Chapter 203 Aunt

Imperial tomb, the place where the emperor's sleeps, in a sense, the guards of the imperial tomb are stricter than those of the imperial palace. For example, the army led by Hu Yan Shouxin is responsible for inspecting the east side of the imperial tomb. However, in addition to the scope of the inspection, it is strictly forbidden to take another step forward, and it is even more impossible to enter the imperial tomb. Therefore, Li Zhang stayed in the imperial tomb for so long, and only saw the imperial tomb from a distance outside. If he wanted to enter, he would not have to obtain Liu E's consent.

Thanks to the first anniversary of Zhao Heng's death, Zhao Zhen wanted to go to pay tribute in person, so Li Zhang took this opportunity to finally enter the imperial tomb. When the carriage entered through the main entrance of the imperial tomb, Li Zhang was also quite excited.

The imperial tomb covers a large area and is divided into underground buildings and above-ground buildings. Needless to mention the underground, it is mainly the underground palace where Zhao Heng's body is stored, and the ground part is one after another. In fact, the buildings here are not much worse than the imperial palace, and there are also many people living here. In addition to the guards and craftsmen responsible for maintaining the imperial tomb, many concubines produced by Zhao Heng also live here, and there are also many palace maids and eunuchs serving them, which together have thousands of people.

When the carriage entered the imperial tomb, Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang no longer took the car, but got off the car and walked. There were many people who came with Zhao Zhen this time. In addition to offering sacrifices to Zhao Heng, there were also many magical tools to be given to the concubines living here. After all, these concubines were also considered Zhao Zhen's elders.

It's getting late today, and the day after tomorrow is Zhao Heng's sacrifice, so Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang need to stay in the imperial tomb for a few days, just in these two days, they can distribute the gifts they bring to the concubines living here.

"Cousin, is it necessary for me to give it to me in person?" The next morning, Zhao Zhen carried the gift in one hand, but complained to Li Zhang. It was enough to just let the eunuchs who brought him to do it, and Zhao Zhen didn't have to come forward in person. After all, there are dozens of concubines living here who have titles, and it took a lot of time to send it to each one.

"After all, they are all your elders, and I heard that these concubines were sent here because they had no children, but you only have one sister. In other words, except Miaoyuan's mother, Concubine Du, almost all other concubines are here. They can only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name to pray for the ancestors. As a junior, you must also do some filial piety. If you spread it out, you can set an example for the people of the world!" Li Zhang smiled and persuaded.

When Zhao Zhen heard that Li Zhang had taken out all his filial piety, he couldn't say anything else, so he had to personally carry a gift to visit one palace at a time. The hero Li Zhang had never seen it, but the beauty had seen too many beautiful women today. These concubines were all peerless in the past, but unfortunately they have become white-haired women now. Even though some young people have no spiritual sustenance because of Zhao Heng's death, they feel like they have lost their souls, which makes people feel pitiful.

"Cousin, can you not go? The palace where these concubines live is really uncomfortable!" After walking for more than a dozen houses, it was almost noon, but Zhao Zhen said reluctantly again. In fact, he can't blame him. After all, those concubines are lonely, even if they don't have to worry about food and clothing, their mental state is worrying, so Zhao Zhen feels uncomfortable.

"There is no truth about doing things that are too bad. There is not much left. The next one is Li Shunrong. Let's go back to have a meal after visiting her!" Li Zhang said immediately, and when he mentioned Li Shunrong, a little fluctuation flashed in his heart, because Li Shunrong, who was also his aunt, was previously named Wanyi, and Zhao Heng was named Wanrong after his death.

In fact, the main reason why Li Zhang wanted to come to the imperial tomb was to see his aunt. This was also the reason why he encouraged Zhao Zhen to give gifts to the concubines living here one by one. Because only in this way can he have the opportunity to see the other party openly, and he could not see Li Shunrong alone, otherwise he would clearly tell Liu E that he had already known about his relationship with Li Shunrong, and might even make Liu E wonder if Zhao Zhen knew about this, which would be bad at that time.

Zhao Zhen was a soft-hearted person. When he heard Li Zhang say this, he had to force himself to be energetic. Then he was led by the eunuch to another palace, saying that it was a palace, but it was actually a closed yard. After entering it, he found that there was no big difference between this place and other concubines, but there were more flowers and plants in the yard. I just don’t know if it was because of neglecting care that these flowers and plants were half-dead, and even some weeds grew on the ground.

Someone came in to report. In a short while, a lady in her thirties walked out in a hurry. When she saw Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang, she also had an extremely excited look on her face. However, soon she suppressed her feelings and slowed down and bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "See Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite. I came to pay tribute to my father. The aunt asked me to bring some gifts to Li Shunrong. It has been hard for you to pray for your father during this period!" Zhao Zhen said with a very formulaic smile at this time. He had said this passage more than ten times. Except for changing the name of the person who received the gift, there was no other word.

"I'm worried about it. Your Majesty, please come into the hall and have tea before leaving!" Li Shunrong suppressed his excitement and invited Zhao Zhen again. She knew that the person in front of her was her son, and that Li Zhang behind Zhao Zhen was her nephew, but she dared not recognize each other because it would only bring heavy consequences to them, so she could only bear it. Fortunately, she had been tolerant for more than ten years and had already learned to hide her feelings in front of others.

Zhao Zhen nodded immediately and agreed, and then entered the hall with Li Zhang. He had no special feelings for Li Shunrong. After all, he had no idea that the woman in front of him was his biological mother, so he planned to have a cup of tea and chat here and leave like other concubines.

When Li Zhang left, he was quietly looking at his aunt. He saw that the other person was taller than the average woman, with a well-proportioned body and fair skin, and extremely delicate facial features. Although he was in his thirties, he was still a rare beauty. However, he might be too thoughtful, which caused a few vertical lines to appear between her eyebrows.

Li Shunrong originally put all her thoughts on Zhao Zhen. After all, this is also a rare opportunity for her to see her son. However, just as Li Zhang looked at her, she seemed to feel something. She turned her head to look at Li Zhang, but the aunt and nephew faced each other. Li Shunrong immediately noticed something strange from Li Zhang's eyes.
