Imperial Empress of South Yue/Spoilers

History
The Imperial Empress had strong backing of her Father who was a General in the Fourth Realm. However, she was not loved by the Emperor. He almost never went to the Imperial Empress’ place before Empress Ming gave birth. The Imperial Empress and Empress Ming fell pregnant at almost the same time. Thus, the two Empresses used all their strength to give birth to the eldest son as the position of the eldest son would naturally have an impact on her status.

Empress Ming was the first to enter labor, but it was very difficult. After three days and nights, she had yet to give birth to His Royal Highness Prince Yu. As a result, the Imperial Empress who began later, gave birth to the Crown Prince. Thus, ensuring that she had even better status.

With this new power, the Imperial Empress spread rumors that Empress Ming was "without a clear background" and thus had a difficult birth. She then had Empress Ming placed under house arrest so rumors spread that she died giving birth. With her father as her powerful backer and the mother of the 1st Prince, the Imperial Empress' status was unshakeable.

In secret, her and her son would bully Empress Ming and Prince Yu. When Li Mo Ying was six, Empress Ming died because of the Imperial Empress who was trying to stabilize her position. After Empress Ming died, the Imperial Empress proclaimed that she would adopt Prince Yu to the Emperor.
