Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.
Chapter 159 Princess
Qin Li was taken to Tianling Water Prison, and Emperor Qi Zhao immediately sent a team of people to Fengshui Town to investigate.
However, in the court early the next morning, Emperor Qi Zhao had a gloomy face and remained silent.
Last night, Qin Li, who had just been escorted to the prison, suddenly died in less than an hour.
It is a blatant murder and a complete provocation.
Feng Xili was kept in the palace by Emperor Qi Zhao, and no one knew what the two discussed in private.
All I know is that Emperor Qi Zhao opened the dragon vein this morning. This grand move will definitely be recorded in the history of Shangli Kingdom.
Qin Li died in a strange situation in prison. After an autopsy, the coroner concluded that she had been poisoned in advance and died at the appointed time. The source of the poison could not be found at all.
Among them, the prime minister's wife was also taken into custody. After all, it was she who proposed the blood test.
Regardless of whether she had good intentions but did something bad, or had other motives, the Prime Minister tried his best to protect her, and after Feng Xili learned about it, she went along with it and did not investigate further.
Emperor Qi Zhao had just recovered from a serious illness and had not taken care of state affairs for nearly half a month, but fortunately he had managed his subjects well before, and not many major events had accumulated in the past half month.
However, this time of danger, a rat hidden in the palace was caught.
"Bring the person up." He leaned sideways on the dragon throne, his calm eyes lowered, but in fact he was silently watching the reactions of the people below.
When the captain of the guards escorted a man into the hall, almost everyone was stunned.
But a trace of fear flashed in one person's eyes, and then quickly disappeared. Even the subconscious step back was slowly concealed by him.
The corners of Emperor Qi Zhao's mouth curled up slightly while he sat on the dragon throne. He rubbed his fingertips with the hand that supported his chin.
"Lord Mo, are you going to turn that man over, or are you going to take the blame yourself?"
Emperor Qi Zhao asked coldly, "I have done nothing wrong to you. Why did you attack me?"
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Mo Ling, who was kneeling, had an indifferent look on his face.
Since it was not his own fault, it must have been done for someone else. Mo Ling was the oldest minister in the court, and he was also the director of the Imperial Medical Service, which was more than enough for him to be a veteran of two dynasties.
There is no need for him to intervene in case of common illnesses. If he had been law-abiding, he could have spent his later years in peace in the palace. It is a pity that he is unable to enjoy his later years now.
"Since you only used drugs to make me sleepy and didn't actually poison me, I will allow you to stay in the palace temporarily and remove all your duties. You can leave the palace when you have figured it out."
The implication was that he would be placed under house arrest in the palace and no one was allowed to contact him.
Mo Ling immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
The ministers around him were all silent. As an imperial physician, he gave His Majesty drugs, and His Majesty only ordered him to be placed under house arrest?
The captain of the guards silently escorted Mo Ling away, and the entire hall suddenly became quieter.
"Recently, there's been a lot of buzz about my Princess Yuhe. Since you are all curious, let me formally introduce Princess Yuhe, also known as Princess Liyou Feng Xili."
Emperor Qi Zhao winked at Fude beside him. Fude took a deep breath and shouted in a thin voice, "Princess Xuanliyou, please come to see me!"
Feng Xili was wearing a light purple gauze dress, with her hair gently tied up and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally. The golden dragon pattern on her collar was fluorescent, and a soft smoke belt was tied around her slender waist. As she walked, a ring bell rang with bursts of pleasant "ding-ling" sounds.
It hadn't been long since her last official appearance, which was the day when the envoys from the State of Chu came to visit, but Feng Xili's temperament had changed drastically.
She walked to the front of the hall without looking around and knelt down to pay homage as a princess.
Emperor Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he immediately sat up straight.
This stinky girl!
He looked unhappy and said through gritted teeth: "Li You, please stand up and take a seat."
No one noticed Emperor Qi Zhao's little thoughts, and they were all thinking secretly in their hearts.
Yesterday's trial at the Dali Temple had already spread throughout Ya'an City. Wasn't that woman not actually the daughter of Princess Liyou?
The princess's biological mother is said to have passed away and there is no way to verify it. How did the princess become a princess?
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Princess Yuhe's biological mother has passed away many years ago, and her status as a princess is still under discussion."
A minister stepped forward and advised, why is the royal bloodline so confusing?
"Your Majesty, I second the motion." Another minister shouted, how could anyone become the princess of Shangli Kingdom?
There were also some people who didn't say anything but kept nodding their heads with expressions of deep agreement.
The person on the dragon throne snorted softly. Some people were really afraid of being considered dumb if they didn't speak.
"My dear ministers, do you think that the princess's biological mother is no longer around, and her biological father is also no longer around?" A cold question floated down from above, and the minister who had just seconded the motion felt his legs tremble instantly.
Yes! Your Majesty's bloodline can be verified by Your Majesty yourself!
"Your Majesty, your humble servant, your humble servant..." The two pale faces bent over to wipe the sweat, and stammered "your humble servant" for a long time but couldn't utter anything.
"The blood test is not reliable enough. To convince all my nobles, I specially summoned the dragon vein early this morning. The blood stone of our dynasty..."
The man on the dragon throne paused when he mentioned the "bloodline stone" and looked at the two "outspoken birds" in a very good mood, but their expressions suddenly changed.
He continued with a smile, "I have the most say. Since you, my dear ministers, have doubts, then let's all move to the dragon vein to bear witness!"
After saying that, Emperor Qi Zhao stood up and walked out first, followed by Princess Li You who was listening to the sound of "ding-ling-ling".
Longxuan Palace is located in the southeast of the imperial palace. On weekdays, the palace gate is only opened on grand festivals. But today, everyone can stop here just to verify the bloodline of His Majesty.
It was really a bit of an exaggeration, but no one dared to complain at this time.
It was obvious that Emperor Qi Zhao was establishing Feng Xili's authority. This princess was about to rise to a high position in the world, and no one could match her.
Emperor Qi Zhao led his ministers in bowing three times and kowtow nine times, then respectfully invited out a dragon head.
Every emperor of Shangli had a white jade dragon head, and the two eyes of the dragon head represented the emperor and empress respectively.
Emperor Qi Zhao had not yet appointed a queen, so only one of his dragon heads had its eye dotted, and the entire eye was red, while the other eye was still milky white.
As long as the queen is established, the person only needs to drop a few drops of blood on the longan. Within three days, the longan will turn red and will never fade.
As long as the two people are blood relatives, if they drop blood on it again, the dragon eye will light up to prove that the person who dropped the blood is related to the two people.
This also makes Shangli the country with the most sacred mountains and lakes among the four countries and five states.
Feng Xili looked at the white jade dragon head in front of her. This emperor's nephew was quite bold. She had only suggested to him whether he could use the title of "Princess Yuhe".
Unexpectedly, he agreed without even slamming the table, and said that this time he would make everyone convinced.
It’s also pitiful for the real Princess Yuhe. She was born deaf and dumb. Even if she lived in the royal family, she would be bullied to death.
It would be better to just follow Grandma Mi Jiang, at least Grandma really loves her.
He was in a trance for a moment, and when he looked up again, there was a silver needle in front of him.
She looked at Emperor Qi Zhao, and his eyes signaled that she could begin.
So, Feng Xili pricked her finger in front of everyone, and the bright red blood dripped onto the red dragon eye.
The next moment, a dazzling white light spread out in all directions. Everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes, and then they lost their vision in an instant.
A moment later, Emperor Qi Zhao stood quietly behind Feng Xili. The auras of the two were very similar, and it was obvious that they were from the same lineage.
"Your Highness, the Princess, may you live a thousand years!"
