Qiulin Nanxing was well aware of the Chanyu's tyranny and his finality.
Wasn't it because he had known the Chanyu's temper for so many years that he had occupied a position beside him as a person of a different surname?
Although he didn't know why the Chanyu was angry with him, there was no benefit in going against the Chanyu at this time. He had to calm down the Chanyu's anger first!
Facing the Chanyu's questioning, Qiulin Nanxing shrank back at the right moment, and then said with a mixture of grievance and fear, "I secretly increased the dosage of the test drug in order to win your favor and deceive you... I am guilty."
Qiulin Nanxing said this sincerely, he knew that the Chanyu didn't like others playing tricks in front of him. But this level of trickery was within the acceptable range, and the Chanyu was even happy to see others playing tricks to please him.
Qiulin Nanxing did not hide his intelligence, but he used all his intelligence to show off in front of the Chanyu and please him, and the Chanyu was always happy to see this happen.
Qiu Linnanxing is very clear about his position.
The Chanyu doted on him like a master does on a clever pet.
This time, he tested the medicine on himself in order to make this love more real. Even if it could only add a little more sincerity, it would be of great benefit to his future plans.
Now looking at Shanyu’s reaction...it seems like he messed up.
The Chanyu's questioning was obviously a trick to deceive him.
Not knowing which link had gone wrong, Qiu Linnanxing had no choice but to accept the one that would cause the least harm to him.
After hearing his words, the Chanyu still had a sneer on his face, "It seems that you won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit."
"Someone, bring the food up." The Chanyu waved his hand, and immediately a waiter came forward with a tray.
Seeing the tokens, jade plaques and scraps of paper that had not been completely burned and still had words on them on the tray, Qiu Linnanxing's heart sank.
The jade token and the token were clearly not in his hands.
Someone framed him!
But he couldn't deny it. As long as there were those unburned pieces of letter paper, even if he flatly denied that these two things were his, the Chanyu would not believe him.
On the contrary, because of his quibbling, they would dislike him even more...
In just a short moment, Qiu Linnanxing's mind had turned several times, thinking about how to behave in a way that would be more powerful to himself.
With a bitter smile, he said, "Foster father, there is something I have never dared to tell you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the waiters around him.
The Chanyu raised his hand, and they immediately retreated from the house.
Qiulin Nanxing secretly thought that he had made the right bet. The Chanyu still retained some "kindness" as an elder towards him. As long as he showed weakness and indicated that there was a reason for what happened, the Chanyu would still be willing to give him a chance to explain.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it now." The Chanyu's scrutinizing gaze fell on Qiulin Nanxing.
Qiu Linnanxing became more and more certain of his guess. As long as he performed well next time, he would be able to turn the tide.
"These two things came from Dayong. These letters also came from Dayong..."
Qiu Linnanxing lowered his eyes, swallowed hard, and said in a dry voice: "...It was written by the Queen Mother of Dayong herself."
As expected, a gleam of light flashed in the Chanyu's eyes.
Qiulin Nanxing knelt more upright, raised his head slightly to take a look at the Chanyu's expression, and said with a wry smile: "Adoptive father, so my identity is..."
"My father is actually the biological son of Queen Dowager Dayong."
"The Queen Mother of Dayong is old, and she feels guilty for my father who passed away young. She has contacted me many times, hoping to make up for her guilt on me."
This explanation is 70% true and 30% false.
Qiulin Nanxing guessed that Chanyu might have had doubts about his identity over the years.
If he had no suspicion at all, he would not have married his half sister to the declining Qiulin tribe, and he would not have kept a junior like him, who did not have any of the bravery of the northern barbarians, by his side.
When doing all this, Chanyu might have thought that he could make use of this identity one day.
"When did you know these things?" The Chanyu's voice was still cold.
Qiu Linnanxing avoided his scrutinizing gaze and whispered in a panic, "It was last year when King Mo died in the Great Yong Desert State and I escaped from the Great Yong."
"That time my whereabouts were exposed, and I was almost left behind in Dayong. Thanks to the help of the people sent by the Queen Mother of Dayong, I was able to return to Beiman smoothly. It was at that time that I learned about what happened that year from the Queen Mother's subordinates."
"Raise your head." Chanyu ordered coldly.
The fingers, like iron clamps, directly pinched Qiu Linnanxing's chin, forcing him to raise his head and look directly into his eyes.
After a while, he let go of her hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and threatened: "You know the consequences of deceiving this king."
"Nanxing dare not." Qiulin Nanxing lowered his head again and knelt straight and respectfully.
"Get up." Shanyu finally retracted the murderous intent in his eyes, and acted graciously like the foster father who once took good care of Master Nanxing.
"You grew up under my lap, and I treat you just like my own princes."
"Don't let this king feel disappointed."
"Nanxing knows." Qiulin Nanxing said, bowing respectfully to the Chanyu, "Nanxing dare not deceive his adoptive father again."
"Okay, you stay here and take good care of yourself. Tomorrow, follow me to Lingmen Pass to meet your grandmother's other grandson."
After the Chanyu finished speaking, he ordered the servants to take Qiulin Nanxing to the side hall. As for the people who had originally served Qiulin Nanxing, they were all isolated outside this palace.
After the people left, the kind and gentle expression on the Chanyu's face disappeared.
He just gave the order in a cold voice, "Check the people around Qiulin Nanxing."
From beginning to end, he did not mention the matter of the second prince, but this did not mean that he thought the matter had nothing to do with Qiu Linnanxing.
He didn't believe a word of what he had just said. Only solid evidence could prove whether Qiu Linnanxing was innocent.
But whether innocent or not is not that important.
The second prince who lost one hand is useless. Since Qiulin Nanxing is valued by Queen Mother Dayong, he is still useful, so let's save his life for now.
Separated by a wall, each with their own thoughts.
He was sent to a side hall, where the heavy door was closed, blocking out all sounds from outside.
Qiulin Nanxing sat cross-legged on the bed, reviewing every word and expression that Shanyu had said since he woke up today.
His expression became increasingly solemn.
Due to the relationship between himself and the Queen Mother, the Chanyu maintained his outward appearance for the time being, but he had already developed the intention to kill.
Once he loses his usefulness, the Chanyu will take action.
We can't delay this any longer.
He has to strike first!
