Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Hearing the words 'son of King Jin'.

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone has always thought that the emperor wanted Lu Bozhou to enter the Eastern Palace, so everyone rejected it from the bottom of their hearts.

result……

It turned out to be about finding a son for Prince Jin?

The Prince of Jin has no sons but two daughters. He is already forty years old and should have retired to old age. It is indeed miserable for him to have no children or grandchildren.

The title of prince is hereditary.

If the Prince of Jin has no son, there will be no one to inherit the title of prince.

Not only did all the important ministers breathe a sigh of relief, but even the imperial censors who had been holding their breath and were ready to fight to the death and not let Lu Bozhou, a commoner prince, return to the palace, calmed down.

There is no reason to fight with the emperor over the issue of Prince Jin recognizing his son.

Why are people trying so hard to stop King Jin from recognizing his son?

Only Yin Zhihai glanced behind the screen and quickly lowered his head.

Li Jinglan felt a hand on her shoulder, trembling slightly.

She raised her hand to support him, then turned around and looked at Lu Bozhou.

Lu Bozhou nodded almost imperceptibly.

After a moment, the emperor's majestic voice came from behind the screen, "Ze Mei, is it the prince's child?"

Ma Duzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is a 90% chance of that happening."

"Actually?" The emperor paused when he said this, "...is it my brother's child?"

The emperor paused for a moment and said, "However, these are not enough to prove Zemei's background. I ask you, where is the swaddling clothes that Lu Jingzu brought back the child?"

"I haven't found it yet." Ma Duzhi glanced at Lu Bozhou, then bowed towards the screen, "I ask Your Majesty to order me to search the Lu family in Xishui Village."

The emperor asked again: "What if the swaddling clothes are lost?"

Ma Duzhi thought for a moment and said, "I have another idea. I would like to ask the King of Jin and Lu Xiuzhu to do a blood test to prove their relationship."

They were all ministers who had risen from the grassroots level and had served as county magistrates and prefects. They had all tried cases and had their blood tested.

Everyone knows what's going on.

All people's blood is miscible.

Human and animal blood can also mix.

The so-called blood test to identify kinship is just to add a little legitimacy to Lu Bozhou's return.

The emperor asked from behind the screen: "What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Before anyone could react, Yin Zhihai bowed and saluted: "Prince Jin has lost his child for eighteen years. He has been traveling every year to look for his son. This is known to everyone in the court and the public."

"I think that if the blood is compatible, he should be allowed to return home and be raised by the King of Jin until his death."

Yin Zhihai agreed a little too quickly, and Lord Li immediately objected.

"A drop of blood alone is not enough to prove the relationship between Lu Xiuzhuan and the King of Jin. The royal bloodline cannot be mixed. Sufficient evidence is required."

Although Lord Li opposed it, he simply believed that the blood test was not legal enough.

But he didn't say anything about Lu Bozhou's return to Prince Jin's Mansion.

There is also a prince in the court.

Although the prince is in poor health, he is still the prince.

Since the emperor is not planning to replace the crown prince with Lu Bozhou, there is no need to make a big fuss.

At worst, if the prince has no son, he can just adopt Lu Bozhou’s son.

"Li Aiqing is right."

The emperor slowly walked out from behind the screen and sat on the chair behind the three officials.

sit down.

"It's rare for the three courts to hold a hearing. I also want to handle an internal matter here."

The emperor stared at everyone.

"A month ago, Gao Daxi reported to me that he suspected Li was pregnant."

"The next day, Gao Daxi invited Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital to take Li's pulse. This is the result..."

The emperor took the pulse diagnosis results out of his sleeve and slapped them on the table.

"After Imperial Physician Liu left, Gao Daxi invited three doctors from the public to check Li's pulse one after another, and all of them showed a positive pulse."

When the emperor said this, he slammed the gavel, and everyone in the hall was startled at the same time:

"After this incident, I remembered some old things."

"This year's imperial physicians in the dialysis department cannot diagnose a pregnancy pulse. Did the dialysis department 30 years ago also not know how to diagnose a pregnancy pulse?"

"Since this is a joint trial by the three courts, let's try this matter together with the incident that happened thirty years ago."

Immediately, someone brought Doctor Liu, who had no time to escape, to the hall.

The emperor looked at Doctor Liu coldly, "The royal bloodline cannot be mixed, but the royal bloodline cannot be harmed by anyone either."

"I must have a result! The three officials must give me an explanation!"

The emperor's words were like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of all the ministers.

Is someone using the Imperial Medical Office to harm the royal descendants?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed strange.

The emperor was in his fifties and had only one son, the crown prince.

The King of Jin also had only one son.

Some ministers also secretly glanced at Li Jinglan.

Why must Li Jinglan be asked to come to the three courts to try the case?

The emperor was telling all the ministers that Li Jinglan was pregnant.

The emperor stood up and looked at Doctor Liu who was kneeling on the ground: "If you tell the truth, I will only kill you. If you resist and conceal the truth, I will kill all your nine clans!"

The emperor raised his lips and said, "The Dali Temple should also keep a close eye on this man. Don't let him die in prison without confessing anything."

"If the Dali Temple cannot give me a result that satisfies me and convinces the people of the world, then I will find someone else to investigate for me."

After saying this, the emperor stood up and walked away from the long desk.

When he walked to Lu Bozhou's side, his voice was much kinder: "Ze Mei and Li will accompany me for a walk."

It was said that he was walking with the emperor, but in fact he was just walking with the emperor into the courtyard.

The emperor looked up at Ziwei in the Dali Temple in a daze.

After a while, he asked Lu Bozhou: "Do you know why crape myrtles are planted in the Dali Temple?"

Lu Bozhou replied, "Ziwei was originally the emperor's star. Because it was the source of political affairs, the Secretariat was also called Ziwei, and the officials were called Ziwei Lang. Later, the Secretariat was restructured and divided into three."

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "This place was originally the Zhongshu Province, and later it was used by the Dali Temple. The country's political affairs used to come from here."

"No flower lasts forever, politics is like this, and so are people. But this crape myrtle is different."

"Even if the courtyard changes and the government changes, Ziwei will always be here."

“The people are like this wall and the soil beneath the ground. The soil nourishes this crape myrtle, and the wall protects the crape myrtle from wind and snow.”

"The emperor is like the palace behind you, majestic and tall, but it cannot withstand attacks from water, fire, thunder and lightning."

"If there is a thunderbolt one day, the palace will burn down in an instant. Crape myrtle and soil can be regenerated forever, and the collapsed wall can be rebuilt."

"Only the temple is destroyed. Even if it is rebuilt, it will never be the same as before."

The emperor raised his hand and stroked the crape myrtle. "The crape myrtle planted in front of the palace can be used as an embellishment to make the palace look more beautiful, but you must not over-nourish the crape myrtle."

"If its roots grow wildly, they can overturn the temple and ruin it."

The emperor took his hand off Ziwei, slowly put it back behind his back, and turned to look at Lu Bozhou.

Smile.

"Go see Prince Jin, he's waiting for you."

Lu Bozhou bowed deeply to the emperor and said, "I'm leaving now."

When Li Jinglan was about to follow, the emperor suddenly said, "Li's pregnancy is a happy event for the royal family."

The emperor looked at Li Jinglan gently and said, "Go to the palace to see the queen and make her happy. I heard that your Xiaoyuer is smart and cute, and Zhongyu is young but very talented. Let them go to the palace to see the queen."

"It has been many years since the laughter of children has been heard in the palace, and the queen is lonely too."

Li Jinglan's heart skipped a beat.

She hid her emotions and saluted, "Yes."

"Go." The emperor waved his hand and turned to look at Ziwei.
