Yin Shuangshuang was ill for nearly half a month, drinking bitter herbal medicine every day. Yin Shuangshuang truly experienced what it felt like to be a medicine jar; it was terrible!
Fortunately, there was also good news during her illness. First, there was good news from the Emperor's side: the Zhou Family, a major aristocratic family, had finally been eradicated. Along with them, the Emperor also conveniently removed seven or eight small and medium-sized aristocratic families closely related to the Zhou Family.
This immediately left many official positions vacant. Apart from those divided by other aristocratic families, the Emperor retained most of the positions for his own people.
Luckily, even though the reform had previously failed, the Emperor did not give up and had secretly been nurturing his own people. Although there were not many, they barely managed to occupy those positions.
