Brother Erhu was stunned!
Why did Your Majesty ask him this?
He is his parents' biological son, and everyone in the village knows this!
He was very strong, even his parents were not as strong as him, but he had never seen a man stronger than him!
Ye Hongxue was looking at her father.
Ye Chao was recalling carefully. When this child was a teenager, more than a decade ago, had he ever been with any woman... He had no recollection. No, no, there seemed to be one... That night, he got drunk and forcibly took a maid from the mansion...
"Lord Zhang?" Baili Tang asked Zhang Dongzheng, "You and Lord Meng are also familiar with Erhu. Have you discovered anything?"
Zhang Dongzheng sighed, "When I first saw Erhu, I felt he looked familiar. Now, comparing him to Marshal Ye, I find he looks even more like Marshal Ye than General Ye does!"
Believe it or not, the more people look at them, the more they look alike! Could they be biological children?
Ye Hongxue was also shocked. Could it be that the tyrant emperor wanted to prove that she was not her father's biological daughter? What was his purpose? To let this dull-witted boy become the young master of her Ye family?
How her father wished he had a living son...
Despicable!!
Ye Hongxue's imagination is amazing!
Many people present had similar ideas to Ye Hongxue!
Baili Tang wants to infiltrate the Ye Family Army with his men!
Baili Tang: Am I such a boring person?
"Call Imperial Physician Jiang!"
Oh, the old imperial physician who accompanied us was named Jiang Shoucheng!
Imperial Physician Jiang, who was always on call, arrived with his favorite disciple.
Baili Tang asked him, "Imperial Physician Jiang, is there any way to prove that they are father and son, or father and daughter?"
Imperial Physician Jiang and the other two knelt and said, "Your Majesty, we can use blood to identify our relatives!"
"Blood test to prove kinship? What does that mean?" Baili Tang pretended to be confused, but in fact he had already colluded with Imperial Physician Jiang... He, Baili Tang, had no say, but Imperial Physician Jiang was the national physician of Jing State, and his words represented authority!
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water! The blood of relatives and children with blood ties will mix in water! Otherwise, they will not mix!" said Imperial Physician Jiang.
"I think I understand. Erhu and Ye Aiqing look alike, but if he doesn't have Ye Aiqing's blood flowing in his veins, then his blood can't mix with Ye Aiqing's. And General Ye doesn't look like Ye Aiqing. As long as their blood can mix, then it can be proved that they are biological father and daughter."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"How do you verify it?"
"Take a bowl of clean water and drop a drop of blood from each person into it. If they can fuse, they must be related by blood; if they cannot fuse, it means that the two people are not related by blood." Imperial Physician Jiang explained.
This was the first time that the idea of blood test was proposed in Jing State. Whether it was true or not, these people didn't know, but they just thought it made perfect sense.
Next, Ye Chao dripped two drops of blood into two bowls of water, and then it was Ye Hongxue and Liang Erhu's turn to drip in respectively.
As a result, Ye Hongxue's blood merged with Ye Chao's blood, but Liang Erhu's blood failed to merge with Ye Chao's blood.
Brother Erhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He always felt that Ye Chao was a bit annoying!
Baili Tang knocked on his head and said, "If you are really Ye Aiqing's son, you can walk on eight legs like General Ye in the future! Hey, how about trying Chao Hong and his daughter? Oh, and try the two prime ministers too. I always think they look so much alike that I can never tell who is who! Hu Aiqing, your son is here too, let's try it together."
"Your Majesty, I obey your command!" Hu Zhennan was not worried about his son Hu Panyuan. He was not his own son. The two of them looked like they were cut from the same mold.
Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Fan exchanged a glance, both amused. In their hearts, they had already guessed Baili Tang's true intentions. Baili Tang's true intentions were probably still to come. Otherwise, Chao Hong and his daughter wouldn't be here today.
Soon, the experiment was over. The blood of Chao Hong and Chao Man'er, Hu Zhennan and Hu Panyuan could be fused together, but the blood of the two prime ministers could not be fused together.
Baili Tang knew that blood tests were unreliable. He was taking a risk. Fortunately, everything was under his control.
"Back then, Lan'er gave birth to a child. Some people said the child was a bastard, but when I saw him yesterday, he looked somewhat like me. I also wanted to try and see if he was indeed my own!"
After a while, the little kid was carried up. He was so small and had been living in the cold palace. It was the first time for him to see so many people. He was immediately frightened and was struggling.
It was only when Baili Tang took it that he stopped struggling so hard. Baili Tang was the second person who treated him well, right?
When Chao Hong and Chao Man'er saw this little guy, their eyes suddenly moistened... Is this Lan'er, Auntie's child? How much suffering has this little guy endured over the years...
Baili Tang held him, preventing him from moving, and asked Imperial Physician Jiang to take his blood immediately. He also took his blood while he was at it.
Everyone was holding their breath.
And these two drops of blood slowly merged together!
Zhang Dongzheng immediately knelt down: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"
Civil and military officials all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"
This means they acknowledged the child's identity!!
Baili Tang said, "I still have four children. Let's test them together today!"
What happens next is really beyond Baili Tang’s control!
Biologically related children don't necessarily have the same blood type! Baili Tang had studied history and knew that the practice of identifying kin by dropping blood had been established during the Three Kingdoms period and had always been held as the golden rule, unquestioned. In the Song Dynasty, Song Ci even introduced the practice of identifying kin by dropping bones! Unfortunately, it was unreliable.
