Your Majesty, please look.
and I have shown you deference
As the Empress,
as to inflict calamity on me
At last, I have been proven innocent.
Hongyan would have been killed
Huan Huan, I----I have done you wrong
I am certain that nothing has been added to it.
I do not know how you have been so sorely offended
I shall indulge suspicion no more
in spite of being your son
Please see the truth, Your Majesty.
Precisely. As the Empress
Sit.
Test it again.
what more could you desire?
why should I resort to a malicious plan to frame Noble Consort Xi?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Highness, I have respected you
Your Majesty
Your Majesty, I did not do it
Your Majesty, I have brought some clean water
Your Majesty, if I had not seen through the trick in time
Your Majesty, this test shall resolve your suspicion.
Having count Shen's pledge of faith is a good thing
but his majesty has high hopes
for the sixth prince
For the sake of the generations to come
we must be thorough.
In that case, what do you suggest?
The only manner is to have a blood endeavor.
I learned of it from the imperial doctors
A drop of blood from each individual
is dripped into the same container
to see if the blood intermingles
If it does, they are kins
Otherwise, they are not
This is fairly easy
but I dare not harm your majesty
to obtain a drop of blood
This way may not be possible
how dare harm your majesty?
Your majesty
even if Hongyan is proved to be your son by the blood test
it will harm your paternal bond with him
if he learns of it when grown up
Despite your great expectations for Hongyan
others will speak ill of him due to this test
This is exactly
why the test must be performed
On this matter, there is no room for error
or your majesty
could hand the entire empire to an outsider
I thought we were deeply in love, your majesty
but things take a sudden turn and fall apart
Had I known you would come to suspect me
I would rather have lived out my days all alone at Mount Lingyun
Huan Huan, just a try
you and baby may be proved innocent
Your Majesty actually desires to do it for you do suspect me
Since you suspect
that Doctor Wen and I have had an affair
then it is enough
for Hongyan and Doctor Wen to do the blood test
Your Majesty will not be harmed
and our innocence may be proved
Su Peisheng, bring the Sixth Prince
You prepare for the blood test
Yes, Your Majesty
Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince---
Get a drop of his blood
Your majesty, what done is done even if Hong Yan is your own son
There will be rumors around the palace
People will say that he was suspected once
How can he have a foothold in the future?
Calm down and be seated
Su Peisheng.
Your majesty.
Wen Shichu.
It is impossible
Your Majesty!
It is impossible,Your Majesty!
Zhen Huan, on your knees!
I have done nothing wrong. Why should I kneel?
KinĄ¯s blood intermingles
There is nothing left to say
Strip off the emblems of her rank
and send her to the Cold Palace
together with that little bastard!
Flog Wen Shichu to death at once!
Who dares!
I have treated you well
Why have you done this to me?
Your majesty!
you really let me down!
See it with your own eyes!
Something must be wrong with the water
Your majesty, sometime is wrong with the waterYour majesty!
Something is truly wrong with the water
Any person's blood intermingles in it.
Your Majesty, please look closely.
Something is wrong with the water.
Your majesty, someone has played a dirty trick with the water.
Your majesty, my lady is innocent.
Your Majesty.
My Majesty, it is impossible!
I am infertile
Doctor Wen and Jinxi could never be my children!
hahaha I know
Your Majesty, this water tastes sour
for white alum has been added to it.
Your Majesty, as stated in the ancient medical books
if white alum is added to water
even the blood of strangers will intermingle
If oil is added
even the blood of true kin
will not, Your Majesty
Your Majesty, whoever is behind this has a wicked heart
To keep the test just and fair
the Empress herself prepared the water
My water absolutely has no problem
You are quite knowledgeable about medicine, arenĄ¯t you?
If I played such a trick
I would be easily caught
Would it not be too risky?
and I'm not so stupid
Your Majesty, as the proverb says
A tiger cub cannot be caught without entering the tigerĄ¯s lair.
It is worth the risk
If it worked as intended
the Sixth Prince would be branded as Doctor WenĄ¯s son
Who would perform the test again?
