Chapter 206: The Zhang Family is Wiped Out, Past Scandals Resurface

In her early years, the Empress was but a lowly medical girl in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Later, through her own effort, she rose step by step amid the ebb and flow of the palace, eventually compelling the Emperor to set aside all opposing views and elevate her to the position of Empress. Her means and magnanimity were indeed exemplary within the palace.

However, over these years, the Emperor's health has declined day by day, and imperial power has gradually shifted to the Crown Prince. Zhang Lanyi, finding no outlet for her ambitions, has had to curtail her actions somewhat.

Because of this, some veteran ministers in the court who disapproved of her conduct began to ally secretly against her, determined to nail this "Demon Empress" to the pillar of shame before their Emperor passed away.
