Chapter 697 is back

The sword was obviously not drawn by Chongxian himself.When Yin Heng took his sword away casually, even he couldn't react in time.

The eunuch's face was pale, and when he looked back at the humming sword, he felt the coolness in his arms dissipated, followed by extremely severe pain.

Blood leaked silently along the cloth, and before the eunuch could reach out to cover it, his entire arm fell off.

The incision is exceptionally neat, even with bones and tendons, very neat.

It's just that the broken arm still has a trace of flesh connected to it, and it hasn't been completely broken.Blood spurted, and the severed arm dangled.

The silky flesh couldn't bear the weight of the severed arm, and after shaking a few times, the arm fell to the ground.

The eunuch's fly whisk fell to the ground, and the snow-white beard was immediately wet with blood.

The eunuch's remaining hand couldn't cover the blood gushing like a fountain, and he screamed.

The yachas were all dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to act rashly as if they had been cast under a spell.As Yin Heng stepped into the room, the hairs on their backs stood upside down, feeling chilly.

The housekeeper has always been relatively calm, and when Yin Heng entered the courtyard, he called out the nuns in the courtyard very discerningly, so as not to be frightened by seeing such a scene.

The screams ran through the backyard, looking helpless and desperate.

Even the servants in the front yard could faintly hear it.

The eunuch knelt down in a pool of blood, trembling uncontrollably, his pale face was full of death due to excessive bleeding, he watched Yin Heng walking towards him step by step, almost crying, choked up and said: "Yin Heng Lord Wu, please forgive me..."

Yin Heng ignored him, and stopped by the small bed.He lowered his eyelids and looked inside the small bed, then stretched out his hand, twisted the corner of the small quilt with his fingers, and gently opened it.

I saw a small pillow under the small quilt, and there was no child on the small bed.

Yin Heng's voice was not angry but mighty, and asked: "Where is the person?"

The eunuch and several yamen servants scrambled to answer: "I don't know... the slaves don't know either... The prince is clear, the slaves also came here just a moment ago..."

Yin Heng said: "Get people out, dirty the place."

Chongxian immediately sent out a long whistle to summon several guards, and threw the eunuch and the servants out of the yard together.

Yin Heng turned back to look at the butler, and the butler said: "Don't worry, my lord, my concubine thought that the child might be involved, so I have already explained it, the son and the young lady are in a safe place right now."

The steward then reported the current situation to Yin Heng.

Now both Meng Yan and Xu Shenfang are being detained in Dali Temple. Not to mention, if you ask the government officials, you will know that even the Queen Mother is also in Dali Temple, waiting to take the child to test relatives.

When Yin Heng came home, he didn't even take a sip of water, and he didn't have time to wash his face and wipe his hands. He was dusty and said calmly, "Go to Dali Temple."

***
After the morning court, Yan Shouzhen came out of the court hall, and only after he left the palace gate did he receive the news from Dali Temple that the queen mother had arrived at Dali Temple, and she also sent people from Dali Temple to the Yinwu Palace to hold the child.

When Yan Shouzhen heard this, he didn't have the heart to greet his colleagues, so he quickly got into the carriage and asked Jingyun to hurry back to Dali Temple.

If something happened to King Yin Wu's wife and children in his Dali Temple, the consequences would be serious.The Empress Dowager is using people from his territory to suppress the Yin Wu Palace. If he doesn't stop it, it will do him no good.

But the emperor has been silent.Later, someone came to report that the Seventh Prince had returned to the mansion smoothly, and he would return to the palace after a short rest.

The emperor was reading the scriptures and waved people to leave.

The seven princes have all returned, and of course King Yin Wu has also returned.There's no need for him to worry about it.

When Yan Shouzhen was sweating profusely and ran back to the trial hall of Dali Temple with the hem of his robe in his hand, he saw Meng Yan and Xu Shenfang kneeling on the ground, the Empress Dowager sitting on the head, and the palace servants next to her were changing tea for her.

Yan Shouzhen wiped off his sweat, and quickly walked in to salute.

The Empress Dowager saw him and said: "Master Yan came at the right time, I think he will be here in a while, and then I will ask Mr. Yan to be a witness on the spot."

Yan Shouzhen said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I think this matter is inappropriate. The Empress Dowager is the master of the harem, so it is really inappropriate to appear here."

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family doesn't want to, but the royal family has to maintain its dignity. This is the end of the matter, please wait a moment, Mr. Yan."

Yan Shouzhen said honestly: "Dali Temple has always been independent in handling cases, and no department can intervene, let alone the harem. The harem has never been involved in politics. If the empress dowager insists on acting on behalf of the emperor, I have no choice but to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision!"

The Empress Dowager was not annoyed, she leaned her forearm on the chair handle, and said slowly: "The Ai family is not handling cases, and the other is not involved in politics, it is just to test the blood of the royal family, Lord Yan is too fussy."

As she said that, the nurse next to the queen mother brought up a tray with two bowls of water on it for the blood test later.

Yan Shouzhen said with a serious expression: "Since the Queen Mother is determined to go her own way, I have nothing to say. But this matter is the Queen Mother's idea, and if I don't agree with or accept it, it has nothing to do with Dali Temple. The Queen Mother just occupied the minister. It’s just a place. In this way, everyone in Dali Temple, etc., are all removed, and no one is allowed to interfere!”

Inside and outside the trial hall are waiting for the yamen, as well as some principals and two young ministers.

According to Yan Shouzhen's words, all the people in Dali Temple withdrew from the trial hall in an orderly manner.

Under such circumstances, who doesn't want to be wise and safe and get out?

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Yan Shouzhen was under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and he would not favor any side.

The Empress Dowager saw that he was so stubborn, the amiable look on his face dissipated, and some haze was cast on his face, she said: "Master Yan, you must be like this?"

Yan Shouzhen said: "Since the Empress Dowager wants to test the royal lineage and preserve the royal dignity, it is inconvenient for Dali Temple to intervene in the royal family's private affairs. But if the Empress Dowager insists on testifying, I am willing to do my best in my own name."

As he said that, he took off his official hat, which meant that he was not the status of Dali Temple Minister at the moment. He looked at the tray in Nanny's hand, and said, "But the water for this blood test may have to be changed again."

The queen mother said: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the water?"

Yan Shouzhen said: "I dare not, I am just a middleman, of course we must strive for fairness."

As soon as the voice fell, at this moment, under the sun outside, there was a figure running here in a hurry.The queen mother pretended to be distracted, raised her eyes to look outside, and stopped talking about it for the time being.

When the figure ran to the front of the main hall, it was a servant from the Dali Temple. He didn't look at his feet when he entered the door, but he was caught by the threshold and fell in.

The Yacha was lying on the ground, grinning in pain, and had to get up quickly. Before he could report, the Queen Mother asked first, "Did you bring him back?"

Meng Yan and Xu Chenfang also turned their heads to look at the yacha, with calm expressions.

I saw fear on the Yachai's sweaty face, shaking his head and nodding for a while, not knowing what to say, he just said: "I'm back, I'm back!"
