could it be...the mystery lies here!

What kind of sorcery is this!

Qiao Zhongguo suddenly grabbed the arm of Imperial Physician Zou and said quickly: "Physician Zou, you are well-informed. What poison is so powerful that it can control the mind with blood?"

Doctor Zou's expression also changed. He thought about it and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Master Qiao, this, this, this... I'm afraid it's not poison! Such a monster can confuse people's minds and influence their actions. I'm afraid it's not one of Nanli Kingdom's secret skills, so it's called Gu!"

"insanity?"

Qiao Zhongguo looked confused, but Xiao Hongda suddenly realized it!

He has dealt with Nanli Country for many years and knows the weirdness of Nanli Country. There are many strange people there who are good at poison, medicine, and poison. They are very mysterious!

Gu, in particular, is extremely mysterious and vicious. It is said that it can confuse the mind and even turn people into puppets!

The second prince raised his eyebrows when he heard that everyone had guessed the clues, but he was confident.

Shen Yuanbai is still alive today, but he is just a puppet. His mother and concubine have arranged this situation since Qiao Zhongguo attacked the city, and it is far beyond the ability of today's manpower to solve it!

Now he can advance, attack, retreat or defend. As long as he can control his father, there is no need to worry about turning defeat into victory!

When Qiao Zhongguo saw that the problem lay with the second prince, he calmly leaned over and picked up a fragment of the water bowl, secretly looking for an opportunity.

But when he raised his hand several times, he found that Emperor Yong was very close to the second prince, and he seemed to instinctively protect the second prince with his body, preventing him from finding the opportunity to strike!

How could the second prince not take precautions? In this palace, Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda looked down upon him the most!

He approached Emperor Yong and said quickly:

"Father, you see, even the eunuchs who are closest to you have their hearts set on the emperor brother. It can be seen that the emperor brother has been plotting for a long time and is pervasive!"

"Father, why are you still hesitant? Can you allow others to interfere with your throne?"

The second prince said, pinching the wound hard.

He couldn't help groaning in pain, and Emperor Yong suddenly raised his foot and kicked Huang Pei in the stomach.

"Dog slave! I trust you so much in vain! Damn it!"

Huang Pei fell suddenly and curled up in pain.

Tan Hanchi on the side saw this and rushed to help Huang Pei, but Huang Pei took the opportunity to hold Tan Hanchi's hand tightly.

Before he could speak, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, Huang Pei lowered his voice and said tremblingly:

"Tan... Written by Tan Xiu, the Holy Sage may have been aware of today's situation a few days ago. The Holy Sage left a decree... in the Yangxin Hall! "

"Tan Xiuzhuan, Your Majesty trusts you, and this old slave also trusts you. Please take me to get it quickly, maybe... maybe you can reverse this situation!"

Tan Hanchi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

He raised his eyes and looked around. The situation here was out of control. Mr. Qiao couldn't escape. He was insignificant here. He just happened to take Eunuch Huang away!

Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi hurriedly helped Huang Pei up.

At this time, Emperor Yong had already said in a cold voice but firmly: "Come here, capture the prince for me!"

"And Xiao Hongda and Qiao Zhongguo, all of them will go to jail together!"

The imperial guards in the palace were directly under Emperor Yong. No matter what the disputes were before, Emperor Yong looked the same now, so they naturally had to obey his orders.

After all the guards looked at each other, they finally drew their swords and stepped forward!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongda immediately stood in front of the prince.

Seeing the guards surrounding him, even though Qiao Zhongguo had promised Jiaojiao not to show up, he could only move forward quickly.

If someone hiding the second prince among these guards harms the prince, it will be irreversible!

Emperor Yong saw this scene and sneered: "Qiao Aiqing, my suspicion is indeed true."

"Xiao Qing is the quasi-father-in-law of the prince. He protected the prince today. I can't help but forgive him."

"But you are my important minister, and now you are also looking towards the prince, which makes me feel extremely chilled!"

Qiao Zhongguo was heartbroken when he looked at Emperor Yong, who had no distinction between right and wrong and was like a puppet.

This is the Holy One whom Qiao Zhongguo has supported for decades!

"Your Majesty!"

Qiao Zhongguo bowed to Emperor Yong, his eyes were reddish, and he said sincerely:

"A man who has deprived himself of the emperor's salary should die in battle and return with his body wrapped in horse leather, rather than indulge in intrigues and deceptions in the court like I do today, walking on thin ice every day, worried about the loss of the throne, and be in constant panic all day long!"

"When the Holy Spirit sent me to the Northern Expedition, I had so much faith in him. I am so grateful for it that I still dare not forget it even when I dream about it at midnight!"

"Your Majesty, I really just have to give my heart to your Majesty!"

Speaking of this time, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but shed tears on the spot.

"The prince is the legitimate son of the Holy Emperor. He is benevolent and virtuous and has no faults. Why did the Holy Emperor be deceived by this traitor from the north and make false suggestions to abolish the throne? This traitor's move is treason!"

"If my loyal minister Qiao Zhongguo eats the king's salary and doesn't think about serving the country, he is no different from an animal! Even if I die today, I have to stop the Holy One from making a big mistake!"

"As for the rebellion that the Holy One said, if I, Qiao Zhongguo, have such thoughts, God will not bless you!"

Emperor Yong met Qiao Zhongguo's red eyes, his expression fluctuated slightly, heat and moisture surged in his chest, and he suddenly took a step back.

At that time, the monarch and his ministers had a deep understanding of each other, and they were like a fish in water...

Emperor Yong slowly raised his right hand, trembling for a long time, but finally dropped it hard.

"Take it!"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo closed his eyes slightly, filled with despair.

Holy lord, we have finally come to this point...

Qiao Zhongguo turned around to protect the prince, when a sonorous and powerful voice sounded outside the palace:

"Let's see who dares!!!"

The phoenix robe is noble and dignified, shining in the sun!

It's the Queen who has arrived!

Chapter 337 The Empress and Emperor Yong Confronted each other

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned around and saw that it was the queen, and the imperial guards subconsciously made way for them.

Tan Hanchi on the side saw that everyone's attention was on the queen, and he looked at this opportunity, dragging Huang Pei out of the side door of the side hall!

The empress, dressed in a phoenix robe, walked to the prince step by step with determination.

She raised her eyes to look after Emperor Yong who was in front of the second prince, twitching the corner of her mouth slightly, her eyes full of ridicule.

Although she had not arrived in person just now, Grandma Mei had been sending people to report the progress here to her.

Hearing that Emperor Yong seemed to be poisoned, the queen did not feel sorry for him, but felt extremely sad.

At this time, she traced the source and vaguely guessed that the poison might have had its symptoms on the day Yu Liu handed over the letter and portrait.

At that time, the ministers suggested that General Qiao had already arrived at the northern city. It was a good time to pursue the victory and complete the ancestral hegemony!

At that time, the poison should not have been deep. As the emperor who had risen to a high position step by step, the holy master had the willpower to resist. However, the holy master was arrogant and insisted on his own way.

He wanted both the world and the beauty.

When Emperor Yong saw the queen, his expression suddenly started to struggle. He took a step forward, but the second prince suddenly grabbed Emperor Yong's arm and said with a smile:

"Queen Mother, you are here."

"Looking at your position, you are also a part of the emperor's deliberate rebellion?"

"Father, the queen teamed up with her relatives and important officials to help the prince in his rebellion. This matter has precedents in all dynasties. If we don't act first to gain advantage, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future!"

The second prince's men used force, and Emperor Yong's expression fluctuated for a long time, but finally became indifferent.

He looked around and shouted to the imperial guards: "Take the queen down too!"

The Imperial Guards looked hesitant upon hearing this, but when Emperor Yong's cold eyes swept over them, they were all excited and immediately pressed forward step by step.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hongda and Qiao Zhongguo immediately stepped forward to protect the queen, but the queen's expression did not change and she shouted coldly:

"How presumptuous! I am the Queen of the Middle Palace who was carried in from Chengtian Gate under the orders of the ancestors of heaven and earth. Who dares to do something in front of me!"

"Today's blood test has made it clear that the second prince is of foreign blood. Today he bewitched the Holy One with the intention of treason, and you still want to help him do it!"

The imperial guard was shouted at by the Queen's majestic voice. He immediately did not dare to step forward and stood between the two parties, helpless.

Emperor Yong's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he angrily yelled at the queen: "The affairs of the world are up to me. I am going to do it now. Who dares to disobey!"

The queen had no fear at all, she was tit for tat with Emperor Yong!

"The affairs of the world depend on the Holy One, on the loyal ministers, and even more on the millions of common people! If the thieves from the Northern Kingdom are allowed to succeed today, it will shake the country and destroy the foundation of our Yong Dynasty ancestors!"

The queen looked around and glanced at the sword-wielding imperial guards one by one, and said loudly:

"And everyone here today is a traitor!"

The faces of all the royal guards changed greatly when they heard this!

At this time, Xiao Hongda stepped forward and was the first to stand in line!

"Xiao Hongda, the Duke of Yongding, is here. He vows to kill Shen Yuanbai, the traitor from the Northern Kingdom. He will go up to the imperial court to secure the country. He will thank the people all over the world. He will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Qiao Zhongguo also took a step forward and stood in front of the queen and prince with Xiao Hongda, one on the left and one on the right, making their position clear.

When the fourth prince arrived with Qiao Jiaojiao sweating profusely, he saw such a confrontation.

The two small figures poked their heads, both looking for the right moment.

[Thank God, the Empress arrived in time, otherwise by the time Xiaosi and I arrived, there might have been a fight inside! 】

[Now that the talisman has been found, Emperor Yong and the second prince are surrounded by the imperial guards. How can I get in? 】

[Besides, I can't be noticed by anyone that I'm helping Emperor Yong, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really be caught and burned to death! 】

Qiao Zhongguo was looking solemn when he suddenly heard a familiar childish voice reaching his ears.

His heart skipped a beat, it was Jiaojiao who was here!

This strange poison seems to have penetrated deeply into the Holy Lord's bones and blood. I am afraid that only Jiaojiao can remove the poison from the Holy Lord's body.

By then, as long as the Holy One wakes up, the second prince will naturally have nothing to rely on, and the prince will not have to bear the charge of rebellion!

Let him think about it...

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes slanted slightly, and he faced Qiao Jiaojiao. The father and daughter blinked in tacit understanding, and then they understood each other tacitly.

The second prince did not expect that this time, the always timid empress would be so able to stand firm. After all, she still responded to the sentence "Being a mother is strong."

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but glance at the prince behind everyone.

Brother Huang is so lucky, everyone loves him, everyone is looking towards him...

The second prince twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, suddenly wiped his right hand on his shoulder, and then wiped the blood from his hand to Emperor Yong's mouth.

Emperor Yong was like a puppet, and he didn't even resist.

After doing this action, the second prince looked at Qiao Zhongguo specifically.

Don't think he hasn't noticed, Qiao Zhongguo holds a bowl of slices in his hand, ready to give him a fatal blow at any time!

"Master Qiao, I advise you not to take action against this palace, because my father will spare no effort to protect this palace, and then you will be charged with regicide."

"Do you think your Qiao family can still survive in this way?"

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his hands under his sleeves trembled slightly.

The second prince smiled evilly and said warmly: "Father, there is no need to waste any more time. We can take them down in one fell swoop. How about we go see our mother and concubine together?"

Emperor Yong licked his lips subconsciously, and the smell of blood entered his mouth, causing his face to turn red and his expression to be excited.

He nodded without hesitation, and then raised his voice: "The crime of treason between the queen and the prince is proven true. Come and capture them all!"

"Whoever dares to disobey my orders will be treated as an accomplice of rebellion and the nine clans will be punished!"

The last words were spoken by Emperor Yong to these imperial guards.

However, the imperial guards also vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Emperor Yong, and now stood in a dilemma between the two parties.

They cannot afford the consequences of killing the Nine Tribes, but as the Empress said, if they really help the emperor to do evil, it will be tantamount to betraying the country.

Seeing the stalemate in the palace, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately lowered her head and asked: "Xiaosi, can you rush in? Just let me come into contact with your father for a few breaths."

The fourth prince looked solemn. He was also in a hurry, but he had to think carefully.

What if I can't save my father by breaking in this time, and I am still held hostage by my second brother? It will really be a waste of money!

He looked around the hall and suddenly nodded firmly, "Sister Qiao, I'll try my best. You don't have to force it. There must be other opportunities!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she immediately nodded seriously.

The fourth prince bowed his body slightly, and was about to exert force with his feet, when suddenly a clear and clear voice came from far away from the palace road:

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says!"

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says!"

Everyone turned to look and saw Tan Hanchi holding an imperial edict high above his head, walking fast, and shouting all the way!

Chapter 338 Save Emperor Yong first!

Imperial decree?

When everyone heard this, they looked at Tan Hanchi who was running towards him in disbelief.

Falsely spreading the imperial edict is a grave crime against the nine clans, even Tan Xiuzhan would not dare! But in the end this imperial edict...

At this moment, even the second prince, prince and others looked surprised.

When Tan Hanchi arrived outside the royal study, he unfolded the imperial edict and spoke in a solemn voice:

"The Holy One has a decree hidden in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart!"

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says:

It has always been the emperor's first priority in governing the world... I have worked hard for decades, but although I am still in my prime, I feel that I am beyond my capabilities.

...

Today, the Prince of the East Palace, Yuan Zhan, has a noble character. He deeply respects me and will definitely be able to inherit the throne. After I ascend the throne, I will become the emperor.

This announcement is hereby made both internally and externally, and the history of Xian will be informed. "

After Tan Hanchi finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

When the queen and the prince heard this, they both looked at Emperor Yong in disbelief. However, Emperor Yong was like a puppet at this time, unconscious and numb.

The second prince's complexion changed drastically, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.

My father... my father had already been interested in his brother for a long time, and he even left a succession edict!

He took a deep breath, slowly calmed down his inner depression, turned to look at Emperor Yong, and asked warmly:

"Father, don't you want your son to succeed you to the throne?"

Emperor Yong turned his head when he heard the words, and when he saw the second prince's face, he nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"Of course, I will only pass the throne to my and Yu Liu's children."

The second prince got the right words and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. When he turned to look at Tan Hanchi, he was only cold and sarcastic.

"How dare you pretend to be an imperial edict! Come here! Capture Tan Xiuzhan. When this matter is determined, kill the nine tribes immediately!"

Tan Hanchi heard this but was not afraid at all. He turned the imperial edict over righteously and showed it in front of everyone.

"This imperial edict of passing the throne was written by His Majesty himself. It also contains the national seal and His Majesty's private seal. How can it be false?"

"I, Tan Hanchi, read the books of the sages. As the sages say, all people have died since ancient times. People cannot stand without faith! I have perseverance and faith in my heart, and I will never do anything to make an edict!"

The second prince snorted coldly, but before he could speak, a trembling voice came from the palace corridor.

"It's not fake! It's not fake!"

Huang Pei looked miserable and pale, holding his waist with both hands, and finally chased after him out of breath!

Seeing everyone looking at him, Huang Pei took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "The Holy Lord realized that he was ill a few days ago, and he was also vaguely aware of His Highness's ambition!"

"The Holy One is worried about today's accident, so he left this edict of passing the throne and hid it in the Yangxin Hall!"

"I just didn't expect His Highness to be so clever and to completely control His Majesty's mind!"

"Now that the edict has appeared, why don't the Imperial Guards capture the traitor from the North?"

Seeing that everyone was shocked by the appearance of the imperial edict, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly pulled the fourth prince's shoulder.

The fourth prince's eyes fell on the edict of passing the throne, and he was slightly touched in his heart, but in the end he shook his head.

He supported Qiao Jiaojiao on his back again, and suddenly like a nimble little mouse, he swooped out!

Tan Hanchi stood outside the imperial study room and saw with sharp eyes the fourth prince carrying Qiao Jiaojiao here. He suddenly remembered the magical power Qiao Jiaojiao showed when he rescued him.

His spirit suddenly cheered up. Could it be that Miss Qiao took the risk to cure the Holy Spirit?

In this case, he has to cover it!

Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao calmly, then strode into the hall, risking his way to the middle of the two groups of people.

He held the imperial decree, and everyone's attention naturally followed him to the temple.

Qiao Jiaojiao noticed Tan Hanchi's meaningful glance and sighed inwardly:

[Tan Hanchi really knows what's special about me! Otherwise, how could you be so clever and coincidental in covering me up! 】

[After all, you reap what you sow. Although I took risks to save people in the first place, now I have received an extremely intelligent help! 】

When the fourth prince saw that everyone had their backs turned to the outside of the palace, he felt happy for a moment.

He and Qiao Jiaojiao were both extremely small. At this moment, they ducked into the crowd and were inconspicuous.

The two of them sneaked up on Emperor Yong and thought it would go smoothly. However, Uncle Zhou suddenly called out in surprise: "It's the Fourth Prince!"

The second prince had asked someone to untie Uncle Zhou early. At this time, he supported Jin Zhu and stood together in the protective circle.

Everyone was paying attention to the imperial decree, but Uncle Zhou's eyes never left the second prince.

With exclamations, the second prince and Emperor Yong turned their heads to look over at the same time. Qiao Jiaojiao secretly exclaimed: [Oops! 】

She originally wanted to give the second prince a talisman or something while saving Emperor Yong, but now it was too much to save Emperor Yong!

Jiaojiao's merit emporium relies on merit. There are weird talismans in it, most of which can save people, but there are really no ones that can harm people's lives.

This amulet was originally carefully selected for the second prince by Qiao Jiaojiao when she came all the way. Now that the second prince is full of vigilance, it doesn't work...

[No matter what, save Emperor Yong first! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was worried and immediately pressed against Emperor Yong's leg. Seeing this, the fourth prince immediately covered Qiao Jiaojiao's little hand with his right hand.

To outsiders, it looked like they were holding on to Emperor Yong at the same time.

Qiao Jiaojiao recited silently in her heart: [Redemption! 】

This time she learned the lesson and tried her best to keep her head empty and not think about anything in her heart!

The fourth prince rolled his eyes at this moment, and suddenly his mouth narrowed, and he shouted loudly: "Father! Please wake up! Look at me! I am so scared when you are like this!"

"Little Four has always been obedient, Father. Mr. Tan taught Little Four how to write, but Little Four hasn't had time to show it to Father! Father, please wake up!"

Xiao Si knew in his heart that once Sister Qiao's talisman took effect, his father would definitely act strangely.

If the father wakes up from the poison and he shouts like this, others will think that he awakened the father and will not think of Sister Qiao.

After all, the idea of divine power is really unbelievable. How could ordinary people guess that way if they hadn't seen some clues in advance?

He said that he would definitely protect Sister Qiao! I won't let Sister Qiao be treated as a monster!

But at this time, the second prince frowned, and Uncle Zhou took a quick step, grabbed the sword of the guard on the side, and struck at the heads of the fourth prince and Qiao Jiaojiao!

"Who dares!"

When Qiao Zhongguo saw that Uncle Zhou dared to touch Jiaojiao and Xiaosi, he immediately shouted angrily, and the bowl in his hand flew out, leaving an afterimage!

From his perspective, Uncle Zhou was hiding behind Emperor Yong and the Second Prince, but his hands were exposed!

"ah--"

Uncle Zhou's screams sounded, and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately felt a drop of heat fall on her forehead, which made her scalp numb with fear.

She looked up and saw that the fragment her father had shot was deeply embedded in Uncle Zhou's wrist, and blood was dripping down from his wrist.

"Xiao Si, let's go!"

The moment Qiao Jiaojiao withdrew her hand, the fourth prince understood.

He lifted Qiao Jiaojiao into his arms and rolled him to the ground. Seeing that it was the fourth prince, the imperial guards hurriedly got out of the way.

Qiao Zhongguo immediately stepped forward, leaned over and picked up the two little ones with both hands.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't wait to look at Emperor Yong!

Chapter 339 Otherwise, I will die together!

Qiao Zhongguo carried Jiaojiao and Xiaosi to the Queen's side. The Queen's face was filled with shock, but at such a tense moment, she had no intention of scolding Xiaosi.

Xiaosi has always been a very measured child, and it was inappropriate to take this risk, let alone bring Jiaojiao with him?

If anything happens to Jiaojiao, how should she explain to Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao?

Come on, let's talk about it later!

The edict of passing the throne has been issued today, and they have a great chance of winning!

And she didn't believe it, what kind of poison in the world could be so powerful that it could completely control a person's mind indefinitely!

The control medium used by the second child is blood, so how much blood can he shed? If it's a waste, she can afford it, and Zhan'er can also afford it!

Just as the queen was thinking this, Huang Pei's sharp voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Majesty!"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that Emperor Yong's face suddenly turned red and his whole body was trembling. He leaned over and covered his stomach. There was something strange crawling under the skin on his face!

Qiao Zhongguo and the fourth prince immediately widened their eyes when they knew that Jiaojiao's talisman must have worked.

The fourth prince knew how to act in the whole drama, and he immediately burst into tears of joy: "Father! Father must have heard Xiaosi's voice! Father! Look up at Xiaosi!"

However, Emperor Yong was in so much pain that he could not hear any sounds.

He felt that his flesh and blood were suddenly torn apart from the inside. One moment it was like fire burning his body, and the other moment it was like a sword piercing him.

He wanted to make a sound in pain, but something seemed to be blocked in his throat, making him convulse all over!

The second prince was slightly shocked, and suddenly his face turned red. In an instant, he looked truly horrified!

He could feel that his father was getting out of his control!

How can this be?

The clever plan left by the mother and concubine clearly stated that this poison would be embedded in the flesh and blood, penetrate deeply into the heart, and over time, it would be completely integrated with the father's body, and the father would not be able to get rid of it until his death!

But now, he really felt the strange movements of the sub-gu. They were desperately rushing out of his father's body!

Oh no! He must strike first!

Thinking of this, the second prince turned around and took the knife from Uncle Zhou's hand, took Emperor Yong and walked out of the imperial study!

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

Xiao Hongda immediately blocked the way to the imperial study room.

The second prince sneered coldly when he saw this, and suddenly put the knife in his hand on Emperor Yong's neck, causing everyone to change their expressions!

The second prince is a courageous man. He knows in his heart that once Zi Gu escapes from his body, his father will no longer be under his control, and then he will lose everything!

Before returning to Beijing, he made two plans for victory or defeat.

The only surprise now is that the poison that the mother-in-law promised has failed, otherwise he would still have room to struggle!

Forget it, he has already put all his energy into thinking about today's situation.

Shen Yuanbai is not afraid of losing. As long as there is a way out, he will make a comeback!

"Xiao Hongda! Do you even care about the life of the Holy Emperor? If I kill the king today, no one who attacks me will be able to get away with it!"

"I, Shen Yuanbai, possess martial arts, and I will definitely drag the Holy Emperor down with me before I die!"

As Shen Yuanbai spoke, he leaned the blade against Emperor Yong's neck, and a trace of blood immediately oozed out.

When Huang Pei saw this, he was so horrified that his eyes were split open, and he shouted loudly: "No! Don't hurt the Holy Lord! Duke Dingguo, please get out of the way!"

Huang Pei has done his best to help the East Palace today, and he, a humble old slave, has also fulfilled his righteousness, but in his heart, the Holy One is always the most important!

Even if he were to replace the Holy One at this moment, he would not hesitate at all!

Xiao Hongda raised his head and glanced at the prince and queen. The prince and queen looked very complicated, but they nodded at the same time.

Not only because the man in front of them was their husband and father, but also because he was the emperor of the Yong Dynasty.

If they ignore the life of Emperor Yong today, even if they slaughter everyone present, and even if there is an edict to pass the throne, they will not be able to explain to the world the sudden death of Emperor Yong.

What's more, some people would think that the queen and the prince teamed up to kill Emperor Yong and the second prince in order to seize the throne!

The prince has a legitimate reputation, so he must not take such risks. Otherwise, if he is used by someone with ulterior motives, it is very likely to shake the foundation of the country!

The second prince is the best at calculating people's hearts. When he planned his retreat, he had already calculated the prince's weaknesses.

What they want is justice and truth, so they will definitely throw in the towel!

As soon as Xiao Hongda got out of the way, the second prince escorted Emperor Yong out of the imperial study.

At this time, Uncle Zhou's right hand was injured and the pain was unbearable. However, the soft tendons in Jinzhu's body were still weak and he could only move around relying on Uncle Zhou.

The second prince looked towards the end of the palace road, his expression slightly solemn.

He had been summoned before entering the palace, and now that his father-in-law showed up, the people over there should also understand his choice.

When will help... come?

At this time, Emperor Yong's state was already very wrong.

His body was in extreme pain, and if it weren't for the second prince holding him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

At this time, his whole face was so red that it looked like it was going to burst. He vomited several times, but never vomited anything out.

The second prince turned his head and looked at Emperor Yong, with a hint of sourness in his heart.

His mother and concubine exchanged their lives for him, but all that was left to him was calculation. On the contrary, his father, who was beside him, had secretly visited him because of his nostalgia for his mother and concubine.

Even though this relationship was based on falsehood, it still gave him a sense of warmth.

At that time, he also looked forward to the arrival of his father every day...

The sub-gu penetrates deep into the flesh and blood and wants to be expelled from the body. It is like ripping out the bones and removing half of the life. How can it feel better?

Father, Father, after you wake up, do you want to kill your son with a knife? However, in the final analysis, you and your son are just pawns of your mother and concubine...

The second prince didn't know whether he had accepted his fate or was even more crazy. He raised the corners of his mouth and showed no fear at all.

At this time, Emperor Yong beside him suddenly trembled violently, bent over, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood!

When everyone saw this, they were shocked!

How can a person survive when he vomits blood like this?

Qiao Jiaojiao opened her mouth, with shock on her face.

Her talisman could only remove the poison, but she didn't know that the poison was so weird that it almost took half of Emperor Yong's life!

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Pei called out sadly. He wanted to come closer, but he was afraid that the second prince would hurt Emperor Yong because of this. At this moment, he was already in tears and his heart was broken!

"No one should follow you! Otherwise, I will choose to die together!"

The second prince dragged the golden-faced Emperor Yong back step by step. Everyone pressed on him step by step, and they retreated to the end of the palace road.

The prince stared closely at the second prince and Emperor Yong, feeling extremely tormented at this moment.

If you let the second brother leave, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. If you let him ignore the life of his father, the consequences will be endless!

and......

The prince's expression fluctuated violently, and his heart was obviously ups and downs.

However, at this moment, Emperor Yong suddenly raised his head, his embarrassed face still stained with blood. His eyes were dim but clear, and they landed on the prince's face accurately!

Emperor Yong opened his lips slightly and spoke three words to the prince with all his strength.

The prince looked at it carefully and suddenly took a step back with a look of horror on his face.

His father said to him: "Huguo Temple!"

Chapter 340 His helper is here

Of all the people present, the only one who understood Yong Emperor's whispers as well as the prince was Huang Pei, who had been watching Yong Emperor.

Huguo Temple?

The Holy One told His Highness the Crown Prince to protect the country?

Huang Pei lowered his head when he saw Emperor Yong saying these words. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.

He was so worried that he subconsciously turned to look at the prince. When he saw the shocked expression on the prince's face, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

A few days ago, when the Holy One was still awake, he specially asked him to go to the Huguo Temple and ordered him to destroy the Huiqulaixiyuan with his own hands.

At that time, he thought that His Majesty was finally willing to let go of the Jade Concubine, and he was filled with joy and expectation, so he did not think too much about His Majesty's order.

But at this moment, he finally realized the Holy Sage's intention!

When the Holy One faced the Queen, he had already speculated that whether it was the revelation of the second prince's life experience or the tragic situation in the Protector's Temple, it was all the work of His Highness the Crown Prince.

In this way, as the great eunuch beside the Holy Emperor, he rushed to Huguo Temple when the Holy Emperor was ill. How could His Highness the Prince not care!

Thinking of this, Huang Pei slowly opened his mouth.

The Holy One deliberately let His Highness the Crown Prince see Gui Guilai Xiyuan!

The Holy Sage had already realized that something was wrong with him at that time. Perhaps he was worried that what happened today would happen, and he also knew that the prince was soft-hearted, so by returning to Xiyuan, he cut off the last trace of father-son affection that the prince had for him.

Your Majesty... Your Majesty is trying his best to say something to protect the country at this time, just to make His Highness the Crown Prince be ruthless and take action against him!

At this point in his thoughts, Huang Pei trembled all over and his hands and feet became cold. He suddenly turned around and knelt down to the prince. He walked over to him step by step, and then tightly grasped the prince's hem.

He raised his head, his face full of tears, and shouted tremblingly: "Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince! You can't do anything!"

"The Holy One is inherently wrong, but the Holy One is both a king and a father. The Holy One was a young emperor back then, and he was arrogant. Only then did he fall into the trap of Concubine Jade. After the Holy One came to his senses, he has been trying his best to plan for you step by step."

"His Royal Highness, you have a benevolent heart and an orthodox background. You will be a blessing to the world in the future and be respected by all people. Please think of a way to save Your Majesty!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Huang Pei shouted loudly and bowed deeply to the ground. His tears couldn't stop dripping on the floor tiles. He was already sobbing.

Call him die-hard Huang Pei or be ignorant. When the late emperor assigned him to take care of the Holy Sage, he regarded the Holy Sage as the sky and as everything to him Huang Pei!

The prince's hands hidden under his sleeves trembled slightly. Huang Pei could think clearly about things, so why couldn't he see through them?

When he stood on the ruins of Gui Qu Lai Xi's courtyard, his whole body was cold and his blood was coagulated. Thinking of that heartbreaking pain still made him despair.

He didn't dare or couldn't bear to tell his mother about this, let alone the young Xiao Si.

That day when he cut off his robe with a sword, he had completely made up his mind.

But today he found out that his father had lured him to Huguo Temple on purpose, and he had left behind a succession edict as a precaution.

Thinking of this, the prince's heart ached unbearably.

Father, Father, why didn't you wake up earlier? You have brought bitter consequences to your mother, your children, your mistress, and too many innocent people.

Now, are you using your life to teach your sons and ministers the final way of being a king?

I know that you want me to show the iron-blooded skills of a king, kill decisively, and avoid future troubles forever!

That's what happened, what's happened...

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes turned slightly red, and then he slowly raised his right hand.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms. When she saw the prince's movements, her heart suddenly jumped!

[Ah, the prince has made up his mind! 】

Qiao Zhongguo looked solemnly, looking at the unconscious Emperor Yong, his mind went up and down several times, and he sighed deeply in his heart.

When Huang Pei saw that the prince was serious about risking Emperor Yong's life, Huang Pei turned pale with fright. He hurriedly hugged the prince's legs and cried in panic: "Your Highness! No!"

The second prince frowned sharply when he saw the prince's actions.

He boasted that he knew the emperor's brother somewhat, and with his temperament, he would never disregard his father's life!

Also, according to the time, the helper should be here, right?

The second prince looked worried, and finally there were footsteps coming from the right side of the palace road.

"what happened?"

"Ah! Your Majesty!"

The footsteps became faster and faster, and everyone turned around to see that hundreds of civil and military officials were arriving without summons, and behind them, a group of "Forest Guards" were following!

The second prince saw this and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and finally took a breath.

Help is coming!

Since he dared to come back this time, he had naturally planned a way out. Otherwise, if things failed, he would be like a tiger's den in the palace. How could he escape?

He knew that this time when he returned to the palace, the emperor's brother must have laid a dragnet against him. The most obvious point was that he could not contact Liu Yun.

Liu Yun was taking care of the Chonghua Palace for him, and he still had the remaining available secret guards in his hands, which would be of great use in today's matter, but without receiving his instructions, Liu Yun would not dare to act rashly.

So he found another way and sent someone to contact Lin Zhaoyi.

Lin Zhaoyi was implicated in the imperial sister's affair last time and was banned from the Jinhua Palace, but the exchange of information was not hindered.

Moreover, Lin Zhaoyi has been favored in the harem for so many years. In addition to relying on the name of her mother-in-law, she is also naturally capable.

Therefore, he asked someone to deliver the letter to Lin Zhaoyi, explained the reason, and asked her to pass the secret letter to Liu Yun.

And why should Lin Zhaoyi help him? Just by his oath, if he succeeds, he will definitely welcome the emperor's sister out of the palace in all her glory and make her the noble eldest princess!

He knew that Lin Zhaoyi would definitely agree, because she only had a daughter like Huang Jie.

If the emperor's brother is allowed to ascend the throne, then there is no doubt that the emperor's sister will have to stay in the palace and temple until her death!

Soon, he received a response from Lin Zhaoyi, which was just one sentence: "Bai'er, never break your promise."

At this time, the second prince mobilized his inner strength and immediately raised his voice and shouted:

"Brother Imperial, are you really going to kill your brother regardless of your father's life?"

"If this is true, even if you are not the one holding the knife, you can't get rid of the charge of murdering the king and killing the father!"

All civil and military officials hurriedly approached and saw that the person held hostage by the second prince with a knife was none other than Emperor Yong. Their faces turned pale with fear.

This, this, this... what the hell is going on!

Qiao Zhongguo saw Han Mingzhe with sharp eyes, and hurriedly walked towards him, asking quickly: "Old Han, why are you here?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Han Mingzhe hurriedly said: "Master Qiao, a eunuch from the palace came to the mansion to deliver the edict, saying that it was urgently summoned by the Holy One, and there was also a holy edict in hand. I changed into my official uniform and came right away."

"Finally, when I approached the palace gate, the imperial guards led me to Youtian Gate. When I arrived, I found that almost all the officials from the court and the central government were here."

"We were so worried that we didn't know why the Holy Spirit had called us, and we were led all the way to this place."

As Han Mingzhe said that, he saw Qiao Zhongguo's expression getting more and more ugly, and his expression changed accordingly!

"Could it be...could it be that someone is really pretending to pass on the imperial edict?"

Han Mingzhe never saw Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing on the way here, and he felt vaguely that something was wrong.

It's true that there were urgent summons for civil and military officials before, but why didn't they go to Chengtian Gate this time, but to Youtian Gate?

But if you think about it carefully, it is unbelievable no matter how you think about it, the Holy Emperor is in his prime, and now his status is stable. Falsely passing on the imperial edict is a major crime against the nine clans.

With such hesitation, they arrived here under the escort of the "Forest Guards", but they did not expect to witness such a shocking scene!
