I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 276 Multiple Evidences
Hearing the words 'Emperor's Legacy', the heavy haze on the emperor's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a bloodless paleness. Before the former prince committed suicide in the mansion, he set a big fire on his face afterwards. They sent many cronies to search the ruins for a long time, but they didn't find any traces. They thought that the edict was burned in the fire, but they never expected that it would fall into Leng Yiqing's hands.

The Marquis of Huaiyang ignored the emperor's ashen expression, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "On the eve of the mutiny, I was at home with my wife who was about to give birth. Fortunately, after getting the news first, I wanted to send my cronies to give birth to my wife. The prince reported the letter, but found that the outside of the mansion was under the surveillance of spies."

The Marquis of Huaiyang couldn't help but look out of the palace, and looked towards the East Palace. Such sad eyes, as if the mourning and pain suppressed for many years, rushed to his heart in an instant, with long and deep power, "For I don't want to startle the snake, I can only hold back for the time being, just when I was frowning, my wife who happened to be in labor pain for a long time gave birth to a daughter, I thought that the first princess was about to give birth, and this child might be able to wake up at a critical moment. When Li Daitao became stiff, he put the child in a food box, and disguised himself as a servant of the good news to sneak out of the mansion. Sure enough, he hid it from everyone and sneaked into the former prince's mansion, and my poor daughter who was just born was also successful. It fooled everyone and saved Jue'er's life."

Speaking of this, the deep eyes of the Marquis of Huaiyang have sparkling tears. For so many years, in line with his loyalty to the former prince, he devoted himself to raising Leng Yuanxun. Because of this excellent son, the son of the Marquis of Huaiyang His prestige is increasing day by day, and he can be said to be a glorious ancestor, but all of this can't offset the fact that he gave up his own daughter.

Sitting at the banquet, Qu Lingxu couldn't help crying. She still remembered that in her last life, she read Ji Junxiang's "The Orphan of Zhao" when she had nothing to do. When she saw Cheng Ying abandoning her parents and children to save Zhao Wu, she still thought it was such a crazy thing. It will only appear in the script, and it will never happen in reality.

But by chance, she met.

How great and cruel is it to give up one's own flesh and blood to save other people's children?
It is conceivable that Qu Lingxu, who knew the inside story a long time ago, was so shocked. The shock of others can be imagined. In their view, this is completely inconceivable.

If it is in a different place, who can do it?

After a long silence, someone finally spoke weakly, but the tone was not very confident, "But... the last time Lord Hou had a blood test with Prince Leng in the hall, it turned out that they were the biological father and son."

This sentence is equivalent to asking everyone's doubts. Regarding this, the Marquis of Huaiyang was not in a hurry to speak, because Qu Lingxu had already said first: "It is clearly recorded in ancient medical books that if alum is placed in water, Even if they are not biological fathers and sons, they can be fused together, put clear oil in water, even if they are biological fathers and sons, they can't be fused together, you can check it out."

It's not that Qu Lingxu is too lazy to popularize ABO blood type knowledge to these dignitaries, it's just that such a scientific theory is too shocking for these ancients who have been educated in feudal superstition since they were young. It is better to use the words in "Biography".

Although none of the people present here have the talent to become a genius doctor, some people still know such little common sense that can be faked at critical times. Some older people who met the former prince in those years silently compared it with the cold in their minds. After comparing Yuan Xun's appearance, he couldn't help but believe him a little more.

Of course, the most important thing is that Marquis Huaiyang is resolute and upright, and has a high prestige both among officials and the common people, not to mention Chen Zhongshi, a learned scholar who can be called a contemporary sage, as evidence.

To say that there is still a little shortcoming in this matter, that is, Qu Lingxu married Leng Yuanxun, which made Chen Zhongshi and Leng Yuanxun become relatives. Although this is not a big deal, it still has some influence.

However, such an impact was insignificant in the face of the mountain of ironclad evidence. The next moment, Chen Zhongshi opened the brocade box he was carrying with him, and took out a bright yellow scroll from it.

Due to the long time, the scroll is no longer as bright as it used to be, but the two golden dragons on it are still lifelike. Slowly unfolding the scroll, it is written by the late emperor:

"It has been 36 years since I was honored by the first emperor and succeeded to Datong. Now the seas and rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful. The people are safe, and the nations are humble. The officials are clear and bright, and the monarchs and ministers are in harmony. Virtue is comparable to the ancestors, and the achievements are more hopeful for future generations. The Crown Prince Murong Gong has a noble character, and he is very humble to me. His strength cannot be taken away, and his heart cannot be moved by great confusion. Therefore, after a hundred years, I will be handed down to the crown prince Murong Gong. All princes should work together to be the new king. Important ministers Workers should support the prime minister wholeheartedly, and help the country together, this is my honor!"

Chen Zhongshi was very angry, and read out the words on the imperial edict word by word.

The jade seal used by the emperors of the Xia Dynasty was carved from a whole piece of high-quality mutton fat jade by Emperor Taizu when he founded the country. , there is absolutely no possibility of fraud.

Yuxi could not be faked, so it proved from the other side that this edict was indeed from the hands of the first emperor.

This……

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, I don't know who knelt down first, and then everyone knelt down in unison, "I will follow the late emperor's will, and dare not disobey it!"

The first emperor Wentao Wulue, famous all over the world, since he ascended the throne, broke the old rule, encouraged farming and mulberry, and even made two personal conquests by the emperor, and defeated the Northern Li army who tried to invade the northern territory. It is still praised by the people.

It can be said that the status of the mediocre and ruthless emperor in the hearts of officials is not one ten thousandth of that of the former emperor.

Seeing this scene, the emperor was so angry that he could only spit out a mouthful of old blood. He no longer cared about his image, stumbled down from the imperial steps, and rushed straight to snatch the imperial decree, shouting: "Nonsense! Nonsense!" Do you think that you can turn black and white and cover up the fact that you are trying to rebel by fabricating an imperial father's decree out of thin air!"

Qu Lingxu looked at the emperor indifferently. The man who took the country from his elder brother by himself, his mind was cold and vicious, but he had his own wisdom and wisdom. Unfortunately, in the years of sensuality, Those advantages have gradually disappeared, and what remains is only toughness and viciousness.

But for these two things to work, there is a very critical condition that power is supreme. When this objective condition is deprived, the emperor is pleasantly surprised to find that he has nothing.

As for Concubine Li, she was already frightened by the turn of events, her face paled, she just sat in her seat, not daring to say anything more.

"Although the people involved in the incident were almost killed by you, there are still one or two witnesses who survived by chance." Huaiyang Hou didn't make any distinctions, but raised his eyes to freeze in a corner of the crowd, "Zhao My lord, you are a well-deserved leader in examining handwriting and seals, please take a closer look."

The Master Zhao mentioned by the Marquis of Huaiyang is Zhao Dongji from the Ministry of Rites. He has been in the Ministry of Rites for a lifetime now, and he is upright and upright. He has never participated in any party struggles. Therefore, he is highly valued by the late emperor and is enthroned by the current emperor. Later, Zhao Dongji, who was the minister of the Ministry of Rites at that time, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites and was fully responsible for all matters related to the enthronement ceremony. However, the latter refused on the grounds of mediocrity, so he was demoted from office and only barely survived in the post of "walking".

Under the power, in order to save the lives of his relatives, he could not openly be an enemy of the emperor, so he could only use such a semi-retirement method to fulfill his loyalty, which is not without hardship.

Hearing the words of the Marquis of Huaiyang, Zhao Dongji went up in front of the crowd, took the imperial decree from Chen Zhongshi with both hands, and after reading it carefully, he paused word by word: "When the late emperor was alive, the subordinate officials often followed him. The imperial decree is still drafted by the lower officials, for the sake of solemnity, the late emperor wrote it with his own handwriting, and there will be absolutely no fakes."

Since Chen Dongji resigned the executive Marquis, he believed that there was injustice in what happened back then. Now that he has the opportunity to avenge the former prince, he is naturally willing to lend a helping hand.

After that, the Marquis of Huaiyang announced to the public the letter from the former prince. The Marquis of Huaiyang had been preparing for this moment for 20 years, so he was naturally fully prepared. Agree.

"The last prince's suicide note can only prove that he did have a child left alive, so how can he prove that this child is Leng Yuanxun?" Someone finally asked this last question.

In ancient times, there was no such high technology as paternity testing. Even if there was, the body of the first prince had been burned in the sea of ​​fire after committing suicide. It is absolutely impossible to test the relatives.

However, the good thing is that this is ancient times. Apart from the blood-drop method, which has no scientific basis, there is another corresponding method. This method is specially prepared for the deceased.

The so-called bone and blood method is to take the blood of the living person to be tested, and drip it on the bones of the deceased person who is related to him by blood. Dear.

This so-called 'method' thought up by some mentally handicapped person, in Qu Lingxu's view, is simply nonsense. People who have been dead for so many years have already aged bones. No matter whose blood, or even the blood of any species, As long as you drop it and wait for enough time, it can blend.

If you really regard this "method" as a standard, then you can really answer that sentence: All are brothers within the four seas.

Thinking of Leng Yuanxun's final hurdle to restore his orthodox identity, which was to open the imperial tomb and conduct a blood test with the late emperor's bones, Qu Lingxu couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say.
