Chapter 860: Chapter 858: What is Mu Fei’s Intention?

“Why not ask Mu Fei where he got the blue-scaled jade which is supposedly my mother’s personal belonging?” Su Yingxue’s eyes were sharp as she turned to look at Mu Fei.

This person was unfathomable!

The Empress Dowager and Qin Muyan also stared intently at Mu Fei.

Their gazes carried a powerful pressure.

If it had been any ordinary person, they would have been scared into having a heart attack by now.

Yet Mu Fei remained calm and unhurried as he said, “This jade pendant was something I found at a ghost market. I am also a citizen of the Great Wei Dynasty and had heard of this item. Hence, I sought it out and eventually discovered the whereabouts of Princess Zhao Hua. If Princess Zhao Hua is not the daughter of the Eldest Princess, then why was the other half of this jade pendant not found with someone else, but with her instead?

The Ninth Princess Consort claims to be the daughter of the Eldest Princess, but what evidence does she have to prove it? After all, apart from a face that resembles the Eldest Princess, she has nothing else. And I have heard that those with exceptional medical skills can change a person’s face.”

As soon as Mu Fei spoke, the hall erupted into commotion.

“Changing faces?” Qin Rulie’s eyes deepened, “You mean to say, turning an entirely different face into an exact replica? Is such miraculous craftsmanship possible?”

“Of course it is. Su Yingxue of the Great Cheng Dynasty is renowned for her extraordinary medical skills. Surely, the emperor has heard of her, hasn’t he?” Mu Fei’s eyes had a flirtatious lift, the corners harboring a sharp glint.

Qin Rulie nodded, “Indeed, I have heard a little about her reputation recently.”

Seeing Su Yingxue close to Chu Yihan, a seed of doubt took root in his heart.

“Imperial Brother, Yingxue’s face has never changed; when I met her, she was already as she appears now! Besides, she is benevolent and skillful in medicine, using her talents solely to save lives. Changing her appearance is something she would disdain to do!” Qin Muyan couldn’t wait to defend Su Yingxue.

He knew that once his Imperial Brother began to doubt Su Yingxue,

The motivations behind her and Chu Yihan’s visit to the Great Wei Dynasty would come under suspicion.

He would not stand by and let such a thing happen.

“The Ninth Princess Consort is famed for her incomparable beauty, an object of desire for the whole world, but… blood relations and affection cannot be replaced by beauty,” Shen Yu covered her chest, sobbing and gasping for air.

Her speech was feeble and pitiful, yet it subtly reminded everyone that Su Yingxue’s beauty was her best weapon!

She also implied that Qin Muyan was blinded by Su Yingxue’s allure.

“Imperial Grandmother, considering the matter of the young lady’s identity, I think it should be handled with caution. We must uncover the complete truth,” Qin Rulie said with a deep frown.

No matter who was the genuine party and who was the impostor, it was a matter of great importance!

The lineage of the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty must not be confused!

The intentions behind the simultaneous appearance of these two people also needed to be thoroughly investigated!

“There’s no need for trouble if the emperor desires a clear resolution,” Chu Yihan, who had been observing from the sidelines, spoke lightly.

Although he wasn’t part of the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he seldom spoke, there was not a single person in the great hall who dared to overlook his presence.

He had been holding Su Yingxue’s hand the entire time and said coolly, “If you want to know the closeness of blood relations, a blood test will suffice.”

“A blood test? Are you suggesting we do a blood kinship test?” Qin Muyan asked, puzzled.

“No, my Princess Consort is capable of verifying whether two individuals share blood relations,” Chu Yihan, cradling Su Yingxue’s hand, softened his expression when his gaze fell upon her.

“Is it really so?” The Empress Dowager was quite astonished.

Qin Rulie was also surprised.

Qin Muyan was relatively calm and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes, “Indeed, I have witnessed such skill before. I can vouch for Yingxue, her results are undoubtedly accurate!”
