"Father has been enthroned as emperor for more than ten years, but it is only in recent years that he really started looking for the orphan of A Luhuan's family."

"Why?" Jing Sheng was puzzled, "Isn't Aluhuan's family the grandfather's family of Emperor Wu? He shouldn't really want to find descendants for his grandfather's family, right?"

"The emperor father was the son of a sinful concubine, and it was almost impossible for him to seek the throne. In the past, Emperor Taizu's step-mother Mu had no heirs, and the father wanted to pursue a great career, so he recognized his step-mother as his mother. became the heir of the successor."

"Mu family?" Jing Sheng recalled that the two empresses of Emperor Wu were also noble daughters of the Mu family.

"The Mu family is the largest family in Jiuli," but under the suppression of Emperor Wu in recent years, it has gradually declined. "Father was able to ascend to the position of supreme sage, the Mu family contributed a lot, so after father ascended the throne, he enshrined Mu Successor as Empress Dowager, and the Mu family was really prosperous back then."

"What does this have to do with A Luhuan's family?"

"Beside the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully! If the Aluhuan family is dead, that's fine, but back then, there was an orphan living outside the Aluhuan family. What the Mu family wanted was the emperor's natal family. Honor, he is an obedient puppet emperor, how can he tolerate an orphan who came out of nowhere to share the glory?" Su Qian told Jing Sheng about the lucky secrets of the royal family, "The year my father ascended the throne , rehabilitated A Luhuan's family, and found the orphan who was living abroad, but that person died unexpectedly on the way to Beijing."

"Dead?" Jing Sheng frowned, it didn't sound like an accident at all.

Su Qian smiled, with some mockery in her eyes. "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was the work of the Mu family, but so what? The Mu family was so powerful back then, united with several other Jiuli clans, maybe even the emperor could be changed."

"So, the emperor just... endured it?" Jing Sheng asked.

Su Qian nodded. The Daning that Emperor Wu took over was a country full of desolation, a court and harem full of disadvantages.He respected Han studies, respected Han law, established a family system, reused the Han family, and used the Han family to check and balance the Jiuli nobles. He worked hard for more than ten years to achieve today's Daning.

"Back then, the orphan of the Aluhuan family died inexplicably, but his wife escaped, and their five-year-old daughter escaped with him. Probably because the orphan of the Aluhuan family was indirectly killed, so the father This time, the emperor waited until the empress dowager passed away, and the Mu family was lonely before starting to look for the daughter of the A Luhuan family."

"Isn't that daughter... Qin Xiu?" Jing Sheng remembered that Geng Niang had said that Qin Xiu was the noble daughter of A Luhuan's family and the little aunt of the current emperor.

Su Qian shook her head, "It is said that there was a nanny and her child who ran away with Mrs. A Luhuan back then. Mrs. A Luhuan was seriously injured and died. The nanny exchanged the two children in order to repay her kindness. She brought The young lady of A Luhuan's family ran away, and left her daughter beside Mrs. A Luhuan's body."

"So... Qin Xiu is the little girl who was replaced by the sacrifice?"

Su Qian sighed, "I heard that when the zither sleeve was abandoned, it was a cold winter and heavy snow. It was almost impossible for a child to survive, but it was probably God's mercy, she was rescued by an old beggar, and then..."

Qin Xiu has suffered what A Luhuan noble daughter should have suffered.
