Chapter 458 How could it be her?

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been unwilling to take off her robe, and she has pulled His Majesty's clothes before and pointed at her. She obviously wanted to tell Your Majesty that she wanted to be buried in her robe, so she would ask Your Majesty to do it!" Li Zhang stood up and pointed at Xue Kui and said.

After returning from Taimiao, Liu E's robe has not been taken off. On the one hand, Liu E fell ill when she came back and had no time to change her clothes. On the other hand, Liu E was unwilling to take it off. It is worth mentioning that there are several layers of robes, and the outer robe that was too thick on the outside can be taken off, but the robe inside has been worn on Liu E.

"Li Duwei's words are very wrong. If the Empress Dowager wears a robe and is buried, he may not be ashamed to meet the previous emperor. So I concluded that the Empress Dowager must have wanted to replace the robe and be buried!" Xue Kui said very toughly at this time. He was the one who opposed Liu E's visit to the Taimiao the most, but unfortunately he failed later. Now that Liu E is dead, he is unwilling to let Liu E be buried in a robe that represents the emperor's identity.

"When the late emperor passed away, His Majesty was young, and the Song Dynasty was in turmoil. Thanks to the Queen Mother's efforts, this saved the Song Dynasty from the fire and fire. The Queen Mother used a woman to provoke the Song Dynasty's country, and his hard work was not inferior to any emperor. He was buried in a robe and burial, which showed the Queen Mother's achievements!" Li Zhang said unyieldingly at this time.

If Liu E had no expression before her death, then she wouldn't care what clothes she had worn to bury Li Zhang. However, since Liu E had expressed her intention to wear a robe before her death, and with Li Zhang's understanding of her, she would never guess what she meant. So at this time, he also argued with reason and wanted to help Liu E fulfill her last wish.

"Prince Li, the court has its own etiquette and law. How to bury the empress dowager needs to be discussed by officials of the Ministry of Rites and other officials, and finally it is up to Your Majesty to decide, so there is no need to argue about these matters!" Lu Yijian, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly interrupted the argument between Li Zhang and Xue Kui. He also looked at Li Zhang with some disappointment when he spoke, because he felt that Li Zhang had not listened to his previous words at all.

At this time, Li Zhang ignored Lu Yijian and others at all, but turned his attention to Zhao Zhen, because only Zhao Zhen really decided on this matter, and he believed that with Zhao Zhen's understanding of Liu E, he would definitely guess what she was thinking.

Facing Li Zhang's gaze, Zhao Zhen also showed a very entangled look on his face. After a while, he spoke a little hesitantly: "This... let's discuss this matter again. Let's discuss other things first!"

When Zhao Zhen said these words, his eyes were dodging and he did not dare to look at Li Zhang, which made Li Zhang look disappointed. It seemed that in Zhao Zhen's heart, he did not agree to let Liu E be buried in a robe. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Li Zhang and the ancients. In his opinion, it was just a piece of clothing, but in Zhao Zhen and the others' eyes, it was related to etiquette and law. In addition, their concept of ghosts and gods was also quite strong, so the perspective of viewing this matter was completely different from that of Li Zhang.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others discussed Liu E's affairs. Li Zhang did not speak again. Then someone came to restrain Liu E's body, which made Li Zhang look sad again. Although Liu E left a lot of controversy, he was still a respectable person. Unfortunately, from today on, he would be separated from the heavens and man and there would be no more time to meet.

Zhao Zhen also showed a sad expression at this time and was no longer in the mood to discuss matters with the ministers, so he asked Lu Yijian and others to deal with it as appropriate. He was stunned in front of Liu E's body. When Lu Yijian and others saw this, they all took their leave. Soon, only Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were left in the hall again.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yang and others are here, wanting to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager!" At this moment, the eunuch Luo Chongxun came forward to report while wiping his tears. Since Liu E's death, he seemed to have lost his soul, and his whole body felt empty, and his tears never stopped from beginning to end.

"Please come in!" Zhao Zhen nodded at this time, and Luo Chongxun agreed to turn and leave. After a while, he saw Concubine Yang, Miao Yuan and others coming in one after another. When he saw Liu E's body, he immediately started crying.

After Yang Taifei and others visited Liu E's body, they comforted Zhao Zhen a few more words, just to ask him to pay attention to his health and not to be too sad. Miaoyuan saw Li Zhang standing next to him and was about to step forward to comfort him, but was stopped by her mother Du Guifei. Li Zhang also noticed Miaoyuan's actions and immediately smiled at her.

Except for Miaoyuan, most of the people who came were Zhao Zhen's concubines. Li Zhang originally wanted to accompany Liu E for a while, but now it is not convenient to stay here anymore, so he turned around and left. Zhao Zhen also noticed that Li Zhang was leaving, but he did not speak up to keep him.

After paying attention to Liu E's body, the others also retreated one after another, but only Concubine Yang stayed, which made Zhao Zhen a little strange. Then he saw Concubine Yang waved her hand to ask the others to retreat, and then looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Sister has left, and you should know some things!"

"Little Empress, what do you mean..." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but step forward excitedly when he heard this.

"Yes, didn't you ask me about your life experience last time? I refused to tell you before, mainly because I was afraid that my sister would be sad. Now that my sister has left, it's time to tell you." Concubine Yang spoke again. At the end of the conversation, she turned her head and looked at Liu E's face next to her, and the expression on her face was very complicated.

"Little Empress, please tell me, who is my biological mother and where is now?" Zhao Zhen also eagerly grabbed Concubine Yang's sleeve and asked after hearing this.

"This..." Concubine Yang looked at Liu E next to her again, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's go to the side palace to talk about this matter. After all, I can't say too much in front of my sister!"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhen nodded immediately, then helped Concubine Yang quickly to the side hall, and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching. Then he asked again anxiously, "Little Empress, please tell me, where is my mother? Have I seen her before? When can I welcome her back?"

Seeing Zhao Zhen’s anxious look, Concubine Yang sighed at this time, then reached out to touch Zhao Zhen’s cheek and said softly: “Your Majesty asked me before, am I your biological mother? Although I really want to have a child of my own, I can’t lie to you. In fact, your mother is Li Shunrong. She has been guarding the imperial tomb since the death of the previous emperor.”
