"Your Majesty, I am not talking nonsense. This is absolutely true and there is no falsehood."
The Queen seemed to be stunned by Concubine Qi's words and didn't know how to respond. She was unable to respond for a long time.
The emperor finally reacted.
He stood up and walked a few steps to Lady Qi, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, paused for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand to slap her. "How dare you!"
The emperor had obviously used great force in this slap, and Concubine Qi fell to the ground.
When he stood up again, there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
But her expression became more and more determined. "Your Majesty, I did not say anything nonsense. I swear on the Guarjia clan that if what I said today is false, the entire Guarjia clan will end up without descendants!"
The emperor did not think there was anything wrong with such an oath.
However, Concubine Qi's resolute expression made him feel uneasy.
He took a deep breath, stepped back, and sat down. "Since you said Concubine Xi had an affair, who was the adulterer? And what evidence do you have?"
"Your Majesty, the adulterer is... Prince Guo!"
Concubine Qi's words were like a thunderclap, shocking the emperor so much that his expression completely fell.
The Queen remained silent for a long time. Seeing that the Emperor did not speak, she finally said, "Noble Lady Qi, what you said is completely unfounded. How could Prince Guo have an affair with Noble Consort Xi?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the two of them were having an affair when Concubine Xi was banished to Ganlu Temple. Even the Sixth Prince and the Princess are the illegitimate offspring of Prince Guo!"
Concubine Qi spoke with such conviction that the emperor's brows twitched violently.
The Queen turned to look at the other party and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter...?"
"How did you learn this?"
Without responding to the Queen's words, the Emperor looked at Concubine Qi again and spoke coldly.
However, Concubine Qi did not show any sign of retreating, and even knelt upright at one point.
"Your Majesty, although I myself have not been blessed with childbearing, I have witnessed women becoming pregnant and giving birth since I was a child."
"When Imperial Concubine Xi's twins, a boy and a girl, were first born, everyone said they were startled by a wild cat, causing them to be born prematurely. But I've seen them before, and they clearly looked full-term. How could they be born prematurely at all?"
"I was suspicious, so I sent someone to Ganlu Temple to investigate. I discovered that Prince Guo had been visiting almost daily since Imperial Concubine Xi moved there. Each time he came, he and Imperial Concubine Xi would spend several hours alone in the meditation room."
"I wonder if the Emperor still remembers that before Concubine Xi returned to the palace, wasn't it just when news of Prince Guo's death reached the palace?"
At this point, Concubine Qi sneered, "Your Majesty, I suspect it was because Concubine Xi heard the news of Prince Guo's death and she herself became pregnant that she schemed to seduce Your Majesty in exchange for the opportunity to return to the Forbidden City!"
"And find a place for her two children to stay!"
What Concubine Qi said was well-reasoned and well-founded.
The emperor's face became even more gloomy.
After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Empress, send someone to summon Concubine Xi."
"emperor."
How can we let Zhen Huan come here at this time?
The queen was well aware of the other party's clever rhetoric.
With Qingying's words in mind, it is natural to settle this matter thoroughly first and not allow any further trouble to occur.
The Queen looked up at the palace and saw that besides her own masters, only Jianqiu was present. Then she continued, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If it were to be spread out so casually, it would damage the reputation of the royal family. I know Your Majesty is angry, but I beg Your Majesty to calm down for now. This matter still needs to be considered carefully."
The emperor's breathing suddenly became three times faster.
Just because of what the Queen said, she almost confirmed that what Concubine Qi said was true.
"Then according to the Queen, how should this matter be handled?"
The Queen was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "Your Majesty, the royal bloodline cannot be mixed. In my opinion, a blood test is necessary."
"Blood test?"
"That's right. If the results of the blood test are different, there's no need to ask any more questions. We'll know whether what Lady Qi said is true or not. This way, we won't alert anyone, the news won't have to be spread, and the royal family's reputation can be preserved."
