Chapter 796 The Emperor is Cheating (Thirty-Four)
This person's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Concubine Xie.
If the age mismatch hadn't happened, Gu Qingcheng would have suspected that this farm girl named Wen Nuan was Concubine Xie's biological daughter.
etc!
Age mismatch? Not necessarily! Min Huang is twenty years old this year, and the girl in front of him looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, some people just look young and appear to be several years younger than their actual age.
As for Min Huang, he grew up in the palace and is now the emperor. For the sake of so-called majesty, he pretends to be mature.
He also looked older.
In fact, Princess Changyi, who is about the same age as Min Huang, still looks innocent and naive.
If it is handled well and the "evidence" is solid, no matter how outrageous it seems, it can become an ironclad fact.
Gu Qingcheng already suspected that there was something fishy about Wen Nuannuan's origins, and when she saw her appearance, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
She had already wondered whether this person was deliberately arranged by the Queen Mother.
As for why Queen Mother Wang would create such a person who looked similar to Concubine Xie, the first reason that Gu Qingcheng thought of was that Queen Mother Wang wanted to use this woman to get close to Concubine Xie and then carry out a series of conspiracies.
But soon, an idea flashed in Gu Qingcheng's mind, and she thought of Min Huang's "abnormality".
He seemed to have discovered some important secret from Concubine Xie (or Queen Mother Wang), and in order to investigate it thoroughly, he did not hesitate to activate the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Could it be——
As an ancient native who has completed many tasks and lived in many modern small worlds, Gu Qingcheng is familiar with dramas such as "The Substitute Prince for a Cat" and "True or False Dragon and Phoenix".
What is the plum blossom brand, what is the real and fake gold.
All the melodramatic scenes from palace fights and house fights instantly flooded into Gu Qingcheng's mind.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Min Huang, then at Wen Nuan, and finally her gaze fell on Concubine Xie’s still charming face——
To be honest, Wen Nuannuan looks more like Concubine Xie than Min Huang.
And Min Huang looks neither like Concubine Xie nor like the late emperor.
"Your Majesty actually looks a bit like Emperor Gao."
It was still Mr. Gu, as a veteran of three dynasties, who assisted three generations of emperors of the Min family.
He once said this to Queen Gu in private.
The Emperor Gao mentioned by Mr. Gu was the founding emperor of the Dajing Dynasty and Min Huang’s biological grandfather.
It has been over thirty years since his death, and many young people (including Min Huang) have never seen this great man in person.
Emperor Gao and adult Min Huang have never appeared in the same frame, so many people don’t think of Emperor Gao when they see Min Huang for the first time.
Even the late emperor seemed a little dazed when he saw the thirteen-year-old Min Huang.
I always feel that this son who I have ignored for more than ten years looks familiar. After thinking about it again and again, I remembered: This son actually looks a bit like his father! The late emperor finally agreed to let the queen record Min Huang under her name and canonize him as the crown prince. There may be reasons for this -
Emperor Gao was the founder of the Min Dynasty. He was a sage king with both civil and military achievements.
The late emperor himself admired and respected Emperor Gao. He knew that he could not compare to him, but if his son could accomplish great things that surpassed his ancestor, it would also be considered his contribution.
Of course, only the late emperor himself knew what he was thinking.
But younger people have no idea of Min Huang's appearance.
Unless you are like Queen Gu, who has an elderly and virtuous ancestor in her family.
Gu Qingcheng inherited everything from Queen Gu, so naturally she knew all this.
Gu Qingcheng's brain reacted very quickly. It only took her about ten seconds to say all that.
Gu Qingcheng even came up with a plan at the first moment.
She began to perform in "Zone Two of the Heart"——
[Hiss! This woman actually looks a bit like my mother! ]
[This shouldn't be a coincidence.]
[Ci'en Temple! Queen Mother! Wild boar charge! A peasant girl suddenly appeared to collect herbs? Putting all these together, I vaguely smell the smell of conspiracy.]
[Queen Mother, has she finally lost control and is ready to attack Mother? ]
Gu Qingcheng's thoughts were naturally captured accurately by Min Huang.
In fact, Min Huang also noticed Wen Nuannuan’s appearance problem, and he questioned it at the first time.
He may not have grown up yet, but he is the male protagonist after all, and a superior who has been a puppet emperor for three years.
The current Min Huang is just not mature enough and not sophisticated enough, but he has all the suspicions that an emperor should have! And Gu Qingcheng's "voice" further helps Min Huang to enrich the details.
What's worse, Min Huang has a cheat, and he himself once doubted his own life experience.
Now that a woman who looks very much like his mother has appeared, the doubts in Min Huang's heart that had just been suppressed have resurfaced.
"Am I my mother's son?"
"Why does this commoner girl look more like my mother than I do?"
"Also, as the Queen suspected, is this woman somehow connected to the Queen Mother?"
If it was really the Queen Mother who planned all this, who was her target? It should not be just a simple desire to teach Concubine Xie a lesson.
The Queen Mother is not Concubine Xie. She is not a fool who harms others and does not benefit herself.
The Queen Mother is a very mature politician, and every move she makes is meaningful.
"What if, I mean what if, the appearance of this woman can shake my foundation?"
The woman's face is living evidence!
Even if Min Huang believed that he was the son of Concubine Xie, what about the officials inside and outside the palace?
As long as his identity is in doubt, he will not be able to continue sitting on the dragon throne!
"Confusing my origins and making me a bastard with unknown bloodline is enough to pull me off the throne even without solid evidence."
"And the Queen Mother can use her status as the legitimate wife of the late emperor to choose one of the other little princes to be the emperor!"
"The younger the better. This way, the Queen Mother's regency will last longer!"
“…”
If you think this way, many things will make sense and be especially reasonable! "So, the root of everything is still 'back then'!"
Min Huang clenched his fists tightly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
After Gu Qingcheng lit the fire, she quickly moved to the side.
Well, Min Huang will take action! Of course, Gu Qingcheng will not sit and wait.
In this matter, Queen Gu and Min Huang have the same interests.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If Min Huang were really questioned about his background, not only would he suffer, but Queen Gu Qingcheng would also be implicated.
Haha, the emperor is a bastard, a Westerner.
That would only make the queen more embarrassed.
Gu Qingcheng must ensure that there is no problem with Min Huang's background. He may not be able to sit firmly on the throne, but he must not be driven out of the palace because of such a principled issue as his bloodline.
Otherwise, Gu Qingcheng would have to take a more difficult and longer path.
Min Huang is Gu Qingcheng's shortcut to success, he is still useful!
This supreme couple each has their own thoughts and plans.
Concubine Xie was actually the simplest and most straightforward one at the scene.
"Nuannuan, you are so considerate!"
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I feel happy just looking at you!"
There really wasn't any profound meaning behind Concubine Xie's words.
She deliberately glanced at Gu Qingcheng, her meaning was very clear -
Concubine Xie liked the strange farm girl, but she felt disgusted with her daughter-in-law, Queen Gu.
You can't win the favor of your mother-in-law, and you are outdone by an outsider of humble origin. Gu, oh Gu, aren't you ashamed? Gu Qingcheng: ...Alas, such a "true nature" is really rare in this complicated harem.
At this point, my cheap mother-in-law did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Gu Qingcheng even suspected that Concubine Xie herself did not notice the problem with Wen Nuannuan's appearance.
Why does Concubine Xie think Wen Nuan Nuan looks kind and why does she like her the moment she sees her?
Isn’t it because the other person looks like you?
Tsk tsk, after all, Concubine Xie is still "narcissistic".
Concubine Xie didn't realize that what she just said might make Min Huang think too much -
Why do I like it just by looking at it? Is it because of blood relationship?
Concubine Xie and Wen Nuan Nuan are actually related by blood? That's why they fell in love so much the first time they met? One is obviously vain and mean, but he loves a commoner girl so much; the other one, regardless of danger, decisively stopped the frightened horse! If they were legitimate mother and daughter, perhaps -
"No! I can't let my imagination run wild!"
"Impossible! I am your biological son. This is what your mother said in her heart!"
Min Huang realized that his condition was not right and hurried to stop it in time.
Gu Qingcheng was unable to grasp Min Huang's thoughts, otherwise, she would have added maliciously: "Even if it's Concubine Xie's biological child, it's not necessarily safe."
"What if your biological father is not the late emperor?"
After all, Concubine Xie became pregnant after only receiving the emperor's favor once. It can be said that she was lucky, but it can also be said that she "cheated."
Generally speaking, there are no outsiders in the harem.
But, it’s not absolute!
The late emperor’s brothers would occasionally come in and out of the palace.
And the imperial guards, the doctors coming in and out...
As long as you want, you can always find the right person.
As for Min Huang’s appearance, it was not safe either – so what if he looked like Emperor Gao?
Emperor Gao had more than just the late emperor as his son.
For example, the King of Qi in the capital is the late emperor’s younger brother from the same mother, and was entrusted with the care of his son by the late emperor before his death.
When Min Huang ascended the throne, the King of Qi and several ministers of state assisted him with all their might.
When Min Huang and the Queen Mother were fighting for power in the court, the King of Qi also stood firmly on Min Huang's side.
If there were no "identity doubts", all the actions of the King of Qi could be regarded as adhering to the instructions of the late emperor and doing his utmost to protect his own nephew.
But once Min Huang's biological father is related to the King of Qi, then it's hard to explain! Perhaps when the Queen Mother made the plan, she was killing two birds with one stone.
Min Huang, Queen Gu and Prince Qi... were all captured!
The introduction was just a little girl and a stupid thing done by Concubine Xie "back then"! ...
Ci'en Temple, main hall.
The blessing ceremony is still going on.
The Queen Mother knelt on the cushion, with her hands clasped together, her eyes slightly closed, and muttered something.
"The curtain has been raised. What follows will be even more exciting and intense..."
