"Your Majesty, here comes the clear water. I personally watched Doctor Zou collapse."
Huang Pei whispered.
Emperor Yong stood up slowly and pointed to the jade case in front of him.
Huang Pei carefully placed the water bowl on the jade table, and everyone held their breath.
Qiao Zhongguo's heart was pounding, and at this moment, he seemed to have regained the tension of fighting on the battlefield.
After inciting the rebellion against Imperial Doctor Zou that day, he had a heart-to-heart chat with Imperial Doctor Zou for a long time. In the end... he even revealed to Imperial Doctor Zou the news that the second prince was actually the Holy Emperor's son!
There is no other way. The person manipulating this blood test is Dr. Zou. He must be clear of confusion and control the situation!
At that time, Doctor Zou looked shocked, held his hand and said:
"Lord Qiao, you... do you know what you are doing? If His Highness is the Holy Emperor's biological son, what you and I are doing can be treasonous and even... frame up the emperor's heir!"
He looked solemn and turned a deaf ear to Doctor Zou's words.
"Mr. Zou, I, Qiao Zhongguo, will bear this heinous crime. Heaven knows and earth knows this matter. From now on, Dr. Zou, if you ask for anything, I, Qiao Zhongguo, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
At that time, Dr. Zou let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.
"Who knew that I had already boarded the pirate ship! Who knew that the person in front of me was Qiao Zhongguo, who is famous all over the world!"
"Master Qiao, seeing that you are a hero in the hearts of the world, and seeing that the prince is truly benevolent, I will follow you all the way to the dark side!"
Then they carefully discussed the blood test method.
In the letter sent by Dalang, the secret of manipulation taught by Jiaojiao was written in detail. He and Erlang also tried it completely in front of Dr. Zou.
But at that time, he had made it clear to Imperial Physician Zou that the Second Prince was so intelligent that he would not easily believe it, and would even test him several times. The degree of this could only be controlled by Imperial Physician Zou himself!
Dr. Zou sighed three times in succession and shouted that he had sinned, but he still agreed.
Qiao Zhongguo knew that Dr. Zou was really a wonderful person, but this game was really dangerous!
Everyone involuntarily cast their gazes. Doctor Zou pretended to be confused and asked uneasily: "Your Majesty, I wonder if this person who is going to verify the marriage is..."
Huang Pei replied on behalf of Emperor Yong: "The ones to be tested are the Holy One and His Highness."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zou's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty! This, this, this...this method of blood test, Wei Chen just said that it is only 80% accurate. This royal bloodline cannot tolerate childishness, or...still... .....”
Emperor Yong's face darkened when he saw this, "Zou Qi, just tell me how to test it."
Zou Qi's old face looked like he was about to cry without tears. He stood up tremblingly and said timidly:
"Back...back to Your Majesty, as far as I know, this method of combining blood is to use a bowl of water to test two people. Each of the two people to be tested needs to drop a drop of blood from their fingertips into the water bowl. If the blood fuses, it will be a biological child. If not Rong, I’m afraid there’s doubt about the bloodline.”
"But blood is soluble in water after all, and will mix into a ball over time, so only the first few breaths can be done accurately, and that's about... that's about it."
Emperor Yong's eyebrows were gloomy, and he couldn't tell his thoughts clearly. He could only say coldly: "Test!"
At this time, the second prince came forward and bowed deeply to Emperor Yong.
"Father, I know that Dr. Zou is my father's personal physician, and Eunuch Huang is my father's most trusted person."
"But this situation is about the relationship between the father and the son, and it is about the life and death of the son. The son must not tolerate any confusion or calculation!"
"So, I'm requesting verification, otherwise no matter what the result is, I'm not willing to admit it!"
The second prince's words were reasonable and very strong, because at this time he was already more inclined to believe that he was the son of Emperor Yong!
When Qiao Zhongguo saw this scene, he secretly exclaimed: Sure enough!
As soon as the second prince came closer, Emperor Yong faintly smelled a strange smell.
His eyebrows suddenly jumped in surprise, and a heat rose in his chest. He responded without any hesitation.
"Second brother, how do you want to verify it?"
The second prince slowly turned his head, looked at the prince beside him, and said softly:
"The emperor's brother is also the son of his father. I am very envious that the emperor's brother has not been exposed to this rumor."
"Brother Imperial, I think you wouldn't mind coming along for the test, so that I can prove my innocence, right?"
The prince seemed to have expected this, and he stepped forward without changing his expression.
"nature."
The three most noble men in the Yong Dynasty stood together, and there was silence in the imperial study.
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at Zou Qi, who was hunched over, and said coldly: "How are the three of you going to test it?"
The muscles on Zou Qi's face twitched because he was too frightened, and he hurriedly said with a trembling voice:
"If three people want to test, they need two more bowls, one for the Holy Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, one for the Holy Lord and His Highness the Second Highness, and the last bowl can be used to test His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Highness. In this way, there should be no mistakes or omissions."
Emperor Yong nodded upon hearing this, "Then bring two more bowls of water!"
Zou Qi hurriedly turned around and went to the inner hall again, followed closely by Huang Pei. After a while, the two of them came out holding a bowl of water each.
Three bowls of water were lined up on the jade table. The second prince glanced over the three bowls and said solemnly:
"Father, can my son designate a water bowl dripping with blood?"
The prince took the initiative to take over the conversation and said calmly: "Second brother, whatever you want."
The second prince said in his heart that he was not nervous, but that was a lie.
He always thinks to the extreme when doing things, so he has already acquiesced that Dr. Zou is now Qiao Zhongguo's person.
In this case, the clear water in front of you must be tampered with!
Especially the first bowl is the most suspicious!
But he immediately pulled the emperor's brother into the water. If Dr. Zou had to adjust his countermeasures in time, which bowl would be without problems?
The second prince looked at the three bowls of water back and forth twice with a sinister look on his face, but he couldn't see any problems with his naked eyes.
After all, he still has the trump card left by his mother and concubine. He can afford this big gamble!
Thinking of this, the second prince stretched out his hand and pointed at the bowl of water that Huang Pei took out for the second time, which was the bowl on the far right.
When he made this move, he glanced quickly at Doctor Zou from the end of his eyes.
At this moment, he saw Doctor Zou's frown slightly loosen, extremely vaguely.
The second prince remained calm, turned his head to look at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, how about you test it with my brother first?"
The prince nodded without any unnecessary expression.
"Then let's get started."
Zou Qi hurriedly held up a cloth bag with many silver needles stuck on it for easy blood collection.
The second prince had made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He took the silver needle and stuck it directly on the tip of his left index finger.
After the blood seeped out, the second prince squeezed it gently, and a drop of blood fell into the bowl of water in the middle.
He smiled faintly at the prince and said, "Brother, I just thought of it and changed it to the second bowl."
The prince didn't say anything. He immediately took the silver needle, shook his head nonchalantly, and pricked the tip of his left index finger as well.
He squeezed slightly, and the blood fell into the second bowl of water.
At this moment, Emperor Yong's heart trembled slightly, and he pressed his hands on the edge of the case, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Huang Pei was so horrified that his teeth almost broke. He stood next to Emperor Yong, shaking his legs!
Qiao Zhongguo was not far away. At this time, he poked his head and was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
His eyes widened, and he could see clearly at this moment that the two drops of blood faintly rippled apart after falling into the water bowl, but in the end they were distinct and never merged!
