Chapter 666: Could it be... a case of a cat replacing a prince?
"Because..., the Second Prince and the Crown Princess are mixing up the royal bloodline."
Jiang Wan tilted her head and smiled, and her words were like thunder, shocking everyone present!
"Jiang Wan, stop talking nonsense!"
The Fifth Princess was shocked, thinking that Jiang Wan was saying that her second brother was not her father's biological child, and she argued anxiously:
"My second brother and my father are cut from the same cloth, how could they not be father and son?"
"Yes, Jiang Wan, you are talking nonsense. I will definitely punish you!"
The Queen Mother had a bad feeling in her heart, but the first thing she did was to scold Jiang Wan.
Song Jiuyuan protected Jiang Wan behind him and said slowly, "Wan Wan hasn't finished speaking yet.
Why are you in such a hurry? Are you feeling guilty?!"
"Empress Dowager, please listen to Miss Jiang's words for now."
As the head of all officials, Mr. Chu has always upheld the principle of fairness, and everyone is willing to listen to him.
The Queen Mother and the Second Prince's faction were almost pissed off.
The second prince was so angry that he wanted to strangle Jiang Wan to death with his own hands.
He shouldn't have believed in this devil Song Jiuyuan!
"You all have misunderstood. The Second Prince is naturally the bloodline of the late emperor."
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "I'm talking about the eldest grandson of the Second Prince. He is not of royal blood."
"Jiang Wan, you not only slandered me, but also slandered my son!"
The second prince’s eyes were bloodshot. His son was the emperor’s eldest grandson and the emperor’s favorite.
It was because of him that he was able to fight. Now Jiang Wan said that he was not his son? It was ridiculous!
"Whether I have slandered Your Highness or not, you will know when you summon the princess to the palace."
Jiang Wan was not in a hurry, which made the Second Prince seem a little guilty.
"Grandmother, she slandered us!"
The second prince was very sure that his Li'er looked so much like him, there was no way he could not be his own flesh and blood.
Just as the Queen Mother was about to reprimand Jiang Wan, Old Chu stood up again.
"Empress Dowager, confusing the royal bloodline is no small matter. If the Second Prince really did this, he is indeed not qualified to inherit the throne."
It seems that the late emperor had a good reason for choosing the eighth prince.
The ministers were embarrassed when they heard this.
In the past, the Eighth Prince was alone and weak, and no one cared about them, but now Song Jiuyuan is standing behind him.
But the second prince is not bad either. If the empress dowager supports him, what does it matter even if there is an imperial decree?
The situation was a bit stalemate, and at this moment, a series of clattering sounds were heard.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Sheng Yi being pushed over, with his hands slightly bowed.
"Sorry, I'm a little late, but I'll bring you here."
When everyone was confused, a man got off the carriage not far behind him.
It was the Second Prince’s wife, and she was holding a baby in her arms.
Facing the complicated looks from the crowd, she subconsciously thought that His Highness had succeeded.
So the Second Prince's wife said excitedly: "Your Highness, General Sheng asked you to let me enter the palace. Are we going to live in the East Palace?"
Everyone:!!!
The Second Prince's face was distorted, and the Queen Mother was also nervous.
She gradually realized that perhaps what Jiang Wan said was true, otherwise she would not dare to be so blatant.
"Royal Grandmother."
The second prince asked the Queen Mother for help in a panic. He suddenly felt unsure.
"The princess has arrived at the perfect time."
Elder Chu did not give the Queen Mother and the others a chance to react, “Your Highness is a prince and cannot be slandered.
For the sake of your highness's reputation, please prove your innocence!"
"Your Highness, please prove your innocence!"
"Your Highness, please prove your innocence!"
“…”
With Old Chu taking the lead, almost all the neutral people knelt down, and only half of them were left struggling.
The Second Prince's wife then realized that something was wrong. Didn't her husband accept the imperial edict of succession?
"Your Highness."
The Second Prince's wife walked towards the Second Prince in panic, trying to seek some sense of security.
The second prince clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at the second prince's wife.
"Tell me... Is this child mine?"
"Second brother, the children you raise may not be your own, but they are more powerful than your younger brother."
Since he couldn't become the emperor anyway, the Sixth Prince gave up and mocked people without hesitation.
His words made the Second Prince's wife turn pale, and she didn't even dare to look up at the Second Prince, obviously feeling guilty.
"Bitch!"
The Second Prince was no fool, so he naturally realized that things were not simple. He wanted to strangle the Second Prince's wife, but Qiu Yan quickly pulled her away.
"Your Highness, please hurry up and do the blood test. Your Highness is still waiting for the imperial decree."
Jiang Wan's casual words reminded everyone, and everyone looked over.
Then he noticed that the Eighth Prince was standing there calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Such a dignified demeanor, how can it be compared to the timid look of being locked up in the harem.
It turns out that the Eighth Prince is also hiding his abilities!
"Xiao Ba, no one can beat you in acting skills."
The Second Prince gritted his teeth and said this, angrily to the Second Prince's wife:
"I'll give you another chance. Is this child mine?"
"Your Highness."
The Second Prince's wife lowered her usually proud head when she was looked at by everyone's murderous gazes.
She looked at the Second Prince's wife and the Queen Mother pleadingly, "Grandmother, Chu'er is your granddaughter.
Xiangya, go to the mansion and bring the eldest girl over."
Yes, the little girl is indeed the second prince’s descendant. After all, she only exchanged one of the daughters.
"Yes, Chu'er looks exactly like me, how could she not be my daughter?"
The second prince's eyes sparkled. These twins were born to her, so they were naturally his children.
After hearing this, everyone became suspicious again.
What is going on?
"Could it be... a cat-for-prince replacement?"
I don't know who said this, but the Second Prince's wife's heart was beating wildly with fear.
"impossible!"
The one who spoke for them was Minister Jiang. He glanced at Jiang Wan and said loudly:
"Everyone, listen to me, Jiang Wan is my daughter, but she hates our Jiang family.
It must be because her sister Jiang Qing entered the Second Prince's residence, and he deliberately framed the Second Prince. "
Yes, that must be the case. Jiang Wan is afraid of their revenge.
He was unwilling to admit that Jiang Wan had chosen the wrong person.
However, because of his words, the officials looked at Jiang Wan with somewhat subtle eyes.
"What exactly does Jiang Wan mean by this?"
"What Lord Jiang said makes some sense. How can we not believe it?"
"But I have seen the little girl in the Second Prince's house, and she does look very similar to the Second Prince."
“…”
"Jiang Wan, go ahead."
The Queen Mother stared at Jiang Wan quietly, with a dangerous look in her eyes.
If an ordinary concubine was intimidated by her, she would have lost her composure long ago.
But Jiang Wan remained calm and composed. She smiled sweetly, stared at the flustered Second Prince's wife and said:
"It's not what you guessed. The Second Prince's wife really didn't have an affair with other men."
"Then why did you wrongly accuse her?"
The Second Prince was a little angry. He thought Jiang Wan was deliberately teasing her.
However, Jiang Wan spoke again in the eyes of the Second Prince's wife who wanted to hide:
"Because she did give birth to twins, but they were two girls, not twin boys and girls!"
