"What are you waiting for?" Feeling guilty? "Do you not dare to?" Yun Lanyue already couldn't wait to see her true form revealed, her appearance battered and exhausted.

But, Yun Qixi didn't feel the anxiety and fear that she wanted to see, instead, she smiled, laughed, and laughed lightly, "Big sister, you doubt my identity, I have nothing to say, but what if I question you too?"

Yun Lanyue was startled, and felt that it was funny, "You want to question me? What right do you have to question me? "

Yun Qixi also laughed, "Then why is big sister doing this? What is elder sister feeling guilty about? Is big sister really not father's daughter? "

"I-how am I guilty?" Of course I'm Father's daughter. "

Yun Lanyue was actually a little nervous, which allowed him to see through what was going on.

"Words have no basis. I also said that I'm Father's daughter, but don't you also not believe me?" "Just like the empress said, evidence is evidence."

Yun Qixi's body was slim, and she looked weak, but she was standing in the middle of the Main Palace, facing countless different kinds of gazes, her words were still perfectly written and organized. The volume was not loud and the speed was not fast. However, each word gave off an invisible pressure to the other.

She was born quite well. At this moment, there was a trace of craftiness in her smiling eyes. As she spoke, the dimples at the corner of her mouth were faintly discernible. Her smile was that calm and confident. She did not know that at that moment, her entire body was emitting a sort of charm. Even the pair of cold eyes froze for a moment.

The situation seemed to have reversed, as Yun Qixi went from being passive to being active, as if her actions had inadvertently shifted everyone's attention away from her to being on Yun Lanyue's body.

She picked up the dagger on the tray, walked to Yun Lanyue with a smile and handed it over to him.

"Elder sister, you are the elder sister." Elder sister, you are the elder sister.

Yun Lanyue's face was pale, staring at the dagger in Yun Qixi's hand, she did not extend her hand to receive it.

Su Yuwan, who was sitting at the side, finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and forced a smile, "Your Majesty, esteemed Empress, chenqie taught her daughter a lesson and disturbed Prince Jin's celebratory feast. chenqie will bring Canvass Yue down right now and give her proper punishment."

Yun Qixi frowned, she did not look troubled at all.

"Aunt, this isn't good right? Wouldn't this cause people to misunderstand that Big Sister really isn't Father's daughter, and thus doesn't dare to test it? "

Su Yuwan's expression changed slightly as she continued to speak slowly, "This is still nothing, if everyone misunderstood my elder sister's background and even misunderstood my unfilial conduct back then, wouldn't it be an injustice?"

No matter how good her cultivation was, Su Yuwan seemed to be unable to maintain her dignity.

"Nonsense." Yun Lanyue couldn't help but retort.

Yun Qixi innocently blinked her eyes, and smiled at her, "Elder sister, to prove that I am spouting nonsense, hurry up."

She handed the dagger over.

Yun Lanyue dodged backwards reflexively. Due to her nervousness, she didn't even see how the blade sliced through her fingertips, nor did she see when Yun Qixi's other hand brought the water bowl over.

She seemed to be scared silly. She looked on helplessly as fresh red blood dripped into the bowl and rippled like a rose that suddenly bloomed.

A few seconds later, a frightened scream sounded in the quiet hall.

It was also because of this scream from Yun Lanyue that everyone came back to their senses from their shock. They had no idea how Yun Qixi had done it.

Without paying any more attention to Yun Lanyue's fear, Yun Qixi brought the water bowl over to Yun Fenglie.

"Father, I'm sorry. I have to make you suffer."

Yun Fenglie looked at Yun Qixi with a bit of helplessness, and then looked at Su Yuwan in the blink of an eye. Perhaps the mother and daughter pair's reactions were too abnormal, because at this moment, his eyes really had a trace of suspicion.

Under Su Yuwan's nervous and uneasy gaze, Yun Fenglie slowly picked up the blade, cut open his finger, and dripped his blood into the water bowl.

Clang!

Everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe. Even the sound of the blood dripping was audible. This voice was like the powerful hand of a man, pulling the bowstring even tighter. Any moment now, the shiny arrows would howl and fly out.

They were all curious about the result, but at the moment, only Yun Qixi and Yun Fenglie could see the situation in the water bowl. Even the ones concerned, Yun Lanyue and her mother, were standing there with a pale face, as if they couldn't move at all.

Yun Fenglie's pale face turned pale and red for a while. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Su Yuwan with anger and shame in his eyes.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

As soon as he said that, everyone understood that the two drops of blood did not fuse together.

Facing Yun Fenglie's questioning, Su Yuwan became anxious, "Master, you have to believe in me. Huai Yue is really your direct daughter."

"But you take a look yourself." The truth was right in front of his, and at that moment, Yun Fenglie no longer wanted to hear any of her explanations.

Su Yuwan did not come forward to look, nor did Yun Lanyue. The way things had proceeded went out of their expectations, catching them off guard.

Yun Qixi observed from the sidelines for a long time, and understood. The reason why they did not dare come forward to look, was because they knew what kind of outcome would be in this water bowl. This meant that there were two possibilities, either Yun Lanyue was truly not Yun Fenglie's flesh and blood, or, hehe, they had originally wanted to frame her, but ended up using a stone to smash their own feet.

"National Duke, Yu Wan has been married to you for so many years, to have children for you, and to teach and raise sons to each other. Even if it wasn't the Miss Er she was born from, she would still treat it as though it was already possible for her to exist, and bring her up as a child. What do you mean by this?"

The one who spoke was the Minister of the Left, and as the biological father of Su Yuwan, he naturally could not watch helplessly as his own daughter was wronged and her reputation suffered.

"What a mess." Emperor Shan Ye, who had not spoken until now, finally could not help but scold.

The empress, who was sitting at the side, seemed to be somewhat agitated as an impatient expression appeared on her face. "I am still very clear on the character of Madam National Duke. There must have been a mistake somewhere in this matter.

The empress ordered a palace maid beside her, and as she spoke, she gave her a deep look.

Someone who could serve beside the empress must not be an ordinary palace maid, but someone who was meticulously selected, intelligent and able to understand her master's thoughts. With just that one glance, that palace maid called Su Xin seemed to have understood what was going on and silently bent her knees.

"Yes."

After Su Xin Wu left, the Queen gave Su Yuwan a glance, telling her not to be impatient.

As Yun Qixi's gaze moved away from the Empress, she unintentionally met Imperial Concubine's eyes. From the beginning till the end, Imperial Concubine had never said a single word, but at this moment, she stared at Yun Qixi unblinkingly. It seemed that she had looked at him for a long while, with an indistinct hint of appreciation in her probing eyes.

A moment later, a man in his late fifties hurried into the hall and knelt before it.

"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty, Empress, and Imperial Concubine Hui."

"Rise." Shan Ye said.

"Imperial Physician Song stood up and heard the empress say," Imperial Physician Song, you're the palace's old doctor, you have much experience. The emperor and I all trust you a lot, National Duke and Moon Embracing Evil are obviously our biological fathers and daughters, why would these two drops of blood not fuse together?

Don't disappoint me, this sentence is very meaningful. How can those people who have stayed in the palace all year round not understand the meaning behind it?

Imperial Physician Song answered with a "Yes", then walked over, picked up the water bowl to look, and smelled it. He dipped his hand in the water again, licked it on his tongue, then nodded in understanding. As if he had an answer, he turned back and clasped his hands.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress, the reason National Duke and Eldest Miss's blood don't mix together is because there is salt in the water. No matter who drops of blood fall into the brine, they will never fuse together. "

That made sense!

Yun Qixi evaluated the Imperial Physician Song's words in his heart. She guessed that it was about time for his acting to explode.

Indeed, the Queen frowned. "Salt water? How could it be salt water? "

After she finished speaking, she stared at the little eunuch who entered the room with a bowl of water, her gaze immediately becoming sharp, "Little Luzi, what's going on?"

Probably from the moment the Queen told Su Xin to look for the Imperial Physician Song, Little Luzi knew that he would become cannon fodder, and his body trembled more and more. At this moment, he actually knelt down with a thump, and his face turned deathly white, but he did not dare to shout out the wrong words.

"Servant, servant …" He ate the yellow lotus in silence, not daring to tell the truth.

Little Luzi was petite and petite, he looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had a very obedient appearance. He only wanted to repay the favor by punishing those who tried to harm her, and he didn't want to implicate those who were innocent. Seventeen years old, in modern times, and still under the care of his parents.

Yun Qixi squatted down, and helped Little Luzi who was lying on the ground while trembling to kneel, only then did she realize that he was already crying silently.

"Little Luzi, right? "Don't be afraid. The emperor and the empress are people who distinguish between right and wrong. They won't falsely accuse good people." Her voice was very soft and gentle, causing the great hall to become quiet once more.

Tears still hung from Little Luzi's face, as he still had not recovered from his shock. Yun Qixi continued to speak gently.

"Little Luzi, think carefully, when you went to pour the water, did you accidentally knock over the salt jar and sprinkle it inside? Because you were in a hurry, you did not have the time to change the water, nor did you understand the strong relationship between the two, so you brought it over?"

When these words came out, everyone stared at Yun Qixi in disbelief, especially Su Yuwan and Yun Lanyue. At first, she thought that Yun Qixi would coax her to tell him the truth behind it, but in the end, she only led him to wash the charges.

Yun Qixi was wearing an aqua colored skirt. Squatting down now, her skirt reached the ground, and a hand patted Little Luzi's shoulder in relief. Her gentle smile carried a kind of tolerant and kind power. It made her look like an angel, enveloped in a soft, beautiful aura. It shocked everyone present.
