Hearing Lu Jingzhi's questions about twins, Yan Qingzhui explained the situation to her.
Many people believe that the birth of twins is an ominous sign, a superstition based on feudal thought.
Lu Jingzhi: "Isn't it said that more sons bring more blessings?"
Yan Qingzhui recounted an event from the previous dynasty that had caused a great sensation at the time. Scholars wrote mocking poems about it, and ministers submitted memorials to the emperor. Even to this day, historical records provide a detailed account of the event.
It was the usurpation between twins.
Originally, the older brother was meant to inherit the throne, but his younger brother grew jealous. Over several years, he managed to make himself identical to his older brother and gradually replaced him.
In the end, the truth was uncovered.
But it was too late.
The true crown prince had already rotted away in a secret underground passage.
No more than a human form remained.
