The atmosphere in Consort Chen's chamber was solemn and tense. The palace lamps cast a dim yellow light, adding to the seriousness on everyone's faces.
Emperor Han Yu stood in the center, his gaze sharp as a blade, staring directly at Consort Chen who knelt on the ground. Empress Chen sat in a grand chair to the side, her expression complex, with a subtle hint of pain flickering in her eyes.
On the other two sides, there are Consort Sun and Consort Luo sitting on the chairs. The palace maids and attendants stand on the side, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
Among them, Zhu Yu, who is tightly held by two palace maids, has a pale face and fear in her eyes.
On the ground were all the cursed items found in Consort Chen's palace, and the emperor looked at these items with anger.
"Consort Chen, how dare you even curse your own sister? You have gone too far," Han Yu's voice was low and full of anger, each word hitting the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
Consort Chen knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, her expression a mixture of fear and disbelief.
Her lips quivered slightly, as if wanting to explain, but unable to speak.
Empress Chen's eyes flashed with a deep sense of pain, her voice low and heavy: "Sister, how could you do such a thing? Do you know how much disaster this will bring to many people?"
Consort Luo stood on the side, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, but quickly concealed it.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't know about these things. It was all Zhu Yu's doing," Consort Chen finally spoke, her voice filled with sobs, appearing extremely aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's expression changed, and she hurriedly defended herself, "Your Highness, I... I was just following your orders."
"Shut up!" Consort Chen's voice suddenly raised, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I really didn't know about any of this. It was all Zhu Yu's doing."
Emperor Han Yu's gaze turned even colder as he faced Zhu Yu. "Zhu Yu, what is the meaning of this? Why would you do such things?"
Zhu Yu trembled, her eyes filled with fear: "Your Majesty, this servant... this servant was only following the orders of the Empress." Zhu Yu's voice was filled with a sob, she looked both scared and confused, "This servant also didn't know what would be in the package..."
Her words left everyone present feeling bewildered.
Consort Chen's face turned even paler, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes, as if pondering something.
Han Yu frowned, turning to Empress Chen: "Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on this?"
Empress Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and she slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If what Zhu Yu said is true, then there must be a larger conspiracy behind it. We cannot make a judgment based solely on one side's words."
Consort Luo listened on the side, her eyes showing a barely perceptible emotional fluctuation.
Han Yu nodded, his voice calm and serious: "Consort Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
Consort Chen lifted her head, her eyes filled with despair: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't know about all this. If the concubine had any intention to harm others, she wouldn't have targeted her own sister."
Her words carried a hint of pleading, as if longing for the Emperor's understanding and trust.
Han Yu's expression remained stern as he turned to Zhu Yu and asked, " Zhu Yu, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhu Yu's body trembled again, her voice weak: "Your Majesty, this servant really only acted according to the orders of the Empress, as for those cursed objects, this servant really had no knowledge of them."
The scene fell into a stalemate for a while, and everyone's hearts were filled with doubt and unease. At this moment, a palace maid hurried in, her face flustered: "Your Majesty, urgent news!"
Han Yu turned around and asked, "What urgent news?"
The palace maid trembled as she spoke, "Your Majesty, a suspicious person has been found outside, holding an item similar to the witchcraft object found in Consort Chen's chamber."
This message exploded in the quiet palace like a thunderclap, and all eyes focused on the palace maid.
There was a sharpness in Han Yu's eyes as he ordered, "Bring him in!"
Before long, a palace guard with a terrified expression was brought into the palace, clutching an object identical to the witchcraft items found in Consort Chen's chamber.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the guard Liu finally broke down and confessed that these witchcraft items were secretly instructed by Consort Chen to be placed and buried in the gardens of every pregnant consort.
He revealed that just a few days ago, Consort Chen ordered him to dig out these items at night, intending to burn them in the current chaos to destroy the evidence. However, shortly after he stepped out, he witnessed the emperor leading a large group of guards rushing over.
The Liu guard's heart sank, realizing that the situation might have been exposed, so he brought these pieces of evidence, hoping to seek the emperor's forgiveness and save his own life.
I'm sorry, but there is no input provided for translation. If you have a specific text or phrase you'd like translated, please provide it and I'd be happy to help.
The truth of it all, like a bolt from the blue, shocked everyone present.
Consort Chen's face turned ashen, her eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
Han Yu's anger reached its peak, his voice cold and severe: "Consort Chen, how could you commit such a cruel and despicable act, causing the death of my four children? What else do you have to say now? What face do you have left in this harem?"
He turned to Mr. Lin and a large group of guards: "Immediately strip Consort Chen of her title and position, confine her to the cold palace, and forbid anyone from visiting her!"
Empress Chen Upon hearing such a punishment, although she felt deeply distressed by her sister's actions, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity upon hearing such a severe punishment.
She was about to speak up to plead for her sister, but was interrupted by Han Yu's indifference.
"Your Majesty, I have spared Consort Chen's life for your sake. She has caused the deaths of four of my children, and this is already the lightest punishment. If you speak again, I do not know what kind of punishment I will give her next."
Empress Chen's heart tightened. She knew the Emperor's decision was final, with no room for negotiation. She silently lowered her head, filled with complex emotions.
Chen Huang'er was taken away by the palace maids and guards, her eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
"What if I have killed someone? Your Majesty, you have also killed people." Chen Huang'er rambled like a madman.
"Cover her mouth," the Emperor said.
Chen Huang'er In the process of being taken away by the palace maids and guards, her eyes revealed deep despair and unwillingness.
She seemed to have lost her mind, starting to talk nonsense, her voice filled with madness and provocation: "Haha... servants killing children, so what? Your Majesty... you have also killed your own children."
These words shocked everyone present. Emperor Han Yu's face became even darker, and he coldly ordered, "Shut her mouth."
His voice showed no emotional fluctuation, revealing his complete disappointment and disgust towards Chen Huang'er.
The palace maids and guards acted quickly, carefully covering Chen Huang'er's mouth to prevent her from making any more noise. Chen Huang'er struggled, but her resistance seemed futile under the control of the others.
Empress Chen heard her sister Chen Huang'er's words filled with despair and provocation, and her heart was deeply shaken. A complex mix of emotions flashed in her eyes, encompassing both sorrow for her sister's fate and concern for Emperor Han Yu.
She knew that her sister's words had crossed the Emperor's bottom line, and this open provocation and insult would undoubtedly worsen Chen Huang'er's guilt. Empress Chen felt a sense of powerlessness, knowing that in this situation, any plea or intervention would be futile.
This scene sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.
Chen Huang'er was once a shining star in the harem, second only to the queen's Second-rank concubine. Now, however, she has fallen to such a state, becoming the focus of discussion among the people in the harem and serving as a warning.
In this harem, where power struggles and conspiracies intertwine, anyone's fate could be turned upside down overnight.
