So, He tried every means to take care of his body, and finally succeeded in getting pregnant when the eldest prince was four years old.

It was just the pregnancy that was particularly difficult for He.

Not only did she have to resist Concubine Xie's various methods, but she also had to guard against the late Emperor.

Yes, you read that right, it seems that the late emperor did not want to see He give birth to a son from the bottom of his heart.

I don’t know that he really loves Concubine Xie, and for the sake of their mother and son, he would not hesitate to secretly hurt his first wife and legitimate son.

I don’t know that he had already calculated that he would not tolerate the blood of the He family flowing in the body of his son who would inherit the throne!

From pregnancy to delivery, He went through ninety-nine and eighty-one disasters, and every disaster was a fatal disaster.

Fortunately, the He family is smart enough, and there are nobles and nobles from the He family in the court, and the civil servants support her, and she also has a mysterious secret guard in her hands.

Only then did she give birth to the prince without any risk.

However, having a son does not mean everything will be fine.

The late emperor did not like to see his legitimate son at all, and often reprimanded him for being weak and incompetent.

Concubine Xie and many concubines framed the He family and their son. Even if the He family got the evidence, the late emperor would kill a scapegoat casually to get rid of the matter.

When the eldest prince was fourteen years old and the marriage negotiations began, the late emperor even went as far as to choose a princess and selected several wives and concubines for the eldest prince who were powerful from their natal families.

At this time, the Yong Dynasty had been established for more than ten years, and the late emperor had already taken complete control of everything.

And those nobles and court officials who came from the He family faction gradually moved closer to the late emperor.

Some of the late emperor's confidants, or officials from aristocratic families, began to clamor in the court about the matter of establishing an heir.

The candidate they want to recommend as the crown prince is naturally the eldest prince Zhao Yao.

Of course, there were still some courtiers who valued etiquette and rules and proposed that the legitimate son of the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty should be made the crown prince.

However, whether they are those who stand for the eldest prince or those who respect etiquette and law, they all "forgot" the covenant between the He and Zhao families.

He was secretly angry and unwilling, but she was not someone who only accumulated negative emotions.

For the sake of herself and her son, and for the justice of the He family, she chose to attack secretly.

Just when the late emperor personally came to help Concubine Xie in the "palace fight" and was about to bring down the queen He, the always strong and healthy late emperor actually fell ill due to a cold.

Once sick, he would become terminally ill in just a few days.

He was the queen and had secret guards in her hands. Whether it was her reputation or military power, she overshadowed Concubine Xie.

Concubine Xie, who had been arrogant in the harem for more than ten years, was, in the final analysis, just a beloved concubine relying on the favor of the late emperor.

Once the late emperor fell, she would no longer have the capital to show off her teeth.

The He family took control of the harem with thunderous power, and controlled the seriously ill late emperor to write an edict and make the second prince Zhao Gui the crown prince.

The late emperor was unwilling to give in. Before he died, he took a deep breath and appointed three ministers to Zhao Gui.

The late emperor was afraid. He was really afraid that the He family would change the name of the huge country from the Zhao family to the He family!

But he underestimated the cruelty of this woman, Mrs. He, and overestimated the ability of Concubine Xie and her son to face the crisis.

In this way, the late emperor died with hatred, the ten-year-old prince Zhao Gui ascended the throne, and He was revered as the queen mother.

The new king was still young and could not manage the affairs of the court personally, so the Queen Mother He and the three ministers who took care of his orders assisted him.

Empress Dowager He relied on her tenacity and planning to finally become the winner of the harem.

Based on her strength and hatred towards Xie's mother and son, it was considered kind of Queen Mother He not to kill Concubine Xie and the eldest prince immediately.

It's not the Queen Mother He or the Holy Mother, but she has clear grudges.

She knew that the person she should hate the most was the late emperor, and she had already taken her revenge.

As for the Xie family and the eldest prince, it was just a sword pushed out by the late emperor.

The Empress Dowager He did not want to commit more crimes, so she planned to spare the lives of the mother and son. She wanted to send the Xie family to guard the late emperor's grave, and to give the eldest prince a random title and keep them in captivity in the capital.

Twenty or thirty years later, the eldest prince fell from being a favored prince to a down-and-out clan member.

In this way, Empress Dowager He and the successor Emperor Yongcheng can also gain a good reputation.

However, Queen Mother He ignored one person - her own son Yongcheng Emperor Zhao Gui!

The Queen Mother He didn't want to kill Xie's mother and son, not because she didn't hate them, but because she didn't want to tarnish her reputation for a loser.

But she never expected that her biological son would actually regard his "enemy" as his biological brother.

Empress Dowager He could never understand that she, Emperor Yongcheng, and Xie's mother and son were natural enemies.

Either my mother and son will die, or Xie's mother and son will become Dao Zu.

It is impossible for the two parties to reconcile, let alone become a family.

It happened to be his own son, who felt that the powerful Queen Mother was too domineering and cold-hearted, and she actually treated the late emperor's beloved concubine harshly and imprisoned the late emperor's own children.

Queen Mother He regarded the eldest prince as a thorn in her side, but Emperor Yongcheng regarded Zhao Yao as his only brother.

He even disobeyed the Queen Mother He's will, conferred Zhao Yao as the King of Liang, and directly made Liangzhou, which was very close to the capital, as Zhao Yao's fief.

Concubine Xie Gui suffered in the imperial mausoleum for three years and became seriously ill. Emperor Yongcheng took her back to the capital without authorization on the pretext of recuperating her illness. He also let her live in Prince Liang's Mansion as a filial ancestor with children and grandchildren.

Queen Mother He was so angry that her own son almost vomited blood.

But she still endured it.

The son has no pro-government, no big marriage, and no heir.

His throne is not stable.

For the sake of her son, Queen Mother He endured her nausea and acquiesced to Emperor Yongcheng's various "disobediences".

After these events, Mrs. Hu finally understood what Empress Dowager He's weakness was - her son and country.

But now, the purpose of asking for the marriage of a noble daughter of a noble family for Emperor Yongcheng is not only to allow Emperor Yongcheng to take over the throne as soon as possible, but also to stabilize the country.

Queen Mother He really cared about her son, so she knew what was really good for her son.

There was no way she could allow her son to mess around on this important matter of marriage.

Can--

Seeing Emperor Yongcheng always shaking his head, Hu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
