Chapter 54 Test
The bright red blood was collected into the jade box along the jade needle. After about three drops of blood had condensed, Eunuch Shen said:
"Okay."

He then took back the jade box and covered it, then walked back to the commander Fu Qiwen, bowed and handed it to him with both hands.

Fu Qiwen nodded slightly, took the jade box with one hand, and looked at it carefully.

In an instant, Yu Jin and Sun Changyu suddenly looked up, both of them were shocked.

I just felt that the true energy of heaven and earth in the entire hall suddenly boiled up at this moment.

With Fu Qiwen as the center, there seemed to be an invisible vortex rising into the sky, rapidly absorbing and devouring the surrounding true energy of heaven and earth.

Even the true energy in their meridians and dantian was stirring, and seemed to be ready to be pulled away and dispersed at any time.

The two were immediately shocked and hurriedly practiced their skills to stabilize the true energy in their bodies.

At the same time, the wind and rain over the entire hall suddenly stopped.

The constantly gathering true energy of heaven and earth seemed like an invisible giant hand, pushing away the pouring rain from the sky and stirring up a strong wind that bypassed the entire Tianjin Guard Headquarters.

In the main hall, the jade box in Fu Qiwen's hand was surrounded by green light and was spinning at a high speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The speed of rotation seemed to break the sound barrier.

But even so, the jade box, whose true appearance could not be seen and only residual shadows remained, was always imprisoned in Fu Qiwen's hands, and did not move at all from beginning to end.

Could this be... a human centrifuge?

Li Musheng stared at the commander of Tianjin Guard, Fu Qiwen, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

To be honest, he was inexplicably convinced by the paternity test in front of him.

However, Li Musheng's eyes moved and fell on one of his fingers.

When he used the jade needle to draw blood before, he found that a trace of poison was injected into his body through the wound on his finger.

The properties of that poison were extremely strange. It didn't seem to take his life directly, but would hide and lurk in his body.

Of course, no matter how special the poison is, it naturally poses no threat to Li Musheng, who possesses an immortal golden body.

"Interesting. I haven't even set foot in the palace yet, and the conflict has already begun."

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows.

It is obvious that the jade box came from the Dali Palace, and the person who could poison the jade needle was probably from the palace.

As for who poisoned him?

It could be the eunuch Shen, the chief supervisor of the shrine, or it could be someone else.

Li Musheng had no clue and didn't have much energy to explore it.

After all, those who should jump out will eventually jump out.

He had no interest in this kind of palace fighting and was only willing to be a lazy farmer waiting for opportunities.

At this moment, the true energy of heaven and earth in the entire hall suddenly stagnated, and the spinning jade box in the hands of Tianjin Guard Commander Fu Qiwen stopped.

The scene of wind and rain stopping outside has disappeared, and the wind and rain have returned again.

For a moment, raindrops hit the roof of the hall, and gradually a dripping sound was heard.

Fu Qiwen stared at the jade box in his hand for a while, his expression calm. He just looked up at Li Musheng and said:
"I have to go to the palace. Please wait here for a while, Master Li."

Hearing this, Li Musheng nodded in agreement. As he watched Fu Qiwen prepare to leave, he knew that his status as a prince was assured.

However, at this moment, Sun Changyu, who was standing at the side of the hall, suddenly stepped forward, saluted, and said:
"Sir, I have something else to report."

Fu Qiwen stopped, looked at the other person, and nodded slightly to signal him to speak.

Sun Changyu glanced at Li Musheng secretly, and then used his true energy to transmit the message to Fu Qiwen silently for a while.

Not long after, Fu Qiwen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Musheng deeply, and waved his hand:
"I already know about this."

Then, he instructed Yu Jin who was standing at the side of the hall:
"Go call Han Li and have him go with Eunuch Sun."

After saying this, Fu Qiwen did not linger any longer and disappeared into the heavy rain outside the hall.

At this time, Eunuch Shen in the main hall glanced at Li Musheng, his eyes moved slightly, and said:
"We must also return to the palace to report this to the Queen."

After saying that, he left right after Fu Qiwen.

Yu Jin, who was the only one left in the hall, did not dare to delay and quickly called over a middle-aged man with a thin face.

As Fu Qiwen's closest subordinate, Han Li obeyed his orders without hesitation. He just talked with Sun Changyu for a few words and then hurriedly left with him.

……

Dali Palace.

The palaces are arranged in an orderly manner, and the glazed beasts on the roofs are of different shapes. The raindrops flow along the golden glazed tiles to form lines of bead curtains.

Fu Qiwen, commander of the Tianjin Guard, walked through the towering red doors and, accompanied by a young eunuch, walked up the white jade steps and entered a huge and majestic palace.

Tianqian Palace, the residence of Emperor Yuanwu.

The clear floor tiles are mirror-clear, and the red pillars carved with exquisite cloud and dragon patterns support the magnificent roof of the hall. The whole hall exudes a majestic atmosphere.

Fu Qiwen walked through the solemn main hall and came to the side hall at the back. A bamboo curtain blocked the rosewood bed.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has been found."

Fu Qiwen bowed to the bamboo curtain, took out a jade box from his sleeve, and handed it to a white-haired old eunuch in front of the hall, who presented it to Emperor Yuanwu behind the bamboo curtain.

Emperor Yuanwu did not utter a word behind the bamboo curtain. In the illumination of the bright candlelight in the hall, only a figure sitting cross-legged could be vaguely seen.

The figure glanced at the jade box in the old eunuch's hand and said calmly:
"This secret method of testing paternity comes from the Medicine King Valley in the Western Regions. It has been refined and tested by generations of doctors in the valley, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Then, the figure gestured for the old eunuch to take the jade box away, and looked at Fu Qiwen through the bamboo curtain:

"Qiwen, tell me, what is your impression of my son?"

Fu Qiwen clasped his hands, lowered his brows and nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"I have reviewed the Seventh Prince's files. He was found by a female detective from the Six Gates in a small town in Wanzhou. His past twenty years have been unremarkable. Before coming to Shangyang City, he had been an apprentice in a small martial arts school."

Hearing this, the figure behind the bamboo curtain nodded slightly, as if he was familiar with Li Musheng's situation, and just said:
"Go on, I want to hear your opinion of him."

"I just met His Highness today. I have observed His Highness's condition. What's strange is that the files say he has reached the martial arts realm of an innate warrior, but I haven't detected any martial arts energy in him."

Fu Qiwen's voice was calm, and there was no trace of any unusual emotion in his words.

Emperor Yuanwu remained silent behind the bamboo curtain. After a while, he slowly asked:
"What do you think is the reason?"
