When her father-in-law Chagatai died in 1242, her son inherited the throne. Since he was a minor, she became his regent, a role she fulfilled for four years.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jackson |first=Guida M. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6y4DTgEkMCoC&dq=Ebuskun&pg=PA201 |title=Women Leaders of Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Pacific |date=2009 |publisher=Xlibris Corporation |isbn=978-1-4415-5843-5 |language=en}}</ref>

She lost power when the new grand khan Güyük Khan replaced her son Qara Hülëgü with Yesü Möngke. Within two years, however, Güyük died, and Mongke restored Hülëgü and Ebuskun to their former positions. Shortly afterwards, Hülëgü also died; after this point, Ebuskun is no longer mentioned. Hülëgü's throne was passed to his wife, Organah Khatun.<ref name=":0" />
