Chapter 240 We Did Not Have a Dynasty in Ancient Times
Upon hearing Chaochao's words, Emperor Jingxuan, who was sitting in a carriage on his way back to the palace, suddenly looked up.

The surrounding officials also held their breath and stared intently at the sky.

Did A-Shan say that? Did it tell Chao-Chao about the Great Qi?

Wouldn't that mean the He family would all have to know that their daily lives were being watched by the Daqi people?

Emperor Jingxuan suddenly became a little nervous, "If the He family finds out about the Great Qi Dynasty, will they mention me? What will posterity say about me? I..."

How long did he live? What were his descendants like? How many years did the Great Qi Dynasty last? And who destroyed it?
Emperor Jingxuan had too many questions in his heart. Ever since he learned that the world shown in the sky was the world of the future, he had been eager to learn about his future from them, but he was also afraid to know, and his heart was always hanging in suspense.

Fortunately, there were so many things displayed in the sky that he was constantly busy. Being busy for the sake of the Great Qi made him feel a little more at ease.

After all, he was earnestly working for the people. Even if later generations didn't think he was a wise ruler, they wouldn't call him a foolish one, would they?
Now, do you finally know?

Not only him, but many officials present also wanted to know.

Everyone wants to leave their mark on history, even just a word or two, especially those who hold high positions of power.

So almost everyone looked at the sky with anticipation, wanting to hear what they would say next.

After saying that, Chaochao asked in confusion, "Mom, people from Daqi? Who are they?"

The He family members looked at each other, their brows slowly furrowing.

Song Zhen felt a chill run down her spine. She looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Can everyone in Daqi see Chaochao? Yes, is there something around us?"

The thought of some sinister force watching them from the shadows made Song Zhen feel terrible.

She held Chaochao in her arms and examined her complexion. "Chaochao, is anything bothering you?"

Chaochao shook her head blankly, "No."

Song Zhen looked up at the others and said, "What should we do? Could there really be something evil following Chaochao? Oh dear, how could Ah Shan leave such a big bug for Chaochao?"

The Great Qiren, who was called a "dirty thing," "..."

Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that his lips trembled. "What are you saying? Does she mean I'm a ghost?"

The ministers standing nearby were speechless.

Your Majesty, in a sense, to future generations, we are indeed gone, aren't we... ghosts?
Emperor Jingxuan had a headache. "This Mrs. Song is really not very bright. Is it so hard to understand the phrase 'people of the Great Qi'? Can't she even figure that out?"

Ministers, "..." Your Majesty, of the two situations, 'being watched by ancient people' and 'being watched by ghosts', 'being watched by ghosts' seems to be easier to associate with.

Fortunately, Jian Yunsang quickly realized something was wrong. "Mom, don't worry." She squatted down, took Chaochao's hand, and asked softly, "What else did Ashan say? Try to tell us what it said after you turned it on."

Chaochao nodded quickly. Although Ashan spoke intermittently, she could still remember it and repeated it from beginning to end.

Jian Yunsang was taken aback. "That's what A-Shan said?"

Song Zhen looked up blankly. "What does that mean? It didn't say anything about what the people of Daqi are."

He Nanzhou's expression was grave. "No, it said that when Chaochao left Shangliu Village, it left behind a major bug. Judging from this, it's related to Shangliu Village, and... related to ancient times?"

Song Zhen was somewhat incredulous. "You, you mean, the people of Daqi, you mean, the people of ancient times?" "Daqi, should be... the Qi Dynasty?" He Pu asked uncertainly.

Song Zhen was even more shocked, "But, but we didn't have a Qi Dynasty in ancient times."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan and the others, who had been excitedly anticipating the He family's reaction, were dumbfounded.

What do you mean?
What do you mean by "no Qi Dynasty"?!
How could such a large dynasty, with a population of two hundred million, just disappear? How could it possibly disappear?

Didn't the He family mention the Tang Dynasty before? They also mentioned the Han Dynasty. Now that we've reached the Qi Dynasty, isn't it only natural?

Calm down, calm down. You must have misheard. There might be some misunderstanding.

To hear and see more clearly, Emperor Jingxuan stopped the carriage and leaned out of the window to look at the sky.

The vast street seemed to have been put on pause.

The carriage stopped, the accompanying procession halted, the officials all looked up, and even the common people along the street stared at the sky with strange expressions.

Chaochao looked up at Song Zhen, then at Jian Yunsang, and then at the other three, asking in confusion, "What Qichao?"

The He family remained silent for a long while, their faces showing undisguised astonishment, feeling that the guess was really outrageous.

"So, the ancient times that Chaochao travels to are not the ancient times we know, but rather, fictional dynasties?"

Song Zhen swallowed hard. "It's...maybe not. Could it be that we misheard, or that it's a word with a similar tone?"

She thought for a moment and guessed, "That's also possible. It could be a dynasty with a very low profile and a short lifespan, like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Didn't emperors and dynasties change very frequently back then? Was there a Qi Dynasty in the middle, but it disappeared very quickly?"

Emperor Jingxuan, “…” I’m going to get you. You’ve been replaced very frequently and you’ve only existed for a very short time.

Their Great Qi has existed for over a hundred years now. Can the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms compare to their Great Qi? They are a unified country, completely different from those fragmented and separatist regimes.

However, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Yes, with Mrs. Song's knowledge and learning, how could she not know about a dynasty that had existed for over a hundred years?

They even guessed the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, so why didn't they guess the Great Qi Dynasty?
But the dynasties before them that led to the Great Qi Dynasty included the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Isn't that the same as what they mentioned?

What went wrong?

Emperor Jingxuan felt as if his entire Daqi dynasty, the entire court, and all the people had been rejected, which suddenly made him feel somewhat lost.

Not only him, but the other ministers were also inexplicably panicked.

They had an unreal feeling, as if they didn't exist in this world.

They hoped that future generations would change their tune and retract their previous statements.

However, He Pu shook his head and said to Song Zhen, "There was indeed no Great Qi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. As for whether there are similar words in other dynasties, you can recite the dynasty song and you will know whether there are any."

Song Zhenzhen murmured, "Huang Yao Shun Yu Xia Shang Zhou, Spring and Autumn Qin Han Three Kingdoms. From the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, then the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Song Liao Jin, Yuan Ming Qing Later dynasties."
