A incompetent father and brother, a cheating greedy husband and a foolish son... The Empress really just had the worst luck in men. Even if she's a formidable villain, there's a handicap of having all the men in her family drag her down. She deserves it anyways, how many innocent (illegitimate) children had she killed? She should have just done that to her husband, and become queen regent.
100% agree. If she can plan all that, maybe she should have poured her attention to become the queen regent and make her son the crown prince herself? She have the brains for it
