Most of the consorts in the palace were working hard to give birth.
All of them wanted to give birth to a daughter and gain His Majesty's favor.
Noble Consort Qiao had once been hurt by rumors in the harem that she was "infertile" because she had not been able to give birth.
Empress Du was worried for her sister and had once wanted to let the first prince be adopted under her Noble Consort Qiao's name.
However, Noble Consort Qiao rejected the offer.
The relationship between the sisters was stronger than gold. When Noble Consort Qiao was slandered by rumors, Empress Du often took action to rectify the situation.
Back then, Empress Du was poisoned and fell seriously ill.
The reason was also because Noble Consort Qiao was pregnant and the sisters were careless.
As a result, the palace maids serving Empress Du were bribed.
Those years were filled with danger.
They had never betrayed each other.
