Lan Fan finally entered.
As Prince Yu looked up, he saw that Chu Wang's expression was a little uncomfortable, as if... uneasy?
It was right to be uneasy!
This princess was indeed fake!
They also did not expect that Mr. Lan would be willing to accept this disguised demotion and be willing to come in, right?
Prince Yu and Lan Fan exchanged glances, and they both understood something.
They were deliberately blocking Mr. Lan from entering!
Lan Fan looked up, and his gaze met Chu Qianli, who was seated.
A hint of anger flashed in Chu Qianli's eyes, along with a barely perceptible anxiety. After that, she immediately averted her gaze, her face still wearing a smile.
"Your Highness the Imperial Tutor, hearing about you is not as good as meeting you! As expected, you are the senior brother of His Highness the State Preceptor. You are radiant and truly have some of the State Preceptor's demeanor!"
The smile on Lan Fan's lips almost couldn't be maintained.
This damned girl was belittling him with every word, elevating Lan Qing!
If it were anyone else, these words would naturally be praise, after all, Lan Qing was supreme in the hearts of the people!
But he, Lan Fan, was here to replace Lan Qing! Who wanted to be Lan Qing's subordinate?
"Since Mr. Lan has arrived, there is no time to delay. Why don't we let Mr. Lan verify the authenticity of Miss Chu?"
Today's morning court was convened an hour earlier, but it was not early, and dawn was approaching.
Prince Yu's original plan was to depart for Baijing Village in a little over an hour.
This fake princess could not be allowed to cause delays!
"Good, good, good! Since His Highness the Imperial Tutor is here, let's do a blood test for kinship!"
Chu Wang winked at Xiao Shunzi, who quickly brought out the prepared utensils.
Prince Yu was immediately dissatisfied: "Since Mr. Lan is to preside, we should naturally use Mr. Lan's method."
"Blood testing for kinship is the best method!" Chu Wang seemed unwilling to yield this time.
He said in a deep voice, "Does my elder brother think there is any method more credible than blood testing for kinship?"
Blood testing for kinship had always been the method everyone used.
The officials also recognized it.
"Of course, there is another method," Chu Qianli suddenly said. "His Highness the State Preceptor once said that the blood of a pure descendant of the Lan clan, when used in an ice pool, could verify my identity with my father."
The blood of a descendant of the Lan clan?
Lan Qing was, and Lan Fan was too. Since this method was mentioned by the State Preceptor, it was bound to be accurate.
"It's a pity that His Highness the State Preceptor was already severely injured while verifying for me before, and cannot verify again."
She looked at Lan Fan, her voice soft, "Originally, I had given up on this method, but I didn't expect Your Highness the Imperial Tutor to come. This is perfect!"
"Your Highness the Imperial Tutor is also a descendant of the Lan clan. Having cultivated the Lan clan's techniques for so many years, you are naturally a pure virgin. Now that Your Highness the Imperial Tutor is here to verify for my father and me, it is most suitable."
Chu Jiangnan remained silent, and Chu Wang pursed his lips.
Feng Yexuan, however, seemed rather nonchalant, looking at everything before him with indifference.
Although he did not understand some things yet, since this woman proposed this method, it meant that there must be some obstacle that Lan Fan could not overcome.
Otherwise, her identity as a fake princess would be exposed.
She would never lift a rock only to drop it on her own feet!
As expected, Lan Fan said indifferently, "It is indeed possible to verify with the pure blood of the Lan clan, but this method will damage my cultivation. Today, I still have to go to Baijing Village to preside over the grand ceremony. If my cultivation is damaged, the ceremony cannot be completed."
Chu Qianli smiled, "So, Your Highness the Imperial Tutor also approves of the blood testing for kinship method?"
Unexpectedly, Lan Fan said, "Blood testing for kinship is indeed a good method, but all the utensils and vessels must be prepared by me personally."
