Qing'an Zhiyu

In the eighth year of Qing'an in the Xiao Kingdom, seven-year-old Zhu Xiaoshao died of illness and was taken into the palace by his aunt, Princess Zhu, where he met King Zhao Xie Yu. King Zhao was the legitimate son of the late emperor. He was still in his mother's womb when the late emperor died, so the throne was inherited by Xie Xun, the son of the concubines. The Wei family, a relative behind Xie Yu, has been trying to regain the throne for Xie Yu. In the thirteenth year of Qing'an, the emperor lost two children in a row. The emperor suspected that Xie Yu killed the prince for his own status so that he could inherit the throne as his younger brother. The emperor who lost his son became more and more dependent on Tang Anxue, the female official around him, and developed feelings for her. The grievances between Zhu Xiaoshao's late father and the concubines were gradually revealed, and Zhu Xiaoshao gradually understood that she was just a puppet of the concubines. The concubines hoped that she could marry the emperor and become the queen, so as to use her hand to control the internal dynasty. The concubines took Tang Anxue away from the emperor and tortured her to death. Zhu Xiaoshao witnessed the whole process of Tang Anxue's murder, and her personality began to change.
