The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 322 Bloodline Left in the World

Bai Zhaozhao quickly looked across at Zhong Jingchen, the male guest, and saw a look of shock on his face, obviously not expecting what Zhong Jingyu had done.

The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged. She said with a smile, "This is a coincidence. Don't worry, it's just a rumor. Don't pay any attention to it."

Obviously, the Queen Mother wanted to keep things quiet, but some people were unwilling to do so.

The eldest prince, who was finally released, suddenly said, "I think Master Zhong is talking nonsense! A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, and it's not shameful to like Princess Zhaohe, but you shouldn't paint her appearance on the goddess! And you still dare to ask for proof? What do you want to prove? Are you asking for proof that Princess Zhaohe is the reincarnation of the goddess?"

Bai Zhaozhao sneered in his heart: The supporting actor is here!

Emperor Yongkang looked at the eldest prince with a hint of displeasure, but the eldest prince said sternly, "Father, I think that Master Zhong's painting is inappropriate. Unless he can prove that this is a coincidence, he will be suspected of blaspheming the goddess!"

Indeed, if Zhong Jingyu did it on purpose, he was secretly giving the goddess a mortal appearance, which is inappropriate.

Seeing everyone's expressions of approval, Emperor Yongkang was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Zhong Jingyu, how do you prove that this is a coincidence?"

Zhong Jingyu seemed to have been prepared for this, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. I have carefully prepared this painting. The pigment used in this painting is extremely rare, with only a small amount produced each year, and it cannot be kept for a long time. It can be said that once you buy it, you must use it up quickly, otherwise it will lose its effect.

Many painters can attest to this, and this pigment is not available at this time of year. With a little research, you can find out that I bought last year’s output, so this painting can only have been created last year.”

As he spoke, Zhong Jingyu also looked in the direction of Bai Zhaozhao: "I wonder if the county lady can tell everyone whether you have seen me last year?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Zhaozhao, who smiled faintly, stood up and saluted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, not to mention last year, even now, I know that the person standing in the middle of the hall is the son of the Zhong family. There is no way, I really can't remember someone I only met once!"

Everyone:...

Zhong Jingyu: ...

Good guy Bai Zhaozhao, actually took the opportunity to humiliate him!

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhong Jingyu with some sympathy. Regardless of whether he deliberately drew Bai Zhaozhao or not, people had no impression of him at all.

Tang Yanyan on the side gave Bai Zhaozhao a thumbs up, saying, "Awesome!"

Zhong Jingyu pretended not to see this and continued, "At that time, in order to show my sincerity, I wrote down the descriptions of the goddess every time I visited a household in Yuzhou. After that, I asked them to sign and put their fingerprints on the descriptions. This was to restore the goddess' true appearance!

I have compiled these records into a book. As long as Your Majesty finds a few more talented painters, they will all draw the same appearance based on this book!"

Everyone:! ! !

There is even a booklet!

It can be seen that Zhong Jingyu was already preparing for this birthday party at that time. Indeed, if he did not have a similar face to Bai Zhaozhao, he would have become famous at this birthday party with this painting.

Bai Zhaozhao was also a little surprised. It seemed that Zhong Jingyu really went to paint the portrait of the goddess. I heard that very good painters would study the bone structure of the characters and could draw a rough outline just by listening to the description.

Then, this painting by Zhong Jingyu should be real.

Sure enough, the emperor and the empress dowager both believed this coincidence, but Zhong Jingyu looked at Bai Zhaozhao again: "Princess Zhaohe, I don't really believe in coincidences. Why don't you explain why you are so similar to the goddess?"

Everyone:? ? ?

Explanation, what can Bai Zhaozhao explain?

Most people didn't understand what Zhong Jingyu meant. Only a few people were reminded by this question and their minds raced. They glanced at Bai Lin, who looked calm.

If Bai Zhaozhao is the one pretending to be the goddess, then Bai Lin is the one behind it!

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout sooner or later. As long as someone finds any clues in the future, Bai Lin will be suspected of deceiving the emperor!

And this is also Zhong Jingyu’s real purpose. He has no evidence to prove that Bai Zhaozhao is the goddess, so he just raised a doubt. Unless Bai Zhaozhao can answer this question perfectly, even the emperor will suspect her!

Indeed, Emperor Yongkang's face was a little stiff, and there was something wrong with the way he looked at Bai Zhaozhao. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, but Bai Zhaozhao stood up again, and said to the emperor with excitement and a little naivety: "Your Majesty, do you think there is a possibility..."

Bai Zhaozhao paused, a little hesitant. Everyone was curious about what she said, and they all waited quietly for the next words. Emperor Yongkang also asked seriously, "What could it be?"

"Maybe..." Bai Zhaozhao said as if he was in a trance: "Maybe... I am..."

Zhong Jingyu also became nervous at this time. He couldn't believe his ears. Was Bai Zhaozhao going to self-destruct? How dare she?

But Bai Zhaozhao just gasped and hesitated to say it, so he had to ask for everyone: "What is it? Tell me!"

Bai Zhaozhao said seriously: "It is the bloodline left by the goddess in the world!"

Everyone:! ! !

emperor:! ! !

Queen Mother:!!!

The bloodline left by the goddess in the human world? Is this possible?

Bai Zhaozhao was immediately excited, almost dancing with joy: "That's right, Your Majesty, you see, this person has figured out the goddess's appearance!

And I didn’t see him last year, so what he drew must be real! The goddess must look like this!

You said, besides blood relationship, what other relationships can make people look alike?

Therefore, I may be the bloodline of the goddess left in the world! Maybe I will have the opportunity to ascend to heaven in the future!

Hmm... I just don't know how many descendants the goddess left behind. I remember there was a County Lady Su who looked a bit like me!

Oh, this is incredible! If the people knew that the goddess still has my bloodline in the world, they would definitely worship me!

Hehe, Your Majesty, I am going to be rich! When I have money, I will buy the Treasure Pavilion and give it to you, okay?"

Emperor Yongkang: ...

Everyone:...

"Zhao Zhao! Don't talk nonsense!" Prince An stood up and apologized, "My royal brother, please forgive me. The resemblance between Zhao Zhao and the goddess must be a coincidence. Otherwise, how can she, who is such a money-grubber, be worthy of the goddess' bloodline?"

Although Prince An was belittling Bai Zhaozhao, he was also giving the emperor a way out.

In fact, the emperor regretted it when he just became suspicious. He shouldn't have looked at Bai Zhaozhao. Wasn't it obvious that he also wanted to hear her explanation?

But he had already acknowledged the existence of the goddess. If he easily overturned it, wouldn't it mean that he was incompetent?

Besides, a country blessed by the goddess is more in line with his image as a wise ruler, isn't it?

Rather than someone pretending to be the goddess, the people would definitely prefer to believe that the goddess has a living descendant!

Emperor Yongkang then quickly took advantage of the situation and laughed, "That's right, Zhaohe, you'd better stop talking nonsense. The goddess has no desires or requests. Even if she really has blood, she won't be as greedy as you!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Those who didn't understand the deeper meaning of this said that Bai Zhaozhao was simply daydreaming.

Those who had vague guesses understood the emperor's intention. Even if Bai Zhaozhao really impersonated the goddess, she could not admit it, let alone go through the trouble of investigating it.

But Bai Zhaozhao knew that this was a suspicious point after all, so she curled her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, Father, I am not talking nonsense. This Zhong must think so too. Otherwise, why would he insist on proving that the person in the painting is the goddess herself, and why would he hint to everyone that I have the goddess' bloodline?"

Zhong Jingyu panicked: "Who hinted that you have the blood of the goddess?"

"You, what are you implying?"

"I……"

Zhong Jingyu said with a dark face: "I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"Ask? You drew the picture, why are you asking me?"

"because of you……"

"What am I?"

Bai Zhaozhao still had an innocent look on his face, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Zhong Jingyu opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. However, his silence made the emperor understand vaguely.
