As soon as the carriage stopped, before Rong'er put down the stool, Qi Zi jumped out of the car, holding up her skirt and trotting into the princess's mansion.

"Princess, slow down, be careful not to fall," Rong'er shouted anxiously from behind.

Qi Zi ran even faster, as if she didn't hear anything.

Ye Jiu was reading a book in the study at this time. It was not fake that he liked reading. It was he who proposed the idea of ​​opening a bookstore as a cover.

"Ye Jiu," Qi Zi's voice came from outside the door, and the next moment she appeared at the door of the study.

Seeing Qi Zi running with sweat all over her forehead and panting, Ye Jiu took a handkerchief and wiped her sweat, "Why are you running? Are you in such a hurry?"

Qi Zi walked to the table, took a sip of tea, and motioned to Ye Jiu to close the door.

Ye Jiu didn't understand why, but he still did as he was told.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Qi Zi waved to Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu sat next to Qi Zi and poured her another glass of water.

Qi Zi drank it all in one gulp, leaned over to Ye Jiu's ear and whispered, "I suspect that the fourth brother is not my father's biological son."

It took Ye Jiu a while to react, then he stepped back instantly, his pupils trembling, "Ah?"

"Shh, keep your voice down," Qi Zi put her right finger at her lips and made a "hush" gesture.

He pulled Ye Jiu back with his left hand, "Also, I suspect that my mother is not the daughter of my grandfather or my grandmother."

Ye Jiu frowned, looking incredulous, "(⊙o⊙) What?"

"Do you have any medicine that can test blood relationship? I heard that blood can be used to test blood relationship." Qi Zi asked, holding Ye Jiu's hand.

Although Ye Jiu didn't believe what Qi Zi said, he still replied, "I have tried it before, and blood test is not feasible."

"As for the medicine to test whether we are blood relatives," Ye Jiu paused and thought carefully, "I will try to see if I can make it."

Qi Zi looked at Ye Jiu's expression and frowned, "You don't believe me?"

"Of course I believe you," Ye Jiu widened his eyes, as if shocked that Qi Zi didn't believe him.

Well, actually, he really didn't believe it.

Qi Zi believed his lies for a moment, but then she remembered that the man in front of her was a cunning, treacherous and lying spy from the enemy country, so it would be foolish for her to believe him.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Qi Zi grabbed Ye Jiu's ear viciously.

Ye Jiu quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Ye Jiu rubbed his red ears and asked, "What is the basis for your judgment?"

Qi Zi crossed her chest and glanced at him, "Today my mother summoned me to the palace," she glanced at Ye Jiu and slowly uttered two words, "Induce labor."

Ye Jiu looked embarrassed and coughed, "And then?"

"Then Mother said that she had a fourth brother when she was fifteen."

Ye Jiu scratched his head, "Is there something wrong?"

"My mother entered the palace when she was sixteen years old. Seven months after entering the palace, she fell and gave birth to my fourth brother."

Ye Jiu thought for a moment, "Is it possible that the two of them had an affair before entering the palace?"

Qi Zi thought it was right, but then she thought it was wrong, "If that's the case, why does mother always say that the fourth prince was born prematurely?"

Ye Jiu shook his head. He had seen Qi Yin before, and he didn't look like a premature baby.

"A baby born three months premature has a hard time surviving, and even if they are well cared for from childhood, they will be weaker than others."

"But I heard from Nanny that the fourth prince has been in good health since he was a child and has never been sick."

Ye Jiu thought for a moment and asked again, "What about the imperial concubine?"

Qi Zi's expression looked a little unnatural. She had reasons to suspect her Fourth Brother, but her mother was just making simple guesses.

Finally, Qi Zi gritted her teeth and told Ye Jiu, "My mother doesn't look like my grandfather or grandmother at all."

Then he muttered, "They are particularly biased towards boys, but my grandparents wouldn't be like that."

Ye Jiu was stunned, knowing that she was a princess but had such a mother and must have suffered a lot since childhood.

Ye Jiu sighed and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty and the Queen?" Qi Zi nodded without objection.

"How about having Baiweizhai for lunch?" Ye Jiu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Qi Zi was instantly happy, "Okay."

Ye Jiu turned around and told He Yun about this matter, and asked He Yun to discuss it with His Majesty and the Queen.

When He Yun received the news, he knew that the matter was of great importance, so he went to find Xuan Yelan without stopping.

After listening to He Yun's description, Qi Wuyou frowned. The novel did not say that the identity of the Fourth Prince was in doubt, and he eventually became the emperor of Qi.

As for Concubine Yin, she knew about her; it was mentioned in the novel.

Concubine Yin Jia was the childhood sweetheart of Prime Minister Yin. At that time, Madam Yin gave birth to a stillborn baby after ten months of pregnancy, so Prime Minister Yin simply treated Yin Jia as the child born by Madam Yin.

This incident was revealed after the Fourth Prince ascended the throne. After finding out that Yin Jia was not Madam Yin's child, Madam Yin was so angry that she died.

Qi Yin, who was already the emperor at that time, issued an order to bring Wu back and make her Yin Xiang's second wife.

As for whether Yin Jia was Yin Xiang's child, Qi Wuyou didn't know.

Qi Wuyou rubbed his head. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have finished reading the novel at all costs. It has been more than 40 years since the incident. Can we still find out the truth?

Xuan Yelan thought about it, looked at He Yun, and said, "It's hard to find out the background of Concubine Yin, but it's not difficult to find out Qi Yin."

"Over the years, Xuan Kingdom's spies have sent back countless pieces of information, including the truth about Concubine Yin's entry into the palace."

"As far as I know, Concubine Yin married into the palace because His Majesty the Emperor of Qi framed Concubine Yin's husband's family. Concubine Yin stayed in the Yin family for three months before entering the palace."

He Yun nodded, "Indeed."

"In that case, judging from the time, Qi Yin might have been pregnant at that time."

Xuan Yelan absolutely trusted Ye Jiu's judgment. Since he said Qi Yin was full-term, then he was full-term.

He Yun seemed to be thinking, "At that time, Concubine Yin was about to enter the palace. Is it possible that she went out to have an affair with someone?"

Qi Wuyou thought about it and felt that it made sense, "If the Fourth Prince is really not His Majesty's biological son, then the adulterer must be from the Yin Mansion!"

If it is true, then getting rid of the Yin Mansion is imperative, but there are so many men in the Yin Mansion that it is difficult to investigate.

"It seems that Mrs. Tang has to think of a solution," He Yun said in a low voice.

That night, at dinner time, Ye Jiu looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him that was obviously filled with ingredients, looked at Qi Zi, and raised his eyebrows.

Qi Zi felt guilty when being stared at, "Why are you looking at me? Eat!"

Ye Jiu chuckled, "This bowl of noodles has lost its color, aroma and flavor." After that, he smelled the noodles carefully, looked at the white powder floating on the noodle soup, and frowned, "You were too careless in giving the medicine."

Qi Zi pouted. She had indeed prepared herself to be discovered, even though the poison was not fatal.

Ye Jiu casually mixed the noodles, mixed the medicine in, picked up the noodles and took a bite.

"What are you doing? You know it's poisonous but you still eat it." Qi Zi was at a loss and quickly slapped the chopsticks out of Ye Jiu's hand.

She poisoned the food because she knew Ye Jiu would find out, so she should not have eaten it. Why didn't he play by the rules?
