You and my father are close friends, and you should know what kind of person he is. Are you sure you want me to do this test?"
"Since someone has doubted your identity, it is my responsibility to dispel everyone's doubts." Emperor Dezheng had long been certain that Murong Qingyun was the queen's illegitimate child, so he felt that he would be able to send the Murong family to hell today.
"I have every right to refuse." In Murong Qingyun's eyes, the Murong family simply wanted to avoid being accused of regicide and usurpation. But in reality, with their years of planning, ousting the emperor from the throne was a piece of cake. So, even if he had to confront the emperor now, he wasn't afraid.
With his and Murong Xiao's martial arts skills, it would be absolutely not difficult to escape from the palace. As long as they were out of the palace, escaping would be a piece of cake with the help of the mechanisms in Murong Mansion.
"This is an imperial edict!" said the emperor gritting his teeth.
Murong Qingyun stared at the emperor, wondering whether he should break up with him right now, but the next moment his hand was held.
"Brother, since the emperor has questioned my father and mother, and your bloodline, why not let everyone present see it? As I said before, is a moment's self-esteem more important than a lifetime of innocence?"
Murong Qingyun finally felt relieved when he felt that Murong Xiao had smeared something on his fingers.
"Brother, I just think a real man has his share of rules and regulations. The Emperor is questioning his own Crown Prince, so why should he extend this to the Murong family? When Father and Mother got married, Mother was already pregnant. This was something that all the senior court officials witnessed firsthand."
"Mr. Qingyun, you are wrong. Although many people saw your mother marrying the Grand Marshal while pregnant, not everyone saw your birth. What's more, the Grand Marshal has many children, but he doesn't even have a concubine. This is very strange in itself, isn't it? Even if the Grand Marshal is unlucky with wives, he wouldn't let all of his wives and concubines die in a foreign land, right?" Qian Yeyao said.
"Your Highness Prince Li, are you doubting my identity as well? Are you trying to say that I might have been born to the Queen and now married to my own brother?"
Seeing Murong Xiao's face full of sarcasm, Qian Yeyao's heart choked. He smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you're joking. This prince has never doubted your identity. But since we've already mentioned the matter of Young Master Qingyun's blood relationship, it's always good to confirm it. It's just a matter of a drop of blood. At most, my mother and I will compensate Young Master Qingyun with some extra supplements."
"Brother, it seems that if you don't take a blood test today, you will definitely become the Queen Mother's illegitimate child tomorrow. People's words are scary, so throw your self-esteem to the dogs first."
Murong Xiao's words made Emperor Dezheng, the Imperial Noble Consort, Prince Li, and Prince Li's wife all change color. However, in order to get Murong Qingyun to take a blood test, these people were extremely patient. Although their expressions were unpleasant, they remained silent.
Murong Qingyun felt very comfortable with Murong Xiao's protection of her, and the gloom she had been feeling for so many days was finally mostly gone.
"In that case, I will let you see whether I am my mother's child or the Queen's child." After saying this, he walked to the table and pricked his finger with the prepared silver needle, letting the blood drip into two bowls respectively.
Everyone looked at the blood in the bowls nervously, but they found that the blood in the two bowls did not merge with the blood inside as quickly as the blood the prince had just dropped into the bowl.
