So when Aaudo swapped her son with the other she swapped Jinshi for the other son so that Jinshi could live a better life. When the son she had died, and with Jinshi growing up looking so much like Aaudo it was revealed that they were swapped. But since Jinshi was already raised as the current emperor’s brother he was probably just kept as so “in name.” But in reality Jinshi’s the current emperor’s son?? this would explain why aaudo and jinshi look alike, why the emperor’s brother is never shown, and why they say that the brother doesn’t have much power. Because he isn’t actually his brother.
she didn't give her son to be empress son. The palace people did. The empress' son (current emperor's brother) was stillborn so they have idea to take Aaduo's son to replace it. She actually against it but nothing she could do. Empress' son > prince concubine's son afterall.
although there's no explicit narration, Jinshi is aware of his status and his relationship with Aaduo and the emperor.
The reason why emperor's brother is never shown is different matter tho.
in the first place, status as emperor's sibling doesn't really have any power other than royalty status.









I’m trying real hard to not hate on Doh so much especially with the abusive parents and all the sh*t she is being dragged through but not only did she get Taesoo fired, kick him out, never stand up for him and what he was working for, she’s gonna still steal his work and take the credit for it ?? please get exposed -.-
