Chapter 149 The truth comes out
After hearing the princess' order, the servants took action immediately without hesitation. They had a clear division of labor, with one group responsible for preparing all the items and venues needed for the blood test to ensure that the blood test could proceed smoothly.
Another group of people quickly set out to find the midwife who delivered the baby for the family, hoping to obtain more memories and evidence about the original situation from her.
The team preparing for the blood test were busy and orderly arranging the venue. They laid out the red carpet, set up the incense table, prepared clean water, silver needles and white cloth. They strived for perfection in every detail to ensure the solemnity and rigor of the ceremony.
Another team shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, eagerly looking for the midwife. They knew that finding her and asking her to recall what happened that year was crucial to uncovering the truth.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the midwife was successfully found shortly afterwards and was quickly brought to the princess's mansion.
As soon as the princess saw the midwife, her aura suddenly changed, and an invisible pressure swept towards the midwife like a mountain crushing an egg.
"As for what happened back then, this princess already knows the inside story. If you don't tell me the whole truth today, don't blame me for being ruthless and taking your life!"
When the midwife heard this, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her already fragile psychological defenses collapsed in an instant!
"My Lady...I...I confess. It was the Princess who forced me to do all this!"
Afterwards, the two children were also brought to the scene for blood testing. The final identification result was completely consistent with the midwife's confession - one of the children was clearly the one that the county magistrate used as a substitute. It turned out that the ones she gave birth to that year were not twins.
Now that we have both pieces of evidence, we can recall General Pingxi.
"Princess, General Pingxi is still fighting outside!"
"Whatever he is capable of, it's not because of me that he can get to where he is today. He will come back!"
……
Sure enough, as soon as Laus received the order from the princess, he ignored his army and secretly rushed back to the capital at a speed of 800 miles.
Ross soon came in front of the princess. Looking at her frosty face, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He tried to read something from the princess's expression, but her deep eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake, making it hard to understand.
"Royce, the trust between us seems to have been completely destroyed by you." The princess' voice was cold and firm, and every word pierced into Royce's heart like a sharp blade.
"Do you still remember the delivery? The midwife confessed everything, you bastard!"
Royce's face turned pale instantly, he knew his secret had been discovered by the princess. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that his words seemed so pale and powerless.
"I...I..." Ross stammered, unable to form a complete sentence.
The princess looked at Royce's panicked expression, and she couldn't help but feel sad. The man she once loved deeply actually did such a despicable thing for his own selfish desires.
"Why did you do this?" The princess' voice revealed endless disappointment and anger, "You actually lied to me, and you lied to me for so many years!"
Royce lowered his head and remained silent. He knew that his explanation could not win back the princess's heart, nor could it make up for the mistakes he had made.
"What are you going to do?" the princess asked coldly, "Continue to lie, or choose to confess?"
Ross slowly raised his head and stared at the angry yet beautiful face of the princess. He realized that he could no longer escape from reality.
"I admit that I have committed an unforgivable sin." Rouse took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, as if every word carried a heavy burden. "At that time, I was confused and overwhelmed, and I came up with such a stupid idea."
The princess widened her eyes and asked angrily, "So, how are you going to make up for the mistakes you made? Don't you know that I went through so much trouble to get you the position of General Pingxi?"
Ross was so ashamed that he lowered his head and remained silent, his face turning as pale as paper.
Finally, after a long period of inner struggle and torment, he took a deep breath as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then he mustered up the courage to speak again: "Madam, please forgive me! As for that poor child, let me take him back personally, and I will go find his biological mother. Only by doing so, perhaps I can slightly alleviate some of the sins I have committed..."
When these words came out, Royce began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was shrouded by an invisible fear. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the angry princess in front of him, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat had seeped out of his forehead.
The princess was completely enraged. She slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "Get out of here right now! I don't want to see you again these days, you disgusting guy!"
Her voice was full of majesty and anger, making the atmosphere in the whole room extremely tense and depressing.
Ross lowered his head and walked out of the room silently.
At the same time, outside the camp of Beiyan, the land under the moonlight seemed particularly quiet and solemn. However, this tranquility did not last long, because an elite cavalry team had quietly assembled in the dark night. They were dressed in black armor, like ghosts in the night, waiting for the order to attack.
Youyue was wearing a silver cloak and an iron helmet, with a determined look in her eyes.
She glanced at the cavalrymen who were ready to go. Every soldier was in high spirits. The horses seemed to sense the upcoming battle and were paddling their hooves and snorting restlessly.
"Brothers," Youyue's voice echoed in the night sky, carrying an unquestionable power, "Beiyan's main general has fled. This is the best time for us to counterattack. We must make a concerted effort to capture the enemy camp and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
Following her order, the cavalrymen shouted in unison, their hooves thundered, and they charged towards the Beiyan camp. Their figures drew silver arcs in the moonlight, like shooting stars across the night sky.
