In the depths of the palace, facing Su Wanyi's questioning, Su Wanrong's heart surged with emotion. She keenly felt the pain and helplessness hidden deep within the queen, a struggle in the abyss, a sense of powerlessness in the game of power.
"Sister, I know you have been under tremendous pressure," Su Wanrong said softly, her voice filled with deep sympathy and understanding.
Su Wanyi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then turned into deep sadness: "Wanrong, you don't know, since I became the queen, it's like I've stepped onto a one-way path. The emperor's alienation, the harem's scheming, I've endured it all, hoping to make a difference. But now, even the right to bear children is being taken away, I feel an unprecedented despair."
Su Wanrong tightly held Su Wanyi's hand. She knew that within these palace walls, everyone had their own helplessness and pain, even the queen could not escape the shackles of court life.
"Sister, I will do everything I can to help you and not let you bear this alone," Su Wanrong said firmly, her eyes filled with determination.
From that day on, Su Wanrong paid even more attention to the health and mental state of the queen, Su Wanyi, and also began to observe the power dynamics within the palace more deeply, seeking ways to stabilize the situation in the harem. She quietly investigated the true intentions of the imperial physician and discovered a larger conspiracy behind the scenes.
Su Wanrong realized that the power struggles in the palace were far more complex than she had imagined. Behind every subtle transfer of power lay unknown secrets and deals. In order to protect Su Wanyi and maintain harmony in the palace, she had to act with even greater caution and wisdom.
One day, after Su Wanrong finished watching over the Empress Su Wanyi and taking care of her, she was about to leave when the Empress grabbed her hand: "Sister, this is your first time attending the Selection of the Empress-Consort Ceremony. When you accidentally fell into the lake, do you really not remember anything?"
Although Su Wanrong did not recall the incident, she had a vague idea of what had happened and replied calmly, "Let's just let the past be the past, Your Majesty. Take good care of yourself."
After leaving, Empress Su Wanyi couldn't help but burst into tears. She knew in her heart that she was pregnant, but the imperial physician did not tell her, as it was the emperor's intention. Perhaps in his self-righteous consideration for the empress, he had developed suspicions about her.
Recalling all the affairs she had managed in the harem over the past three years, Empress Su Wanyi felt a sense of chaos. Despite her meticulous management of the harem affairs over the past three years, the more orderly it seemed, the more suspicious it appeared.
Originally planned to shift the blame to Consort Sun, but unexpectedly the Emperor graciously sent his daughter Han Xi to Yuanhua Garden, making it impossible for her to find any clues.
This time, deliberately staying in her own palace after the selection of the concubine, when she finally felt happy that she was pregnant, she discovered that her body was actually cold and she couldn't conceive.
The emperor at that time gave her, Su Wanyi, who was still a fourth-rank Yonghua, a dose of Coix seed without her knowledge, mixing it into the tea and food of the late empress. The usual consumption of Coix seed in normal amounts is harmless, but if consumed in excess of five taels, side effects may occur. Especially for pregnant women in their third month, they may often experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, restless fetal movement, or bleeding. Those with insufficient amniotic fluid should never consume it excessively.
Su Wanrong stood at the door, gazing deeply at Su Wanyi, her heart filled with complex emotions. She knew that every subtle change in the palace could affect the fate of the queen and the stability of the entire harem.
"Sister, although we each have different destinies and choices, please believe that I will do my best to bring more harmony and peace to this palace," Su Wanrong said softly, then turned and left.
Su Wanyi Lying alone in the spacious yet desolate palace, her eyes revealed deep helplessness and despair. She knew that her identity and status were no longer her personal choices, but had become a pawn in the power game of the emperor.
She recalled the past, how she had transformed from a pure young girl into a scheming empress, every step seemingly under the emperor's control. And now, even if she wanted to take action, she was firmly bound by invisible means.
In this magnificent palace, Su Wanyi felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and cold. She began to question whether all the struggle and sacrifice were truly worth it.
Since then, Queen Su Wanyi has been constantly cold-shouldered by the Emperor, and it's only a matter of time before he sends someone to strip her of her position as the queen.
In the depths of the palace, Emperor Han Yu sat alone in the study, his brow slightly furrowed, a hint of displeasure crossing his mind.
He just learned that Su Wanrong went to take care of the queen Su Wanyi and successfully cured her illness. Although he was amazed by Su Wanrong's medical skills, he felt more suspicion and unease in his heart.
Han Yu took a deep breath and asked with a serious look in his eyes, " Physician Fu, does Su Wanrong really have the ability to cure Su Wanyi's illness? How does her medical skill compare to yours?"
Physician Fu slightly bowed, speaking with respect and caution: "Your Majesty, Su Wanrong's medical skills are indeed outstanding. She combines ancient methods with modern knowledge and has unique insights into gynecological diseases. Compared to me, we each have our own strengths."
Han Yu furrowed his brows in deep thought and asked in a serious tone, "So, can Su Wanyi's condition really be relieved? We do not wish for any more disturbances in the palace."
Physician Fu cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, Su Wanyi's condition has indeed improved, thanks to Su Wanrong's correct handling of her illness. However, the stability of the harem relies not only on medical treatment but also on Your Majesty's wise decisions."
Han Yu nodded slightly and after a moment of silence, said, "I have been pondering whether Su Wanrong's actions are purely driven by familial emotions or if there are other motives at play. The balance in the harem is extremely delicate, and I do not wish for personal emotions to disrupt this balance."
Physician Fu responded in a low voice, "Your Majesty is wise. The affairs of the harem are as intricate as a game of chess, and every move must be cautious. Although Su Wanrong is the queen's own sister, her every action is indeed worth pondering."
Han Yu's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and coldness, "Since Su Wanyi was born weak and sickly, I have already prepared for the worst. But in comparison, the stability of the harem is more important. Physician Fu, I hope you can keep a close eye on Su Wanyi's condition at all times, while also being mindful of Su Wanrong's movements."
Physician Fu respectfully replied, "I will follow your orders, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to ease your worries."
