Noble and blissful for a lifetime.
This is the most fitting portrayal of Empress Su Zhaohua's life.
Emperor Yun Qi is the only emperor in the five hundred-year history of the Da Lie Dynasty who never took a concubine.
According to historical records, Emperor Zhao reigned for twenty years and then abdicated in favor of his only legitimate son, Emperor Xian Yuan Zhao. After that, he and Empress Wen retired to the Southern Mountain Palace, living long and happily.
This couple has become a favorite subject for novels and TV dramas in later generations.
When Gu Shengyin died, she was surrounded by the descendants of the Imperial Family, and Yuan Zhao, who had ascended as Emperor, cried before her like a child.
"Don't cry, Zhaozhao, I'm going to join your father," she said. The Retired Emperor had passed away a month prior; how could she leave him waiting for too long?
Amidst the sound of weeping, she peacefully closed her eyes.
