Seeing all kinds of conjectures being made, Cao Hou could not bear it any longer. He angrily flicked his sleeves and stood up, saying coldly, "What Eldest Imperial Son?! This consort's Eldest Imperial Son was unfortunately killed by a scoundrel before he was even born and returned to Tianming. Now, he is still buried in the imperial mausoleum. Everyone knows about this. Where did the other Eldest Imperial Son come from? This is simply absurd and ridiculous! Prime Minister Tan, His Majesty and this consort have given you some face because you have served the court for many years and shared His Majesty's burdens. If you continue to spread such absurd rumors here, don't blame this consort for being impolite! "
"Your Highness, what this subject has recited is all from the imperial edict. Not a single word has been exaggerated. If Your Highness does not believe me, you can look it over yourself!"
"Imperial edict? It can only be called an imperial edict when it is written by the imperial family and stamped with a golden seal. Such a thing of unknown origin is clearly made up by you! Speak! Tan Shiyuan, what is your purpose in coming here today! Or have you been in cahoots with this sorcerer for a long time and want to ruin my Xiao Family's country! " Cao Hou's words were like hammers that fiercely smashed at Tan Shiyuan. He wanted nothing more than to immediately drag this old man out and tear him apart. "Tan Shiyuan, this consort will give you one more chance. If you admit your wrongs in time, this consort and His Majesty can be lenient. Otherwise, don't blame this consort for not remembering our old friendship!"
Facing the murderous Yongchengwei that invisibly gathered around him, Tan Shiyuan was not afraid at all. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, and all the people present, this old subject dares to guarantee with his life that this old subject has not made up a single word of this imperial edict. If you do not believe it, there is the simplest way to verify it — dripping water to identify family! If it is proven that His Majesty and Xiahou Qing's blood can mix, then the truth will be revealed! "
Tan Shiyuan's words were like a fierce slap that instantly stunned the Emperor Empress. Xiao Yunyi's expression suddenly changed. The web between his thumb and forefinger pressed tightly against the hilt of his sword. His eyes were like swords and filled with killing intent. He did his best to restrain himself.
Cao Hou's anger erupted like a volcano after being brutally attacked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tan Shiyuan, what are your intentions! How could he say such absurd words? Firstly, everyone knows that Xiahou Qing is the only legitimate son of the Nanping Mansion. When he was born, he asked the Imperial Court to confer him the title of Heir Apparent. Today, you say that he is His Majesty's son, and you want His Majesty to listen to your command in front of the people and do a blood test. Where do you place His Majesty's respect? How abominable! Secondly, His Majesty has been unwell recently and has been bedridden. I wish I could persuade His Majesty to return to the temporary imperial residence to recuperate. However, His Majesty simply cannot let go of the state affairs and the people and has repeatedly rejected my suggestion. Now, he is barely able to keep up with the state affairs and is forcing himself to handle the state affairs. I accompany His Majesty every day and my heart aches endlessly. His Majesty is the foundation of the imperial court. If something happens to His Majesty, how long do you think the world will be at peace? Now, you want to share His Majesty's burden, and you want to force His Majesty to damage his dragon body. Tan Shiyuan, oh Tan Shiyuan, your heart is simply punishable! Someone come! What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you taking this old thief down for me! "
When Xiao Yunyi received the order, he immediately rushed forward with a cold face. With a light wave of his hand that was covered with saber scars and sword calluses, dozens of guards swarmed forward.
After being restrained by the guards, the yellow handkerchief in his hand was snatched away. Before his mouth was covered, Tan Shiyuan shouted loudly, "Your Highness, you are wrong! The blood test only needs a drop of dragon blood to verify, so how could it harm His Majesty's foundation? If it is not tested, the people will always be suspicious. Could it be that His Majesty and Your Highness are afraid of something? Your Highness, look up. So many people are looking at you. What are you afraid of? "
"Shut up! What is there to be afraid of between His Majesty and This Consort? This Consort has given you time and time again, but you are still saying alarmist words to scare people and confuse them! Kill! Kill this old man for This Consort! "
