Chapter 754 The real and fake prince
Luo Jingshen felt resentful during the half month he was put in solitary confinement.
He originally thought that Concubine Li would find a way to get Emperor Jingyang to release him.
Unexpectedly, not only did the other party not let him go, he also heard bad news.
That is, Concubine Li is pregnant again.
Luo Jingshen couldn't help but start pondering in his heart.
Could it be that Concubine Li didn't want to find a way to rescue him because she was pregnant?
Is she going to give up on herself?
But after Luo Jingshen thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
Not to mention, we don’t know whether the baby in Concubine Li’s belly is a boy or a girl.
She has to give birth to the child, ensure the other party's safety, and then raise the child to adulthood.
It will take at least fifteen years before this child has a chance to inherit the throne.
Concubine Li can wait, but can Prince Nan Xiao wait?
Unless King Nan Xiao launches a rebellion and directly pulls Emperor Jingyang down from that position.
Then he became emperor himself.
However, for him who was pursuing fame, killing his brother and seizing the throne was a very unprofitable thing to do.
He felt that King Nan Xiao would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Luo Jingshen dressed reluctantly, and when he went out, he saw Eunuch Zhang standing at the gate of the East Palace.
When the other party saw him, he took the initiative to come forward and salute, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Jingshen suppressed his resentment a little and asked calmly: "Eunuch Zhang, I wonder why my father summoned me to the palace so late at night?"
He wondered if Emperor Jingyang was about to die.
Otherwise, why would he call me in the middle of the night?
But the good thing is that he can finally go out.
Eunuch Zhang usually had a good relationship with Luo Jingshen and tried to curry favor with him.
He glanced around, put his hand to his mouth, and whispered: "The emperor is cleaning up the house tonight."
"He summoned the Night King and the Night Queen to the palace tonight, and he got really angry."
"If the Queen hadn't come to stop it in time, I'm afraid that the Night King and the Night Princess would have been sent to the clan residence by the Emperor."
Eunuch Zhang did not tell Luo Jingshen that Concubine Li was also sent to the clan house.
He thought to himself, she was just a concubine in the harem, and Luo Jingshen probably wouldn't be interested in her.
Little did he know that it was because he did not inform Luo Jingshen of this matter that he had no room for retreat after entering the palace.
In fact, he entered the palace without any precautions.
Luo Jingshen was still very interested in the affairs of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
Especially when he learned that the other party was about to get into bad luck, he was eager to join in the fun.
The resentment in his heart dissipated a lot, and he entered the palace excitedly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Emperor Jingyang glaring at him with a dark face.
Without saying a word, he asked someone to bring a bowl of water and placed it in front of Luo Jingshen.
Luo Jingshen's smile froze on his face and he was stunned.
"Father, what are you going to do?"
Ji Yuntang rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this obvious?"
"I'll ask you to cut your finger and use blood to test your relationship with me."
There was not only a bowl of water on the tray, but also a small dagger.
Does Luo Jingshen need to ask about something that anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance?
Luo Jingshen: "..."
Luo Jingshen: "!!!"
After hearing Ji Yuntang's words, his mind exploded.
"Blood test, blood test..."
These four words were echoing in Luo Jingshen's mind.
Under what circumstances would he need to do a blood test to test paternity?
Could it be that Emperor Jingyang and the Queen have discovered that he is not the real crown prince?
Luo Jingshen was nervous and knelt on the ground, saying with a sad face:
"Father, Your Majesty, Mother, I don't know why you want me to go to the palace in the middle of the night to test my blood relationship."
"But please don't listen to the rumors of the treacherous people and try to sow discord between us."
The traitors he was referring to were obviously Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
Luo Jingshen originally thought that he went to the palace tonight to see Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe make fun of themselves.
Unexpectedly, he is now the one being laughed at.
Everyone present was smart, and they all realized that Luo Jingshen was trying to sow discord.
The queen looked at him with cold eyes and a face full of disgust.
"A true mother-child relationship should be based on mutual trust. Why would anyone need to instigate it?"
"If someone can stir up trouble, then it's definitely not a true mother-son relationship. I'm afraid there are other evil intentions hidden in it."
"Luo Jingshen, am I right?"
Luo Jingshen was dumbfounded.
How could he not hear that the queen's words had a hidden meaning?
Doesn't the other party mean that they are not a true mother-son relationship?
But how could Luo Jingshen admit such a thing?
He moved his lips and asked weakly, "Mother, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."
The queen sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will understand after the blood test is done."
After the queen finished speaking, she winked at the people behind her.
The other party directly brought the blood test tool to Luo Jingshen.
"Your Highness, please!"
Only then did Luo Jingshen realize that he had been tricked.
Emperor Jingyang, the Queen, and King Ye and his wife were all present, and he was already in a difficult situation.
If he had known this, he would have brought his own army.
But there is no such thing as “I knew it earlier” in the world.
Luo Jingshen hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the small dagger on the tray with trembling hands.
He stretched out his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, and slowly moved it closer to his index finger.
Everyone present was looking at him.
When the dagger was about to cut his index finger, he put down the dagger in his hand and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Father, I am truly your son. Please believe me."
Luo Jingshen didn't dare, because once he cut his finger and dripped blood into the bowl, it would prove that he was not the son of the Queen and Emperor Jingyang.
Then the only way that awaits him is death.
Emperor Jingyang said in a cold voice, "Of course I believe you, but you have to give me reasons to believe you, right?"
The more he looked at Luo Jingshen, the more he felt that he looked nothing like himself, and the more suspicious he became.
"Prince, don't waste any more time. I still have to wait and see the results."
The Emperor Jingyang has already spoken.
There was no other way, Luo Jingshen could only stand up again, pick up the dagger, and cut his fingers.
His fingertips were cut and blood dripped into the bowl. Luo Jingshen felt as if half of his strength had been drained away.
He couldn't understand why Concubine Li hadn't appeared to help him with such a big thing?
What he couldn't understand even more was how Emperor Jingyang and the Queen suspected this matter?
After Luo Jingshen's blood dripped into the bowl, the guard brought the bowl of water to Emperor Jingyang.
