Xiao Langyan picked up Su Xincheng, grabbed her pillow, and sent the little one back to Shen Dingzhu's room.
The woman in the room had her long hair spread on the pillow and under the thin quilt, and her slim figure was looming. She was probably very tired and was sleeping soundly at the moment.
Even when Xiao Langyan put the child back to her, she didn't know. Su Xincheng closed her eyes, but as soon as she smelled her mother's breath, she immediately stretched out her little hand and moved it skillfully into Shen Dingzhu's arms.
Shen Dingzhu patted the child's back unconsciously, and then the mother and daughter breathed evenly.
Xiao Langyan covered the two of them with quilts by mistake. After doing this, he frowned, and his slender hands froze in the air, and he took them back after a moment.
He sat silently by the couch, looking at the mother and daughter, with a dark look in his thin eyes.
Is it possible that Su Xincheng is his child?
If Shen Dingzhu lied and Su Xincheng was actually four years old, then it would correspond to the joy she had during the Chinese medicine session four years ago.
Xiao Langyan was in a daze for a moment.
If Shen Dingzhu had stayed with him these four years, would he have allowed her to give birth to his own blood?
A peaceful night.
Before the sky was completely bright, Xiao Langyan re-entered the room, looked at Shen Dingzhu who was still sleeping soundly, put a sachet next to her pillow, and then took Su Xincheng out.
In the yard, Dr. Cen followed Chen Heng just in the frost and dew. He was still panting. He looked up and saw the child in Xiao Langyan's arms. His eyebrows jumped and he hurriedly knelt down.
"See the Emperor..."
"Get up, I just showed you Fang Suifeng's pulse. Is he an eunuch?"
Imperial Physician Cen cupped his hands and replied: "I checked his pulse and found that he has been weak for many years and is suffering from Yang deficiency. I also checked his penis and found that there is indeed an old wound, and the wound is at least five years old."
In this way, it is impossible to have a child of Su Xincheng's age with Shen Dingzhu.
Xiao Langyan's expression remained unchanged, and he pinched Su Xincheng's little face with his slender fingers. The little guy opened his mouth in his sleep, and Xiao Langyan asked Dr. Cen to step forward.
"Look how old she is."
Doctor Cen quickly stepped forward, looked at the child's teeth, then checked her hair, and finally touched her hand bones.
"No older than five, somewhere between three and four."
Xiao Langyan frowned and said in a sharp tone: "What I want to hear is not such an ambiguous answer. I want to know whether this child is of my bloodline!"
His voice was a little loud, which made Su Xincheng in his arms groan unhappily. He pulled Xiao Langyan's shoulders with his little hands, as if he was lying in his father's arms. After moving a few times, he fell asleep again.
Chen Heng and all the secret guards, including Imperial Physician Cen, did not dare to show their anger.
If this child is confirmed to be of the emperor's bloodline, then he will be the new emperor's first child! Crucial.
Imperial Physician Cen thought of a foolproof strategy: "If the Emperor wants to know, there is a way to confirm it."
"any solution?"
"Know your relatives with blood."
Xiao Langyan frowned: "This method has been around for a long time, and I have heard about it. However, some saints have also said that this method is not necessarily foolproof, and sometimes it is inaccurate."
Imperial Physician Cen said: "You can try this method first. If it doesn't work, there is another way to ensure it is to identify relatives by dripping bones. However, this requires exhuming the bones of the former emperor, which is a great treason and I am frightened."
Xiao Langyan's eyes darkened, and after a moment, he said to Chen Heng: "Prepare to acupuncture your wrists and drip blood immediately to identify your relatives."
The courtyard was small and dark and the response was: "Yes."
In the sky, a fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and together with the two stars, they faded brightly.
In another room, Xiao Langyan sat on a chair holding the sleeping Su Xincheng. After a while, Chen Heng came in with a bowl.
"I personally supervise the work in this humble position, and there will be no mistakes." Chen Heng reported.
Xiao Langyan nodded and stretched out his palm: "Acupuncture."
Imperial Physician Cen did not dare to hesitate. After roasting the silver needle, he inserted it into Xiao Langyan's fingertip.
A drop of blood fell into the bowl and made a crisp "dong" sound.
When Imperial Physician Cen was about to grab Su Xincheng's little hand, he suddenly stopped. He looked troubled: "Your Majesty, this..."
If it wasn't the emperor's child, how could he dare to hurt the princess's body at will if it was really the emperor's heir, Dragon Girl?
Xiao Langyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Xincheng's round face.
The little guy was sleeping deeply, his cheeks were pink and cute, and his little hands were unconsciously grasping the skirt of his clothes, as if relying on him.
Xiao Langyan took her little hand, covered her eyes with his own palm, and said to Doctor Cen: "Add the acupuncture, and be quick."
"Yes." Dr. Cen took the needle and pricked it. Su Xincheng was suddenly awakened by the sudden stinging pain and cried out.
She struggled to retract her hand, and Doctor Cen quickly grabbed her fingertips, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it into the bowl just now.
Then, Xiao Langyan hugged Su Xincheng and stood up, imitating Shen Dingzhu's example, and patted her back gently.
"You have a nightmare, don't be afraid. You are a good boy, so you can't cry. If you wake your mother up, she won't be able to sleep well."
When Su Xincheng heard this in a daze, she immediately tightened her cry. She wiped her tears with her little hands and said in a sweet voice, "Don't cry, Chengcheng."
Xiao Langyan hugged her and coaxed her by the window. After a while, the little guy fell asleep on his shoulder again.
At this time, he turned around. Doctor Cen and Chen Heng looked shocked, and Xiao Langyan frowned: "What's the result?"
It took Mrs. Cen a while to react, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and held the porcelain bowl high.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for finding the princess!"
Xiao Langyan quickly stepped forward and took a look, and sure enough, the two drops of blood in the bowl merged.
Su Xincheng is his daughter.
When Shen Dingzhu woke up, the room was quiet.
She reached out and touched the place next to her: "Chengcheng, Chengcheng?"
However, she felt something cold. Shen Dingzhu suddenly woke up and sat up, looking around, looking for the child.
There were creases between her pretty brows, and she blamed herself for negligence.
She obviously told herself that she must be careful to prevent Xiao Langyan from venting his anger on the child, but she was so tired last night that after watching her daughter fall asleep, she actually fell asleep herself.
Still sleeping so hard!
It was already daylight outside.
She was afraid that Xiao Langyan had taken the child away, so she quickly changed her clothes. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Langyan standing at the door with a bowl of medicine and a gloomy expression.
He seemed to have just wanted to come in.
When Shen Dingzhu saw him, her face turned pale suddenly. She felt inexplicably that her waist was about to fall apart, and she was a little afraid of him taking two steps back.
But thinking of the child, she immediately asked: "Where is Chengcheng?"
"Drink the medicine." Xiao Langyan handed over a bowl of thick brown medicine.
Shen Dingzhu refused decisively: "Give me the child back."
"After you drink the medicine, I will naturally let you see her. Otherwise, you will never see her in this life." Xiao Langyan said coldly, with a cold and ruthless expression on his eyebrows.
Shen Dingzhu bit her lower lip and looked at the bowl of soup that she didn't know what it was. She couldn't do anything wrong now because she had a daughter and had worries.
Xiao Langyan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said in a sharp tone: "This is Bizi Tang. Do you want to be pregnant with my dragon seed? You are worthy of it?"
Shen Dingzhu's face froze.
Thinking of his crazy request yesterday, she really should drink this bowl of Bizi soup, so Shen Dingzhu took the bowl and drank it all without saying a word.
"Can I let my concubine see the child now?" Shen Dingzhu's fair face showed anxiety.
At this time, a soft and soft voice came: "Mother!"
Shen Dingzhu turned his head and saw that behind Xiao Langyan, Chen Heng was leading Su Xincheng back. The little guy was actually wearing new clothes.
