Or it could be said that the appearance of the heroine Ye Liuwei this time was not quite what Emperor Xia wanted...

Ye Liuwei calmed herself down: "Liuwei has witnesses and physical evidence."

"So complete? Then let's get the physical evidence first."

Emperor Xia spoke calmly.

"Yes."

Ye Liuwei rummaged through her sleeves and pulled out a letter.

He placed the letter respectfully on his hand and held it high.

"This is a certificate of guilt written by my mother's personal maid, Wang Ying'er. It records how she bribed the midwife in the temple and the nun who helped at the time."

"And all the details of how the two children were swapped and how they were concealed from the public."

"Present it." said Emperor Xia.

The chief eunuch Li Fu hurried forward and handed over the letter in Ye Liuwei's hand.

Emperor Xia opened the letter and quietly read through its contents.

During this period, there was no noise at all in the entire palace, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Humph! This woman is really bold."

Emperor Xia sneered and slammed the letter in his hand heavily on the table beside him.

"How dare they confuse the royal bloodline? I really don't know how to write the word death. Where is she now?"

"He has committed suicide out of fear of punishment." Ling Yuancheng said.

"Oh?" Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows.

He explained: "When I first saw Miss Ye, I felt that her face was somewhat familiar. Later, I became suspicious and investigated further. I found out that it was Wang Ying'er. Wang Ying'er felt that she could not escape death. In order to avoid affecting her family, she left a letter and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"Then the witness you are talking about is..."

"Your Majesty, these are the midwives and nuns in the temple that were bribed by Wang Ying'er."

"Xuan."

Soon, two middle-aged women came into the hall.

One of them was wearing nun's clothes and had a thin figure, while the other looked plump, which showed that they lived a pretty good life.

The two men were obviously new to the world and as soon as they entered the hall they began to shiver uncontrollably.

With two thuds, he knelt on the ground.

"See your majesty, long live your majesty."

The two of them kowtowed together and maintained that posture, not daring to raise their heads even a little.

"You two are the nun and midwife who helped Concubine Liu give birth that day?"

Emperor Xia asked calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two of them stammered back.

"Tell us what happened that day." Ling Yuancheng stood beside the two of them and reminded them.

The midwife stammered, "Before Concubine Liu gave birth, a woman who was also pregnant found me and said she would give me a large sum of money as long as I could switch the two babies and use different swaddling clothes when I delivered them."

"I only found out later that the woman who delivered the baby that day was Concubine Liu. If I had known this earlier, I would not have dared to do such a treasonous thing!"

"It's all my fault that I was blinded by money and tried to make money against my conscience. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

There are often some dark and secretive things in a large family, especially the methods used in the backyard, which are rarely seen in the light of day.

When she took over this matter, she thought it was just an ordinary matter of exchanging children in the inner house.

After all, she had taken on many such matters before and was already very skilled at them.

This is also the reason why Wang Ying'er chose this midwife.

If she had known that this matter involved the royal family, she would never have accepted it even if she was given more money!

The question is that she is very regretful now...

"You pushed it cleanly." Emperor Xia sneered.

It didn't directly say what to do with the midwife.

Instead, he looked at the nun again and said, "You say."

"A few months before that day, a woman came to me and said that her daughter would come to the temple to worship Buddha in a few months. In order to pray for the baby in her belly, she might stay in the temple for a few days. Those days happened to be around the due date of her daughter."

"She hoped that I could help deliver the baby at that time. I did help, but at that time, I was only responsible for bringing hot water and handing over towels. I didn't know whether the two babies who were born at the same time were swapped!"

"I am a Buddhist. If I had known this earlier, I would not have agreed to help. This is tarnishing the purity of the Buddha!"

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

Her words were somewhat clearer than that of the midwife, and her mentality seemed to be more stable.

The Great Xia Dynasty respected Buddhism very much.

There are quite good welfare policies for monks and nuns.

This nun has a better mentality than the midwife, so it is understandable.

"In other words, you didn't see the children being exchanged with your own eyes, right?" Emperor Xia asked slowly.

"Yes."

The nun lowered her head.

Emperor Xia's eyes fell on Ling Yuancheng: "Ling Qing, I naturally believe in you, but this is just a letter from Wang Ying'er confessing her guilt and the words of a midwife who has done countless things that are detrimental to one's virtue. Just based on these, you want to confirm that Ye Liuwei is my daughter, the child of Concubine Liu, and a real princess. I'm afraid it's not enough."

Ye Liuwei opened her eyes wide and looked at Emperor Xia in disbelief.

How could this be? How could Your Majesty say such a thing?

Based on their understanding of Emperor Xia, shouldn't they have immediately confirmed their identity when they saw this evidence?

After all, my eyes look so much like his!

This is an indisputable fact!

"His Majesty."

The Queen slowly spoke: "These evidences are indeed not enough, but if you want to really prove whether Miss Ye is your Majesty's biological daughter, it is actually very simple."

"What suggestions does the Queen have?" Emperor Xia asked curiously.

"Blood test."

The Queen said calmly.

"Since ancient times, the only way to confirm whether a child is a biological child is to use blood tests. This result is more convincing than all other so-called evidence, isn't it?"

Emperor Xia looked at the Queen and seemed to be somewhat persuaded.

"Your Majesty is worth a fortune, so it's not appropriate to shed real blood. Why not let Yue'er do it for you? If it's real, they are sisters, so their blood will naturally mix. If it's fake, then, of course, it won't mix."

"Mother..."

Qin Yue frowned and gently tugged at the queen's sleeve.

"Yuer, stop making trouble. This is a serious matter. Be good!"

The Queen looked at Emperor Xia: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"But Yue'er is my daughter, the legitimate princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, and a precious girl. How can you..."
