At that time, she had been in the palace for nearly two years and still had no children, so she went to see a famous doctor. The doctor said that it would be extremely difficult for her to conceive and she might never have children in her lifetime.
But she was unwilling to give up. If she wanted to sit on the throne of queen, it would be illegal without her own children.
In fact, it is possible to adopt one, but the old emperor is not in good health, and there are only one or two princesses in the harem besides the prince Shen Xiaohan.
What's the use of a princess? A princess can't inherit the throne.
She wanted to recuperate, but after taking bitter medicine for several years, it was completely useless.

Shen Xiaohan naturally didn't know that Shen Xiaoli was his younger brother from the same mother.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Su laughed heartily, crazily, and continued laughing even when the wounds on his body split. "Shen Xiaohan, Shen Xiaohan, after all these years of scheming, you killed the person most important to you with your own hands. How do you feel?"
