?Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Illegitimate Position of the Empress Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Illegitimate Position of the Empress Duke Uncle Yun, in order to have a Yun Family woman become the Empress, actually devised plans to ruin the reputation of several other candidates for the Crown Princess Consort!

At that time, the late emperor was selecting a consort for the Crown Prince, among whom were several women whose appearance, family background, and character were not inferior to the current Empress.

The current Empress was merely one of the alternatives.

Duke Uncle Yun first secretly pushed one woman into the river and had prepared a concubine-born son of the Yun Family beforehand to rescue her, and because her clothing was disheveled and there was physical contact, the woman had to marry the Yun Family concubine-born son.

The second woman, from a more distinguished family and known as a talented lady, was betrayed by Duke Uncle Yun who bribed a servant to drug her, causing her to be violated by the servant. Unable to bear the disgrace, she hanged herself, but her family, valuing their reputation, claimed she died of a sudden illness.

The third woman, who never left her household and adhered to strict family rules that did not allow any men, including male servants, into the back courtyard, was not out of Duke Uncle Yun’s reach. He repeated his old technique but bribed a maid this time to add “something” to her food, causing her face to break out in red rashes, thus preventing her from entering the palace to be seen by the Emperor.

The remaining women, whose family backgrounds were inferior to that of the Yun Family’s woman, ensured that the Yun Family woman could become the principal wife of the Crown Prince; the others were just concubines and good concubines. Duke Uncle Yun then stopped his manipulations to avoid detection.

Things went as Duke Uncle Yun had anticipated; the Yun Family woman successfully became the Crown Princess Consort and three years later became the Empress, honored as the mother of the nation.

This matter was exposed by a confidant by Duke Uncle Yun’s side.
