Xie Yaoqing originally just wanted to watch the fun when he had nothing to do, but he never expected to hear such a shocking secret, and his spirits were lifted.
It is not difficult to hear from Xiao Chengxu's words that the empress dowager is not his biological mother, and that the concubine who actually gave birth to Xiao Chengxu is another person. Moreover, this concubine of the previous emperor and the empress dowager are close "good sisters", but they are "good sisters" so close that they can decide each other's lives.
No wonder the empress dowager didn't seem to care much about Xiao Chengxu. All along, Xie Yaoqing thought that it was because the empress dowager had a cold personality that she always acted very distant towards Xiao Chengxu, which made it so that there was not much warmth between the mother and son.
If Xiao Chengxu was not the Queen Mother's biological child, then everything would make sense. The Queen Mother had used some shady means to snatch him from someone else. Whenever the Queen Mother saw Xiao Chengxu, although she was happy that she finally had a prince to rely on, she would inevitably think of the bad things she had done. In this way, even if she wanted to get closer to Xiao Chengxu, she could never eliminate the estrangement and resentment in her heart.
As expected, there are still many royal secrets, like pearls in the deep sea, hidden in the endless darkness. The harem of the previous emperor was filled with concubines and beauties. In this seemingly prosperous palace, it is simply a pipe dream to say that there is no dark and dirty thing. In order to compete for the emperor's favor and lofty status, what is the friendship between sisters? It is common for them to turn against each other.
But the Queen Mother's actions were really disgusting. Not only did she murder the adults, she also snatched a son and adopted him as her own. In this way, she could not only secure her favor and status, but also have someone to rely on, and someone to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life. This was a very good plan, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Once the truth is revealed, all her calculations will be in vain.
It is no wonder that Xiao Chengxu no longer plays the role of a filial son, as he has learned the truth about his life. Facing the deep hatred of his mother's murder, if Xiao Chengxu can still be respectful to the Queen Mother and worship her, then he would be unworthy of being a son.
How could he not avenge the murder of his mother? For all these years, he had always treated the thief as his mother. It would be hard for anyone to swallow this anger.
The Queen Mother's face changed drastically when she heard this. She turned pale as paper in an instant, her body was shaky, and she asked in a trembling voice with a look of horror, "How...how did you know this?"
The emperor snorted coldly, a trace of contempt and anger flashed in his eyes, and said: "Do you think that what you did can really be concealed from the world?"
The Queen Mother's heart sank. She knew that the Emperor would not say such a thing for no reason. Various possibilities flashed through her mind, and finally settled on Nanny Lian.
The Queen Mother could only think that it was Nanny Lian who betrayed her. After all, apart from herself, Nanny Lian was the only person who knew about the situation. Moreover, Nanny Lian had been taken away before, and until now, no one knew whether she was alive or dead. It was possible that Nanny Lian betrayed her in order to save her own life.
However, what the Queen Mother did not know was that the person who betrayed her was indeed Nanny Lian, but it was not Nanny Lian in this life, but Nanny Lian in her previous life.
Because in this life, Nanny Lian was given a cup of poisoned wine after being taken out of the Cining Palace and was executed for being a spy for the enemy country. She had no chance to reveal the Queen Mother's secret. Xiao Chengxu also knew the Queen Mother's secret, so there was no need to keep Nanny Lian.
The Queen Mother stared at the Emperor with eyes wide open in disbelief. She could not accept this fact. She had always regarded Nanny Lian as her most loyal confidant, but she did not expect that she would be betrayed by her in the end.
"The emperor actually believed the words of a lowly servant. It seems that the emperor is really stupid and incompetent."
"Why can't I believe it? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Once you do something, there will always be some traces left."
Xiao Chengxu sneered, his icy eyes showing an all-seeing understanding.
Xiao Chengxu already knew the truth of the matter, so the empress dowager's sophistry was nothing but a ridiculous farce in his eyes.
The Queen Mother's originally straight back finally bent down, she covered her face and let out a gloomy laugh. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, with endless despair and sorrow, and the laugh echoed in the palace, making people shudder and their hair stand on end.
Shocked by the Queen Mother's strange laughter, the entire palace fell into deathly silence for a moment.
Xiao Chengxu looked at the empress dowager quietly. There was no mercy in his eyes, only anger and determination towards betrayal and deception.
"Yes, it was Ai Jia who did it, so what?"
The Queen Mother's tone was filled with resentment and hatred.
"When that bitch first entered the palace, I still had some sympathy for her, but she didn't know what was good for her. She always competed with me for everything, trying to suppress me. Humph, isn't it just relying on her beauty to seduce people? But she has beauty but a simple mind and is extremely stupid. No matter what I say, she believes it. Such a fool doesn't deserve to live in the harem. If she doesn't die, who else should die? Anyway, she will die anyway, so I might as well send her off myself."
At this point, the Queen Mother simply stopped hiding and confessed directly. After all, Xiao Chengxu's attitude at this time clearly regarded her as an enemy, not a mother. No matter how much she tried to cover up the truth, it was useless.
