Chapter 21 Heart disease (1)

Just because the empress is the emperor's wife, abolishing an empress is tantamount to divorcing his wife. A man can only divorce his own wife, not someone else's wife. Xia Tinglan is the wife of the late emperor, so of course she cannot be abolished.

What's more, there has always been a saying in ancient times that "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother". You should treat your elder brother's wife with the same respect as your own mother. In this way, let alone abolishing the first emperor and empress, it is a bit disrespectful to her, and spread it outside Going to others will say that you, the emperor, treat the widowed wife harshly and are unkind.

Although there is no risk of being abolished as the empress of the first emperor, and she is respected by the emperor, she is still inferior to the empress dowager. After all, women in this era are "husband dies and sons are obedient". When a husband dies, there is no son to rely on. desolate.

Xia Tinglan said again: "Now that your husband has ascended the throne and became the emperor, he alone has ascended to heaven, and all the wives and concubines in your palace have also become more honorable, but the more honorable they are, the more fierce the fights will be. The Min family is not a person with measure. It's only going to get harder for you now that she's queen."

She changed her tone and said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry, your aunt is the queen mother, with her backing you up, and me, the former emperor and empress, supporting you, the people of the Min family must not dare to plot against you easily."

Looking at her smile, Linglong couldn't help but recall the days when she was an unmarried boudoir. There were no strict rules of court etiquette, no endless calculations, and everything seemed so peaceful.

At this moment, Xiao Luzi, the eunuch next to Xia Tinglan, hurried over and shouted: "The Empress, the Empress Dowager is not well."

Xia Tinglan was stunned and stood up abruptly: "Not good? What's wrong?"

Xiao Luzi bowed and said: "The imperial doctor said that the empress dowager was overly sad because of the death of the late emperor, and her body turned sharply, I'm afraid..."

Since the death of the first emperor, Linglong has always had an ominous premonition that something big is about to happen.

But because of the sudden death of the late emperor, the front court and the harem were in chaos, and while she had to follow the crowd to mourn the late emperor, she also had to be wary of the schemes of the Min family and others. Her spirit was so tense that she had no time to think about it. this matter.

Now hearing Xiao Luzi talking about this incident, Linglong suddenly woke up this time, and this ominous event fell on the Queen Mother.

According to the description in the original novel, the first emperor passed away, and shortly after the first emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Cishou passed away because of the grief of the late emperor.

Because the empress dowager passed away prematurely, the emperor lost the suppression of the mother of Dazong, so he dared to blatantly violate the patriarchal system and honored his biological mother An as the empress dowager.

Also because of the premature death of the Empress Dowager, Yu Linglong, the original owner, lost the biggest backer in the harem, and Xia Tinglan was plotted and poisoned to death later, so she ended up in the miserable end of abandoning the cold palace and dying of despair.

Therefore, in order to change the tragic fate of the original owner, keeping the queen mother is the first and most important step.

Only by keeping the Empress Dowager alive can she use her power to deter the harem, so that those young people dare not make calculations, so that I can live a good life in the future.

Thinking of this, Linglong said to Xia Tinglan: "If you say something, you will fall ill like a mountain. Aunt's illness is so violent. I'm afraid it's not that simple. No matter what, we have to keep my aunt, otherwise the power in the harem will have to be reshuffled. It's too bad for us."
