Empresses in the Palace: Prince Gu Only Wants to Seize the Throne

Before Prince Gujun drank the poisoned wine, he whispered in my ear: “Huan’er, our child will rule the world.”

I believed him. For that, I killed Yongzheng with my own hands and ruled from behind the curtain.

It was as pristine as new, without a trace of the Yellow River’s water.

A chill ran down my spine.

Our chance encounter at Tonghuatai was a lie; his devotion at Ganlu Temple was a lie; even his death had been part of a scheme!

He never loved me. He loved this face of mine, so much like Chun Yuan’s, that could help his son claim the throne!

Yunli, you planned for everything. But did you ever foresee...

that the one who would finally sit on the dragon throne would be the Hongli I chose?
