[Double Cleansing + Full Story of Solitary Petting + Palace Fighting + Mind Reading]
[Concubine Shirakiri Kuro who looks doting and arrogant but actually just wants to lie down VS Emperor Shirakiri Kuro who looks as gentle as jade but is actually cold and heartless]
Shen Qing'ao was a famously sickly beauty, gasping for every three steps and coughing every five steps. Although the princes and nobles in the capital did not like her sickly body, they liked the power behind her.
Shen Qingao's great-grandfather and Emperor Taizu conquered a prosperous territory together, and was personally named Duke of Fu by Emperor Taizu. He was given an elixir book and an iron certificate, and the title was passed down from generation to generation.
Shen Qingao's grandfather, father, and brother all made great achievements in the court, not to mention that Shen Qingao's aunt was still the queen, and her cousin He Jiuxiao was still the prince.
All the princes and nobles of the Dasheng Dynasty did not want to pick this delicate flower into their own courtyards, but unfortunately, Shen Qingao's aunt had already clearly hinted that Shen Qingao would become their royal family before she was born.
Although everyone was a little regretful, they felt it was reasonable.
After Shen Qing'ao passed away, the late emperor issued an imperial edict and named Shen Qing'ao the crown prince's concubine and Xie Shuhan the crown prince's concubine.
After He Jiuxiao ascended the throne, Shen Qingao became the imperial concubine, and Xie Shuhan became the queen. Everyone knew that if it weren't for the imperial concubine's poor health, the position of queen would have gone to the imperial concubine.
Although the imperial concubine did not get the position of queen, half of the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace is in the hands of the imperial concubine.
