The skeleton that was replaced belonged to a confidante of Emperor Hui's biological mother. When Emperor Hui was a child, this Consort Tai treated him exceptionally well.
Emperor Hui wanted to replace Empress Dowager Wei's remains in the late emperor's tomb so that she could be buried with her biological parents.
As for Empress Dowager Wei's remains, they certainly won't be sent to a good place. You must know, His Majesty's biological mother was the late Emperor's first empress.

Empress Dowager Wei initially had a biological son, and at that time she used all sorts of methods to almost kill Emperor Hui, who was still the crown prince. It wasn't until her biological son died that she had no choice but to support Emperor Hui to ascend the throne.
It would be a miracle if Emperor Hui allowed Empress Dowager Wei to be buried with the late emperor.

We have no other choice!
Xie Zhaozhao understood that from the moment they entered the secret passage, they had no way out.
