Adoption brings disaster
Chapter 148
These things have been prepared and decided long ago. Not to mention what happened today, even if it didn't happen, I would have found a way to resolve this matter.
Although there is now a way to go back, it doesn’t matter whether this matter is handled or not, but there is an old saying that goes, if you are prepared, then just do it.
I chuckled and said, "Since it's Uncle Prince Gong's suggestion, how can a junior like me refute the words of an elder? Naturally, I agree with it."
I said it casually, with a sense of certainty of victory. When the two loyal ministers who stood up saw it, they looked visibly panicked for a moment.
The Crown Prince didn't know what was going on today. He didn't even care about Prince Gong's face and directly advised: "Your Highness Qianqiu, you don't have to humiliate yourself like this."
"What did you teach me before? If someone wrongly accuses you, proving yourself is the most foolish thing to do. What we should do is to kill the person who wronged you. What's the difference between what you are doing now and proving your innocence?" His Royal Highness Prince Yong shouted in my mind.
His Royal Highness Prince Yong's voice was so loud that it made my head buzz. I subconsciously scratched my ears, but this action annoyed His Royal Highness Prince Yong even more, and the noise in my head became even louder.
"You actually did such a stupid thing. Have you lost your mind? If they have other stories after the blood test, what will you do? Are you going to satisfy them one by one? Or you said it yourself. Even if you show all the evidence to those who doubt you, they will still doubt you..."
His Royal Highness Prince Yong became more and more annoyed as he argued, and in the end he was almost roaring, but I ignored him and just treated him as background music.
Seeing that I still ignored him, His Royal Highness Prince Yong's eyes were already extremely fierce. He secretly calculated in his heart, but he stared at Prince Gong regardless and said, "Granduncle, I see that the Prince of Gong's Mansion does not look like you. Since we are both going to do a blood test today, why not do it together to ensure the inheritance of the royal bloodline."
This was a bit vicious. If Prince Gong verified the bloodline today, people would say that there was a rift between Prince Gong and his son. If he did not verify it, people would also say that Prince Gong had something to hide, and that the eldest son of Prince Gong's mansion was not born in a legitimate family and was not of royal blood.
Having said that, Prince Gong was in a difficult situation. If he ignored it, His Royal Highness Prince Yong was not someone to be trifled with, so he could not ignore it.
If he accepted this, he was afraid something might happen and he would become a laughing stock in the capital.
If we confront His Royal Highness Prince Yong head-on, it will be even more troublesome. First, His Royal Highness Prince Yong is a devil, and if we continue to confront him head-on, there is no telling what His Royal Highness Prince Yong will do.
Secondly, if he were to have a head-on confrontation with His Royal Highness Prince Yong, everyone's focus would change, and he would still become the topic of conversation in the capital, and by then he would become the laughing stock of the entire North Shang Kingdom. It would be better for him to die.
Just when Prince Gong was at a loss as to what to do, I turned my head to look at His Royal Highness Prince Yong and chuckled, "Everyone else believes that I am innocent. Don't you still believe me?"
After saying this, without giving His Royal Highness Prince Yong a chance to speak, he said in a loud voice: "Come, bring some water."
When the eunuch serving the emperor saw that I asked for water, he glanced at the emperor who was slumped on the dragon throne. Seeing that the emperor agreed, he naturally brought the water quickly without saying anything.
Seeing that I was about to perform a blood test, Prince Yong was naturally impatient and said, "Qianqiu, what exactly are you planning? You should know in your heart that the result of the blood test will definitely not be what you want. How do you plan to end it?"
Seeing His Royal Highness Prince Yong bring this up, I chuckled and said, "It seems you've known some things for a long time. Since you know, doesn't that mean others know too? If that's the case, then let everyone see it openly. As for how to end this, I have my own way."
The crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious one. King Yong really didn't know how he would protect me if I was convicted. He panicked and said, "What can you do? If we have to test our relationship with each other in public, how can I protect you?"
........................
I ignored His Royal Highness Prince Yong and just picked up the dagger handed to me by the guard, and was about to step forward to do the blood test. His Royal Highness Prince Yong held my hand and told me not to go with his eyes.
I knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yong was a martial arts expert. If he could control my vital points, I would be unable to utter a word. I quickly shook off his hand, and with a light cut of the dagger, a drop of blood from my hand flew into the bowl.
When His Royal Highness Prince Yong saw my blood enter the bowl, his face turned completely black.
As the guards helped Zhang Ge Lao up, pricked his finger with a needle and dripped blood, His Royal Highness Prince Yong was so furious that the aura around him surged. The people around him subconsciously took a few steps back before they could barely hold on.
His Royal Highness Prince Yong in my mind was already furious, and was cursing General Lu, Ah Er and everyone else.
Everyone gathered together, looking forward to the result.
"There is no fusion." Someone whispered.
Although the others also saw that there was no fusion, they did not dare to offend His Royal Highness Prince Yong, so they could only say: "I am afraid the time has not come yet, let's wait a little longer."
So, everyone stared at the blood in the bowl for a long time.
The one who was not afraid of death just now said weakly: "It's still not integrated, is it possible?"
...............................
After hearing this, the two loyal ministers were overjoyed. They pushed everyone away and picked up the bowls to look at the food.
Seeing that their blood did not mix at all, he shouted with great pride, "They are not father and son. Your Highness Qianqiu is the son of a lowly slave and is not worthy of being your father. Come quickly and take these two criminal slaves down."
The guards next to them remained motionless, just like before, as if they hadn't heard anything. However, the two men were now extremely arrogant. Seeing that no one moved, one of them actually pointed at General Lu and started cursing.
"Do you still want to protect this lowly slave Chen Jiu? If you do this, you will be guilty of the same crime as Chen Jiu. Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your family?"
Another person pointed at the historian Chen and the other man behind me and sneered, "For your own selfish gain, you two disregarded the laws of the land and colluded with that lowly slave Chen Jiu. You deserve to die together."
...............................
I just smiled faintly as I watched these two people jumping up and down like clowns. His Royal Highness Prince Yong also defended me with a dark face, "His Royal Highness Qianqiu was seriously injured a few years ago. Grandfather used a secret method to replace his blood. I think the blood incompatibility is because of this."
"Heh." These loyal ministers, who had always looked down on the powerful, were now so inflated that they showed no fear towards His Royal Highness Prince Yong. They said, "The evidence is irrefutable that this criminal slave Chen Jiu has committed deceiving the emperor. He can't be allowed to escape punishment just because of a few unprovoked remarks from His Royal Highness Prince Yong."
"How dare you!" His Royal Highness Prince Yong roared, "Whether Qianqiu is guilty or not is up to our father to decide. Who the hell do you think you are to humiliate His Royal Highness Qianqiu like this?"
His Royal Highness Prince Yong roared in anger, causing the two men to spit out blood.
Seeing that Prince Yong was about to kill someone, everyone naturally did not dare to offend His Royal Highness Prince Yong. Therefore, even though the two men fell straight to the ground, no one dared to help them.
Finally, I signaled to General Lu to have them both helped up. Then the guards helped them up and helped them breathe easier, and they finally came to their senses.
After being yelled at by His Royal Highness Prince Yong, the two of them naturally lost their previous arrogance. After getting up, they stood aside with their heads bowed, looking like obedient and loyal ministers.
I found their expressions funny, and couldn't help but think that although violence may not necessarily solve the problem, it can definitely solve the problem of the person who raised the problem.
I looked at everyone, smiled, and took out a book from my bosom. I said, "A few years ago, I established the Divine Craftsman Camp. Over the years, the Divine Craftsman Camp has achieved many results. One of them is the blood test of paternity. Ministers, you may be interested in taking a look."
None of the ministers wanted to see this, but Prince Yong didn't give them the chance. He sneered, "If you don't want to see it, do you suspect Qianqiu is the son of a lowly slave?"
The ministers took it trembling with fear, but then they heard the prince say, "I believe that His Highness Qianqiu is innocent. Please watch carefully and don't follow the foolish actions of these two people."
The two loyal ministers were already disappointed when they saw that the prince was also standing up for me. However, these two were just clowns and were not important, so they were not mentioned.
As the book was flipped through the hands of the ministers, they were all shocked by the contents, and those who had not seen it were even more anxious. The scene began to become a little chaotic.
Unexpectedly, Prince Gong also took out an identical book from his bosom and said, "This book is indeed good. You ministers can read it more when you have nothing to do." After that, he circulated the book to the ministers.
While the ministers were passing it around, I had already had one hundred bowls of water placed on the table, and twenty guards were standing in a formation of ten in each direction, ready to begin the blood test at my command.
None of those who can stand here are stupid. After reading the contents of the book and seeing this scene, and with my explanation, they all understood the truth at once and are ready to see if it is really as the book says.
Following my order, the guards dripped blood into the bowls on their respective lines as required, and the ministers gathered around, looking forward to the final result.
I sighed in my heart, "I will eventually leave. This Divine Craftsman Camp is my gift to this world. It's worth waiting for so long to put on such a grand show."
"Where are you going? I won't let you leave." His Royal Highness Prince Yong roared in my mind.
I was stunned for a moment. I was just thinking about it, but I didn't expect to say it out loud in my mind. This is not a good thing to do.
An idea suddenly struck me, and I said pitifully, "The moon waxes and wanes, people experience joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and even separations of life and death. Who knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow? I'm not leaving, I'm just prepared for the accident to come first."
His Royal Highness Prince Yong was not so easily fooled. After hearing this, he also yelled, "Don't give me these words. I don't know you yet. Tell me clearly where you are going, otherwise don't blame me for locking you up."
I still need to think of a good reason to make this matter go away. I can't argue with His Royal Highness Prince Yong now, or he can't get anything out of me. I hurriedly said, "The results are coming out soon. Let's talk about it when we get back."
After saying that, they also surrounded him and escaped from His Royal Highness Prince Yong's questioning.
Blood testing for paternity is unscientific. Although this experiment is not rigorous, it is sufficient for this era. Now everyone's attention is on the book compiled by the Divine Craftsman Camp, and everyone tacitly does not mention what happened before.
Seeing the result was out, Prince Yong could no longer wait and shouted, "My ministers, are you okay? I'm feeling a little unwell. If you're okay, I'll go back to the palace with His Highness Qianqiu."
His Royal Highness Prince Yong did not give me a chance to think of an excuse. He simply grabbed me, saluted the weak emperor on the throne, and left.
At this moment, a man suddenly rushed in from outside. He rushed to Prince Gong, knelt down and began to confess his guilt, "I am guilty, I am guilty again."
Then he pointed at Prince Gong and shouted, "Prince Gong used the eldest and second young masters to threaten my master, saying that if he didn't frame His Highness Qianqiu, he would kill the two young masters. My master had no choice but to act crazy and frame His Highness Qianqiu."
This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. Even the emperor opened his eyes wide in shock and said word by word, "Absurd."
"Your Majesty, please understand!" the butler cried, pulling out two memorials from his bosom. "This is the evidence Prince Gong is using to threaten my master. It details the facts of the eldest and second young masters secretly selling military equipment."
Zhang Ge Lao was no longer as weak as before. He jumped up and grabbed the certificate in the butler's hand. His movements were so fast that it was impossible to tell that he was an old man who didn't know martial arts.
This kind of shocking news is not available at any time. Not only will the guards not let Zhang Ge Lao succeed, even these civil servants have to use all their strength to stop Zhang Ge Lao.
"You ungrateful bastard, have you forgotten who took you in when you were homeless and nearly starving to death? I used your son's heart and liver to treat an illness, not just to eat your son's liver. And you actually want my whole family to be buried with your son."
Everyone was caught off guard before, but now everyone was horrified. The timid ones stayed away from Lord Zhang, fearing that if they got too close, they would be contaminated by something unclean.
I never expected this drama to develop into the farce it is today, but I also firmly believe that what the housekeeper said is absolutely false.
With Prince Gong's power, even if he really wanted to make a false accusation, it would not be considered a false accusation. He would not even need to take action. He only needed to give a glance and countless people would work hard to make the matter perfect.
What's more, the evidence was obtained by a small housekeeper. This kind of mistake would never happen to Prince Gong, who had been infiltrated into the court for many years.
But no matter whether this matter is true or false, it has become a huge scandal, and an explanation must be given to the onlookers. In the end, His Royal Highness Prince Yong was anxious to take me back, and Prince Gong wanted to avoid suspicion, so he had to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interrogate me thoroughly and give Prince Gong justice as soon as possible.
Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
