Chapter 225 The Fake Daughter of the Imperial Palace 31
"I have evidence!"
Wen Yuan shouted with all her might, things have come to this point, even if she chooses to back down now, not only will the Imperial Concubine not forgive her, even the Queen will never let her go.
Since they have already torn their relations apart, either the queen will die or she will die, so it is better to continue. As long as she becomes a princess, can it be worse than being in the sewing room?
"When I was sorting out my mother... Cao Xier's belongings, I found a lot of the Fourth Prince's belongings, from childhood to adulthood. Moreover, she returned to her hometown ten years ago and secretly mentioned to her ex-husband that she gave birth to a son. We can find out by calling them over and asking them."
Wen Yuan raised her head with a determined look on her face: "And there are traces left in the delivery room back then. There is a girl who can prove it..."
"What a lie!"
Xue E was about to stand up and yell, but Su Youran held her back. She looked a little disappointed and waved her hand, interrupting Wen Yuan's unfinished words:
"You chose such a special occasion to 'reveal', so you must have been well prepared. There is no need to elaborate. My father, the emperor, and my mother do not have the time and energy to listen to you one by one. Let's just go straight to the last step and save you from keeping everyone in suspense."
ah?
Wen Yuan was stunned. What is the last step?
Sun Mingde gritted his teeth. This eldest princess was indeed difficult to deal with. Nothing could stand up to scrutiny. If anyone wanted to find fault, they would always find it. Moreover, they had made a lot of preparations for this.
They have both witnesses and material evidence. Even if they cannot completely convince people, as long as there is a little doubt in people's minds, they have succeeded.
It’s a pity that they are not even given the chance to speak, how can they make others doubt them!
Sun Mingde's face was gloomy: "What do you think the princess wants?"
"Let's test our blood relationship."
The five words were spoken lightly but powerfully: "Whether it's you who pointed out or the queen mother who denied it, it's all one-sided. Instead of arguing back and forth, it's quicker and simpler to just present the results directly."
Everyone looked up in astonishment. Su Youran looked at no one else but waved at Wei Ying, who had been standing silently behind Su Tiangang.
"Please fetch a basin of water, Eunuch Wei. Remember not to ask anyone else to do it. Father trusts you, and so do I, Mother, and Fourth Brother."
Wei Ying glanced at Su Youran in surprise. She had a smile on her face but a deep look in her eyes. He was startled and looked at Su Tiangang, who was letting his daughter take control of the situation.
Su Tiangang nodded slightly, and Wei Ying then bowed and backed away. This was a serious matter, from the utensils to the water, he had to do it himself, and there couldn't be any mistakes!
Sun Mingxin pulled the handkerchief hard, and it was over. Even her last trump card was useless.
They had actually made preparations for blood testing, but in order to ensure the result was what they wanted, the water had to be special.
What should we do now? Who can do something like this under the nose of the number one eunuch Wei Ying?
Isn't that telling the emperor clearly that everything that happened today was a conspiracy they planned against Su Jingxi?
After so much hard planning, the big show hasn't even started yet. Just as the tune started, the stage was overturned. How could the Sun siblings not be upset?
I feel like vomiting blood!
A smile flashed in Su Jingan's eyes. Ran'er never plays by the rules. Anyone who wants to bully her should forget about it.
Su Jingtai was actually a little confused, but seeing his sister's calm and composed appearance, he felt relieved for no reason.
With Ran'er here, there will definitely be no problem.
Su Jingmin looked at his mother who had an unhappy expression on her face, then at his uncle who looked a little depressed, and couldn't help but droop his eyelids.
Just ask how it feels to have two teammates who are just dragging you down?
He wanted to expose other people's past, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed in public by others.
Now I'm afraid that everyone, including my father, will think that they were the ones who framed me deliberately.
Even if he told them, he was actually kept in the dark and had no prior knowledge of it, so I'm afraid no one would believe him.
What would his father think of him, what would his brothers think, and most importantly, Ran'er...
Did she also think that he wanted to harm her mother and brother? She must hate him to death...
"Third brother."
Su Youran personally picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for Su Jingmin. She continued to talk and laugh, without showing any signs of hostility. However, her voice was very low, so only the two of them could hear clearly:
"Third brother, I believe you."
This sentence was simple and straightforward, but it seemed to carry tremendous power, instantly lifting Su Jingmin's spirits. His heart, which seemed to be frozen just now, immediately felt like spring returning to the earth.
"But..."
How could I deserve your unconditional trust?
In fact, if today's plan succeeded, he would not feel sorry for either the Queen or Su Jingxi.
Only by obtaining the supreme position can he do whatever he wants and always protect the person he wants to protect.
"But Third Brother, there are some things you should think about and choose."
Su Youran smiled at him, hinting at something: "If a knife doesn't obey orders and only acts on its own, then it's better to throw it away. Otherwise, you have to be careful that its blade will eventually turn against its master one day."
Su Jingmin was stunned, but Su Youran had already turned around and stopped looking at him.
Wei Ying walked over carefully holding the porcelain basin. Everyone's eyes were on him. No one noticed that Su Jingmin's hands were shaking as he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
He understood what Ran'er meant. On the one hand, she was reminding him that Sun Mingde was not easy to use and might cause trouble in the future.
On the other hand, she was also saying hello to him. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, but she would never let go of anyone who was related to him.
Now it depends on his choice, whether to cut off his own arm or for her to do it.
Raner and uncle...
If you can only choose one of the two, is there any need to say which one to choose?
Su Jingmin lowered his head and hid the cruelty in his eyes. I'm sorry, uncle. It's your fault for provoking the wrong person.
No one else noticed what the brother and sister did, but Su Tiangang saw it clearly, and the regret in his heart became even greater.
Ran'er is really like him, decisive and fierce, and once he makes a decision, he will never leave any chance for his opponent to survive.
What a pity...
He stood up, took the knife handed to him by the attendant, quickly cut his finger, and watched the blood drip into the water and slowly spread out.
Su Jingxi did the same thing, and the two drops of blood slowly merged together under the nervous gaze of everyone.
Xue E breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she did have some doubts when she heard Wen Yuan's words before.
She was not conscious at that time, and if Cao Xier really wanted to replace the child, she could have done it.
Fortunately, fortunately, God still feels sorry for her.
"Let everyone see it."
Su Tiangang waved his hand towards Wei Ying. After making sure that everyone in the hall had seen the blood drops merged together, he pulled Su Jingxi who was standing beside him:
"The Fourth Prince's bloodline is beyond doubt. He is the legitimate prince. If anyone dares to spread rumors or make false accusations in the future..."
He drew out the guard's sword and chopped it on the table in front of him. The square table was split in half in the blink of an eye.
In the silence, Su Tiangang's expression was stern and murderous, and he spoke word by word:
"The end is just like this table!"
A crowd of people knelt down in the hall, and shouts of "Long live the emperor" echoed endlessly.
Wen Yuan sat down on the ground, his face pale and big beads of sweat dripping down.
It's over. It's really over now.
She seemed to remember something and rushed towards Sun Mingxin: "Madam! Madam...save me, I have only followed your orders, you forced me to do this, I was forced!"
"Nonsense, I don't even know you!"
Sun Mingxin is really going to be pissed off by this idiot. As long as I don't fall, in order to prevent you from betraying me, I will definitely find a way to save you. But you are in this condition now, I can't even save myself, how can I save you!
She looked at Su Tiangang anxiously:
"Your Majesty, please believe me. A person like her who casually frames her master for fame and wealth cannot be trusted. She just wants to mitigate her own crime by accusing others."
"Sun Mingxin, it's all your fault that I'm like this. I can't escape, so don't even think about it!"
Wen Yuan's expression was ferocious, his eyes full of hatred:
"Cao Xier's ex-husband and brothers are waiting outside the palace. How many benefits did you promise them to tell lies for you? Do you dare to call them over and ask them?"
"Bastard servant..."
“That’s enough!”
Su Tiangang shouted in a low voice, his face as gloomy as water:
"Take them all away. The maid Wen Yuan attempted to frame the empress and the prince. Her crime is extremely serious. She will be imprisoned immediately in the Ministry of Punishment. The Imperial Concubine Sun was disrespectful in front of the palace. From today on, she will be demoted to a talented person and will be confined to the palace. She will never be allowed to leave."
Sun Mingde closed his eyes in despair. Well, this time he really shot himself in the foot and suffered heavy losses!
The atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet suddenly fell to the bottom because of this unexpected change. The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The dragon boat race had ended long ago, but the eunuch in charge saw that something was wrong in the palace and did not dare to come in to report.
Su Tiangang rewarded the winning team generously as usual and was about to end the banquet when he heard someone outside shouting:
"Your Majesty, urgent news from eight hundred miles away!"
Everyone looked solemn. What big thing had happened?
Su Tiangang's heart skipped a beat, and his heartbeat was like a drum: "Hurry up and announce it!"
The dusty and dishevelled messenger almost rolled all the way to the front of the crowd, lying on the ground, his voice hoarse:
"Your Majesty, Daliang attacked the border, and General Lu who was defending the city was defeated and fled. Now Daliang has captured two cities in a row, and the next one is Jiashun!"
The knife in Su Jingxi's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his first reaction was to turn around and look at Su Youran.
She was sitting quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became noticeably warmer, and even cicadas began to appear. Their chirping made people feel upset and unable to sleep well.
Su Youran turned over again, still not feeling sleepy at all. She simply opened her eyes, leaned against the pillow, and stared at the incense burning in the corner, lost in thought.
When Nanny Wei heard the noise and came in to take a look, she immediately felt distressed: "Your Highness, is it too noisy outside? I will ask someone to catch all those cicada monkeys right away."
“No, it has nothing to do with Zhiliao.” Su Youran smiled faintly, “I’m just a little worried about the previous dynasty. I don’t know what’s going on at the border.”
Wei Fangruo poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, then sighed, "It's only been a few years since we've had peace, why are they suddenly fighting again?"
She looked at His Highness, who was in a somewhat lazy posture, and a sense of worry suddenly surged in her heart. Would this war have an impact on them, the princess?
