"Bao Zheng! How dare you make such a big deal in private? Do you really care about the Emperor?!"

For a moment, Zhao Zhen only felt that his blood was surging and he could not stand still. He hurriedly supported the Yuan beside him and said sadly: "Could it be that I was too tolerant in the past, so that you allowed yourself to commit crimes repeatedly?!"

It's fine if the Khitan people don't respect him as the king. He can comfort himself by saying that he is a barbarian with no education and no morals, but now even Bao Zheng, who has always been known as loyal and upright, has become so aggressive. Is it true? Is it difficult to bear the prestige of a country because of your weak character?

Song Ci, who was still persuading the cheap mother, saw that the emperor was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, as if his blood vessels were about to burst at any time, so he hurried over and said, "Brother emperor, don't be angry. The woman, please come in."

First he took out a health-preserving hawthorn pill from his purse and gave it to Brother Cheap to eat, Song Cicai persuaded him with a pleasant face: "Tianyou thinks that instead of leaving that woman to spread rumors outside and bring the royal reputation, it is better to settle it once and for all." It will also avoid future troubles.”

After Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief under Chen Lin's service and gradually returned to her original normal expression, she continued: "Brother Huang, there is no need to make things difficult for Mr. Bao. If some people go to Kaifeng Mansion to complain, he, as the official in charge, will naturally accept it impartially. Since there have been people who have sued the emperor's family and relatives before, why is it so strange to sue the mad woman who is now the empress dowager?"

After Song Ci finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Zhao Zhen's anger had subsided a little, and the cheap mother stopped crying and wiping her eyes, and smiled quietly.

As a villain, he can speak for his opponent when the two confront each other, no matter what that Bao Heizi feels in his heart, after the dust settles, he will have no shame in speaking ill of her in front of Maoer.

After taking the calming pills, Zhao Zhen obviously felt much more relieved and said in a calm tone: "Since it's Yumei's idea, I should tell Brother Huang in advance."

"That's not because Tianyou was afraid that outsiders would be present and Mr. Bao would not be able to explain the case in detail, so he avoided suspicion and hid." Song Ci said with a smile as he retreated to Empress Dowager Liu and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Don't talk nonsense! If even the younger sister and the queen mother become outsiders, wouldn't I really become a loner in the eyes of all people!"

Only then did Zhao Zhen show a little smile, then turned his head and said solemnly to the important minister who had been kneeling in front of the imperial court: "Bao Qing, now that the princess is pleading for you, I will forgive you for the crime of contradicting you. But from now on, no matter what matters You must report the case of the royal family to me in time, and don't disturb the peace of the queen mother and sister-in-law again. Get up."

"The humble minister is guilty, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Bao Zheng paused for a moment, and saluted in the direction of the Queen Mother and her daughter: "Thank you Princess for your forgiveness, and thank you Queen Mother for your innocence."

Seeing the emperor's expression of not intending to get to the bottom of it, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sighed bitterly in his heart: "I thought that as long as I detailed the civet cat's replacement of the prince, the Queen Mother's party would be revealed, but I misjudged these two people." The weight in the emperor's heart. I regret that I should underestimate the enemy so much! Up to now, I can only take one step at a time."

At this moment, the eunuch guarding outside the hall suddenly reported loudly: "Kaifeng Mansion, the fourth-rank imperial guard Zhan Zhao with a knife, please see me!"

This high-pitched voice, like the timely rain, made Bao Zheng's expression brighten, "Your Majesty, since the guard Zhan has entered the palace, Concubine Li must accompany him. Since the princess and the queen mother don't care, why don't your majesty meet!"

"It's just nonsense, so why bother me, I might as well approve a few more memorials if I have the time."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said to Chen Lin: "Companion, let the guard Zhan retreat with that crazy woman."

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that the servant was about to lead the order to leave, Bao Zheng stepped forward to stop Chen Lin's footsteps, and remonstrated: "I heard that the nature of mother and child is orthodox, and it is definitely not for external force to interfere! If the concubine Li is not your majesty's mother, Don't touch His Majesty's defenses, why should His Majesty be afraid to see you! Or is it that His Majesty already has doubts in his heart, so he dare not meet?!"

"Bao Zheng! I have just forgiven your previous offense, and you are talking nonsense and nonsense again! Do you have to be cruel to punish you before you are willing to retreat!" Zhao Zhen's eyes couldn't help but rise when he was repeatedly bumped into the imperial court. There was a murderous aura.

"Your Majesty! It's not that I'm ungrateful, but that Concubine Li said that if she pretended to be the royal family, she would be willing to suffer the punishment of death by a thousand knives! Her words are convincing and there are tokens to prove it. It's about the safety of the country's mother. Do not report!"

Bao Zheng bowed again and said: "Besides, it was the princess who proposed to use the method of blood drop test to settle this matter before, so I sent guards to invite Concubine Li to enter the palace. When it comes to such important matters involving the state, Why should Your Majesty take pity on that drop of dragon blood!"

"Yi'er, you really did this matter?" Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help clasping her beloved daughter's hands, and said anxiously: "What if that crazy woman accidentally bumps into the emperor's son!"

Not only did the Empress Dowager's expression change drastically when she heard the method of proving marriage, even Guo Huai, who had been silent by her side, frowned slightly.

"Empress, this matter is up to the sons and ministers."

Song Ci patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "The truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true. If you don't let the old woman see the facts clearly, how can you make her go back to being blind and crazy?" What's more, if she is really my father's concubine in the early years, how can I let her suffer from hunger and cold outside, and let the world say that my Zhao family is ruthless!"

"Yi'er is right."

Empress Dowager Liu nodded slowly, "Since that's the case, emperor, you should announce the guards to see her, Ai's family also wants to see if the old woman who claims to be Concubine Li is an old friend. "

No matter who the visitor is, she will let people know that the inner palace is not so easy to enter.

"Mother, even you want to play around with Yumei?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't persuade him, seeing that his mother and sister were as determined as that Bao Heizi to accomplish this, so he had to put the blame on everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, "Come here, Xuan Zhanzhao will see you!"

After a while, the group of Empress Dowager Liu, who were staring at the door intently, saw the heroic guard in red walking quickly into the hall, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Zhan Zhao has met Your Majesty, long live my emperor !"

After he turned to the Empress Dowager and the princess to say goodbye, Zhao Zhen asked the old lady in civilian clothes who entered the palace with him but stood in the center with her chest up and her head held high: "Who is this, why don't you pay respects to the King?"

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this person is Concubine Li of Yuchen Palace whom Lord Bao asked Zhan to escort into the palace."

Seeing Shangguan standing next to him intact at this time, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and when he bowed his head to answer, he secretly looked at where the princess was.

Already harboring suspicions about this crazy woman who appeared indiscriminately, Zhao Zhen reprimanded him coldly: "Whether he is Concubine Li or Concubine Wang, since he has already met the saint, how can he not kneel?"

Without waiting for Bao Zheng to come out, the weather-stained old woman with hairpins and twigs but her arrogance could not be concealed slammed her cane, and said calmly and proudly: "If I am an old man, I am afraid that the people here will not be able to bear it!"

On the way here, Concubine Li Chen already knew about her current situation from Zhan Weiwei.

She didn't bring Mei Niang with her because life and death are unpredictable in today's move.If you recognize the emperor's son, mother and daughter will have a chance to meet each other in the future; if the sky doesn't obey people's wishes, you won't hurt your relatives after you are convicted.

Since this adventure is destined to be either death or life, why should she bow down a head in front of Concubine Liu, even if she dies, she will die dignifiedly.

"absurd!"

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Don't talk about the courtiers in the palace, just talk about how precious I am as the king of a country, and the queen mother is respected as the mother of a country, can't I bear your worship?!"

If it wasn't for his reason, he would have to ask why this old woman is not subject to the rules of the world. Could it be that she, like Yumei, is a god from the sky and came down to earth, so she thinks she is superior to others?

"Brother Huang, still can't see it?"

Song Ci took a step forward with a smile, carefully scrutinized this concubine Li who was a feud with his mother and daughter, "Since this old man has already called himself the mother of the country, how can he kneel down to others and lower his self-worth, let alone the world There is no reason for a mother to kneel to a child, if she bows down, wouldn't she be unable to justify herself?"

Concubine Li Chen suddenly felt an intoxicating fragrance hit her, she couldn't help but look sideways and said, "Who are you? Are you also a member of the Zhao clan?"

Before leaving the palace that day, she had never heard that the late emperor was born with another flesh and blood, but this person kept calling the emperor's son his elder brother, could it be...

"Who is this palace?"

Close to the blind old woman who was trying her best to find the trace of the visitor, Song Ci replied obediently: "I am the relative sister of His Majesty today, and also the daughter of the Empress Dowager Tianyou Diji."

"It's really you!"

Concubine Li Chen nodded slowly, and sighed: "Concubine Liu is such a good daughter! She not only robbed the old man's son and occupied the position of queen mother for more than 20 years, but even her daughter enjoys it according to the mother's price." So many years of glory and wealth. On the contrary, it is an old man who has survived the wind and rain and survived until now, but is regarded as a crazy woman by his long-awaited beloved son, who is too intrusive to even look at it, God is so unfair!"

"Bold and cunning woman! How can you allow your insults in front of the Queen Mother!"

Guo Huai took a step forward and scolded: "If the princess hadn't pleaded for mercy before, you and that Bao Zheng would have already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, so how can you say something crazy without evidence!"

"Without proof?"

Concubine Li Chen chased him blindly, staring straight at him with empty and numb eyes, and asked, "Guo Huai, Guo Huai, I dare not forget your kindness for a day! Today in this hall, in front of the emperor and the In front of the ancestors of the Zhao family, do you dare to swear to the sky that in Yuchen Palace that day, the old man really gave birth to a civet cat?!"

"Do you dare or not?!"

Facing Concubine Li Chen's pressing question, Guo Huai smiled coldly, "There is nothing our family dare not say!"

He immediately bowed his hands to the sky and said: "Our family witnessed the birth of a monster by Concubine Li in Yuchen Palace that day! If there is even half a false statement, Guo Huai is willing to be punished by five thunderbolts!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Empress Dowager Liu with an inexplicable expression in her eyes. This servant who had been infatuated for many years said silently in her heart: "Let Guo Huai alone bear all the guilt!"

Since Li Niangniang entered, Bao Zheng, who had been silently observing the expressions of Empress Dowager Liu's party members, said coldly: "Since Eunuch Guo said this, Bao Zheng also has a question!"

Guo Huai glanced lightly, "Oh, Mr. Bao also has something to say?"

Bao Zheng asked with piercing eyes: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, since the two concubines gave birth at the same time, how did my father-in-law, as the chief eunuch of the Jinhua Palace, be able to see Li Niangniang give birth to a monster?"

"Well," Guo Huai's complexion changed, and he immediately covered it up: "Everyone knows about such strange things, so why should we be there in person, even if we hear about it from other people afterwards, it can't be wrong, right?"

Water dripped from Bao Zheng's black face, and he said angrily: "Since I learned from other people, why did my father-in-law add the word 'saw it with my own eyes' when swearing? It is not true, so is my father-in-law really not afraid?" Is the oath fulfilled?!"

Guo Huai was startled, and suddenly felt a dense layer of cold sweat on his back. He was about to speak again, but was interrupted by someone.

"My lord Bao, the purpose of your face-to-face today is to do a blood test. Why did you choose to be in trouble with Eunuch Guo when it came to a critical moment? Could it be that even you have doubts about the old woman's words, which is why you kept pestering me for fear of being convicted of crimes?" No?"

Walking to the side of the imperial case, Song Ci said to Zhao Zhen, who was getting more and more angry: "Brother Huang, instead of wasting your tongue in vain, it's better to make a clear decision as soon as possible, and ask Brother Huang to make an order immediately!"

Hearing the words, Zhao Zhen thumped the imperial case hard, "If I do this, won't it tarnish the reputation of my mother?"

"Huanger, it is precisely for the sake of the Ai family's reputation that you must implement this method!"

Empress Dowager Liu stood up calmly and said: "Otherwise, in the future, everyone in the world will know about this matter, and the Ai family will become a vicious woman who robs her son."

"Mother!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother insisted on this, Zhao Zhen said with a heartbroken voice: "Bao Zheng! If it turns out after the relative inspection that this is all a false accusation by a mad woman, I will definitely find you, an accomplice, to settle it!"

"Chen Lin, bring the bowl!"

"Slave order!"

After a while, Chen Lin brought a tray and put it on the table, and everyone saw a white porcelain bowl with exactly the same color and pattern on the left and right inside.

Zhao Zhen first stared at the two empty bowls as if harboring deep hatred, and then poured out half a bowl of white water from each of the jade pots himself.

Then, Chen Lin respectfully handed over a silver needle that had been scorched on a candle, and Zhao Zhen only lightly touched his fingertips, and two round drops of blood dripped into the bowl.

"Your Majesty, please follow Bao Zheng."

Under Bao Zheng's guidance, Concubine Li Chen, who could not see things, and Empress Dowager Liu, who was calm, poured a drop of blood into a small bowl in front of them respectively.

At this point, all eyes in the hall were focused on the two porcelain bowls.

"Melted! Melted!"

Seeing the two drops of blood easily fused together after touching the bottom of the bowl, Chen Lin, who was uneasy, finally let go of the heart that was raised in his throat, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, the blood melts!" Already!"

Concubine Li Chen, who was waiting for the news, suddenly sank in her heart, "Bao Qing, who is he talking about? Is it the old man and the emperor?"

Bao Zheng was silent for a long time, until Empress Dowager Liu's master and servant laughed and said sadly: "Bao Zheng, I am ashamed of my empress..."

"How could this be, how could this be..."

Concubine Li Chen, who was on the verge of collapse, held on to her cane tightly, and cried with tears in her eyes: "Obviously the old man is the emperor's biological mother!"

20 years of hard waiting has brought about such an ending, is it really God's will?

At this time, the emperor, Empress Dowager Liu, mother and son, who were infinitely happy in their hearts, had long forgotten the crazy woman who tried to cling to the emperor's relatives, and they all cherished each other with tears in their eyes, and cherished every bit of friendship in the past.

Only Song Ci quietly walked to the stunned Concubine Li Chen, "Mr. Li, blood kinship cannot be faked, do you have anything else to say?"

"I have nothing to say, but as long as I live for a day, I will never give up my wish to find my son." Holding back her grief, Concubine Li Chen said slowly but firmly.

"You are so stubborn."

If Mrs. Li is willing to leave now, everyone will be happy.

But if she insisted on not changing her original intention, wouldn't she still have troubles all her life in the future, although according to Song Ci's original intention, she didn't want to be an enemy of Li Shi.

Thinking of this, Song Ci pointed out two fingers to Li Shi's eyes, and retracted his movement before Zhan Zhao could block it.

It might as well be that his fiancée wanted to hurt Li Niangniang in full view, Zhan Zhao asked anxiously in disbelief, "Princess, what do you mean?"

"Why do I have to tell you what I do!"

Taking a light look at the son-in-law who couldn't hide his sadness, Song Ci proudly said with his hands behind his back: "Mr. Li, it's up to you to decide whether to go or stay!"

Concubine Li Chen, who was so frightened by the finger just now, barely supported her body, and was about to angrily scold Tianyou Diji for her rude attack, but suddenly felt a gleam of light in front of her eyes, and even blurred shadows appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing her strange expression, Bao Zheng immediately asked cautiously, "But what's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Old man, old man actually..."

Concubine Li Chen opened her eyes wide and looked around until she found a bright yellow figure from behind, then she asked with a tearful smile: "Is that the emperor?"

Thinking of some kind of possibility, Bao Zheng couldn't help saying in shock: "Madam, could it be your eyes?!"

As if to confirm his guess, Concubine Li Chen turned her head and said, "Bao Qing, I'm sorry for your trouble this time."

At this moment, Concubine Li Chen's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and serene.

She stared at the emperor who was still expressing her admiration to Concubine Liu for a long time, until she had engraved the man's voice, face and smile into her bones, then slowly closed her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Medicine and medicine can't kill diseases, Buddhas are destined People. It’s because the fate between the old man and the Zhao family dynasty is too shallow, and he is no different from others..."

The author has something to say:

Song Ci: Concubine Li Chen takes the curtain call and bows.

How about drinking this glass of chrysanthemum wine~~

The following is the happy little theater

―――The hair-frying routine of the royal cat.

After the imperial duet, Mr. Mao, who felt that he had been stabbed and hurt his infatuated heart, started a one-sided cold war.

Yifang: Annoyed: "Princess, the son-in-law gave the lunch you carefully prepared to that greedy Zhao Hu!"

Song Ci: Calmly: "It's okay, keep sending it, I don't believe that he will never accept it."

Zhan Zhao: Ashamed and annoyed: "The princess has underestimated Zhan by saying this! Zhan will never accept him. You must know that Zhan doesn't get angry easily, and when he gets angry, he will be afraid!"

Zhao Hu: arrogantly: "Lord Zhan, my subordinates support you! How can a man have no temper at all and be held hostage by a woman casually! Even if you are facing the princess, you should let her know that your husband is the sky!" reason!"

After three days...

Zhao Hu: bursting into tears: "Lord Zhan, I beg you to make up with the princess quickly! If you continue to eat this box of lunch, holes in your mouth will rot!"

Yifang: Joyful: "It's what you deserve! Who told you not to eat spicy food and insisted on occupying the concubine's box lunch!"
