Chapter 498: Sharing the same coffin and grave

An Yunxi was puzzled: "But you are not comfortable in the palace, or who bullied you?"

After all, Hu Lier had no identity or background, and the identity she had created had no real effect. It would be normal for her to be excluded in the palace.

Since she brought someone to the palace, she had to take responsibility.

Hu Lier immediately shook her head. She smiled and looked around, with stars in her eyes.

"The sisters in the palace treat me very well, and no one bullies me."

"If that's the case, why do you want to leave?"

Hu Lier touched her belly, she lowered her eyes, and her eyes were full of complex colors.

Now, she is the only one left in the family, and the child in her belly is her only blood relative in this life.

"I know the princess is a good person, and she helped me get revenge. I am very grateful to her, so I can't stay with the baby in my belly. I hope the regent king can ascend the throne and completely control the entire Beiling Kingdom, making Beiling the most powerful country."

Hu Lier was expressing her opinion to An Yunxi.

The little emperor is already stupid, and it is a bit of a joke to sit on the throne of the emperor. It is better to let him abdicate directly and let the regent king become the legitimate emperor of Beiling.

An Yunxi was silent for a moment and glanced at the concubines around.

These people also stopped eating, and looked at An Yunxi without blinking, as if waiting for An Yunxi's decision.

They knew that the regent king doted on the princess, and as long as the princess said it, it would be better than what the regent king said.

An Yunxi smiled, "I did think of letting the prince ascend the throne, but" Once

he became the emperor, he would have no freedom at all.

As the ruler of a country, let alone this trip to Southern Qi, he would not be able to leave the capital in the future. Unless he went on a private visit without revealing his identity, he would not be able to leave the country openly in his lifetime.

The most important thing is that

even if you count them carefully, there are not many emperors who do not have concubines in the six palaces. In order to maintain the relationship between the court and the harem, it is necessary to select concubines. Even if Ling Fengxun can refuse, there will be countless ministers who will report to him every day, which is very annoying.

She raised her eyebrows, "If the emperor changes, have you thought about where you will go?"

All the concubines fell silent.

Then they looked at An Yunxi nervously.

Concubine Liu raised her chubby cheeks and looked worried: "Princess, are we going to be buried with the emperor?"

"I heard that there was an emperor who died in the past and buried all the concubines in his harem with him. It's too horrible!" "

Even if you are not buried with the emperor, I'm afraid you will have to go to a nunnery and live a life of simple food and drink, accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas!"

Concubine Liu shook her head desperately: "Simple food and drink? That won't do. I will die if I don't eat meat for a day!"

A group of concubines began to chatter about the dark future, which made An Yunxi laugh for a while.

She immediately said: "Okay, the succession of the throne is not a joke? You don't have to worry. As long as the emperor doesn't die, I promise that you will all stay in the palace and enjoy the fine clothes, food, glory and wealth." As soon as

these words came out.

All the concubines present were excited, and the smiles on their faces seemed full of happiness.

At this time, several figures appeared at the door.

It was the Grand Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine who walked in from outside.

When they saw the two coming, all the other concubines stood up and saluted respectfully.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked a little old, but when she saw a group of people surrounding her, she was happy.

These concubines, who usually didn't have to please the emperor, changed their target and began to please her, the Grand Empress Dowager.

"May the Empress Dowager be healthy and well!"

" May the Imperial Concubine be healthy

and well." The Empress Dowager's voice was old, and she walked with a cane and said, "Please sit down, I heard that the princess was back, so I came to see her." An Yunxi stepped forward and helped the Empress Dowager to sit on the chair. The Imperial Concubine also had a smile on her face, and her face was radiant and rich. This lady is not very old, and now she has no worries. She feels younger and younger. The Imperial Concubine never thought that she would become the final winner. The Queen and Concubine Hui all ended up in misery. The Third Prince died, the Crown Prince was stupid, and only her son Ling Changxi was smart and wise, and chose to follow the Regent from the beginning. Now she was living a comfortable life in the palace. No one was fighting with her, and she didn't need to think about calculating every day. She felt that her hair was thicker. The originally empty palace was now full of people. The maids and nurses brought tea and snacks to entertain the nobles who were rarely seen on weekdays. An Yunxi exchanged a few words with the Empress Dowager and the Royal Concubine, and talked about the current situation in the Southern Qi Kingdom, which made the two of them look shocked. This change was too shocking. The Empress Dowager asked, "I seem to have met your third brother, but I never thought that he would become the ruler of a country in such a short time." The Queen Dowager was also very surprised, "Doesn't that mean that Nanqi and Beiling will be one family in the future?" Her eyes brightened when she looked at An Yunxi. If they could avoid fighting, who would be willing to fight? An Yunxi nodded, "Almost." She smiled and felt that things are unpredictable. Just last year, Beiling was always ready to go to war with Nanqi. But now it's good that even the royal family of Nanqi has become one of their own. The Empress Dowager knocked the ground with her cane. "Hey, don't think too simply. The rift between the two countries for so many years is not so easy to heal. It will take time to achieve peace, but it is good news in the end." As she spoke, An Yunxi seemed to have thought of a question. She did not beat around the bush and asked the Empress Dowager directly, "Do you know how the old abbot of Liangshan Temple got the remains of the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum?" An Yunxi's question stunned the Empress Dowager for a moment.

Her eyes were lost in thought, and she suddenly lowered her eyes and placed both hands on the crutches.

"Why do you ask about this suddenly?"

An Yunxi realized something, and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that

"Forget it, since you asked about this, I won't hide it from you. The body of the late emperor was indeed dug out from the imperial mausoleum by me, and it has never been buried back. I don't know how I was so careful about this matter, but you, a girl, still knew about it."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and her face showed endless sadness.

An Yunxi's pupils suddenly shrank, and a faint coldness flashed across her eyes.

Is the Empress Dowager the one who hides deeply and intends to destroy Beiling?

But the next moment, she heard the Empress Dowager speak slowly.

"After I die, I must be buried in the imperial mausoleum, sharing the same coffin and grave with the late emperor, but I don't want to, so I replaced his body."
