A few days later, deep within the palace, Queen Chen Feng'er sat alone in her magnificent yet desolate chamber. Her mood mirrored the overcast sky outside, gloomy and heavy. She had endured a series of tragic events in the harem, leaving her filled with sadness and a sense of powerlessness.
The tragic deaths of the four concubines, especially the betrayal by her sister Chen Huang'er, who harmed the imperial heirs, made her feel extreme shame and self-blame.
Since then, Chen Feng'er has repeatedly requested Emperor Han Yu to abolish her position as empress, believing that she is unable to properly manage the harem, or even take care of her own sister.
However, Emperor Han Yu did not comply with her wishes. He firmly stated, "Empress, you are you, and she is she. You are just tired. Take a few days off to rest and your mood will improve. I will also have our daughter, Chen Xi, accompany you after she finishes school."
This morning, when Chen Feng'er got up, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost her balance, falling onto the cold palace floor.
This sudden fall caused panic among her palace maids, and they quickly went to fetch the royal physician for treatment.
The imperial physician hurriedly arrived and, upon seeing the empress lying in bed with a pale face, immediately began to diagnose her. He gently took her pulse, then furrowed his brow with concern.
The imperial physician said to the palace maids, "The Queen Mother is just overly tired and needs to rest well. I will prescribe some calming and nourishing medicine for her, and she should improve after taking it."
Chen Feng'er Queen was helped back to her bed, her mood still heavy. She knew that this was not just physical fatigue, but more so mental exhaustion.
She felt trapped in the palace's conspiracy and power struggles, unable to escape from such a nightmare.
At that moment, her daughter Chen Xi gently pushed open the door and walked in.
With a look of worry and concern on her face, Chen Xi walked to the bedside and said softly, "Mother, what's wrong? I heard that you fell, it's really worrying."
Chen Feng'er looked at her daughter's young and beautiful face, feeling a warm surge in her heart. She gently held Chen Xi's hand and said, "Xi'er, mother is just a little tired. But seeing you makes me feel much better."
Chen Xi sat by the bedside, starting to have a heart-to-heart talk with her mother. She described the scenery outside the palace, trying to comfort her mother's soul with her words.
Chen Feng'er listened to her daughter's words and gradually felt her mood calming down. She thought to herself that no matter how the situation in the palace changed, at least she had a daughter who understood and loved her.
As night fell, the lights in the palace gradually lit up. Chen Feng'er lay in bed, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She is contemplating about the future days, and how to maintain her wisdom and strength in this intricate and complex harem.
The next day, Chen Feng'er's condition improved slightly, but her mood remained heavy. She decided to leave the palace and take a walk in the garden, seeking peace of mind.
The scenery in the garden was pleasant, with flowers, plants, and trees all appearing particularly vibrant, but these beautiful sights seemed unable to comfort her weary soul.
Walking along, she arrived at a tranquil lakeside. The water was clear, reflecting the azure sky and the lightness of the clouds. Chen Feng'er sat quietly by the lake, gazing at the water, her heart in turmoil.
At that moment, Emperor Han Yu quietly approached her. His face bore a gentle smile as he sat beside her and softly said, "Feng'er, you're here. I've been looking for you."
Chen Feng'er looked up at Han Yu with complex emotions in her eyes. She softly replied, "Your Majesty, you're here."
Han Yu noticed the melancholy in Chen Feng'er's eyes. He reached out and gently held her hand, saying, "Feng'er, you have suffered during this time. I know the affairs of the harem have troubled you, but you must know that I am always by your side."
Chen Feng'er listened to Han Yu's words, and it seemed like the frost in her heart began to melt. She softly said, "Your Majesty, thank you. But the matters of the harem are too complicated, and sometimes I really feel overwhelmed."
Han Yu gazed at Chen Feng'er and said earnestly, " Feng'er, I know you are working hard. But I believe in your wisdom and judgment. You don't have to worry too much about the matters of the harem. I will be by your side, facing everything together."
Chen Feng'er listened to Han Yu's words and gradually felt a sense of comfort in her heart. She knew that no matter how difficult the future road might be, as long as she had Han Yu's support and companionship, she would have the courage to move forward.
As the sun set in the west, a golden light shimmered on the surface of the lake. Chen Feng'er and Han Yu sat side by side, watching the distant sunset.
At this moment, the two hearts seemed to reach a certain tacit harmony. The lingering light of the setting sun reflected on their faces, bringing a hint of warmth and tranquility.
Han Yu turned to look at Chen Feng'er with deep affection in his eyes, and softly said, "Feng'er, no matter how many storms the future may bring, I will always be with you."
"The disputes in the harem, I will help you resolve one by one. You just need to maintain your kindness and wisdom, be yourself."
Chen Feng'er heard these words and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. She knew that the Emperor's words were full of sincerity and support.
She nodded gently and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty. With your support, I will be stronger."
At that moment, a gentle breeze passed by, lightly brushing their cheeks and bringing a hint of coolness.
The water on the lake gently ripples, emitting a pleasant sound, as if providing accompaniment to the harmonious dialogue of the Emperor and Empress.
As the sky darkens, the lanterns in the palace garden gradually light up, adding a touch of mystery and beauty to the night garden.
Chen Feng'er and Han Yu got up and walked hand in hand back to the bedroom. Their figures elongated in the light, appearing particularly harmonious.
As night fell, the atmosphere in the palace became even more tranquil. On such a night, Emperor Han Yu dispatched Mr. Lin to Consort Luo's chambers, bearing gifts from the royal family.
Mr. Lin entered Consort Luo's chambers, carrying the precious gifts bestowed by the emperor.
These gifts are not only a reward for Consort Luo's exposure of Consort Chen's misdeeds, but also an affirmation of her intelligence and courage. With the arrival of these gifts, Consort Luo's position as a consort has been elevated to Second-rank noble lady, undoubtedly a great honor in the palace.
Consort Luo accepted these rewards with gratitude and a hint of nervousness. She knew that such a promotion not only brought honor, but also meant greater responsibility and more attention focused on her.
After presenting the gifts, Mr. Lin finished reading the emperor's decree. Then he approached Consort Luo and conveyed another message from the emperor: "His Majesty said that if Consort Luo can speak the truth earlier next time, it would be better."
These words shook Consort Luo to the core. Her expression changed slightly as she sensed the warning in the emperor's words.
This is not only a commendation for her, but also a subtle reminder, reminding her to be cautious with every step in the harem, and to present the truth to the emperor in a timely manner.
Consort Luo felt a chill in her heart, cold sweat streaming down. She quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, servants will remember the emperor's teachings."
Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction and left Consort Luo's palace. Consort Luo stood in the palace, watching Mr. Lin's figure disappear into the night, with complex and unresolved thoughts in her heart.
Consort Luo pondered for a long time in her palace, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. The joy of being promoted to Second-rank concubine was deeply overshadowed by her profound worries. She was acutely aware that the power game in the harem was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.
She knew well that the Emperor, though seemingly preoccupied with state affairs, appeared to have no time to manage the harem, but this was just a facade. In reality, the Emperor was in complete control of the harem's dynamics, and every move was carefully planned.
This is also a lesson that the emperor wants Consort Luo to understand: he does not want Consort Luo to follow in the footsteps of Consort Chen, blindly fighting for power and profit, only to end up being relegated to obscurity.
As the night deepens, the lights in the palace gradually extinguish, and a quietness descends. Consort Luo walks gently to the window, gazing at the moonlight outside.
Her heart is filled with schemes and strategies, but at the same time, there is also unease and fear. Consort Luo knows that she must be more cautious, carefully considering every step. In this harem, a small mistake could lead to irreparable disaster.
