She just heard something about Prince Chen. Could it be that the eldest son of the former Crown Prince of Daxia has returned?

If he really comes back, it will be a good show to watch.

Mobei and Beijing also knew about this matter. Moreover, they have been looking for the whereabouts of Prince Chen over the years. If they find Prince Chen, they can persuade him to work for them. Then they can help Prince Chen start a rebellion and maybe they can divide Daxia.

At this moment, the palace servants arrived with Commander Zhou and a man wearing half a mask.

"I have met the emperor."

Commander Zhou had some burn scars on his face and his voice was a little hoarse, but people who knew him could still recognize that he was indeed Commander Zhou, the guard commander who served the former crown prince.

The young man wearing a black patterned mask next to him raised his head and chest, looked at the emperor, and after a while, spoke.

"Xiao Jingchen has met the Emperor's uncle and grandmother."

The emperor did not ask them to get up. When the empress dowager heard Xiao Jingchen's words, she stood up excitedly and asked in a trembling voice.

"Are you really Chen'er?"

Xiao Jingchen nodded.

The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Jingchen with tears on her face and said.

"Come here and let me see you."

Xiao Jingchen walked towards the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother held his face and looked at him carefully for a long time.

"Yes, very similar to your father..."

The emperor spoke at this time.

"You said you are Xiao Jingchen, but do you have any evidence?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Xiao Jingchen spoke.

"My nephew has the jade pendant left by my father, and the jade pendant given to me by my grandfather when I was born..."

When the emperor heard Xiao Jingchen mention the jade pendant, his eyes turned to Xiao Jingchen's hand.

Eunuch Hai immediately stepped forward and took the jade pendant.

Eunuch Hai handed the jade pendants to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Empress Dowager picked up one of the jade pendants and looked at it carefully.

"It's the late prince's jade pendant..."

The emperor looked at the two jade pendants with a more fierce gaze.

"Emperor, look at this jade pendant. It has a small crack and there is black ink here. This is because Chen'er dropped it when he was a child, and the ink splashed on it..."

Hearing the Empress Dowager say this, the Emperor nodded.

"Show the jade pendant to the ministers in the cabinet and to Prince Hong and the others."

After hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Hai sent the jade pendant to Prince Hong and the cabinet ministers for inspection.

After everyone looked at it for a while, they all spoke in low voices.

The eunuchs in charge of the jewelry department in the palace also came over.

After a while, everyone said that the two jade pendants were indeed those of the late Crown Prince and Prince Chen.

The emperor looked at Xiao Jingchen again and said.

“Xiao Jingchen has seven stars on his feet and a flame birthmark on his waist. Do you have any of those?”

After hearing this, Xiao Jingchen replied.

"In reply to the Emperor, I have these two marks on my body."

The Queen Mother spoke.

"Hurry up and take Chen'er down to have a look."

The emperor stopped them at this time.

"No need to go down, just watch here."

The emperor's words made the empress dowager change her expression.

Xiao Jingchen is the legitimate son of the late crown prince and the emperor's nephew. It is too inappropriate for him to take off his shoes and clothes in public to check for the birthmark.

Some ministers wanted to speak, but when they saw the emperor's expression, they dared not.

Prince Hong opened his mouth.

Princess Zhaoyang spoke.

"Royal brother, it is too rude to take off your clothes in public. It would be better if someone brought a piece of cloth to wrap around it and let Royal Brother Hong and others check it."
