The Empress's own words:
Gu is the seventh empress of the Beishan Kingdom. When she ascended the throne, she handed over her power to the most trusted Prime Minister Ling due to her young age. However, she did not expect it to endanger her, and she eventually became the empress in name only. In order to regain his power, Gu had to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. When Ling believed in Ren Gu, he gave him the most fatal blow!
Ling Xiang's autobiography:
I am the Ling Prime Minister of Beishan Kingdom. I was entrusted by the late emperor to assist the young emperor. In order to consolidate her position, I silently helped her remove the cancer, but I did not want to make her afraid. He knew what he was thinking, but he didn't dare to express his loyalty, so he only guarded him silently. In the end... My Majesty became a wise king as he wished! And it's time for me to step aside!
Intention: A cowardly and hard-hearted empress
