"this……"
The emperor was confused. He had many concubines in his harem, and he really couldn't remember the appearance of Xiaoba's biological mother.
Xiaoba was handsome and didn't look much like him, so he wasn't sure.
His hesitant look fell into the eyes of the Eighth Prince. His eyes were filled with emotions, but he was met with Song Jiuyuan's cold look.
The Eighth Prince suddenly woke up and said calmly: "Since Father doesn't believe it either, let's admit it with blood!"
Jiang Wan:......
She never expected that it would end up like this.
The eldest princess said angrily: "Brother, you can't even recognize your own son?"
She used to be the late emperor's favorite eldest princess, so the emperor would always give her some respect.
"Sister, Xiaoba has been wearing a mask these past few years, and none of us know his true appearance."
"Yes, eldest sister, what if some people have ulterior motives and plot to harm Xiaoba.
What should I do if I insert my own people later? "
The queen was thinking, but the sixth and second princes had seen Jiang Wan's medical skills.
They thought with some luck that maybe this was not Xiaoba.
Concubine Xiao also said: "Since His Highness the Eighth Prince himself said that blood will be shed to recognize relatives, I think this is a good idea."
After hearing this, everyone present responded to the situation.
"Yes, this scar that even the imperial doctors look down on can be cured by Jiang Wan and a female prostitute?"
"I don't believe it either. This man looks nothing like the emperor."
"Could this really be the person Song Jiuyuan is looking for? They are really crazy."
"..."
"absurd!"
Mr. Chu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. After watching for so long, the anger in his heart soared.
"teacher."
The emperor frowned. He was both in awe and fearful of Mr. Chu.
He understands Mr. Chu as a person and will never have any inappropriate thoughts about his empire.
But he is too smart, so smart that the emperor is afraid of him.
"How can a father in this world not recognize his own son?"
Mr. Chu began to regret his firm choice of emperor, because he was obviously not such a person when he was young.
Hearing this, the emperor's face flushed with shame, but he did not lower his head in front of so many ministers.
He just said: "Xiao Ba's situation is different. In the past few years, his face was covered with scars.
Now that it has returned to this state, I really can’t be sure. "
Mr. Chu:......
He sighed slightly, looked at the hurt eyes of the eighth prince, and finally just shook his head helplessly.
"I'll do a blood test over there as you said."
"Thank you for your understanding, teacher."
The emperor wanted to smile or not, but in fact he was extremely irritable, and he just kept putting up with his temper.
"Chaoen, go get two bowls of water."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chao En turned around and left. At this moment, everyone had mixed expressions.
"Looking at Jiang Wan's calm and composed look, could it be that this person is really the Eighth Prince?"
"It's hard to say, after all, we haven't seen the Eighth Prince in so many years."
"..."
"Jingmo, is her medical skills really that good?"
The fifth princess stared at Jingmo condescendingly. Although Jingmo felt a little uncomfortable, she still replied:
"Well, it's really possible that this person is the Eighth Prince."
"This princess doesn't believe it."
The fifth princess' eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan. Seeing that his heart was full of Jiang Wan, she gritted her teeth in anger.
There were different opinions and the scene was a bit chaotic. Jiang Wan stood with Song Jiuyuan without being humble or arrogant from beginning to end.
She is a doctor, so she naturally knows that the results of the blood test are not absolute.
The eighth prince was very calm. He was his father's prince, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
But Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the faces of Concubine Xiao and the Queen not far away.
The two of them looked at the Eighth Prince with ruthless eyes.
The Eighth Prince regained his appearance, but he was blocking everyone's way after all.
So Jiang Wan took a few steps forward and walked up to the eighth prince.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous."
The powder on her fingertips moved slightly. Regardless of whether the water had been tampered with or not, Jiang Wan would definitely make everyone recognize the Eighth Prince.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Jiang. I'm fine."
In front of others, the Eighth Prince showed a bit of aura. If you look closely, he did have a bit more of a royal aura.
The emperor's suspicious eyes fell on the eighth prince's face.
"Father, do you still remember the gift you gave me when I was five years old?"
The Eighth Prince said quietly, "It's a hare. That's the first time I've received a gift from you."
The emperor felt a little guilty when he was asked, because he didn't remember any of this at all.
Even if it was given as a gift, it must have come from somewhere.
The empress came to his rescue, "The emperor is busy with everything every day, how can he remember these little things."
"yes."
The Eighth Prince lowered his eyes and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. He didn't look good.
Jiang Wan hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, you must stay calm."
Her voice was low enough for the few people around them to hear.
The Eighth Prince took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I have my own plans in mind."
As he spoke, Chaoen came with a bowl of water and two daggers on the plate. He stood in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the water prepared by this old slave."
"Um."
The emperor frowned, as if he was not happy to cut his finger.
Seeing this, the Eighth Prince walked up to Chao En and neatly picked up one of the daggers.
"Father, my sons and ministers come first."
He cut his finger directly, and bright red blood dropped from his fingertip into the bowl.
Jiang Wan stood beside him, her fingertips moved slightly, and fine powder flew into the bowl again.
Her movements were very secretive, but Song Jiuyuan could see them clearly.
Another person who doubted Jiang Wan was Jing Mo. He stared at Jiang Wan's every move suspiciously.
"Father."
The Eighth Prince took the gauze handed over by Eunuch Bai and casually held it on his fingertips.
"It's your turn."
"this……"
The emperor stood up, frowning a little irritably, and his eyes fell on the princes.
Jiang Wan understood his thoughts instantly and said considerately: "Your Majesty, brothers can recognize each other through blood.
It's just that the accuracy is not that high. Even if it is proven that this is your eighth prince, some people may not be convinced. "
"Please ask the emperor to come in person."
Song Jiuyuan took a step forward and spoke to the emperor respectfully, as if he was not afraid of offending him at all.
The emperor was helpless and could only lightly cut his hand with a dagger.
It's just that he was afraid of pain, so he didn't use much force, and there were no blood beads at all.
"Your Majesty, would you like my concubine to help you?"
Concubine Xiao pretended and held the emperor's hand distressedly, "Seeing the emperor bleeding makes me feel very sad."
"My dear, don't worry, I'm fine."
The emperor's man was so cruel that with a little force, a drop of blood fell into the bowl.
Everyone present did not dare to blink and stared at the bowl of water quietly.
Seeing that the emperor's blood was not fused with the eighth prince's blood, the fifth princess screamed in surprise.
"You are indeed not my father's son, nor my eighth brother!!!"
