I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

When the Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes, "Fourth Brother, why won't you let your own brother go?", Yixiu understood her choice.

Sure enough, that night, the Empress Dowager went to the Yangxin Palace in person to check on her eldest son, but before she even spent the night, the fat orange man was gone.

Fat Ju never thought that the second time he heard his mother sing nursery rhymes to him in his life would be when he was dying.

When the poison wine penetrated deep into his lungs, not only did Fat Ju's internal organs hurt, but his heart also ached. He didn't understand why the Empress Dowager would suddenly attack him out of the blue.

The moment he realized he was poisoned, the emperor certainly wanted to make a noise to attract the attention of people outside, but the empress dowager was here to see him off today, so how could she not have any preparation at all?

As early as when she came in, he asked Fat Ju to withdraw all the guards, saying that the mother and son wanted to have a good talk today and speak their mind.

At the beginning of the conversation, the Queen Mother even apologized to Fat Ju, saying that she did owe him in the early years, but now she knew she was wrong, and she would definitely treat him very well in the future.

Fat Ju was so moved that the mother and son even hugged each other and cried.

After crying, the knot between mother and son seemed to disappear immediately. The Queen Mother personally served Fatty Ju his favorite old duck soup.

Fat Ju was so moved that he drank three bowls in a row.

Then, he died in pain to the Queen Mother's nursery rhyme.

The Queen Mother was still covering Fat Ju's mouth tightly to prevent him from making any sound. Only after Fat Ju was completely dead did she dare to let go.

Fat Ju is gone. The cause of death was confirmed by the Empress Dowager herself as overwork.

Such an emperor who works diligently and devotes his life to the country is worthy of everyone's praise.

Although he did not have the chance to accomplish any great deeds, the fact that the emperor died at his post and was still reviewing memorials at his last moment is already worthy of praise.

Fat Orange is dead, and his death was so admirable, so the one who takes the throne must be the biological son of the late emperor!

Even if this son is not even old enough to go to the study, the throne must be his!

What does it matter if you are young?

Didn't Emperor Kangxi also ascend the throne at the age of eight? Wasn't he just as wise and powerful?

It is a foregone conclusion that Hongtan will ascend the throne. The problem now is that the late emperor passed away suddenly and there is no regent. Hongtan is still a baby, how can he take charge of the affairs of the dynasty?

The Queen Mother, well, now we should call her the Grand Queen Mother. The Grand Queen Mother is still counting on the Fourteenth Prince to return to the capital.

She had heard from Yi Xiu a long time ago that, given their relationship, the power was in Yi Xiu's hands. When Fourteenth came back, wouldn't it be exactly the same as if Fourteenth himself was the regent?

Therefore, the new Grand Empress Dowager used Xiaozhuang as an example and strongly recommended Yixiu as regent. The forces introduced by Hongxi and others also voted in favor.

When Fatty Orange came to power, his brothers had already been weakened. Now, the only ones who are still hanging around out there, apart from those with a lower ranking, like the Seventeenth, and those who are higher up and have a little say, are the Fifth Prince Heng and others.

At first, Lao Wu naturally disagreed with women intervening in politics. Isn't this like a hen crowing at dawn? How could this be possible?

But Hongxi's words touched his heart.

Fat Ju is gone, leaving behind Yixiu and Hongtan, an orphan and a widow. Hongtan is still young, and it seems that he can't understand what the adults are talking about. After all, Yixiu is just a woman, so it should be easy to fool her.

Why not take the opportunity to let her take power, and then let his own wife come to the palace frequently to speak good words, and then plead for mercy. Maybe Yixiu will be soft-hearted and release his own brother, the Ninth Brother?

If people like us were given the title of regent ministers, how could we have the nerve to personally issue an edict to disobey the late emperor?

But it’s different if Yixiu comes.

She is the sister-in-law, senior to us in terms of seniority, and the legitimate wife of the fourth brother. Now she is also the regent queen dowager. So doesn't everyone have to listen to her on the surface?

From now on, the blame will fall on my sister-in-law. How to handle government affairs? What does she, a woman, know? She still has to rely on her prince brothers.

All the disadvantages were repaired by Yixiu, while all the benefits were obtained by themselves.

Prince Heng was successfully persuaded by Hongxi, and then he began to persuade his subordinates not to cause trouble.

Thus, with everyone having their own ulterior motives, Hongtan ascended the throne, and Yixiu became the legitimate regent and the empress dowager with real power, recognized by everyone.
