Beijing, Crown Prince Residence.
Last year, under the care of Yang Ruxin, the Crown Princess Consort finally became pregnant, with twins no less. However, for safety reasons, this was never made public, and even many within the Crown Prince Residence were unaware of her pregnancy.
The Crown Princess Consort, on the other hand, was confined to her quarters by the Crown Prince for contradicting him, forbidden from leaving her courtyard, and was watched over by the Crown Prince's close guards.
Meanwhile, another concubine announced her pregnancy, much to the delight of the Crown Prince, who elevated her to Consort, showered her with rewards, and stayed at her quarters every night, making her the center of attention for a while.
However, at five months pregnant, the Consort suffered poisoning and miscarried. Although she barely survived, she was left unable to conceive again.
