Chapter 324: Chapter 235: Revealing the Child’s Identity Chapter 324: Chapter 235: Revealing the Child’s Identity “Speak, what is the matter?” The Emperor glanced coldly at the two of them and asked.

Pei Huaian bowed and said, “Father, your son is guilty.”

“What crime have you committed?” The Emperor’s gaze measured the two unceasingly, finally resting on that chubby child.

“To report to Father, at the palace banquet a few years ago, someone drugged your son, and by chance, I encountered Shao He. She is the one who… had relations with your son, and she also bore your son a child.”

“What did you say!” The Emperor’s pupils suddenly widened, scarcely able to believe his words.

“And today, your son also came to seek Father’s forgiveness for this matter. Everything is your son’s fault, and I am willing to accept whatever punishment Father deems fit!”

The Emperor’s expression changed as he said sternly, “Do you know the consequences of deceiving your sovereign?”

“Your son is aware.”

“Knowing that, you still dared to speak!” the Emperor said with fury.

“Your son knows his mistake, but I beg Father to quell your anger!”

The Emperor’s gaze fell on the child, who was unaware of what was happening; his clear eyes shimmered with the innocence of a child.

“Bring him over, let me have a look,” The Emperor beckoned to Shao He, wanting to take a closer look at the child.

Shao He didn’t rise to carry the child over but set him down and pointed to the man atop the steps, saying, “Go there, find Grandfather.”

Xiao Linzhang, his frame wavering step by step, made his way over, grasping the edge of the bed and muttering, “Grand… Grandfather.”

Looking at the face identical to that of Pei Huaian as a child, the joy in The Emperor’s eyes was evident as he couldn’t help but reach out to take him onto his lap, adoring the child’s chubby appearance in his heart.

Yet, despite this, he still turned to the two sternly and said, “The Royal Family’s bloodline must be kept pure. How can you prove the identity of this child?”

Shao He immediately produced a test paper, pricked the child’s finger and her own, and let the blood drip onto the paper. The color of the paper began to change,

She then did the same with her own blood and Pei Huaian’s for a test, and the color on the paper didn’t change at all. Afterward, she used Pei Huaian’s and the child’s blood for the test, and the color on the paper began to change again.

“Only the blood of two people with the same blood can make this test paper change color. If two people have no relation, there will be no change at all,” Shao He explained.

The Emperor smiled widely, holding the child and playfully teasing him nonstop.

Xiao Linzhang knew even better how to charm him, causing The Emperor to burst into laughter, and the grandfather and grandson got along wonderfully.

Shao He and Pei Huaian exchanged a glance, having been somewhat worried that The Emperor might have trouble accepting this, they didn’t expect him to be so fond of Xiao Linzhang.

“By the way, what is the child’s name?” The Emperor asked without glancing their way, his eyes fixed on the child in his embrace, never tiring of looking at him.

Shao He spoke up first, “To inform The Emperor, his name is Pei Linzhang.”

Pei Huaian was surprised, not expecting her to have changed the child’s surname.

The Emperor, hearing the name, nodded his approval,

“Mm, I will remember, you may rise.”

Pei Huaian hurriedly pulled Shao He to their feet, respectfully saying, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“How old is the child?”

“He is now two years old.”

“Grand… Grandfather!” Each time Xiao Linzhang uttered the title, he blinked and enunciated with effort.

The Emperor laughed at this spectacle, “You are more endearing than your father ever was.”

Hearing this, Pei Huaian’s mouth twitched slightly; could it be that as a child he had been annoying?

The Emperor shifted his gaze back to the two, his smile slowly fading and his voice carrying a hint of anger, “Such a significant matter, and you dared to conceal it from me!”

“Father, your discerning eye sees true. The matter indeed had its reasons. At that time, your son was drugged and didn’t know the other party’s identity. It was only later that your son learned of it,” Pei Huaian said, looking up earnestly.

The Emperor, seeing his sincere demeanor, not appearing to lie, questioned Shao He again, “Tell me what really happened at that time. He was drugged, but what about you?”

“The commoner girl…”

“Father, at that time, your son had no means to counteract the effects of the drug, and hence, out of necessity, forcibly took Shao He to a room. She is innocent in this matter, and it is all your son’s fault. I ask Father to punish me,” Pei Huaian knelt down again to accept his guilt.

The Emperor gazed deeply at them both, little Linzhang, sensing the change in the atmosphere, grabbed The Emperor’s clothes and stood up, planting a kiss on his cheek.

This gesture made The Emperor’s heart bloom with joy, and the anger rising within him dissipated like smoke.

“Enough, you too are a victim in this. As punishment, you are to copy the ancestral teachings,” said The Emperor.

“Thank you, Father,” said Pei Huaian, knowing The Emperor would certainly penalize him, even if only to silence the wagging tongues; he had to be punished.

“Now that we have confirmed the child’s identity, we will find a time for him to be acknowledged and brought back into the family lineage.” The Emperor did not wish for the blood of the Royal Family to be cast adrift, and now, he could openly dote on his grandson.

“Father, please reconsider.”

The Emperor didn’t expect him to come forward and refuse; just as his mood had lightened, it darkened once again, “What do you mean by this? You do not want the child acknowledged and brought back into the family lineage? Or is it that some oppose it?”

Clearly, The Emperor was implying Shao He, thinking she did not agree to let the child return to the Royal Family.
