With these thoughts, Princess Xi couldn't help but recall the events that had just transpired.
Earlier, she told Qiu Tu that she hoped to reclaim her power in a "peaceful" manner.
However, Qiu Tu bluntly shattered her illusions.
Because Qiu Tu told her... wanting her own son to succeed was, in a way, also usurping the throne.
The reason is simple.
The Sixth Sanctuary is not a true feudal imperial system, but rather a "dual monarchy constitutional system."
This system is inherently immature—resulting from a compromise between the empire's rulers and the ruling class, often seen in countries with feudal remnants.
Although the state's head remains a monarch with absolute authority in such political systems,
many loopholes have been opened up, such as allowing party activities, political groups, an established cabinet, and a parliament to exercise legislative power, etc.
The Kou family has come to control the entire nation through the cabinet and the parliament.
