Children of Loulan

What is even more surprising is that when the four concubines were already complete, she was canonized as Concubine Jing! Knowing that she liked quietness, she was arranged to live in a relatively quiet small palace and was personally named "Yue Xi Ju".

Not only did the late king dote on her, he also chose to turn over her name card every night, allowing her to enjoy wealth and grace. During this period, the late king was immersed in the sweet love with Concubine Jing and could not extricate himself.

However, good times are always short-lived. Because the previous king was too partial to Concubine Jing, the other concubines in the harem were jealous and resentful. This strong sense of crisis made the concubines, who were originally scheming and jealous, suddenly become unusually united. They worked together and colluded with the ministers in the court to fabricate charges and frame the father of the concubine for treason. You know, her father was just a small prefect in the capital!

Although Concubine Jing cried bitterly and begged the late king, saying that her father would never betray the country, and asked the late king to investigate the truth of the matter, the late king also promised her that he would thoroughly investigate the matter and clear her father's name.

However, Concubine Jing's entry into the palace this time affected the interests of too many people - everyone in the harem was worried, because with the favor Concubine Jing was enjoying now, if she gave birth to a prince in the future, the late king would definitely appoint her son as the crown prince; and usually, there was a complicated network of relationships between the former court and the harem, so there were too many people who wanted to attack her family. For this reason, although the late king repeatedly investigated, the conclusive evidence he finally obtained was actually both human and material evidence.

In desperation, the late king had to issue an order to first imprison all of Concubine Jing's family members. The late king wanted to put them in jail first to give an explanation to the ministers, and then slowly find a way to save them. However, to his surprise, many ministers in the court unanimously begged the late king to execute Concubine Jing's family. Faced with huge pressure from the court, the late king chose to delay again and again.

Because he also felt that this matter was too strange, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the evidence was all false. As long as time was given, he would be able to give justice to Concubine Jing's family, so he secretly sent a lot of people out to look for evidence.

The ministers in the court were extremely anxious because of the king's delay. They also guessed why the king was delaying, so they kept putting pressure on him, hoping that he would make a decision quickly. However, the king was always hesitant, making the situation more tense. As time passed, the ministers finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to take more drastic measures.

So, they begged the Queen Mother to come forward to administer justice. After hearing this, the Queen Mother was already dissatisfied with the late king's excessive pampering of Concubine Jing. After all, a king should put the country first, how can he be too sentimental? After weighing the pros and cons, the Queen Mother decided to stand on the side of the court officials and support their proposal. Although she also guessed that Concubine Jing's family was innocent, she could not stay if she could deceive the king!

Faced with the dual pressure from the Queen Mother and the court officials, the late king was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he really couldn't bear to execute all of Concubine Jing's family members; on the other hand, he couldn't ignore the pressure from the Queen Mother and the court officials. After a painful struggle, the late king finally had no choice but to order the beheading of Concubine Jing's family. But it would take three months before the execution!

For Concubine Jing, this order was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly severing the relationship between her and the late king. She could no longer have a romantic relationship or give birth to a child with a man who wanted to kill her entire family.

But the late Queen Mother understood the late King's thoughts. Three months? She was afraid that by then all the evidence would be found out, and they would not be able to die. In order to avoid future troubles and to stop the late King's thoughts, she took the poisoned wine directly to the Heavenly Prison and told Concubine Jing's father directly that the reason for killing him was not treason, but because of his daughter...

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine Jing's father drank the poisoned wine in one gulp without any hesitation. When the Queen Mother came out of the prison, she sent someone to tell Concubine Jing the news.

When Concubine Jing heard the news, she was struck by lightning. The death of her family was like a sharp sword, piercing her fragile heart mercilessly and causing her endless pain and sorrow. This pain was like a deep imprint in the depths of her soul, and it was difficult to erase it no matter how time passed.

Once upon a time, the family accompanied Concubine Jing through countless warm and beautiful times, but now they have left her, leaving behind a desolate and lonely place. Every memory, every smile, every warm word has become the most precious treasure in Concubine Jing's heart, but also the most painful wound.

Faced with the departure of her loved ones, Concubine Jing felt helpless and confused. She didn't know how to get out of this shadow and find the meaning and courage of life again. However, it was this experience that made her suddenly understand that the so-called love is nothing more than this.

So, she resolutely locked herself in the Yuexi Residence, which she was once so proud of, as if she were isolated from the world. This palace, which was once full of laughter and joy, has now become desolate and bleak, like an abandoned cold palace. From then on, she decided not to step out of this place again in her life, nor to see the late king.

Although she knew in her heart that the person who actually did it was not the late king, it was indeed him who issued the order to "behead immediately"! Moreover, the late queen mother was the late king's biological mother. Faced with such a complicated relationship and love-hate entanglement, how could she let it go? How could she convince herself to continue to love the son of the person who killed her family and spent the rest of her life with him?

However, the late king could not let go of this matter and felt deeply guilty. After months of persistent investigation, the late king finally found out the truth and gave her family a clean name. Unfortunately, even though justice was served, those people who once lived were no longer alive.

Not long after the injustice of Concubine Jing and her family was redressed and their reputations were restored, something unexpected happened: she died of a serious illness less than a month later! What was even more surprising was that she already had a baby boy in her belly!

When the late king learned of the tragic news of Concubine Jing's sudden death, he was heartbroken. After an in-depth investigation, he finally found out the truth: since Concubine Jing's family suffered a tragedy, she had been immersed in endless sorrow all day long, and she had no appetite and fell ill in just a few days. In addition, she refused to leave Yuexiju and did not allow anyone to invite the imperial doctor to treat her, so she did not even know that she was pregnant.

It was not until later, as her belly grew bigger, that Concubine Jing realized that she was pregnant. However, the arrival of this child was not at the best time. On the one hand, Concubine Jing was ecstatic to become a mother, but on the other hand, she was deeply worried that even if she gave birth to the child, she would not be able to protect him, just like she could not protect her own relatives.

As a result, under this kind of inner torment and torture day after day, her condition worsened day by day, but she kept persisting, hoping to wait until the day when the truth would come out. Finally, after learning that her family’s injustice had been vindicated, her tense heart finally let go. It was also with this letting go that she completely left the world!
