Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Ling Dao felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this.

But when she thought about it carefully, except for the one born by Chen Zhining, all the other children in the royal family were born to other people... She couldn't help but laugh.

It's really interesting to see them all wearing green hats!

interesting!

Very interesting!!!

......

In the imperial study, the emperor was discussing something with several officials.

When he saw the queen coming in, he immediately smiled, waved his hand, and asked her to sit next to him.

The queen didn't expect that there were several officials discussing something nearby. She said a little embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, this... the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. I will go back first."

"Why are you going back?"

"It's okay to sit here."

The emperor waved his hand and asked Li Haitang to come in and get her a stool. Then he smiled and said, "Just sit down. This is not a big deal. There is a famine all over the country. What should we do?"

"Should we open the warehouse to store grain, or what?"

"I see!"

The queen smiled and nodded, then said, "Old Nine and his wife did say before that they had been storing grain in Kyoto for a long time."

"After the Chinese New Year, when the weather got a little warmer and spring arrived, we stopped distributing porridge."

"Afterwards, if we want to settle those refugees, it would probably be better to put them in the fields and let them farm."

The officials below looked at each other with admiration on their faces.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has grown up."

"I became more stable after I got married."

"It's all thanks to the Emperor and Empress for their good parenting."

"..."

Prime Minister Wu, who was in the lead, nodded with a smile. He was also the father of Prince Consort Wu.

He smiled and said, "The refugees below were indeed arranged to farm nearby and in the imperial farm, and were sent down to farm."

"... Money or no money, put it aside for now."

"In this situation, being able to fill our stomachs is already good enough."

"But if it comes to other conditions, then there are none... only two meals a day."

"It would be fine to let them go to various parts of the country and plant crops, but they don't have the money for the trip, and they don't have any seeds..."

"We don't even have the money for the trip, seeds, farm tools, food and clothing, these are all problems."

"If the country releases money, how can Zhou Song have so much money to accommodate so many refugees?!"

"And the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that... this year's astronomical phenomena are not very good. I'm afraid there will be a disaster, which will be bigger than last year's disaster. This will be very troublesome."

"..."

The emperor and the queen fell silent at the same time. They discussed for about half an hour but could not come to a conclusion.

I had no choice but to let these officials go home.

They planned to go home and think about the solution carefully, or seek advice from their colleagues and staff.

All the officials had left, only the empress and the emperor remained.

In the imperial study, the emperor rubbed his head which seemed to be cracking, and had big dark circles under his eyes.

“Since the Chinese New Year, things have been happening one after another.

First, it was about the possibility that Loulan might rise up in rebellion."

He is in the process of planning, which is nothing. After all, if he wants to start a rebellion, it will be in a few years.

He didn't care.

"The second thing is about Lao Jiu."

He hadn't even finished investigating this matter when the issue of refugees popped up again... It really made him extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Li Haitang hurriedly handed the tea to the emperor.

He said, "Your Majesty, this is the jujube tea sent by the Ninth Prince's Mansion. It can help you relieve fatigue."

"Your Majesty and the Queen, please come and have a taste."

"Hmm! It smells good!"

"This jujube tea is sweet and has a refreshing fragrance. It can help people relieve fatigue."

The emperor and the empress both took a few sips and then praised the tea highly.

Then, the queen put down the teacup and said with satisfaction: "Old Nine is a good child."

"Old Nine and his wife were very kindhearted before, and the refugees liked them very much."

"They even say that the two children born to Lao Jiu's wife are both lucky."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about these things, and don't worry about the refugees' hearts and minds. Anyway, we are just doing our best. These refugees have drunk so much porridge, and the situation is still stable at the moment."

As she spoke, the emperor asked hurriedly.

"...What do you want to do by praising Lao Jiu so much today?"

"

Could it be that...the things we were investigating have been solved?"

"I have been busy with the affairs of these officials and have not had time to investigate Lao Jiu's affairs. How are you and Li Haitang investigating?"

The queen looked a little embarrassed. "The reason why I said this is because I sent people to investigate and found nothing."

"The things that Ling Dao checked were all irrelevant, and they all pointed out that Lao Jiu was not my child."

"I don't know how Li Haitang is doing with his investigation."

"......All right."

"Then, Li Haitang."

The emperor looked a little disappointed, and then waved his hand, "Li Haitang, how is the matter that the queen asked you to investigate going?"

"Is there any connection between the Ninth Brother and the youngest son back then?"

"this......"

Li Haitang pondered for a while, then said hesitantly, "We originally wanted to check, but we sent people to Yongzhou to check, and then we found that the evidence we should check had already been checked by others."

"I heard it was a girl. She looked into the matter one by one, and after she understood everything, she left with the evidence."

"We were a step late when we got there, so we didn't find out anything."

"what?!"

The emperor and empress were shocked.

Then he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by evidence that should be checked? It has already been checked by others. Is there something fishy about this matter?!"

Li Haitang knelt down and trembled as he said, "I have been serving Your Majesty for many years, so my words must carry some weight."

"I am here to tell your Majesty and the Queen the truth, and I will use my own head as a guarantee! This matter is indeed suspicious!"

"but!"

"Is it strange that the Ninth Prince is the legitimate youngest son born to the Queen, or... the Queen was murdered when she gave birth? I don't know."

“But as for the evidence… I don’t have it yet, so I don’t know the situation.

But what we do know is that the Queen was indeed harmed when she gave birth to her child."
