Chapter 169 Shocking Secret

So when the palace maid reported that the eldest princess had arrived, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then her eyebrows jumped fiercely. It was probably because this disaster had left such a shadow on her, and she felt ominous even when she heard Chu Qinghuang's name.

"Let her come in." The queen mother was lying on the phoenix couch without energy. The two palace maids next to her were kneeling on the ground and tapping her legs, serving her carefully. "Nothing big happened in the palace recently, right?"

Feng Ping stood aside and whispered: "I just learned that something big did happen."

He was just thinking about how to tell the Queen Mother, but unexpectedly Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came.

event?

The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat and she asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Feng Ping came closer and lowered his voice: "The Ling family was ransacked by the eldest princess and her men."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then she sat up in shock: "What did you say?"

She must have heard wrongly. How could such a thing be possible?

Feng Ping was about to repeat it again, but he saw all the palace people kneeling down. He turned around and saw Chu Qinghuang stepping into the palace door, and then knelt down: "See you, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"

The Queen Mother looked at the palace door in surprise.

Sunlight shone in from outside the door, and Chu Qinghuang, who was dressed in a dark red robe, walked into the palace door against the light. His whole body was shrouded in a halo, making it difficult to see his face, and he could only feel a cool and cold breath. It lingered around her, making her heart palpitate for no reason.

The palace was very quiet, so quiet that there was an air of silence.

The Queen Mother just looked at her like she was looking at some man-eating monster.

Chu Qinghuang bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "The Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother suddenly came back to her senses, and with some embarrassment, she retracted her slightly ungrateful gaze, maintaining the dignity that a Queen Mother should have: "Why do you have time to come to Ai's house?"

"I heard a royal secret today, and I felt a little uneasy. I wanted to come over and ask the Queen Mother for advice." Chu Qinghuang said in a calm voice, "If I disturb the Queen Mother's rest, please forgive me."

Royal secrets?

The Queen Mother's expression changed suddenly, and the sudden uneasiness in her heart made her heart beat faster. The thump-dong-dong sound made people think that her heart was about to jump out.

She tried her best to suppress the roiling emotions and tried to stay calm, but her fingertips felt cold.

"Everyone, get out." Chu Qinghuang's eyes were indifferent, "The secrets of the royal family are not just for anyone to hear. Those who don't want to die are best to stay as far away as possible."

The people in the palace were shocked and did not dare to breathe.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and her tone was so stiff that it didn't sound like hers: "Everyone, get out."

"yes."

The palace people retreated in panic as if they had received an amnesty.

Chu Qinghuang walked to the side and sat down on a chair, very close to the Queen Mother, where the Queen usually sat when the concubines came to pay their respects.

"I led the imperial guards to search the Ling family today. I unexpectedly learned about an old incident. I had doubts in my mind, so I came here to ask the Queen Mother." Chu Qinghuang's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard. "The Queen Mother may be able to help I'll answer the question."

The Queen Mother became more and more shocked.

The Ling family was searched?

She actually led people to search the Ling family?

She looked at Chu Qinghuang in disbelief, this madman! He actually didn’t even let his own mother and concubine go?

"The Queen Mother does not need to be so shocked." Chu Qinghuang sat upright on the chair, with an upright posture and a calm demeanor, "I have a reason for checking the Ling family. There is no injustice or enmity. If they don't mess with me, I will I won’t attack them so quickly—”

"You are a lunatic!" the Queen Mother sternly said, "Chu Qinghuang, what is your heart made of? I'm talking about you with a heart of stone! You don't even let go of your own mother and concubine, what kind of heart do you have? ? You are so crazy and unreasonable!"

Chu Qinghuang looked at her silently.

The Queen Mother's breath was uneven, her face was green and white, and she hated this person to the extreme in her heart.

Damn madman.

She thought that she had obtained the clue to Chu Qinghuang, and as long as she had the fatal clue that Chu Tianzheng was not the biological blood of Concubine Duan, it would be enough to make Chu Qinghuang surrender.

In order to keep her title of princess, Chu Qinghuang would definitely be wary of doing things. Unexpectedly, she...she even copied the Ling family directly.

If she is not crazy, who is?

"The Queen Mother looks quite disappointed." Chu Qinghuang frowned, "Doesn't it suit you that the Ling family was raided? Why doesn't the Queen Mother look happy at all?"

She's so happy!

The Queen Mother was furious. As much as she hated Chu Qinghuang, she was in a panic. This panic was entirely caused by the situation that was out of control.

She finally realized that Chu Qinghuang was a complete devil. She was as ruthless as a evil god, impulsive, hard-hearted, and didn't care about anyone at all.

If she doesn't even care about her own mother, who will she care about?

"The Ling family was imprisoned, but Ling An survived and voluntarily confessed a shocking secret." Chu Qinghuang looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes, "He said there was something wrong with my father's bloodline and that he was not the Queen Mother's biological son. "

What? !

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother stood up in shock and denied it uncontrollably. "Confusing the blood of the royal family is a heinous crime. No one has the courage! The emperor is the son of the Ai family, his biological son! Whoever dares to spread rumors should be punished. Cut into pieces with thousands of swords and divided into pieces by five horses!”

Chu Qinghuang nodded slowly: "I think so too, so Ling Ancheng is lying."

The Queen Mother's heart was beating violently. She looked at Chu Qinghuang coldly, and there was still some uneasiness in her eyes that she didn't know about. Compared with Chu Qinghuang's calmness at this time, the Queen Mother's loss of control further highlighted her failure.

"Since my father is of royal blood, I am relieved." Chu Qinghuang said slowly, "I originally thought that my father's blood was impure, and someone might use this as an excuse to create chaos or something. Since Ling Ancheng made up a rumor, I just pretended that I had never heard of it."

Paused, "As for what the Queen Mother said last time, about Chu Tianzheng's background, I want to know the truth."
