When the Dzungar Khan Moge came to pay homage, the eldest sister was licking her wounds in the Yongshou Palace and did not attend the banquet at all.

Without all the limelight at the banquet, Mog did not see his eldest sister.

Moge presented the gift of the Nine Links and asked the emperor for a prescription to treat the epidemic, but did not ask to marry the eldest sister.

Since the eldest sister did not need to marry, Prince Guo did not lead his troops out of the city, and Zhen Yuyao did not marry the Dzungar Khanate on behalf of the eldest sister.

For the next three years, the eldest sister was obsessed with the pain of losing her child.

Since the eldest sister did not meet the emperor, An Lingrong became the most favored concubine.

Ever since his eldest sister lost her son, Prince Guo often stayed in the palace, and rarely visited Yuan Heng when he occasionally returned to the palace.

Huanbi was not at all surprised by this and raised Yuanheng alone in the mansion.

Every one or two months, she would take Yuan Heng to see Concubine Shu.

When Yuan Heng was six years old, something happened to the Fourth Prince in the palace. It was announced to the public that the Fourth Prince had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was moved to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate.

In fact, the Fourth Prince's background was discovered by the Emperor.

Someone with ulterior motives discovered that when the Fourth Prince's biological mother was pregnant with him, she was also in contact with the Eighth Prince.

The emperor had always had doubts about the Fourth Prince's bloodline, and now that he had evidence, he directly performed a blood test.

The result confirmed the emperor's guess, but also made him furious.

The emperor fainted from anger. Although he did not have a stroke after waking up, he was ill for some time.

The third prince was adopted out, so the fourth prince could not be relied upon. The emperor then thought of the fifth prince who had been raised outside.

But the bad news finally came. The Fifth Prince was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, a strange disease that could take a person's life at a young age.

The emperor had no son to inherit the throne, so he anxiously started taking elixirs.

After taking the elixir for a while, the emperor felt that he was fine, so he indulged in reveling day and night.

When the emperor fainted again, he collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.

Zhen Huan was persuaded by Huanbi to step forward and take charge. Zhen Huan looked at Yuan Heng brought by Huanbi, and her fighting spirit was ignited in her heart.

In the following days, Zhen Huan concealed the news of the emperor's serious illness. While serving the emperor meticulously, she also controlled the entire harem.

The news of the emperor's death was released only after everything was ready.

The clan members and ministers entered the palace and took down the three imperial edicts from behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming".

The will was written in three copies, in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and Yuan Heng's name was clearly written on each copy.

The ministers didn't care, but the clan members started to make a fuss.

Zhen Huan directly summoned all the relatives and their families to the palace. The two sides confronted each other for three days, and Zhen Huan finally won.

Yuan Heng, who was only seven years old, received the imperial decree and ascended the throne to become the new emperor.

Zhen Huan was waiting for Yuan Heng to issue an edict to honor her as the empress dowager so that she could start ruling the country from behind the scenes and become the new empress dowager who intervened in government affairs.

But An Lingrong came with evidence of Zhen Huan's affair, and she was accompanied by Concubine Ying and Jiang Caiping.

The two men drugged Zhen Huan and she slept in a daze for three days.

When Zhen Huan woke up again, Huanbi was brought into the palace and lived in the Cining Palace under the pretext of taking care of the young emperor.

Although Huanbi could not be named empress dowager in name only according to the rules, she held the real power of the empress dowager.

When Zhen Huan was brought to the Cining Palace, she saw the arrogant Huanbi and her expression went from confusion to shock and then disappointment.

Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan leisurely and asked with a smile: "Sister, are you willing to leave the palace and stay with the prince?"

Zhen Huan said coldly: "I will become the Queen Mother, how can I leave the palace?"

Huanbi laughed twice, then clapped her hands. Xiao Lianzi and Prince Guo came out from behind the screen.
