The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 268
"Who is this lady, and why is she in the ancestral temple?" Pointing at the woman, Bo Ting frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, this lady claims to be your biological mother. She said that the Empress Dowager Wu accidentally had a miscarriage in Bieyuan, but she concealed the fact of the miscarriage. Instead, she asked people to inquire about the woman who was pregnant at the same time as her. It was one of them. After the doctor checked the pulse and confirmed that the lady was pregnant with a boy, the Empress Dowager Wu promised to pay a lot of money to buy the child. The lady originally refused, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager Wu would force her to do so. She had no choice but to agree. This is why I invite the emperor to come to the ancestral temple."

As soon as King Jingxian said this, the faces of the royal family members present changed drastically. They never expected that King Jingxian's outburst was such a big thing as confusing the blood of the royal family. Besides, Empress Dowager Wu was dead. In the case of death without symptoms, the woman's words are somewhat believable.

Taking this into consideration, the oldest princess in the royal family, Duanlao Wangfei, said leisurely: "King Jingxian, just based on this lady's one-sided words, it is really inappropriate to suspect the emperor's life experience. Maybe this lady is Under the instigation of some people with evil intentions, they deliberately stained the emperor's bloodline!"

As soon as the words of the old princess Duan came out, many people in the clan immediately agreed. Bo Ting was kind and capable. They didn't want the throne to be shaken and affect the interests of their palaces.

Princess Jingxian was always worried about the orthodoxy of the royal family. After hearing what the old princess said, her heart sank suddenly. She stared at the woman coldly and said, "Jiang Shi, let me ask you, Empress Dowager Wu paid you a lot of money. Son, if you don't agree, how did she threaten you!"

Jiang's expression became even more mournful when he heard the words: "The Empress Dowager Wu threatened me with the lives of my in-laws and husband."

After hearing the words, Princess Jingxian was not in a hurry to ask the next question, what she was thinking about was whether the Wu family, who was still the crown princess back then, would do such a thing.

But Old Princess Duan asked: "Jiang Shi, the Empress Dowager Wu paid a lot of money to buy her son, so she must have concealed her identity from you!"

Jiang Shi nodded without thinking about it, and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager Wu did hide her identity from the common women back then. She only said that she was the wife of a wealthy family. The seat in the office, so I thought of paying a lot of money to buy a child."

"So that's the case, then how did you know the real identity of Empress Dowager Wu, and how did you prove that the emperor is your biological son?" Old Princess Duan changed her previous kindness and stared at Jiang Shi with sharp eyes.

"When the woman was about to give birth, she was taken to Bieyuan by Empress Dowager Wu. After inquiring about it, the woman found out that Bieyuan was under the name of the late emperor. Naturally, the identity of Empress Dowager Wu became clear." Jiang replied calmly. road.

"Hmph, you answered calmly. It seems that you have seen some things in the world, but I don't understand. As a mother, even in the face of torture, she would rather die than surrender in order to protect her children, but you are good enough to confess everything. , don't you know that confusing the blood of the royal family is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan?"

"This..." Jiang was taken aback by the question, and panic appeared on her face. She thought that as long as she answered according to the answer given by the man, there would be no problem, but she didn't expect the old woman in front of her to be so shrewd. Shi rolled her eyes, and said in a sad voice: "The woman knows, but for the sake of Daxin's foundation, the woman chose to tell the truth. Please, for the sake of the woman's confession, save my son's life."

"Jiang Shi, do you think a few words of pleading can save your life? Or do you think the royal family is weak and easy to bully!" Princess Jingxian said in a bad tone.

Bo Ting has not spoken since entering the ancestral temple, because he knows that silence is far better than clarification at this time.The Jiang family in front of him has nothing to do with him at all. Although he is indeed not of royal blood, he cannot lose the throne right now, so no matter what, he must find a way to keep the throne.

"Actually, if you want to know whether the emperor and this Jiang family are mother and child, the easiest way is to do a blood test. This method is the most convincing." After a moment of silence, Old Princess Duan said, she looked at Bo Ting Said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can accept this proposal from my wife!"

"Of course." Bo Ting said lightly.

As soon as the Jiang family heard that they were going to test relatives with blood drops, they were anxious and were thinking of a way to refuse. At this time, a servant entered the ancestral temple and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang heard that the clan relatives gathered in the ancestral temple, and she was worried. See you outside the temple!"

When Bo Ting heard this, his eyes tightened, and his tone was indifferent: "Please come in, Concubine Liang!"

Concubine Liang stepped into the ancestral temple, and everyone hurriedly got up to salute. After she asked everyone to excuse herself, she looked at Bo Ting with concern and said, "Your Majesty, why did you summon the royal family, but what happened?"

Bo Ting thought to himself that it was really time for Concubine Liang to come, but on the face he said calmly: "This Jiang family who claims to be my biological mother, accused the Queen Mother of buying a son with a lot of money, so King Jingxian summoned the clansmen to interrogate the matter together. Since Concubine Liang is here, let's sit down and listen together!"

When Concubine Liang heard the words, a look of shock appeared on her face at the right time: "What? I'm afraid this Jiang family has evil intentions. The emperor is the eldest son of the first emperor, and his blood is absolutely orthodox."

"Grand Concubine Liang, the Emperor has agreed to do a blood test with the Jiang family to prove his lineage. Now that you're here, you can be a witness!" Concubine Duan looked at Concubine Liang suspiciously, but said in a calm tone.

"The emperor is the real dragon emperor, how can he harm himself for a woman's lies, besides, the royal blood is so easy to confuse, we all see the empress dowager's concern for the emperor, a mother, Who would care and take care of other people's children like that, besides, the Empress Dowager is not the only son of the Emperor, Prince Kang is also the son of the Empress Dowager!"

As soon as Concubine Liang said this, the clan members thought that Empress Dowager Wu had been stern and indifferent to Prince Kang for many years, and cared and kind to the current emperor. In terms of closeness, she was far more distant from Prince Kang.

King Jingxian frowned in displeasure after listening to Concubine Liang's words. The clan members did not know about Queen Mother Wu's poisoning of Emperor Cheng, but he was an insider. The reason for handing over to Empress Dowager Wu, from this incident, he fully understood how greedy Empress Wu was for power. It's not impossible, but with Queen Mother Wu's methods, how could she leave such a big disaster behind!
Just when the clansmen were hesitant because of Concubine Liang's words, King Jingxian said coldly: "Concubine Liang's words are wrong. Whether the royal bloodline is orthodox is related to Daxin's foundation for hundreds of years. Besides, the emperor is in good health. Just taking a drop of blood doesn't count as self-injury."
