Borrowing a Corpse and Returning It to the Court

On the first day of March in the tenth year of Yongchang, the emperor died suddenly in the secret room of Yangxin Hall. No harm, no poison, no one around. The maid on duty, Shen Qiuci, pushed open the door and entered. She saw the dragon's body was stiff and cold, and his eyes were wide open. Before she could react, there was a knock on the door: "Your Majesty, can you wake up? King Qi wants to see you." According to the ancestral system, the emperor must issue a posthumous edict on the day of his death, otherwise the six kings will fight for the throne and the capital will become a sea of blood. But where is the edict? What was the cause of death? Who is the murderer? She only knows: if she opens the door now, she will die first; if she tells the truth, the world will be in chaos. Her only choice was to let the emperor continue to "live" for three days. He deceived the King of Qi by issuing an edict through a curtain, stabilizing the Taifu by freezing his body, and imitating the holy voice to deal with officials... Every step is walking on the tip of a knife, and every moment may be doomed. What's even more frightening is that a note says: "You will die in three days too." In the three-day countdown, she danced with death; in the undercurrent of the court, she single-handedly established the foundation of the country. This is a life and death game between a palace maid and a powerful minister, and it is also a story about ordinary people being forced to become heroes.
