"How... How can this be......"

Seeing that the two drops of blood in the bowl in front of him that were not related by any blood were actually fused, almost everyone invariably let out an exclamation of amazement, and even the prince, who was originally worried, was stunned and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Emperor Zhou's face was even more red and white for a while, as if he wrote the nine big characters "I don't read much, don't lie to me".

And seeing that he and Cheng Jinzhi had become relatives of "blood thicker than water", Gao Xun, who was originally nervous, was obviously taken aback, and only after a while did he say something with a strange expression.

"Golden Bough, we... It turned out to be a brother and sister. ”

Staring at the mysterious bloodstains in the bowl, Cheng Jinzhi frowned, but did not respond to Gao Xun, but deliberately glanced at Cheng Yan, who was standing among the ministers with a somewhat embarrassed face.

After a moment of hesitation, he quickly grabbed Cen Feng's hand on the side, slashed his fingertips with a dagger, and dripped blood into the bowl.

And what is also unexpected is that this Cen Changsi, who has no blood relationship with the Great Zhou royal family, his blood was also fused with the blood of the two people in the bowl.

"It seems that this bowl of water can make the whole world a family. ”

Cheng Jinzhi put down the dagger sharply, a star flashed in his eyes very quickly, and then his eyes sank, and he knelt down towards Emperor Zhou with indignation, and said every word loudly.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers must have a problem with this water! According to the courtiers, there must be someone who is a thief with a weak heart, and is worried that the courtiers will expose his unsightly things, so they deliberately obstruct the courtiers in a vain attempt to deceive Your Majesty!"

As soon as Cheng Jinzhi said this, he saw that Emperor Zhou's chest was stagnant, and he glanced thoughtfully at the stiff-faced prince in the hall. After thinking for a while, he summoned the imperial physician He Quan into the hall with a gloomy face.

Although I don't want to admit it, there is no second reason that can reasonably explain this absurd thing happening under my nose, except that this bowl of water has been secretly tampered with.

After all, Cheng Jinzhi, Gao Xun, and Cen Feng are not related by blood no matter what.

In the eyes of everyone, I saw He Quan walking into the hall unhurriedly, and after saluting Emperor Zhou, he didn't say anything else, but directly picked up the bowl and checked the water in the bowl.

After only a while, I saw his eyes turn, as if he already had a definite answer in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's observation, the reason why the blood of Princess Yan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Cen Changsi can be blended together is because this bowl of water has been mixed with Angelica Angelica powder. This powder is colorless and tasteless, dissolves in water, and as long as the water is added to the cent, even if there is no blood relationship, its blood can also be blended. ”

After hearing He Quan's words, there was naturally a whisper in the hall, and Emperor Zhou was even more shocked, and his eyes were already cloudy.

However, in fact, although Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun looked shocked on the surface, everything that had happened until this moment was actually as expected by the two of them.

The colorless and tasteless Angelica Angelica powder in He Quan's mouth, in fact, the moment Cheng Jinzhi raised the dagger and scratched his fingertips just now, he deliberately dipped the sleeve of the Angelica Angelica powder hidden in it slightly into the bowl and added it by her own hands.

Not long ago, when Cheng Jinzhi was in pain in the sudden death of Concubine Hui for a long time, thinking that the prince's return to the dynasty was her last chance to reverse the situation, she was still in pain in the end, and was ready to give it a last go.

It's just that, although it is almost certain that the prince's bloodline is doubtful, today is his last chance.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. If the final result is wrong or someone is obstructing it, doing everything possible to cover up and block the truth, this is tantamount to cutting off all her back roads and pushing the entire Yanwang Mansion to the abyss of the end of the road.

After all, almost half of the current palace and the current court have been controlled by Empress Zhao and the crown prince.

Therefore, Cheng Jinzhi thought of making a preemptive strike, taking the first step to move his hands and feet in the water, and acting in the opposite way to act in a play, so that everyone, including Emperor Zhou, had preconceived ideas, thinking that there were indeed people with bad intentions and trying to cover up.

This will not only make the ministers present and Emperor Zhou think that the prince's life experience is indeed suspicious, but also exacerbate the fear of the east window incident in the prince's heart, forcing him to be weak because of fear, so that he will be in chaos.

Because the moment she walked into the main hall, she clearly saw the fear of being secretly exposed in the prince's eyes.

In this way, although this is a gamble related to life and death, Cheng Jinzhi seems to have an extra chance and grasp in his hands.

After listening to what He Quan said, Emperor Zhou's already gloomy face became even more angry, and he immediately pointed the finger at Gong E, who had been sent to the water hall before, and asked sharply who was instigating.

That Gong'e was really wronged, even if she was so scared that tears rained down, she refused to admit her guilt. No matter how she pleaded for a defense, Emperor Zhou seemed to have decided that there were indeed ill-intentioned people trying to cover up some truths.

At this moment, facing a woman who suffered injustice because of herself, Cheng Jinzhi had mixed feelings and felt guilty.

At the same time, even if everyone didn't say anything, they had already guessed in their hearts who was doing their hands and feet in this bowl of water.

The atmosphere in the court became extremely awkward and delicate for a moment, as if a time bomb was quietly brewing, just waiting for someone to pick up a torch and detonate it.

And looking at the heavy forbearance in Emperor Zhou's eyes and his slightly trembling hands, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he had already anticipated the people and things standing in the shadows.

In order not to interrupt this seemingly smooth play, he hurriedly took advantage of the situation to ask for his life.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers implore Your Majesty to give the courtiers another chance to let all the truth come out!"

"Cheng Jinzhi, have you made enough trouble!"

And the prince's rapid shouting also added a bit of meaning to the eyes of everyone, "There are no silver three hundred taels here".

"Father, you must not let this scheming woman behave in the court again! What a drop of blood to test relatives, what Angelica powder, it is simply out of nothing, it is ridiculous! Come on, give this palace ......"

"Then His Royal Highness the Prince, do you dare to test it?"

Before the prince could finish speaking, he saw Cheng Jinzhi step forward with a fierce voice, his eyes like torches. Suddenly, the entire hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for the prince's answer.

Faced with Cheng Jinzhi's targeted questioning, the prince couldn't help but frown, and after a short silence, he saw that he raised his voice impressively.

But the words sounded, but after all, there was a little less confidence.

"Hmph, this palace is the prince of the Great Zhou, the prince of the prince, and those rumors outside are nonsense. You are acting this bloody confession in front of the ministers today, are you questioning the palace and the emperor!"

"Okay, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that those rumors outside are nonsense, and believes that he is the undoubted bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family, wouldn't it be a good thing to personally smash the rumors in front of His Majesty and the ministers today, solve everyone's doubts, and block the mouths of the people?"

Cheng Jinzhi's tone was still unhurried, strong and powerful, as if it was intended to contrast with the prince's angry excitement at the moment.

After a moment of silence, I saw that the corners of her lips hooked to meet the blazing fire in the prince's eyes, and a trace of cold contempt flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Or... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you dare at all?"10
