Chapter 382: Sleeping Beauty's Poison
There was silence in the hall.
Su Chenyu looked at Master Chang kneeling in the middle of the hall, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. The birthday gift she had prepared was finally given away.
Didn't Feng Xuanqi want to pave the way for Feng Shuyu? Feng Huailue was no longer a threat, and now that he had handed Feng Zhaolin's biggest handle to Feng Xuanqi, Feng Xuanqi should be grateful to him.
Feng Zhuohua looked at Master Chang and recalled the scene when he persuaded Master Chang to come forward that day.
"Princess Zhuohua, this is a royal secret. If you tell it in front of so many people, what should you do if the emperor gets angry and embarrassed?"
"Master Chang, you also know that this is a royal secret. If you tell the emperor privately, the emperor will do it for the sake of the royal family's reputation. You know what will happen, right?"
Taifu Chang felt a tightness in his heart. If Feng Xuanqi wanted to protect the royal family's reputation, the most likely thing he would do was to kill his entire family to keep the secret.
On the contrary, if he revealed this secret in public, once something happened to him, everyone would suspect that it was Feng Xuan's doing. In this way, the Chang family would be safer.
And after hearing this secret, Master Chang knew that he would never be able to get off Feng Zhuohua's boat again: "Princess, why do you want to save the Chang family?"
"It's not rescue, it's cooperation. You expose Feng Zhaolin's life experience on behalf of the palace, and the palace will protect your Chang family from being implicated." Feng Zhuohua looked at Master Chang, "Master Chang, if you want to protect the Chang family, no matter what happens on the birthday, you can't back down."
Because of Feng Zhuohua's words, Taifu Chang knelt in the palace today. No matter what, he could not be timid: "Your Majesty, I was close to the Third Prince before, and I accidentally discovered this matter. I dare not hide it. I hope Your Majesty will investigate it carefully!"
After a long while, Feng Xuanyi spoke up: "Master Chang, if the Third Prince is my biological son, it would not be too much to exterminate all nine generations of your Chang family."
Master Chang was confused for a moment, thinking that he could only gamble once: "Then I, this old minister, will stake the lives and property of the entire Chang family, and will not allow the royal bloodline to be mixed up."
As this was an important matter concerning the royal bloodline, the ministers of Western Xia did not dare to say a word, unlike the envoys from the other three countries.
Su Chenyu said, "The Chang family has a profound reputation in Xixia. Today, Taifu Chang questioned the bloodline of the Third Prince. If the King of Xixia cannot clear the Third Prince's name, I am afraid that there will be many more rumors about the Third Prince's life experience in the future. Since the envoys of the three countries are all here today, why don't we all be witnesses and test the blood relationship!"
If it was before, Rong Zhang would definitely not agree with Su Chenyu, but now that he hated Xixia, he would not miss this opportunity: "Princess Fengyi is right. Since everyone is skeptical about what Master Chang said, why not test it on the spot."
Feng Zhaolin was unwilling to do so: "Your Majesty, I am the prince of Xixia. If someone questions my bloodline, Your Majesty will have to test my blood with me. Wouldn't that be a joke? How can the Feng royal family still be noble?"
Concubine Nian also came to her senses: "Your Majesty, Taifu Chang had a conflict with Zhaolin before, and deliberately said these words in front of everyone to harm Zhaolin. You can't believe what the traitor said and doubt me and Zhaolin."
"Your Majesty, the harem is strictly guarded. How can an outsider enter? Even if Concubine Nian has the guts, such an affair with a foreign man would never happen."
When Concubine De said this, it seemed that she was helping Concubine Nian, but in fact, she was stepping on Concubine Nian.
These words also reminded Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuanyi thought about the affair between the Queen Mother and Bai Peng. It was not impossible for the people in the harem to have an affair with an outsider. Feng Xuanyi was suspicious. When Taifu Chang mentioned this matter, he had already suspected it. Now, after hearing what Concubine De said, he became even more suspicious.
But now there are so many people here, even if Feng Xuanqi becomes suspicious, he cannot perform a blood test at this time.
When Feng Xuanqi was about to say something, Feng Zhuohua spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have discovered something strange recently. I hope Your Majesty can make the decision."
