The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

Her birthday banquet, which was only for a second-rank imperial concubine, was so grand that all the female relatives of officials and noblewomen of the imperial family attended, and no one dared to show her the slightest disrespect, all because she was the birth mother of the champion king.

Consort Shu was well aware of this, which is why she hesitated to comply with Empress Jiang's orders earlier in Fengyi Palace.

Now that her son is merely a champion, she has made herself second only to the queen and above all other women.

If her son were to become emperor one day, she would be the most honored woman in the world, and even Empress Jiang would be trampled under her feet.

And her father and mother will be the emperor's maternal grandparents, and her brothers will all be the emperor's brothers-in-law!

Her nephews and nieces were all cousins ​​of the emperor.

With such a noble status, how could the Liu family not prosper and remain prosperous for a long time!

That hateful Empress Jiang, that poisonous woman, actually forced all eighteen members of her maternal family to drink poison, and kept using the antidote to blackmail her into harming her own son!

She was forced into this situation, and Yan'er will surely understand her and won't blame her, her birth mother, right?

Consort Shu glanced at the white jade wine bottle on the table, then at the entrance to the Imperial Garden, suppressing her irritation as she continued to appreciate flowers and discuss poetry with her many sisters in the harem.

Before long, the eunuch at the entrance of the Imperial Garden announced loudly, "His Highness the Champion King has arrived—"

The housekeepers who came to offer their congratulations all bowed their heads and knelt quietly on the ground, afraid that the champion king would notice them, take a liking to them, and want to take them into the royal palace as concubines.

They kept their heads down and therefore did not notice the lecherous and bloodthirsty man they thought he was, and he did not give them a second glance.

Qin Yan only glanced at the other women in the room out of the corner of his eye, without looking closely at them. He didn't even give a second glance to the Princess Consort, who was ranked below the Four Consorts. He walked straight to Consort Shu, lifted his robe, straightened his body, and knelt down. "Your son pays respects to Mother Consort. I wish Mother Consort boundless happiness and longevity."

Consort Shu was very happy to see her son so successful. She quickly went around the table and personally helped Qin Yan up, saying, "My son is back. It's good that you're back, that you're back safe and sound."

Seeing Consort Shu weep with joy, Qin Yan felt a warm current flow through his heart. "It is your unfilial son who has not been able to show filial piety to Mother Consort, and has instead caused Mother Consort to worry about me."

“You are being dutiful and loyal to your father, how could your mother blame you?”

Qin Yan didn't have deep feelings for Consort Shu, and since everyone present was a woman, he couldn't stay long. After paying his respects to Consort Shu, he prepared to leave.

Consort Shu took a deep breath and personally picked up the white jade wine bottle to pour Qin Yan a cup of wine. "The flower appreciation banquet is full of distinguished guests, and it is not appropriate for your mother to keep you here for long. Let's have a drink together first, and then we can have a meal together later when the flower appreciation banquet is over."

"Your subject will obey Mother." Qin Yan was wary of others, but he had no such wariness towards his birth mother. He took the wine from Consort Shu, raised his head slightly, and poured the entire cup of wine into his mouth and swallowed it.

Tears welled up in Consort Shu's eyes. She closed her eyes as she drank, unable to look at her son.

Upon seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs behind Consort Shu lowered their heads and smiled silently.

Qin Yan put down his wine cup, bowed to Consort Shu and the other concubines, and took his leave.

Seeing Qin Yan drink the wine that Consort Shu had personally poured, which contained a drug that would prevent him from having children, Su Yan withdrew her gaze and stopped watching the broadcast.

She didn't have a very good impression of Consort Shu.

I remember the plot mentioned that Qin Yan's birth mother, Consort Shu, used to be just a first-class maidservant by Empress Jiang's side in the Dingbei Prince's Mansion.

When Empress Jiang, who was then the Princess Consort of Dingbei, became pregnant, she was unable to serve the Prince of Dingbei. So she selected one of her maids and sent her to serve the Prince of Dingbei in order to secure his favor.

Consort Shu was fortunate enough to be chosen by the Princess Consort of Dingbei and became the Prince of Dingbei's concubine, and was called Liu.

No one expected that Lady Liu was extremely fertile, and she became pregnant with Qin Yan on her first time serving Emperor Yongchang.

On the surface, Princess Dingbei was a gentle and virtuous woman. Knowing that Liu was pregnant, she arranged a separate courtyard for her, sent people to serve her, sent her tonics every day, and brainwashed her every day that only if the mother's body was well nourished would the baby in her womb grow well.

Princess Dingbei's original intention was to have Liu eat too many tonics, causing the fetus to become too large to deliver, resulting in Liu's death along with her unborn child.

However, Liu was a mama's girl and a brother-supporting demon. In order to help her family gain more benefits, she used all her savings to be chosen as the dowry maid of the Princess of Dingbei.

This time, she listened to her family and sent many tonics back to them, indirectly thwarting the Princess of Dingbei's plot.

When one plan failed, the Princess Consort of Dingbei devised another.

Discovering that Liu valued her family, she had her parents give her the slave status and indentures of Liu's family, and moved all eight members of Liu's family to her dowry estate to coerce Liu into aborting her child.

Liu didn't want to abort the child, otherwise she wouldn't have so many tonics and good things to send back to her parents and brothers.

She swore a solemn oath, guaranteeing that her child would not hinder the status of the Princess Consort of Dingbei's child, and that her child would assist her child in securing the position of heir apparent.

Princess Dingbei also felt that this was better. With a brother to assist her son, it would be less likely that any other boys born in the royal palace would threaten her son's position as heir.

Therefore, the Princess of Dingbei agreed to let Liu give birth to the child.

As a result, their plans all fell through. Qin Yan, born to Liu, was exceptionally intelligent and was taken in as a disciple by a great Confucian scholar as soon as he entered school.

At that time, Emperor Yongchang, who was still the Prince of Dingbei, wanted to establish a connection with that great Confucian scholar, so he directly sent Qin Yan over and kept her by the scholar's side.

Under the tutelage of that great Confucian scholar, Qin Yan was able to grow into the champion king who excels in both civil and military affairs.

Princess Dingbei, seeing that Liu's son was so much more powerful than her own son, hated Liu for deceiving her and tormented her in every way. She even used Liu's parents and younger brothers to threaten her into destroying the Qin banquet.

For example, he made Qin Yan, who was six or seven years old, torture and kill cats and dogs, push servants and maids into the lake, let him play with spoiled young masters, and prevented him from staying with the great Confucian scholar.

When Qin Yan was a little older, around eleven or twelve years old, he was almost drugged and locked in a room with his father, the Prince of Dingbei's, concubine.

Fortunately, Qin Yan rarely returned to the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, and since he was precocious from a young age, he managed to avoid all the things that the Dingbei Princess asked Liu to do.

Even though her scheme failed, Princess Dingbei still sent people outside to tarnish Qin Yan's reputation.

It wasn't until Qin Yan's teacher, Fang Daru, told the Northeast King about the matter, and the Dingbei King returned to his residence and gave the Dingbei Princess a stern warning, that she temporarily stopped.

Over the past decade, Qin Yan has made outstanding military achievements and there is no higher title he can bestow.

Seeing that Qin Yan had already recovered the south and was about to return, Empress Jiang was afraid that the important officials in the court and Emperor Yongchang would bypass her two legitimate sons and make Qin Yan the crown prince.

They then threatened Consort Shu's entire family with the lives of her, forcing her to administer a drug that would prevent Qin Yan from having children.

But Consort Shu...in the end, she still gave her only son a drug that would prevent him from having children.

At this moment, Su Yan felt very sorry for Qin Yan for having such a birth mother.

However, this incident was also one of the important triggers that made Qin Yan determined to kill the King of Changsheng and force the Emperor of Yongchang to abdicate, so she did not think of stopping it.

Anyway, Qin Yan wouldn't have any offspring even if he didn't drink the infertility drug, but if he did drink it, at least others wouldn't think he was born impotent.

Inside the Imperial Garden, at the flower-viewing banquet.

Princess Chen Yiyue, the champion, was initially quite pleased to see Qin Yan at the banquet, but when she saw that he hadn't even glanced at her once, her charming face immediately darkened.

She lowered her head, her hands constantly twisting the handkerchief, her resentment towards Qin Yan growing deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, a palace maid accidentally spilled wine on her skirt while pouring it for her. Chen Yiyue glared at her fiercely and said, "You lowly servant, how dare you soil my clothes!"

As she spoke, Chen Yiyue raised her hand and viciously slapped the palace maid to the ground.

Ignoring her burning face, the palace maid scrambled to her feet and knelt down, begging for mercy, "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"

With the help of her personal maid, Chen Yiyue stood up. "Guards, drag this wretched maid away, cut off her hands, and throw her out of Kunjing. She must never set foot in Kunjing again."
