The historical factions of the Fourth Prince Party and the Eighth Prince Party never even began to take shape before they became a thing of the past.
The fake succubus, the Eighth Prince, was highly recommended by the court officials because he was gentle and easy to talk to, and they wanted a "benevolent" emperor.
What a succubus! The Seventh Prince is exceptionally capable. He always manages to ensnare those with exceptional abilities, who then become his loyal followers, willing to die for him.
He was undoubtedly the number one succubus of the Qing Dynasty.
"So this is how you become the Empress Dowager?" Wang Shu still felt a little dazed.
The system said, "Don't act innocent after getting the benefit. It's all because you have a good son."
"Yes, my son is filial."
Wang Shu was overjoyed. Although the Imperial Concubine was good, she was only an Imperial Concubine. Kangxi was seriously injured, and the imperial physician said he was about to die. She would soon become the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of this, Wang Shu quickly suppressed the smile in her eyes, her expression turning worried, and then said, "Su Mu, help me to see the Emperor Emeritus."
Wang Shu herself was simple and unassuming. Although her hair was neat, it was very plain. She was not wearing makeup, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Emperor Kangxi was still living in the Qianqing Palace. When Wangshu arrived at the Qianqing Palace's bedroom, she saw Kangxi lying on the bed, his face pale and weak.
Tears streamed down her face, and overwhelmed with emotion, she cried out, "Your Majesty..."
Kangxi looked at Wangshu: "You've come, keep me company and have a word!"
"Please speak, I am listening."
“It has been almost thirty years since I first met you, Wangshu. I must take my leave now.”
"No, no, you promised to protect me for life. If you leave, what's the point of my life? Waaah..."
Emperor Kangxi felt sorry for Wangshu, who was over forty years old but still retained her charm. The sight of her shedding tears was still heartbreaking.
"Don't cry. I'm leaving. Don't do anything foolish. Yinfu is not even thirty yet. How can you bear to let him lose his father and mother one after another? Wangshu, in the next life, I will definitely not let you down."
"Your Majesty, I don't blame you. Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and there are many things you can't do. I understand Your Majesty. Please don't say any more..."
Who would hang themselves on the same tree in their next life? It's bad luck, so quickly refuse.
When Kangxi heard this, he laughed. There was no such thing as helplessness. Perhaps there was at the beginning, but later, he no longer needed to balance things out with whomever he favored.
"In my life, to have received such sincere affection, I can die without regrets."
"Your Majesty, please stop. I'm not that good."
"No, you do, you just don't understand!"
She understands, she understands everything, it's him who doesn't.
Emperor Kangxi talked for a long time, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
His health was very poor, and it was already a great achievement that he was able to return to the capital. For the next period of time, Wangshu personally took care of Kangxi until Yinfu ascended the throne, at which point Kangxi's last breath was finally released.
"Your Majesty! Waaaaah..."
With a shout from Wangshu and a cry, Emperor Kangxi passed away at the end of November of the 47th year of his reign.
Wang Shu was so grief-stricken at his funeral that he fell ill.
System: "You didn't even tell Kangxi you were faking it?"
Wang Shu felt a faint melancholy. Faced with Kangxi's death, she was not as sad as she appeared, but it was impossible for her to be completely unaffected.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed very good to her. From Consort Chun to Imperial Concubine Chun, he did not always side with her, but he certainly gave her the best.
"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Why should I shatter this illusion? If someone can show that they love another person deeply for a lifetime, then the fake becomes real. What's real and what's fake isn't that important."
"I don't understand!"
"You are the system; if you understood everything, you wouldn't be the system anymore."
Yinfu was an ambitious and enterprising emperor. After ascending the throne, he carried out sweeping reforms. Under the guidance of Wangshu, he discovered the changes in the West and was naturally unafraid of change.
Meanwhile, Wang Shu, who had been promoted to Empress Dowager, used the excuse that the capital was a place of sorrow to lead a large entourage on a tour of the Qing Dynasty, living the life of a happy widow.
After decades of a happy reign as Empress Dowager, she passed away peacefully in her old age and finally returned to the modern world she had always longed for. Although she felt a sense of loss and things had changed, she had finally come back.
She never forgot the way she came.
"System, have a safe journey, goodbye."
"Thank you, and I wish you all the best. Goodbye."
"I will!"
