Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 299 Then She Added Another Bunch of Firewood

As soon as these words were spoken, and Emperor Xuanhe looked at the letters in his hand that were exchanged between Jiang Qi and Prince Zhan, which clearly stated the planning and rebellion, his murderous eyes instantly swept over Prince Zhan, who was standing quietly and invisible at the side.

"Your Majesty, this matter is unjust. I have absolutely no intention of disloyalty, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Jing. As for Prince Qi, who is so outstanding, how could he be the child of a lazy prince like me?"

Prince Zhan also seemed to be quite frightened. He hurried out and knelt on the ground, and began to explain tremblingly, his slightly fat body shaking.

The others didn't know whether Xuan Hedi believed Prince Zhan's words at this time. Only Wei Quanfu, who was standing aside, saw Xuan Hedi's tightly clenched hands with bulging veins.

"What is your evidence, woman?"

Afterwards, everyone only heard Xuan Hedi's low voice, as if mixed with anger and forbearance, asking the woman who came in at the beginning and said her name was Yin Yu.

"Your Majesty, I, Yinyu, whose original name is Dongmei, was once the personal maid of Song Xiuyi, the current Consort Jing. I can prove that Prince Qi, Jiang Qi, is Prince Zhan's biological son."

Then Yinyu talked about her past as an adult. According to Yinyu, Song Xiangling was young and fell in love with Prince Zhan. Unexpectedly, the emperor issued an imperial decree suddenly that all female officials of any age must participate in the election.

The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so Song Xiangling and Prince Zhan at the time made an agreement that Song Xiangling would find a way to fail in the selection.

No one knows whether it was against her wishes or it was God's will, but Song Xiangling passed the selection and entered the palace smoothly. She was betrothed to Emperor Xuanhe, who was the crown prince at the time, and was canonized as a concubine. Since then, Song Xiangling sent letters to Prince Zhan, the general meaning of which was "Once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. From now on, Xiao Lang is just a passerby."

Unfortunately, Song Xiangling came from a humble family and was not favored by the prince after entering the palace. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she met Prince Zhan in the back garden. At that time, the two were already depressed and drunk, and then something happened that should not have happened.

It just so happened that the two had a child after one night. I still remember that when Yin Yu found out that Song Xiangling had an affair with Prince Zhan after entering the palace, she secretly advised her not to do this.

Although she was also Song Xiangling's maid at that time, she was naturally straightforward and could not win the favor of her master like Madam Qu who was by Song Xiangling's side now. In addition, her persuasion made Song Xiangling unhappy.

Later, Song Xiangling advised the then Queen Xia to release Yin Yu from the palace to get married on the grounds that she was of age. Yin Yu had no intention of leaving the palace and leaving her young lady at that time, but she also understood that Xiu Yi no longer needed her, so she was released from the palace in despair.

Unexpectedly, after she left, she was chased as soon as she stepped out of the city gate of Yudu. From a few words, she learned that it was Song Xiuyi who wanted to kill her to silence her. She was injured and rolled down a cliff. She was rescued by her current husband who was hunting. Since then, she has changed her name to Yinyu.

After Emperor Xuanhe listened to Yinyu's detailed account of the past, he had some vague impressions in his mind. The year before he ascended the throne, there was a beauty contest. Later, in the first year of Xuanhe's reign, there was also an incident where palace maids were allowed to leave the palace. It was Queen Xia who proposed this to him, and he agreed.

In fact, at this point, Emperor Xuanhe had basically believed what Jiang Jin said. His good concubine seemed gentle, quiet and elegant, but he didn't expect that she had cheated on him so early!

His face was so ugly that it looked like water was dripping out. Looking at Jiang Qi and Jiang Xuanyi kneeling on the ground, he thought about how he had raised a son for this good brother for so many years, and his eyes turned red with anger.

"Father, I am innocent, and so is Mother! This is all one-sided. It's obvious they were behind this to get rid of me, so that in the future, I, Jiang Jin, will be the only legitimate son left to your father."

Jiang Qi saw Xuan Hedi staring at him angrily, as if he was looking at a dead object, and he was very nervous, but he still remained calm and found Xuan Hedi's weakness, provoking and magnifying Xuan Hedi's suspicion of Jiang Jin.

When Emperor Xuanhe heard Jiang Qi's words, he understood that this made perfect sense. He turned to Wei Quanfu and ordered, "Send someone to invite Concubine Jing over!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Quanfu nodded slightly, then quickly left and instructed his apprentice Deyuan to go and invite Concubine Jing. With a turn of his eyes, he whispered, "Be a little confused."

After hearing what his master said, Deyuan immediately understood what Wei Quanfu meant. He guaranteed that he knew nothing about this matter and would definitely not reveal a single detail to Concubine Jing!

Emperor Xuanhe was not very willing to grant Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin's wishes on this matter. After all, if Jiang Qi was also gone, his only healthy and undisturbed sons would be Jiang Jin and Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was born to a palace maid and had no support from his maternal family. Jiang Jin was so capable and skillful that basically no one dared to compete with him.

Wouldn't that mean the court would become Jiang Jin's world, and wouldn't he, the emperor, become just a decoration?!

He won't allow this to happen!

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the confused faces of the courtiers in the hall, and then saw Prince Zhan crying out for justice, and Jiang Qi looking even more aggrieved, so she curled her lips speechlessly.

This dog emperor is indeed a thousand-year-old turtle, he can really hold it in!

There was green grassland above his head. After his anger, in order to suppress Jiang Jin, he did not easily conclude that Jiang Qi was not his son, even though the evidence seemed to be conclusive.

In that case, she added more fuel to the fire. She didn't believe that even if the matter was already settled, a man could still openly say that the illegitimate child of his wife and the other man was his biological son!

"In fact, since ancient times, there has been a method that can reliably verify whether a person is a close relative."

Then Mu Jiaojiao looked around and spoke sincerely to Xuan Hedi, who was trying to suppress the matter.

"Could it be that you're talking about a blood test? It's said that this ancient method is very accurate!"

Jiang Jin watched Mu Jiaojiao finish her words and then continued naturally. He had been influenced by Mu Jiaojiao and knew that blood tests were not accurate. But since his wife said so, he must have a way to deal with it.

Jiang Qi listened to Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao talking in unison, and felt more and more uneasy. He knelt in the hall with his hands trembling in his sleeves.

Things have developed to this point, Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao are pressing forward step by step. Although Xuan Hedi has the overall situation in mind, he secretly wants to know whether the matter is true or not.

"Test it!"

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. Your body and hair are given by your parents. This action will harm the health of your body. I think it is not advisable!"

At this moment, the officials who secretly supported Prince Qi tried to stop it by speaking out against the idea that they could not destroy the emperor's body.
