When the prince saw that Qiao Tianjing suddenly stopped talking, he couldn't help asking: "Da Lang, what happened to Sheng Xiuran?"
Qiao Tianjing came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after I rescued Sheng Xiuran, I found that her temperament had changed drastically, and she was even more protective of the almshouse."
"Then Sheng Xiuran exchanged terms with me, and then revealed a big secret to me!"
At this point, even though Qiao's residence was very safe, Qiao Tianjing still approached the prince and whispered:
"Sheng Xiuran said that she heard what Uncle Zhou said with her own ears. His Highness is not the Holy One's biological father. His biological father is Di Zaiying, a spy from the Northern Kingdom who has been executed!"
"What!?"
The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince both let out low voices. Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head, taking her time to admire the expressions of the two brothers.
Let alone the fourth prince, he was still young after all, and he was usually very happy, so the shock on his face was not hidden at this time.
Fourth Prince: ↷( ó╻ò)
After all, the prince was Bai Yueguang. He could barely maintain his elegance at the moment, but he was so shocked that his pupils could be described as trembling.
Prince: (◎_◎;)
"This...how is this possible!"
The prince was the first to react. He couldn't help but pace back and forth, showing that his mind was in a state of confusion.
"There are records of all the concubines and concubines in the palace. Every month, the imperial physician checks Ping An's pulse and calculates the date of pregnancy."
"If there is a mistake in this, it's impossible for my father not to notice it, and it's impossible for the imperial doctor to hide it and not report it."
"Dalang, are you sure Sheng Xiuran...are you sure it's not nonsense?"
The prince actually knew in his heart that Sheng Xiuran could not joke about such a big matter.
However, the father was attached to Concubine Jade, favored his second brother for so many years, and suppressed him and his mother a lot. As a result, the second brother was not a member of the royal family at all. How ironic and ridiculous this is!
At this moment, the first thing that surged in his heart was not excitement or ecstasy, but uncontrollable sadness and endless distress for his mother!
"Dalang, can Sheng Xiuran provide evidence?"
The prince's voice was slightly hoarse and he asked in a trembling voice.
Qiao Tianjing shook his head, "Your Highness, Sheng Xiuran just heard what Uncle Zhou said. The rest needs to be verified by ourselves."
"You also know that if this kind of thing is done accidentally, I'm afraid it will be widely implicated..."
"If even Uncle Zhou misunderstands, the second prince is really the Holy Emperor's flesh and blood. Just a crime of spreading rumors will make the second prince seize the opportunity to bite back. By then, I am afraid that both His Highness and my Qiao family will be in danger!"
The prince took a deep breath. After all, his character had been tempered many times, and he slowly calmed down at this moment.
"What Dalang said makes sense, but how can we prove the blood relationship?"
Qiao Tianjing's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and according to the statement he had discussed with Qiao Jiaojiao yesterday, he spoke with some guilt:
"Your Highness, I heard that there is a method among the people to test the relationship by calling a drop of blood. Maybe you can give it a try."
The prince's brows furrowed slightly, "I have heard of this blood test for parentage, but... can it be done accurately?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head, "Your Highness, I don't know this, but if you don't give it a try, how can you be willing to accept it?"
"Actually, His Highness should also know in his heart that this matter of asking for a test is to let us know in our minds. How this matter will end depends on the attitude of the Holy One."
Qiao Tianjing has said this sentence deeply enough, so there is no need to say more.
The prince's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Yes, there was no sign before, so he naturally didn't expect that there would be doubts about his second brother's life experience.
Now that Sheng Xiuran has taken the lead, the most important thing is to seize the time to find out the omissions made in the past and then find out what the father is thinking!
As for the blood test, if things go wrong at that time, the dead horse will be treated as a living horse doctor. Whether it is the father or the second brother, it is possible that this method will be proposed.
If he and Dalang could try it in advance, they would know exactly what to do and come up with countermeasures in time!
Whether it is to keep his position as crown prince, or to maintain Dayong's orthodoxy and draw a clear line with the Northern Kingdom, there is absolutely no way that the throne will fall to the second brother!
Thinking of this, the prince's eyes darkened.
The deep palace is filled with treacherous waves, true and false, and he cannot escape from the secular world like a pure lotus without being stained by the slightest bit of mud.
Second brother, second brother, when the time comes, what is false will be false, and what is true... will also become false!
"Then try it!"
The prince made the final decision.
"I heard that the blood test requires a drop of blood from the person being tested, but is this true?"
Qiao Tianjing nodded.
The prince's reaction was also very quick. After all, Qiao Zhongguo's trip to the south was not hidden from the prince at all, and he even told the prince that the second prince would use a bitter trick.
"Second brother's blood, I'm sure Mr. Qiao will find a way, right?"
Qiao Tianjing continued to nod.
After pondering for a while, the prince said bluntly: "I and my second brother have the same father and mother. Can it be achieved with my blood?"
Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?
[Hey, I suddenly got a new idea! 】
[Half brothers are also related by blood. Let me see if the talisman can be used...]
Qiao Jiaojiao quickly called out the Merit Mall and read the instructions carefully.
[The paternity identification talisman is a must-have for palace and house fights. Drop the blood of two people on the talisman. If the two are related, the talisman will burn spontaneously. If they are not related, the talisman will turn black. 】
【sure! The prince's blood can also be used! 】
"However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let me use my blood as a backup. I will find a way to use my father's blood."
The prince suddenly added in a deep voice.
Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?
[Prince, are you so fierce? What you said makes me feel that Emperor Yong’s blood is as easy to pick as the flowers on the roadside! 】
Qiao Tianjing could understand the prince's thoughts very well.
This opportunity is so rare that His Highness the Crown Prince must not want to make any mistakes.
And when the time comes, the Holy Emperor and the second prince may also use the method of blood recognition. The prince wants to be prepared in advance...
Qiao Tianjing also felt a lot more relaxed when his assistant prince was so able to handle things.
The overall situation of this battle seems to be a fight with the second prince, but in fact it is a fight with the Holy Lord. According to the words of the little sister, it is still a fight with the halo of the protagonist and a fight with the sky!
The prince quickly returned to the palace with the fourth prince, and dinner was served at the Queen's Yikun Palace.
However, both the prince and the fourth prince ate this meal absentmindedly.
The queen naturally knew her two sons very well. After dinner, she dismissed all the palace guests and asked her confidants to guard outside the palace. Then she spoke warmly:
"Zhan'er, Xiaosi, what happened in Qiao Mansion today?"
The two brothers looked at each other after hearing this. The prince felt depressed, and the fourth prince even threw himself into the empress's arms.
When the Queen saw this, she couldn't help but become frightened.
"What's wrong? Zhan'er, tell me quickly."
The prince let out a long sigh, suddenly stood up and sat next to the queen, and spoke in a low voice.
"Varied--"
The confidant was guarding the door with a vigilant look on his face, and suddenly heard the Queen's half-whisper coming from the palace, and then completely covered it up.
She looked back with some surprise.
As the empress's closest confidant, she has never heard her lose her temper like this for a long, long time...
