With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Chapter 280 Back on Track

"Why is the general's daughter also plotting something?"

"Why are they all picking on the doctor's wife?"

Listening to the discussion gradually rising, Nangong Zhen's originally relieved face suddenly turned into a dark cloud, "Nangong Xiyun, what do you want to do?"

Haven't you learned enough from your previous lesson of being unable to speak? Why are you still dreaming?!

"Dad, I don't mean anything else. I just want to help Cousin Mo Qing." Nangong Xiyun's dark eyes revealed a bit of grievance. "Today's matter has come to this point, so why not directly prove the relationship between the child and Cousin Mo Qing?"

"It would also give the child a legitimate status, wouldn't it?"

After Nangong Xiyun finished speaking, a look of doubt crossed Nangong Zhen's face.

Did she really think so? Was she just simply trying to help Mo Qing?

"Miss Nangong is right. Since he is the prince's child, his identity should be announced to the world to set the record straight."

"But, she said she wanted proof. How can she prove it? There is no way to verify parentage in this world. Otherwise, Miss Zhu wouldn't have just tried to deny the identity of the prince's child by using the age difference."

"Right! We can't use the old-fashioned method of 'testing kinship by blood', right? Even children know that it's unreliable these days!"

When Nangong Xiyun heard this, she first glanced at Nangong Zhen. Seeing that he didn't seem to stop her, she turned around and explained, "Although the ancient method of 'blood test' has been abandoned, there are still ways to test parentage in this world."

Someone asked curiously, "How do you test it?"

"My guards, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba, are from Southern Xinjiang. I heard from them that the Southern Xinjiang Gu tribe has a kind of insect called the 'Mother-Child Gu'. This insect can only be inoculated by two people who are in a parent-child relationship. If the two people who are infected with the Mother-Child Gu are not biological children, the child will die!"

In other words, as long as Baili Moqing and Xiao Yier can plant this kind of poisonous insect at the same time, the parent-child relationship will be real.

"Poisoning the prince? Isn't this treasonous?" A soldier immediately objected.

"Please rest assured, this insect is not poisonous and is harmless to the body. Once the parentage is proven, the poison can be removed immediately."

Everyone in the field was talking, but only Nangong Ze clenched his fists.

"I know this method is perverse and disrespectful to the royal family. But it's the only way in the world to verify parentage."

"Now that the child's identity has been muddied by Zhu Zifeng, how can we convince the public if we don't prove it this way? I'm only worried that the poor child will continue to live under the world's suspicions and gossip."

Baili Moqing looked gloomy and obviously did not want to accept this method of verification.

He knew very well whether the child was his.

Seeing his resistance, Nangong Xiyun asked Prince Xiaoyang, "Prince Xiaoyang, do you think what Xiyun said makes sense?"

Baili Qingren's expression faltered slightly, then he looked troubled. He looked at Baili Moqing, asking for his opinion. After all, this was his business, and as the emperor's uncle, it wouldn't be easy for him to make the final decision, right?

Seeing that no one spoke, Shu He took the initiative to speak.

"If the method Miss Nangong mentioned can indeed prove the parent-child relationship, then I agree to verify it."

Nangong Xiyun was right. Since Yi'er's identity had been exposed, she couldn't let Yi'er live in doubt and suspicion in the future.

If Yi'er's identity could be made clear in front of everyone, no one would dare to make a fuss about the authenticity of Yi'er's identity in the future.

Seeing that she had agreed, Baili Qingren nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, Nanqi, go and fetch He Niangzi's child."

Nanqi glanced at Baili Moqing, and after receiving his gaze, he responded and left.

During this period, Nangong Zhen called Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba to confirm what Nangong Xiyun said that the "mother-child Gu" can sever the parent-child relationship.

The mother-child Gu is unique to the Gu tribe in southern Xinjiang. How come Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba just happened to have it in their hands?

Although Nangong Zhen was skeptical, he didn't ask any further questions. As long as it was useful, he didn't care much about anything else.

Above, Shen Yao, Prince Yong of Beidi, spoke up, "Prince Xiaoyang, have you finished dealing with Tianqi's 'family affairs'? Isn't it time to talk about serious matters?"

Baili Qingren smiled awkwardly, then he remembered that there were two princes and a princess from Beidi in the camp!

"The younger generation of Tianqi don't know etiquette and have caused such a farce, making Prince Yong laugh."

At this moment, Baili Qingren really hated Zhu Zifeng.

She made a mess of a peace talk and brought shame to Tianqi.

I'm afraid that tomorrow, Prince Tianqili's "romantic affair" will become a laughing stock for the people of Beidi after dinner, right?

Ugh!

The place was quickly cleaned up and all the soldiers who were watching were sent back. Only then did the peace talks finally get back on track.

At this time, Nangong Ze quietly retreated.

Outside the tent, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba lowered their heads, their whole bodies showing the feeling of guilt.

"So, you don't have any mother-child Gu at all?"

When Nangong Ze said this, his face turned alternately blue and white.

Seeing them nod, he grabbed Zheng Qi's collar with one hand and asked in a low voice, "You dare to lie about such a big thing? Don't you want to live anymore?!"

"Why do this?!"

"Major General..." Zheng Ba saw that Zheng Qi was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and hurriedly grabbed Nangong Ze's hand.

Nangong Ze saw his helpless and ashamed look, and his frown suddenly relaxed. "Yes, Xiaoyun forced you to do that?"

What does she want to do?

She knew there was no mother-child Gu, but she still proposed this method. How would she make things right when the child arrived?

What on earth is she going to do?

On the other side, Nanqi quickly returned to Biluoyuan. It was already late at night, and Uncle Zhang and Madam Wang were eating in the kitchen.

"Nanqi? Did the peace talks end so early?"

Nanqi's face was not in a good state. He was very angry about what happened tonight. If Zhu Zifeng was not the daughter of Grand Tutor Zhu Heng, he would have killed her with a sword!

"Oh, it's hard to explain." He put down the cup and looked around. "Where's Yi'er? She went to bed so early? I have to take her out."

Uncle Zhang and Madam Wang put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time. "Yier, wasn't she taken away by General Zhang?"

"General Zhang? Zhang Zhiyi?" Nan Qi's heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of unease enveloping him. "When?"

"Just when it got dark..."

After Lady Wang finished speaking, Nanqi disappeared.
