Chapter 357: Gathering a Bunch_2

Zhu Sujin had hoped to save the Tan Clan Branch, but Emperor Qianwu disagreed, scolding him for his "womanly kindness, unfit for grand affairs" and said that sparing those six children was already a fortune accumulated for Zhu Sujin's unborn child.

As the twelfth lunar month approached, Pan Yue and Qian Yixiu again began to worry for Zhu Sujin, because his three women were soon to give birth. Only after giving birth herself did Qian Yixiu realize how dangerous childbirth was for ancient women. At that time, caesarean sections were not an option; even in difficult labor, one had to endure a natural birth. Every now and then, she would prepare some snacks with extra ingredients to send over, and she even invited Pan Yue to visit the Eastern Palace with her once.
