Chapter 131: Flesh and blood?

"you……"

The Queen Mother quickly retracted her hand, ignoring his question, her face suddenly darkened, and she took a step back in disbelief.

She found traces of the mother Gu's clone within the emperor's body, but...

"You actually broke free from Shuirong's control over you. No... Impossible! How could this happen?"

The Queen Mother was immersed in her own world, constantly muttering to herself, "Could it be that there's something wrong with my Gu?"

"No way, that's..."

The Queen Mother looked at Yan Shuirong who was lying unconscious on the ground, her narrow eyes slightly narrowed.

"I have trained you for so long and placed high hopes on you, but in the end you are just a useless waste."

"Yu Fei is just not very obedient, but you are even worse than Yu Fei."

"Fortunately, you are not completely useless."

The Queen Mother slowly shifted her gaze from Yan Shuirong to Xin Hongying.

"It's better to bring the emperor to Weiyang Palace. My Gu didn't go to waste..."

"Emperor, do you want to know why?" The empress dowager suddenly looked at Xin Hongying nervously.

“It’s actually very simple…”

Simple?

Xin Hongying had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. His heart was hanging in his throat and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with endless complexity, and there were tears in them that he could not understand.

"Emperor, do you really think you are my biological child?"

The Queen Mother's long nails, dyed red with cardamom, dug the tip into the flesh of his arm, clasped his wrist, and pulled him closer little by little, giving him a very oppressive feeling.

She stared at him intently, and said word by word, "You are not my own flesh and blood..."

The voice was resounding and filled with inexplicable hatred.

For the first time, the Queen Mother tore off her benevolent mask in front of Xin Hongying. Her expression suddenly turned ferocious as she poured out her hatred towards him. "You...are not!"

"You are the prince I obtained by exchanging a stillborn baby from another concubine for a cat-cat. Are you satisfied?"

Although Xin Hongying had expected this, she still gasped when she heard "no".

He was stunned for a moment, his eyelashes trembling constantly, and a chill ran through him from head to toe, so cold that ice chips fell from his bones and his heart was chilled.

There was no sense of relief in his heart, only endless sadness.

He forced himself to smile ironically.

“It is indeed so!”

"I should have guessed it earlier. There is no mother in the world who doesn't love her own child, unless the child is not her own."

"Who is my...biological mother?"

The Queen Mother took in his painful, conflicted, sad, and unacceptable expression, and a twisted sense of pleasure rose in her heart, making her body and mind feel lighter.

She had already had enough of playing the mother-son role with him.

The Queen Mother covered her mouth with her slender fingers and laughed softly, a tear squeezing out of her smiling eyes.

There was a trace of pain and compassion hidden in her tears, which she did not want to admit, and she deliberately erased the little love she felt she owed him.

"You believed it, hahahaha... Emperor, you believed it."

"So in your heart, you actually know that I'm not as good to you as I appear to be, right..."

White fingers wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiling.

The Queen Mother regained her loving smile and said cruelly.

"Actually, I just lied to you."

"You are my own flesh and blood. No one can change that, not even myself..."

Xin Hongying's pupils contracted violently, and he suddenly felt confused and torn. He could no longer tell which of the Queen Mother's words were true and which were false.

"Hahaha……"

"After you knew that you were not my biological child, did you feel very relieved?"

"You hate me!" Xin Hongying couldn't understand her feelings towards him, but he keenly grasped her hatred for him.

"Why?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes in time and said, "You don't need to know too much."

"Don't think I don't know. You're asking so many questions just to buy time so you can suppress the sub-Gu."

"Aijia, I will not give you this opportunity."

Her eyes flashed, revealing her ferocious fangs. She pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and pierced her fingertips with a deft movement.

A drop of bright red blood appeared on the white fingertips.

It touched Xin Hongying's lips.

Xin Hongying thought to herself that this was not good, but she could do nothing about it.

The Queen Mother's eyes were fanatical.

She wanted to control it herself, looking forward to the Gu King being born in this strongest and most perfect host that she had planned and cultivated for a long time.

The smell of blood rushed up her throat, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of the empress dowager's mouth, winding along the corner of her lips.

“Damn it!”

The white handkerchief wiped away the trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, and the Queen Mother could no longer smile.

No wonder Yan Shuirong fainted on the ground, no wonder the emperor was able to break free from control and talk to her with clear consciousness.

She felt a little embarrassed, and the Queen Mother gave her a vicious look.

"Your Majesty, the Gu Master behind you is truly ruthless! He's even willing to give you such a treasure."

"Aijia, I really didn't expect that it would be someone from the Miaojiang Saint Clan who took action, and he was working for the royal family."

The Queen Mother smiled and spoke in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of dying at their hands?"

Xin Hongying was somewhat relieved that Bai Feng's witchcraft was powerful and reliable. As for what the Queen Mother said, whether he would die at their hands, he still had doubts in his heart.

But now that Bai Feng's Gu has protected him once, Xin Hongying has begun to trust Bai Feng a little.

Xin Hongying no longer called the Queen Mother "Mother", as this title was dead in his heart.

"What are you going to do to me? Is everything you do for Mingzhe?"

The Queen Mother went to great lengths to plant a soul-eating insect in his body, trying to keep him alive, but at the same time, she didn't want him to live. It was already a twisted situation.

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, "You don't need to know."

Not knowing what the Queen Mother did, Xin Hongying finally broke free from the black cloth that covered her five senses, and was covered again under the light. Her consciousness once again returned to the lightless and silent darkness.

The cold and heat in the body fought against each other alternately, and finally Zi Gu won by a narrow margin. The coldness in the body receded like a tide, leaving nothing behind.

The Queen Mother's face was pale. With the help of the nanny, she was able to stand firmly, her fingertips unconsciously digging into the flesh of her arm.

The nanny said nothing and let her arm be pinched.

A pure smile graced the Queen Mother's delicate and gentle face, her chin tilted slightly upwards.

"So what if it's the Saint Clan? In the end, I won. I won."

"I will not be trapped in this small Weiyang Palace. You all just wait for me."

Another place in the palace.

Bai Feng coughed, and suddenly his heart ached, and he fell forward.

He hurriedly held onto the wooden table to avoid falling down immediately.

His pet, the poisonous scorpion, also woke up from its slumber, crawled out, climbed onto his shoulder, and looked into the distance in the direction of the Weiyang Palace.

Bai Feng sat down, his fingers stroking the scorpion's smooth body, and said slowly: "You can feel it too, it's dead."

"Don't be sad, I will definitely avenge it."

Bai Feng sighed softly, "This palace is no longer safe."
