Mo Ze's deep eyes were filled with impatience and indifference, and he didn't seem to trust Lu Qingtang. This feeling made her feel a little cold.
This was the first time that Mo Zeshen did not stand by her side to support her. Although she knew that Mo Zeshen acted like this because he did not know the truth, she still felt a little inexplicable sadness in her heart.
If you don't understand, don't understand. He will understand his painstaking efforts later.
Lu Qingtang simply stood up, handed the calligraphy treasure in his arms to Kou Dan, and walked quickly to Concubine Ning and asked her: "Concubine Ning, it's just a blood test. I dare you, don't you? You What are you feeling guilty about?"
"Lu Qingtang, you are so brave!" Emperor Kang Yuan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and pointed at her and said, "How many lives do you have to dare to show off in front of me? Xu Chun, drag her out and lock her up to think about your mistakes!"
Hearing this, Mo Zeshen couldn't kneel anymore. He blocked Lu Qingtang behind him and looked directly at Emperor Kang Yuan, "Father, the princess's request is very simple. Even the son and minister have always had doubts about why the mother and concubine would do this. Treat me like this, am I her child?"
On the surface he was talking to Emperor Kang Yuan, but in fact he was questioning Concubine Ning.
The pale-faced Concubine Ning couldn't help but swallow. She stretched out her trembling hands to tuck the broken hair behind her ears, and then said in a tearful voice: "Shen'er, I admit that I am a little biased. It’s because Qing’er is young. It’s the mother-in-law who is sorry for you. The mother-in-law promises that she will treat you well in the future, so don’t blame me..."
She said it so sincerely, as if it was true.
However, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but laugh. She looked at her coldly, "Stop acting, Concubine Ning, if you are sincere, a blood test will show you the truth! It will be better than you saying a thousand or ten thousand good words!"
"Yes, sister, you have to admit that you are partial. It is inevitable that Shen'er will be prejudiced against you. How about you do a blood test with him to dispel his doubts." The queen said with a smile on her face. , but his eyes were full of indifference.
She probably saw Concubine Ning's guilty conscience and guessed a thing or two.
Emperor Kang Yuan heard that the queen also agreed to drop blood for a blood test, so he asked Lu Qingtang, "Since you said that Concubine Ning is not Shen'er's biological mother, do you think you know who is his biological mother? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, this person is the Concubine Xian!" Lu Qingtang said, turning his attention to Concubine Ning again, "Concubine Ning knows about it. I wonder if what I said is right?"
Concubine Ning froze. She didn't expect that Lu Qingtang would know this secret after spending all day hanging out with the concubines.
She felt like she was completely finished, and she suddenly fell from the chair like a puddle of mud.
Needless to say, this move immediately verified Lu Qingtang's words.
Lu Qingtang saw Mo Zeshen take several steps back. If Eunuch Xu hadn't cleverly hugged Mo Mo in his arms, both father and daughter would have fallen down.
Seeing his pale face, Lu Qingtang suddenly regretted it at this moment.
How could he accept that the mother-in-law he had called his mother-in-law for more than twenty years suddenly turned into his enemy?
However, Lu Qingtang had no choice but to fire the arrow. If Concubine Ning hadn't pressed forward step by step, she would not have revealed Mo Zeshen's life experience in front of everyone.
There was silence all around. Everyone was shocked by Concubine Ning's actions, and at the same time realized that things seemed not that simple.
How could Mo Zeshen be the child of the Xian concubine? Wasn't the Xian concubine's child the dead baby girl?
In this case, whose child is the dead baby girl?
The Queen and Mo Zeyuan looked at each other, and the mother and son smiled knowingly. It seemed that Concubine Ning would not be able to stand up this time.
Emperor Kang Yuan was also deeply surprised. He immediately stood up from the chair again, as if the chair had a thorn on his buttocks.
He looked at Concubine Ning in surprise, his mouth slightly open, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Xu Chun, my concubine, prepare some water for a blood test!" Emperor Kang Yuan looked at Concubine Ning coldly and said to Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu immediately retreated and brought back the concubine soon.
Xu was informed of His Majesty's intentions in advance outside. As soon as the concubine entered the palace, she looked directly at Mo Zeshen with tears in her eyes. However, Mo Zeshen still had an indifferent expression on his face, seeming even more unkind than usual, which surprised Lu Qingtang.
Are you going to do bad things with good intentions this time?
Mo Zeshen didn't seem to care who his biological mother was, let alone who his biological mother was, and he felt some resistance to the woman in front of him who might be his biological mother.
Lu Qingtang felt a little uneasy as he saw Eunuch Xu bringing another bowl of water and handing a new silver needle to Mo Zeshen.
Mo Zeshen did not reach out to take the needle at first, but turned his head and stared in the direction of the wise concubine for a while. Upon seeing this, the virtuous concubine immediately stepped forward and stretched out her hand to Eunuch Xu, "Why don't I come first?"
Then, Mo Zeshen quickly reached out to take the silver needle and stuck it on his fingertips. The blood droplets jumped out, dripped into the crystal clear bowl, and instantly transformed into a bright red flower.
As the blood spread everywhere, Lu Qingtang could feel Mo Zeshen's displeasure. He must be blaming himself in his heart.
Out of guilt, Lu Qingtang reached out to hold his hand and give him some comfort, but unexpectedly he pushed her away. This surprised Lu Qingtang, and she looked at him with some confusion.
His stern face became a little strange, and Lu Qingtang suddenly seemed not to recognize him.
At this time, the concubine's blood also dripped into the bowl. Just as Lu Qingtang thought, the two drops of blood blended together, and the identity of the mother and son was finally revealed.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know whether they should look at Mo Zeshen or Xian Concubine. What did this have to do with Concubine Ning. Emperor Kang Yuan was even more shocked. Who would have thought that such a bizarre incident could happen in the strict forbidden palace.
"Your Majesty, there is actually no need to drop blood for a blood test. When I gave birth to Shen's son, I clearly remembered that he had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on his waist. It's just that I have a low status and dare not recognize each other. Please make the decision for me. Give justice to our mother and son!" Xian Concubine cried so hard that her face was filled with tears. She fell on the ground, her shoulders shaking.
After Mo Ze listened deeply to her words, he couldn't help but stretch his hands to his lower back, and his eyes began to turn red.
Emperor Kang Yuan shook his head, his face full of disbelief. He looked at Concubine Ning and said angrily: "What on earth is going on! What on earth is going on!"
At this moment, Concubine Ning's face had turned pale. She slowly raised her head and looked at Emperor Kang Yuan, her face covered with tears.
She wanted to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth. She didn't know how to explain, let alone how to alleviate her crime.
At this time, I heard the queen speak again, "Concubine Ning doesn't say it's okay. Doesn't that Bingyun have a mouth? She will definitely bring out anything under severe punishment. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"The queen is right, but she shouldn't be called Concubine Ning. She is just a commoner and deserves to be a concubine!" Emperor Kang Yuan looked coldly at Concubine Ning who was lying limply on the ground.
The queen nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and you must not take this kind of important matter lightly."
She said, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, and when she looked at Concubine Ning, she could not hide the pride in her eyes.
After all these years, Concubine Ning had taken over her position many times when she encountered obstacles, and she had climbed over her head many times by taking advantage of her favor. Now she was finally able to relieve the hatred in her heart.
