The emperor's assassins were arranged under the altar, so he stood on the altar all the time, because under his feet were assassins. As long as he gave an order, the person closest to the altar would be killed instantly, and the only people who could be close to the altar were high-ranking people like the Queen Mother and the Left Prime Minister. If they said something bad, then...

Even if you have great abilities, as long as people die, it doesn't matter, right?

It was a bit cruel, but the emperor made such an arrangement to prevent the queen mother from killing him. The emperor was also afraid of the queen mother's cruelty.

A queen dowager who has been deeply trapped in the harem for many years suddenly jumped out to make trouble. Yelu Zhong didn't believe that she was just coming out to cry and complain and curse people. He knew very well how cruel this woman was.

He felt something was not right as they had been able to live in peace for so many years. This was not the Empress Dowager Li he knew. She must have some killer trick up her sleeve. And with all his years of management, he believed that the ministers in the court would not be able to be manipulated by the Empress Dowager just by a few words. So, how could she deal with him?

Eunuch Xi told Qin Qiong that the emperor had already found out that the empress dowager's men were mainly lying in ambush on the outskirts, and there were only a limited number of people in the enclosure. At the same time, there was another piece of news, that is, someone with a strong bow might have entered the imperial city.

The hard bow was almost the most powerful weapon in the cold weapon era. Because it was too lethal, ordinary people could not own it. Moreover, even the imperial guards in the imperial city could not use it. The emperor was also on guard against the possibility that the queen mother and others would have this possibility. After all, the Li family had a great general with a large army.

However, because the angle was shooting upwards from the bottom of the mountain, it was easier for the people above to control it. Therefore, Qin Qiong fell down immediately when he heard the sound of the arrow and was able to dodge it in time. If it was shot from top to bottom, Qin Qiong would probably have been injured.

Now, the little prince is standing next to the stage with the empress dowager. It seems that the empress dowager has the upper hand in the situation, but the empress dowager and others have already used their biggest killer moves, while the emperor has not used them yet!

"My dear clan members! You can come up and take a look at the jade pendant on this child. This is the pure white jade pendant with a double phoenix playing with a lotus left by the Emperor Taizong, which the Emperor asked for when my Ah Ru entered the palace. The pink lotus on this jade is the only one in the world. Everyone, take a look and see if it is real!"

The Queen Mother pulled the young man and spoke loudly.

Naturally, no one dared to come up and check. After all, this was the Yelu family's own business. Whether they recognized it or not, what could these ministers say?

What does a jade pendant mean? The jade pendant had always been in the hands of the queen. Later, the queen was deposed, the prince died, and the jade disappeared. Its appearance at this time was just another reminder that the child of Queen Li was once named the prince. As for whether it was the young man in front of him...

"Hao'er he...Hao'er he..." The emperor on the stage was still in a daze.

"Of course you hope Hao'er is dead. You must also think Hao'er is dead, right? Humph!"

The Queen Mother sneered at the somewhat distraught Emperor on the stage.

"Because it was you! You were the one who did it, right?"

"No! ... I didn't, I didn't"

The emperor shouted in a somewhat frustrated tone.

"No? Then why did the child fall into a coma after returning from the back garden that day? Who gave him a piece of rice cake that day?"

"Haha... What a pity, that child is not Hao'er. When her mother got into trouble, I sent him away. The one that stayed was the fake one. I kept it just to protect you, a beast! You are a beast who can even kill your own flesh and blood!"

The Queen Mother loudly cursed at the Emperor on the stage.

"...I am a beast? I would harm my own child? What about you!"

The emperor was also annoyed by her scolding: "Feng'er! How did you kill him? How did he die? Do you dare to tell me? Tell me!"

The emperor was already in tears at this time, and he also shouted loudly.

Now, he also remembered the past, and everything came to his mind at once. When he saw a child who looked very much like himself and said that he was his son, his heart was in turmoil.

"Feng'er died in battle, didn't you say that?"

The Queen Mother sneered and replied, "I still remember that it was the Emperor himself who issued the decree, saying that I was brave and that I led the troops by example. He even conferred the title of King upon me posthumously. Now you are asking me about this? It seems that the Emperor is really confused. I am afraid that the disease is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that he will not recognize me anymore."

"You! Haha... am I confused? I'm afraid the Queen Mother is out of her mind. Do you think that by bringing a child and a jade pendant, you can make me and my relatives recognize this prince?"

"Of course not a jade pendant. Ladies and gentlemen, do you old ministers still remember that when Hao'er was just born, it was a difficult birth and the child was not well after birth. At that time, a master suggested that as long as the dragon veins were opened at the bottom of the child's feet, the child would get better."

The Queen Mother turned to the ministers and said, "However, how can the prince's body be harmed casually? Therefore, I finally made the decision and asked the master to burn seven scars on the sole of his left foot. It is called the Seven Stars Chart. Do you remember this?"

"I remember. Moreover, this is because the child is the Queen's legitimate son, and the palace also has a document on it. The Emperor only needs to summon him to take a look, and then compare it with the drawings left behind that year, and he will know the answer."

The left prime minister immediately stood up.

"Not only that, in order to protect you, Ah Ru recorded all the fingerprints of this child from childhood to when he was three years old in the palace documents. Everyone will know if the prince in front of them is the same child as before."

"What……"

"It's really the prince!"

“We naturally believe it.”

"God bless our Ming Dynasty! It turns out the prince is still alive!"

"Yes! Yes! The prince is still alive, it is a blessing for our Ming country!"

"...Prince..."

"How could this happen..."

"God..."

For a moment, the ministers below were in chaos again.

Qin Qiong ignored the reactions of the ministers below. She only stared at the emperor on the stage. At this time, Yelu Zhong was probably forced into a desperate situation. What would he do?

Now it seems that this prince is real. Obviously, the queen mother chose to endure it for the sake of this child. Now the child has grown up, and the emperor has no heir. Once this child appears, he can inherit the throne.

So, what about the emperor?

Will he acknowledge the child?

If he admitted it, it would be equivalent to admitting the Queen Mother's accusations against him. Any of the above crimes could make people question his current status.

What follows is that he will be forced to abdicate, even if he doesn’t want to. Then... he will lose everything.

So, what if he denies it?

But the child's identity will be proven soon. Judging from the Queen Mother's current appearance and the development of things, the child's identity is probably true.

Then, by then he might not only abdicate, but even lose his life.
