In this dead silence, some are happy and some are sad.

However, Ruan Ningyun was puzzled by Su Bei’s calmness. Shouldn’t he beg for mercy at this time?

She wanted to see how long Su Bei could hold out! When Chu Younan came in, his face was not very good. He first glanced at Su Bei, and then at Ruan Ningyun. He looked at Su Bei for about three or two breaths, and at Ruan Ningyun for about ten breaths.

This made Ruan Ningyun very excited. She had finally won the emperor's favor. This was just the beginning.

"Emperor, look at this!" Empress Dowager Yao pointed angrily at the bowl of water used in the blood test to identify relatives.

Chu Younan glanced at it as he passed by, then turned around and asked, "Did the Queen Mother perform a blood test to confirm the eldest prince's kinship?"

Although the person who invited him didn't dare to say it, but seeing Xiao Han and Xiao Baozi were there, Chu Younan had already guessed it.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" Queen Mother Yao was so angry that she almost ascended to heaven.

Ruan Ningyun also fanned the flames, "Don't worry, mother. The emperor will handle it properly. This is a matter concerning the royal bloodline, and it is of utmost importance!"

Originally, this matter was just a matter of Chu Younan's words, but Gu Rui interrupted at this time, "Your Majesty, don't take this matter too seriously. After all, if you want to live a decent life, you have to wear a little green on your head!"

Su Bei held his forehead. This guy should be kind, but can't you shut up at this time? If he hadn't said this, Queen Mother Yao wouldn't have been so angry. Now that he said this, Queen Mother Yao almost fainted.

Ruan Ningyun hurried forward to act as her filial daughter-in-law, calming her down and serving her tea, while blaming herself all the time, "It's all because of my unfilial nature that I came to disturb my mother. If she gets angry and does something bad, I will die to apologize!"

At this time, Su Bei actually wanted to make Queen Mother Yao faint so that he could see how Ruan Ningyun would apologize by dying.

But Chu Younan was a little anxious. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, mother. Listen to me. This child is not mine. I have known about this for a long time..."

"You knew he was still keeping her?!" Queen Mother Yao came back to life upon hearing this and loudly rebuked, "The royal bloodline must not be mixed, this child cannot be kept, and this unfaithful woman cannot be kept either!"

Ruan Ningyun was even more proud, "Your Majesty, this is no small matter..."

"It's really not a small matter!" Chu Younan interrupted her angrily, "This child's father is not me, and this child's mother is not the queen. He is my adopted child, the flesh and blood of the Miao king!"

At this point, Ruan Ningyun couldn't help but tremble, "Miao...Miao King?"

She looked at the seemingly powerless man, and her soul almost flew away.

Xiao Han then spoke: "I came here to take the child away. I wanted to catch up with my old friend first, but was 'invited' to the palace by this lady."

"You, you, you... this is impossible..." Ruan Ningyun was incredulous. "If you were the Miao King, how could you be brought to the palace by my people? Why did you just let us do whatever we wanted without saying a word?"

"I thought something had happened in the palace. As a close friend of the emperor, I must go to the palace first to take a look." At this moment, Xiao Han's aura was fully open, not as dim as before, and inexplicably exuded a sense of deterrence. "As for the blood test, I just want to see what tricks you can come up with!"

The other half of Ruan Ningyun's soul almost flew away. She quickly hugged Queen Mother Yao's thigh and said, "Mother, I am also thinking about the royal heir. If the Queen had told me about this earlier, it would not have developed like this."

Su Bei then slowly spoke: "I just said it, but none of you listened."

She did say it, but it was so mild that it was ignored.

Ruan Ningyun was speechless, but Queen Mother Yao said in disbelief: "Emperor, is this true? Don't tell me you are too partial to the Queen and that's why you said that on purpose."

"Of course it's true. Mother, don't worry too much. If the Queen is fickle, I won't keep her around." When Chu Younan said this, he glanced at Ruan Ningyun.

Ruan Ningyun only felt a cold light sweeping past her, and half of her body felt cold.

She had been kidnapped by thieves and was almost raped. Why did Chu Younan look as if he knew something?

Impossible Impossible!

Danzhu promised not to tell anyone and beat up the thief. The thief probably wouldn't sell him out. After all, this was not a glorious thing.

Just as she was complaining in her heart, she heard Chu Younan say, "The reason I didn't come here just now was because I was dealing with the case of the commander-in-chief's son. That guy was rampant in the capital and I heard that he harmed many decent women."

When Ruan Ningyun heard this, some images seemed to flash through her mind.

The guy who had touched her that day seemed to be shouting, "Whose son is he? Whose son is he?"

It seems to be saying something about supervising... directing...

Ruan Ningyun couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

After all, it was a family matter, and Chu Younan didn't want to make it public. He said in a deep voice: "The truth has been revealed, let's just disperse!"

Let’s go. Today was too thrilling. Queen Mother Yao felt like she was experiencing life and death all over again.

The way everyone in the Cining Palace looked at Su Bei also returned to the way it was before.

But Chu Youyang refused to do that. He grabbed Gu Rui by the collar and shouted, "We can't leave! I have something else to do!"

The palace maids and eunuchs who had just walked away stopped in their tracks. Prince Jin was holding Tianshi by his collar. Could it be that he was also being cuckolded and was caught red-handed?

Chu Younan said in a deep voice, "Let him go first and then talk!"

“I won’t let him go!” Chu Youyang’s neck stiffened. “Why should I let him go? Let him do whatever he wants? Brother, Queen Mother, this man is too shameless. He actually… actually made an appointment with my mother in private!”

After these words were spoken, everyone held their foreheads in their hands.

Even if this happened, it cannot be said in public. Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Jin consider the reputation of Concubine Mei? Especially since Prince Miao is still here, wouldn't this bring shame to Miaojiang? Queen Mother Yao quickly rebuked everyone, "Get out! Anyone who dares to say anything will be beaten to death! Prince Miao, please move away, this is our family matter."

Xiao Han also wanted to move, but Gu Rui shouted: "This is not a family matter, this is the right of all women in the world! They also have the right to pursue happiness! King Miao, do you think it is or is not?"

When it comes to women's rights, Xiao Han believes she has a say.

He had experienced Yaruo's rights before, and Miaojiang was a country where men and women were equal, which was known to everyone in the world.

"This... women do have the right to pursue happiness." Xiao Han said seriously. But people like Yaruo are too free.

This sentence hit the mark exactly what Gu Rui wanted, and also touched the heart of Queen Mother Yao.

Queen Mother Yao also wanted to pursue happiness, but she was the queen mother. If she remarried, wouldn’t the whole world change its name as well?

Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Youyang became anxious, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother! Do you think he is right? This is a matter concerning a woman's chastity!"

After saying that, he looked at Chu Younan for help.

Chu Younan looked at Su Bei. For some reason, everyone's attention was focused on Su Bei again.

Even though Gu Rui just did more harm than good, at least he did his best, right?
