Although the Sixth Prince was surprised that Princess Jing ran so fast and disappeared in a puff of smoke, he had no close relationship with this male princess who came halfway, and after learning that King Jing had not returned yet, the Sixth Prince could not control his inner pride. Even if there was a little confusion, he quickly let it go.
He did not try to contact his people again. It would be best if everything went according to plan. It was not wise to send a letter rashly.
At most, there would be a conclusion in the next two days.
The Sixth Prince walked to his tent with a sense of pride.
When he entered the tent, he saw Liang's face full of sorrow. The Sixth Prince felt unlucky. In the past, for the support of Liang's mother's family Dingbei Hou and for the child in Liang's belly, he had to coax Liang a lot. Liang was sensitive during pregnancy, and the Sixth Prince had been a little impatient for a long time, but now he was in a good mood and had a rare comfortable smile towards Liang.
"Rest early, don't be too tired." The Sixth Prince said gently.
Liang Suyun was overwhelmed by the favor. The Sixth Prince had been a little cold to her a month ago. Liang had a lot of troubles to say, and it was all because of her child. She knew that this baby was extremely important to the Sixth Prince. Before, the whole family, including herself, hoped that this baby would be a boy, but the imperial physician who diagnosed the pulse said it was a girl. Several imperial physicians said so in a row. After the Sixth Prince found out, although he did not blame her, he turned around and took two beautiful concubines. He told her frankly that he was at a critical juncture and must have a boy as soon as possible, which was also for the future.
She was dissatisfied, so Liang had no choice but to do so. Her mother-in-law, who had always supported her, actually supported the sixth prince and asked her to endure it. Liang's mood became more and more depressed day by day, and she had no place to talk about her worries. When she was not married, she was a lively girl, but after she got married, she became in a trance and would cry unconsciously. However, the sixth prince often went to the concubine's house, and only occasionally came to see her, so that he could appear affectionate in front of others.
Liang herself couldn't tell whether the sixth prince and her were compatible, but she felt envious when she saw how much Prince Jing, who was also the prince, loved Princess Jing.
It was rare for the Sixth Prince to talk and laugh this time, and Mrs. Liang sincerely hoped that such days could last longer.
Li Yu, King Jing, and Wang Xi took the children out far away. After they were sure that the Sixth Prince had not followed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Dabao is really unlucky this time!
Li Yu picked up Dabao with a smile. Dabao had stopped crying a long time ago. His eyes were as bright as black grapes. He tilted his head and looked at his father with a smile.
Li Yu was stunned. He always knew that Dabao was smarter than other children and could understand what adults said. Could it be that just now -
"Did Dabao do it on purpose?" Li Yu asked in a low voice with a smile on his face.
"He's bad!" Dabao pointed at the person in the distance with his plump little finger.
The Sixth Prince usually concealed himself well in front of others, and most people could not see through the Sixth Prince's heart. Because Dabao was extremely favored by the emperor, he was often taken to the Qianqing Palace and could always see the Sixth Prince paying respects to the emperor.
In front of the emperor, the Sixth Prince would not show anything, but when the emperor was not paying attention, the Sixth Prince looked at Dabao with a look as if it was poisoned. He treated Dabao as an ordinary child. He was less than one year old, so the Sixth Prince would never take it to heart and vented his disgust for the child.
But Dabao himself was not ordinary. Before he became a baby, he was a small fish for ten months. Fish develop faster than humans, and Dabao already knew a lot of things. The Sixth Prince looked at him with an unfriendly look, which made Dabao very uncomfortable and remembered the Sixth Prince's badness.
But Dabao was still a child after all. When he met a bad person who made him uneasy, he instinctively wanted to stay away from him. He cried hard just now because he wanted Fish Dad to stay away from the bad person.
Although it was an accident, Dabao was very happy to have finally protected Yu Daddy!
King Jing stretched out his palm and rubbed Dabao's head. Dabao's face was flushed with excitement. King Jing's father rubbed his head!
Li Yu also rewarded Dabao with a kiss, vowing to cover half of Dabao's face with saliva. Li Yu was kissing vigorously, and suddenly his eyes blurred. Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao came up, and their chubby little faces swayed in front of him.
Kisses are not a problem if they are few, but uneven!
"Everyone is good!"
Li Yu suppressed his laughter and kissed everyone one by one.
The family of six and Wang Xi quickly went to the dragon tent.
The emperor had been waiting for a long time. Seeing King Jing and Li Yu coming with the children, the emperor smiled and teased: "Are you finally relieved?"
The emperor was laughing at King Jing for begging him before, and King Jing silently accepted it.
Li Yu looked at the emperor and then at King Jing, extremely curious.
Although King Jing did not express his dissatisfaction, he put Dabao down.
The best smoother - Dabao hit the ground and immediately stepped forward with his short legs, walking crookedly towards the emperor.
The emperor didn't care about his son, but he was overjoyed to see his grandson, and immediately changed the subject: "Why do I feel that Dabao walks more steadily?"
Li Yu: "..."
Dabao really is not, Dabao really is not, Your Majesty, you just saw him a few hours ago, you are lying with your eyes open!
After going through untold hardships, Dabao finally walked in front of the emperor and grabbed the dragon robe's trouser legs. The emperor smiled and picked up Dabao.
With his chubby grandson in his arms, the emperor felt deep hatred for those who tried to scheme against his grandson.
If Prince Jing fell and the Eighth Prince was abandoned, who would be the next to benefit?
The emperor actually knew what was going on, but the other party had never revealed such a scheme in front of him - didn't this just mean that the other party was hiding it and had been pretending in front of him all these years?
He had to force the other party to take action and catch him on the spot, leaving him no chance of quibbling.
The emperor already had a thorough plan, but this plan required the cooperation of Prince Jing's family.
"Dabao, can you do Grandpa a favor?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Originally, it would only take an order, and the emperor was willing to explain it to Dabao in person.
Dabao blinked his eyes, and he found that adults liked to ask him for help.
Daddy Yu often said that, and Grandpa would say it too.
Dabao liked Daddy Yu and Grandpa, so he was naturally willing.
Dabao patted his chest and said, "Okay!"
The emperor's eyes were full of smiles, and he continued to tease him, "Is it okay if it hurts?"
Dabao wrinkled his chubby face. Daddy Yu had taught him that he should keep his word. Dabao was afraid of pain, but he couldn't regret it.
Dabao nodded courageously, "Okay."
Li Yu vaguely guessed that because this was the emperor's will, neither Li Yu nor King Jing could do anything.
Children born in the western frontier would inevitably attract gossip, and the emperor did it to completely shut up those who had ulterior motives.
He also knew that the emperor's so-called pain was not really that painful. But as the child's father, he was reluctant to let him go.
The emperor summoned the imperial physician, and Li Yu turned away reluctantly.
Prince Jing held him under his sleeve, and Li Yu pinched Prince Jing's hand fiercely as if to vent his anger, but Prince Jing did not even frown.
At the emperor's place, because he was worried that Dabao would be scared, the emperor personally held Dabao on his lap.
Steward Luo came to take blood, and the emperor stared at Steward Luo with cold eyes the whole time. Luo Ruisheng had been doing this job for so many years, and his fingers trembled slightly. He was even more nervous than Prince Jing on the emperor's lap.
Dabao said he was not afraid, but he was still afraid. He closed his eyes when he saw the needle tip.
Then his finger was hit, and Dabao felt that it was not bad from the bottom of his heart. It was much better than the pain in his mouth when he ate lychees greedily.
But when he opened his eyes and looked around, Dabao found that Yu's father's eyes were red, and his grandfather and father Jing Wang looked like they were going to hit someone.
Dabao: "..."
Manager Luo bravely asked: "Your Majesty, what about the other young masters?"
Although he knew that Manager Luo was just doing his routine work, Li Yu really wanted to kill someone.
The Baos were so scared when they saw their brother being injected with a needle that they dared not breathe.
The emperor was about to shake his head, and Dabao said anxiously: "Grandpa, I'll do it!" Dabao
knew that it would still hurt a little, and his brothers might not be able to bear it as much as Dabao. If Grandpa must use a needle, Dabao is willing to do it for his brother! Dabao
bravely stretched out another finger.
Emperor: "..."
The emperor's smile deepened: "Okay."
Luo Ruisheng was stunned. He didn't expect that this would work.
Dabao thought he was going to be stabbed again, and closed his eyes again in fear, but after waiting for a while, nothing happened. Eunuch Luo just caught a few more drops of blood from his finger.
The emperor asked for a bandage and bandaged Dabao himself, making it thick.
Taibao returned to Li Yu, who hugged Dabao lovingly. The other Baos stopped vying for Daddy Yu to hug them, and led by Sibao, they all blew air on Dabao's bandaged fingers.
The children thought that it wouldn't hurt if they blew air on them.
The emperor saw it all, and his heart softened for these children.
The emperor ordered Luo Ruisheng to invite the eighth prince.
On the day when Concubine Lu got into trouble, the Eighth Prince and the Seventh Prince lived in the same tent. There was a lot of noise at night, and the Eighth Prince felt it was noisy, but no one dared to tell him what happened. Since then, he has not been able to see his mother. Even the Seventh Prince, who usually cared about him, avoided him when he saw him. It was the Sixth Prince who kindly told him. When the Eighth Prince learned that his mother had been found to have an affair with a man outside, he was completely confused.
Although he was only seven years old, he knew what kind of crime this was. His mother had been urgently sent back to the palace, and the servants were pointing fingers behind her. The emperor asked for an interrogation, and the Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and agreed. Anyway, who he was, this was the only way to find out.
The emperor made preparations and ordered Luo Ruisheng to summon Prince Li, the princes, and several important ministers and clan elders to the dragon tent.
The emperor announced: "I have received a secret report from Prince Li that the royal bloodline is questionable. I have decided to use a secret method to verify it."
The emperor did not mention the letter of accusation, nor did he mention who the blood was to be verified. He only said that the blood of these people had been taken, and asked the imperial physician who knew the secret method to verify it as soon as possible.
The emperor's statement shocked the royal family and ministers. First, the emperor did not reveal whose bloodline was questionable. Second, the jade bottles that needed to be verified by the imperial physician had some strange marks on them, so no one could tell who they were.
This mark was actually Li Yu's tribute. After learning about the emperor's plan, Li Yu proposed to use the mark instead of the name. Only the emperor himself knew how the mark corresponded to the person.
The Sixth Prince was originally expecting the emperor to be furious after learning the result, but the emperor actually used such a method. The Sixth Prince had never expected it.
Generally, the imperial physician would take the blood and then verify it. The imperial physician actually knew who was being tested, but he didn't know about the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor was also wary of the imperial physician.
The most reliable way to falsify the royal bloodline is to bribe the imperial physician.
There were not many imperial physicians in this dynasty who knew the secret method. Because the mother of the Sixth Prince, Concubine Zhang, had saved the life of one of the imperial physicians named Pan in her early years, she was able to persuade the imperial physician Pan to help privately test the blood of the "young prince" taken from the Jingwang Mansion. It was also after the imperial physician Pan repeatedly assured him that the young prince was definitely not a member of the royal family that the Sixth Prince was able to fight this battle more smoothly.
It was an ironclad fact that the Jingwang prince was not a member of the royal family. Even the imperial physician didn't know who was who, so it was not a problem for him. But the Sixth Prince couldn't help but be suspicious as to why the Emperor made such an arrangement.
"Wang Xi, what should we do?"
The Sixth Prince looked around and saw Princess Jing holding the young prince with an "injured" finger, anxiously discussing countermeasures with Wang Xi.
The Emperor summoned all the other princes except the Second and Third Princes, but King Jing did not show up. It seemed that the Emperor was still holding King Jing, which made Princess Jing panic. The
Sixth Prince ordered the eunuch beside him to go and inquire. Princess Jing was very alert. The eunuch could not get too close, and only faintly heard the Princess say a few words such as "can't find" and "can't exchange".
The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment, knowing that Princess Jing was anxious. Princess Jing probably knew better than anyone where the young prince came from. He was not anxious about the emperor's arrangement, but was anxious about the bloodline of Prince Jing...
Therefore, the emperor's series of measures should be to guard against Prince Jing. He was still worried about the fear that Prince Jing would do something.
The Sixth Prince thought he had figured out the emperor, so he calmed down and waited for news.
On the other hand, Doctor Pan, who was helping the Sixth Prince, was a little anxious.
The royal bloodline must be carefully checked. Several doctors tested it separately and then checked it together. Doctor Pan suddenly found that all the blood was from the royal family!
Why was it different from the result the Sixth Prince wanted? Doctor Pan was dumbfounded.
It was related to the Sixth Prince's great cause. Doctor Pan had to send a message to the Sixth Prince no matter what at this time to confirm it.
