But why does the lord insist on marrying

Chapter 940 Leaving him...

The guards at the city gate did not dare to evacuate their posts. If King Heng took the opportunity to escape, their heads would be lost.

Those few masters also did not dare to leave, and only caught a few beggars who were running slowly.

When questioned, several beggars cried and cried: "We don't know. I heard someone said that there was a good man outside the city gate who gave meat buns. Brothers haven't eaten enough for many meals, let alone seen meat. Wen Feng ran over. Who knows how hard it was to get out, it turned out to be a lie, woo woo..."

Another beggar cried: "It's impossible to deceive people. They must have been eaten by these unscrupulous guards. Give us meat buns back, give us meat buns back."

Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, it must be some kind of trick played by King Heng. The guards drove them away seeing that they were acting badly.

The beggar who organized the riot had already told everyone where to gather, so that everyone should not gather, but must disperse, and the target should not attract attention, and go to distribute the money.

In order not to make the guard suspicious, these beggars immediately separated and went in all directions.In the end, I turned around and came there.

There were too many beggars, and the masters who chased them out of the city gate didn't pay attention to how many went out and how many came back.

The riot happened at that moment, and they were caught off guard.

No matter whether King Heng went out or not, they couldn't admit that the city gate was ever opened.

Otherwise, it's their heads that will fall.

After the city gate was closed again, King Heng lifted the branches and leaves above his head, jumped out of a small mountain depression, and headed south.

The prince couldn't find King Heng, and was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he immediately ascended the throne as emperor and presided over the national funeral.

In the distance, Xia Ziyan heard women's cries and howls in the Cang Palace, so she flew up to the roof to have a look.

In the long funeral procession, a group of women in plain white clothes who were forcibly escorted forward by officers and soldiers stood out...

those are...

Aotian who flew up to sit beside her, saw the direction she was looking, and said: "Those who cried are all concubines who were buried with them."

Xia Ziyan opened her eyes wide: "Buried with you?"

Aotian is very surprised that she doesn't even have this common sense: "After the emperor dies, all concubines who have no heirs and whose rank is lower than that of a noble concubine will be buried with them."

The noble concubine Wei who has no heirs in the palace is not among those buried with her...

Then this decree is really strange.

Xia Ziyan sighed: "It's really a cannibalistic society."

Aotian sneered: "It has been like this since ancient times, but knowing it is so, there are still so many women scrambling to enter the palace and climb up. Such consequences are what they asked for."

Looking at the group of women following the funeral procession, the concubines who were terrified, desperate, or turned into puppets, Xia Ziyan couldn't help feeling a bit of sadness in her heart.

Among these women in the harem, I am afraid that there are some who have no choice but to enter the palace.

However, she is only one person and cannot change this society, this country.

Xia Ziyan's ethereal voice came: "Do you know? There is a society where there is no emperor, and the highest decision-maker of the country is elected by everyone. There is no hereditary system. There are no three wives and four concubines. All men and women are one-to-one. And If the man makes a mistake, the woman can also divorce him, men and women are equal."

Although it is difficult for Aotian to imagine what such a society would look like, he has no doubts.Yes, he would never doubt anything Xia Ziyan said.

But at this moment, he only felt that Xia Ziyan's eyes were far away, as if she was going to leave him at any moment...
