"It's hardly a brilliant move, just some folk remedies," the old doctor said with a smile. He slowly lowered the medicine chest from his shoulder, took out an extremely sharp and long silver needle, smiled at Gao Minyue, and then looked at Xie Jin Yan, pointing to the silver needle, "Actually, this method is very simple, just inject the needle into the mother's body to obtain the fetus' blood."

"If one is not enough, then inject a hundred needles. Then soak these hundred silver needles in water, take the blood on them, and then Your Highness can use the blood to verify. The truth will soon be revealed."

What the hell?

Inject silver needles into the mother's body to draw the baby's fresh blood?

Wait... will that even work?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Xie Jin Yan and Yu Qingwu exchanged glances, both quite skeptical.

Gao Minyue also revealed a look of disdain, sneering, "Old man, is this what you call an accurate method of paternity testing? Do you even believe it yourself?"

"I believe..."

Gao Minyue's eyes were full of ridicule, and she was about to insist that the child belonged to Xie Jin Yan, but the next moment, Xie Jin Yan's cold voice made her freeze again.

"Shixiong, what… what do you mean?"

"You really want to let this old thing inject a hundred silver needles into my body? This… this will kill someone!"

Gao Minyue raised her head, her face filled with unwillingness and resentment. Before Xie Jin Yan could speak, her eyes turned red, looking like she had been betrayed, and she cried sharply, "Shixiong, I'm carrying your flesh and blood in my belly, how can you be so heartless!"

"Whether it is or isn't, a test will reveal the truth. Since you insist that it is, then what are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to be tested?"

This time, it was Yu Qingwu who interrupted her.

Looking at Gao Minyue expressionlessly, she said with a faint smile, "Little Shimei, you and I are from the same sect, sisters in the same school. If you really have an affair with my husband, I will not be stingy and will give you an explanation. But if you slander people out of thin air, this is no longer a private matter between you and me!"

"I'll say it again, mixing up the bloodline of the royal family is a capital crime! Moreover, you are the Princess of Nan Yue, together with the Nan Yue King day and night. The spies from Nan Yue can testify to this. Perhaps this child is the Nan Yue King's. Who knows if you and the Nan Yue King colluded to deliberately disrupt the Wei Dynasty's bloodline."

Yu Qingwu sneered coldly, her words like knives, aggressive and unforgiving.

These words also made the prison guards and the old doctor realize the truth.

Could it be that this is a conspiracy of Nan Yue?

In an instant, the two looked at Gao Minyue with even more disgust.

The previous disgust came from their hatred of the people of Nan Yue, but now it was directed towards Gao Minyue herself.

After looking at Gao Minyue in silence for a moment, the old doctor simply rolled up his sleeves and immediately approached Gao Minyue, saying unhappily, "Alright, Princess of Nan Yue, this matter concerns the fate of the Wei Dynasty, even if someone dies today, I will still perform the test. At worst, you die, and I'll pay with my life."

"What… what?"

"You crazy old man!"

Gao Minyue's body trembled violently, looking at the white-bearded old man in front of her in disbelief, almost in shock.

At the same time, the confident look in her eyes revealed a hint of guilty conscience.

She had never had any intimate contact with Shixiong, so how could the fetus in her belly be his?

All of this... was just what that person taught her!

That person said that as long as she said this, Shixiong would definitely keep her by his side, even if only to prove his innocence, until the fetus in her belly was born. Then, with a little trickery, Shixiong would have to acknowledge the child, even if he didn't want to. If he acknowledged the child, he would naturally have to acknowledge her.

However, she never expected things to turn out this way.

Even more unexpectedly, Shixiong would allow others to harm her.

It was clear… it was clear that it wasn't like this before!

Shixiong used to protect her a lot, and he liked her very much!

Yes! Shixiong liked her! If he didn't like her, how could he have protected her like that? She didn't think it was just because of her father's relationship.

If it was only because of her father's relationship, then Shixiong would not have let her off so easily, given that she had tried to kill Yu Qingwu several times. But Shixiong had softened every time!

This shows that Shixiong still had her in his heart.

It's just… it's just that because she wasn't a virgin back then, Shixiong had some reservations in his heart.

It must… it must be like this!

So as long as she begs again, Shixiong will definitely take her away!

Thinking of this, Gao Minyue wanted to rush towards Xie Jin Yan again. Her eyes were bloodshot as she cried out to him, "Shixiong, are you just going to watch me be harmed like this? You used to love me the most! Is it because…"

"Enough, A Yue!"

"Doctor, do it!"

Seeing that she was going too far, Xie Jin Yan interrupted her sternly.

Stopping her, he said, "A Yue, the reason I still give you some face is entirely because of your father. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I don't mind taking your life directly to prove my innocence."

Xie Jin Yan would naturally not take her life, but he would never allow her to say the words that followed, which were nothing more than those that嫌弃 (xiánqì - dislike) her for not being chaste.

He had heard these words countless times, and had explained them to her countless times, but she was like a madwoman. Therefore, it was futile to explain more now. Clearing the truth and washing away the dirt on his body was the most important thing.

However, with a hundred silver needles stuck in her, she might really lose her life.

After thinking about it, he added, "Doctor, before you start, knock her unconscious. It won't be pleasant to hear her wailing later."

"Your Highness is right."

Hearing this, the old doctor nodded, then took out a handkerchief, smeared some medicine on it, and immediately covered Gao Minyue's mouth and nose with it.

Gao Minyue's eyes rolled back, and before she could say anything, she fainted.

Looking at Gao Minyue, who had fallen to the ground, Xie Jin Yan frowned slightly, then looked at the old doctor and said, "Doctor, just scare her. With a hundred silver needles stuck in her, I'm afraid it will really lead to death."

"Hey, to be honest, Your Highness, I don't have any real method of verification at all. I'm just scaring her."

The old doctor smiled and said to the others, "Your Highness, please go out first. Leave everything to me."

"Alright, then we'll trouble Doctor Liu."

This time, it was Song Guan who spoke.

He smiled at Doctor Liu and said to Xie Jin Yan, "Don't worry, Xie Langjun. Doctor Liu is a miracle doctor. If he says there won't be any problems, then there definitely won't be any problems."

Besides, Doctor Liu wasn't stupid enough to kill the Princess of Nan Yue just because he hated the people of Nan Yue.

Xie Jin Yan was a little hesitant, after all, it was no small matter if the Princess of Nan Yue died here.

However, after hearing Song Guan's words, he was relieved and simply said 'I'm counting on you' to Doctor Liu before stepping out of the prison.

About half an hour later, everything was finally ready, and Gao Minyue slowly woke up from the pain.
