The Queen Mother's expression froze, and in an instant, she understood everything.
Forced to calm herself down, the Queen Mother glared at Qi Xu and said, "Your grandfather valued filial piety the most. Now that you treat your father and me like this, do you still take your grandfather seriously?"
Qi Xu's eyes, which had originally been emotionless, suddenly darkened.
There seemed to be sarcasm in his eyes as he stared at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother had never seen him look like this before, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
Facing Qi Xu's eyes that were staring at her as if he knew everything, she subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Then, as if belatedly, I suddenly noticed something strange.
It seemed that from the moment they met, Qi Xu had never called her "Royal Grandmother".
Instead, she was only called "Empress Dowager".
"you……"
The Queen Mother had just uttered a word when Qi Xu interrupted her, "It is because I care about my royal grandfather and the country he founded that I am here today. The Queen Mother keeps talking about filial piety, but you shouldn't say this to me, but to Qiu Lin Nanxing."
Qiulin Nanxing.
The name is unfamiliar, but the surname sounds very familiar. It is the surname of the northern barbarian tribe. There was once a Chanyu from the Qiulin tribe.
Even if one is slow-witted, one can still hear something strange in these words.
Emperor Xiaoming was surprised and asked with a trembling voice: "What...what does this mean?"
"I haven't had time to tell my father yet.

Emperor Xiao Ming's chest heaved violently and his breathing became rapid, even worse than the Empress Dowager's condition before.
Qi Xu hadn't finished speaking yet.
"I wonder if Father still remembers the little princess who was born at the same time as you, who suffered from congenital deficiency and died before she was three years old?"
Emperor Xiaoming looked dazed. The previous emperor valued the legitimate heir and had few children. In addition, he was young at the time and did not have much impression.
But when Qi Xu mentioned it, I felt like there seemed to be such a person.
"That little princess was the daughter of the Queen Mother. When you were still an infant, you were brought to the Queen Mother because you were healthy and a boy, and you were given the status of a legitimate child. Your biological mother, my grandmother, was Concubine Liu, who died of insanity because of the young death of the little princess."
Qi Xu finished speaking.
There was only fear in Emperor Xiaoming's eyes.
After living for most of his life, he only realized today that he had been living in a shocking scam!
