Jing Wenxi understood what the others thought. She smiled and said, "this master has told me that the man who brought lady Jing to Ningguo temple is master Wu Na's friend. But you won't believe me. Although you don't believe me, I have a way to tell if she is the real princess Hui Guo."
"Really? What method? " Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Wenxi with a slight smile.
"Drip the blood and see if she is your daughter." Jing Wenxi raised her head with a proud look.
Yun Shang heard all kinds of voices in the palace. Listening carefully, the majority had agreed the plan. "It's just a drop of blood. Since a drop of blood can reveal one's identity, it's much easier."
Emperor Ning looked at Yun Shang coldly without any sign of joy or anger, "what do you think?"
Yun Shang smiled and stood up, "the master told me that it's solid. If I retreat, I'm afraid people will suspect me in the future. It's just a drop of blood. Although I'm afraid of pain, I can feel that it's a trade on point."
Emperor Ning nodded. "You're indeed my daughter. You're a responsible woman."
Hearing this, all the people looked at Yun Shang thoughtfully. It seemed that the person sitting on the dragon throne was not stupid. Jing Wenxi had explained to the emperor with these monk for a long time, but the Emperor didn't seem to believe her. Jing Wenxi raised her eyebrows, stood still and said nothing. Emperor Ning ordered. "Go to prepare clear water for her."
The sound of the melody from the hall became clear. Everyone was discussing the matter in front of him. Emperor Ning frowned and looked around the hall. After seeing the expressions on everyone's face, he finally withdrew his gaze.
After a while, a eunuch came in with a plate in his hand, with a small bowl on it. He walked into the hall steadily, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the water is here."
Emperor Ning nodded and stood up. He walked down the stairs, followed by Yun Shang. Then emperor Ning took the knife on the plate and swept his finger. Blood dripped from the knife and dropped into the bowl. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the bowl. A faint smile appeared on her face. She took the dagger from emperor Ning, and swiftly swept her fingertips. Blood flew into the bowl, and a clear sound was heard.
Emperor Ning frowned. Jing Wenxi laughed. "Your Majesty, see? The blood doesn't melt."
Hardly had Jing Wenxi's words faded away, a burst of discussion broke out in the hall. How could it be? Did Jing Wenxi and the monk tell the truth? Now the exceedingly beautiful lady Jing is not really Princess Hui Guo, but a fake?
Hearing the sound of the bowl, Yun Shang smiled and swept the bowl down
"Your Highness! What are you doing? " Wenxi changed her face and looked at Yun Shang angrily, "do you think you can cover the truth that you are not the real princess Hui Guo by destroying the bowl? Can you conceal the truth that you killed her highness? "
Emperor Ning and all the people stared at Yun Shang with suspicion. Yun Shang noticed all the others' reactions. When she turned around, she found that Prince Jing was sipping his tea leisurely as if it was none of his business. Yun Shang chuckled, "Miss Jing, you are thinking too much. I knocked over the bowl because I wanted to tell you there was some oil in the bowl. Blood doesn't match water, whether it's family members or not."
Yun Shang saw Jing Wenxi's face turn bluish, so she smiled and said, "Miss Jing, you are really good at dealing with people. First, you found the lowest ranked monk in the ning'guo temple to prove for you that I murdered Princess Hui Guo and played the substitute. I assume that although people will doubt it, they won't believe it. Just take advantage of the situation to offer a way to confess one's blood and identity, which is the most popular way used by the folk, and also the most effective way up to now. Plus, a drop of blood alone is enough to prove your innocence. You are sure that I will be manipulated by you..."
"Haha..." Yun Shang sneered, "I didn't know that Miss Jing is so capable that she can even bribe a eunuch from the Jinluan hall to serve you..."
All eyes fell on the hall. The thing in the bowl was not like clear water, but rather viscous. It slowly flowed on the ground made of jade.
Hearing Yun Shang's words again, they were instantly ashamed of their suspicion, but they never expected that Jing Wenxi dared to do so brazenly in front of all the ministers and his majesty at Jinluan hall. It was because of this that they almost fell into her trap.
Thinking of this, Yun Shang told Prince Zheng calmly, "master Zheng has served my father for many years. I believe in him, so please go and get some water by yourself."
Lord Zheng looked up at emperor Ning. Emperor Ning nodded, and master Zheng bowed and walked out of the Jinluan hall.
Yun Shang stood quietly in the Jinluan hall and looked up at the carved dragon on the pillar. She smiled as if in a good mood.
Emperor Ning lowered his head, lost in thought.
