Concubine Ning grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands and kept rubbing them in her hands, not daring to raise her head to look at Emperor Kang Yuan.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I just feel that Princess Chen is stalling for time. One moment she said it was a matter of water, and the next she said it was a matter of needles. She did not take into account His Majesty's worries about state affairs at all. It was just a matter of urgency." Concubine Ning whispered to Emperor Kang Yuan. explained.
After hearing this, Lu Qingtang smiled. She looked at Concubine Ning and said, "Concubine, I need to explain that since it is such an important matter as a blood test, you must be cautious, otherwise you may make a mistake. You will enter a place of eternal destruction.”
Concubine Ning snorted coldly. She tilted her head and said nothing. Her eyes gradually turned colder, and it was obvious that she was pretending to be calm.
"Princess Chen is right. Then Chen Bangzu, please test the needle as well." Emperor Kang Yuan nodded and looked at Chen Bangzu who was standing aside.
Upon hearing this, Chen Bangzu immediately stepped forward and bowed. He picked up the silver needle and sniffed it on his nose, then frowned. Seemingly unsure, he sniffed it again, and then his expression immediately changed.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Kang Yuan: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this silver needle. It has been soaked with some juice of the blue silver tree. If you use this needle to bleed, even the blood of your biological father and son will not fuse. .”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Kang Yuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He immediately looked at Concubine Ning who had been preventing the needle and water test. Concubine Ning also subconsciously slumped down from the chair.
"Your Majesty, I am a concubine... I am a concubine..." Concubine Ning immediately fell to the ground, her mouth trembling.
Eunuch Xu quickly stepped forward and knelt down, "Back to Your Majesty, I only prepared water. I didn't touch the needle. Please tell me."
After hearing this, Emperor Kang Yuan waved his hand at him, "I know, I trust you."
Then, he looked at Concubine Ning and said sternly: "What a good thing you did!"
Concubine Ning was so frightened by Emperor Kang Yuan's angry shout that she turned pale. She swallowed hard and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Facing this situation, Mo Ze, who had been silent for the whole time, smiled deeply. He looked at Concubine Ning coldly and said, "Concubine Ning is selfless after all. I'm afraid you set up today's situation, right? What happened to our couple?" I have offended you. You actually deliberately tried to frame us. This is a serious crime that involves confiscating your family and exterminating your family. Do you think you can escape!"
Concubine Ning immediately started waving her hands. She rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it's not me, it's my personal maid. She handed me the needle. I really don't know anything!"
Emperor Kang Yuan saw it and sneered, "Bring that palace maid in!"
After hearing this, Eunuch Xu immediately turned around and left the dormitory, and soon dragged Bingyun in.
Bingyun looked at the people in this room, obviously a little scared, she said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the blue silver tree is, I just took the silver needle casually, I don't know anything... "
"I knew she would say that!" The queen looked at the back of Concubine Ning's head with disdain and said.
After hearing this, Concubine Ning turned back to look at the Queen, her eyes immediately twinkling.
This scene was seen by Mo Zeyuan. He sneered and gave Lu Qingtang a sympathetic look.
Lu Qingtang whispered "cut" in his mouth, and then continued to lower his head and hold Mo Bao in his arms.
Mo Bao would have to get an injection on his finger later. Such a small child would definitely cry in pain. Lu Qingtang felt a little distressed. It would be great if the pain could be transferred to her body.
Mo Ze, who was next to him, deeply felt Lu Qingtang's uneasiness. He whispered: "I know you feel sorry for the child, and I feel sad too. I will definitely help you get rid of this bad breath later."
A blood test is unavoidable, but being able to use this time to completely dismantle Concubine Ning and others can be regarded as revenge for the humiliation suffered today.
"Take Bingyun down and tell him what he knows." Emperor Kang Yuan waved his hand casually.
Eunuch Xu responded and grabbed Bingyun's collar.
Bingyun knew what she was facing next. Her face turned pale and she subconsciously struggled to look at Concubine Ning.
But Concubine Ning didn't even look at her, she kept her head down, as if she felt guilty.
Such behavior made everyone present immediately understand that this Bingyun was instigated by Concubine Ning to take the blame.
But what they don't understand is why a biological mother would frame her own son. This is unreasonable and unheard of.
Of all the people present, only Lu Qingtang knew it well.
It's just that she needs to sell it off now, and it will take a while before people know what Concubine Ning is thinking.
After a while, Eunuch Xu came back. Chen Bangzu took out a brand new silver needle from the medicine box and asked Lu Qingtang to check it with him. After confirming that there was no problem, he started the blood test again.
Mo Zeshen first pricked a needle on the fingertip of his left hand. Bright red blood beads rolled down into the clear water, spreading like flames into the bowl.
Lu Qingtang took the silver needle from Mo Zeshen's hand. Her hands were shaking, and her heart hurt even more than a knife. The little Mo Bao didn't know anything. He only knew that being pricked by a needle hurt, so he subconsciously dodged it.
Mo Zeshen immediately grabbed his fleshy wrist. Lu Qingtang endured the heartache and pricked his fingertips gently. Eunuch Xu immediately held a bowl to collect the blood.
As the pain hit, Xiao Mobao burst into tears, and Lu Qingtang's heart was broken. She hugged Mo Bao, her heart trembling constantly, "I'm sorry Mo Bao, mother didn't mean it, I'm sorry..."
She couldn't help but shed tears. The bitter scenes of motherhood appeared in front of her eyes. How could she not hate being humiliated like this now?
"I'm sorry Tangtang, I'm sorry Mo Bao."
Mo Zeshen's voice was choked with sobs. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Lu Qingtang's face. He looked back at Concubine Ning, with anger in his eyes.
Concubine Ning, like everyone else, was focusing on the bowl of water.
The two masses of blood, one deep and one shallow, began to gradually merge into one with the shaking of the bowl. Except for Concubine Ning, everyone's hanging hearts were relieved.
Especially Emperor Kang Yuan, it was obvious that he breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was obvious.
He narrowed his eyes and waved to Mo Bao, "Bao'er, come to Grandfather Huang quickly and let you eat delicious fruits."
There were still tears on Mo Bao's face. He subconsciously took a step back after hearing Emperor Kang Yuan's words. When Lu Qingtang saw this, he whispered to him: "Mo Bao, come to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang likes Mo Bao the most."
Lu Qingtang only felt shameless when he said something against his will to a child.
But this is the royal family, and nothing can be done according to her temper, so she can only keep everything in her heart.
