I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue: [What's the problem?]

System: [Host, think about it, as time goes by, women's inherent disadvantage in strength will become apparent.]

[In the past, most of the heavy work was done by the men in the family. Now that there are only women in the family, they have to do it. The efficiency is even lower, and there are even some things that women cannot do at all.]

[So, Princess Lijing found a way to add some of the cow's organs to the materials for making pregnancy pills, which is how Shengnuquan has the effect of strengthening the body. ]

[The so-called "guardian" secret technique is actually a lie of the Southern Liang royal family. There is no secret technique at all. It is just that on the day of the royal heir's coming of age, the empress tells the heir the origin of Shengnu Spring and gives the heir the key to the basement where the pregnancy pills are stored.]

[In fact, it is just an exchange of the candidates for the pregnancy pills to be placed in Shengnuquan. ]

Qin Yue: [Oh my god! This really opened my eyes! I never thought that the Shengnu Spring that Nanliang claimed to the public was actually made of countless Nanliang men's flesh, women's wombs, and water buffaloes made into pregnancy pills, which were put into the water! ]

[And that secret technique, it’s all fake! ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and his court officials now felt like their brains were not working properly.

What the hell is going on!

Although they sympathized with Princess Lijing's previous experience, her subsequent behavior was indeed somewhat cruel.

Just because of her personal idea, she killed all the men in Nanliang at once. Not only that, she also wanted to make them into pregnancy pills!

How many innocent people have been persecuted here!

Not all men are like that prince consort!

I wonder how the descendants of those dead men would feel when they find out that the Shengnu Spring water they drink every day actually contains the flesh and blood of their loved ones.

I don’t know how they would feel when they find out that everyone has been kept in the dark by the lies of the Southern Liang royal family, and that in fact they are not only able to rely on Shengnuquan to pass on their offspring.

Although the Southern Dynasty is an outsider, no one wants to live in lies.

It's just a pity for those innocent people in Nanliang who were made into pregnancy pills...

Although Minister Wei was shocked by the actions of the Southern Liang Empress, what he wanted to know more was why the Empress sent people to abandon Nian Ci, and why she wanted to kill Nian Ci after more than ten or twenty years.

Qin Yue continued to sigh: [I really didn’t expect that all the women in the entire country of Nanliang were living in the lies woven by the Nanliang royal family…]

[Then why did the current empress abandon Princess Mu? ]

Minister Wei quickly pricked up his ears.

System: [Because after the handover of the "secret technique" is completed, the empress will have to step down from her current position, and in order to protect the royal family's secrets from being leaked, the resigned empress must disappear.]

[The people who carried out the operation to make the empress disappear were all left behind by Princess Lijing. Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, they also appeared and left without a trace. Even if the empress, who was forced to retire, wanted to get rid of them in advance, she couldn't do it.]

[Moreover, those people have been loyal to Princess Li Jing for generations, and strictly follow the orders left by Princess Li Jing, which is to kill the empress who should step down! ]

[This is also the reason why the Southern Liang empress, after Princess Lijing, did not live past the age of 31.]

Qin Yue: [So if the current empress doesn’t want to be killed by those people, she can only get rid of her own child, that is, Princess Mu. ]

[In this case, as long as the Southern Liang Kingdom has no heir, then the only option is to let the Empress continue to live and continue to maintain the effectiveness of the Shengnu Spring. ]

[Unexpectedly, the Queen of Southern Liang also became Princess Li Jing’s pawn…]

Minister Wei didn't know what to think.

It is understandable that Nianci's mother wanted to live, but it is hard to judge whether she killed her own child in order to live herself.

Ultimately, the blame lies with Princess Lijing for being too cruel. She even included her own descendants in her schemes, making it so that even though they were in the highest position of power, they were still unable to control their own behavior.

System: [That's right! However, when the empress gave birth to Princess Mu, she felt sorry for her at first sight, so she didn't kill her on the spot. She only sent her confidant to secretly take Princess Mu to the capital of the Southern Dynasty, and then replaced her with a dead baby, disguising it as premature death, deceiving the people left behind by Princess Lijing, and allowing herself to escape death.]

Qin Yue: [The empress had some conscience and did not really kill her child. But why did she send him to the capital? ]

System: [Because the Southern Dynasty is very close to the Southern Liang, if there are any actions in the future, she will be able to find Princess Mu in time. ]

[She was sent to the capital because it was prosperous. This was also her last act of kindness to Princess Mu. She wanted Princess Mu to grow up in the prosperous capital and enjoy the wealth and splendor that a princess of a country should have.]

Minister Wei raised his eyebrows slightly. Wealth and glory?

He recalled the scene when he picked up Nian Ci that year. If being almost frozen to death can be considered as wealth and glory, then he really had nothing to say.

Presumably, there must be some unexpected change that the empress did not expect...

Qin Yue asked: [Sister, from what you said, how come the empress still considered the future life of Princess Mu? Then how come Princess Mu was picked up by Minister Wei? ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: Yes!

Although they didn't know how Minister Wei had found Princess Mu, they knew it was definitely not what the empress had planned, with all the splendor and wealth...

If he was really rich and powerful, he would not have fallen to the point where he had to be picked up by someone to survive.

After all, given Minister Wei's character, he would never do something like snatching someone else's child.

The system paused for a moment, then said: [This is also bad luck. ]

[At that time, in order to prevent Princess Li Jing's people from discovering the birth of Princess Mu, the empress ordered her confidant to take people and flee. In other words, she made the decision in a very short time, so naturally she was not fully prepared.]

[Although Princess Mu was given enough property to live a comfortable life, all that property was taken from the bedroom near the delivery room.]

[There is very little money in the empress's bedroom, mostly jewelry, head ornaments, necklaces and other treasures. This has caused the confidants to need to exchange these treasures for money in order to purchase real estate and all the things they need in the capital.]

[As a woman with a child and a huge fortune, she is easily targeted.]

[The confidant did not know martial arts, and after she had spent all the money she had left, she pawned her jewelry and other treasures in a town not far from the capital, which brought her trouble. Not only was all her property robbed, but she was also insulted before being let go.]

[It was winter at the time, and the confidant managed to escape with Princess Mu, but they had no food, and their clothes were almost torn by the robbers. Not long after they left, the confidant froze to death on the road.]

[But Princess Mu in her arms didn't freeze to death because her confidant wrapped her in the only complete piece of clothing. She was encountered by Minister Wei when she was dying.]

Qin Yue: [I didn't expect that Princess Mu was picked up by Minister Wei because her money was robbed. This experience is really... Alas...]

Minister Wei: No wonder the woman was wearing thin clothes and looked so miserable. The only relatively intact clothes she had were used to wrap Nianci.

Oh... that woman...

Qin Yue asked again: [Then why did the empress kill Princess Mu? ]
