In the middle of the Jie Dynasty, Emperor Daxing passed away, and mourning broke out throughout the palace.
Outside the gate of Zi Palace where Emperor Daxing was parked, Empress Xu led Shen Guifei and a group of concubines, dressed in plain clothes, kneeling all over the floor. Most of these concubines were just young women in their early twenties.
After waiting for the national mourning to end, because Empress Xu had no children, the ministers had no choice but to act in accordance with Emperor Daxing's secret appointment of a crown prince, and designated Shen Guibi's son as the heir to the throne.
