Later, the ambitious Second Prince staged a successful coup in the palace, killing the benevolent and cultured Crown Prince Liu Hao. From that moment on, Emperor Liu Yi of the New Dynasty had no choice but to make the Second Prince his successor. The Emperor mourned the death of Crown Prince Liu Hao, filled with regret and self-blame. No brothers were on the path to imperial power, and fratricide played out under his watch.

再后来，野心勃勃的皇二子发动宫廷政变成功，斩杀了温文尔雅心怀天下的皇太子刘昊。

自此新王朝皇刘义被迫无奈只得立了二皇子为太子，而皇帝为太子刘昊之死伤心不已，自悔不已也自责不已。皇权路上无兄弟，手足相残居然就在自己眼皮子里下导演着。

Butterfly stepped forward as the New dynasty Emperor was about to fall. Did the Second Prince want to emulate Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who staged the Xuanwu Gate Incident and became Emperor?

就在新王朝皇快要倒下的时候，崔蝶站出来了，皇二子想学唐太宗李世民发动玄武门之变，然后当皇帝吗？

He was deluding himself. Butterfly would never allow such a thing to happen. If the gentle and cultured Crown Prince Liu Hao had succeeded to the throne, it might have been acceptable, as he would likely treat her well. But if the ruthless Second Prince were to take over, what would their future hold?

他想得美，她崔蝶绝不允许这样的事情发生，若是温儒尔雅的太子刘昊继承了皇位也就罢了，想来他不会亏待自己，可是若是让这位心狠手辣的二皇子继承大统，往后的日子那还了得？

She whispered advice into the New Dynasty Emperor\''s ear while also adopting a clever and capable prince to raise under her own name.

她给新王朝皇吹着枕头风，同时也挑了个看着聪明伶俐的皇子过继到自己名下养着。

The unparalleled wisdom of the child she raised, Cui Yu, who saw straight to the heart of any issue, was proof of her success. And now, raising a prince of her own would surely shake the heavens and move the spirits.

自己养着的崔玉聪慧无双，看问题一针见血，那足以证明了自己的成功。而现在自己养着个皇子也将必然惊天地泣鬼神。

A new era in the New Dynasty began with the struggle between the Second Prince and the Imperial Noble Consort factions.

新的新王朝以二皇子派，皇贵妃派的两派之争开始上演着。
