The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Jiang Qiuchi lowered his eyes slightly, with a look of fear on his face.

"Father, I don't know why you doubt my identity. I hope my father will be aware of it!"

Emperor Hongwu snorted coldly: "You still dare to deceive me now, come on!"

At this time, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and two guards hurriedly stepped forward.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Hongwu ordered with a cold look on his face: "Take this untouchable who pretends to be the seventh prince and take him to the Criminal Department. He will be tortured with words and deeds until he reveals the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"promise!"

Two guards came forward, one from the left and the other from the right. Just as they were about to take Jiang Qiuchi down, Su Ji hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I am humbled by my humble duty!"

Emperor Hongwu looked at Su Ji who suddenly broke in: "Su Ji, you came just in time. This person pretended to be Lao Qi and followed you into the capital. Do you know about this?"

Su Ji glanced at Jiang Qiuchi, then raised his hands and saluted the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why there is a birthmark on his arm that is exclusive to the Feng family? You have personally asked the imperial doctor to check the authenticity of this birthmark. A young man who looks exactly like the late empress is the same age as the seventh prince and still has a certain age. With the Feng family's exclusive birthmark, is there any coincidence in the world? Please think twice and don't be deceived by treacherous villains."

The old emperor's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked at Jiang Qiuchi with dark eyes.

"Since he knew everything about Lao Qi, he deliberately made this birthmark to deceive me. I'm afraid you have something to do with this matter. Su Ji, I have always trusted you. I didn't expect you to dare to collaborate with outsiders to confuse the royal bloodline. !”

Su Ji immediately knelt down: "The loyalty to Your Majesty in this humble position is a lesson to the world. If I dare to deceive Your Majesty in this humble position, I will be punished with Ling Chi. Your Majesty, if you don't believe that the Seventh Prince is your blood, you can admit your kinship with blood in public. If he It’s really not the Seventh Prince, it’s not too late for you to punish me.”

The old emperor calmed down with the words "recognize relatives with a drop of blood".

Yuan An dared to have an affair with the queen behind his back. How could he believe what such a person said?

Moreover, Jiang Qiuchi indeed looked very similar to the late empress, and there was a birthmark exclusive to the Feng family on her arm. These cannot be faked.

"Yang Zhong."

Yang Zhong, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Go and prepare a bowl of water."

The old emperor couldn't trust others, but Yang Zhong was the person he grew up with and the only person worthy of his trust in this deep palace.

"promise!"

Yang Zhong quickly exited and quickly prepared a bowl of water.

The old emperor cut his finger with a dagger and dripped blood into the water, and then let Jiang Qiuchi drip blood.

Jiang Qiuchi was a little flustered and looked at Su Ji from the corner of his eye.

Su Ji seemed to feel something, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, in order to clear up the misunderstanding between you and His Majesty, please test your innocence by bleeding in public."

After listening to Su Ji's words, Jiang Qiuchi clenched the dagger and made a cut on his middle finger, and blood instantly overflowed.

He pointed his finger at the mouth of the bowl, and a drop of blood dripped into the clear water. The old emperor personally descended from Longtao to check. Under the gaze of several people, the two drops of blood gradually merged together.

Seeing the blood mingling in the bowl, Emperor Hongwu showed a hint of astonishment on his gloomy face.

The blood actually merged? So Jiang Qiuchi is really the seventh child?

Not to mention that the old emperor was shocked, even Jiang Qiuchi was shocked. What on earth is going on? How could his blood blend with His Majesty's?

The hall fell into silence for a moment, and Emperor Hongwu thought about the whole incident.

If Jiang Qiuchi is Lao Qi, could it be that Jiang Ci that Yuan An said was fabricated out of thin air? This time Yuan An went to Xinyang for more than three months, and the entire Xilin Guard died in Xinyang Mansion, but he, a Taoist priest with mediocre martial arts, survived. This matter is really strange if you think about it carefully.

Su Jidao: "Your Majesty, seeing is believing. The Seventh Prince is indeed the royal bloodline left behind. I have heard that there are still rumors about the identity of the Seventh Prince in the capital recently. I'm afraid there are deep implications behind this. I hope Your Majesty will investigate clearly."

Emperor Hongwu looked sharply at Jiang Qiuchi: "Lao Qi, I misunderstood you this time. Today's blood recognition has confirmed your identity. From now on, I will not allow anyone to criticize you." You, Yang Zhong!”

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Please pass this on. If anyone dares to discuss the identity of the Seventh Prince behind his back in the future, he will not be leniently punished once discovered."

"promise!"

"I'm tired, you all can go down."

"My son, please retire!"

"I resign from my humble position!"

Su Ji and Jiang Qiuchi left the Tai Chi Hall together. At this time, the sky had darkened, and a bright moon was slowly rising in the dark night sky.

Jiang Qiuchi stood on the jade steps in front of the palace, staring at the bright moon with clear eyes.

"It's great that the moon is out."

I thought I was going to die today, but I didn't expect that I could still survive.

He looked sideways at Su Ji: "Commander Su, thank you for coming to our rescue today."

Su Ji glanced at Jiang Qiuchi indifferently: "I owe you a life. I once said that I would repay you and I will not break my promise. Let's go and get out of here first."

Jiang Qiuchi followed Su Ji out of the palace and out of the palace gate. Su Ji asked his subordinates to take his horse back to the Su Mansion, and he raised his long legs and stepped onto Jiang Qiuchi's carriage.

Jiang Qiuchi glanced at him silently, and after the carriage left the palace, he asked in a low voice: "What's going on with the blood?"

Su Ji leaned close to his ear and whispered in a deep voice: "Yang Zhong is from Jiang Ci. Thanks to his help today, otherwise neither of us would be able to escape."

Once His Majesty discovers that Jiang Qiuchi is the stand-in arranged by Jiang Ci, he will definitely suspect that he has also taken refuge in Jiang Ci. Therefore, the two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Saving Jiang Qiuchi's life is equivalent to saving himself.

Jiang Qiuchi was surprised. No wonder Yang Zhong said what he said when he arrived at the palace today, and even helped him give the jade pendant to Su Ji. It turned out that he was from His Majesty the Seventh Prince.

I really didn't expect that your Majesty's most trusted eunuch would betray him.

Su Ji returned to his seat and sat down: "Today's disaster has not been completely avoided. His Majesty is suspicious by nature. He will probably send someone to Xinyang Mansion. We must make plans in advance."

Jiang Qiuchi frowned. What he had to do was to play the role of the seventh prince on His Highness's behalf. His Highness would come to Beijing in the autumn of next year, and everything would be settled by then.

"What should I do next?"

When Su Ji saw Jiang Qiuchi asking him, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Will you listen to my suggestions?"

"I only know that you won't harm me." Su Ji can take the risk to come to the rescue today, which shows that he is a man who keeps his promise and is grateful.

Su Ji's eyes were as bright as stars, and he curled his lips and smiled.

He raised his hand to lift the teapot and sprinkled the water on the tea table. He dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote a few large characters on the table.

After seeing the words on the table, Jiang Qiuchi fell into deep thought.
