"They are confusing my origins and making me look like a bastard of unknown descent. Even without solid evidence, this is enough to dethrone me."
"And the Queen Mother can, by virtue of her status as the late emperor's legitimate wife, 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 particularly 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 aside.
Well, Min Huang will take action!
Of course, Gu Qingcheng wouldn't just sit and wait.
In this matter, Queen Gu and Min Huang have the same interests.
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 expelled from 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 in what Concubine Xie said.
She deliberately glanced at Gu Qingcheng, her meaning was very clear -
Concubine Xie liked a strange peasant girl, but she felt very 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-natured" person 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 anything wrong 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 even realize that what she had just said might make Min Huang think too much -
Why do you like it just by looking at it?
Is it because of blood relationship?
Are Concubine Xie and Wen Nuan Nuan actually related? Is that why they fell in love so much the first time they met?
A man who is obviously vain and mean, yet he is so fond of a commoner girl of low birth;
The other one ignored the danger and decisively stopped the frightened horse!
If they were a legitimate mother and daughter, perhaps—
"No! I can't let my imagination run wild!"
"Impossible! I am Mother's biological son. This is what Mother herself said in her heart!"
Min Huang realized that his condition was not right and hurried to stop it in time.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't 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 those imperial guards, the imperial doctors coming in and out...
As long as you want, you can always find the right person.
As for Min Huang’s appearance, it’s not safe either - so what if he looks like Emperor Gao?
Emperor Gao did not have only one son, the late emperor.
For example, the King of Qi in the capital was the late emperor’s half-brother, 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, King 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 King Qi, well, 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 commoner 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..."
