At the beginning of the first year.
With the death of the grassland king, his son Shaobu naturally took over the position, finding himself in a very awkward situation.
Apart from a few people around him, no one else believed in the new grassland king.
Another force, led by Ji Rentai, saw this opportunity and were unwilling to let it slip away.
For many years, Jirentai had been looking for an opportunity. Now that the king of the grasslands was dead and the newly enthroned king had no power and could not control the entire grasslands, Jirentai saw an opportunity and took the chance to incite people from other tribes.
Originally, the Jirentai tribe was the largest, and everyone held it in high esteem. They were also intimidated by the former grassland king, so they dared not cause trouble.
Now that the grassland king is dead, his son Shaobu has succeeded him, but few are willing to submit.
Now that they see an opportunity, especially with Ji Rentai leading the way, they seem to see hope.
Soon, Ji Rentai incited a group of people to begin a coup against the royal court.
What was once a relatively peaceful grassland is now rife with fighting almost every day.
Just after the New Year, everyone on the grasslands had been idle all winter, feeling cooped up at home all day. Hearing about this opportunity, who would want to miss it?
The men of the grasslands are inherently warlike, and almost no one would want to miss this opportunity.
Some people, especially those who wanted to protect their tribe, sought to demonstrate their extraordinary strength.
The vast grasslands, which had been peaceful for decades, were suddenly engulfed in war.
......
Chen Siyuan noticed that Qiao Yuchen had been meeting people in the study every day for the past few days.
At first, she thought it was someone who was going to see the Seventh Prince.
Later, she overheard the news of the death of the Great Grassland King and knew that the Great Grassland would face two years of turmoil.
Chen Siyuan suddenly felt that perhaps choosing to give birth in this place was not a good thing.
A few days later, Chen Siyuan discovered that war was raging outside, and no one dared to come to this place.
Chen Siyuan found it strange.
As the young general of the Qiao family, Qiao Yuchen was able to intimidate those who coveted the Shang Kingdom. On this vast grassland, Qiao Yuchen had never revealed his identity. What was the reason that allowed him to find peace in this place?
Chen Siyuan couldn't explain it clearly, but she knew there was a reason for it.
Just then, Wang Li arrived.
Wang Li has been sending messages during this period, but we haven't met.
Upon suddenly seeing him in person, Chen Siyuan instinctively felt that something had happened to the Wen family.
"What's going on?" She didn't realize that her tone of voice had changed when she said this.
"Young Madam, Mr. Wen has a letter for you."
letter?
Wen Kai arrived not long ago and brought a letter. How long has it been since then and there is another one? Could something have happened?
Terrified, she trembled as she took the letter. The moment she opened it, she smiled.
Wenxuan achieved the third-highest rank in the imperial examination and briefly served by Su Wen's side. He rejected a better future and was content to be Su Wen's follower.
...
News began to come in gradually.
......
Two letters arrived from the Chen family.
One letter was from her grandmother, who said that Chen Luyang and Yan Yi had gotten married and that she was now one month pregnant.
Chen Siyuan was completely surprised that Yan Yi had become her sister-in-law.
She opened another letter, written by Yan Yi, which stated that the scented fabrics were not from the Feather Clan, but were related to them.
Those fabrics were sent by the deceased Empress Dowager through her connections among the Feather Clan.
It was only then that Chen Siyuan realized that the Empress Dowager was actually a member of the Feather Clan.
......
The Emperor is seriously ill and is now lying on his imperial bed, unable to move. He could pass away at any moment.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Siyuan felt a pang of indescribable sadness.
Is the old emperor really dying?
It seems like time has moved much earlier than in my previous life.
......
Tao family.
After Madam Tao died, Tao Zhilu returned from the border with a pregnant woman during the New Year and sat directly in Madam Tao's seat.
Madam Tao is very capable and manages the entire Tao family in an orderly manner. Tao Hualin, who has always been very strict, is extremely satisfied with his new daughter-in-law.
...
With the Empress Dowager dead and the Emperor seriously ill, Consort Hua became the most powerful woman in the palace.
Consort Hua held absolute power in the palace. Chen Xin, who had accomplished many things, entered the palace one day and never came out again. It was later confirmed that Chen Xin died from Chen Fan's poison, literally poisoned to death.
The screams lasted for a long time. By the time the guards arrived, Chen Xin had already turned into a pool of blood and disappeared without a trace.
......
Qiao Zhen finally agreed to meet Aunt Xu. After the meeting, Aunt Xu became a nun and prayed for Qiao Zhen in the nunnery.
......
After Princess Qiya fell from her horse, she lay in bed for several months, and eventually, unable to bear the torment, she committed suicide one night.
......
More than two months passed after these messages arrived.
Soon it was time for Chen Siyuan to give birth.
Qiao Yuchen waited anxiously outside the delivery room. He had heard many rumors about women giving birth.
The day finally arrived, and he was extremely nervous. He stood at the door, trying to rush in several times, but was stopped by Wang Yong and Yang Lei.
They were also very afraid of Qiao Yuchen's gaze. When Jiang Ma went in, she said that men couldn't go in when a baby was giving birth.
They had heard the rumor before, but when it actually happened, they realized how difficult it was for this woman to give birth.
Chen Siyuan was calling out from inside, and they were heartbroken to hear it.
They heard that childbirth takes several hours for women, and sometimes even several days.
