"Yuanbao! Take Concubine Xian's maid away for examination. I suspect there is something wrong with her identity."
"As you wish!"
Eunuch Yuanbao was overjoyed, for he knew that Concubine Xian was going to fall out of favor.
"No! Your Majesty! I guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no problem with my maidservant."
The frightened Concubine Xian tightly grasped the senior palace maid beside her, refusing to let the guards take her away, and kept kowtowing to the emperor.
Seeing her in such a state of disgrace, Chu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and laughed “Hahaha!”
[The emperor's eyes are still very sharp, he found the problem so quickly. Take him down for examination! This man had his Adam's apple cut off by a butcher in order to enter the palace.]
The old Duke took a closer look at the senior palace maid who was being held tightly to the ground by Concubine Xian, and found that she indeed had no Adam's apple.
The emperor had never doubted the identity of the chief maidservant beside Concubine Xian because he didn't see her Adam's apple and thought she was a woman. He didn't expect that she was actually a man.
He stayed with Concubine Xian day and night, and even gave birth to the fifth princess.
The virtuous concubine is so bold.
"Drag him away."
The emperor ignored Concubine Xian's tears and waved his hand to let the guards drag her out of the imperial study. As soon as she was taken away, Concubine Xian knew that her death was imminent.
Before Prince Duan had done what he had asked her to do, she had revealed her true colors. What had gone wrong? She had been hiding well, so why had her identity suddenly been exposed?
[The identity of Concubine Xian is not simple! She is the daughter of Nanyun State Secretary Hamerzhan and a Han woman. Prince Duan has close contacts with the people of Nanyun State, waiting for an opportunity to steal the country. ]
The emperor frowned slightly, his face looked cold, and the old duke was frightened, fearing that his granddaughter might accidentally anger him.
[That senior maid was Concubine Xian’s sweetheart, a slave in the tribe. Concubine Xian agreed to come to Dongsheng only on the condition that she bring her sweetheart with her.]
The emperor's face was as black as the ink on the table. Chu Xiaoxiao pretended not to see it. She picked up a pen and played with it in her hand.
The old Duke sat aside without saying a word, while the virtuous concubine fell to the ground and cried silently.
Eunuch Yuanbao came in to report and was about to whisper in the emperor's ear when he was stopped by the emperor, who raised his hand and motioned for him to speak in public.
The old Duke would definitely be able to hear Chu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so he didn't need to hide anything in front of the Chu family.
"Your Majesty! Concubine Xian's maid is a real man."
The emperor groaned and scolded the virtuous concubine on the ground: "Tell me, why is your chief maid a man?"
The virtuous concubine raised her head, her face full of tears, and she looked at death with indifference: "I have nothing to say."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian and ordered Eunuch Yuanbao: "Call your apprentice Xiaoxiangzi, and then tell someone to bring the fifth princess here."
When the Fifth Princess was mentioned, Concubine Xian was horrified. She looked at the Emperor in shock with her eyes wide open: "Don't bring her here. She is still young and cannot know these things."
"Humph! I will not keep this bastard you created to defile the palace."
Concubine Xian looked at the emperor in disbelief, wondering how he knew her daughter's identity. Wasn't she fine a few days ago? How come all her secrets were exposed at once?
Chu Xiaoxiao looked up at the majestic emperor, and felt sad for him.
[The emperor was quite smart, but he realized it a little late. The fifth princess has been cuckolded for several years. How pitiful!]
The emperor was slightly embarrassed: "......"
My dear! Can we not say anything? Please have mercy on me!
"Your Majesty! The Fifth Princess is your bloodline!"
The virtuous concubine gave birth to this daughter, who was only five years old. She was really reluctant to let her die with her, and insisted that the fifth princess was the emperor's daughter.
"Ha Lingling! Are you lying to me? The child is not mine?" The "head maid" of Concubine Xian, who was brought in by Eunuch Yuanbao, had an ugly expression on her face and asked sternly, "Didn't you say that the child is mine?"
Chu Xiaoxiao held a pen in her hand, pointed at him and yelled, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
[The child is yours. There is a mark of your family on the sole of your foot, but it was cruelly wiped away by Concubine Xian, leaving a burn scar.]
Old Duke: "......"
The virtuous concubine was so cruel that she even spared no effort to cover up the scandal, even her own daughter.
The emperor sneered, looking at the virtuous concubine and her lover on the ground: "The child is yours, no one will snatch it from you."
The small box brought the fifth princess in. The five-year-old fifth princess saluted the emperor properly. When she saw Chu Xiaoxiao being held by the emperor, her face was filled with displeasure.
Seeing his mother crying on the ground, he became even more unhappy.
Pointing at Chu Xiaoxiao, he asked, "Father! Who is she? Why did you hold her and not me?"
"How dare you!" The emperor stared at the Fifth Princess. The more he looked at her, the more he thought she looked like the adulterer of Concubine Xian. "Little box! The Fifth Princess is so arrogant and domineering. Slap her in the face twenty times."
[Hahaha! The emperor definitely did it on purpose. It's so funny. Using someone trained by the virtuous concubine to punish her daughter is interesting. I like it.]
The emperor saw that she was smiling happily, and his complexion became better.
Suddenly, the sound of slapping was heard in the imperial study. The Fifth Princess' cheeks were swollen and bloody.
The virtuous concubine and her lover tried to rush over to protect the fifth princess several times, but were caught by the guards summoned by Eunuch Yuanbao.
They were unable to move at all. Concubine Xian became furious and muttered something.
Suddenly, a golden centipede crawled out of her mouth. She spat it forward with force, and with a "puff" sound, it landed accurately on the desk in front of the emperor.
The centipede was about seven or eight inches long, golden red all over, and moved swiftly. It jumped up from the desk and flew towards the emperor's face.
Everyone in the imperial study gasped in shock. No one had expected that Concubine Xian had the ability to spit out centipedes from her mouth.
The old Duke stood up and rushed to rescue the emperor, but he was a little far away and was too late. However, he still stood up and rushed forward.
Eunuch Yuanbao also wanted to rush over, but he stood farther away, at the door. By the time he ran over, the centipede had already bitten the emperor.
The virtuous concubine was very proud and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Your Majesty! This is my life Gu. If you release our family of three, I will save your life. Otherwise, you can just wait to go to hell with us! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
[Birth Gu? If the centipede dies, won't you die too? ]
Chu Xiaoxiao held the emperor's hand, stood up tremblingly, reached out and grabbed the centipede less than a centimeter away from the emperor's face.
Then he squatted down, sat on the desk again, and shook the centipede in his hand vigorously.
Everyone was stunned.
emperor:"......"
No, my dear! That's a centipede, it's poisonous. How could you catch it? And you're shaking it hard? Aren't you afraid it will bite you?
The old Duke disregarded his image and etiquette and shouted at Chu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao! Let go, let go, it's a poisonous insect, it's extremely poisonous."
The emperor also hurriedly coaxed: "Xiaoxiao! Throw it away, it will bite people."
Chu Xiaoxiao seemed not to hear it and continued to shake the centipede, making a "crackling" sound.
[This is a great tonic! My grandfather was injured in battle in his early years. Soaking this in wine can cure rheumatism and relieve pain. It's a great thing.]
