Chapter 152 Falling out
Eldar blood? !
These four words brought silence to the place.
After all, although it is just a legend, there are people in the six countries who believe it, and there are also lords who are searching for it in secret.
Eunuch Wei said this, could it be that he has the blood of the spirit race on his hands?
Even Judge Cao's eyes lit up: "Eunuch Wei, please don't talk nonsense. It is said that the blood of the spirit race can heal the dead. Of course, a mere heart damage can be cured."
"If that's the case, someone just presented the Queen Mother with a bottle of spirit blood. When the Queen Mother heard that Miss Su's life was in danger, she specially ordered me to bring it along." Eunuch Wei said as he took out a small jade bottle and handed it to the King of War.
The War King held the jade bottle up to the light and looked at it. The jade bottle was transparent green, and the crimson liquid inside could be seen.
is blood.
Ji Xue's blood.
A hurricane seemed to be brewing in those narrow, icy eyes.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness. If it is really the blood of the spirit race, then Miss Su can definitely be saved." Mo Chuyi tried to smooth things over with Eunuch Wei.
Judge Cao looked eagerly at the jade bottle and said, "Your Majesty, may I have a whiff of this spirit blood?"
Even he had never seen the blood of the elves.
The War King handed the jade bottle to Cao Yuanpan with an expressionless face. Cao Yuanpan carefully opened the cork and sniffed it carefully: "It's human blood."
Judge Cao carefully examined the jade bottle again and asked, "Is this Qilin Jade?"
Things made of Qilin jade can keep things warm and fresh. Someone once made a Qilin jade coffin specifically for his deceased wife. It is said that it can keep the body from decaying and keep it lifelike.
"Yes, the Queen Mother was worried that the blood of the spirit race would be difficult to preserve, so she used Qilin jade to store it." Cao Yuanpan said, glancing at Cao Yuanpan. "This blood of the spirit race is a rare commodity. Cao Yuanpan, you must control your mouth. After all, no news has been leaked from the palace before."
He didn't dare to warn King Zhan and Mo Chuyi, so he naturally used Cao Yuanpan as a warning to others.
"I naturally know the severity of the case. When I go back to check the medical skills, I will tell the War King how to use the blood of the spirit race to treat Miss Su." Court Judge Cao solemnly returned the jade bottle to the War King.
"Since Miss Su is still ill, this imperial decree..." Eunuch Wei was interrupted by Prince Zhan before he could finish his words.
"Bring it here."
Eunuch Wei was stunned.
The King of War stretched out his hand and asked directly for the imperial decree.
This is the first time in this dynasty that a marriage has been granted by imperial decree. It's said that the eldest princess went to the palace, and then the imperial decree was issued. What is that person in the palace planning?
Eunuch Wei's smile was almost gone. He tried to speak, "Your Highness, this is an imperial decree for Miss Su."
Prince Zhan raised his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Eunuch Wei, like a knife blade.
"Then at least allow me to announce the imperial edict to you." Eunuch Wei winked at the young eunuch behind him who was receiving the imperial edict, and the young eunuch immediately handed over the imperial edict.
Eunuch Wei smiled apologetically and glanced at Prince Zhan to see if he had the intention to show respect.
After all, there is a process for receiving imperial edicts.
Prince Zhan glanced at Eunuch Wei calmly: "Why don't you announce the decree quickly? What are you waiting for?"
Eunuch Wei's smile froze, and then he directly announced the decree:
"The Empress Dowager has issued an edict: Su Jixue, descended from an aristocratic family in the capital, has a family tradition of poetry and literature. She is intelligent and virtuous, dignified and graceful, outstandingly elegant, gentle and considerate, virtuous and quiet, and cautious... I now decree that Su Jixue be married to the King of War. I hope that you two will be of one mind and serve the country with all your heart..."
Under the cold and sullen expression of Prince Zhan, Eunuch Wei read the imperial edict with trepidation. Before he could even exchange pleasantries, Prince Zhan had already taken the edict and casually handed it to Mo Chuyi to keep.
"Now that the decree has been issued, I am busy with matters in my palace and will not keep Eunuch Wei."
The King of War unceremoniously asked the guest to leave.
*
Although Eunuch Wei's visit to Prince Zhan's Mansion to announce the imperial decree was very low-key, everyone's focus was currently on Prince Zhan's Mansion, so the news was immediately spread to the residences of the aristocratic families in the capital.
And the eldest princess was the first to know.
When she learned that her mother had granted Su Jixue a marriage, she rushed into the palace in anger.
The Imperial Palace
In the imperial study, the sound of cups and plates breaking was terrifying.
"Royal brother, are you being bullied by Jun Wuzui like this?!" The eldest princess looked at Emperor Ming Jun Wuhuan of Dongchu in frustration.
"Jun Lianhua, you are overstepping your bounds!" Emperor Ming looked at his sister and the debris she had just broken with a gloomy face.
"Royal brother, you didn't blame Jun Wuzui for overstepping his bounds, yet now you dare to accuse me of overstepping my bounds! Do you know what he did in the princess's residence, and what he did to my consort?" The eldest princess was furious: "Is he coming back to turn the entire capital upside down?!"
"The safe return of the War King is good for Dongchu." Emperor Ming rubbed his brows, his head hurting a little from the eldest princess's disturbance.
"What good will this do to Dong Chu?! Is it just to boost his prestige and suppress the entire royal family?!" The eldest princess slammed the table in anger and said, "It would be better if he didn't come back!"
"Lianhua!" Emperor Ming's face suddenly darkened, and his royal majesty suddenly rose.
The eldest princess's expression turned grim. "Royal brother, Jun Wuzui's actions against Lianhua were minor, but now the capital is sealed off, and the Jingji Guards are at his disposal. Are you planning to give the throne to him as well?!"
The eldest princess' words were extremely harsh, causing the usually gentle Emperor Ming's expression to darken. "Jun Lianhua, be careful with your words!"
"Be careful with your words?! Has my brother forgotten about the late Crown Prince?!" The Princess lowered her voice and spoke coldly to Emperor Ming: "I don't believe that he doesn't hate you for being innocent!"
Eunuch Feng, who was standing by, held his breath, his face grim, but he finally couldn't hold back his anger and shouted angrily, "Princess, are you using your status as a princess to bully the Emperor?!"
The matter of the former crown prince is a taboo.
No one should mention it.
"My dear companion, let my sister speak." The gentleness and warmth in Emperor Ming's eyes were gone. "I also want to see what my elder sister wants to do."
"Let's not talk about what happened before, but you should know something about the matter between Su Jixue and Jing'er. If the Queen Mother agrees to marry Su Jixue, and King Zhan interferes, what will happen to Jing'er's life!" The eldest princess widened her eyes, which were bloodshot, and said gritting her teeth.
"So, my sister doesn't dare to question the Queen Mother, so she comes to vent her anger on me?" Emperor Ming glanced at the eldest princess coldly and frowned.
"This princess is speaking up for the emperor!" The eldest princess couldn't help but slam the emperor's desk. "He's not even the regent, yet he dares to put pressure on his younger brother. How will the court officials and the people of the world see this?!"
"Now, in Dong Chu, will they listen to Jun Wuzui or the emperor's younger brother?!"
The eldest princess stirred up Emperor Ming's emotions with every word she said.
"Be bold!"
Emperor Ming finally lost his temper and slammed the table: "Jun Lianhua, don't you know who is the Great Wall of Dongchu? Who is the backbone of Dongchu, a country that is weak but not underestimated by the other five countries?!"
"If there is no War King, are you, Jun Lianhua, relying on your iron teeth and steel fangs to resist the iron hoof of Nanqing?!"
