last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

The emperor stood up stiffly, and half fell off the dragon chair.

The eunuch hurried to support him: "Your Majesty."

Lan Jiansu came to Li Xingxi's side and said softly to him, "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Xing smiled at him with his dirty face: "I'm not working hard, Big Brother Lan."

Fortunately, in an emergency just now, Li Xingxi listened to what Qing Lan Jiansu said to him during the chaos, and used his lightness kung fu to rush to Panxi Mountain to bring down the corpse before the people from Zilang Courtyard.Otherwise, if this corpse fell into the hands of Zilangyuan, it would be the real death without proof.

Lan Jiansu opened the wooden coffin, and a black and ugly withered corpse lay inside, with no trace of the former beauty.The bystanders all backed away in horror, and some forcibly held back the desire to vomit, covering their eyes and nose with their sleeves.

In the past, she was so envied and coveted by others, but now she is so cast aside and feared by others.

"...Is she really Qingsheng?" The emperor asked the eunuch to support him, his eyes fell on the corpse for a while, and then he closed it in pain.

He was so sentimental about the corpse of Empress Shunde, but Princess Minwen's corpse looked very embarrassed.

The queen said calmly: "There is no evidence to prove that she is Shunde. I suspect that you stole a corpse at random and talked nonsense here in order to get rid of the crime. Li Qing, you are so brave. , you actually conspired with your own son to deceive the emperor!"

She looked so calm, but spoke so passionately.It was hard to tell whether she was calm or agitated.Emotional control is very confusing.

Li Qing trembled with his thin bones: "I am not, I am not, I dare not."

Lan Jiansu said: "Why is the Empress so eager to deny it? Whether this corpse is the Empress Shunde or not, you will know if you verify it."

The queen said: "Prove it? How can you prove it with an unknown corpse? Are you using your demonic techniques to fool the emperor? Your demonic techniques can indeed confuse the real with the fake, but you can't hide it from my eyes."

Lan Jiansu said: "The emperor asked someone to bring a table, and then asked the imperial hospital to bring a knife to cut the skin. I don't have to do it myself, there is a way to prove that the corpse is the Shunde empress."

The queen tried her best to stop Lan Jiansu from doing anything that was not good for her, so she said: "You have so many tricks, how can I give you another chance to cheat? According to my opinion——"

The emperor resolutely interrupted her: "Stop arguing!"

After being stopped by the stern voice, the empress immediately fell silent.Following the slender eyebrows, he wrinkled displeasurely: "Your Majesty!"

The emperor ignored the empress' shouts, took a deep breath, and said to the palace with a little fatigue: "According to Suer's words, let's do it."

The eunuch sighed, and immediately went down and ordered someone to move the table and ask the imperial hospital to judge.

The judge of the Imperial Hospital came to the main hall with a toolbox, smelled the unusual smell in the hall, saw two corpses, one of them was Princess Minwen, he couldn't help but inhale the cold air into his lungs, and shivered twice, gray and white The beard trembled with him.

Lan Jiansu said: "Your Excellency, I have something to ask you."

The court judge of the Supreme Hospital saluted and said, "Second Young Master, it's okay to ask."

"15 years ago, you went out of the palace to treat Empress Shunde who lives in Roude Palace. At that time, Empress Shunde was pregnant with Liujia. And in the same month, she died in the sea of ​​fire, right?"

The court judged: "That's right. Before the empress of Shunde passed away, she was pregnant in July. On the third day after Weichen's diagnosis and treatment for the empress, the empress was buried in the sea of ​​fire."

Reminiscing about the past, the emperor looked sad and murmured: "Yes, at that time, I had an unborn emperor's son. The master came to see and said, this must be a prince. It is my prince... ...If he was born safely back then, he would be my third prince. And the third son should also be the fourth son."

"Your majesty, don't be sad." The eunuch wiped away tears for the emperor.

Lan Jiansu pointed to the corpse in the mahogany coffin and asked, "Do you think this corpse looks like Empress Shunde?"

The court judge carefully looked at the corpse, and said: "Forgive me for my ignorance and lack of knowledge, the corpse has reached such a state, I really can't see it."

The corner of the Queen's mouth curled into a smug smile.This expression is inadvertently revealed.

Lan Jiansu said calmly, "It doesn't matter. If you don't know, you just have to prove it. Now you listen to my advice and move this corpse to the table. Remember to wear gloves so that it doesn't get infected."

The court judge obeyed the sentence, put on gauze gloves on both hands, moved out the dead body, and placed it on the table covered with white cloth.Although everyone was disgusted by the dead body, they couldn't restrain their curiosity, and they all watched intently how the judge manipulated the dead body.

Lan Jiansu went on to say, "Now, please use the knife in the box to cut open the abdomen of the corpse."

The court judge paused, and said: "This... the dead are the most important. If she is really the empress of Shunde, wouldn't I have committed the crime I committed?" He glanced carefully at the emperor's face from the corner of his eye.

"What's hypocritical, doesn't Dafeng have the practice of autopsy? You just listen to him! No matter what the result is, I will forgive you!" The emperor is now holding his heart and twisting, and he doesn't care about these lies for a long time. .

The judge calmed down, burned the silver knife with a candle, and slowly cut open the slightly raised abdomen of the corpse.He wrinkled his face, listened to Lan Jiansu's words, and took out a small baby's corpse from his belly.

Everyone couldn't bear it any longer, and the sound of "vomit" rose from all directions.Some officials ran out of the hall directly, looking for a place to clear their stomachs.

Both the queen and the emperor opened their eyes wide, and the prince covered his mouth and nose in shock.

The baby's body was well protected in the mother's womb, so it wasn't too dry, and it still had the color of flesh and blood. It looked like a group of crimson sarcoma wrinkled together, and it looked extremely disgusting.The smell is also unspeakable.

"My lord, look at this child, how old is he?" Lan Jiansu asked.

The hand of the judge holding the baby was trembling: "According to... Yichen's experience, it seems to him that there should be July..."

The emperor's eyes turned red again, and he looked at the baby corpse in the judge's hand with heartache, his lips twitched uncontrollably.

The empress's face gradually became tense, turning blue and white: "Even if this corpse is really pregnant in July, how can you prove that the child in her belly is the emperor's dragon species? You can't prove that he is the emperor's dragon." If you don’t know it, you can’t say that the corpse is Shunde!”

"Good question." Lan Jiansu said, "Your Majesty is right. Regarding the matter of dragon species, we must not be careless."

Lan Jiansu walked up to the corpse, and said: "The "Biography of the Sages of Kuaiji" and "Jilu of Washing Injustice" both recorded the method of dripping the bone to test relatives. This method is also commonly used in Dafeng. Your majesty, if you want to Knowing whether this child is the prince or not requires a few drops of the emperor's blood."

This method learned from film and television dramas is actually unscientific, but Lan Jiansu is not really pursuing science at the moment, he just wants to expose the real culprit.Just taking advantage of the fact that ancient science is underdeveloped and easy to fool, makes the murderer's words untenable.

The pale emperor nodded.

Lan Jiansu asked the judge to cut open the baby's arm, exposing the white bones.The emperor stretched out his finger, and the court judge pierced his fingertip with a silver needle.

A few drops of blood dripped on the baby's bones, and without snapping a finger, it seeped in and melted into the bones.

In an instant, excitement, shock, grief, and all kinds of emotions rushed into the emperor's brain.His eyes turned black, his head was dizzy, his legs went limp, and he fell straight backward.The eunuch anxiously shouted "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" and grabbed his body firmly.

The emperor twitched and said, "He, he really is my prince..."

The queen half opened her lips, unable to speak a word.

This made Lan Jiansu surprised: "I thought that the empress would continue to say that this is just to prove that the child is a prince, and the mother can be any concubine, not necessarily the empress of Shunde. I didn't expect the empress to be so silent. Let me be at a loss."

The queen smiled coldly and said, "You always talk to me, Lan Jiansu, what do you mean? Do you think I am the real murderer?"

Lan Jiansu shook his head: "You're wrong, I don't think so, I'm sure. You are the murderer. It was you who killed the Empress Shunde with your accomplices in Roude Palace 15 years ago. You personally cut her heart with a knife, and your fingernails and the phoenix robe you threw away were all covered with her blood. It was you who killed her twice."

The queen froze on the phoenix seat, unable to utter a single sound.She has no fear.In the harem, she could kill whoever she wanted.Even if a minister is not pleasing to the eye, she can use the hand of her elder brother who is the head of Zilang Academy to frame that minister.There has never been a crime that can scare her.She was just surprised, surprised that Lan Jiansu knew even the details clearly.

"Lan Jiansu, don't be bloody. My mother's queen is definitely not such a person!" The prince didn't want to stand against Lan Jiansu again.But when his mother was involved, he had to confront Lan Jiansu.

"That day, Princess Minwen asked the nanny to carry her out of the palace to find Mistress Shunde to play with. When you killed Mistress Shunde, Princess Minwen hid in the attic and saw everything. Afterwards, everyone who knew the truth died, and only Princess Minwen returned. Alive." The reason why he sneaked into Shangshu Mansion to meet Princess Minwen was also explained at this moment.

The queen seized the last bit of composure, and argued: "You killed the princess, and you still want to frame me."

Lan Jiansu smiled softly, and asked the queen: "Queen, what do you think is the original name of this Empress Shunde?"

"You want Bengong to call out Shunde's ghost in person like Shi Yougong?" The queen raised her lips contemptuously, "But Bengong is not afraid, because it was not Bengong who killed her. If you insist on calling Only her name can prove her innocence, so why not call her by my name?"

The queen is confident.She believed that even if she called her name, Lan Jiansu would not be able to call out Yu Qingsheng's ghost.Even calling out is useless.Because the formation that suppressed Yu Qingsheng back then had already crippled her soul.What effect can a wisp of remnant soul disperse when the wind blows?

The Queen has made adequate preparations for a predictable day.

However, she knew in her heart that Lan Jiansu also had his plans.

"If the Empress wants to prove her innocence, she should not call the name of the Empress Shunde." Lan Jiansu said lightly, "You should call the name of Princess Zhenxian."

The queen's contemptuous expression gradually faded away.He was stunned gradually, this time, her hands finally couldn't help shaking.She lost her confidence and said: "Bengong, I don't remember her for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, you don't remember, I do." Lan Jiansu took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve, on which were written the words "Min Rou Shu", "I took advantage of the time when I just entered the palace to write her name on the paper." Come on. Empress Dowager just read the words accordingly."
