In the royal court of Chu State, many of the civil and military officials stood up to reprimand Concubine Chen when they saw how angry the King of Chu was.
"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that Concubine Chen murdered the little prince and that our Great Chu is innocent.!”
"This subject agrees with Lord Wang's intentions. Such a vicious woman is simply an insult to our Chu Country.”
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our country, all the men of his nine clans will be executed, and the women will be exiled to the border.”
One by one, the ministers stepped forward to express their views.
Concubine Chen, who had been crying and crying, suddenly stood up and stopped crying when she heard the pleas of the ministers. She then used her bloodshot eyes to inspect all the civil and military officials of the Chu Country.
At this moment, there was only coldness in Concubine Chen's eyes.
It was also at this moment that Concubine Chen truly understood what it meant to be cold and warm in the world.
Back then, as King Chu's most beloved concubine, all the civil and military officials in the court wanted to curry favor with her, and all of them tried their best to please her.
But now that something had really happened, these people wearing ugly masks were like grass on the fence. They changed sides at the last minute, as if they wanted to save their lives immediately.
Under Concubine Chen's cold gaze, all the officials present couldn't help but tremble. A chill instantly surged into their backs, as if they were in an ice cellar.
Seeing Concubine Chen like this, the King of Chu immediately wanted to get angry and order people to take her away and beat her to death.
But at this moment, Chen Li suddenly laughed wildly.
His laughter was extremely contemptuous and frivolous, as if he had encountered the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Impudent! How dare you make such a ruckus in the royal court? I think your Chen clan is really going to rebel?”
Seeing Chen Li laughing, a Chu minister immediately shouted out.
After that, several other officials stood up and berated Chen Li.
As for Lord Chu, he stared coldly at Chen Li. His eyes were filled with killing intent, but there was also a hint of doubt.
"Your Majesty, it's really laughable. My sister is devoted to you, but you don't know this? Don't you know my sister's character? Why would she do something like murder the little prince? Yesterday, my sister summoned me into the palace to tell me about something. It concerns the little prince. I wonder if the king is interested in hearing about it?”
Chen Li said with a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he did not care about the ministers and King Chu at all.
The reason why Chen Li was like this was because of the word 'blood' that the young fortune teller had mentioned earlier.
Although it was a bold idea, he could only give it a try now that he was about to die. Anyway, there was a glimmer of hope. There might really be a glimmer of hope.
"Speak."
King Chu said coldly. Although it was just a simple word, it displayed a kind of majesty that only a king could have.
Chen Li did not speak immediately. Instead, he walked to the side of the little prince, who had been dead for several hours, under the gaze of the civil and military officials.
Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Concubine Chen, who was already in tears.
At this moment, Concubine Chen was just like everyone else present. Her eyes were filled with doubt. She did not know what her brother was going to do. Moreover, she knew better than anyone else that she had not seen her brother during this period of time. How could she talk about the little prince?
But even though Concubine Chen had doubts in her heart, she did not say anything. She just quietly looked at her brother.
Then, Chen Li turned to look at King Chu again with a strange smile on his face. Then, he immediately pointed a finger at the little prince who had long died in swaddling clothes and said sternly,"Your Majesty, this little prince is not your flesh and blood at all!!”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the court was shocked. Everyone looked at Chen Li in disbelief. Even Concubine Chen couldn't help but stare at her brother.
"Nonsense!"
Before the court officials could speak, Lord Chu shouted, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Your Majesty, in order to save your face, my younger sister did not tell you. Today, my Chen siblings are already on the verge of death, so how could I lie? If you don't believe me, please bestow a drop of dragon blood on the little prince to identify him. If he is compatible, the 372 members of my Chen clan are willing to accept their crimes and die!!”
Chen Li immediately cupped his hands and knelt down. He began to spout nonsense in a serious manner.
At this moment, Chen Li was gambling. It was a gamble involving the lives of the 372 members of the Chen family. He was not sure whether the little prince was the King of Chu's biological son. All of this was Chen Li's guess based on the young fortune teller's hint.
Even so, there was one thing Chen Li was very clear about. Even if he did not take this gamble, it was impossible for anyone from the Chen clan to survive.
One had to know that murdering the little prince was a huge crime for the future king of Chu.
Rather than being willing to die, it was better to take a gamble. Perhaps there was really a chance of survival.
Under Chen Li's fearless speech, Lord Chu began to feel a little faint.
After which, he slowly walked down from the throne and came to Chen Li's side. He looked at Chen Li with a cold gaze. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if he was telling Chen Li, If it's not like what you said, I won't forgive you!!
"Men, fetch some water."
Then, Lord Chu said coldly. His voice seemed to have dropped to the freezing point, without a trace of emotion.
A moment later, a copper bowl appeared in Lord Chu's hand. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.
The fresh blood instantly sank to the bottom of the bowl.
After that, Lord Chu ordered someone to cut the finger of the young king who had been dead for several hours. He slowly squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it into the copper bowl that contained Lord Chu's blood.
Although the only prince of the Chu Country had died several hours ago, this did not prevent the blood test.
But in the next moment, Lord Chu's pupils slowly dilated, and his hands trembled slightly. He did not even manage to hold the copper bowl, causing it to fall to the ground with a crisp metallic sound.
All of this was because when the two drops of blood fell into the copper bowl, the two drops of blood did not fuse together. Instead, two drops of blood that were completely incompatible appeared at the bottom of the bowl.
And this could only prove one thing-this child was not born by King Chu!!
