Hua Zhongyao retorted, "How do you know?"
Qin Shou was suddenly at a loss for words.
How did he know? The black ash on the bamboo was clearly soot from the bottom of a pot! It was still smoking, which meant it had just been pulled out of the stove!
Qin Shou began to doubt whether this old man really was Emperor Shun, Yao Chonghua or not!
Logically, Lady Xiang Bamboo was created from the tears of the Xiao Queen and Xiang Queen as they mourned for their husband day and night. Eventually, their tears dried up, and they began to weep blood, which fell onto bamboo and transformed into Lady Xiang Bamboo! This bamboo contained the love and yearning of the two queens for Emperor Shun, a true testament of devoted love!
If Hua Zhongyao really was Yao Chonghua, there was no way he would not be moved by such affection, so how could he possibly use it as firewood?
