"Your Majesty, since everyone is watching you, why don't you say a few words?"

Li Shengyuan said,

"I remember that when Yu'er was sent to Qi, he was still very young, and I don't remember his appearance very clearly,"

"Besides, I'm away from home most of the year, and you've been the one taking care of the children. I don't know the details, but you should remember them."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling silently clenched her hands, her eyes shifting uncertainly.

This time,

He was no longer confident.

He only remembered that

The real Crown Prince, Li Changyu, once said that his mother didn't love him, but only favored the eldest prince.

Most of the time, he was raised by a nanny.

The old woman also passed away less than a year after he was sent to the State of Qi because of her advanced age.

He rarely moved around in the mansion, usually playing in his own courtyard. Because of his inferiority complex, he often kept his head down, so no one really noticed him as the "young prince".

That's why Xie Ling's subsequent impersonation seemed so natural and without any resistance.

However, he has been overlooking a crucial piece of information.

That was Empress Rouci.

She was, after all, the Crown Prince's biological mother.

Even if you don't care about her normally, she is still your own child, and it's not even a question of whether she has the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Her words alone have a tremendous influence.

After all, who can question the words of an empress, a mother?

Even Li Shengyuan frowned, his gaze complex as he stared at her thoughtfully.

But then Empress Rouci smiled gently, her eyes changing from cold and fierce to calm and gentle, returning to her usual spring-like demeanor: "Ache, you are joking. The Crown Prince was born from my ten months of pregnancy, how could I not recognize him?"

"If he is not the real crown prince, are the Empress and the Emperor fools?"

"If you still have any doubts, I will just say one point."

Empress Rouci smiled faintly.

"I remember when the Crown Prince was born, I held him and noticed a black mole on the third vertebra at the back of his neck."

“This is the mark of my son. If you do not believe me, you can have someone examine it.”

Upon hearing this,

Mi Shan immediately looked at Xie Ling.

His face changed instantly; his already pale skin looked even paler, as if he had been frozen for years and had lost his soul.

"Oh no...it seems the Empress is..."

Mi Shan's heart pounded, and her face instantly turned almost transparent.

"Crown Prince, didn't you hear what the Empress Dowager said?" the eldest prince said coldly. "Why haven't you made your move yet?"

"Isn't it inappropriate to take off your clothes in this kind of situation?" someone said.

"That's right, and there are so many women present."

"I advise all of you who are questioning this not to go too far. If it weren't for your endless gossip, the Crown Prince wouldn't have been forced to prove his innocence."

"For no reason at all, he has been the crown prince for so many years, and now you're jumping out to say he's a fake. Isn't this a classic case of going too far and plotting against us?"

"Stop arguing," the eldest prince said coldly. "In the end, it's all because there are still people who are not convinced. Your Highness, the situation is special now. I believe that even if you take off your clothes in the main hall, no one will say anything. Besides, it's not like you're going to strip naked."

"If you're worried about the presence of concubines, then just have them all leave!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shengyuan frowned and waved his hand.

The women present all turned away. "Is this enough?" the eldest prince said.

The Emperor's actions clearly show that he is on my side.

Xie Ling's killing intent grew increasingly intense.

If Li Shengyuan hadn't possessed an immortal body, he wouldn't have been in this predicament. He'd gone to such lengths to use a self-inflicted injury, yet this man remained unmoved.

It seems he's a cold-blooded animal.

In this world, perhaps nothing can sway him except for power, desire, and immortality.

"Take it off, let me see it, and let those people understand what's going on."

Xie Ling's face was cold; he hadn't yet figured out how to respond.

There probably wasn't a mole at all on the third vertebra below the back of his neck... The Empress wanted to use this trick to kill him and make all his previous efforts go to waste.

In this world,

He could control everything except the malice directed at the original crown prince's biological mother!

However, Xie Ling now had no choice but to agree.

Xu Ninghai had already come to his side.

Be careful and cautious when you start.

Unbutton his coat slightly, pulling it down from the back of his neck to reveal a section of pale skin.

Counting the joints, one, two, three.

I touched it.

Upon closer inspection.

"how?"

Li Shengyuan was startled and quickly stood up.

Xu Ninghai remained silent, his expression grave, and gently pushed Xie Ling to the center of the main hall.

Empress Rouci wore a strange smile, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Xie Ling's face turned slightly pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Everyone held their breath and turned their attention to him.

But now he has his back to everyone, showing his back to the emperor and empress.

Mi Shan couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly glanced at the scene. She believed that many people present had done the same thing as her.

Li Shengyuan was startled, frowned, and then strode towards the prince.

He grabbed Xie Ling by both shoulders!

Li Xuanche was overjoyed, a smile appearing on his lips. His father was furious!

Very good!

Xie Ling's identity as a fake crown prince must have been exposed!

"The back of your neck..." The emperor froze, choked with emotion, and then pulled Xie Ling into his arms tightly. "My child, it is your father who has wronged you and made you suffer!"
