Zhen Huan's husband, the emperor she called "Silang" when she was in love, finally ascended the throne after tragic competition between the nine sons for the throne.
In order to save this position he exchanged for his life, he tried to eliminate the threat at all costs: he forbids the younger brother of a mother, forcing the queen mother to kill her lover, kill the child in Huafei , make the concubine who holds military power in her mother's family unable to give birth, and destroys the Nian clan who has made contributions to supporting him...

It can be seen how much he attaches importance to the throne, and even the heir to the throne, he will never allow others to fall behind. Just look at him, he has performed a blood test for his sixth prince, Hongshu, who has loved most, and you will know.
However, the emperor never dreamed that Zhen Huan finally let the two heirs of the throne besides his biological sons, but descendants of his rival. This practice is undoubtedly the "most vicious" revenge on the emperor.

1. After the emperor passed away, the son of Wen Taiyi inherited the throne.
We all know that in the play, Shen Meizhuang gave birth to his daughter Jinghe, and died sadly in the arms of Doctor Wen.
However, in the original work, Mei Zhuang gave birth to a son, who was called "Han'er" by Zhen Huan. This son is not the emperor's, but the biological flesh and blood of Doctor Wen.
Later, Zhen Huan personally raised Han'er and treated her as her own. Han'er is also extremely filial to Zhen Huan.

After the death of the emperor, Zhen Huan supported Han'er to take the throne. Han'er posthumously named his biological mother Shen Meizhuang "Empress Dowager Zhaohuiyi'an", and Zhen Huan, the adoptive mother, became the legitimate empress dowager.
Because Han'er was young, the empress dowager Zhen Huan had to rule the country from behind the curtain, but she often refused to come forward with an illness, but instead handed over the burden of assistance to the emperor's younger brother, Han'er's uncle, which corresponds to Zhen Yurao's husband in the play.
Think about it, this emperor uncle and Han'er who sits on the throne are not his uncle and nephew. The emperor probably never dreamed that he had firmly grasped the imperial power for his whole life and eventually fell into the trap of others. This Han'er really had no blood relationship with him.
is really ridiculous.


2. The son of the Tai Doctor Wen resigned, and the great-grandson of Prince Guo inherited the throne. After Meizhuang's son succeeded to the throne, Zhen Huan decided to let her own son, the Sixth Prince Hongshu, be her son for Prince Guo.
Yu Rao was shocked when she heard this and thought that the Sixth Prince was Zhen Huan's only son, how could she lose her status as a royal descendant? That is absolutely impossible.
However, Zhen Huan said this:

Parents' beloved son must have far-reaching plans for it. Run'er is not my biological child. I am now in the position of the empress dowager. How many people are afraid that I will be selfish and deposed Run'er in the future. I have already pushed the suspicion of being out of the curtain, and I have to place the Sixth Prince well, so as to avoid the two palaces having a rift and hurt the relationship between mother and son, and also prevent the Sixth Prince from getting involved in the battle between emperors and being uneasy for life. Only when he is out of the lineage and there is no possibility of succession, can he be kept safe forever.
So, Zhen Huan's only son was adopted to the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. People outside, even Yu Rao, didn't know where the Sixth Prince Hong Shu was adopted, and clearly recognized his ancestors, because his true identity was the child of Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.

Later, Meizhuang's son had no descendants, and the grandson of the sixth prince Hongxiu, the great-grandson of Prince Guo, and Zhen Huan's great-grandson, was welcomed into the palace and served on the throne.
In this way, neither of the two heirs after the emperor's death were his own sons.
Thinking about the time when the emperor was alive, because the late emperor loved Prince Guo, he originally wanted to pass the throne to Prince Guo, which made the emperor full of jealousy and wary of Prince Guo. Finally, when Prince Guo led his troops out of the pass to rescue Zhen Huan, he killed him to eliminate future troubles when Prince Guo made achievements in the border and had a good reputation.

But he never expected that because of Zhen Huan's first operation, the throne had been reincarnated and fell into the hands of Prince Guo's lineage again.
It’s really a mantis stalking the cicada, and the oriole is behind! If the emperor knew these truths, how angry and desperate would he be!
3. Except for Meizhuang and Zhen Huan’s son, what happened to the other children in the palace?
Princess Wen Yi .

Princess Wen Yi, the daughter of Concubine Cao, should be the first child to appear in the palace. She was used as a tool for favor by Concubine Hua. She took a lot of sleeping pills in her cradle and was infected with cassava flour and vomited and diarrhea. It looked really heartbreaking.
Later, Concubine Cao took advantage of Concubine Hua and was drugged by the empress dowager and killed her. Zhen Huan designed to let Duanfei adopt Princess Wen Yi. Under the guidance of Concubine Duan, Princess Wen Yi grew up to be a well-educated, gentle and kind woman, without any of the sinister thoughts of her mother, Concubine Cao.
Princess Wen Yi, who was regarded as the pearl in her hand by Concubine Duan, will naturally have a good son-in-law in the future and live a happy life.

Yuanche Prince.
Meng Jingxian and Yuan Che, the son of Prince Guo, were raised by Zhen Yuraohe. He is the young prince who fainted after being looked at for a long time in the play, because the emperor heard from his servants that, "The little prince and the sixth prince Hongxu look too similar, just like brothers."
Zhen Yurao and Shen Beile only had one daughter after marriage, which made Yurao very depressed. She ran to complain to Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan asked her to adopt Yuan Che.

But Yu Rao was worried, so the only incense in the county prince's mansion was cut off, so hesitated. It was not until Zhen Huan said that she had decided to let her son Hongxu enter the Siguo County Prince's Mansion that Yu Rao agreed.
And Yuan Che is the child born by Meng Jingxian to fight to the death, and is also the third child of Prince Guo.
Since Meng Jingxian, Guojun Wang and Huanbi passed away one after another, Yuan Che has been fostering Zhen Yurao. She has always loved this child very much, and Yuan Che also treats Zhen Yurao and Shen Beile as biological parents.
I believe that with the care of their couple, this child will have a happy life.

1 Princess of the Lunar Moon .
Zhen Huan and the emperor's biological daughter Princess Longyue, raised by Concubine Jing .
The emperor was critically ill, and the incidents in the palace happened one after another. Zhen Huan was a little helpless. Looking around, there were not many people in the palace who could trust them.

So Zhen Huan sincerely reminded Cui Jinxi that she wanted Cui Jinxi to assist Princess Longyue in an endless manner, just like helping herself, don’t treat Longyue as a princess, just as she treats her own child, and always give some advice.
Jinxi looked at Zhen Huan and knelt down and promised: I will do my best to assist the princess - no, I will not be able to assist her as an ordinary princess, but as the future princess of the country, or a mother of the country.

This conversation is meaningful and also reveals that Princess Longyue will become the king who controls the stability of the harem and assists the previous dynasty after Zhen Huan dies in the future.
No matter how the adults in the palace fight, fortunately these children have a good home in the end. I just don’t know if Zhen Huan’s Silang is satisfied with Zhen Huan’s arrangements?
