Shortly after, Chen Huang'er was escorted into the interrogation room, a hint of confusion and fear on her face. Having just been brought out from the cold palace, she was completely unaware of what had happened.
"Chen Huang'er, do you know why you have been brought here?" Emperor Han Yu's voice was cold, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
Chen Huang'er trembled, her voice filled with uncertainty: "Your Majesty, I... I don't know. I was in the cold palace, everything has nothing to do with me."
Emperor Han Yu slowly produced a document, which recorded all the evidence and confessions. "These are the investigation results of the incident involving Princess Chen Xi being drugged. Your guilt has been exposed."
Chen Huang'er's face instantly turned pale, panic showing in her eyes. "No, it's not possible. This can't be true, someone must be framing me!"
Emperor Han Yu's voice grew even colder. "Do you still want to deny it? The eunuch has already confessed that you instructed him to drop the drug into Chen Xi's tea. What was your motive? Jealousy of your sister Chen Feng'er? Or did you have designs on me?"
Faced with these irrefutable evidence, Chen Huang'er finally collapsed. She suddenly burst into a crazy laughter, "Haha! As expected, I already said it wasn't me. If the emperor didn't believe, would my sister believe me now? All of this is just fate's mockery!"
Her laughter was filled with despair and madness, "Yes, I was jealous of my sister! I admired the emperor! But how could I have known that my moment of weakness would be manipulated, leading to this point."
Chen Feng'er listened to her sister Chen Huang'er's wild laughter and confession, feeling heartbroken. She never expected that her sister's heart was filled with so much hatred and despair.
Emperor Han Yu solemnly announced the sentence for Chen Huang'er, "Chen Huang'er, for your crimes, you are sentenced to death as a warning to others."
Chen Huang'er's laughter gradually stopped, and a hint of resignation and despair appeared on her face. Her eyes looked empty as she gazed ahead, as if she had already accepted her fate.
"I could have exposed her, but because of the emperor and my sister, you have been so cruel to me. I have decided to let her continue to stay by your side and continue to torment you!"
Emperor Han Yu's brows furrowed, and Chen Huang'er's words shocked and puzzled him. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you saying? Who else is involved in this conspiracy?"
Chen Huang'er sneered, her eyes filled with a hint of madness. "Do you think all of this was my idea alone? No, Your Majesty, the power game in the harem is far more complex than you imagine. But now, I won't say anything more. Let you uncover the truth for yourselves."
Chen Feng'er stood aside at this moment, listening to her sister's words, her heart filled with pain and confusion. She looked at Chen Huang'er and pleaded, " Hang'er, tell me, is all of this true? Did you really participate in the conspiracy against Chen Xi?"
Chen Huang'er turned to look at her sister, her eyes filled with deep despair. "Yes, sister, I did. But do you know? I have never had a day of happiness in this palace. You have everything, and I have nothing. I just wanted a little status, a little love."
Chen Feng'er's tears flowed uncontrollably, feeling immense pain and sorrow. She couldn't believe that her sister had come to such a point.
Emperor Han Yu looked at Chen Huang'er and his voice was cold, "Your sorrow cannot be a reason to harm others. You must bear the consequences of what you have done to Chen Xi."
Later, Emperor Han Yu ordered Chen Huang'er to be taken to the cold palace, preparing to await the final judgment.
Chen Huang'er Before being dragged away, suddenly burst out with a shocking message, her voice filled with pain and anger: "Sister, do you know? When I was pregnant that year..."
Chen Feng'er Upon hearing this, her gaze was immediately drawn over, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Chen Huang'er was in tears, her voice filled with despair: "At that time, my child's gender was still unknown. I had a miscarriage when I was five months pregnant, and it was a boy. Later, I found out that my child was killed by the emperor..."
The face of Emperor Han Yu immediately turned cold and stern, and he interrupted Chen Huang'er: "Stop! These absurd accusations, do you want to overturn the case with this?"
Chen Huang'er laughed wildly, tears and smiles intertwined, looking unusually crazy: "He has set his sights on my sister, wanting to marry you, and even more so, wanting you to bear his legitimate eldest son! That's why he killed my child..."
Chen Feng'er's face turned ashen, a raging storm surged in her heart. Could all of this really be true? She dared not believe it, but as she looked at her sister's pained and contorted face, her heart began to waver.
Emperor Han Yu couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "Drag her away! We will question and execute her in three days!"
Two burly eunuchs immediately stepped forward and roughly dragged Chen Huang'er away.
Chen Huang'er was still screaming wildly as she was dragged, her voice echoing through the palace, terrifying everyone.
Chen Feng'er stood in place, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and pain. She turned to look at Emperor Han Yu with a questioning gaze.
Emperor Han Yu's eyes were firm and heavy as he walked towards Chen Feng'er, gently embracing her. "Feng'er, don't listen to her nonsense. She's gone mad, everything she says is a lie."
Chen Feng'er leaned into the Emperor's embrace, tears streaming down her face. Her heart was filled with confusion and pain, like a sudden storm, but she had nowhere to express it.
The atmosphere in the palace became even heavier, and Chen Huang'er's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in everyone's hearts. People in the palace were all discussing and feeling shocked and uneasy about everything.
Chen Feng'er returned to her own chamber, lying quietly alone, tears silently streaming down her face.
Her heart was filled with doubt and fear, not knowing which of her sister's words were true and which were false. But the only thing she could be sure of was that she felt deeply saddened and disappointed by her sister's actions.
She lay alone in the bedroom, turning her head to look at the night sky outside, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She thought sadly about who she could trust in this deep palace.
Emperor Han Yu felt extremely exhausted after dealing with this series of events. He came to Chen Feng'er's chamber and gently comforted her, "Feng'er, are you okay?" he asked tenderly.
Chen Feng'er shook her head softly and spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the palace intrigues have worn the servants out. I only hope that our daughter Chen Xi can be safe."
Han Yu tightly held her hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will protect our family and ensure they are not harmed. I will also uncover all the conspiracies in the harem one by one."
His determined gaze and vow-like words gave Chen Feng'er a hint of comfort. But she knew that this struggle was far from over, and new turmoil could arise at any time.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the palace became more serious. Emperor Han Yu intensified the monitoring of the harem and also strengthened the collection of intelligence from outside the palace to prevent external interference.
As the days passed, Chen Xi's condition gradually improved, and Chen Feng'er's heart also gradually stabilized.
But she knew that this was only the beginning of a long struggle. In this harem full of conspiracy and power struggles, she had to remain vigilant at all times, constantly striving for the safety of herself and her family.
And in the shadows of the palace, new conspiracies and plots were quietly brewing, foreshadowing even more complex and difficult challenges in the future.
