Chapter 211 Let's Start the War!
"What am I waiting for?" Chi Yanyun asked, still in a daze. "I'm waiting for the result!"
After the blood test to confirm kinship, no one could stop him from bringing the extraordinary treasure... no, Su Yun home!
“Mother…” Xiao Erke’s voice trembled slightly as he pointed to the small bowl, “Mother, look!”
"Look?" Chi Yanyun asked, puzzled.
The matter is already settled, so what's the point of watching?
But seeing her son's deathly pale face, she turned her head and looked at the bottom of the bowl with anticipation and confidence.
A drop of blood, suspended in the middle of clear water.
It's like a domineering monarch, firmly controlling the entire small ecosystem.
Even if the surrounding liquid is a hundred or a thousand times more potent, it cannot be diluted in the slightest.
The blood is understated and unassuming, not particularly special, but just one glance will surprise you with its mystery and profundity.
It was as if it were not a drop of blood, but a masterpiece of art forged by a great craftsman.
"Where is my...blood?" Chi Yanyun was momentarily captivated when she saw the drop of blood.
But she quickly realized that there was only one drop of blood in the bowl!
Chi Yanyun was shocked: "Something's fishy! Where's my blood?!"
"Cheating! Someone's rigging the game!"
Why is there only one drop of Su Yun's blood in this bowl?
She squeezed in first, how come she's gone!
"What excellent blood!" Emperor Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "This child is truly extraordinary."
Over the thousands of years of the Great Qian Dynasty, hundreds and thousands of people with special physical characteristics have emerged.
The fact that Su Yun could squeeze out such a drop of blood shows that he is no ordinary person.
No wonder even the Imperial Advisor and the God of War are so fond of this child; this extraordinary talent will surely help the Great Qian Dynasty prosper for generations to come.
After silently sighing, Emperor Qian's face darkened slightly: "Are you questioning whether I cheated?"
Chi Yanyun was immediately startled and knelt down on the ground: "This humble woman dares not!"
Emperor Qian paused, wondering if he had gone too far.
They've already cheated, yet they still try to intimidate others with their power.
This was, after all, the mother of the top scholar. He changed to a calm tone: "Look closely, isn't this rim of the bowl your blood?"
Chi Yanyun looked again and was immediately shocked: "This—!"
"How can this be!"
When the emperor's brother-in-law and Eunuch Cao heard the word "cheating," they were first taken aback, fearing that they would be held accountable, and immediately looked at Imperial Physician Han.
Han Youfang was also alarmed. He hadn't reported the oil issue, but instead removed the alum. Was that considered cheating?
All three of them were secretly worried, but seeing that Chi Yanyun's expression did not seem to have discovered anything, they couldn't help but look into the bowl.
"Good blood!"
"it's beautiful!"
"Truly a prodigy of this era!"
The three of them exclaimed in admiration, silently marveling at the sight.
The blood, which does not exude any strange aura, is condensed like a ruby, understated and reserved, yet captivating.
The physique capable of giving birth to this thing must be even more extraordinary.
Thinking of this, their gazes became even more fond.
But then, they shifted their gaze to the bowl that Emperor Qian had mentioned.
Immediately, the group gasped again: "That's really domineering!"
"That's real confidence!"
"This child... has such a peculiar physique, yet remains pure of heart and never harms others. Truly rare, truly rare!"
Chi Yanyun's blood wasn't that it didn't drip in; rather, it was evenly squeezed to the edge of the bowl by the ruby in the center!
Su Yun's blood is like that of a monarch who walks among the people.
Even dressed in simple clothes, his regal aura still commands respect and makes people dare not approach him, prompting them to bow down in worship.
Chi Yanyun's blood, like a circle of subjects, trembled in fear.
Even with the rim of the bowl, it tries to climb up the cup wall as much as possible, away from the center.
And facing the ruby in the center, he knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times until he exhausted all his energy and turned into a dry black.
The rings of grime around the rim of the bowl were the blood of Chi Yanyun, whom even clear water dared not touch, for fear of angering the central monarch!
Chi Yanyun was stunned: "How is this possible!"
"How can it be!!!"
She muttered to herself, stood up without even asking permission, and kept shaking her head and backing away.
All of Chi Yanyun's dreams collapsed at this moment.
The blood cannot mix, and even escapes to the outside.
Su Yun and I have no connection!
Xiao Erke rushed forward and supported his mother: "Mother, Mother, don't get agitated, Mother, look at me!"
He kept comforting her, but his grief was no less than that of Chi Yanyun.
Su Yun was not a member of the Xiao family. He had lost more than just a younger brother; he had also lost his innate talent, literary courage, and those sacred weapons and imperial treasures!
Jun Youlan didn't look at the cup, but he could already tell the answer from people's expressions.
He knelt on the ground, speechless.
The emperor's brother-in-law and Eunuch Cao exchanged a glance, both secretly relieved, and then smiled.
Imperial Physician Han stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.
Qingman hugged Su Yun, extremely excited: "Young Master, it's done, it really is done!"
"You really aren't... no, you are Madam's child!"
She was among the first to know that Su Yun was not a child of the Su family.
But they are also the group of people who are least willing to accept this fact.
Now that the truth has finally been revealed, Su Yun's true identity is no longer important.
If he's not a member of the Xiao family, then he must be a member of the Su family!
How happy Xi Yaoyue must be to hear this news!
Su Yun was being hugged and responded with a smile.
Yet he was the most composed person present.
Why? Because no matter what's in the bowl, the blood can't mix!
Su Yun has obtained so many divine gifts, from Dao bones to ancestral blood, and he has also received the blessing of the Phoenix Ancestor and the radiation of the Emperor Lotus.
His physique is now on a level far beyond that of Chi Yanyun.
How could the blood of an immortal tolerate a mere mortal merging with it?
Therefore, Su Yun was happy to play the blood test to prove kinship, which would allow him to easily sever his ties with the Xiao family.
Emperor Qian couldn't help but smile: "It seems the matter is now clear."
"The Su family and the Xiao family had some misunderstandings in the past."
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Su Yun is not the child the Xiao family is looking for."
"As for Xiao Qingchen... since a blood test was performed before, according to your logic, he should indeed abide by filial piety."
"Xiao Qingchen, you should stay in the Su family."
boom!
When Emperor Qian announced his verdict, Chi Yanyun felt like her head was about to explode.
She stared in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock.
His extraordinary treasures, his fortuitous opportunities, and his desire for revenge against the Su family all vanished without a trace.
Emperor Qian turned the tables on himself with his own words!
Su Yun's blood test proved that he was not a child of the Xiao family.
But Xiao Qingchen had a blood test to confirm that he was a child of the Su family!
“No, it’s not like that…” Chi Yanyun kept shaking her head and backing away, “It shouldn’t be like this.”
"You're so harsh!"
Her eyes were unfocused, and she clutched her son's clothes blankly: "Think of something, think of a way!"
"This can't be happening! This can't be!"
If we don't get Su Yun, are we going to lose Xiao Qingchen too?
Chi Yanyun cannot accept this!
Xiao Erke opened his mouth wide and glared fiercely at Su Yun.
He wanted to glare at Emperor Qian, but felt that his neck couldn't withstand the recoil.
Not daring to glare at the Imperial Uncle and Eunuch Cao, he could only glare at Su Yun.
It's all that kid's fault! Why didn't he just join the Xiao family? Why did he have to cause trouble?
Now it's all over, everything is gone!
Emperor Qian smiled and waved his hand: "Now that things are clear, you may leave."
bass!
Jun Youlan suddenly stood up, his voice vehement: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
He paused, then spoke each word clearly and forcefully: "Someone cheated!"
Swish!
Several pairs of eyes fell on him.
Emperor Qian's eyes turned somewhat cold: "Oh?"
Jun Youlan stepped forward, pointing to the small bowl: "There's something wrong with this water! Please allow me..."
He reached out his hand to touch the small bowl.
Swish!
Those gazes turned as sharp as knives.
Jun Youlan raised her eyes and was immediately shocked.
Imperial Physician Han, Eunuch Cao, and the Emperor's brother-in-law all cast unfriendly glances.
The veteran bureaucrats who had served in the court for decades naturally knew what this meant.
They cheated, and they all participated!
In this matter, I am on the side of absolute weakness.
But Jun Youlan remained resolute; she could not back down!
Since we've already offended them, let's offend them to the fullest extent.
If they can't win Su Yun over, they'll face a furious and devastating retaliation.
His livelihood and the riches and honors of his later life were all contained in the small bowl in front of him!
Jun Youlan gritted his teeth and lowered his fingers, so much so that they touched the water's surface.
hiss!
He suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation, and instinctively looked up, only to find his whole body stiffening instantly.
The Emperor Qian's cold gaze had been withdrawn, replaced by calmness and indifference.
"He..." Jun Youlan's heart felt like it was being squeezed, "The Emperor, he did it too?!"
There was no killing intent in his eyes, but Jun Youlan had seen Emperor Qian with such an expression before, when he wiped out countless clans!
He was warning that if he revealed the truth, he would face the same fate.
"Teacher?" Xiao Erke asked, "You...didn't you say someone cheated?"
"Why don't you continue?"
A glimmer of light reappeared in Chi Yanyun's eyes: "My lord, my lord, I beg you, please let my son... come back to my side!"
Jun Youlan gave a bitter smile.
Not revealing it means death, revealing it also means death.
He stood on the cliff, with no safe haven around him!
All eyes were on him, eager to see what Jun Youlan would do.
Snapped!
He suddenly stumbled and knocked over the bowl of water.
Eunuch Cao reacted the fastest, his wariness instantly turning into concern: "Lord Jun, how could you be so careless?"
The bowl is already broken, and besides, cheating can't be detected.
It seems that this Minister of Rites is sensible and did not embarrass Emperor Qian.
Jun Youlan suddenly said, "This water... is poisonous!"
"Someone is trying to frame His Majesty and the young master of the Su family!"
Emperor Qian frowned, but remained silent.
Jun Youlan knelt down with a thud, cupped his hands and said, "Your subject noticed something was wrong long ago and secretly monitored the enemy spies in the Imperial Kitchen."
"I never expected them to launch an attack at this time, poisoning the water!"
"Fortunately, the spy didn't know that this bowl of water was not for drinking; otherwise, if His Majesty had been harmed, I would have been a sinner for all eternity, and I would have been willing to die ten thousand times over!"
Everyone present was taken aback. How did this involve spies again?
Emperor Qian turned his face, and Imperial Physician Han immediately said, "Indeed... I found a pill in the bowl."
"I intended to report to His Majesty privately, but I did not expect Lord Jun to speak first."
Eunuch Cao immediately gave the order, and the chefs in the imperial kitchen were quickly arrested and taken away for questioning.
The details of how they possessed the young eunuchs and secretly administered drugs were quickly revealed.
