Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

The imperial physicians rushed to the scene.

They were all taken aback by the situation at the scene, but they all tacitly chose to keep their mouths shut.

After some emergency rescue, Empress Dowager Deng woke up slowly.

The old emperor called eagerly: "Mother!"

Empress Dowager Deng closed her eyes again as if unwilling to face the reality, and remained silent.

The old emperor immediately said: "Hurry up and send the queen mother back, today's birthday banquet is over!"

How could Deng Yuchuan let him get what he wanted, he said immediately.

"Are the queen mother and the emperor trying to escape?"

The old emperor glared angrily: "I'm sitting upright, why run away?!"

Deng Yuchuan: "In that case, please ask the emperor to cooperate with the minister to verify that this charred corpse is the person who had an affair with the empress dowager back then. Although he died, his bones are still there. There is an ancient saying of blood test. This method can also be used on the bones. If the emperor is a legitimate descendant of the royal family, the blood will definitely not seep into the bones, but if the emperor and the charred corpse are father and son, the blood of the emperor will seep into the bones."

The old emperor flatly refused: "It's all nonsense! How can I listen to your order with my status? You don't want to confuse people with reasonable lies anymore!"

King Jia looked at the imperial physicians and asked curiously.

"Is the blood test true?"

The imperial physicians looked at each other, but none of them dared to answer.

Seeing this situation, what is there that everyone present does not understand?

The blood test should be true, but the imperial physicians dare not say it because of the power of the emperor.

King Jia pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his forearms, and said like a hero who sacrificed his life generously.

"The emperor's dragon body is noble, how can it be tested by others at will? Why don't you let me try it first to see if the theory of blood test is true or not."

After speaking, he picked up the small knife used to slice meat on the table, and lightly scratched his forearm.

The blood slowly overflowed and dripped into the bowl.

He handed the bowl containing blood to Deng Yuchuan.

Deng Yuchuan was also unambiguous, and immediately cut through the skin of the charred corpse with a knife, exposing the bones inside, and then slowly dripped the blood in front of everyone.

Viscous red blood fell on the bones, and then slid down the bones.

Only signs of integration.

Seeing this, King Jia said half-jokingly: "It seems that this king has no blood relationship with this charred corpse!"

Then he looked at the prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, and finally his eyes rested on the fourth prince.

Ever since he broke his head after drinking too much wine, the fourth prince has become a fool.

In order not to let him go outside to embarrass himself, the emperor forbids him to go out, so he can only stay in the prince's mansion all the time, which is no different from house arrest.

Today was the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the emperor wanted to have a family reunion, so he made an exception and had the fourth prince brought into the palace.

Seeing King Jia looking at the fourth prince at this time, the hearts of the old emperor and Shen Zhuo suddenly became suspended.

But anyone with a brain would not get involved in Deng Yuchuan's affairs at this time.

But the fourth prince is just a no-brainer.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard King Jia speak kindly.

"The emperor's dragon body is precious, so it's really not suitable for a blood test, but Deng Yuchuan's words are convincing, and he also brought evidence. If he can't give a clear explanation, it may tarnish the emperor's reputation. If it is more serious, it may shake the foundation of the country. The fourth prince has always been very filial, presumably the fourth prince will be happy to replace the emperor for a blood test, right?"

The fourth prince grinned and smiled foolishly: "Hey hey, okay."

Shen Zhuo immediately stopped him: "Fourth brother is in a special situation now, King Jia is the elder, why bother to bully him, an ignorant junior?"

King Jia took advantage of the situation to look at him: "The prince means that he is willing to set an example and test blood instead of the emperor? Actually, both of you are the emperor's own sons, and any of you can take the place of the emperor to do this test." , as long as you can tell everyone with actual proof that you have nothing to do with this charred corpse, then everything Deng Yuchuan said will be lies."

Then he looked at the civil and military officials present, and paused for a moment on those senior cabinet ministers, expressing his meaning.

"The orthodoxy of the royal family cannot be confused. Presumably you elders also want the truth, right?"

Several elders quietly exchanged glances.

After a long time, they spoke vaguely.

"Actually, it's not impossible to give it a try, just take it as an explanation to the world, so that no one will talk nonsense about it in the future."

The old emperor stared at King Jia.

Over the years, King Jia has been restless, collecting money to train soldiers in private, with big ambitions.

But because he was far away in the fiefdom, the old emperor didn't like to touch him.

This time, the old emperor used the reason of the empress dowager's birthday to recall King Jia back to Yujing, in order to take this opportunity to detain King Jia in the capital, prevent him from returning to the fiefdom, and then send someone else to take over his money and military strength. Elevate him.

Unexpectedly, before the old emperor could make a move, King Jia did it first.

Just now, the way King Jia and Deng Yuchuan sang together, it is obvious that they have passed their temper a long time ago.

There must have been a connection between the two in private.

Deng Yuchuan wanted to seek justice for his sister, while Jiawang wanted to take this opportunity to stab the old emperor.

Both sides can be regarded as what they need.

The old emperor was so angry that his heart ached, and his condition, which had improved, seemed to show signs of subjugation.

He endured the pain and tried his best to maintain calm.

The more you have to be calm at this time.

He was no longer the brat who just became the emperor back then. He has been in a high position for so many years, which made him understand many things.

The alliance between Deng Yuchuan and Jiawang is because of interests.

Then as long as greater benefits are given, the alliance between them will be cracked.

As long as there is no help from King Jia, Deng Yuchuan will have no choice but to support himself.

The Fourth Prince sat on the spot stupidly, allowing Wang Jia to roll up his sleeves.

When the knife cut through the flesh, the pain made the fourth prince struggle.

King Jia coaxed in a good voice: "It's all right, it'll be fine soon, wait for Tang Shu to give you candy."

Hearing that there were sweets to eat, the fourth prince's struggle became slightly smaller.

Taking advantage of this time, the old emperor called Shen Zhuo in front of him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shen Zhuo nodded after listening: "I understand."

He quietly left from the scene of the birthday banquet, and hurriedly went to Shang's study.

According to his father's instructions, he wrote an imperial decree and stamped it with the jade seal representing imperial power.

After finishing these, he folded the imperial decree and stuffed it into his sleeve.

When he rushed back to the birthday banquet, he happened to see King Jia handing the porcelain bowl filled with blood to Deng Yuchuan.

Shen Zhuo immediately whispered a few words to the little eunuch beside him, and handed over the imperial decree hidden in his sleeve.

After a while, the little eunuch walked up to King Jia with the tray, knelt down on his knees, lifted the tray above his head with both hands, and said respectfully.

"His Royal Highness King Jia's wound is still oozing blood, here are cloth and wound medicine, do you need a servant to bandage it for you?"
