The Empress felt a strong sense of crisis.

For so many years, she had painstakingly maintained her position. After the death of her legitimate son, she had been unable to give birth for many years, yet she still had to put great effort into preserving her status.

She was the Empress. As long as she did not commit any fundamental mistakes, the Emperor and the Imperial Court would not easily move against her even if she had no offspring.

As long as the Emperor was well, her position as the Empress was secure.

But the question was, could the Emperor remain well?

He was aging, his health shrinking day by day.

The Crown Prince was willful and his relation with her was cold. If he ascends to the throne, she would not see good days.

Her supporting family would then be doomed.

For her family, the Empress knew, she must persist no matter how difficult.

She had to let someone she could control to inherit the position.

Initially, she had her eyes on the Sixth Imperial Prince.
