"Father has a half-moon birthmark on his right arm. Only those close to him know about this. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the palace to verify it."
Jiang Jinyan frowned and couldn't help but hesitate again.
The expression and aura of this "Jiang Xiancao" in front of him when he spoke were too similar to those of the Ninth Prince. Moreover, she dared to use the emperor's dragon body to make a fuss. What if it was true——
"Father does have a birthmark on his body."
Jiang Xiancao's calm voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Tingsi stared at her intently, sneered and questioned, "This matter is a royal secret. I have already revealed it to prove my identity. Are you following suit and trying to get away with it?"
Everyone in the Jiang family also looked at Jiang Xiancao. Under their different looks, she said calmly:
"This prince has already investigated your background. Before returning to the Marquis Wenning's mansion, you were selling wine for your adoptive parents on the outskirts of the city. Several eunuchs in charge of purchasing goods in the palace often went to your stall to drink. Although these people didn't serve the emperor, they were accustomed to flattering those who served him personally. They heard about the emperor's birthmark from someone, and then accidentally mentioned it while drunk, so it's not surprising that you overheard it."
Shen Tingsi suddenly curled his lips into a smile.
Seeing his confident smile, Jiang Jinyan frowned and said, "Your Highness is right. Why are you laughing?"
Chen Tingsi laughed and said, "I laughed at her for being so clever, but she fell into my trap and showed her true colors."
Now even Jiang Huaizhu couldn't help but ask him, "Stop being so mysterious. When did you set the trap?"
After seeing through her true face, Shen Tingsi was extremely disappointed with her. He didn't even bother to look at her at this moment. He just stared straight into Jiang Xiancao's eyes, "Because that birthmark is not on my father's right arm! I just said that to get you to agree, and you really took the bait."
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiancao again.
Jiang Jinyan's heart was shaken.
He thought about how the Ninth Prince said after waking up that he would thoroughly investigate the incident of Zhu'er falling into the water, and suddenly became concerned about Jiang Xiancao's health, and his attitude towards Zhu'er was completely different from before. He felt that this person was more and more suspicious. It was really as if Jiang Xiancao had possessed Shen Tingsi and wanted to take charge of things for himself.
When he spoke again, his tone became three times colder and harder:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. Please go to the guest room and rest first—"
His words were interrupted again by Jiang Xiancao:
"I just said that my father does have a birthmark. When did I say it was on his right arm?"
Chen Tingsi sneered, "After being exposed by this king, you changed your story. This time, I won't tell you, but I'll ask you to tell me where your father's birthmark is located."
