In November, an autumn wind blew down the leaves in the capital.

Qin Yanning was already a little pregnant at this time, so Shen Ziyu no longer allowed her to go out. He only asked his secret guards to compile the news that Qin Yanning was interested in and send it to her.

Although Shen Ziyu is busy every day, he still insists on making some time every day to have meals with Qin Yanning.

Qin Yanning knew that Shen Ziyu was at a critical moment in the fight for the throne, so he often urged him to attend to official duties.

Whenever this happened, Shen Ziyu would carefully place his hand on Qin Yanning's belly and say, "Our children are reluctant to leave their father. Let me stay with you for a while."

But Qin Yanning knew that Shen Ziyu would secretly go to the study to handle things every night after she fell asleep.

All the time he spent with her was gained by Shen Ziyu sacrificing his own rest.

Although Xu Guanlan was a good doctor, he was not proficient in gynecology, so he had never diagnosed that Qin Yanning was pregnant with twins.

Qin Yanning also had no intention of letting Shen Ziyu and Concubine Sun know about this. These two people already loved her enough, and if they knew that she was pregnant with twins.

Qin Yanning was afraid that they would hold him in their hands.

Qin Yanning narrowed her eyes as she thought about it. Chang Yin brought in a stack of documents, and she finally opened her eyes.

"Princess, these are some recent events that happened in Prince Shishi's residence, as well as a letter from Miss Zhaozhao to you."

Qin Yanning reached out to take the document and read it quickly.

The Seventh Prince's Mansion was in chaos as Qin Yanning had expected. Shen Yuanan wanted to rely on women to hold on to power, so he was destined to mediate between the women.

But which of the three women he married was mortal?

Meng Yunzhu has been in love with Shen Yuanan for a long time, and relies on her status as the legal wife to often bully Kong Zhiyao and Qin Yurou.

After all, Kong Zhiyao still has the Kong family to rely on, and Shen Yuanan also protects her a lot for the sake of the Kong family.

Qin Yurou is different. The Qin family is not of high status to begin with, and now outsiders all know that there is a disagreement between Qin Yanning and her, so Meng Yunzhu is even more ruthless towards her.

Three women in one drama, these three people are having a lot of fun fighting in the small mansion of the Seventh Prince.

Originally, Shen Yuanan felt a little pity for Qin Yurou, after all, they had a history.

However, Shen Yuanan did not dare to offend Meng Yunzhu too much. Recently, the Kong family had offended some big shot, and several people in the Kong family had been dismissed in the past few months.

Shen Yuanan also believed that if the Kong family really became powerless one day, he would still have Meng Yunzhu's two brothers to rely on.

Therefore, although he felt sorry for Qin Yurou being forced by Meng Yunzhu to set rules, he never said anything openly and only comforted her a few times in private.

As time went by, Qin Yurou felt more and more distorted in her heart.

Zhou Xue was drugged to make her mute, Old Lady Qin was acting crazy every day, and Qin Hongan's heart was tied to Meng Zhaozhao.

Qin Yurou didn't know where to start the pain in her heart, which led to even greater bitter consequences.

At the beginning of the month, Meng Yunzhu just became pregnant, and Qin Yurou sprinkled half a bottle of osmanthus oil on the road she had to pass, causing Meng Yunzhu to have a miscarriage.

After this incident, Shen Yuanan completely disliked Qin Yurou and locked her in his yard to reflect on her actions.

It’s a pity that Qin Yurou could never have imagined that Meng Yunzhu was not pregnant at all, and everything she did was to lure her and Kong Zhiyao into the trap.

Who knew that before Kong Zhiyao could make a move, Qin Yurou took action first.

After watching it, Qin Yanning could only sigh that she really wanted to go to Shen Yuanan’s prince’s mansion to watch the show.

Qin Yanning handed the paper in his hand to Lanyue beside him. Lanyue took it and hurried out to burn all the papers.

If Qin Yanning hadn't been curious, these things would not have been written down, so every time she finished reading them, she would ask Lan Yue to burn them.

Meng Zhaozhao didn't write anything in the letter, just saying that everything was fine in the Qin Mansion recently.

Qin Yanning knew that Meng Zhaozhao was telling her that everything was normal. Qin Hongan had been sticking to her very closely lately, so she didn't want to say it too clearly.

After reading the letter, Qin Yanning sent someone to deliver two sets of headgear to Meng Zhaozhao.

Although Meng Zhaozhao herself was willing to make this deal with her, Qin Yanning still felt that Meng Zhaozhao had made a great sacrifice by marrying her scumbag father.

In the blink of an eye, it was December. Before New Year's Eve, Shen Ziyu discussed with several of his advisers and made a risky decision.

Before doing this, Shen Ziyu once asked Qin Yanning if he was afraid.

Qin Yanning simply held his hand and said, "When Ning'er married Ziyu, she said we would be together through thick and thin."

“There is nothing in this world that is 100% certain. If what you are doing is right, even if it means risking your life, you should give it a try.”

Shen Ziyu couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He put his lips to Qin Yanning's ear and said, "Ning'er, I promise we won't lose."

Qin Yanning shivered all over because of the heat. She turned around, hugged Shen Ziyu, and kissed him gently.

Because he was worried about hurting the baby in Qin Yanning's belly, Shen Ziyu had been a monk for several months.

When Qin Yanning kissed him suddenly, Shen Ziyu immediately felt something.

He stretched out his hand to block Qin Yanning's lips and whispered, "Ning'er, no."

Qin Yanning smiled slyly, "Then let's try something else?"

…

Before the New Year's Eve seal, the brother and sister Xie Yi and Xie Rao sounded the drum to report to the capital.

Decades ago, the Kong family's past deeds of embezzling disaster relief funds in Qiongzhou Prefecture and harming the Xu family were exposed overnight.

Shen Ziyu was ordered to put all the members of the Kong family into jail.

Shen Ziyu never left the imperial prison throughout the New Year.

The Kong family had committed countless acts of corruption and abuse of power over the years, and was even involved in several cases of cheating in the imperial examinations. For a time, the entire court was shocked.

Both Empress Dowager Kong and Concubine Liang, two daughters of the Kong family, were placed under house arrest in the palace, and the era of the Kong family came to an end.

Concubine Sun did not comment on this. In her words, the Kong family had been sitting on the altar for so long that they had forgotten that they were also ordinary people with flesh and bones.

For so many years they have never treated the people as human beings, so it is natural that everyone will turn against them now that they have fallen.

It was not until the Lantern Festival that Shen Ziyu returned to the palace from the imperial prison.

Concubine Sun took out her precious pomelo leaves and dusted Shen Ziyu up and down several times.

He said that he didn't want the bloody smell in the imperial prison to scare the baby in Qin Yanning's belly.

Qin Yanning finally felt relieved when he saw Shen Ziyu finally return home.

Shen Ziyu held Qin Yanning in his arms and touched her belly. "There's still one step left. Daddy must hold on tight."

The baby in Qin Yanning's belly seemed to understand Shen Ziyu's words and kicked its feet in cooperation.
