This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 334

These days, he has lost a lot of weight, there is no flesh on his face, and his eyes are sunken, but no matter how sad he is, he still has to deal with state affairs.Seeing me coming, he was obviously taken aback, "Yan Ran?"

I approached him, resisting the urge to care, and asked him right away, "Why did the empress dowager die with a concubine?"

He frowned slightly and glanced at me, "This is a rule, why are there so many?"

"Is this the rule that treats people's lives like this?" Palace people have to be buried with them, and the concubine has to be buried with them. To die alone, but so many living people have to be given to death alive, don't you think it is cruel?

"Why are you excited?" He frowned even tighter, "Yan Ran, this is a rule, no matter how unhappy you are, you can't ignore this rule." 
I'm excited, I'm just excited about this society without human rights, the system of sacrificial burial is too perverted.

"Where did the concubine come from to be buried by the empress dowager?" I took a deep breath, and my tone was still not very pleasant.

"Just seal as many as you want." He answered me indifferently.Then he looked at me deeply, "Just choose from the 29 people you have selected for me." 
I was stunned, "Nangongchen, how can you be so ruthless?"

He twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at me with some sarcasm, "Yanran, you have been in the royal family for ten years, don't you know the royal gauge?"

My body trembled, and I looked at him in disbelief, "But they just entered the palace."

"They should know before entering the palace that concubines are not easy to be." He looked at me, "Not everyone can have exceptions, understand?" 
...Not all people can have exceptions, what do you mean?
"Oh, I think your cousin is quite suitable, just her, and other people, you can choose." He said something to add insult to injury, and then looked at me with a smile, "Sacrifice, not a woman from an ordinary family background Those who are eligible must at least have to be ladies." He hinted at something.
