"Yes. But how can we verify it?" asked the imperial concubine.
"Mother, why don't we have a folk blood test to prove our relationship?" Qian Yeyao suggested firmly.
"Yes." The Imperial Concubine nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"How dare you!" the Empress roared in anger at the Imperial Consort and Prince Li. "The royal bloodline must not be tainted! Since I married into the palace, I have been by His Majesty's side for twenty years, treating him with sincerity. Ling Yingzhen, your words just now clearly indicate that you suspect I am having an affair with Marshal Murong. What are your intentions?"
When the queen heard that she had to do a blood test to identify her relatives, she broke out in a cold sweat.
She was not afraid that the emperor would find out anything. What she was afraid of was that Qingyun was trapped in the palace at the moment. Once the emperor got angry and wanted to arrest him, the possibility of him escaping would be almost zero.
Ever since she married into the imperial palace, she had no more extravagant hopes for life. Later, as she watched Qingyun grow up, she gradually began to see hope again. Qingyun was all she cared about, and if anything happened to her, there would be no point in her living.
"Oh, sister, you are embarrassing me. When did I ever tell you that you and the Grand Marshal were having an affair? The Grand Marshal is an upright man. He is not only the backbone of the Nanyue Kingdom, but also the sworn brother of the Emperor. Even if I had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to suspect you two!
"My sister just said that I was worried that my sister would be busy with the affairs of the Divine Religion. The prince is usually taken care of by a wet nurse, and you won't go to see him for a long time. If you get the wrong child, it will bury the royal bloodline in the world. My sister is also thinking about my sister!"
"Put away your slutty look! I know best whether Ming'er is the Crown Prince or not, and I don't need anyone else to say anything! Anyone who dares to doubt Ming'er is doubting my innocence. I can report this to the High Priest of the Divine Religion and have you punished for disrespecting the Saint of the Divine Religion!"
The God religion was truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in South Vietnam, and almost everyone believed in it. Now the Queen brought up the God religion and threatened to punish her, saying that she was not afraid was a lie.
Seeing the Imperial Noble Consort shut up in anger, Emperor Dezheng said, "Empress, since everyone has doubts, true gold is not afraid of fire. Let's do a blood test here to prove our relationship!"
"Your Majesty!" Hearing the emperor's words, the queen's face turned pale. Glancing at Murong Qingyun, who also looked pale, the queen regretted it to death.
"I firmly disagree with this! Proving kinship through blood? This is a blatant blasphemy against me and the Crown Prince!"
Emperor Dezheng didn't care about all that. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to resolve the worry that had been bothering him for many years and to wipe out the Murong family in one fell swoop.
If he had dealt with Murong Qingyun in the palace, wouldn't he have worried about not being able to capture Murong Qingyu? Even if he couldn't catch him, as long as he could eradicate him, it would have damaged his vitality. Moreover, if he acted quickly and killed Murong Qingyun and then Murong Qingyu immediately afterwards, even the 400,000 Murong family soldiers and countless generals behind him would not be a threat.
"I have made up my mind, Queen, please don't try to stop me. Don't you think Qingyun looks a lot like you? I am also very curious, is Qingyun my child, or is the prince my child?" Or maybe, neither of them! The last sentence was added by Emperor Dezheng in his heart.
The reason why he didn't love the prince as much in recent years was, on the one hand, because he was angry at the queen's betrayal, and on the other hand, because the prince and the queen were almost cut from the same mold.
