When Chen Feng'er was immersed in deep thought, the quiet of the palace was interrupted by a palace maid who softly reported, "Your Majesty, Consort Sun and Consort Chen request an audience."
Chen Feng'er showed a slight surprise, but quickly regained composure and nodded in agreement, "Please let them in."
Before long, Consort Sun and Consort Chen slowly entered the palace chamber. Although Consort Sun's face appeared haggard, with the marks of time evident upon it, her eyes still conveyed determination. "Empress, I have something I'd like to discuss with you," she said.
Chen Feng'er gestured for them to sit down and gently inquired, "Consort Sun, what is it that has you so worried?"
Consort Sun took a deep breath, her eyes filled with helplessness: "Your Majesty, both Consort Chen and I are worried about the issue of royal offspring. Currently, there are very few concubines in the palace who are pregnant, and this may affect the stability of the royal family."
Consort Chen added, "Yes, sister, we are all concerned. In order to lighten your burden, I have specially invited Consort Sun, who has become a nun in the temple, hoping to provide additional assistance."
Chen Feng'er flashed a hint of worry in her eyes, but remained calm: "Thank you for your concern. I share the same worries. However, these matters are often controlled by fate, and all we can do is our best."
Consort Sun smiled, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Your Majesty, we appreciate your understanding of our concerns. We will do our best, and the rest, we can only leave to fate."
Consort Chen nodded, her eyes showing determination: "We will work together to serve the royal family with all our hearts and efforts."
The three of them smiled at each other, despite their worries, they also understood that some things were beyond human control. In this palace full of conspiracies and power struggles, all they could do was to do their best to protect themselves and the emperor.
Suddenly, a palace maid rushed in with a nervous look on her face: "Your Majesty, something's wrong. Consort Luo fainted, and the Imperial Physician is on the way to her palace."
Chen Feng'er and Consort Sun exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of unease in their eyes. Chen Feng'er quickly stood up: "Let's go see what's happening." They hurried to Consort Luo's palace, filled with various doubts and worries.
Chen Feng'er, Consort Sun, and Consort Chen quickly walked through the long corridor of the palace, their skirts gently swaying in the wind.
The palace maids followed behind, the atmosphere heavy. Chen Feng'er furrowed her brows, unable to help but speculate on the sudden fainting of Consort Luo.
Upon reaching Consort Luo's palace, they saw Consort Luo lying on the bed, her face pale. Not only did she have a rash and swelling on her face, but also on her hands and feet.
The imperial physician is busy treating her, while the palace maids anxiously wait on the side.
Chen Feng'er stepped forward and asked with concern, "Physician, what's wrong with Consort Luo?"
The imperial physician turned back with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, Consort Luo is suffering from excessive fatigue, possibly aggravated by consuming allergenic food recently, leading to her current condition. She needs to rest well in the near future."
Consort Sun frowned: "Excessive fatigue and allergies? Has Consort Luo been particularly overworked recently?"
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, but the most important thing now is to let Consort Luo rest well."
Empress Chen nodded and turned to the palace maid beside her, saying, "Go prepare some nourishing soup to ensure that Consort Luo gets enough rest."
The palace maid should quickly leave.
As the three of them left Consort Luo's residence, a determined light flashed in Empress Chen's eyes.
Consort Chen whispered, "Sister, isn't there something suspicious about this?"
Empress Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "Indeed, it is somewhat unusual, but we currently lack evidence. We need to be more careful and observe the situation closely."
After returning to the palace chambers, Empress Chen summoned a few palace maids whom she trusted and instructed them to closely monitor the activities in the harem, especially the recovery of Consort Luo after fainting.
"If you discover any clues, report to me immediately," Chen Feng'er's voice was firm and calm.
The palace maids all responded one after another.
It's late at night, and the candlelight in the bedroom flickers, casting a reflection on Chen Feng'er's pensive face.
Her gaze pierces through the window, as if searching for some kind of answer. The gentle breeze outside brings the coolness of the night and a hint of unease.
At that moment, a trusted palace maid quietly entered, her face showing some nervousness: "Your Majesty, there is news that Consort Luo has fainted, possibly related to the recent palace banquet."
Chen Feng'er's brows furrowed slightly, she remembered that banquet, Consort Luo did indeed appear unusually fatigued: "What exactly is the situation?"
The palace maid replied in a low voice, "It is said that after the banquet, Consort Luo had a private meeting with a mysterious figure. However, the specific details are still unclear."
Chen Feng'er felt a ripple in her heart, knowing that in this harem, every private meeting could potentially conceal deeper intentions:
"This matter requires further investigation. You go and arrange it, but be extremely cautious and do not alarm anyone else."
The palace maid nodded, softly acknowledged, and then quietly withdrew.
Chen Feng'er sat alone by the window, her thoughts shining and profound like a sky full of stars.
She sighed softly, unable to help but think of Emperor Han Yu. In this intricate and complex harem, the role of the emperor was always elusive. She couldn't help but ponder how her relationship with Han Yu would unfold.
It's late at night, and in the quiet of the palace, there's only the sound of Chen Feng'er's breathing and the wind outside the window.
She knows that tomorrow will be another new day, with the constant scheming and plotting in the palace never ceasing.
Chen Feng'er gently closed the window, and the candlelight flickered behind her. Her figure stretched in the candlelight, appearing resolute and lonely.
With the arrival of the morning light, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to become fresh and bright.
Chen Feng'er stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside the palace, and her worries seemed to dissipate with the morning breeze.
She turned around, ready to start a new day. The palace maids had already started bustling about, preparing breakfast and tidying up the chambers.
Chen Feng'er glanced at them and couldn't help but feel moved. These loyal women were her strongest support in the harem. After breakfast, Chen Feng'er received some of the palace concubines. They were either flattering or respectful, but Chen Feng'er was no longer focused on these petty court struggles.
Her thoughts still lingered on Consort Luo's fainting incident from yesterday, as well as the identity of the mysterious figure.
At noon, Chen Feng'er summoned the trusted palace maid to inquire about the progress of the investigation into Consort Luo's incident.
The palace maid reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we have found that Consort Luo did indeed have a secret meeting with an unknown envoy from outside the palace after the banquet, but we currently have no clues about the specifics of their conversation."
Chen Feng'er furrowed her brows, and this matter seemed increasingly complicated. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Continue to monitor this, and also pay attention to any other changes within the palace. We cannot take this matter lightly."
The palace maid should be, and then quietly withdraw.
