Chapter 349 - Chapter 349 Chapter 349 The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress (Conclusion) Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress (Conclusion) Zhang Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Shengyin pretended not to recognize her, luckily thinking that the Empress was not planning to pursue the matter.

Unfortunately, she rejoiced too soon.

The day after returning to the mansion, the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion received two nannies sent by the palace, saying that the Crown Princess’s etiquette still needed improvement.

Actually, Gu Shengyin didn’t need those two nannies for anything; she knew Zhang Mingshu’s character well. Even if she did nothing, the mere thought of her would terrify Zhang Mingshu to death.

Sure enough, Zhang Mingshu became restless day and night. She always felt that the two nannies had ill intentions and were definitely sent by the Empress to persecute her.

She began to lose sleep, and the consequence of not resting well was that Zhang Mingshu became hysterical and extremely irritable.

Qin Yuanzheng, who was already fed up with her, naturally became even less tolerant of her.

Especially since Qin Yuanzheng was not favored by Qin Shao, had nothing but an empty title, and was extremely frustrated, he simply moved out of the main courtyard.

But what struck Zhang Mingshu the most was one day, after a meal, she suffered relentless dull pain in her lower abdomen. By the time the doctor arrived, she was already bleeding.

Because her mind was unstable, coupled with the fact that she had lost her appetite for days and her body was extremely weak, she was unable to sustain her two-month pregnancy, and this injury meant that from then on, it would be difficult for her to have children.

This was the greatest blow to a woman.

Zhang Mingshu’s temperament changed drastically, cursing day and night. Qin Yuanzheng, who initially felt sorry for her miscarriage, quickly lost his patience. Under the Princess Consort of Zhenbei’s arrangement, he took two charming concubines into his home.

That was the end of Zhang Mingshu’s life.

Qin Yuanzheng was not much better. Disfavored by the emperor, he had no other income but his stipend. The Prince’s Mansion used to have many shops and fertile fields, but unfortunately, the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion didn’t manage them, allowing underlings to deceive and mooch, while everyone in the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion was a spendthrift.

The whole Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion declined at a horrifying pace.

From there, there were no more issues concerning Gu Shengyin.

She is now extremely precious.

The reason being that not long ago, she was diagnosed with a pregnancy of over a month.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed. She had been looking forward to this day for many years and did not expect the Empress to have good news just two months after her grand wedding.

The rewards from Shoukang Palace haven’t stopped since the news came.

As for Qin Shao, needless to say, from the moment he learned that Gu Shengyin was pregnant, he wished he could stay by the Empress’s side every moment of the day.

As for those unblinking officials in the Imperial Court who suggested that “His Majesty should expand the harem to spread the Imperial family’s branches and leaves,” they were directly dismissed from their positions by him after he accused them of wanting to “ruin the relationship between me and the Empress, causing instability in the harem and the state” and since then, no one dared to mention it again.

Those who were not satisfied turned to the Empress Dowager, hoping she could persuade His Majesty.

The Empress Dowager, now preoccupied with the Empress’s pregnancy, naturally did not appreciate such talk and bluntly said, “If you gentlemen are truly that idle, I can inform His Majesty.”

The attitudes of the Emperor and Empress Dowager made the position of the Empress Central Palace clear to everyone.

Gu Shengyin, content, just focused on nurturing her fetus until the full ten months passed, and the fruits were ripe for the picking.

On the day when the first light of dawn broke through the darkness, the Empress delivered a pair of dragon and phoenix twins in Kunyi Palace.

Both palaces were overjoyed, and an amnesty was declared throughout the land.

Emperor Xiande reigned for thirty years and, together with the Empress, had three sons and one daughter. In the 30th year of Xiande, the throne was passed to the eldest son, who traveled with the Empress through Qi Country.

This historical pair of loving sovereigns left the world with endless reverie. Their relationship, with no one else coming between them, also became the legendary envy of countless people.
