Shock! A certain marquis actually admitted in public that he is a cuckold!
Xie Luoshui suddenly felt countless eyes focused on her, and she felt uncomfortable.
What are they looking at? Are they joking?
She wiped the blood off her face, looked up stubbornly, and pursed her lips tightly.
Then she heard...
"Madam Du." The old emperor said in a calm tone: "Was it your idea to steal a dragon and switch it to a phoenix, or was it the idea of the Marquis of Kuaiji?" Madam Du
seemed dumbfounded, and immediately turned to look at the Marquis of Kuaiji, her eyebrows raised: "Stealing a dragon and switching it to a phoenix? Wei Jin! Explain to me clearly, what is stealing a dragon and switching it to a phoenix! You switched my child?!"
The Marquis of Kuaiji's son next to him shook his head with an expression of "You must be kidding me" "Mother! What are you talking about! What do you mean by stealing a dragon and switching it with another! Father, what's going on! His Majesty must have misunderstood!"
Kuaiji Marquis: "This... is of course the Jinyiwei slandering me! Dalang is my son! How could I do such a thing as stealing a dragon and switching it with another! And I even asked for the title of Crown Prince for him, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor! A capital crime!"
Three voices rang out, some sharp, some anxious, some weak, and very noisy.
Oh, there is a fourth one.
[Tsk tsk, people of the same family are alike. This Madam Du cleared herself in just a few words. It was clearly a conspiracy between husband and wife, but she made it seem as if she knew nothing about it. 】
【The Marquis of Kuaiji is not a good guy either. When Madam Du was pregnant, he put pressure on her openly and covertly, making her worry that he could not give birth to a son to inherit the title of Marquis. After the birth, he kept sighing and hinting that he had a concubine who gave birth to a son and wanted to take them in - how could he, a weak sperm man, have a son? If he really had a son, he would have brought him home happily. 】
【After tricking Madam Du into taking the initiative to propose to steal the dragon and take the bird, he remained silent, puffing on his cigarette from time to time, acting like a useless person. In fact, he clearly acquiesced, but he didn't want to fall into a moral pit, so he pretended to be very worried because the lady was stubborn and I couldn't persuade her. 】
Xu Yanmiao's revelations made all the officials eat their fill.
Each one was simply astonishing.
What a nest of snakes and rats is this in the Marquis of Kuaiji's mansion! Even that prince... oh no, the fake prince can do such a thing as imprisoning a commoner girl.
An official muttered: "Are they really not blood relatives?"
Like! Too much like!
"It's just a pity for that daughter of the emperor... Originally, with her status as a legitimate daughter, and the fact that His Majesty has always been generous in favoring meritorious officials and heirs, she could have been given the title of a princess, but it's a pity that it was ruined by her parents."
"Yes, yes."
"If you ask me, the Marquis of Kuaiji is really a bad person. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
The Marquis of Kuaiji himself is very thick-skinned.
You can say whatever you want, anyway, I'll say I didn't do it!
Turning to look at the old emperor, he insisted: "Your Majesty! This matter requires evidence. How could I do something to confuse the bloodline? If this is true, I can obviously keep my daughter and pretend to be twins. Why did I abandon my daughter? Someone must have wronged me! Your Majesty, please judge!"
Everyone knew that what Xu Yanmiao said must be true. Everyone
knew that Kuaiji Hou insisted that there was no evidence.
No matter how arbitrary the old emperor was, he could not punish Kuaiji Hou's family with a false charge of "I think you used a fake prince to cheat for the title" in the eyes of the world.
For a while, the court fell into a strange silence.
Kuaiji Hou did not get a reply from the old emperor for a long time, nor did he hear Xu Yanmiao's new voice. A satisfied smile quietly appeared at the corner of his lips.
He won the bet.
If the emperor wants to be a wise ruler, he cannot just rely on Xu Yanmiao's voice to determine who is guilty or not.
And Xu Yanmiao... so what if he knows the truth, even if all the civil and military officials in the court know that he did it, he has handled everything well, and if there is no evidence, everything is false.
The only thing that makes him dissatisfied is...
Kuaiji Marquis calmly looks at Xie Luoshui, who has grown into a young girl.
Didn't he hint at the beginning that the baby girl must be killed just in case? Could it be that Mrs. Du softened her heart and spared her life? Humph! What a foolish woman, she almost brought disaster to the Marquis's mansion!
- If you are found to have cheated on the title, it is deceiving the emperor! It is disrespectful and you must be beheaded!
At this time, the Minister of Justice said slowly: "Since your majesty has clearly stated that it is a fake, you must know where the real phoenix is. Why not invite it over and do a blood test with the Marquis of Kuaiji?"
The old emperor smiled: "My dear minister, you are right."
The Marquis of Kuaiji looked ugly.
He actually ignored the blood test!
But, fortunately, he knew a secret. Vinegar can make the blood of close relatives incompatible. As long as he can find a way...
[Eh? Blood test? ]
Xu Yanmiao's inner voice rang.
[But... the blood test is fake. ]
[As long as vinegar is not dripped in advance, and it is a person's blood put into the water bowl, it can be mixed. ]
The old emperor looked ugly.
The Marquis of Kuaiji smiled.
All officials... were in chaos.
"Blood test is ineffective?!" An official was confused: "After the chaos, I found my father through blood test..."
If blood test is fake,
then who has he called father for more than 20 years? !
Another official's face turned green: "My wife said the child is mine, and I even did a blood test with that bastard." The
official next to him comforted him: "Maybe it's really you..."
The official with a green face interrupted him, his face full of grief: "I was sent out for two years, and after returning home, I had a one-year-old child. She said that the child was conceived after I met her in my dream and made love." The official who
comforted him: "..."
Ah, this...
this... I'm afraid it's really not your child in eleven or twelve out of ten times.
The Minister of Justice, who proposed the blood test and triggered the turmoil in the court, was actually terrified: "Fortunately, fortunately, I don't have any children, and my biological father has never been lost."
Other officials: "..."
Did you listen to what people say?
The Minister of Punishment coughed and tried to save the situation: "Your Majesty, there is also the bone-dropping method to identify relatives. The blood of a father and daughter can definitely dissolve into each other's bones..." [
Fake .]
