Chapter 137: Queen Mother's Identity

A flash of astonishment flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, followed by fear, which disappeared in an instant.

But Wei Qingyan was trying to trick her, so he kept his eyes fixed on her, taking in every change in her eyes.

"You...are talking nonsense."

The Queen Mother pointed at Wei Qingyan, her fingers trembling.

Wei Qingyan ignored her and continued, "What if the world knew that the Queen Mother allowed Princess Yu and her gang of remnants of the previous dynasty to harm the people of Wei?"

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense." The Queen Mother said angrily, "I don't know any remnants of the previous dynasty."

She was a little confused.

Hearing footsteps outside, she remembered that she had just called the palace servants. She was worried that they might hear something they shouldn't have heard, so she hurriedly said, "Don't come in."

The emperor, who had just arrived at the door, waved away the people behind him, leaving only Feng Ruobao standing trembling by the side.

Inside the room, Wei Qingyan sneered, "If not, why would the Queen Mother force us to drink the poisoned tea?"

In Princess Yu's resentful scene, she saw clearly the appearance of the man in black robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of the Queen Mother.

Or perhaps it was the Queen Mother who looked like him.

No matter how young one looks, one's eyes cannot hide anything. They are full of the vicissitudes of life accumulated over the years.

Princess Yu was also very respectful to him, even a little bit fawning.

She couldn't help but think of the resentment she saw in Liu's mansion that day, and the look that the woman who looked similar to Princess Yu gave the man in black robe.

Wei Qingyan now has a loved one, and she can tell clearly that the way Princess Yu and the others looked at the man was definitely not love between a man and a woman.

She was too familiar with Princess Yu's behavior in front of that man. It was exactly the same as when she was a child, she longed for the motherly love of Madam Wei.

On the way into the palace, she talked about this with Shi Yu, and Shi Yu agreed with her.

The Queen Mother, Princess Yu, and the woman who looks similar to Princess Yu are most likely the daughters of the man in black robe.

This... is too unbelievable!

But the Queen Mother's performance just now...

She was not at all surprised that Princess Yu was a remnant of the previous dynasty, but was panicked about her identity being exposed and was eager to deny it.

"I..." The Queen Mother was choked for a moment.

Soon, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with coldness, "You are so bold, I am the Queen Mother.

You are just a girl from the Anyuan Marquisate, yet you dare to frame and question me. I will not tolerate your presumptuous behavior."

"If everyone in the world knew what you did, would you still be able to continue serving as the Queen Mother?"

Wei Qingyan remained undeterred and retorted, "I may not be as high-ranking as you, but I behave properly and I sit upright. How about you?

You knew full well that Princess Yu's evil deeds were too numerous to list, and that Shi Yu stopped them from kidnapping people, which was what the people wanted. Yet you took your anger out on him and were willing to take his life.

How dare you say you weren't in cahoots with Princess Yu? The execution took place within an hour, and you hurriedly summoned Shi Yu to the palace. How dare you say you weren't colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty?

She could clearly see that the Queen Mother's fingers were trembling when she poured the tea. If it was an ordinary poison, how could she be like that?

Her words were powerful.

The Queen Mother was powerless to refute. Ugly was not enough to describe her expression. She turned to Shi Yu and asked, "Are you just going to watch her bully your mother like this?"

His face was filled with a gloomy look as if a storm was about to come.

"Mother, can you please tell me that what she said is not true?" Shi Yu pretended not to see the empress dowager's expression of being on the verge of collapse.

He believed that if the Queen Mother did not want anyone to hear their conversation, she would have called someone in to attack Xiao Yan, or even him.

His expression was no longer as gentle as before, and Shi Yu said in a harsh voice, "Since my mother knew that I was the Queen Mother of Wei, why did she still help the tyrant to commit atrocities?

Do I have to do this because of my status as the queen mother?

Does the emperor know that the queen mother is helping others to harm his country?"

"Shut up! I didn't!" The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something terrible. Her lips trembled and her eyes were bloodshot. "I didn't."

Shi Yu stared at her intently, "Then mother, can you please tell me why you have tried to poison me so many times?

Mother, please tell me again how you, who was in the harem, were able to understand the situation outside in such a short time.

Nanny Wang Chun is dead. Who else in this palace is a remnant of the previous dynasty? Or does the Queen Mother have her own way of contacting them? "

When Nanny Wang Chun was taken away by the emperor, the empress dowager guessed that perhaps the emperor had noticed something.

But the emperor has always been filial, and she uses filial piety to control him, so he will never disobey him easily.

"So, it turned out to be you, your royal brother who instigated this."

The Queen Mother suddenly went crazy, raised her hand and fist and rushed towards Shi Yu.

Wei Qingyan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Shi Yu shook his head at her.

The Queen Mother punched Shi Yu's chest with her fist, "As much as I loved your cleverness in the past, I now hate your cleverness.

From today on, I no longer have you as my son. Take her and get out of here. Get out of here right now."

Shi Yu didn't move and let her beat him.

How much strength could a woman in the deep palace who had no martial arts skills have? What he wanted was her truth.

But she still refused to admit it, so Shi Yu spoke again coldly, "You knew that he had the intention to steal the country, but you protected him everywhere.

Do you still remember that the emperor is your son? Your family wanted to seize your son's throne, but you hid it from your emperor.

Do you really not want a son anymore?

Or are you waiting for your father to complete his great cause and then make you a princess?

Then have you ever thought about what will happen to your family and your descendants?"

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother was about to slap Shi Yu in the face.

Shi Yu grabbed her wrist.

He smiled, shook off the Queen Mother's hand, and took a few steps back to keep a distance from her. "Since Queen Mother no longer wants a son, I don't have to take this slap.

I have ordered people to pursue the Liu family's exiled troops and will never give them another chance to eat people. Mother, please think about whether you should fulfill your filial duty on his behalf or explain all this to your brother.

The Queen Mother looked at him in amazement, "Why are you so determined to kill so many people?"

As if he couldn't believe it, "Since you have guessed that he is your grandfather, why do you still want to kill him so desperately? He is already leaving.

He will never harm the people of Wei again, so why do you want to put him to death?"

"Your Majesty, what you asked is funny. If you could kill Shi Yu, why couldn't Shi Yu stop that man from cannibalism to cure his illness?"

Wei Qingyan walked up to Shi Yu and protected him behind him.

"That's his maternal grandfather, his biological maternal grandfather." The Queen Mother suppressed her voice, speaking hysterically with tears streaming down her face.

The emperor, who had been listening outside the door for a long time, finally couldn't help but push the door open.

His face was filled with anger. "So, in the Queen Mother's heart, the remnants of the previous dynasty are better than her son, better than the Shi family, right?"

The Queen Mother didn't expect him to appear, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

The emperor heard everything.

She looked at Shi Yu angrily. It must be him. It must be him who led the emperor here.

At this moment, her hatred towards Shi Yu reached its peak, and she regretted having been kind to him in the past.

The emperor walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "Three years ago, your mother told me that you were the daughter of the Xie family and the prince of the previous dynasty.

The girl from the Xie family died when you were born. She and the prince were not married in a formal way. The Xie family thought your status was shameful, so they raised you as a concubine's daughter.

In order to win over the Xie family, the late emperor wanted to form an alliance with them through marriage. However, the Xie family was not optimistic about him at first and was reluctant to marry their legitimate daughter to the late emperor who came from a humble background, so they pushed you, their concubine's daughter, to the front.

No one expected that the late emperor would really succeed. Your identity was completely concealed, and the Xie family no longer dared to reveal a single word to the outside world.

Until the Battle of Huangshaling, when the Protector General was killed, Shi Yu attacked Beiling and killed Beiling's commander Su Fu.

I sensed something was up and was about to investigate when the Queen Mother revealed her identity to me, and also told me that Su Fu was my half-brother."
