Chapter 986: Authenticity of the Last Testament _1

Does the Crown Prince also have the Emperor's will?

With the three copies already in the Empress's possession, four versions of the Emperor's will had come forward one after the other.

This is absolutely absurd.

The royals, knights, scholars, and officials were all dumbfounded.

They had never seen the like!

In the midst of the continuous squabbling and arguing, there was unanimous agreement to call upon Eunuch Chen, the seal holder of the Bureau of Rites, to judge the authenticity of these copies of the Emperor's will.

Eunuch Chen, having served the Emperor for forty years, held a high position of power. To say that he was even more trusted by the Emperor than Ministers of the Cabinet like Jiang Ruobai, would be no exaggeration.

He was familiar with every aspect of the Emperor's penmanship and habits.

The most critical point was that Chen was loyal only to the Emperor, showing no favoritism towards either the Crown Prince or the Prince of Zhao.
