At this moment, Xie Qi was not moved at all by Lu Feiling's question.
His eyes were as sharp as swords, and he looked directly at Lu Feiling without fear, as if the person in front of him was not the almighty Emperor, but just an ordinary human being.
Then, Xie Qi's tone suddenly became serious, tinged with an unquestionable majesty. He asked loudly, "Your Majesty, do you believe that immortals really exist in this world?"
Lu Feiling couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He really couldn't understand why Xie Qi suddenly jumped to this topic.
Although there have always been many rumors and speculations about immortals among the people, they are ultimately just illusory legends. As the king of a country, how could he easily believe these strange and supernatural stories?
However, what happened next completely overturned his original understanding of himself and the world.
Xie Qi clapped his hands twice, and instantly, the fine wines in everyone's glasses and jugs on the table seemed to completely break free from the constraints of gravity and slowly rise up. Like nimble silver snakes, these wines and spirits snaked one after another, converging towards the center of the banquet.
Soon, they gradually condensed into a huge curtain of water. Everyone stared at this magical scene in astonishment, and before they could recover, they were shocked to see clear pictures suddenly appearing on the water curtain.
The first thing that came into view was the earth-shattering auspicious scene from heaven eighteen years ago. The scene that followed was extremely shocking to everyone present.
Because just as Xie Qi said before, the truth is so unbelievable.
In the video, two midwives are seen stealthily swapping the babies of the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager. Even more horrifying is that when Concubine Dowager Rong holds the Empress Dowager's child, she reaches out her hands without hesitation, and the next second, she brutally strangles the innocent baby's neck and tightens her grip.
Witnessing such a tragic scene, the Queen Mother felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and her whole body was shaking with extreme fear and despair.
She could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and screamed "Ah!" at the top of her lungs, as if by doing so she could stop this terrible tragedy from happening.
But unfortunately, the child in the water curtain had stopped breathing.
"Bitch! I've always treated you well, like a sister, yet you're so cruel as to harm my child!" The Queen Mother stood up in a rage. She rushed to Concubine Rong, raised her hand, and slapped her with all her might.
There was a crisp "snap" sound, and a bright red palm print instantly appeared on Concubine Rong's cheek. This sudden attack caught Concubine Rong off guard, and her body involuntarily tilted to the side.
The carefully combed bun on her head became disheveled because of the powerful impact, and a few strands of hair hung on both sides of her face, making her look extremely disheveled.
At this moment, Concubine Rong was so frightened that her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. She stared at the Queen Mother with wide eyes in horror, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
She slumped down in the chair, as if she had lost her soul. She knew in her heart that she was finished.
Lu Yinjiu, who had been standing by and witnessed all this, hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother's side, grabbed her sleeve, and pleaded in a tearful voice, "Mother... I..."
However, the Queen Mother was immersed in the grief of losing her son at this time and had no time to care about Lu Yinjiu.
She suddenly shook off Lu Yinjiu's hand and yelled hysterically: "Don't call me mother! I'm not your mother! My child is dead... dead..."
After saying this, the Queen Mother covered her face with her hands, tears streaming from between her fingers like a flood.
At the same time, Lu Feiling frowned, glanced sharply at everyone present, and then shouted loudly: "Eunuch Li!"
As the emperor called out, Eunuch Li, who had been waiting outside the palace, immediately came in and bowed.
The Emperor waved his hand and coldly ordered, "Pass on my order. Take Concubine Rong and Lu Yinjiu away and await punishment!"
At this moment, Xie Qi didn't care that he had turned the banquet upside down, and just leisurely ate cakes with Lu Xing.
Although Concubine Rong was reborn, in Xie Qi's eyes, she was just an extremely stupid person and posed no threat at all.
Even if all the witnesses were dead, so what? The image conjured by 948 was enough to bring the events of that year back to life before everyone's eyes.
After Concubine Rong and Lu Yinjiu were escorted away by the guards, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became suffocatingly solemn. The ministers and their families were especially worried. Seeing the emperor's furious expression, they were all bewildered and at a loss as to what to do.
They even wanted to leave this Shura field immediately, and they would have no choice but to sit there and do nothing until the emperor gave the order.
At this moment, Lu Jing helped the Queen Mother sit on the chair, and then comforted her: "Don't be sad, mother, your ninth brother...he may not be dead."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he looked up at Lu Feiling, then winked at Xie Qi and the others.
Lu Feiling also knew what Lu Jing meant. After all, they had both seen Lu Xingze's face. At that time, they were just confused about his resemblance to the empress dowager.
But after Xie Qi revealed these truths, they all felt that the person next to Xie Qi was most likely their ninth brother.
So Lu Feiling looked at Xie Qi and said, "My ninth brother is not dead, right? Or your husband is the Ninth Prince."
