49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
Go Sanggung stared at the Empress in confusion, unable to understand why the conversation had suddenly veered in that direction.
“Your Majesty, I do not fully comprehend your esteemed opinion.”
Eventually, Go Sanggung spoke honestly.
The Empress could not reveal that Yo Yohwa was a woman, so she merely leaned her arm on the nearby table and gave a meaningful smile.
It was not a careless remark. The more the Empress thought about her idea, the more it seemed like an excellent plan.
All emperors of Hwa Eum had been men. The Empress had tried hard to bear a son but had given birth only to four daughters.
Especially when delivering her youngest, she had pushed herself too hard, and the royal physician warned her that another pregnancy would endanger her life.
Thinking, “Next time, next time,” she kept trying to conceive again, but when everything ultimately came to nothing, she was deeply disappointed.
The Fifth and Eighth Princesses were cleverer than the other princes, but what good did that do?
Moreover, the Emperor had eight robust sons. There were fifteen imperial grandchildren in total, seven of whom were princesses—and four of those seven were her own daughters.
It was infuriating, yet the next succession would inevitably go to a prince born of a consort. If that happened, the Empress would become one of the two Dowager Empresses, forced to watch someone once beneath her rise above her—regardless of which prince ascended.
Both the Empress and the Emperor’s birth mother would attain the rank of Dowager Empress, but fundamentally, they were equals.
For the Empress, even being placed on equal footing with a mere consort was unpleasant; and since the Emperor naturally favored his own mother, historically, the birth mother always held greater authority between the two Dowagers.
This remained true even if the Empress raised a prince as her own—making it an unbearable situation for her.
Thus, after much deliberation with her natal family, the Empress decided to place one of her two clever daughters on the throne.
