Doctor Pan waited and waited in an inconspicuous corner. He excused himself because he was not feeling well and could not stay for too long. He let out a pigeon with a cloth tied to its foot. Just when he was about to lose hope, a man dressed as a servant came to him.
"You are trying to save your life. Why are you looking for your master at this time?" The man scolded impatiently.
"I have something important to report!"
Doctor Pan realized who this person was and quickly told him the results of the blood test.
This was indeed a huge trouble. The man could not make a decision. He frowned and asked the doctor to wait and went to report.
Doctor Pan had no choice but to wait.
Fortunately, the Sixth Prince was in a small tent not far away. He would never run out to meet with Doctor Pan. Even if he was close, he would have asked his confidant to handle it for him. After learning about the situation at the doctor's office, the Sixth Prince was also shocked.
What's going on? Prince Jing's blood must have been taken, but why did the doctor get the result that there was no problem at all?
...It was Prince Jing, could it be that Prince Jing had already taken action in front?
Only this could explain it!
Prince Jing, it's Prince Jing again!
The Sixth Prince clenched his fist unconsciously. He was just a little bit short. If Prince Jing could get through this safely, the emperor would completely trust Prince Jing. He would not be able to use blood as an excuse. Once the young prince was recognized by the doctor, Prince Jing's position would only be more solid.
In order to make the emperor suspicious of the young prince, he had caught all the other princes in one fell swoop. He also laid a trap with Concubine Lu. If he hesitated any longer, everything he did would pave the way for Prince Jing.
It was his mistake. He didn't expect there would be such a possibility.
But it's not too late to get the news now.
He has been seeking wealth and honor in danger all his life. Why not this time?
Prince Jing can do something, why can't he? How can he be willing to admit defeat here! Since he
can't tell who is who, then just... let all the blood tests fail, that's fine, right!
The blood of the eighth prince must be among them. He originally thought that this younger brother was miserable enough and didn't plan to harm him again. If he wants to blame someone, let the eighth prince blame Prince Jing.
The Sixth Prince had a fierce look on his face and said, "Let Doctor Pan do it as soon as possible."
Doctor Pan was overwhelmed after receiving the answer.
When he returned to the doctors, Doctor Pan had already thought of a way.
The secret method to verify the royal family is actually because the founding emperor of this dynasty once took a medicine called Qilin Gold.
This medicine does not seem special at first glance, but once taken, the blood will emit a faint golden light after encountering another herb called Longteng.
The founding emperor of the year used this to imply that he was destined to be the emperor, but he passed on the effect of Qilin Gold to his descendants.
Although it is said that each generation will be shallower than the previous one, the blood of the real royal family will still emit a golden light after encountering Longteng grass.
The secret method to verify the body of the royal family is Longteng grass.
Because the royal family wanted to keep this secret, the dragon grass had been destroyed by humans a long time ago, and only a few plants were left in the Imperial Hospital.
Doctor Pan knew about the dragon grass and had done a lot of research on it. He had a small bottle of medicine in his medical box. The medicine contained alum powder, which could destroy the effect of the dragon grass. He wanted to be prepared, but because he didn't know which blood the young prince had, he couldn't do anything.
Now that the Sixth Prince has ordered to change the results of everyone, he came up with a plan.
Doctor Pan dipped a silver needle in the medicine and fiddled with it casually, changing a "yes" result to "no".
Because it involved royal secrets, only a few doctors were busy in the tent, and there were guards outside the tent. Doctor Pan took advantage of no one's attention and quickly poured the medicine into all the bottles of blood.
After doing all this, Doctor Pan pretended that he had just finished the examination and began to check with the other doctors. Naturally, Doctor Pan had different results.
Doctor Pan said sternly: "We are working for the emperor. If we are not consistent, how can we present it to the emperor? Why not check it again?"
Although the other doctors were dissatisfied, what Doctor Pan said made some sense, and they finally agreed to check it again.
Watching the doctors re-testing his blood with added ingredients, Doctor Pan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally got it done.
Little did he know that all of this was seen by the person who was in charge of watching him behind the tent and recorded in the book.
This time, the imperial doctors got a result that was completely opposite to the last time. The people the emperor asked them to test were not of royal blood at all.
This result was quite shocking. The imperial doctors checked it several times again and also checked the Longteng grass used, but there was no problem.
Imperial Doctor Pan pretended to sigh and said, "If it hadn't been re-tested, I'm afraid someone would have deceived the emperor."
The imperial doctors didn't find anything unusual, so they had to present such a weird conclusion.
The princes, clan members, and Prince Li who had been waiting in the dragon tent all looked unhappy when they heard the news. The eighth prince was pale and staggered.
"Your Majesty, this..."
It was Prince Li who first proposed to have the test done. Prince Li himself did not expect that the youngest son of King Jing and the eighth prince were not of royal blood? What a sin!
The emperor's eyes were filled with thunder, and he said meaningfully and restrainedly: "Thanks to the imperial physician for this test, otherwise I would really be kept in the dark."
The Sixth Prince was moved when he heard this, and he did not forget to peek at the reaction of Princess Jing.
Li Yu had already knelt down at this time, hugging several children tightly and burying his face in the children's arms. The Sixth Prince could not see his expression, but he could clearly see that Princess Jing's hands were shaking.
This must be because the matter was exposed and she was afraid.
The Sixth Prince was quite proud, but he still followed the crowd to ask the emperor to calm down.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "This matter must be explained."
As soon as the words fell, two teams of front guards rushed into the tent. However, they did not take away Princess Jing and several fake sons of King Jing as the Sixth Prince imagined, but dragged out Doctor Pan.
The ministers and Prince Li were stunned. Impersonating the royal family was a serious crime. They thought that the emperor would punish the relevant people and there would be a bloody storm. However, they never thought that the emperor would first take the seemingly unrelated doctor as the first person to be operated on!
Doctor Pan was frightened by the ferocious guards. His first thought was, could it be that the emperor had discovered what he had done?
But no one in the tent noticed him at the time, so how could the emperor know?
Doctor Pan said with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, what have I done wrong..."
Before he finished the last word, the emperor sneered, and a guard threw a secret report in Doctor Pan's face. Another guard opened his medical box and found the bottle of medicine accurately. There
was still some residue in the bottle. Doctor Pan did not deal with this bottle in time, and he thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he always carried it with him.
The emperor ordered other doctors to look at the bottle of medicine first, and then look at the blood they used for testing.
After smelling and looking at it carefully, the doctors were all very angry. They thought that it must contain alum. The medicinal properties of alum and Longteng grass are incompatible, which will greatly undermine the accuracy of the secret method.
No wonder, except for Imperial Physician Pan, they all concluded that they were members of the royal family the first time. But after Imperial Physician Pan suggested a re-examination, none of them were.
Imperial Physician Pan clearly framed someone on purpose!
It turned out that the result just now was false -
the imperial physicians all changed their words, fearing that the emperor would hold them responsible.
The ministers and Prince Li had not yet recovered from the last shock, and they were shocked again.
The Eighth Prince looked at the emperor with admiration and gratitude. If it were not for the emperor, he might have been wrongly accused.
The Sixth Prince's face suddenly changed when the emperor ordered people to arrest Imperial Physician Pan, but the whole thing changed too quickly. Before he could figure out the key, the guards in front of him picked out an unremarkable servant from the crowd.
- It was the servant he sent to contact Imperial Physician Pan urgently!
The cold sweat on the Sixth Prince's forehead flowed into his eyes, and his vision suddenly blurred.
"Who is this man?" The emperor asked indifferently. The Sixth Prince did not dare to move, nor did he dare to say a word. He felt that the emperor's eyes were on him. If he said one more word, the emperor would definitely arrest him! He could not think about it anymore. He could only protect himself. This trusted servant was originally a distant relative of his mother Zhang's family. He had already controlled all the other party's family members in his hands. This person would never betray him. If something happened, he would take all the blame. I am afraid that after Doctor Pan is caught, he will confess him. But as long as he does not admit it, there is only Doctor Pan, and the emperor cannot do anything to him. Because he often uses letters to calculate others, he has never exchanged letters with Doctor Pan, only word of mouth. The same is true between him and his confidants. As long as he refuses to give in, just like the previous bribery case, even if the emperor is angry, he cannot punish this prince based on one side of the story. At most, he was found to have a master-servant relationship with his confidant, but so what? He was still just deceived by his subordinates and didn't know the truth! The emperor arrested Doctor Pan and a servant at once. Many people present, including Prince Li, were puzzled. Prince Li bravely asked, "Your Majesty, what did this man do?" The emperor glanced at the Sixth Prince, but before he could answer, Dabao, who had been held in Li Yu's arms, couldn't help but raise his chubby hands. "Grandpa!" Dabao knew the answer to this question! ! The emperor still gave Dabao face and ordered Li Yu to carry Dabao up. Li Yu persuaded the King of Jing to let him bring Dabao out to act, but Dabao actually wanted to add more scenes in the middle of the play, and the emperor agreed! What else could Li Yu do but cooperate? The emperor held Dabao in his arms, and Dabao looked curiously at the crowd of people below, not afraid of strangers at all. The emperor was very satisfied with Dabao's courage and teased him, "Dabao, what do you want to say?" Dabao pointed at the man escorted by the guards and said crisply, "Grandpa, he is bad!" Prince Li was shocked. He had seen many people complaining, but he had never seen such a complaint! I knew that the young prince of King Jing was favored, but I didn't expect that he was so favored that he dared to speak directly in front of the prince! And the emperor... Prince Li secretly glanced at the emperor's reaction, and the emperor actually... laughed. "Does Dabao know him?" asked the emperor. Of course Dabao recognized him. This was the bad guy who had sneaked into his room last time and was remembered by him! Dabao handed over his hand, which was wrapped thickly, and said aggrievedly: "He, pierced, pierced." Li Yu: "..." Thanks to Dabao, Li Yu also recognized this man. He was powerless to complain in his heart, son, wake up quickly. Although this man threatened the wet nurse and sneaked into the palace, your hand was not pierced by this man! Li Yu thought that he had played the two roles of the desperate princess and the worried princess very well, but compared with Dabao's pitiful and resentful eyes, it was simply a waste. The emperor was the most susceptible to Dabao's tricks. He had an amazing understanding of Dabao's words and actions. He quickly thought of the King of Jing's mention that someone had sneaked into the King of Jing's mansion to take the young prince's blood. It must have been Dabao who saw it and remembered it. The emperor said, "Dabao is a witness. In addition, I have a special witness." The emperor said slowly, "At 3:00 p.m., Doctor Pan released the white pigeon to meet this person and told him that the results of the blood test were all royal family members. Then it was this person who passed the news to his master behind him." "Not long after, this person's master sent back a message asking Doctor Pan to try to change all the results." The emperor told the conversation between his confidant and Doctor Pan almost word for word. The Sixth Prince never thought that the emperor knew this, and he was confused for a while. How did the emperor know this? If he knew all this, could he have known that he was behind the scenes? But what can he do? When the emperor hasn't said anything yet, should he take the initiative to dismantle his own stage and admit everything? In any case, this is impossible. At Prince Li's place, he first heard that the Eighth Prince and the Prince of Jing were not from the royal family. He was as shocked as if struck by lightning. Now he learned from the emperor that someone actually instructed Dr. Pan to do it. Prince Li was shocked and found the key point: "Your Majesty, who instructed the doctor?" The emperor knew the conversation between the two minions so clearly, so he must know the person behind the scenes. However, the emperor did not answer, but remained silent for a cup of tea. During this period, the Sixth Prince felt like he was dancing on the edge of a knife, and his heart was about to burst out of his chest from time to time. Several times, he and the emperor looked into each other's eyes. Before the end, he forced himself to pretend that he knew nothing, but he didn't know that the cold sweat was pouring down and he couldn't stop it.
The emperor sighed heavily. He had actually been looking at the Sixth Prince, waiting for him to admit it himself.
This silence was the last chance for the Sixth Prince. If he admitted it, the emperor might not punish him too harshly.
But the Sixth Prince did not respond at all. The emperor finally lost his patience with this son.
"Tian Xiao." The emperor sternly called the Sixth Prince's name.
Almost everyone's eyes were on the Sixth Prince at this moment.
Mu Tianxiao closed his eyes, trying hard not to let his voice tremble with him: "Father..."
The emperor said, "After Doctor Pan left the tent, my guards have been following him."
"He released the pigeon, and the person behind the scenes was very smart. He didn't leave any letters or notes on the pigeon, because he had agreed with Doctor Pan that the pigeon itself was the signal of a meeting. But when the servant who delivered the message came to see Doctor Pan, the guards still followed him and found the real person behind the scenes."
"Tianxiao." said the emperor.
"When you were racking your brains to think of a countermeasure to frame King Jing and the Eighth Prince, I was just across the wall from you, and I heard you say that you wanted to make it
impossible for anyone to verify it." "This conspiracy was your idea, and I am the most special witness. The reason why I didn't expose you at the time was that I wanted to see how far you would go."
Mu Tianxiao felt that the whole world had become dark, and only the emperor in dragon robes was left in front of him.
How could it be, how could it be like this?
