You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

How could Chen Heng possibly accept this fact!

He didn't care whether the King of Qin in front of him was real or not; all he wanted was for the other man to die!

Tonight's banquet is Chen Heng's best chance to bring down Chen Xuan.

He looked at Chen Yu with burning eyes and said:

"Royal sister, think carefully again. Is there any way to prove his identity that has nothing to do with his memories?"

Chen Yu frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "That's right, there's a red birthmark on the back of the King of Qin. Only a few people knew about it back then! Father Emperor knew about it too..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Heng seemed to have grasped at a lifeline, and a wild laugh spread across his face.

He stepped forward and said, "Father, you should remember that Fourth Brother had a red birthmark on his back when he was born! If he wants to prove himself, he must show the birthmark!"

These words reminded Emperor Jin.

Although the Emperor of Jin greatly admired the Prince of Qin, he admired his son...

Even though his suspicion of the King of Qin had weakened, his intense curiosity still made him want to see if the King of Qin in front of him really had the birthmark that belonged to his son!

"King of Qin, what do you think?" Emperor Jin asked.

Chen Xuan deliberately hesitated, looking troubled.

Seeing Chen Xuan's troubled expression, Zhang Xianzhao and the others were secretly delighted, thinking that they had finally caught Chen Xuan in a bind.

"King Qin, you yourself just said you wanted to prove your innocence. Now, the birthmark is the best evidence to prove your identity, so why are you afraid to show it to others?"

"Your Majesty, to silence the criticisms in court, we urge you to prove your innocence!"

Chen Xuan glanced at the Emperor of Jin and said, "Father, as a prince, it would be against propriety for me to undress in front of all the civil and military officials and noblewomen!"

At this point, who cares about etiquette and morality?

The more Chen Xuan tried to evade the issue, the more guilty he felt in front of everyone.

Zhang Xianzhao was the first to challenge, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the very foundation of the nation. All the civil and military officials have wanted to understand it. Your Majesty's repeated evasions are due to some fear, or perhaps you are afraid to show yourself because you don't have a birthmark?"

Chen Xuan sneered, "Zhang Xianzhao, what a despicable man! As the head of the civil officials and aristocratic families, you want to use etiquette to oppress others, even coerce His Majesty. Now, how come etiquette is no longer important in your mouth? You don't respect yourself, so what right do you have to restrain others?"

"King Qin, I do not wish to argue with you. Today, you must prove your identity no matter what, otherwise, the people will not be convinced, and the court will be unstable!" Zhang Xianzhao pressed aggressively.

Seeing Chen Xuan deliberately making excuses, even the Emperor of Jin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

His tone toward the King of Qin also became stern: "King of Qin, you don't need to say anything more, just prove your identity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Heng was overjoyed. Just now, Emperor Jin had frowned and spoken to the Prince of Qin in a stern tone.

You should know that this has never happened before.

In other words, Emperor Jin had already begun to have doubts about the King of Qin before him.

"Brother, if you cannot prove it, I will assume you are an imposter. To avoid any unintended consequences, please be careful!"

Chen Heng glared at Chen Xuan and said coldly.

"My royal brother seems to be watching my every move closely. Is it out of concern, or is there some ulterior motive? Fine, since you want to see my birthmark, I'll let you!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan took off his clothes, revealing a red birthmark on his back.

For the head of the intelligence department, disguising a birthmark was not a difficult task.

Besides, he was the King of Qin, a man of noble status, and no one came back to investigate the authenticity of his birthmark.

When Emperor Jin saw the birthmark on Chen Xuan's body, he was extremely excited. He also knew that the Crown Prince had framed the King of Qin time and time again in order to bring him down, causing the King of Qin to suffer great injustice.

"She has a birthmark."

"It really is a red birthmark, the King of Qin is real!"

"Now no one will dare to say anything, right? The childhood memories, food preferences, and birthmark all match up!"

Chen Heng's expression changed drastically when he saw the birthmark on Chen Xuan's back.

His body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, thinking to himself, "Impossible, he's clearly a fake..."

"No, Father, I need to verify the birthmark. This birthmark is fake!" Chen Heng stepped forward and bowed.

At this moment, Emperor Jin could no longer stand it. He glared fiercely at Chen Heng and roared, "Enough! What have you turned this banquet into? The King of Qin has always been courteous to you, but what have you done? You've tried to kill the King of Qin time and time again!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Father, in order to prevent further rumors from spreading in the court, I wish to undergo a blood test to prove our kinship. If the blood matches, my identity will no longer need to be proven!"

Chen Xuan knew that the blood-drop kinship test had no logic at all; it was purely a fabrication by people in ancient times.

But people in ancient times firmly believed in this; as long as their blood was compatible, no matter how many rumors there were, it would be difficult to shake his position.

The Crown Prince frequently used his identity to attack him, which had already exhausted him. It was necessary to cut off the source of the problem completely.

"Blood test for kinship?"

Wang Qingyi's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale. She thought to herself: Has this kid gone mad? How dare a beggar like him undergo a blood test with the emperor? His blood is lowly, while the emperor's blood is noble; they certainly won't mix.

The situation had turned in their favor, and the crown prince was even reprimanded by the Jin emperor.

Who would have thought that this madman would be so reckless as to bring up the blood-drop kinship test with the Emperor of Jin!

"Father, in order to convince the civil and military officials of the court, I humbly request Your Majesty's permission!" Chen Xuan knelt down and said, his eyes filled with determination.

Chen Heng was slightly taken aback, inwardly sneering, "You fool! Trying to prove kinship through a blood test? You'll be exposed! How could a beggar possibly have royal blood!"

At this moment, civil officials including Zhang Xianzhao were secretly gloating, waiting for Chen Xuan to commit suicide.

"I understand your pain. Alright, I will grant your request and perform the blood test. Once your blood is mixed with mine, if anyone in the court dares to say that you are not the Prince of Qin, I will be the first to execute them!" Emperor Jin looked at Chen Xuan, a trace of concern rising in his heart.

Chen Xuan's initiative to mention the blood test for kinship convinced Emperor Jin that this was indeed his biological son, and he had no regrets!

"Someone, bring me a knife!"

Emperor Jin gave the order.

The next moment, a palace servant brought a basin of cold water and placed it on a tray. Next to the basin was a small knife.

Emperor Jin was the first to cut his palm, and the blood dripped into the basin.

The officials quickly calmed down and composed themselves. Emperor Jin had gone to such lengths to prove the identity of the King of Qin. If anyone dared to bring it up again after the blood was mixed, they would deserve to be executed by Emperor Jin.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan walked over, gently cut open his palm, and blood dripped into the basin.

"Come and see, everyone!" Emperor Jin said.

Upon hearing this, all the officials gathered around to see if the blood in the basin had mixed together!

At this moment, Chen Heng, Chen Yu, and Wang Qingyi all came over.

Because the outcome will determine their fate!
