As time passed, the investigation into the unfortunate palace maid deepened within the palace. Eunuchs and palace maids were questioned in detail, and every corner was carefully searched.
This incident caused a great stir in the palace. Everyone was discussing the possible secrets behind this tragedy. Some palace maids were afraid that they might also meet an unfortunate end, while some eunuchs speculated in secret whether this was related to the recent fire.
In this tense and uneasy atmosphere, both Chen Feng'er and Emperor Han Yu appeared particularly solemn. They knew that all of this was not just a coincidence, and there might be more complex conspiracies hidden behind it.
In the corner of the palace, the well became the coldest place in the palace.
Whenever people pass by, they unconsciously quicken their pace, wanting to get away from the horrifying well. The shocking effect of this incident quickly spread throughout the palace, leading to a wave of panic and unease.
The atmosphere in the palace became even heavier and more tense. In the corners of the harem, concubines and palace maids gathered together, whispering about this incident.
A beautiful woman sighed and said, "The things in the palace are truly unpredictable. A palace maid has silently passed away, it's really chilling."
A nearby palace maid responded softly, "Yes, this matter is too strange. Who could have done such a thing? It's too scary."
A eunuch worriedly said, "What's going on with the security in the palace? Now even the lives of the palace maids cannot be guaranteed."
Another concubine echoed, "I wonder if there's some conspiracy behind all this. Lately, things in the palace have been getting more and more unsettled."
A concubine frowned and said, "If such a thing happens, it will probably provoke the emperor's anger. We'd better be careful and avoid being implicated."
"Yes, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, none of us will be safe," a sixth-rank concubine added.
A fifth-rank concubine sighed and said, "The palace's sinister schemes are truly unfathomable. We must be careful."
There is also whispering in the corridor.
Another palace maid said suspiciously, "I heard that the maid was killed because of a private affair. The gossip in the palace is really unpredictable."
A eunuch in the palace speculated, "It could also be some concubine trying to seize power."
"I heard that Princess Chen Xi was previously unconscious due to being drugged. Is all of this related?" a palace maid asked in a low voice.
An elderly eunuch said in a deep voice, "The most important thing now is to stay calm and not spread rumors. No one can explain what's happening in the palace."
A senior palace maid in the palace said in a deep voice, "In recent years, too many tragedies have occurred in the palace. We can only pray that we won't become the next victim."
Finally, a eunuch quietly reminded those around him, "No matter what, it's best to say as little as possible about these matters. Getting involved in the competition and harm between the concubines will only put oneself in danger."
In these conversations, the fear and suspicion of the people in the palace are evident. Everyone is worried about their own safety, and the atmosphere in the palace has become unusually heavy.
Chen Feng'er listened to the discussions outside her sleeping quarters, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted. She couldn't help but wonder if this series of events was truly related to the power struggles within the palace, and whether her daughter Chen Xi would be threatened again.
Emperor Han Yu intensified his investigation into various situations within the palace, determined to uncover the truth behind it all. He ordered all eunuchs and palace maids to be more vigilant and to strictly scrutinize everyone entering and leaving the palace.
Every day in the palace is spent in tension and anxiety. Everyone is waiting for the results of the investigation, hoping to uncover the truth behind this series of events.
As the investigation into the mysterious events in the palace deepens, Emperor Han Yu and Chen Feng'er gradually feel that all of this is not a coincidence. The atmosphere in the palace becomes more oppressive, and everyone lives in suspicion and panic.
At a secret court meeting, Emperor Han Yu said to the ministers, "The consecutive events in the palace are definitely not a coincidence. We must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and ensure the safety of the palace."
The ministers all echoed their agreement, but their eyes revealed a sense of worry. The events in the palace have seriously affected the stability of the royal family.
Emperor Han Yu furrowed his brow, knowing that there must be a complex conspiracy behind this. He turned to the eunuch beside him and ordered, "Intensify surveillance on everyone in the palace, do not overlook any details."
The eunuchs left in response, and the entire palace seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force, with tension permeating every corner.
In her own chamber, Chen Feng'er gazed at the moonlight outside, her mind filled with countless thoughts. She was not only worried about the safety of her daughter, Chen Xi, but also concerned about the consequences of all these events. She knew deeply that in this game of power, any small mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.
As the investigation deepened, some clues gradually emerged. A palace maid stated during questioning that she saw an unidentified figure enter Princess Chen Xi's chamber before the fire broke out. This news immediately caught the attention of Emperor Han Yu.
Emperor Han Yu ordered an intensified investigation and demanded the identification of the mysterious figure. Eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were closely interrogated, with everyone making an effort to recall the events of that day.
On one occasion by chance, a young palace maid revealed to Emperor Han Yu that she had seen a eunuch sneak into Chen Xi's chamber on the eve of the fire.
In a spacious interrogation room in the palace, Emperor Han Yu sat on the interrogation platform, facing a row of palace maids and eunuchs. The atmosphere in the room was tense and serious.
Emperor Han Yu began to inquire, "Who was near Princess Chen Xi's bedchamber that night? Did anyone see any suspicious individuals?"
The first palace maid nervously replied, "Your Majesty, that night I was cleaning near the princess's chamber, but I didn't see anyone suspicious."
Emperor Han Yu continued to ask, "Did you hear or see anything unusual?"
The palace maid shook her head: "No, Your Majesty, everything is normal."
Emperor Han Yu turned to the second palace maid: "And you?"
The second palace maid trembled as she replied, "Your Majesty, I... saw a figure quickly passing through the corridor that night, heading towards the direction of the princess's chamber."
"Can you describe the characteristics of that figure?" Emperor Han Yu asked.
The palace maid pondered for a moment, "That person was wearing eunuch's clothing, but I couldn't see his face clearly because he was walking too fast."
Later, the third palace maid stepped forward and knelt before the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have seen the appearance of that eunuch, it was Xiao Jiang!"
Emperor Han Yu's voice was cold: "How did you see the eunuch named Xiao Jiang enter Princess Chen Xi's chamber? Explain clearly."
The palace maid lowered her head, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, that night I happened to pass by the princess's chamber and saw a eunuch hurriedly entering. He was dressed plainly, but his steps were urgent, as if in a hurry. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was Xiao Jiang."
This news shocked Emperor Han Yu, and he immediately ordered the eunuch Xiao Jiang to be brought before him.
Chen Feng'er faced the sudden shock and felt heartbroken. In a interrogation room in the palace, she stood quietly on the side, watching Emperor Han Yu interrogating the eunuch.
Emperor Han Yu asked the eunuch, "Where were you that night? Did you go to the princess's chamber?"
The eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I... did indeed go to the princess's chamber that night, but I was instructed by someone."
Emperor Han Yu's eyes were filled with cold anger as he slowly spoke, "Tell me, who instructed you to do these things?"
The eunuch trembled, his voice filled with fear: "It's... it's Lady Chen Huang'er, she ordered me to drop the drug into Princess Chen Xi's tea."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng'er reached the peak of agony, unable to believe her ears. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, her heart filled with indescribable pain.
Emperor Han Yu's voice became even more severe: "Do you understand the consequences of doing this? Do you realize this is a great betrayal of the royal family?"
The eunuch cried and said, "I know, but I cannot refuse the orders of Lady Chen Huang'er. She... she threatened me."
At this moment, Chen Feng'er couldn't help but speak: "Why did you do this? Why did you hurt the daughter of the palace?"
The eunuch looked up at Chen Feng'er, his eyes filled with regret: "Your Majesty, I really had no choice. Consort Chen Huang'er said that if I didn't do this, she would harm my family."
Chen Feng'er's heart felt like it had been heavily struck, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair. She had once deeply loved her sister, but now, everything had changed.
"Emperor Han Yu" ordered, "Bring Chen Huang'er here, I want to question her personally."
