Before long, Li Kou, the commander of the Divine Eagle Guard, arrived at the Qinde Hall, knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Xuanhe, saying, "This servant Li Kou pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuanhe quickly rose and stepped forward to help Li Kou up, saying, "Eunuch, there's no need for such formality. Please rise!"
The fact that Emperor Xuanhe personally went to help a mere eunuch shows how much he valued Li Kou and treated him with great courtesy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Xuanhe come to help him up, Li Kou was filled with trepidation. He quickly stood up and stood to the side, bowing deeply, and said, "I wonder what Your Majesty has summoned this servant for?"
Emperor Xuanhe glanced around, then leaned close to Li Kou's ear and whispered, "Eunuch! Lianxiang wants you to go to Green Ridge and Sheep Head Town to investigate Wu Tianjiao's background!"
"Oh!" Li Kou's expression changed slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Your Majesty's command is my duty!"
Emperor Xuanhe pondered for a moment and said, "Remember, this matter is a top secret of the royal family. No one except you can know about it, especially Wu Wudi. Once you have investigated Wu Tianjiao's background, return immediately and report to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Kou respectfully asked, frowning with a face full of doubt, "Your Majesty! You ordered me to investigate Wu Tianjiao's background. What aspect of his life do you wish to know?"
"Everything about him!"
Emperor Xuanhe said gravely, "I want to know, is he the offspring of the village girl I favored in Green Ridge sixteen years ago? If so, then he is of the royal bloodline, my prince?"
"Ah!" Li Kou was stunned, his eyes widening in astonishment. "Your Majesty! You mean... Wu Tianjiao is your prince?"
Emperor Xuanhe shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's still unclear. I only have suspicions. As for whether it's true or not, we await your detailed investigation and verification, Your Excellency!"
"That servant will certainly investigate thoroughly!"
Li Kou paused, then continued, "Your Majesty! To find out whether Wu Tianjiao is your heir outside the palace, there's no need for such elaborate methods. This servant has a way to let Your Majesty know quickly whether Wu Tianjiao is Your Majesty's prince."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe's expression shifted, and he quickly said, "What method? Please speak frankly, Eunuch!"
"Blood test for kinship!"
Li Kou said solemnly, "We only need to see if Wu Tianjiao's blood can mix with Your Majesty's blood to know if he is Your Majesty's prince. If it can, then he is Your Majesty's prince; if not, then he is not!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe's eyes lit up, and his imperial face lit up with great pleasure. He said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about the blood test for kinship? However, this matter is of great importance. Before we figure out Wu Tianjiao's background, we should not let that child know about his origins, lest we attract Wu Wudi's attention!"
"What's so difficult about that!"
Li Kou said calmly, "Just have this servant call Wu Tianjiao in, then subdue him, and take a drop of his blood. I guarantee he won't know a thing. When this servant arrives, he'll be outside the palace gate. Your Majesty, please wait, this servant will bring him in!"
As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the hall. Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth, about to say something like "Don't hurt him," but before he could finish speaking, Li Kou had already disappeared.
Wu Tianjiao was waiting outside the palace gates, unaware that his true identity was quietly being revealed and his life was beginning to change. He leaned lazily against a red pillar in the corridor in front of the Qinde Hall, squinting at the palace maids passing by, completely absorbed in his own world. He thought to himself, "There are so many beauties in the palace. The old emperor is all alone, and he hasn't cultivated the Heavenly Cauldron Divine Skill. Can he possibly enjoy them all? Rather than letting them waste their time as decorations in the palace, I'd rather use them as my Yin Cauldron to cultivate my Heavenly Cauldron Divine Skill."
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him intently. He was startled and turned around to look, only to find that the person staring at him was none other than Eunuch Guo.
Wu Tianjiao composed himself, glanced at himself, and examined himself for a while. Finding nothing amiss, he asked, "Eunuch Guo! Is there... something wrong with me?"
"Heh heh..." Eunuch Guo chuckled, then said sarcastically, "That's not right! Your Highness, you can't let His Majesty's favor go to your head! Look at the guards around you, which one of them serves like you? You sit and stand slouching, leaning against the pillar. If His Majesty sees you like that, he'll be displeased!"
Wu Tianjiao quickly stood up straight and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is right. However, this is my first day on duty, and I am unfamiliar with the palace rules. Please give me some guidance!"
"You're too kind, Your Highness!"
Eunuch Guo chuckled strangely, "Your Highness, you are the most favored person His Majesty has ever seen. You must perform well and not disappoint His Majesty's trust!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wu Tianjiao readily agreed, but inwardly he was unconvinced, thinking to himself, "If the old emperor knew I'd cuckolded him, I wonder if he'd still trust me? He'd probably chop my head off immediately!"
Just then, Eunuch Li emerged from the Qinde Hall, walked slowly to him, and said with a smile, "Golden Knife Prince Consort, His Majesty summons you in!"
Wu Tianjiao frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Coming out one minute, going in the next, going in and coming out again, it's endless! It's not like I'm having sex with a woman, going in and out like that, what do they take me for!"
Though slightly displeased, Wu Tianjiao dared not show it, and said with a smile, "Yes! I'll go in right away!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the Hall of Diligent Virtue. Seeing this, Li Kou followed behind him and entered the Hall of Diligent Virtue together.
Upon entering the Qinde Hall, Wu Tianjiao looked up and saw Emperor Xuanhe sitting behind his desk. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! What brings you here, Your Majesty...?" Before he could finish speaking, a sudden numbness shot through his back, and a surge of dark energy invaded his body. Wu Tianjiao was shocked and cried out, "Not good..." Before he could react, before his mind could process what was happening, everything went black, the world spun around him, and he collapsed onto the soundboard, instantly losing consciousness.
The person who ambushed Wu Tianjiao was none other than Eunuch Li Kou. With his skill, he attacked Wu Tianjiao from behind, catching him completely off guard. Wu Tianjiao didn't even have time to react before he was knocked unconscious.
Upon seeing Wu Tianjiao fall to the ground, Emperor Xuanhe was greatly alarmed and cried out, "Don't hurt him!"
Li Kou, upon hearing this, smiled leisurely and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant merely pressed his pressure points; he will awaken on his own within an hour!"
As he spoke, he picked up Wu Tianjiao and placed him on a chair on the side of the hall.
Emperor Xuanhe felt somewhat relieved. He rose and walked to Wu Tianjiao's side, carefully examining him. With trembling hands, he stroked Wu Tianjiao's face and said, "If he is truly the son of our emperor, then it is truly a blessing from heaven that our royal bloodline has not been cut off, and that the empire has a successor!"
Li Kou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! There's no time to lose, please begin the blood test immediately!"
As he spoke, he took a white jade bowl and placed it on the stool next to Wu Tianjiao. He then took Wu Tianjiao's right hand, took out a silver needle, and pricked the tip of his middle finger. Normally, if a needle is pricked in a person's finger, the blood would not flow. However, when Wu Tianjiao's finger was pricked, blood did ooze out, but only a tiny bit, and it quickly stopped.
Seeing this, Li Kou was slightly taken aback. He inserted another needle, but the result was the same, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Emperor Xuanhe was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Kou glanced at the small, healed wound on Wu Tianjiao's finger and said, "His constitution is quite special; the wound is too small to bleed!"
"Oh!" Emperor Xuanhe was also surprised upon seeing this, and asked, "Then what should we do?"
After a moment's hesitation, Li Kou changed his method from inserting the silver needle to drawing a line. He made a deep cut on Wu Tianjiao's right middle finger, causing blood to gush out and drip like dewdrops into the bowl, its vibrant red standing out against the clear water. However, just as before, the wound healed quickly after the first drop of blood, and the bleeding stopped.
Seeing this, Li Kou was secretly amazed, thinking to himself, "What a freak!"
He turned to Emperor Xuanhe and said, "Your Majesty! You may now drip your blood!"
As the moment approached, Emperor Xuanhe was overcome with excitement. He took the silver needle from Li Kou's hand, his hands trembling. He tried twice but failed to draw blood. On his second attempt, the needle fell to the ground. With a sudden resolve, he bit his right index finger hard, drawing blood. Emperor Xuanhe quickly placed his finger on the rim of a bowl, and the blood dripped into it… Two drops of blood, unusually bright red, starkly reflected in the clear water of the white jade bowl. Concerning the royal bloodline, both Emperor Xuanhe and Li Kou were tense, holding their breath, their four eyes fixed on the two drops of blood in the bowl, unblinking. Emperor Xuanhe, in particular, was extremely nervous… After an unknown amount of time, Wu Tianjiao slowly awoke. Remembering the ambush, his first reaction was to jump up, only to find himself lying on a bed in a side room, momentarily stunned.
"Your Highness! You're awake!"
A high-pitched voice rang out in the room. The voice was very familiar, and Wu Tianjiao knew immediately who it was: Eunuch Guo.
Wu Tianjiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged eunuch sitting on a recliner by the window. It was none other than Eunuch Guo!
Wu Tianjiao looked around, completely bewildered, and asked Eunuch Guo, "Eunuch! How did I get here? Where is this place?"
Eunuch Guo chuckled and said, "This is naturally my room, Your Highness. You fainted in the Qinde Hall, so His Majesty had the guards carry you to my room to rest!"
"She's passed out!"
Wu Tianjiao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, exclaimed in astonishment, "That's not right! Father-in-law! I remember... I think I was ambushed and knocked unconscious!"
Eunuch Guo's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! In His Majesty's Hall of Diligent Virtue, who would dare to ambush or assassinate His Majesty's personal guard? Your Highness, I think you didn't sleep well last night and are just exhausted!"
Seeing Eunuch Guo's serious expression and cold tone, Wu Tianjiao was taken aback, muttering to himself, "This is strange. I clearly felt someone attack me from behind, so how did I just faint? What on earth happened?"
Thinking of this, Wu Tianjiao tried circulating his internal energy. His internal energy flowed freely and smoothly without any discomfort or injury, but he felt increasingly confused.
Eunuch Guo rose from the reclining chair and stood up, smiling broadly at Wu Tianjiao, saying, "Your Highness, His Majesty was very worried about your sudden fainting! He even specially summoned the imperial physician to examine you. The physician said that you were overworked, hadn't slept well, and were feeling listless, which is why you fainted! Look how long you've been sleeping; it's already evening. If you've rested enough, you can leave and go back to your residence!"
Wu Tianjiao was completely confused and baffled. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I really fainted on my own, and wasn't ambushed? No, wait! Could I be mistaken?"
Caught off guard by this inexplicable event, Wu Tianjiao was completely bewildered. Dizzy and disoriented, he groggily got out of bed, only to realize he hadn't even taken off his boots, and his waist token and Dragon Soul Sword were still hanging at his waist. He wondered, "Did I really just faint? That shouldn't be happening!"
