Today, Nanqing Palace is decorated with red hangings and the doors are full of joy, because today is the birthday of the Holy Mother, Empress Di.

Although the birthday banquet would only start at noon, from the crack of dawn, officials of all sizes came to pay their respects and send congratulatory gifts.

In the Nanqing Palace, hundreds of officials gathered. The Eight Princes and their wives were sitting in the main hall of the Nanqing Palace, with smiles on their faces.

Empress Di was dressed in a golden shroud, with kind eyes and graceful appearance. She greeted every official with a smile.

Mr. Bao had come here a long time ago. After greeting all the officials, he found the Eighth Sage King and Queen Li.

Not long after, Master Pang also arrived. After sending congratulatory gifts, he entered the inner palace and found Master Bao and his party.

Everyone made careful plans again.

It's almost noon, and the officials have basically arrived, just waiting for the Holy One to arrive!

Not long after, a loud shout came from outside Nanqing Palace, "The Emperor has arrived."

Ming Dynasty yellow umbrellas embroidered with dragons, gold and jade palace fans decorated with phoenix feathers, eunuchs' brocade robes, palace ladies' colorful skirts, and imperial guards were all listed outside the Nanqing Palace.

The Eight Wise Kings laughed loudly and said, "Comrades, please follow me to pick you up!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!" Everyone paid homage.

"Father and king, mother and concubine, please get back on your feet quickly!" Renzong said with a smile, "Dear ladies, please rise!"

Everyone stood up, and the Eighth Prince and Lady Di sat down on the main seats.

Emperor Renzong looked joyful and bowed down, "My child has met his father and his wife! Congratulations to my mother and concubine for being as blessed as the East Sea and living as long as the Southern Mountains!"

This is filial piety, the filial piety of a son paying respect to his parents.

"Get up quickly!" The Eighth Prince laughed.

Renzong stood up and said loudly, "It's getting late, father, why don't you start the banquet quickly!"

The Eight Wise Kings nodded, "You can do whatever you want!"

Only then did everyone sit down and begin to taste the delicious food and wine.

Lord Bao and Master Pang quietly left the table and walked to the inner room of the flower hall.

The Eighth Sage King suddenly stood up, nodded to Renzong, and said loudly, "Everyone, please feel free to do so. I have some private things to say to the Emperor, and I ask for your forgiveness!"

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this. They stood up in a hurry and clasped their fists at the same time, "I don't dare. Your Majesty and the Prince, please do it!"

Emperor Renzong was a little puzzled, but when the Eighth Prince spoke, he naturally could not disobey it, so he got up and followed the Eighth Prince towards the inner room of the flower hall!

In the inner room of the flower hall, Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao, Ding Yuehua, Bai Yutang, Bai Yuewu, Taishi Pang, Eunuch Chen Lin, Empress Li and Fan Zonghua are already waiting there!

The Eighth Prince walked in with Emperor Renzong.

Renzong was slightly startled when he saw so many people, and said hesitantly, "Bao Aiqing, Grand Master Pang, and Guard Zhan, why are you here? Chen Lin, when did you return to Beijing? And..."

Emperor Renzong pointed to the people in Bai Yutang and asked, "Who are they?"

"This is the young hero Bai Yutang, who is known as the Golden Mouse in the world. This is Miss Ding Yuehua. This is Miss Bai Yuewu. And, these two..." Mr. Bao introduced this place, paused slightly, and said

Zhan Zhao and others said, "Guard Zhan, Shaoxia Bai, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, stood up at the same time, walked outside the door, and became alert.

Ding Yuehua and Bai Yuewu also went to other locations and became alert.

Emperor Renzong couldn't help but change his expression when he saw everyone's expressions of panic. He looked at the Eighth Prince and asked, "Father, what happened?"

Mr. Bao sighed secretly, turned around, clasped his fists and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I want to report this. This is a strange case!"

"What kind of strange case is this?" Emperor Renzong asked solemnly.

Mr. Bao suddenly raised his head, his dark face was stern and his sharp eyes were like lightning, "The civet cat is replaced by the prince!"

——————————————

"It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous, what a civet cat for a prince, it's sheer nonsense!" In the flower hall in the backyard of Nanqing Palace, Emperor Renzong was furious, he stood up, pointed at Mr. Bao and shouted, "What a civet cat for a prince." Prince, Bao Zheng, as a third-rank official, you don’t want to serve the country, but instead talk nonsense and lie. What crime do you deserve! Do you believe it or not, I will take off your head!"

"Your Majesty!" Mr. Bao's eyes were burning, a trace of righteousness appeared on his dark face, and he clasped his fists and said sternly, "Everything the minister said is true, and there is no lie. Please observe it clearly, Your Majesty!"

"This is absolutely ridiculous and nonsense!" Emperor Renzong was furious, his handsome face was twisted and ferocious, and he shouted angrily, "Bao Zheng, do you believe it or not, I'm going to take your head right now!"

"Your Majesty!" The Eighth Prince and Chen Lin suddenly cried and knelt down at the same time, lying on the ground!

"Father, Eunuch Chen Lin, what are you doing? Are you not as good as Bao Zheng?" Renzong was furious, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The Eighth Prince is his biological father, and Eunuch Chen Lin has watched him grow up. They, they must not be crazy too!

Emperor Renzong's body shook slightly and he clenched his fist tightly.

"Your Majesty, what Master Bao said is true!" The Eighth Prince raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty is indeed not my own son, but the deceased son of the late Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, everything Master Bao said is true!" Chen Lin also cried, "What Master Bao said is absolutely true. The emperor's biological mother is none other than Empress Li of Yuchen Palace. It was indeed Chen who Lin smuggled the newly born Wan Sui out of the palace, and then delivered it to the Eighth Prince. This is absolutely true..." Chen Lin sobbed as his lapels were wet with tears.

"You lied to me... it's all fake, it's all fake..." Emperor Renzong suddenly trembled and fell to the ground with a thud. Water gushed out from his eyes as he looked at the people kneeling down in the hall. , slowly shook his head and then shook his head, saying in disbelief, "You lied to me... You lied to me..."

When the few people kneeling on the ground saw the emperor in such a state, their hearts felt as if they were being cut by a knife. Mr. Bao opened and closed his lips several times and remained silent!

Mr. Bao took a deep breath, frowned suddenly, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince and Eunuch Chen Lin are witnesses in this case; Concubine Li has Jin Wan as a witness. The evidence is conclusive. Please ask the Emperor to judge." !”

"Holy Judgment...Holy Judgment?!" Emperor Renzong slowly closed his eyes, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, Bao Heizi, tell me, how do you want me to be Holy Judgment...how to be Holy Judgment..."

The emperor fell to the ground, curled up and cried like a child.

Empress Li's body was shaking, her heart felt like a knife being cut, and tears were rolling around her eyes!

Does he refuse to recognize me?

Does he refuse to recognize me as a blind mother?

The Eighth Prince and Chen Lin knelt forward, walked in front of the Emperor Renzong, and helped Renzong up. The Eighth Prince said, "Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor's Holy Judgment!"

Emperor Renzong showed an expression that seemed to be crying and smiling. He slowly turned his head and looked at Empress Li. After the corner of his mouth twitched several times, he burst into tears!
