Chapter 153 Dog-bite-dog
Su Yuheng didn't expect that the first person to take action against the identity of King Qi was the Queen.
Now, even if Liu Jinshu was not there, the King of Qi would not be able to escape being questioned by Emperor Showa.
Now it’s great to see the King of Qi and the Queen fighting each other.
"Empress, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The King of Qi was the first to get angry. He covered his chest and strode forward, looking coldly at the queen who was kneeling on the ground.
Then, he knelt down in front of Emperor Showa with a thud.
"Father, the Queen sent someone to the black market to buy secret medicine that not only poisoned my mother, but also poisoned Shen Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family."
"Now, regardless of the many people present slandering me, I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for my mother, Shen Wan, and me."
"If the people of the world knew that the mother of Dayan used vile means to poison the concubines and ministers, what would they say?"
"Where is the Great Yan royal family?"
"The Queen is the mother of a country and a role model for all women. Now she has done such a thing. How will the world discuss it? Could it be that she wants all women in the world to be as vicious as the Queen?"
"I also ask Father to severely punish the Queen!"
Emperor Showa sat on the edge of the bed with his brows tightly furrowed.
The queen knelt on the ground and sneered: "Jing Che has made me so embarrassed. I just doubted your identity."
"Then I ask you today, since you are Concubine Gao's son, why are you so resistant to cutting out her blood to save her? Is there something you're hiding? Or did you already know your identity?"
"Your Majesty!" The Queen looked at Emperor Showa.
"I have long doubted the identity of the King of Qi, but I have not made it clear out of concern for the dignity of the Great Yan royal family."
"I just wanted to ask someone to buy the secret medicine from the black market to verify it. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I will ask the Prince of Qi, Concubine Gao, and Your Majesty to test their relationship through blood tests."
"Whether he is of royal blood or the son of Concubine Gao, we will know after a test."
"The female doctor who delivered Concubine Gao had already revealed that she gave birth to a daughter. How could it be that she gave birth to a son for no apparent reason?"
"What's even stranger is that the female doctor died not long after she became ill. That's why I have to doubt it. Your Majesty, please believe me and let the Prince of Qi, Concubine Gao, and Your Majesty test their blood relationship!"
"Your Majesty, no!" Duke Gao hurried forward and knelt before Emperor Showa.
"Your Majesty, if the blood test between the Prince of Qi, Concubine Gao, and Your Majesty were truly carried out, not only would it create a rift between Your Majesty and the Prince of Qi, but more importantly, if this were to get out, how would the people of the world question the royal family?"
"When Concubine Gao gave birth, I was waiting outside the door. The midwife said it was a boy. How could there be any mention of a girl?"
"Right now, the border war is urgent, yet the Queen poisoned Concubine Gao at the envoys' banquet and even asked the Prince of Qi to cut his own blood to save Concubine Gao. I wonder what she's thinking?"
"Do you want to prevent the King of Qi from going to the border to fight, or do you want us to lose the border of Great Yan before you are satisfied?"
"I sincerely doubt the Empress's intentions. Could it be that she has long been colluding with the State of Qi?"
"Duke Gao, how dare you slander me like this without any evidence!" The Queen's face flushed red, and she looked up at Emperor Showa.
"Your Majesty, I think the Duke of Gao and the King of Qi are only making things worse!"
Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi stood aside and watched this wonderful show quietly.
Emperor Showa's face turned pale as he looked coldly at the three people below.
"Queen, let me ask you, since you sent people to the black market to buy secret medicine in order to test the identity of the King of Qi, why did you poison Shen Wan?"
"You were the one who organized the banquet in the Imperial Garden. Could it be that you wanted to take this opportunity to poison Shen Wan?"
For a moment, the queen froze.
She naturally suspected Su Yuheng's identity, so she poisoned Shen Wan.
But now Su Yuheng has not admitted it. If her identity is revealed publicly, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
“Your Majesty…”
"Speak!" Emperor Showa's voice was as cold as a pond.
The Queen trembled slightly and said, "I just..."
"Your Majesty." Just at this time, Doctor Zhang came into Chengxiang Palace with pills made from Ganoderma lucidum and Prince Qi's heart blood.
When the King of Qi saw Doctor Zhang come in, his hands tightened slightly and his body tensed up.
He and Duke Gao looked at each other and saw Doctor Zhang handing the pill to Emperor Showa.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's illness cannot be delayed. Please give her the medicine as soon as possible."
Emperor Showa took the water handed to him by the palace maid and gave the brown pill to Concubine Gao.
"What's the matter?" asked Doctor Zhang.
Emperor Zhaohe said coldly: "Noble Concubine Gao's body is still like this, a little cold."
"Impossible." Doctor Zhang frowned.
"I followed the steps in the medical book and mixed your Highness's heart blood with Ganoderma lucidum to make the pills. How could it be ineffective?"
"Could it be..." Imperial Doctor Zhang looked at King Qi.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi didn't take the blood from his heart?"
"No, when I was bandaging Your Highness just now, it was indeed on the heart."
Su Yuheng stood there, looking at the nervous expressions of King Qi and Duke Gao on the ground, and actually felt a little relieved in his heart.
She was feeling proud, but when she lowered her eyes, she saw the gaze of Emperor Showa looking at her.
"Princess Li, come and see what's going on."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Yuheng slowly walked to Concubine Gao's bed and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is not working."
"What did you say? How could it not work?"
Su Yuheng said, "I don't know either."
"However, I think I know that either there's something wrong with the Ganoderma lucidum, or it's this blood..."
Su Yuheng's words stopped at his lips.
"What's wrong with this blood?" asked Emperor Showa.
Su Yuheng said: "Or maybe there's something wrong with this blood."
"Your Majesty, I am not wrong." The queen said anxiously.
"I've been saying this before. The Prince of Qi is not Concubine Gao's son. If he were, how could this medicine be ineffective?"
"Father, don't listen to the Queen's nonsense!" The King of Qi was furious.
"If my son's blood doesn't work, then let's try my uncle's blood. If my uncle's blood doesn't work either, then it proves that the problem isn't with the blood, but with the Ganoderma lucidum."
Su Yuheng snorted coldly. The King of Qi was indeed very careful with his words.
Concubine Gao and Duke Gao are not biological siblings, so of course that's not possible.
Emperor Zhaohe said, "Duke Gao, please go to the inner room and get some blood first."
Duke Gao stood up from the ground and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After Duke Gao followed Doctor Zhang into the inner room to draw blood, Doctor Zhang hurried to the Imperial Hospital with the blood.
After about a quarter of an hour, he brought in the pills again.
Emperor Showa did the same thing as before, taking warm water and helping Concubine Gao take the pill.
But Concubine Gao's body was still surprisingly cold.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Duke Gao and Concubine Gao are siblings. Could it be that this isn't a matter of blood?"
