Regarding Cheng Jinzhi's heart-touching words, Emperor Zhou was already shaken in his heart, plus Cen Feng's words, he would have listened a little more, thought for a moment, or bowed slightly, indicating that he was finally willing to give Cheng Jinzhi a chance.

"It seems that Cen Changsi's crimes against King Yan and Princess Yan are really magnanimous. As far as this king knows, the reason why King Yan had the opportunity to escape seems to be because someone told him in advance. ”

Seeing Emperor Zhou's change of attitude, King Qi and the crown prince glanced at each other worriedly, and they all showed displeasure.

When he said the word "whistleblower", his eyes were even more directed at Cen Feng, if it weren't for the lack of direct evidence, he would have already exposed the complaint in front of Emperor Zhou, and he would not have given Cen Feng a chance to speak for Cheng Jinzhi at all.

However, for King Qi to scold Huai so obviously, Cen Feng stretched his eyebrows and showed great disapproval.

"Lord Wang, since Princess Yan revealed her identity, you have been blocking in front of Your Majesty, pressing step by step, so that the lower officials always feel that you seem to be afraid of something?"

"Hmph, this king is sitting upright, and he is heartfelt about His Majesty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, what is there to be afraid of? This king is just worried, some people are sincere on the surface, but in fact, they rely on His Majesty's trust to harbor evil intentions, and they really have to guard against it. ”

"Enough!"

Listening to the endless verbal dispute between King Qi and Cen Feng, Emperor Zhou tightened the corners of his eyebrows and drank impatiently, and then looked at Cheng Jinzhi in front of him with heavy eyes.

"Cheng Jinzhi, since you keep saying that you have evidence to justify yourself, then I will give you this opportunity in front of the ministers today, if you dare to have the intention of bullying the king, I will definitely want your head to fall to the ground!"

"Yes, Thank You, Your Majesty. ”

Cheng Jinzhi bowed to Emperor Zhou very respectfully and thanked him, and took advantage of the moment he bent down to bite his lower lip with a solemn expression. When he raised his head, he regained his calm and composure.

"Actually, what the courtiers want to prove is very simple, as long as Your Majesty can prepare a bowl of water for the courtiers, Your Majesty will naturally get the answer you want. ”

"Cheng Jinzhi, this is a place to discuss the affairs of the family and the country, you dare to do such nonsense here, you are too much to treat the court and your father as a child's play!"

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi seemed to have a "big move" to release, the prince's heart tightened, and he was worried, but he could only grit his teeth to stop her, and he wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

After all, he had just been exonerated and returned to the palace, so he had to be cautious in everything, and if he made any impulsive actions in front of Emperor Zhou, it would naturally be a hundred harms to him.

"Chen'er, don't be impatient. Emperor Zhou glanced at the prince in a slightly surprised way, and randomly instructed the attendant beside him, "Go, just follow Princess Yan to get a bowl of water, I want to see, what other tricks can you play?"

"Father's ......"

Seeing this, the prince wanted to fight again, but he was glanced at by King Qi who looked gloomy on the side, and he could only barely calm down.

"No, you must know that even if I agree to these unreasonable demands you make now, if I can't prove anything by then, I will definitely double my punishment on you, and I will not show mercy, you had better think about it carefully. ”

"Yes, the courtiers just said that the courtiers dared to risk their lives to break into the palace today, and they had already put life and death out of the way. If the courtiers' later answers do not satisfy His Majesty, and they want to kill or chop, the courtiers will all gladly accept it. ”

"Good!"

Looking at Cheng Jinzhi's unwavering expression, Emperor Zhou's eyes were dark, and he seemed to be ready to watch the play.

"Since ancient times, there has been a blood test a hundred years ago, and it is still valid today. As long as each person takes a drop of blood and puts it in the bowl, if the blood can be fused, it can be considered to be related. ”

As soon as Cheng Jinzhi said this, whether it was the courtiers under the hall or the Emperor Zhou on the dragon throne, including the prince beside her, they all suddenly understood what she was going to do next.

But no matter whether the prince's background is really suspicious or not, after all, this matter is about the royal face, and it should not be exposed in front of the ministers without concealment.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone has already guessed what Cheng Jinzhi's purpose is at this moment. If Emperor Zhou suddenly changed his attitude at this time to stop her blood test, it would inevitably make everyone present think that he had a weak heart, and it would also arouse suspicion and discussion in everyone's hearts, thus shaking the storage position.

This is also the reason why, knowing that this matter is related to the reputation of the royal family, Cheng Jinzhi did not ask Emperor Zhou to let the ministers recuse themselves.

At the beginning, if the rumors about the prince's life experience were not too fierce, Emperor Zhou actually didn't pay much attention to it, and only thought that it was a despicable act committed by Nan Chu in a bad plot.

In addition, Gao Heng later colluded with the enemy country to rebel, so he even persuaded himself that this matter was deliberately fabricated by Gao Heng in order to frame the prince.

It's just that even so, the thorn in his heart will still take root in the dead of night, and it still can't be removed.

So after weighing it, he still acquiesced to Cheng Jinzhi's seemingly absurd behavior.

But the crown prince is different, even though Empress Zhao has tried her best to deny that this rumor is purely false, but whenever he mentions this matter, he can always see some flickering and forbearance in his mother's eyes.

made him always feel that in this important matter, Empress Zhao actually hid something from him.

"Blood test, Cheng Jinzhi, what do you want to do?"

Looking at the bowl of clear water in front of him that reflected his frightened complexion, the prince clenched his sleeves, and the whole person began to become more and more nervous.

He made a comeback from the "old case of official bank", and now he finally overthrew Gao Heng's stable position as the prince, and he can no longer withstand any turmoil and blows.

What's more, if the royal blood on his body is really doubtful, this kind of blow will undoubtedly be unrecoverable.

However, Cheng Jinzhi did not pay attention to the prince's restlessness, but walked to the bowl containing clear water, took the lead in picking up the dagger on the side, cut his fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl.

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi actually dripped his own blood into the bowl, instead of asking the prince to verify it as they expected, everyone looked surprised and puzzled, and began to wonder what she wanted to verify.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Cheng Jinzhi turning a blind eye to the doubtful gaze around him, and then moved his gaze to Gao Xun, who had been eager to try it for a long time, and made a gesture of invitation to her.

Gao Xun had already learned of Cheng Jinzhi's plan before he went to court, and at this moment, he naturally stepped forward and followed Cheng Jinzhi's example to cut his fingers and drip his own blood into the water bowl.

A moment later, in the disbelief of everyone's exclamations, I saw that the two drops of blood in the bowl, which were not related by blood in any case, were silently fused together......
