Chu Wang's face darkened, and he immediately said, "The items are all prepared. Time is of the essence, and my palace vessels are also spotlessly clean. It's not that they cannot be used!"
Prince Yu's eyes lit up.
This fellow was quite flustered today.
Such impatience, didn't that mean there was a problem?
He glanced at Lan Fan, who responded with a look.
This princess, it seemed, was indeed a fake.
Blood relation identification, such a simple matter. What vessel was used, as long as it was genuine, there would be no difference whatsoever.
But it was precisely because it was too simple that so many tricks could be played.
Lan Fan, with his extensive knowledge, naturally knew that some medicinal substances, when placed in clear water, could cause any two drops of blood to merge together.
So, this was their plan!
No wonder they were so righteous!
Unfortunately, the one they encountered today was him, Lan Fan!
Lan Fan smiled and said, "The princess's return to her ancestral lineage is a major event. The vessel used cannot be chosen casually."
"If everyone does not mind the trouble, why not move to the Lingjiu Hall and use the sacred bowl of the Lingjiu Hall?"
After saying this, Lan Fan looked at Chu Jiangnan and slightly inclined his body, asking, "What is Your Majesty's opinion?"
Chu Jiangnan did not speak. He turned his head and glanced at Chu Qianli.
Why was His Majesty hesitating?
Suddenly, all the officials in the court felt a jolt.
A bad premonition!
Could it be that this so-called princess was merely someone the Emperor found to impersonate and replace to alleviate an urgent situation?
Your Majesty, please do not disappoint everyone again!
Chu Wang was about to say something when Chu Qianli suddenly said, "The Lingjiu Hall is naturally the best place for blood relation identification!"
"Little Li'er..." Chu Wang looked at her with anxiety in his eyes.
Although he didn't understand, who was Prince Yu? He saw through it at a glance!
Heh!
What a farce!
They didn't need him and Mr. Lan to do anything; these people would inevitably expose themselves!
"Then please Your Majesty proceed to the Lingjiu Hall!" Prince Yu bowed, making a gesture of respectful invitation to the Emperor.
The officials immediately followed suit, bowing and waiting.
Chu Jiangnan's expression remained largely unchanged.
He was different from Chu Wang. Chu Wang had not yet reached the Emperor's level of composure.
But Chu Wang's demeanor had already given Prince Yu a clear understanding.
Such petty tricks, daring to show off in front of him and Mr. Lan!
Soon, he would make this Emperor completely lose his prestige in front of all the officials!
"Mr. Lan, regarding the vessel to be used later..." Prince Yu whispered as they hurried towards the Lingjiu Hall.
Lan Fan smiled and said, "The Lingjiu Hall has more than one sacred bowl. There are also some that Lan Qing had prepared earlier. They cannot guess which one we will use."
"Then, the clear water to be used..."
"They can guess even less. Let them go ahead; I have my own methods!"
As the group arrived at the Lingjiu Hall, as Prince Yu and Lan Fan had predicted, the first to enter were Chu Wang and Chu Qianli.
One used the excuse of guiding the Emperor, the other the excuse of serving the Emperor. In any case, before everyone else entered the Lingjiu Hall, they had already arrived.
"There are several sacred bowls here. Esteemed Hall Master, please instruct which bowl to use," Chu Wang asked.
At this moment, Chu Wang appeared to be dignified and forthright.
Lan Fan glanced at the bowls in front of the divine statue and said faintly, "Then take the one in the very center."
"Good!" Chu Wang ordered someone to fetch the bowl and immediately took a bottle of water from Xiao Shunzi.
"This is the dew collected this morning by my order. It is pure and immaculate, most suitable!"
