Qin Yuecheng panicked for a moment, then forced herself to calm down and said in a tearful voice, "How could the Left Prime Minister's wife think of me like this? I have been all alone for the past eleven years and have suffered so much. I finally found you. How could you think of me like this?"
Lin Ruoqing was disgusted by her appearance and was about to speak when Qin Qianlu interrupted her. Qin Qianlu disliked her framing her mother like this and stepped forward to block Lin Ruoqing.
Looking down at Qin Yuecheng on the ground, he said, "Qin Yuecheng, you mean this princess is a fake heiress, and you are the real one, right?"
When Qin Yuecheng saw that Qin Qianluo had finally spoken up, her eyes were filled with hatred and a hint of barely perceptible envy: "Yes, I am the real daughter of the Prime Minister's family. This position of Princess should also be mine. Qin Qianluo, you have occupied my position for eleven years. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu sneered, unconsciously releasing her aura and exuding the imposing presence of a special forces soldier from her past life. She said coldly, "Heh, if what you say is true, this princess can give you a chance to verify your kinship through a blood test. If you are truly of the Qin family bloodline, what's wrong with giving you my position as princess?"
Qin Yuecheng was overjoyed upon hearing this. Without thinking too much about the meaning behind the words, she asked in surprise, "Is this really true?"
The crowd grew anxious. The woman had alum in her fingernails; Princess Qingyun, please reconsider! Lin Ruoqing also thought of the alum's purpose and tugged at Qin Qianluo's clothes worriedly. Qin Qianluo turned and smiled at Lin's mother, reassuring her. Seeing her daughter's smile, Lin Ruoqing felt slightly relieved and put her mind at ease.
Qin Qianluo turned back again, looking down at Qin Yuecheng: "Of course, since this princess has said so, I will admit it, but first I need to clean the alum from under your fingernails, what do you say?"
Qin Yuecheng panicked. Alum was her last trump card. How did she know? She could only deny it: "I don't understand what you're saying. It's utter nonsense."
The Emperor couldn't stand her speaking to Qin Qianluo like that, so he gestured for Eunuch Liu to step forward. Eunuch Liu, who had long been unable to restrain himself, directed several palace maids to control Qin Yuecheng and personally examined her fingernails. Sure enough, he found alum. Eunuch Liu spat and presented the item to the Emperor.
Eunuch Liu and the other eunuchs and maids serving in the palace all disliked this woman intensely. How dare she slander Princess Qingyun like this? She deserved to die. Princess Qingyun was such a good person. She never treated them as servants and never looked down on them, no matter what.
Eunuch Liu was such a shrewd man; he could tell at a glance who was sincere and who was deceitful. Princess Qingyun always treated them eunuchs as normal men. In fact, they didn't need pity or mercy. Treating them as normal men was the best thing for them.
Seeing that her last trump card had been exposed, Qin Yuecheng knew she was powerless to turn the tide. Her previous excuses were full of holes, and her last trump card had been taken away. Helpless, she sat on the ground and slumped her head in despair.
Looking at the disheveled Qin Yuecheng, Qin Qianluo smiled faintly and said, "Do we still need to do a blood test to verify kinship?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuecheng glared at her fiercely: "You're just relying on your family background, what's there to be proud of? If I had your family background, I wouldn't be any worse than you!"
The crowd was furious. What did they mean by relying on family background? Even without the Left Prime Minister's mansion, just Princess Qingyun herself would have done the same. It wasn't just because of those things; Princess Qingyun's character and temperament were also excellent. She treated everyone with gentleness and politeness, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo laughed, told the palace maid to release her, walked closer, and slowly squatted down in front of her, smiling as she said, "This princess does indeed rely on her parents' love and the enlightenment of our Emperor. Do you think everywhere is like Xuanyuan Kingdom?"
Qin Yuecheng's eyes widened upon hearing this, staring at Qin Qianluo as if she had seen a ghost. How could she know so much? What else did she know?
Qin Qianluo looked at her reaction with satisfaction: "This face does look somewhat like mine, it's just a pity that such a good appearance is wasted."
Qin Yuecheng dared not say anything more. Thinking to herself, she secretly slipped her hand into her sleeve, took out a short blade, and stabbed it fiercely into Qin Qianluo's chest. Her eyes were filled with madness and determination as she shouted, "Die, Qin Qianluo, I want you to die!"
As Qin Yuecheng thrust her sword into Qin Qianluo's heart with all her might, she thought to herself that as long as she killed Qin Qianluo, even if she herself died, it would be worth it. It wouldn't be a loss to drag such a pampered and spoiled girl down to hell with her.
The incident happened so fast that before anyone could react, Qin Yuecheng had already attacked them. After everyone reacted, they rushed towards the two of them, and the palace maids behind them also rushed towards them.
Lin Ruoqing, Su Jinyun, and Qin Qianyu disregarded their image and rushed over anxiously. Mu Yunxi also flew forward, and the generals reacted instantly and rushed over as well.
Upon seeing this turn of events, the Emperor rushed down from his throne in a panic. Eunuch Liu also hurried forward, and the guards and secret agents reacted swiftly. In an instant, chaos erupted in the Golden Palace as everyone rushed toward the two individuals.
