"Back then? Was there some secret back then?"
Min Huang's heart suddenly hung in the air.
At this moment, his mood was very complicated——
First, he really wanted to know the truth. What exactly happened “back then”?
Second, he was somewhat afraid of knowing the truth. In case the so-called "past" was something he could not bear, he would rather not know it.
Min Huang was conflicted and irritated.
The excitement I had just felt because I had seen through the Queen's thoughts suddenly plummeted.
"Mother, you are embarrassing me by saying that."
Min Huang was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pretend to be a patient and pure filial son.
He said "it's so embarrassing" but there was no indulgence in his eyes.
Even the title changed from the more intimate "Aniang" to the more "respectful" "Amu".
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows:...Oh wow, what did you discover?
Or is Min Huang's filial piety not enough to sustain his patience with Concubine Xie?!
Gu Qingcheng watched the show silently with a hint of concern in her eyes.
Well, I have so many complaints in my heart that I am almost ready to grab a handful of melon seeds.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng did not forget to pay close attention to Min Huang's micro-expressions.
“…When he’s communicating with someone face to face, he can’t help but look at their mouth!”
Gu Qingcheng soon discovered this.
It turns out that Min Huang is not targeting only me. Whenever he communicates with people, no, to be more precise, whenever he communicates with people face to face, he will look at their mouths.
Was this to confirm whether the "sound" he heard came from the mouth?
Gu Qingcheng had guessed it just now, and seeing Min Huang's subconscious micro-movement, she became more certain -
Oh wow, it seems that our emperor’s cheat has arrived.
His cheat is a classic plot that was once written in some ancient novels: the dog emperor can hear people's thoughts.
Yes, everyone in the harem has two faces.
It is very normal to say one thing and do another.
On the surface, everything seems flourishing and harmonious, but the true thoughts of these people can subvert someone's cognition!
Suddenly, Gu Qingcheng thought of the last sentence in the story outline:
"Until one day, Min Huang had a fortuitous encounter, and he realized that the beautiful and harmonious world he believed in had been completely overturned!"
very good!
I guessed it right.
Gu Qingcheng was also very sure that Min Huang had eavesdropped on her "inner thoughts" just now.
"It seems that Min Huang really believes in this cheat!"
Gu Qingcheng deliberately said some "truths" in her heart to maintain her personality, and surprise flashed in Min Huang's eyes.
Did he discover that his seemingly cold queen was actually a foolish woman who admired and cherished him?
"How naive! You actually believed the so-called 'voice of your heart'!"
Gu Qingcheng shook her head secretly.
Regardless of whether this voice is reliable or not, as an emperor, it is normal to be overly thoughtful and suspicious.
How can you easily believe it just because of the so-called "voice of your heart"?
You know, for a powerful official in the government, he has many disguises.
At a certain level, he can even "deceive himself".
If you tell too many lies, even you will believe them.
Voices! Memories! These can all be tampered with.
Gu Qingcheng would not listen to one side of the story blindly. Eyes and ears can deceive people, and so can the heart.
"To embarrass you? Humph, I, an old woman, wouldn't dare!"
Concubine Xie didn't know whether she was too stupid or too confident.
She didn't notice anything abnormal about her son at all.
Or, even if she found out, she wouldn't care - so what if she got angry?
I am his biological mother. Could he possibly kill me?
"Emperor, I ask you again, do you agree or not?"
"A mere position of Empress Dowager, are you so reluctant to give it up?"
Concubine Xie seemed too lazy to pretend to be sick, and she turned over and sat up.
She threw away the handkerchief in her hand and stared at Min Huang with her eyes.
Min Huang: ...What a "mere"! That's the Empress Dowager. It's up to him, the Emperor, to challenge the laws and fight against the Queen Dowager.
He lowered his eyelids and his face was gloomy.
There was no answer, which was an answer in itself - the title of "merely" an empress dowager was not something that could be easily granted.
Concubine Xie: ...I’m so angry!
"Unfilial son! What an unfilial son!"
"I've said all this, but he still won't give in!"
"Could it be that he really wants me to threaten him with death?"
"If I had known, I would have been that person! No, I can't think about what happened back then. That matter is too serious, I have to keep it to myself."
Concubine Xie had a huff on her face and was even angrier in her heart.
All kinds of resentful voices rushed out like a flood that broke through the floodgates.
Min Huang: ...
It’s the same old time again!
What exactly happened back then?
A substitution? A substitution, replacing the real prince or princess?
Perhaps it was because of the adventure today that Min Huang’s thinking process was “upgraded” and he couldn’t help but think too much!
It shouldn’t be that bad.
It’s not that Xie doesn’t dare to think about it, but with her ability, she simply can’t accomplish such a big thing.
As Concubine Xie's biological son, Min Huang is definitely the person who knows her best in the world.
To put it bluntly, as soon as Concubine Xie raised her butt, Min Huang knew—
Ahem, don’t say anything inappropriate!
Don’t say anything indecent.
However, the slap in the face came so quickly!
Just when Min Huang was confident that Concubine Xie was at such a level that it was impossible for her to play tricks on him, he heard two voices at the same time:
