The atmosphere in the palace is heavy and solemn, with everyone filled with different emotions.
All of this is not only a punishment for Consort Chen, but also a huge shock to the entire harem.
Han Yu's heart was filled with pain and disappointment.
He turned and left Consort Chen's palace, his steps heavy, each one feeling like he was treading on the edge of a knife in his heart.
The emperor not only lost four children he had never met, but also lost the trust of a beloved consort.
Empress Chen stood quietly in place, tears shimmering in her eyes. Her heart was filled with conflict and pain, torn between her love and reluctance for her sister, and her loyalty to the emperor.
She knew deep down that her sister's actions were irreversible, so she could only silently endure the heartache. Then she followed the emperor's footsteps and left.
Consort Luo stood to the side, her eyes revealing a hint of complexity. She was shocked by Consort Chen's actions, but at the same time, she was also pondering the significance for herself.
In this intertwining palace of power and conspiracy, every disturbance could be an opportunity or a crisis.
The palace maids and guards stand with bowed heads, the atmosphere heavy.
They witnessed the tragic scene in the harem, which touched their hearts to varying degrees.
In this splendid yet turbulent world, who can truly claim to be a mere bystander?
On the way to the cold palace, Chen Huang'er's eyes were vacant, as if she had lost all vitality.
Her heart was filled with regret and anger, regretting her ambition and jealousy that drove her down this irreversible path, and angry that her schemes were exposed, leading to such an outcome.
The Cold Palace, a secluded palace deep within the imperial garden, had now become Chen Huang'er's prison.
Although the palace remained magnificent, in Chen Huang'er's eyes, it was like hell. She was imprisoned here, isolated from the world, and no longer enjoyed any power or glory.
On this quiet night, in the cold palace, Chen Huang'er, once Consort Chen, now only feels loneliness and regret. Her disheveled hair and eyes no longer hold the radiance of the past, only deep despair and emptiness.
Chen Huang'er's heart is filled with memories of the past and despair for the future. She once had dreams and aspirations, longing to rise to the highest position in the harem, but never expected that her fate would be so tragic.
She muttered to herself, "Just one step more... and I could have become the queen... It's all because of that Consort Luo, who ruined all my plans."
Then, she burst into a maniacal laughter. "Guard Liu was worried about angering the emperor, so he didn't reveal the whole truth. In fact, I didn't want him to destroy that item, but to secretly take it to the queen, and then I would seize the opportunity to expose..."
Elsewhere, Han Yu sat alone on the dragon throne, his gaze deep and seemingly lost in thought.
He not only feels the sorrow of losing his child, but also the disappointment of Consort Chen's betrayal. He had high hopes for her, but never expected her to do such a cruel thing.
Night falls, and the palace garden is quiet. Empress Chen sits alone by the window of her chamber, gazing at the moonlight outside.
Her heart is filled with complex emotions - love for her sister, loyalty to the emperor, worry for the harem... All of this intertwines, making her feel incredibly burdened.
And in another corner of the palace, Consort Luo stood quietly by the window, her face illuminated by the moonlight, with a complex and profound light shimmering in her eyes.
The turmoil in the harem this time not only shocked the entire palace, but also deeply touched her heart.
She witnessed how a consort who had been with the emperor for more than a decade lost everything overnight. The stripping of her title and imprisonment in the cold palace all showed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the power game in the harem.
The past friendship appears so fragile and vulnerable in the face of power, unable to withstand a single blow.
This made Consort Luo deeply aware that in this splendid yet turbulent harem, every step in the future must be cautious and thoughtful.
Consort Luo originally planned to assist Empress Chen in taking care of the pregnant concubine and at the same time, find an opportunity to expose Consort Chen's curse conspiracy.
However, Empress Chen rejected her kind intentions. Consort Luo had no ill intentions. She was young, capable of bearing children, and came from a good family background, so there was no need for her to be hostile towards other concubines about the matter of bearing children. The current issue is that the emperor has been avoiding her and not giving her the opportunity to receive his favor and share his bed.
Therefore, her primary task was to win the favor and love of the emperor, and perhaps even attempt to sow discord between the emperor and the empress.
If Consort Luo were not allergic to persimmons, she would not have discovered the problem of persimmon stems in the water earlier than Empress Chen.
Using the network of palace maids and eunuchs she had established in the palace, Consort Luo easily discovered that Consort Chen was behind the scenes. However, Consort Chen disguised her actions very well using natural elements, showing that she was an experienced hand, and there was no evidence to be found at all.
Even now, Consort Luo still can't understand how the water was infused with persimmon calyx. All she knows is that if Empress Chen discovers the persimmon calyx issue, Consort Chen has already designated Consort Sun as the scapegoat. Consort Sun has been hiding many bags of persimmon calyx powder on the roof of her palace.
Consort Luo reported this discovery to her father, Luo Tianquan. Upon learning of this, Luo Tianquan immediately dispatched his strategist, named Xie Wenyuan, to assist Consort Luo.
Under the guidance of Xie Wenyuan, he helped Consort Luo devise a clever strategy, which turned out to be truly brilliant!
One day at an official banquet, Luo Tianquan appeared with Xie Wenyuan. Upon seeing this, Consort Luo immediately approached Xie Wenyuan to chat, hoping to receive more help and guidance from him in the future.
Xie Wenyuan, a graceful and talented strategist, has deep and penetrating eyes that seem to see into the hearts of others. His appearance at the official banquet attracted a lot of attention, but his gaze remained calm and sharp.
When Consort Luo approached to chat, Xie Wenyuan smiled slightly and responded politely, "Consort Luo, it would be my honor to serve you. In this palace, where there is constant turmoil, if you have any needs, I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
Consort Luo felt a sense of joy in her heart, knowing that Xie Wenyuan's involvement would bring her more opportunities. She softly said, "Lord Xie, the matters of the harem are complex, and I know my limitations. If I could have your guidance, I am sure I can establish a firm position in this treacherous harem."
Xie Wenyuan nodded, a glint of determination in his eyes. "Consort Luo, the affairs of the harem are like a game of chess, requiring careful planning before action. Your wisdom and charm are enough to secure your place in this game. I will do my best to assist you."
Later, Xie Wenyuan and Consort Luo walked out of the palace banquet and had a conversation, discussing some of the secrets and strategic methods of the harem. Consort Luo listened with great interest and couldn't help but admire Xie Wenyuan's talent even more.
After the banquet, Consort Luo returned to her palace, filled with new plans and expectations. She knew that with Xie Wenyuan's help, her position in the harem would be more secure in the future, and she might even achieve greater victories in the struggle for power.
Xie Wenyuan's clever strategy, devised with the help of Consort Luo, allows her to achieve her goals by using someone else to do her dirty work.
First, let her bribe a palace maid to cause disturbances near Empress Chen's residence, by placing items such as witchcraft, talismans, incense, and voodoo dolls. Empress Chen is kind-hearted and may not necessarily harm the palace maid.
As a result, when Consort Chen hears about this, she will naturally show her vulnerability.
Consort Luo sent people to monitor for a long time, even personally participating in surveillance, which was also the reason for her recent physical discomfort and fatigue.
Finally, today, a palace maid told her that Consort Chen's palace maids and palace guards were trying to take advantage of the chaos caused by the miscarriages of the three concubines to smuggle these items out of the palace, which led to her exposing Consort Chen.
In the palace, Consort Luo has been puzzled by one thing: since Consort Chen has already used persimmon calyx powder mixed into the water.
Why curse again and give people a handle to grab onto?
Isn't it because she thinks that curses are useless, that's why she used persimmon calyx powder?
Consort Luo was lost in thought in her palace, her brows furrowed slightly as she pondered the underlying reasons behind Consort Chen's actions.
She couldn't help but wonder: Why would Consort Chen resort to using practical methods like persimmon calyx powder, only to follow it up with curses and other forms of witchcraft? Isn't she just asking for trouble?
She gradually began to understand that this might be a psychological tactic of Consort Chen. In the palace, a place full of conspiracy and power struggles, sometimes the power of fear and superstition is more effective than actual means.
Consort Chen may be trying to use the fear of witchcraft curses among the palace concubines to achieve her goals, causing other concubines to feel fearful after discovering it in their own gardens, thus gaining a psychological advantage.
In addition, Consort Chen may have another consideration. Even if the matter of persimmon calyx powder is exposed, she can still use witchcraft to divert attention, making people believe that the real reason is a curse, not persimmon calyx powder.
In this way, even if Consort Chen is suspected, it is difficult to determine if she actually used persimmon calyx powder.
Consort Luo The more I think about it, the more I feel that Consort Chen's scheming is deep. I can't help but feel a hint of awe for Consort Chen's cunning and strategy.
At the same time, I realize that in the power struggle of the harem, I must be more careful so that I won't end up in the same situation as Consort Chen.
