Prince Yu understood how his wife had suffered over the years. Although his biological brother was publicly announced as having died in battle, he had actually committed a great crime before his death and deserved his fate. The King, who was also their father, was so angry that he intended to banish his brother's entire household to the frontier, and even lower the status of his nephews and nieces into that of commoners.
To protect the children, Prince Yu had requested to adopt them into his household.
Each of them she had loved as if they were her own, especially Minmin, whom she had raised from infancy.
He too wanted to give her a child, but their luck was lacking. Just when they were finally blessed with a child, it unfortunately passed away prematurely.
He knew that she had never recovered from the pain of losing their son.
While Prince Yu and his wife were in conversation, a eunuch came to report, "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Zhan Country have come to visit."
