Chapter 1 Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction
Primer
In the autumn of the third year of Chunjia, a scandal that shocked the court and the public occurred in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Consort Shen, who was the most favored concubine in the palace, actually eloped with Bu Yuegui, the leader of the Imperial Guards, while the emperor was on an autumn hunt at Jiezi Mountain.

The two fled westward for nearly a thousand miles, hoping to hide in the foreign land of the Uyghurs.

Shen gave birth to her and Bu Yuegui's illegitimate child on the road.

Finally, they were caught up by the Imperial Guards at the border. The two committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the illegitimate child also died in the chaos.

Also in the autumn of that year, a heinous incident occurred in Bodu, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty: a legitimate mother poisoned her illegitimate son.

Out of jealousy and hatred, Wen, the mistress of the second branch of the Ruyang Earl's Mansion, poisoned the eldest son of her favorite concubine, Song.

However, the Ruyang Earl's Mansion kept this matter a secret, so very few people knew about it.

Dear readers, I've started a new project! If you haven't read my previous book, "Folding the Moon," you should definitely check it out—I highly recommend it.
