Chapter 385 Changing titles, unpredictable fate (begging for monthly tickets and rewards at the beginning of the month!)
Ugh!
Tianxuan sensed the sadness in Zhengge's tone. Even though he was not yet sure whether Zhengge was his father in this life, he still sighed in his heart.
"It is not uncommon for queen mothers to keep male favorites in the history books, and it is not uncommon for male favorites to rise to high positions. For example, the famous diplomat Su Qin once had an affair with the queen mother of Yan. The kings of various countries turned a blind eye to this because their mothers were widowed in their prime."
"But, other queen mothers who kept male favorites at least knew what was more important. Only Queen Mother Zhao considered her lover more important than her own son!"
Tianxuan was somewhat reckless and blurted out all the words that he had buried for many years in front of Zheng Ge.
"Tianxuanzi, it has not yet been confirmed whether you are my son, but you have become so bold." When Tianxuan said this, everyone around him broke into a cold sweat. Zhengge, who was the first to be hit in the sore spot, showed a half-smile on his handsome face and said to Tianxuan meaningfully.
Tianxuan said: "Your Majesty, please don't tell me that before the rebellion, you really didn't know that Lao Ai was the male favorite of Queen Mother Zhao?"
"I have known this for a long time." Zheng Ge raised his head, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, "Just as you said, my mother was widowed in her prime, lonely in the deep palace. So, I simply turned a blind eye to her affairs with Zhongfu and Lao Ai!"
"It's just that," Tian Xuan pointed out the key point, "both your Majesty and the former Prime Minister Lu Buwei underestimated the audacity of Lao Ai, a street scoundrel; and the fact that Queen Mother Zhao has big breasts and no brains!"
'Big breasts, no brains!'
When the people in the palace heard this, although they knew that Tianxuan's words were a bit taboo, they still nodded secretly. That Queen Mother Zhao Ji was indeed a big-breasted and brainless woman.
"How can I be sure that you are my son? It's actually very simple!" Zheng Ge did not dwell on these old events for too long. He raised his sword eyes and cast a ray of light on the Zongzheng Yingze who he had specially found. "Uncle, did you bring the things?"
"Your Majesty, I have brought it." Ying Ze nodded heavily, indicating that he understood what to do.
After reminding his uncle Yingze with a secret code, Zheng Ge clapped his hands, and the crisp applause echoed in the Sihai Guiyi Hall.
Following Zheng Ge's applause, a eunuch in red robes lowered his head, held a tray in both hands, and walked forward in small steps. On the tray, there was a small water jar and a sharp dagger.
'Blood test!'
Seeing what was served, everyone present could guess what Zheng Ge wanted to do, and these four words all came to their mind.
Wow!
When the eunuch holding the small water jar came to him, Yingze, who was the chief of the imperial clan, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the cork, and poured the red liquid from the palm-sized porcelain bottle into the water jar filled with clear water, making a crisp sound. To everyone's surprise, the red liquid did not dissolve after entering the water jar, but merged into the clear water.
"This is the blood-melting medicine developed by the great doctor Bian Que." Ying Ze looked at the clear water jar and said with a proud tone, "If they are biological father and son, and you drop their blood into it, the blood will definitely blend together. On the contrary, even if the blood is the same type, if they are not biological father and son, the blood will never blend together."
"Since Bian Que Qin Yueren, the royal family of our Great Qin has used this method to verify whether members whose bloodline is questionable have royal bloodline!"
"I see."
Hearing Yingze's proud words, Tianxuan understood, stepped forward, came to the water jar still held up by the red-robed eunuch, picked up the dagger, scratched the tip of his left middle finger, and a few drops of crystal blood flowed from Tianxuan's finger and fell into the water jar. Muttering to himself, Tianxuan looked meaningfully at Zhengge who had walked down from the high platform. "No wonder there have always been rumors that your majesty is the son of Lu Buwei, and the late king still insisted on passing the throne to you!"
Zheng Ge walked down from the height, and the moment his eyes met Tian Xuan's, he caught these words from the eyes of this young man, whose name had not yet been confirmed to be his son.
Zheng Ge took the dagger from Tianxuan's hand, cut his finger in the same way, and dripped his blood into the water jar.
Brush and pull!
Everything tonight has finally come to the point where the truth is revealed.
Zheng Ge and Tian Xuan, both of them had no time to stop the bleeding, and they simultaneously cast their eyes on the water jar, intending to see if the blood would mix. Fu Su, Ying Ze, and even Tian Xuan's two wives: Yan Fei and Yue Shen, who were nearby, also cast their eyes on the water jar. At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the blood in the water jar.
[Am I your Majesty's son? ]
When Tianxuan looked at the water jar, his mind was tangled like a tangled mess.
As a person, he naturally wanted to know what his name was, who his father was, and who his mother was. However, as things developed to this point, his father was most likely Ying Zheng, the great emperor who was both legendary and talented, and no one dared to rebel against him.
If he is the son of Ying Zheng, it means that he will be involved in the vortex of fighting for the throne. Even if he is unwilling to fight for the throne, Fusu and others will not trust him. The Yin-Yang School, the Taoist Tianzong and other forces will push him to fight for the succession of the empire. When a person reaches a certain point, it is impossible to follow his temper.
On the contrary, if he was not Ying Zheng’s son, everything might have remained the same!
Although his mind was tangled, Tianxuan's eyes did not leave the water jar. The blood that he and Zhengge dripped into the water jar was clearly separated at the beginning, then slowly moved together. Finally, it completely merged together. The blood from different people merged into one, floating on the clear water, like crystal clear blood jade.
Boom!
Seeing that his blood and Zhengge's blood had actually merged together, Tianxuan felt as if he had been hit hard and his heart beat violently.
"Ha ha ha ha."
When Zheng Ge saw the blood mixing, he laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in the Sihai Guiyi Hall. In addition to the ecstasy and excitement of the father and son meeting, there was also endless pride.
"Oh my god... fourth brother!"
Prince Fusu was also shocked by this fact, his eyes widened, looking at Tianxuan in disbelief. Over the years, he and Tianxuan had a close relationship, and they could be said to be childhood friends. Tianxuan, a minister with outstanding military achievements and talents, was also Fusu's biggest help in his fight for the throne.
However, everything that happened tonight meant that Tianxuan would no longer be his arm in the fight for the crown prince position, but would instead become his biggest rival.
"Big...brother?"
Fusu's call of "fourth brother" woke Tianxuan up. He looked at Fusu not far away with an incredible look and murmured.
Call him fourth brother and call him eldest brother!
Although it was a name between relatives that was a hundred times more intimate than the names like "Eldest Prince" and "Unparalleled Lord", when Tianxuan and Fusu looked at each other, they both saw the endless sorrow in each other's eyes, as well as the helplessness towards the impermanence of the world. This was because from this moment on, they were no longer partners, but opponents!
