In the afternoon, Chen Feng'er decided to go to Shanglin Garden for a walk. The flowers in Shanglin Garden were in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers was refreshing, making people feel relaxed and happy. She strolled along the flower path, but her thoughts were still drifting far away.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on a secluded corner, where there was an ancient parasol tree, and under the tree stood a figure. The person was dressed in elegant palace attire, and it was Emperor Han Yu.
Chen Feng'er was slightly startled, then walked towards Han Yu. Han Yu turned around and, upon seeing Chen Feng'er, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Feng'er, you're here."
"Your Majesty, were you waiting for servants here?" asked Empress Chen.
Han Yu With a slight smile, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Yes, I know you came here to relax. The affairs in the palace have been busy lately, and you must be very tired."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
Chen Feng'er nodded gently, her eyes carrying a hint of weariness: "Indeed, Your Majesty. The matters of the harem always disturb one's peace of mind."
Han Yu took a step forward, gently grasping Chen Feng'er's hand, his voice filled with concern: "Feng'er, you must remember, no matter when, I am always your strongest support. You don't have to bear too much of the burden of the harem."
Chen Feng'er felt a warm surge in her heart, and she looked deeply at Han Yu with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. With your support, I feel incredibly reassured."
The two of them stood quietly under the parasol tree for a while, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
Han Yu suddenly spoke, "Feng'er, I heard that Consort Luo fainted yesterday. Did you notice anything unusual?"
Chen Feng'er frowned slightly, recalling the situation from yesterday. "Consort Luo's fainting was indeed sudden. I have already ordered a discreet investigation. But so far, we haven't found anything."
Han Yu nodded, "Good, I will also have people pay attention. The affairs of the harem, although complicated, must be kept vigilant to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."
Chen Feng'er responded affirmatively, "Yes, Your Majesty. servants will handle it carefully to ensure the stability of the harem."
Later, the two of them strolled in Shanglin Garden, discussing national affairs and the various aspects of the imperial harem. Empress Chen felt that every conversation with Han Yu made her more determined and empowered to face the challenges of the harem.
Night falls, Empress Chen and Han Yu return to the palace hand in hand.
That night, Empress Chen held in the arms of Emperor Han Yu, felt unusually calm, knowing that no matter how turbulent the harem was, she would not be alone to face it.
The next morning, when Chen Feng'er woke up from her dream, the sky outside the window had already been tinged with a faint orange-red color, heralding the arrival of a new day.
She tidied her clothes lightly and prepared to go to Cixi's Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
As she moved quietly, Emperor Han Yu groggily opened his eyes on the bed and asked, "Where are you going, Feng'er?"
Chen Feng'er turned around and answered with a smile, "The servants are ready to go to Cixi's Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, you shouldn't indulge in sleep any longer. It's time to get up and attend to state affairs," she said gently.
Upon hearing Chen Feng'er's words, Emperor Han Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile. He slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes, still seemingly immersed in the remnants of his dream.
"Alright, Feng'er, you go ahead. I will get up now," he said, somewhat helplessly, as he struggled out of the covers and began to dress in his court attire.
Chen Feng'er nodded and left the palace. Her steps were light, like a gentle spring breeze brushing through the tranquil courtyard. Walking along the long corridor leading to Cixi's Palace, her mood was unusually calm, but her thoughts flew back to a distant past.
She remembered that when she first entered the palace, she found the complex court etiquette both fascinating and confusing. But now, all of this has become a part of her life, and she has grown accustomed to navigating through the intricate court.
When she arrived at Cixi's Palace, the Empress Dowager was already awake, sitting in front of an exquisite dressing table, while palace maids carefully brushed her hair.
"Mother, I wish you good health. Your child is here to pay respects to you." Chen Feng'er bowed respectfully.
The Empress turned around, with a kind smile on her face: "Empress, you're here. Come, sit beside me."
Chen Feng'er bowed and then sat across from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager's eyes revealed concern as she asked, "I heard that Consort Luo fainted yesterday. Have you noticed anything unusual, Your Majesty?"
Chen Feng'er nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty. Servants have already secretly investigated, but nothing unusual has been found so far. Servants will continue to monitor the situation."
The empress dowager nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of worry: "Matters in the harem always make people anxious. Feng'er, you must handle it carefully and not let yourself fall into danger."
Chen Feng'er replied confidently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The servants will be careful."
The two then went on to discuss the daily affairs of the harem. The Empress expressed approval of the way Empress Chen was handling things and offered some valuable advice.
After leaving Cixi's Palace, Chen Feng'er decided to visit Consort Luo. She arrived at the palace where Consort Luo resided and found that her complexion had improved significantly.
Consort Luo saw Chen Feng'er and smiled slightly, "It's truly an honor for the servants to have the Empress visit us."
Chen Feng'er responded softly, "Take care of yourself, Consort Luo. Rest well these days."
The two talked for a while, and Chen Feng'er secretly observed Consort Luo's expression and behavior, but did not find anything unusual.
After leaving Consort Luo's palace, Chen Feng'er felt a hint of doubt in her heart. She sensed that Consort Luo's fainting was not simply due to physical weakness, and there might be a secret behind it that she had not noticed.
That night, Chen Feng'er sat alone in the palace, gazing at the moonlight outside the window. Her thoughts drifted far, pondering every corner of the harem and the movements of every person.
She knew that in order to survive in this environment full of conspiracies, she had to remain highly vigilant.
Just then, a palace maid hurried in, her face showing an urgent expression: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news."
Chen Feng'er immediately collected her thoughts and gazed at the palace maid: "What news?"
The palace maid replied in a low voice: "Someone has been found in the western garden of the harem, appearing to be secretly spying."
Chen Feng'er's brows furrowed, and she quickly stood up: "Hurry, take me to see."
They quickly walked through the long corridor of the palace and arrived at the western garden. In the moonlight, the garden appeared particularly quiet, but Chen Feng'er could sense a hint of an unusual atmosphere.
They searched in the garden for a while and finally found a woman dressed as a palace maid in a secluded corner. When the woman saw Empress Chen, her face turned pale with fear, as if she wanted to escape.
Chen Feng'er calmly ordered, "Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?"
The girl trembled and finally stopped, answering in a low voice, "Please spare me, Your Majesty. I am only here on someone else's orders."
Chen Feng'er looked at her with a hint of scrutiny and asked, "Whose orders are you following? What are you here to do?"
The palace maid was obviously intimidated by Chen Feng'er's momentum, standing still and not daring to move.
Chen Feng'er approached and indeed found some burnt paper money and a clay figurine at her feet.
On the small person's chest, the words "Luo Ling" were prominently written.
Chen Feng'er's gaze turned sharp: "What are you doing? Why are you cursing Consort Luo like this?"
The palace maid trembled and finally spoke, "Your Majesty, I... I was instructed by someone. It was Consort Yao who sent me. She... she wanted to use witchcraft to harm Consort Luo."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng'er felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She did not believe that the newly entered Consort Yao would cause trouble in the harem, especially since Consort Yao was pregnant. This must be someone's scheme to frame Consort Yao.
She took a deep breath and ordered, "Someone, take her back. I want to interrogate her personally."
After the palace maid was taken away, Chen Feng'er stood quietly in the garden, bathed in moonlight, looking particularly desolate.
