The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty: The Legend of the Civet Cat for the Crown Prince

During the reign of Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao army launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty, and the fortress Chanzhou was in danger. Emperor Zhenzong led the main reinforcements of the imperial army. However, when the army arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, Zhenzong did not dare to cross the river for fear of danger. The war faction headed by Kou Zhun and the peace faction headed by Ding Wei had a fierce dispute. Kou Zhun pulled the emperor's sleeves in desperation, causing the situation to get out of control and form a stalemate. At this critical moment, a man named Li Yu stepped forward and used his wisdom to break the deadlock, help the emperor cross the river, and save the Song Dynasty. Li Yu's beauty and wisdom deeply moved Emperor Zhenzong, and Li Yu also had a deep love for Zhenzong. The two fell in love with Kou Zhun's help. However, the virtuous concubine Liu E in the harem was a cunning and jealous person. When Zhenzong decided to welcome Li Yu into the palace, she went crazy with jealousy and tried every trick to kill Li Yu. Li Yu managed to escape several times under the protection of Zhenzong, Kou Zhun, Chen Lin and others, but she was tolerant and generous and did not care. However, Liu E intensified her behavior, going from treating Li Yu as a human being to regicide. Finally, Concubine Liu's conspiracy was exposed in front of everyone. However, due to the emperor's weakness and Concubine Li's kindness, they once again forgave Concubine Liu. Finally, Li Yu became pregnant, and Liu E appeared to be pregnant.
