Emperor Ren De was silent, looking at Zhang Huaian who was kneeling on the ground.

There is joy and self-blame in my heart.

The King of Qi died and the Crown Prince was ill.

Murong Che was arrogant and domineering. If Zhang Huaian was his own child, he would really give him some hope.

He said slowly: "Someone, help Master Zhang up."

Two eunuchs walked over and helped Prince Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"Marquis Yongchang, you two should also stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the Yongchang Marquis and his wife got up from the ground, Emperor Ren De ordered Eunuch Lai Fu to fetch some clean water.

Prepare to perform blood test to identify relatives in front of civil and military officials.

Murong Che frowned, thinking of the farce that happened many years ago.

It was also ironic that he and Emperor Ren De did the same thing, dripping blood to recognize their relationship in front of all the civil and military officials.

The former empress accompanied Emperor Ren De for more than ten years, from a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, to a crown princess, and then to an empress.

From knowing each other, to loving each other, to staying together, and finally dying with hatred in their hearts.

Perhaps she felt so desperate when she gave birth to her child alone in her bedroom and watched her other child dying.

She carried the stigma with her until her death.

When the two drops of blood mixed with each other in the golden basin, Emperor Ren De felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

"Prince Zhang is truly His Majesty's biological son."

"Two drops of blood dissolved."

Someone among them spoke first.

Emperor Ren De sat on the dragon throne trembling, feeling a little regretful and a little happy.

He suddenly burst into laughter, "It's really my child, it's really my child."

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

Perhaps because he was too happy, he announced the decree in public.

"Come here, announce the decree."

"Zhang Huaian, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is generous, cautious, honest and righteous. He is my fifth son. Although his son is being raised in the Zhang family, he has a good character. From now on, he will be named the Seven-Star Jin King."

"Shen Li, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, is granted the title of Princess Jin."

……

In Fengluan Palace, the Queen was sitting on the chaise longue, listening to Nanny Zhang telling her what happened last night.

She pinched the teacup and smashed it to the ground.

"It's Prince Rui again, ruining my good deeds every time!"

Nanny Zhang walked over and arranged for someone to clean up the porcelain pieces.

"My queen, now that Zhang Huaian has been sent to the Zhang family by Prince Rui, how about taking someone with you?"

"I heard from the people at the Dali Temple that the Dali Temple Minister has been imprisoned in the Rui Wang Mansion."

The queen was so angry that her face turned red: "Murong Che, you dare to go against me for the sake of a prince."

Nanny Zhang walked to the Queen's side and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, Zhang Huaian is just a prince."

"Even if he is released from prison, it would be easy to punish him. Why is your Majesty in such a hurry?"

"Even if he is rescued, His Majesty may not reuse him."

"There is no place for him in Yanjing City."

The Queen's face was gloomy. "But even if Murong Che wants to protect him, Your Majesty cannot do so."

She looked outside the door: "It's already this late, His Majesty should be leaving the morning court, right?"

"Prince Rui has imprisoned a third-rank officer. Is Your Majesty going to release him again?"

"I have to go out for a while."

After saying this, the queen stood up from her chair, took lotus steps, and walked out of the Fengluan Palace.

As soon as I walked out, I saw a little palace maid coming towards me in a hurry.

"My lady, my lady."

"Something happened, something happened."

The queen frowned and looked at the little palace maid who was sweating profusely.

"What are you in such a hurry for? If you have anything to say, just say it nicely."

The little palace maid was panting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has conferred upon Prince Zhang the title of Seven-Star Jin King."

"Prince Zhang is the son of your majesty and the late queen, and has been raised in the Zhang family."

As soon as the little palace maid finished speaking, the queen's face suddenly changed and she asked in disbelief.

"What did you say? Seven-star Jin King?"

"How could this Zhang Huaian be the heir of His Majesty?"

The little palace maid said, "Your Majesty has publicly recognized his paternity through the use of blood. It is undoubtedly your Majesty's son. It is said that the late queen was pregnant with twins, and Prince Zhang was taken away by Madam Zhang and survived."

The queen almost lost her balance and fell to the ground, but fortunately Nanny Zhang supported her.

"Miss."

The Queen shook her head: "Twins? How could he have that?"

"I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it."

"It's obvious, it's obvious that the child...has been given to me."

She trembled all over, adjusted her mentality, and strode towards His Majesty's study.

"I want to see His Majesty."

The queen had just taken a few steps when she was caught by Nanny Zhang.

"My lady, why are you doing this?"

"If you go now, will His Majesty be angered? If His Majesty investigates the truth about Wanfu Temple, how will you respond?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet woken up, so why not focus your attention on the East Palace?"

Nanny Zhang whispered, "Master Lan Ci has been sleeping with Miss Shen for quite some time now, so it should be about time."

"Although the Zhang family's heir has been conferred the title of Seven-Star Prince, all the maids and nannies who knew the truth about the former queen are now dead."

"Even if your majesty wants to investigate what happened back then, he won't be able to find anything."

The queen narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "I didn't know that when I went to see the former queen, the other baby in her belly had already been taken away by Madam Zhang."

"I thought the late queen had only one son."

“This is absolutely ridiculous!”

"The Zhang family has been lying and hiding things, and I have ended up with nothing in the end!"

Nanny Zhang helped the queen to the bedroom and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to Fengluan Palace. We can see His Majesty after this storm has passed."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in a coma. This is the top priority."

The queen was angry and anxious, and walked towards Fengluan Palace with the help of her nanny.

……

After the Chief Justice of Dali Temple was released by Murong Che, Emperor Rende ordered people to check many case files of Dali Temple over the years and found that Chief Justice Zhou had misjudged many unjust cases.

He immediately issued an order to imprison him and execute him in the autumn.

Zhang Huaian was named King of Jin. His Majesty personally granted him a mansion, held sacrifices for him, and allowed him to be included in the royal ancestral temple and family tree.

Early in the morning, Shen Li went to Prince Jin's Mansion to take care of Zhang Huaian under the arrangement of Old Madam Shen.

Shen Mi sat in the Lan Yue Courtyard, looking at the letter Yun Lan handed to her.

The letter was written by Yu Zian.

Yun Lan: "Miss, Master Yu asked if you have figured out how to transfer the guards and secret guards in the Crown Prince's Mansion these days?"

"He was lucky enough to wake the prince up at three o'clock in the morning."

Shen Mi burned the letter and walked to the window and opened them all.

After the window opened, she returned to her seat and looked at Yun Lan: "I thought of it, but we are still short of manpower."

"I have to ask the Fourth Master to borrow someone."

"Find someone to monitor the queen these few days."

"If my guess is correct, Zhang Huaian was named the King of Jin, and she must be very upset."

"I'm afraid he will consult Duke Lin about countermeasures."

"Let's follow her and see where she goes and where she meets Duke Lin."

“It’s time to set up the net.”

Yun Lan nodded, "Yes, Miss."

Shen Mi added: "You can go and inform Senior Brother, and he can wake the prince up in advance, preferably before three o'clock in the morning."

"The Queen, Shen Shu, and the Queen's bastard probably still think that the Crown Prince will not wake up for another half a month, so they don't care at all."

"I want to let the prince know what it feels like to be betrayed by the person you love most."

"Yes, Miss." Yun Lan received the order and turned to go out.

……

In the middle of the night, Shen Mi was sitting in front of the window playing chess. Bai Ze climbed in through the window and lay beside her.

Shen Mi reached out and touched Bai Ze's head.

A moment later, a dark shadow came in.

Shen Mi looked up and saw Murong Che, dressed in black, walking in from the night.

"Fourth Master."

Shen Mi stood up and walked to Murong Che's side. Murong Che raised his eyebrows slightly and put his hands around her.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking about me?"

Shen Mi pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Master, I'm waiting for you."

"How many people do I want to borrow from you?"

Murong Che raised his eyebrows and pulled her to sit on the chair. "Borrow someone?"

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Mi took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother Yu was already in the underground prison of the Crown Prince's Mansion the day before yesterday."

"There are members of the Shen family inside."

"They should be a mother and daughter."

"The older one is about 40 years old, and the younger one is about my age."

Murong Che frowned. "Do you know who this person is from the Shen family?"

Shen Mi shook his head. "The situation was urgent at the time, so Senior Brother did not draw portraits of the two."
