Qiao Tianjing was cleaning up the mess on the table and paused slightly when he heard this.

Qiao Jiaojiao was already outputting a lot of information.

【Absolutely amazing! 】

[Now that I think about it, Yu Liu gave birth to a son with an ambiguous background, and ended up controlling everyone in the palm of her hand! ]

[Emperor Yong had no doubt about the Second Prince's background. Because of the "destructive power" of Yu Liu, his white moonlight, he favored the Second Prince and even passed the throne to him! ]

[Over there, Zhou Bo hated Emperor Yong to the core, but he firmly believed that the Second Prince was the son of Yu Liu and Di Zai Ying, and was of the pure Northern Kingdom bloodline, so he was completely devoted to the Second Prince and pledged his loyalty to him with his life! ]

[Then there is the childless Prince Jin Yu. He only has one nephew, the Second Prince, and Uncle Zhou may have already revealed the Second Prince's "life story" to Prince Jin Yu.]

[That’s why King Jin Yu resolutely nominated the Second Prince as the King of the Northern Kingdom! ]

[Just this one mystery about his background actually made it easy for the Second Prince to gain support from three parties! ]

[And according to the original trend, the Second Prince did succeed in becoming the common ruler of the two countries, and the only country left in the world that has not been taken over is Baili Chengyou's Nanli Kingdom! ]

[Oh my god, think about it in a dark way, if all this is Yu Liu’s plan...]

[Oh my god, it's really scary when you think about it! Could it be that a character who was just a background figure from the beginning actually controlled the whole situation? ]

[If this is true, then we can probably tell who the Second Prince inherited this scheming from...]

[Oh my god, I am now extremely curious about Yu Liu! ]

Qiao Tianjing turned his head and looked over, only to see Qiao Jiaojiao, who was supposed to be asleep, rolling around in the quilt, wrapping herself up like a "big white cocoon".

Qiao Tianjing: “….”

If it's true as my little sister said, then Princess Yu Liu's scheming...I'm afraid no one can match her.

Qiao Jiaojiao’s excitement didn’t last long as the fatigue in her body overwhelmed everything. She didn’t even know when she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Qiao Tianjing took her there secretly. Xiao Hongda was shocked when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao sleeping soundly.

"Da Lang, why did you bring the sleeping Jiao Jiao with you?"

Xiao Hongda looked confused. Didn't he have an appointment with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss serious matters?

Qiao Tianjing said calmly, "Before we left, Jiaojiao clung to my legs and insisted on coming with me."

"Master Xiao, you also know that I can't beat my little sister at all."

Xiao Hongda: "......"

If he hadn’t seen Qiao Jiaojiao sleeping unconsciously, he would have almost believed it!

Forget it, forget it. I don’t know why the Qiao family always keeps this young lady of the Qiao family with them. Doesn’t Old Qiao always carry her with him wherever he goes?

Imperial study.

Huang Pei said respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to Duke Dingguo's Mansion to deliver something."

Emperor Yong raised his head from the desk upon hearing this, with no expression of surprise on his face.

"The Queen has already told me last night that Zhan'er is indeed very interested in this marriage."

Huang Pei saw Emperor Yong raising his hand to rub his neck while speaking, and couldn't help but say with concern:

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? I am here to summon Zou Qi... Oh no, Zou Qi has gone to the southern border."

"Your Majesty, may I summon another imperial physician to see you?"

Emperor Yong pinched his neck and waved his hand indifferently.

"No need, maybe it's because I haven't stayed in Yikun Palace for too long..."

At this point, Emperor Yong's face also showed a bit of stupidity.

Huang Pei was secretly delighted when he saw that Emperor Yong was fascinated when he mentioned the Yikun Palace.

It seems that the Queen has won the heart of the Emperor as soon as she made a move!

He said that the Empress had been heartbroken over the years and no longer had the mood for this!

Otherwise, how could the living be inferior to the dead?

"Your Majesty, tonight...shall we go to Yikun Palace again?"

Emperor Yong glanced at Huang Pei standing beside him.

No wonder Huang Pei has been his favorite for so many years, these words really touched his heart.

"Then... let's go see the Queen again tonight."

Emperor Yong pretended to be reluctant and, in order to hide his feelings, he buried his head in dealing with government affairs.

————

The prince arrived at the Duke Dingguo's residence as promised, and the Duke Dingguo and his wife went out to welcome him personally.

Inside the mansion, Qiao Tianjing got the news and hurriedly woke up Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Little sister, the Crown Prince is here."

Qiao Jiaojiao slept soundly and her hair became frizzy.

She was stunned for a long time before she suddenly woke up.

"Coming?"

Qiao Tianjing had already prepared everything. He first wiped Qiao Jiaojiao's face and then let her eat something to fill her stomach.

When the prince entered the room, Qiao Jiaojiao, with her thick hair draped over her shoulders, looked full of energy.

"Jiaojiao?"

The prince was also surprised when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Tianjing used the same old trick and repeated what he had just said.

Prince: “…”

Qiao Jiaojiao: ?(?????)?

No matter what, just act cute!

Upon hearing this, the prince stopped asking questions and instead held Qiao Jiaojiao on his lap and started talking about business with Qiao Tianjing.

"Da Lang, how did it go last night?"

Qiao Jiaojiao clearly felt that the moment the prince asked this question, all the muscles in her body tensed up.

Qiao Tianjing was well prepared and led the prince to the case.

"Your Highness, please look."

In front of him were two bowls of water.

As Qiao Tianjing dripped blood into the bowl, he said, "Your Highness, thanks to the secret recipe of Nanli Country, otherwise the blood would have coagulated long ago."

"Please look——"

The prince held his breath and leaned over to look.

In the bowl on the left, the two drops of blood quickly merged together, while in the bowl on the right, they settled for a while before gradually dispersing.

The results on both sides were very different. The prince couldn't help but look stunned, "What...what does this mean?"

Qiao Tianjing also had a look of bewilderment on his face, and said in a gentle voice:

"Your Highness, I discovered by accident last night that the water temperature would affect the mixing of blood."

"You see, the water on the left is warm, and the blood instantly blends together, making it look like - they are parent and child."

"The water on the right is cold, and the blood didn't mix for a while, so it seemed..."

Qiao Tianjing was halfway through his words when the prince's eyes flickered and his thoughts surged.

"It seems that just as Dalang said at the beginning, this blood test is not accurate."

Qiao Tianjing nodded with a worried look on his face, "Yes, Your Highness, this blood... was obtained with great effort, but now... I'm afraid it's all in vain."

The prince stared at the two bowls of blood in front of him, and suddenly spoke calmly:

"Da Lang, Uncle Zhou is a close friend of my second brother. Since he said so, he must be able to make it right."

"The royal bloodline cannot be mixed up. This blood test is just the icing on the cake."
