Chapter 53: Test Again and Again
After Su Cen Gu finished speaking, the imperial study fell into an eerie silence.
In the end, it was Emperor Jing of Wei who spoke first. He did not blame Prince Xin and his wife first, but looked at Baili Yanqing: "Prince consort, where did you catch Chen Laifu in the first place? Who does this Nanny Gui belong to?"
Baili Yanqing said in a normal tone: "Your Majesty, Nanny Gui is indeed the personal nanny of Princess Xin."
Emperor Jing of Wei threw the agarwood beads onto the table, showing his anger: "Why did you hide this from me?"
"Tell the emperor, then what will the emperor do?" Baili Yanqing asked calmly, "Suspicion of Prince Xin, brothers quarreling with each other?"
"Then how can you guarantee that Prince Xin is completely unaware of this?"
"Chen Laifu has been with the emperor for decades, and you even promoted him to be the chief eunuch. Do we have to doubt you, the emperor?"
"How dare you!" Emperor Jing of Wei pointed at Baili Yanqing, "I am the emperor of Dayu, how could I possibly betray Dayu?"
"Prince Xin is the prince of Dayu, how could he betray Dayu so easily?"
The two were in a standoff, neither of them was willing to give in. Emperor Jing of Wei changed the subject: "Chen Laifu kidnapped Fengyi. Don't you worry about Fengyi's safety? If all this was masterminded by Prince Xin, you are putting Fengyi in danger."
I have never seen Emperor Jing of Wei care about me so much before, but now he is using me as a scapegoat. Su Chenyu suppressed her nausea and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that after the late Crown Prince passed away, Prince Xin and Prince Ding were the two princes most likely to inherit the throne. However, they asked to be crowned as princes, lived far away in their fiefdoms, and never asked about what was going on in the capital. If they really had the intention of being disloyal, why would they have endured it for so many years?"
At this point, her eyes swept over Prince Xin and his wife, "Your Majesty, even your son understands the situation, why can't you understand it? You believed the false accusations of villains, got caught up in internal strife, and ended up doing what Xixia wanted."
"Prince Xin, Princess Xin, Su Ceng Gu is your daughter. If she falsely accuses you of having an affair with Xixia, what harm will it cause to her?" Emperor Jing of Wei thought for a moment and asked Prince Xin and his wife.
Princess Xin then stepped forward and told Nanny Gui how she had replaced her daughter.
After listening to this, Emperor Jing of Wei only asked one question: "Are you sure she is not your real daughter?"
Su Cenggu immediately cried to Emperor Jing of Wei: "Your Majesty, I am their biological daughter. They have disowned me in order to cover up their crimes. If you don't believe me, you can use blood test on the spot."
Emperor Jing of Wei thought it made sense and nodded: "Tu, then let's do a blood test in public."
In order to prevent any mistakes in the blood test, even the water was checked.
When she saw the blood mixing, Princess Xin was a little confused.
If Su Cen Gu is her biological child, then it means that Nanny Gui's story about replacing a daughter is fake.
This also means that Emperor Jing of Wei will no longer believe anything the couple says.
Emperor Jing of Wei thought that Prince Xin and Princess Xin were deceiving him: "What else do you have to say now?"
"Royal brother, there must be some hidden story in this. The princess will not be wrong." Prince Xin still chose to believe Princess Xin at this time.
"Someone come!" Emperor Jing of Wei had completely lost his patience. Su Chenyu suddenly spoke up, interrupting what he was about to say: "Your Majesty, since you want to do a blood test, let's do another person's test."
