Chapter 418 I Listened
Duke Cheng was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately knelt on the ground and pointed at Zhou and cursed:
"Where did this unruly person come from! He actually tried to deceive Your Majesty and confuse the royal bloodline. His heart is worthy of death! Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
The Prince of Chengguo and his sons all knelt behind their father and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
King Xuan sneered and pointed at Ji Changying, "Come here! Drag these swindling market villains out and chop them off for me!"
Just as the guards were about to attack, Emperor Mingde grabbed the tea in front of him and threw it at Prince Xuan: "Asshole! I'm not dead yet, when will it be your turn to call the shots here?"
King Xuan did not expect that Emperor Mingde's anger would suddenly be directed at him. He subconsciously dodged his head, and the cup of tea hit his shoulder directly, staining a large area of his clothes.
Prince Yi swallowed, somewhat glad that he hadn't had time to speak yet.
King Zhuang suppressed the smile on his face and decided to wait and see what would happen.
"Yang'er!" Concubine Cui screamed, not caring about her manners. She stood up and quickly walked in front of King Xuan, raised her hand and took the handkerchief to wipe King Xuan's clothes.
King Xuan hid for a moment with a cold face, then knelt down to apologize: "I was worried that your Majesty would be deceived by a villain, so I acted hastily. I hope your Majesty will understand!"
Zhou looked at them warily, protecting Ji Changying behind her, and angrily looked at King Xuan: "You are the liar! Your whole family is a liar!"
This time, even Taifu Song and Lord Cao couldn't help but frown when they heard what Zhou said.
What this woman said... was too bold and too rude!
No matter how you look at it, this is not the demeanor that a princess of a country should have.
King Xuan sneered in his heart. In public, they dared to speak to him, a prince, like that. Could it be that they thought Xie Siheng could still protect them?
Ji Changying took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and kicked Duke Cheng, who was kneeling in the front and was in the way, to the side.
"you!"
Duke Chengguo didn't expect that he was kicked for no reason. If his son hadn't helped him, he would have almost sprained his waist.
While the crowd was still not reacting, Ji Changying reached out and brought the bowl of blood to his nose, sniffing it lightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Father! This person's words were vulgar, and the consequences of his actions were bloody..."
Before King Xuan could finish his complaint, Ji Changying interrupted him loudly: "There's something wrong with the water, that's why this happened."
Her words were like a thunderbolt.
"impossible!"
Eunuch Liu objected almost subconsciously.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this bowl of water was prepared by me personally and I personally handed it to Your Majesty. This..."
"Don't worry, sir. Although you ordered someone to prepare this water, it passed through someone else's hands. Someone added something to it. You can come closer and smell it."
Ji Changying handed the water to Emperor Mingde, who couldn't wait to put it to his nose to test it.
Sure enough, a sour smell spread across my nose.
Jiang Qianruo also came over after hearing this, his face relaxed: "There is indeed something wrong with this water."
Emperor Mingde was furious. He suppressed the urge to kick Eunuch Liu and shouted angrily with a dark face, "Investigate for me! Someone put something in the water. If you find out who it is, I will kill his entire clan!"
It’s no wonder that Emperor Mingde was so furious. This incident happened within a quarter of an hour, and someone had actually tampered with the water.
This shows that this person must be well-informed and have certain connections in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to react so quickly.
Xie Siheng removed the long sword from his waist and saluted solemnly: "I obey your orders! I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Everyone felt insecure when they heard him speak.
"Your Majesty, this is...?"
Lord Cao and the others looked puzzled and hesitantly at Emperor Mingde.
What could possibly change the fusion of blood? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
Emperor Mingde gestured to Eunuch Liu to give them the bowl: "My dear ministers, you may smell it."
Lord Cao and others could hardly wait to get closer. They clearly smelled a sour smell and all frowned.
Song Taifu was puzzled: "Even if vinegar was added, it doesn't mean that it is the vinegar that makes the blood incompatible, right?"
Song Taifu considered himself to be knowledgeable and well-read, but he had never heard of such a thing, which was simply unbelievable.
He was simply confused.
Ji Changying smiled slightly: "Adding vinegar may not be a good idea. A large dose will also have a strong taste, and a light dose will not have the same effect. But what is added here is acetic acid powder."
"This acetic acid powder is the essence of vinegar, ten times more acidic than acetic acid. Just a little, as long as you control the dosage, can prevent the blood from clotting, but the smell won't be noticeable unless you get close. If you don't believe me, try using a bowl of ordinary water instead."
"Liu Quan! Go and watch over it yourself, and bring me a bowl of water!"
After hearing this, Emperor Mingde didn't say anything more and just asked someone to prepare another bowl of clean water.
This time, Eunuch Liu was on high alert and went to fetch water himself.
Emperor Mingde smelled it, then drank a mouthful of water so quickly that no one could stop him. After making sure that everything was correct, he let the blood in.
Zhou followed closely behind, dripping with blood.
She is now also very curious whether she is the biological child of the two people mentioned above.
This time, more people didn't care about their manners and squeezed to the front.
As soon as the two drops of blood entered the water, they merged together in a few breaths, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
This result was astonishing. If the two drops of blood had not been seen in public, it would have been unbelievable.
Can this be faked?
"What's the logic behind this?"
Tutor Song walked around the bowl of water twice but still couldn't figure out what it was.
There are such bizarre things in the world, I have never heard of them!
If we tell the truth, this involves more complicated chemistry.
Ji Changying was a little embarrassed: "When we were slaughtering pigs in the countryside, I accidentally poured someone else's acetic acid into the pig's blood, and then I discovered this. I don't know the specific reason why this happened. I still need to rely on the knowledge and talents of you adults, maybe you can give me an answer."
For the first time, embarrassment was written all over the faces of Tutor Song and Lord Cao.
They didn't even know about acetic acid used in making vinegar, let alone explain it.
Jiang Qianruo exclaimed proudly, looking at everyone: "This time, the Emperor personally examined the water bowl and dagger. Now the results are in. What happened before was a misunderstanding. Cui Taibao, Cheng Guogong, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Qianruo looked at the two biggest argumentative people and troublemakers and asked.
Duke Cheng opened his mouth, but facts spoke louder than words and he could not refute.
For a moment, I felt a chill down my spine.
Your Majesty, you are holding a grudge against them.
After being disturbed by this, Emperor Mingde looked at the ministers in the court coldly and said: "I want to recognize my daughter, do you have any objections?!"
Who dared to object? From the jade pendant, appearance to divine power, and even the emperor's blood test.
Now that the result was in front of everyone, even Cui Taibao couldn't find any words to refute it.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Lord Cao was the first to accept reality.
Next are Song Taifu and others.
Seeing that they all stopped talking, Jiang Qianruo and Emperor Mingde's expressions relaxed a little.
"Since that's the case, Zhou Yue Niang, please obey my orders!"
Zhou was pulled by Ji Changying and knelt on the ground: "I, I heard..."
Emperor Mingde didn't care about her rude words.
