Abandoned Concubine Takes Power: Phoenix Rules the Country

Three years ago, when the country was overthrown, the prince Xiao He abandoned He Yunwan and fled with his youngest son Cheng'er, pretending to be dead. I thought I was going to die, but I got reinforcements from Prince Nan, who helped Cheng'er ascend the throne and listen to the government behind the curtain. Three years later, Xiao He returned with his concubine An to seize the throne. I had already laid a dragnet to let him die in the imperial mausoleum, history books and the hearts of the world. He could provide no evidence, and his biological mother, the Queen Mother, did not recognize him. I beheaded him in front of everyone at the Meridian Gate to set the course for the imperial court. The war broke out again at the border, and Cheng'er took charge of the expedition in person. I sat in the army and drew wages from the bottom of the cauldron, and finally retreated to Beidi. After ten years of prosperity and stability, I, He Xinwan, will live up to the country and the people, and have no regrets in this life.
