    The Queen Mother has already said this.

    The new emperor will not come out and say a few words.

    There is something really wrong.

    So of course he quickly stood up and responded with his hands raised: "Royal Grandma, I do have this intention.

    "I am afraid that hundreds of officials will obstruct me, and if possible, I would like to directly abandon such cruel things as sacrificial burial, in order to preserve the reputation of the late Emperor's saintliness and benevolence."  "

    The new emperor's directness was obviously beyond the expectations of the Empress Dowager Ci'an. Even the Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the main seat and had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

    After a long time, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head:

    "The Ai family originally thought that you just didn't want to see those concubines buried early and hoped to let them live for a few more years, but they didn't expect that you were so determined and wanted to abolish the burial system directly.

    This matter is really difficult to handle!  "

    If the burial was postponed a little, to the tomb, then she might be able to help, but if it was abolished directly, even she would not be able to say anything, because in the court, some things only need to be established as a routine  after.

    It¡¯s really hard to change.

    Countless officials will stop it on the grounds of ancestral system.

    Unless the changes are beneficial to them.

    For example, a salary increase or something.

    But the matter of burial does not have much to do with them. It is even the Ministry of Rites, the only thing that can control the life and death of others. Therefore, it is difficult to pass the Ministry of Rites alone.

    "Imperial grandmother, I am willing to take responsibility.

    Many of the concubines who have no children in the harem have never seen their father more than once in their lives. The dozen or so people in the Chuxiu Palace have not even seen their father in person yet, so they are allowed to die for their father's burial.  Death, I really can¡¯t bear it!  "

    The new emperor continued to speak hard.

    I hope I can persuade the Empress Dowager.

    The Empress Dowager did not directly respond to the new emperor, but instead asked about other things:

    "If the Ai family remembers correctly, in the past, the ministers of the court would not comment on how the royal family handled the burial matter. Why did they suddenly ask the concubines to be buried immediately this time? Do you know the reason and who took the lead?  "

    Previously, because the matter was none of her business, the Empress Dowager did not investigate the situation. But now that both the Empress Dowager and the new emperor have asked her for help, she naturally needs to know a little bit about what is going on.

    If I can help her, I will definitely do it.

    After all, she has no blood relationship with the new emperor. If she can help a bunch of new emperors at this time, it will also help her to ask the new emperor to take care of her natal family.

    "It was Princess Cheng's brother Jing Guogong who suddenly made such a remark in the court, and many officials echoed it, especially those from the Ministry of Rites. Although I did not agree immediately.

    But he didn¡¯t reject it directly.

    To be honest, I don¡¯t know why Duke Jing Guo did this. No matter how I think about it, I feel that doing so is not good for Duke Jing, nor is it good for Concubine Cheng.  "

    The new emperor was actually a little confused and had no idea why Duke Jing Guo did what he did.

    At this time, we can only tell the general situation truthfully.

    But at this moment, Empress Dowager Ci¡¯an suddenly spoke:

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure what benefits it will bring to Duke Jing Guo, but if this thing is really done, it should be of some benefit to Princess Cheng.

    There¡¯s something I¡¯ve always known.

    Even the late emperor knew about it.

    It¡¯s just that I never said it.

    The sixth prince was not actually born to Concubine Cheng. The sixth prince¡¯s biological mother was from Sumei.  "

    "What?"

    After hearing this, the new emperor was obviously quite surprised. He really didn't know anything about this.

    In contrast, the Empress Dowager seemed much calmer. Although she could not say that she had seen this kind of thing too often, it was really not surprising at all.

    But the question that should be asked still needs to be asked:

    "If the Ai family remembers correctly, wasn't Concubine Cheng also pregnant at that time? Could it be that she was pregnant with a stillborn fetus, or had some other hidden secret?

    And why didn¡¯t the late emperor take care of it?

    Although this is not a matter of confusing the royal bloodline, it is indeed very inappropriate. If a concubine adopts a beauty's child, even if she does it openly.

    No one will say anything.

    Now that everything has been told, you can simply tellPlease tell us clearly the cause and effect. If you don't tell us, I will be troubled and unable to sleep at night.  "

    ¡°At that time, the imperial concubine had not been pregnant for three years after entering the palace.

    Her family and herself were a little worried, so through some private means, they secretly obtained some secret recipes and medicines from outside the palace and brought them into the palace.

    They are all secret recipes to help you get pregnant.

    After taking the medicine like this for two months, Concubine Cheng thought she was pregnant with a fetus. However, at that time, she had no intention of having Sumei's child. She only focused on raising the fetus, hoping to give birth to her own child.

    But after she was three months pregnant.

    She unexpectedly discovered that she was not really pregnant with a dragon fetus. She just had the symptoms of a false pregnancy because of the medication and the constant thought of being pregnant. On the surface, she looked pregnant and her belly was a little bigger.  But she was not actually pregnant and could not give birth to any child.

    Doing so is obviously a crime of deceiving the emperor.

    At the same time, she was not reconciled to being childless.

    So she set her sights on Sumei. While she continued to pretend to be pregnant, she sent people to secretly take care of Sumei to ensure that there would be no problem with Sumei's pregnancy. Half a year later, His Majesty left the palace to escape the summer, and there were less than half a year left.  Yue had to return to the palace, but Concubine Cheng was worried that the matter would be exposed.

    I specially pretended to give birth before His Majesty returned to the palace.

    They also used oxytocin to induce labor among the Sumerians.

    After that, the sixth prince was born.

    Concubine Cheng directly sent someone to tell her that she had given birth to a stillborn fetus, and she was not even shown the body. However, Concubine Cheng did not have a body to show the Sumei people at that time, because she was only falsely pregnant.

    I was not sure whether the Sumei people knew about this before, but the events of the past few days have made me clearly realize that the Sumei people should know that the Sixth Prince is her biological son.

    ¡°Otherwise, it would be impossible to protect the Sixth Prince like that.  "

    Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Ci'an paused.

    Then he continued:

    "You should have felt that since the birth of the Fourteenth Prince, Concubine Cheng's attitude towards the Sixth Prince has become much worse. Those who don't know may think that she just loves the youngest son and is a little harsher on the eldest son who is almost an adult. That's also true.  For his own good.

    But I do know that the main reason for her change in attitude is that the sixth prince is not her biological child, but the fourteenth prince is indeed her biological child, between biological and non-biological.

    It¡¯s normal to have different attitudes.

    Some time ago, when the late emperor had just passed away, Concubine Cheng wanted to secretly attack the sixth prince.

    However, the Sumei people tried their best to stop them.

    Of course, I also helped. After all, if there was some scandal in the palace at this time, it would not be a good thing. However, when I helped, I forgot to cover up Su Meiren, so Su Meiren's behavior was soon discovered by Concubine Cheng.  Later, Duke Jingguo suddenly demanded that all his childless concubines be buried immediately. I don¡¯t know if this was related to it.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
