Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

When the queen heard this, she showed a strange smile, and then she magically pulled out the third edict.

This edict was for the concubines to accompany the emperor in the imperial mausoleum.

To put it simply, any concubine who did not give birth to a child would be buried by the emperor.

No one knows the number of concubines in the harem better than Jiang Ning.

In the past two years, she had been wandering around the harem in her free time, and met many low-level concubines that even the emperor had never seen before, including the queen. There were three hundred and fifty-seven concubines with names and positions in the harem. indivual.

Jiang Ning calculated with a gossip heart that among the 357 concubines, there were only seven or eight high-level concubines who had given birth to children. In addition to a dozen or so favored concubines, dozens of them were old and lustful and no longer slept with them. Yes, hundreds of people who only went to bed once or twice before being forgotten.

There are also one or two hundred people who have never seen the emperor since they entered the palace, and they are living in the harem just to make ends meet.

Facts have proved that after entering the palace, most women just want to eat, dress and live their lives, and do not want to engage in so many conspiracies.

Except for a few who have family background, good looks, ambition and heirs who can still compete, there is no point in doing these things for others.

Many concubines have been in the palace for many years and have never even seen the emperor's shadow. Now when the emperor dies, they must be buried with him?

That's outrageous.

Jiang Ning believed that even if the emperor was confused before his death, he would not have made such a decision.

He only wanted three concubines, Yafei Zhu and Ye Zhaoyi. As for why there were only three of them, it was simply because all three of them were similar to Concubine Jin.

Obviously, the third posthumous edict in the Queen's hands is even more nonsense.

After the emperor died, the queen had Prince Zhao as her legitimate son, but many people did not expect that she would be so unscrupulous and vicious.

Faintly, one could hear crying coming from Feishuang Palace.

Those who could enter Feishuang Palace were all high-ranking concubines whose names could be counted. The Queen directly placed them all under house arrest in Feishuang Palace.

There are five to six thousand Jinyi guards in Chang'an City, and all of them are not weak in martial arts. The prince's Jinwu Guards numbered no more than a thousand, and most of them were scattered outside the palace. It was almost impossible to confront the Jinyi Guards head-on.

More and more princes and ministers gathered here.

When they heard about the three edicts left by the emperor, except for some who had already taken refuge with King Zhao, they were all delighted, while the rest showed disbelief and astonishment.

Li Hongyuan turned around and found that Jiang Ning had sneaked away during the chaos.

Jiang Ruobai sighed, and said to the queen and all the officials: "Since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, concubines have never been buried! I am afraid that this edict in the hands of the queen will not convince the public."

He is the chief minister of the cabinet. He has always spoken in the court and has great prestige. When he opens his mouth, the ministers all nod in agreement.

The queen sneered and said condescendingly: "You are unwilling to obey the emperor's edict, so I can only arrest you all in the name of treason. Who is here——"

Jin Yiwei responded loudly.

The queen raised her chin, with a confident and victorious light flashing in her eyes: "Take the deposed crown prince Li Hongyuan, the deposed crown princess Jiang Ning and Jiang Ruobai and their party into the Zhenfu Si Chao Prison!"

Anyone who agreed with Jiang Ruobai was labeled as a Jiang Party member.

"Who among you dares?"

Li Hongyuan spoke quietly and raised a light yellow scroll in his hand, "I also have my father's imperial edict in my hand. It's better for all the ministers to distinguish the authenticity from the false."
