Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"Perhaps, Prince Chen and the others also told the Queen Mother the same thing."

Prince Heng said with a frown.

Hearing this, Concubine Liu was very unhappy.

She had been helping her husband for all these years, hoping to become the queen, but her husband now wanted to give the position of queen to the young lady of Duke Zheng's mansion.

But she also knew in her heart that if she didn't give him the daughter of Duke Zheng's mansion, Queen Zheng would never accept Prince Heng as her son.

If that happens, they will lose everything.

"so what should I do now?"

"Humph, Prince Chen wants to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the officials will not agree."

Everyone thought so. Although Prince Chen had the title of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, twenty years had passed and those old ministers had either died or retired. Now the only people who depended on Prince Chen were Minister Cui and some other people who had no real power.

Xiao Jingchen does have military power in his hands, but what is the use of it now?

Commander Zhao is the emperor's man, and Commander Xiao is also the emperor's man. They will only obey the emperor's orders. When the emperor dies, it will be the crown prince chosen by the emperor, or the new heir.

I will never listen to Queen Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered all the ladies and princes to guard the mourning hall."

When Yun Zhao rushed over, he saw all the concubines and princes were there.

All the concubines and princes were kneeling.

Seeing Yun Zhao, Yang Guifei spoke.

"I heard that Princess Chao'an has been busy taking care of the Queen Mother and the Queen these days. She must have worked really hard."

Princess Li also said this.

"Princess Chao'an is so filial that I am really ashamed of myself."

"I underestimated Princess Chao'an. I didn't expect her to be so scheming."

"Princess Chao'an is truly admirable."

Several concubines spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Yun Zhao heard what they said and looked at them. At this time, she would naturally not conflict with them. Now these people heard some gossip, but they were not sure.

The imperial edict in the hands of the Queen's aunt is a killer move. They want to win over the Queen's aunt, but they are afraid that the Queen's aunt will take action against them.

Yun Zhao knelt on the ground and burned paper money.

In a side hall not far away, all the ministers knelt on the ground.

"Empress, I heard that the emperor gave you an imperial decree, requiring the concubines in the harem to be buried with him. The Emperor Taizu and the Empress Taizu had previously said that burial with him was not allowed. The emperor's imperial decree is indeed unreasonable..."

"Please think twice, Queen."

"The late emperor also said that concubines in the harem should not be buried with the emperor. Your Majesty is not following the ancestral precepts by doing this..."

At one time, many ministers spoke up. They all wanted to save the lives of Yang Guifei, Li Fei and others.

If these concubines were gone, how could they support the princes to ascend to the throne? At that time, there would be more trouble.

Queen Zheng listened to their words and looked at them coldly.

"Are you trying to use the ancestral teachings to pressure me? Why didn't you persuade the emperor when he was still alive? Now that the emperor has passed away, you no longer have me, the queen, in your eyes, right?"

"I dare not wait."

All the ministers knelt down.

"The Empress Dowager is ill, so I am here to take care of these matters. You don't care about the court or the people, but keep saying that the Emperor is wrong about me. I think you are very bold..."

Many of the ministers who had spoken just now were so frightened that they kept apologizing.
