Chu Nian continued, "He made this choice because he favors you more, and naturally, he also favors your daughter, Liu Ying. Perhaps this is why the previous Fox Emperor did not pass on the entire Imperial Seal to you."
Bai Jiuxiao, his face pale, asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Chu Nian asked in bewilderment, “What I find strange is that you were born to Hu Tiantian, not the Fox Queen. Why is it that it seems the fox people only found out about this today?” As she spoke, she looked at Hu Lin, the left-wing elder.
Hu Lin quickly said, "That's right. We always thought that Jiu Xiao was born to the previous Fox Queen. Moreover, as far as we know, the Fox Emperor only has one bloodline, Jiu Xiao."
Chu Nian asked again, puzzled, "How could the Fox Queen be willing to let her husband cheat on her, and even take back the child he had with another female fox and raise it as her own? She's too magnanimous!"
After recalling, Hu Lin said with some puzzlement, "I remember that the Fox Queen was indeed pregnant at the time, and later gave birth to a princess, Jiu Xiao."
Chu Nian glared at Hu Tiantian and said, "Tell me what happened back then."
Hu Tiantian roared, "I don't know anything, how am I supposed to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Nian raised her hand and waved at her. Her voice immediately lowered, and she changed her words, saying, "Back then, when I gave birth to Xiao'er, the Fox Emperor refused to let her acknowledge her ancestors."
At that time, the Fox Queen had just given birth to a female fox. I noticed that the child looked very much like my xiao, so I secretly switched them. Because the two children looked so alike, even the Fox Emperor didn't notice that the children had been switched. Whether the Fox Emperor admits it or not, in the end, it was my child who became the Empress. Haha...haha..."
Chu Nian said coldly, "In fact, the Fox Emperor eventually discovered that Bai Jiuxiao was not born to the Fox Queen. Otherwise, why would he have concealed so many uses of the Imperial Seal from her?"
The Master of Nanhua pressed on urgently, "Where is the Fox Queen's child?"
Hu Tiantian chuckled several times and said, "If that woman's child lives, she will become a stumbling block to my Xiao'er's ascension to the throne. Now that she is in my hands, how can I let her live?"
After I got her, I killed her by throwing her to the ground. That way, even if the Fox Emperor eventually discovered that the Fox Queen was holding my child, he would have no choice but to accept it for the sake of the entire Fox Clan.
Master Nanhua cried out in grief, "How could you be so cruel, woman?"
"Me, vicious?" Hu Tiantian laughed when she heard this. "Even if I'm vicious, can I be as vicious as the Fox Emperor? Do you think I could have given birth to this child on my own?"
He and I had a secret rendezvous many times before Xiao'er was born. I just wanted this child to be recognized by his family, even if he was fostered by another member of the royal family. I would accept him even if he wasn't his child. But he wouldn't accept him!
My child is clearly of royal blood, and she could clearly cultivate those powerful royal techniques, so why must she be forced to serve as a lowly servant under me, an ordinary red fox?
She looked at Chu Nian and said, "You're right. The Fox Emperor has actually discovered that Xiao'er is not the Fox Queen's child. Not only did he discover it, but the Fox Queen also discovered it. I've always wondered how the Fox Queen knew that Xiao'er wasn't her child, but now it seems..." She looked at the imperial seal in Chu Nian's hand, "...it's most likely this imperial seal."
Master Nanhua asked in surprise, "You mean, the Fox Queen also knows that Bai Jiuxiao is not her child?"
Hu Tiantian sneered, "Yes, otherwise why would she come to me to argue? She even said she wanted to expose the truth that Bai Jiuxiao was not her son. But the Fox Emperor only has our Xiao'er as his bloodline. If something happens to Xiao'er, who will inherit his throne? So, no matter what, he must keep this secret and will never allow Xiao'er's background to be revealed."
Chu Nian: "Now that the Fox Queen knows that Bai Jiuxiao is not her biological son, how could she possibly swallow this insult? Her own child was killed by you."
Hu Tiantian: "Yeah, so what if she can't swallow this insult? Can she beat the Fox Emperor? No, she can't. In the end, the Fox Emperor smashed her head with one palm."
These words shocked everyone present.
Hu Lin exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible? The Fox Emperor and Fox Queen have always been loving..."
Upon hearing this, Hu Tiantian laughed heartily again, saying, "Affectionate? Not bad. But that's how outsiders see it. Perhaps the Fox Queen thought so too before she learned that her child had been killed by her husband's mistress."
The Fox Emperor is, after all, the Fox Emperor; everything he does must be based on the greater good of the Fox Clan. He married the Fox Queen for the sake of the Fox Clan's stability; and his loving relationship with her is also, of course, for the sake of the Fox Clan's stability.
He wouldn't let my child be recognized by the family clan because he feared the Fox Queen would find out he had a lover outside, affecting their relationship and thus the relationship between the royal family and the Fox Queen's Tushan clan.
Master Nanhua said in a trembling voice, "The Fox Queen was killed by the Fox Emperor, so how could the Tushan Clan have been kept in the dark all this time?"
Hu Lin said, "I remember that the Tu Shan clan personally came to examine the body and confirmed that it was King Yingye who killed him. So, when the Fox Emperor made his move, he deliberately imitated the methods of King Yingye, the Fox clan's formidable enemy?"
Hu Tiantian said, "Yes, since the Fox Emperor is considering the entire Fox Clan, of course he won't let this kind of thing be exposed."
He not only imitated the Eagle King's method to kill the Fox Queen, but also used the same method to deliver a fatal blow to himself, so that no one would doubt the cause of the Fox Queen's death.
Most importantly, King Yingye did indeed enter the Qingqiu barrier before the two of them were attacked…
Yin Shanjun frowned and said, "The Fox Emperor was able to imitate the Eagle King's methods so well that the entire Tushan Clan couldn't detect it?"
Hu Tiantian: "Of course not. But in order to ensure the eternal prosperity of the fox clan, the Fox Emperor and Fox Queen cast a spell during their wedding, sacrificing their powerful fox bodies after death. These fox bodies would then dissipate into the heavens within a short time, and their energy would spread throughout Qingqiu. So at that time, the Tushan clan members only briefly examined the Fox Queen's body."
Chu Nian: "Actually, before this happened, King Eagle Wild had already been killed by the Fox Emperor using the Imperial Seal to control the Qingqiu barrier. Unfortunately, only the person who inherits the Imperial Seal can know about this."
How could Bai Jiuxiao possibly make this public after taking over the Imperial Seal? As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Jiuxiao with a mocking expression.
Hu Tiantian bit her lip and said, "I killed the Fox Queen's child, and the relationship between the Fox Emperor and the Fox Queen broke down because of me. In fact, they died mostly because they found out that Xiao'er was my child. All these sins were caused by me alone and have nothing to do with Xiao'er."
Master Nanhua angrily rebuked, "The child is innocent. As a mother yourself, how can you be so cruel to a newborn baby?" As he spoke, he was about to strike Hu Tiantian to death.
