"Even so, your facial features don't seem to be very similar to those of the Crown Prince Chen, but your eyebrows and eyes have a bit of the style of Elder Liu." Shen Tian said, "I have seen Elder Liu's eldest son when he was young, and now everyone says that you are the legitimate grandson of the emperor. Then I can't help but be curious, where is Elder Liu's real eldest son?"

Liu Ziqi tightened his hands slightly on the Chilong armrest. Zitao was the biggest hidden pain in the Liu family. Shen Tian's actions were tantamount to forcing his father to expose his scars in the hall and expose the stupidity of the eldest son of the Liu family to everyone.

Liu Yu really stood up and said, "My son's name is Tao Ge'er. He had a high fever during the palace coup that year..."

"My dear Liu..." Veins popped out on the back of Liu Ziqi's hands and he couldn't help but speak out to interrupt.

Liu Yu looked at him with gentle and tolerant eyes, smiled and said, "No problem, my son had a high fever that year, and I failed to find a doctor for him in time, which resulted in intellectual impairment. My wife's dowry nanny has been taking care of him all these years. Everyone has eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Lord Shen insisted on talking about the resemblance, so I called my son to the palace and let Lord Shen take a look."

After he finished speaking, he said to the young eunuch who was serving in the palace, "Please trouble this eunuch to go to my house and ask my wife to bring Brother Tao to the palace."

The young eunuch looked at Liu Ziqi, who suppressed his anger and said, "Just do as Lord Liu said, and be more amicable."

The young eunuch quickly responded and left.

The corners of Liu Ziqi's lips were almost stretched into a straight line. He sat in the hall and looked at Shen Tian with a cold look.

Shen Tian, ​​however, turned a blind eye and stood firmly in his place, saying in a very calm tone: "I also heard that the third girl of the Liu Mansion is the real orphan of Princess Huaiyang. This is quite puzzling to me. If she is real, then how do we explain the traitor found in the Wu Family Villa?"

He glanced at Liu Yu and said, "Lord Liu is quite capable. He was able to rescue the two sons of Prince Xiachen and Princess Huaiyang, and he was able to keep it a secret for all these years. It's really impressive."

"Lord Shen has a lot of doubts in his mind!" Liu Ziqi sneered, and then said: "Does it mean that I have to open the imperial mausoleum myself, take out the remains of my father and aunt, and use a drop of blood to dissolve the bones, in order to prove the bloodline?"

Shen Tian said calmly: "This is a serious statement. I am only trying to preserve the royal bloodline to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos in the capital to confuse the real with the fake and seize the royal power."

Liu Ziqi took a deep breath and calmed down. He suddenly realized that since he had already sat on the throne, he should not follow Shen Tian's wishes and get involved in endless self-proving.

Shen Tian clearly knew that he had been at odds with Liu Yu on political grounds for many years, and that he had formed a clique for personal gain and colluded with his disciples to commit many crimes. Since he was not Emperor Mingzheng, he would definitely not have a good ending after ascending the throne, so he deliberately made this last attempt.

Success or failure, the outcome will be the same.

After thinking this through, Liu Ziqi suddenly calmed down. He smiled and said, "Lord Shen has good intentions. I remember that your son seems to be working under Ji Wudao. I am preparing to investigate the rebels. I wonder if your son has colluded with Ji Wudao and participated in the rebellion? After the investigation, Lord Shen, please do not bend the law for personal gain."

Shen Tian had been in the political world for many years, so he was naturally not scared by Liu Ziqi's sarcastic words. He smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it, Prince Ye. My son is useless and can't make a name for himself in the army. I sent him back to his hometown to cultivate his character."
