Chapter 347 Blood Evidence

Wen Youhai rubbed the sweat on his forehead: "But in the current situation, Liu Deqian is really Hua Lun's son, and the country's uncle didn't say anything... Only the test can prove my mother's innocence."

"The old minister thinks it's impossible!"

"I think it's feasible!"

"I don't think so!"

"..."

For a moment, more than a dozen courtiers began to argue, and then they all got up and knelt down in Li Tianxiao's direction: "Your Majesty, please think again."

It's just that a few courtiers sat there without moving.

Even Wen Youhai didn't move.

He supported Hua Lun, just thinking about how such an amazing and talented person was harmed by the queen mother back then, and the evil things Liu Guojiu and the queen mother did in these years, he couldn't say anything against his will.

At this moment, Li Tianxiao's voice sounded slowly: "How about this? Since the courtiers hold two opinions, then it's time to vote, and all the lovers present, just vote. If it’s bloody, say you agree, if you disagree, say you don’t agree. How about it depends on the situation?”

Empress Dowager Liu glanced across Feng Huan, most of them were from her own side, and then she nodded towards Nanny Cui.

Nanny Cui raised her head: "Your Majesty has no objections, we cannot let the wicked slander Your Majesty casually."

Uncle Liu Guo naturally had no objection either.

So, the voting begins...

Starting from Wen Youhai, a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, but he glanced at Hua Lun and Yao Zongping, who were kneeling upright not far away, swallowed, and still closed his eyes and said without hesitation: "Your official... agrees to the blood test." .”

As soon as Wen Youhai finished his sentence, more than a dozen courtiers all looked at him.

However, everyone's eyes flickered, and each of them began to announce their decisions. The eunuch next to Li Tianxiao began to count the number of people, but as the courtiers began to vote one by one, the situation was not very optimistic.

Obviously at the beginning, most of them supported Empress Dowager Liu and disagreed with the blood test.

Compared with Wen Youhai's worries, Chu Qing was much calmer. She didn't have any hope that the vote would really succeed, but just to see how much of the ministers in the court still favored the Empress Dowager Liu.

It can be distinguished, after all, the empress dowager Liu and Uncle Liu are still there for so many years, it is really not easy to change overnight.

But no matter what, she is not without back tricks.

Her last move was the previous mausoleum case. If after the vote, there were more people who disagreed with the blood test than those who agreed, then she would let people expose the matter.

The final result will still not change in any way.

After spending so much time with the emperor and others, she only had this one chance, so naturally she would not let Empress Dowager Liu hide.

After the twelve courtiers had already voted, the votes were nine to three. This number made Wen Youhai sigh in despair.

There are still five courtiers left. The result is probably self-evident, but what is surprising is that the next five positions are not high, and all of them were chosen to support the blood test.

Wen Youhai took a closer look. Like him, those five were Jinshi who had been with Hua Lun for a year, and their eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Lu Huan looked up, and couldn't help the redness of his eyes. Yao Zongping took a deep breath, held the back of Lu Huan's hand, and patted it. However, even though the five courtiers behind him all chose to support the blood test, the score was still nine to eight... …

Yao Zongping suddenly said: "Since the emperor said to let the courtiers, although the lower official is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, he can also be regarded as a courtier, right? I don't know Mr. Wen, the lower official may vote?"

Wen Youhai's eyes lit up: yes, yes, why did you forget him?
Immediately before Nanny Cui could say anything, she said, "Of course it's possible."

Yao Zongping also saw the other party's intentions, and shouted almost instantly: "Your official agrees to the blood test!"

Almost at the same time, the eunuch's shrill chanting sounded: "Nine to nine."

The people suddenly boiled, nine to nine, is this a blood test or not?

Isn't there still no conclusion?
Mother Cui breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, since it's a [-]-[-] tie, it's better to discuss this matter later. This is also what your empress means."

It was inconvenient for Empress Dowager Liu to speak, and Nanny Cui emphasized the last few words when she spoke.

But at this moment, Chu said slowly and leisurely: "Who said nine to nine, I haven't voted yet."

This result was obviously beyond Chu Qing's expectation. She thought the situation would be one-sided. She glanced at these courtiers inadvertently, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. But in the end, are there still people who are devoid of humanity and have kind thoughts in their hearts?

Chu Qing had some worries in her heart, and I believe the emperor also had some worries, knowing that those people can still be saved, and which ones can not be reused.

As soon as Chu Qing said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then took a look, it was indeed Yu Tixing who hadn't voted yet, because she had been keeping a low profile, so she almost forgot.

Uncle Liu Guo was relieved when he heard Chu Qing's words, and even Queen Mother Liu was also relieved. She knew that Chu Qing belonged to Uncle Liu Guo, so she naturally thought that Chu Qing would help Uncle Liu Guo.

The eunuch respectfully said: "I don't know which one Mr. Xiao Yu plans to vote for?"

Chu Qing glanced at Uncle Liu Guo, and after a long distance, Uncle Liu met Chu Qing's eyes, but at this moment, he saw the other party smiling slightly, but the smile was not Reaching the bottom of the eyes, there was a bit of coldness.

Uncle Liu Guo was stunned for a moment, staring at Chu Qing in a daze, suddenly remembered something, stood up straight suddenly, and was about to speak, but Chu Qing said before: "The next official selection... blood test!"

As soon as Chu Qing said this, almost half of the people present changed their faces. Uncle Liu Guo's eyebrows twitched a few times, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Chu Qing, but he didn't speak for no reason.

Mother Cui was surprised and then lost her temper: "Master Yu, what do you mean?"

Chu Qing smirked, "This nanny, what is your identity, you dare to question this official? Huh? Just because you are someone close to the Queen Mother? But in the eyes of this official, the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. , not to mention, you don't have any job, right?"

The light words from the other party made Nanny Cui look very good-looking. Everyone was worried that Chu Qing would favor Uncle Liu Guo. After all, in their opinion, although Yu Tixing was a good official, this good official was Liu Guojiu's disciple.

So after Chu Qing suddenly confronted Uncle Liu Guo, they were dumbfounded and didn't recover.

The eunuch who made the statistics immediately shouted: "The statistics are over, nine to ten, and the blood test begins!"

Li Tianxiao also spoke when everyone was stunned: "Since this is a request from all the gentlemen, I will give everyone a clear answer, come here... for a blood test!"

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Liu really panicked at this time.

"Mother... I know you are innocent, don't worry, this is to repay your innocence, I know that my mother has nothing to do with this Hua Lun, and Liu Deqian, but in the current situation, if you can't prove your innocence, if your mother is arrested People slander and splash dirty water, and I am truly filial and uneasy." Li Tianxiao's few words stopped Empress Dowager Liu's reprimand.

After all, he was doing it for her own good. In this situation, if you don't understand it, how can you do it?Wouldn't it embarrass the royal family?
Seeing how much he believed in his mother, it must be fine.

Everyone also only felt that the emperor really had a deep love for the mother and son of the empress dowager. In order to repay the innocence of the empress dowager Liu, he did not hesitate to perform a blood test in front of everyone to reclaim the innocence of the empress mother.

Empress Dowager Liu was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, but her body shook, not knowing what to do.

Now riding a tiger is hard to get off, and she is so mad at her.

But she couldn't find any refutation. Could it be that she didn't take a blood test?
"Mother? What's the matter? But is there any embarrassment?" Li Tianxiao acted obediently when he got the advantage.

How could Empress Dowager Liu dare to say anything about the embarrassment? If it was embarrassing, wouldn't it prove that she was guilty?How could she come to test this blood?

As long as one test...wouldn't it be telling everyone that she and Liu Deqian are mother and son?

But before Empress Dowager Liu could think up her words, Li Tianxiao thought of a perfect plan, and said again, "The empress is afraid of pain, don't worry, it's just a drop of blood. I've brought the female officer here, and I promise there won't be any problems." After all, the Empress Dowager Liu was not given a chance to refute, "Come here...serve the empress dowager to bleed!"

Almost at the same time, two nuns and four female officials came out from nowhere, and nunnery Cui and others beside Empress Dowager Liu just wanted to speak, but were suddenly suppressed by someone covering their mouths.

This happened almost instantaneously. Empress Dowager Liu was blocked behind the curtain and couldn't see clearly at all.

Before she could recover, she found that the curtain was lifted, and a female official and a nanny came in directly.

Empress Dowager Liu was taken aback: "Bastard! You dare to touch Ai's family!"

It was just that he was immediately gagged, and the bright yellow curtains on the left and right blocked everyone's sight, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.

Empress Dowager Liu struggled, but she was held down by the two nuns and took blood.

Empress Dowager Liu stared wide-eyed, her bun was messed up, and her eyes were bloodshot. If she didn't know that this was planned by the emperor, she would be really stupid. She couldn't help shivering , Could it be... Did he already know?
Did he already know that Liu Deqian was his son?

How much more does he know?
After marrying Blood, Mammy stayed behind the curtain, still covering Queen Mother Liu's mouth.

The female officer walked out, and Shi Shiran saluted in Li Tianxiao's direction: "Reporting to the emperor, the empress has already taken the blood, and the empress said that she also wants to prove her innocence, so she is very happy to let the subordinates take the blood." .”

Li Tianxiao waved his hand, "Since this is also the queen mother's wish, let's go for a blood test."

Everyone was quite surprised to see that Empress Dowager Liu was willing to do so. Could it be that they were wrong? It was really Mrs. Liu and Hua Lun...

Liu Deqian couldn't wait a long time ago, as long as he was proved to be the son of the empress dowager, who would dare to cut off his head?

Who dares?
Therefore, Liu Deqian directly and honestly asked someone to take blood, when Liu Deqian's blood dripped into the bowl that had previously dripped Empress Dowager Liu's blood.

In order to let everyone see clearly, the female officer deliberately turned sideways, and when the blood dripped down, it merged into a drop almost at the same time.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this scene, and couldn't help but gasp: Oh my god...they really merged!
