The old prince's words once again ignited a glimmer of hope for everyone who was already grieving, and the princess's eyes became a little deeper.
"What the old prince said is very interesting. I can still misidentify my own children." The princess narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.
"The matter has come to this, why do you continue to cover up."
The old prince sighed: "Isn't it because you tried so hard to kill everyone in the main courtyard last night because I discovered the mystery surrounding His Highness Yu's life experience?"
The reason why all members of the main court gathered last night was because Meng Yuan met the old prince in private and told him that there was doubt about His Highness Yu's bloodline and asked them to test it again.
Although the East Palace is the territory of the Crown Princess, the power of the main courtyard cannot be underestimated. It didn't take much effort for them to obtain His Highness Yu's blood, and this time when the blood test was conducted again, shocking results emerged.
His Highness Yu has no royal blood in him at all!
The actions of the main courtyard are hidden. At least the old prince is confident that the princess will never be able to detect their actions. But even so, the other party still appeared last night.
I'm afraid that the other party had this idea from the very beginning. If all members of the Dazong Zhengyuan were killed, and His Highness Yu's bloodline was revealed to be suspicious, the world would definitely be in chaos.
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "In that case, I would like to ask Your Majesty to tell me where the real grandson is."
The old prince did not speak, but coughed silently while looking at Meng Yuan beside him.
So, Meng Yuan stood up, looked around everyone, and then said: "Today, I have something to say, and I want to make it clear to you all. This matter is related to whether the blood of the royal family is pure, and whether the orthodoxy of the throne has fallen behind. I hope you all will listen carefully.
over."
Everyone held their breath and listened as Meng Yuan began to tell a story from the past: "More than twenty years ago, I was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangnan. Because before his assassination, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a private relationship with a woman from a Jiangnan family, and even had an heir.
.”
Meng Yuan said, turning his eyes to the Crown Princess: "Your Majesty values this child, so he does not want his birth to be stained. Therefore, before leaving for Jiangnan, Your Majesty gave me a secret order to cancel the marriage between the Crown Prince and the girl from the Yuan family. At the same time,
Marry the second young lady of the Huangfu family as the crown princess."
At that time, the prince had been assassinated. There was almost no difference to the prince whether the decree was passed or not, but it was a humiliation to the Yuan family. Moreover, judging from the subsequent situation, Meng Yuan failed to welcome the crown prince back, so at that time
It is reasonable that this imperial edict has not been made public.
At this time, Meng Yuan took out the imperial edict that had been sealed for twenty years. Mr. Wei Ge immediately stepped forward to take it and took a look. After several elders circulated it, they respectfully returned the edict. Mr. Wei Ge said in a deep voice:
"This imperial edict is indeed written by His Majesty, and there is no doubt about it from the Cabinet."
Meng Yuan took back the imperial edict and continued: "When I rushed to the south of the Yangtze River, the princess was already close to giving birth and could not travel long distances, so she had to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a while. The accident happened at this moment."
As he spoke, Meng Yuan sighed: "At that time, the Jianghu forces were powerful, and the Xuantian Sect in the North was even more ambitious. They wanted to seize the Crown Princess's unborn child and destroy our country!"
Meng Yuan's eyes became solemn and he said: "Master Xuantian is the first person in martial arts in the world. After his grandson came to this world, this guy actually tried to snatch him away. I fought with him all the way to a big river. At that time, there happened to be a river.
The boat is owned by the Lu family, and there happened to be a couple on the boat with their newly born child."
As he spoke, Meng Yuan looked at Lu Shangshu, and everyone followed his gaze. The latter nodded towards everyone: "The people who met Master Meng on the river were my clan brother and sister-in-law, and them.
The newly born child..."
At this moment, everyone had suspicions in their minds, and as expected, they heard Meng Yuan say: "Back then, my martial arts skills were not as good as that of the old thief Xuantian. In order to protect my grandson from falling into the hands of the thief, I had no choice but to take advantage of the chaos and kill the Lu family."
There was a miscarriage between the child and the great-grandson, so today’s His Highness Yu is actually the Lu family’s child.”
Meng Yuan sighed: "Back then, I had no choice but to make this decision. For the sake of my grandson's safety, I simply took advantage of the situation and left my grandson in the Lu family and entrusted him to be taught by Lu Shangshu."
Lu Shangshu took the words and said: "I know that this matter is of great importance, and I have not dared to reveal anything for many years. The child has been growing up in the Lu family and studying at the Lu family. When he is older, I will think about it.
There is a way to transfer it and send it to the Jinyi Guards."
Everyone's breath was suffocated. There was only one child in the Lu family who fit this description, and everyone knew this person. Mr. Wei Ge said with a deep look: "In other words, the real His Highness Taisun, in fact,
Is this the current commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mr. Lu?"
Everyone was shocked, and then their eyes subconsciously looked around, only to find that... Mr. Lu was not there?
"Where's Mr. Lu?"
Everyone stared at each other, and Meng Yuan was also stunned. At this time, Qiu Qingyun stepped forward with an embarrassed look and whispered in his ear: "Master Lu said that the smell of blood in the room was heavy, uh, he went outside to get some fresh air, let us
Let him know when it's done..."
"..." Meng Yuan was quite speechless. He helped the old prince, who was also speechless, to go outside. From a distance, he saw Lu Hanjiang, who had no official etiquette, sitting on the steps, leaning against a stone pillar and taking a nap.
"My lord, my lord..." Wu Qiming on the side saw all the ministers including the old prince coming out, and hurriedly shook Lu Hanjiang awake.
The old prince looked at Lu Hanjiang with a strange expression on his face, and then said: "Meng Yuan told me yesterday about the grandson's matter, and I used royal methods to test it last night. He...
Indeed, he has royal blood, and he is the grandson of His Majesty, the true eldest son of the Crown Prince!"
The sleepy Lu Hanjiang turned his head and looked at this strange old man. In addition to wanting to ask what nonsense the other person was talking about, he also wanted to worry about whether the other person was dying.
After the old prince finished speaking, as if he had completed his mission, his shaky body completely collapsed on Meng Yuan.
"Old Prince!" everyone exclaimed.
Meng Yuan quickly took the pulse of the other party. He shook his head solemnly and said: "There is no way to save the day..."
His Majesty had just passed away, and now he had lost an arm. Everyone looked sad, but fortunately, the old prince was indeed the pillar of the court. At the most critical moment, he stepped forward and stabilized the court.
In today's world, what matters most is a person who speaks the truth. If there is any doubt about the grandson's bloodline, not to mention the turmoil outside, even the court may not be able to unite as one. The word "legitimacy" is the basis of these people's allegiance, and it is also the way these people act.
Bottom line.
Although the old prince will pass away soon, he has finally given the throne a serious heir.
At this moment, countless eyes were focused on Lu Hanjiang, but he was looking at the Crown Princess with great interest.
After the initial surprise, the "mother and son" quickly realized what Meng Yuan had done. In a sense, this person was much more courageous than the Crown Princess.
The method the Crown Princess used to fool His Highness Yu could only succeed once. Since the old prince noticed it, there would be no chance of success a second time, so Meng Yuan would definitely not repeat such a useless attempt.
How to make a person who has never met the old prince successfully be recognized by the other party as a royal bloodline and the prince's direct eldest son? There is only one way - Meng Yuan only needs to hold the real grandson in his hands!
Lu Hanjiang and the Crown Princess looked at each other from a distance, and they smiled at each other, just like they did when they first met.
At this moment, Lu Hanjiang solved the last doubt in his mind. He could not see a trace of surprise or panic from the Crown Princess's expression. It was obvious that all this was what she expected.
The grandson's biggest trump card was given up by the princess from the beginning. The other party's goal was never directed towards that position from the beginning to the end. It's no wonder that the old man's plan went so smoothly, because both sides were on the same page from the beginning.
