One night, at a banquet in the palace, unfortunately, the Duke of Ningguo was absent due to other matters, so only Yin Shuang entered the palace to attend the banquet.
If it were an ordinary palace banquet, Yin Shuang, who doesn't like crowds, might not have gone. But it just so happened that it was the Crown Prince's birthday, so as his "aunt," she naturally had to attend.
Unexpectedly, after the banquet, she was stopped on her way out of the palace and told that the Empress had invited her.
She went there, only to find that the person waiting for her was none other than Emperor Xuanwu!
She didn't know when she was drugged, and lost her virginity in a daze.
As for Emperor Xuanwu, because he had drunk a couple more cups of wine during the banquet, and because someone had deliberately done it, he assumed that the woman who entered the hall was one of his concubines. Although he could see that her appearance was very similar to that of the Duchess of Ningguo, he simply thought that he had been thinking about her during the day and dreaming about her at night, and that he had just imagined it.
Little did they know that all of this was merely the audacious act of a eunuch in Emperor Xuanwu's inner circle who had guessed the emperor's thoughts.
Emperor Xuanwu was not particularly lustful, but when power reached its peak, his possessiveness and desire to control many things became almost pathologically obsessive, both towards objects and people.
Yin Shuang's beauty attracted him, but more importantly, her otherworldly temperament was unlike any other woman in the palace.
However, my wife must not be involved.
Unless he wants to be infamous for eternity.
But to everyone's surprise, his restrained and subtle thoughts were actually seen through by one of the eunuchs beside him.
In his eagerness to curry favor, the young eunuch recklessly orchestrated all of this.
Overnight, Yin Shuang's originally peaceful life underwent a dramatic change!
She didn't know how to face the Duke of Ningguo. After much deliberation, she finally decided to tell him the whole story.
As husband and wife, she wouldn't hide anything from him about such a thing.
But I could no longer continue living with him.
It wasn't that she despised herself or felt unworthy of him, but rather that the person she had lost her virginity to was the emperor, the man her husband had sworn to serve. This incident was like a thorn in his heart, and he feared that every time he saw Emperor Xuanwu in the future, he would be reminded of it. How could he bear it? It would be better to separate.
She was originally a person outside the secular world, and should return to that secular world.
She had even written the divorce papers, but her body, which had been straining to maintain its spirit for days, could no longer hold on and she fell ill.
Yin Shuang was ill and had to rest for nearly two months.
Just when things were finally getting better, it seemed like fate couldn't stand seeing her life go smoothly, and then a bolt from the blue struck her head.
She's pregnant!
This should have been a joyous occasion, but the problem was that she didn't know whose child she was carrying.
Because the night before the palace banquet, the Duke of Ningguo had to go out of the city on official business and wouldn't be back for several days, so he kept her busy for a long time, and they didn't rest until almost dawn.
Then, that same day in the palace, the incident involving Emperor Xuanwu occurred.
To determine whose child it is, the only way is to wait until the child is born and see what he looks like.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that the child was of royal blood, Emperor Xuanwu would never tolerate his son's birth mother continuing to be another man's wife.
However, it would be absolutely unacceptable to bestow the title of imperial concubine upon her.
So he took it upon himself to send her to the imperial temple, and decided on her fate after she gave birth.
result--
She suffered from emotional distress during her pregnancy, which led to a difficult labor.
Emperor Xuanwu and the Duke of Ningguo both chose to protect the eldest son.
They thought that everything would eventually be revealed, but to their surprise, Xiao Yan's appearance was a complete inheritance of Yin Shuang's beauty, and they couldn't find any resemblance to either of them at all!
