Chapter 216 Abnormal, Concubine Ling

And because South Vietnam is a country of femininity, it rarely conflicts with others.

Moreover, their country has a natural gas barrier, and it is not easy to annex them.Therefore, for so many years, it has been peaceful.

The same is true for Beihan, their natural barrier is the snow mountain.

Their country is winter all year round, with a cold climate and a huge area.The other three countries don't even know where their imperial cities are?Therefore, it is impossible to enter Beihan.

But every time someone entered the territory of Beihan, they would disappear inexplicably, and even the bones could not be found.

Everyone wondered if they were killed by Beihan's officers and soldiers, but they couldn't find where Beihan's people were.

After a long time, no one dared to step into Beihan territory.

After receiving the news, Chu Yan hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

The ministers who were recruited were also very strange. They had been officials for many years and had never heard of anything about Beihan.

Only those old ministers who had heard about Beihan many years ago.

But it's just a few words, and they are all folk things.There is nothing related to Beihan's court, and even they don't know the name of Beihan's emperor.

This is even more strange.

For the emperor of a country, no one even knows the emperor's surname. This is a bit abnormal!

These veterans are all in their 50s, nearly 60 years old.Even they don't know the surname of Beihan royal family, it's not right.

Chu Yan asked again without giving up: "Could it be that you haven't heard anything about Beihan's royal family for so many years?"

One of the old ministers thought for a long time before saying: "Back to the emperor, this old minister once heard about the Beihan royal family when he was a child. But I don't know if it is true or not?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan hurriedly said, "Quickly tell me."

"Yes!" The old minister bowed to Chu Yan and said, "Many years ago, the old minister was about seven or eight years old. One day when I was playing with my companions on the street, I heard that a princess from Beihan was coming to Dongshang.

It is said that she is the most beautiful princess in Beihan, sent by their Beihan emperor to marry her.

At that time, many people were waiting on the street.Just wanting to meet this beautiful princess, the old minister and a few companions also went to join in the fun.

After waiting for half a month, everyone finally saw the princess.

It's just that the princess was veiled at that time, and none of us saw her face.But I heard her name, it seems that her surname is Shui, what is Lingyun.

Yes, it is called Lingyun, we all call her Princess Lingyun.

Later, I heard that she entered the palace.She was conferred the title of Concubine Ling by the former emperor. I heard that because of the title, it caused dissatisfaction in the harem! "

Speaking of this, the old minister paused.

Chu Yan was very surprised when he heard what he said. He had never heard of any concubine Ling.All the concubines in the harem will be recorded, and he has never seen a concubine Ling.

It stands to reason that the ranks in the palace are divided into one empress, four concubines, and eight wives.

The four concubines are Gong, Liang, Shu and De respectively.These four titles generally do not change, so why did the ancestor emperor confer the title of Concubine Ling to this Beihan princess?
Also, why is it not recorded?What is the reason for this?

Just when Chu Yan was thinking about what was going on, the old minister continued: "I heard that the concubine Ling was very favored at that time. The emperor basically stayed in the concubine Ling's palace for eight out of ten days. .

Not long after, Concubine Ling became pregnant.The emperor was very happy and rewarded Concubine Ling with many things.Also let Concubine Ling manage the harem.

There is a queen in the palace, and the harem is managed by the queen.But at that time, the emperor loved Concubine Ling too much, so he directly gave Concubine Ling the phoenix seal in the queen's hand.

Concubine Ling's status at that time was not a queen but it was better than a queen.At this time, Concubine Ling was only two months pregnant.

What the emperor did made the queen fall ill.

Only then did the emperor restrain himself a little, but the emperor still went to Lingfei's palace every day.

This matter was widely spread at that time, and basically everyone in the capital knew about it.Even those of us children who are still in school know it. "

Speaking of this, the old minister sighed.

Chu Yan asked anxiously again: "What happened later! Why didn't there be any news about the concubine Ling afterwards!"

The veteran may be old and his memory is a bit bad.After thinking for a long time, he said: "Then one day, the old minister heard from his father that the emperor suddenly went to court diligently, and asked to send troops to station at the border with Beihan.

Later, I heard that Concubine Ling fell out of favor.I heard that Concubine Ling was about to give birth at that time, it seems to be eight months!
However, after two months, no prince or princess was born in the palace.

This matter should not have been known by a child like an old official, but it happened that I made a mistake in the hall that day and was fined to copy big characters.The veteran copied it for a day, and happened to come to the study to look for his father with the big characters he had copied.

Unexpectedly, there were people in his father's study, so the old minister planned to wait outside for a while.

Then, I heard a conversation between my father and an uncle.At that time, they were talking about the concubine Ling.

What happened later, the old minister didn't know.Anyway, since then, the veteran has never heard anything about Bei Han and Concubine Ling.

If the emperor hadn't asked suddenly, the old minister would have forgotten about it. "

Chu Yan nodded after listening to the old minister's words. After retiring from the court, he went to investigate the matter about the concubine Ling by himself.

He searched all the records about concubines in the harem, but couldn't find any records about concubines Ling.But he found a legacy of the late emperor.

It says: All descendants of the Chu family are not allowed to marry or accept a woman surnamed Shui as a wife or concubine.

Not even overnight stays.Offenders will be demoted to common people, except for the clan, even if they ascend to the throne.The last one is particularly clear.

However, no reason was written.

Chu Yan didn't know what the concubine Ling did to make the ancestor emperor so angry.

But thinking about it, it shouldn't be easy, otherwise, how could the Emperor Yizu's love for Concubine Ling be as good as her.

Chu Yan thought of the old minister's last words, and guessed that the concubine Ling's ending would not be too good.Otherwise, she was more than eight months pregnant, how could she not have a child's birth record.

There is only one possibility, that is, the child was not born at all.

In other words, the ancestor emperor did not let this child be born.

According to the time said by the veteran, this should have happened more than 50 years ago.There have been four emperors since now, and even the father was not born at that time, so where should we start from?

Moreover, the old minister is too old, so what he said may not be true.

Chu Yan put the last instruction back into the box and put it in the secret cabinet.Later, Chu Yan thought that the court ladies and eunuchs in the palace should know the most about this matter in the palace.

If you want to find out what happened back then, you have to find these people.

It's just that I don't know if it was silenced?Even if they didn't silence them, these people should be gone according to their age!
However, Chu Yan decided to check it out.Maybe there are still people alive!
Thinking of this, Chu Yan called in Xiao Shouzi, the eunuch next to him.Xiao Shouzi was originally just a little eunuch cleaning outside the cold palace.

Probably because of their similar age, they treated him very well.
