Imperial Concubine Rong and Imperial Concubine Xian tightened their throats together and deliberately raised their handkerchiefs to wipe the corners of their mouths to hide their embarrassment.

In fact, Luo Nianxi didn’t think much of everyone’s suspicion. Not to mention the emperor and the queen, except for her and Leng Yiyan, anyone else would be suspicious of this.

After a while, Sijin was brought in by Bai Lan. Queen Jiang waved to Zhuhua, who took two steps forward and took the child from Bai Lan.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became very tense, and Leng Yiyan's face also turned ugly.

He saw Queen Jiang holding the child and hurried forward to explain.

"Look, mother, how much this child looks like me. In my opinion, you don't need to waste any more energy. This is your grandson."

Queen Jiang did not look at him, but instructed the imperial physician standing in the hall:

"Take a good look at this kid. How much does he look like Yan'er?"

The imperial doctors took two steps forward with fear and staggering steps. Looking at the baby in Queen Jiang's arms, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

How could they dare to answer carelessly when asked to judge whether the child resembled Prince Yan? This was a really tricky task.

They were just imperial doctors. They didn't dare to offend Prince Yan on the left, nor did they dare to deceive Queen Jiang on the right.

After the imperial doctors hesitated for a while, the leading imperial doctor clasped his fists and replied:

"My queen, the baby is too young, and his facial features haven't fully developed yet, but he does look a bit like Prince Yan."

The imperial physician did not dare to say anything too sure or too final, and could only give an ambiguous reply.

Hearing this, Queen Jiang's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Humph! You guys are so short-sighted. How come I didn't see the resemblance? After the blood test, if he is not Yan'er's child, you guys can just wait for your heads to be chopped off!"

Hearing this, the imperial doctors all bowed their heads, looking terrified.

"Someone, prepare some clean water."

Obviously, she wanted to confirm whether the child was Leng Yiyan's biological child through blood test.

At this time, Leng Yiyan's face became even uglier. He knew clearly that the child was not his. If he used the blood test to identify the child, the truth would surely be revealed. What should he do?

Luo Nianxi's mind was working rapidly. From what she had learned, she could prove that blood test was an unscientific way of identifying relatives, but these ancient people insisted on believing it.

It seems that she has to find a way to crack it and make these dull ancient people believe it.

After a while, a servant from the mansion came in with a basin of clean water. Luo Nianxi quickly stepped forward and took the basin, "Step back, leave it to me!"

At the same time, when no one was noticing, she spilled some transparent and colorless substance hidden between her fingers into the basin.

She carried the basin to the stool where the servant had just placed it, then took two steps forward and said to Queen Jiang:

"Your Majesty, I understand that you and the Emperor have doubts about this. At first, Prince Yan also expressed doubts about this. Since everyone is here today, I would like to take this opportunity to resolve everyone's doubts. Your Majesty, please begin!"

Seeing how calm she was, Queen Jiang felt that she was deliberately hiding her inner panic.

She waved to the leading imperial physician.

"Doctor Hu, you come and collect the child's blood."

Hearing this, Doctor Hu shuddered and then agreed.

"I accept the decree."

Zhuhua carried the child to the basin of water, and Doctor Hu stepped forward with trembling hands.

At this moment, he hoped more than anyone else that the child was Prince Yan's. Just now, he said that the child looked three-quarters like Prince Yan, and he was also thinking of taking a gamble, just in case the child was really Prince Yan's.

Seeing that he was still afraid to take action, Zhuhua frowned and reminded him,

"Doctor Hu, the Queen is waiting, please hurry up."

Leng Yiyan also came over at this time. He looked at Luo Nianxi with a complicated expression, and Luo Nianxi gave him a relaxed smile.

In fact, Luo Nianxi was also feeling conflicted at this moment.

She knew clearly that the child was not Leng Yiyan's, but she still wanted to put this hat on him. If Guo Wei came to claim the child in the future, how would she explain to him?

But she had to find a way to cover up the lie she had already told. Under the current situation, she couldn't afford to think too much. She had to save the child first.

Finally, Doctor Hu used the silver needle in his hand to prick Si Jin's finger. Everyone watched as two drops of blood dripped from his finger. Then, with a "wow" sound, a child's cry instantly rang out in the main hall of Yan Jing Palace.

Hearing the child crying, Luo Nianxi motioned Bai Lan to come forward and take the child from Zhuhua. After Bai Lan's coaxing, the child finally stopped crying.

At this time, Doctor Hu looked at Leng Yiyan and bowed:

"Prince Yan, please..."

Leng Yiyan's heart was already beating wildly at this moment. With a cold face, he walked forward slowly. Without waiting for Doctor Hu to extend his hand, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut a cut on his finger. In an instant, a few drops of blood dripped into the basin.

He had already made up his mind. Next, he would tell his queen mother that no matter who the child belonged to, he would raise him as his own. If his queen mother disagreed, he would rather give up his position as prince, take Nian Xi away, leave Chang'an City, and never return.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two drops of blood in the basin, and Queen Jiang's expression was the ugliest.

Imperial Concubine Rong and Imperial Concubine Xian were watching the fun, laughing secretly with their lips pursed. They both seemed to have expected that the two drops of blood would never mix.

Doctor Hu's forehead also began to sweat at this time. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and prayed continuously in his heart. He was now very afraid to see the scene of the two drops of blood repelling each other.

The two drops of blood in the basin were moving slowly. Luo Nianxi was a little nervous at this time. Although she could use scientific methods to make the two drops of blood blend, the alum she put in was not enough. This was also her first time experiencing such a thing. What if the amount of alum was too low and it didn't work?

Leng Yiyan's face was so cold that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.

He clenched his fists tightly, waiting for the results to come out so that he could take his woman and children and leave this suffocating place.

At this time, Doctor Hu suddenly shouted,

"It's melted, it's melted, my lady, these two drops of blood have melted."

Hearing this result, Luo Nianxi breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Lan, who was holding four pounds, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she became even more suspicious about it.

Only she and the princess knew the origin of this child, but how could his blood be mixed with the prince's blood?

This scene also made Leng Yiyan confused for a moment. He was sure that this child had nothing to do with him, but how could their blood mix together?

He looked at Luo Nianxi with surprise, but she shook her head gently at him, then smiled bitterly, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

Queen Jiang finally let go of her worries. She breathed a sigh of relief and then greeted Bai Lan happily:

"Quick, bring my grandson here. I just saw this child and he looks kind to me. Now it is confirmed that he is my grandson."
