When Zhu Yixiu was confined in Fengyi Palace, what she thought about most was not the empress's throne or Xuan Ling, but her elder sister, Zhu Rouze, who had died at her hands, and the child she had lost young.
She had been locked away in Fengyi Palace for so long that she could no longer remember why she had harmed her sister.
When Zhu Yixiu was reborn...
She would protect her sister, raise her child, fight Xuan Ling, and stand against the Empress Dowager.
“I am willing to descend into the Avici Hell, so long as my Hong'er can live a safe and happy life.”
“I lost my sister once. I won't let it happen a second time.”

Theme: Only the bonds of family are truly real.
Everything else is easy to say. As a queen, how can the eldest prince still be innocent even though he has no name for three years since he was born? This is just a matter of her words. She can push Xuan Ling to Yixiu Palace, or directly name her as the queen.
So when will Xuan Ling die? It is said that the prince will be able to rule in person at the age of 15 or 16, so he can kill Xuan Ling before Hu Yunrong enters the palace in the 17th year of Qianyuan. How good are the two empress dowagers?
Protecting my sister? My sister is pregnant and hooking up with her brother-in-law's sister? Even in modern times, the fate of being scolded is that in ancient times, monarchy was supreme and could not be explained clearly.
If you are really innocent, you won't have no imperial doctor to treat you when the eldest prince is sick. In other words, he is a prince, no matter how unfavored he is, he is still a prince. Without other people's instructions, wouldn't there be no imperial doctor to see him? And even if she is really innocent, the harm she has caused to others is already there. Not that innocence can offset it. To put it mildly, innocence is to say the least to say, she is White Lotus, and she is a daughter to be married. No matter how innocent she is, it is impossible for a legitimate daughter of the emperor's family to not understand all the rules. Let's just say that she is pampered by her family, but even a princess knows some rules that she should learn. A legitimate daughter should know a few things no matter how pampered she is.
The one that was originally in my favorites was gone, and it took me a long time to find it, because Xuan Ling and everyone's life was a mess. They were separated from their loved ones, their best friends were separated, and their sister was resentful. Even if she was about to die after giving birth, she still had to leave a life-saving charm for her sister. Everything Wan Wan cared about was directly or by Xuan Ling. Indirect destruction, Wan Wan is called Linglong in the book. No matter how incomprehensible the underworld is, can't you feel that you are not feeling well? Maybe in the end, it is better to help your sister if you have no regrets than to die. A dog man scolds you ten thousand times a day is not too much. Brother Bao here is going to be in trouble when he grows up. I will send him to the west, Ma Liu, thank you for the space.
For the Queen Mother, the favored queen mother + the birth mother of the eldest son of the emperor are double insurance. If the two of them do not fight with each other, they can only protect the one who wins. As for Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan is already unstoppable. It is not just a guarantee that she can be saved. Besides, the queen does not have much sincerity towards the queen mother and can only wear away her little affection. A queen who is not favored and a beloved concubine who knows how to advance and retreat can still be chosen. For example, Zhu Yixiu was saved once in the end.
Doesn't Xuan Ling only care about Rouze's surroundings and power? Does he care about others such as Concubine Hua and Mei Zhuang?
This is true. It is estimated that the only true lovers in the harem who love Xuan Ling are Concubine Hua who does not know the truth about Huan Yixiang, and Xu Yanyi
I think so. The Dog Emperor doesn't care about his eldest son at all.
This kind of mentality of the Zhu family is normal. Let me give you an example. The Tong family of Kangxi's mother family is known as the Tong Banchao. Is it really that talented? But the emperor gave him more opportunities. The real talent generation must be that of Empress Qianlong's Fucha family, where both the older and younger generations have talents. The Tong family's daughters were given away one by one. Unfortunately, Kangxi was not pregnant, perhaps out of fear.
