Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

When Yunxi arrived at the door of the emperor's bedroom, she felt extremely heavy, as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on her. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and explained her purpose to the eunuch guarding the door. The eunuch bowed slightly and respectfully entered the bedroom to report.

A moment later, the eunuch came out and conveyed the emperor's order - allowing Yunxi to see the emperor. Yunxi stepped into the bedroom with light steps, and every step was extremely cautious. She knelt down and saluted, her voice crisp and firm: "Your Majesty, I came here this time to report a very important matter to you, which concerns Ye Ling'er."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, swept a complicated look at Yunxi, and slowly said: "Stand up and talk." Yunxi thanked him and stood up, then told him all the Ye family's conspiracy.

After hearing this, the emperor's face became extremely gloomy. He slammed the table hard and stood up.

"How dare Ye do such a treasonous thing!" the emperor shouted angrily.

Yunxi lowered her head and said nothing, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because she knew that her accusation had attracted the emperor's attention.

"Yunxi, you did a great job. I will send someone to investigate this matter immediately. If Ye is really as you said, she will definitely not escape severe punishment." There was a hint of appreciation in the emperor's tone.

Yunxi knelt down again to thank him. She knew that Ye Shi would not be able to escape this time. Her tone was steady and powerful, and every word was clear, making it impossible to doubt its authenticity.

The emperor's face grew gloomier as he listened. Finally, he was furious. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "How dare the Ye family be so bold! Come here, investigate the Ye family immediately and make sure there are no omissions! If the investigation proves that it is true, they will be severely punished!"

Following the emperor's order, the entire palace fell into a tense atmosphere.

A thrilling palace storm is about to unfold...

Yunxi quietly left the emperor's bedroom, feeling filled with emotion.

She knew very well that this court struggle had just begun, and there would be more challenges and tests waiting for her.

But she is not afraid because she firmly believes that justice will eventually triumph over evil.

At the same time, Ye Cairen learned that Yunxi had reported her, and she was shocked but more frightened.

She began to panic, trying to find a way to deal with it.

However, it was too late, the emperor's order had been issued and the investigation was quickly launched.

What will be the fate of Ye Cairen? Can she escape punishment? And what role will Yunxi play in this palace turmoil? The answer will be revealed soon...

In the emperor's bedroom, Ye Cairen knelt on the ground, tears pouring out like a broken dam. She cried in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me! Yang Yunxi is slandering me and making up lies for no reason to frame me! I am innocent..."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at Ye Cairen who was crying bitterly in front of him, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He thought of Yunxi in the past, who was also so weak and helpless. The emperor comforted her softly, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. When the investigation results come out, everything will come to light."

However, Ye Cairen was not satisfied with this. She cleverly took advantage of the emperor's sympathy and fell into his arms.

Her eyes were full of affection, and she said tenderly, "Your Majesty, I am really scared... If it weren't for you, I would have been unable to bear this injustice."

She gently stroked the emperor's chest, trying to make him feel her fear and dependence.

The emperor was a little helpless, but he still gently patted Ye Cairen's shoulder to comfort her.

He knew that in this palace, there were endless struggles and conspiracies, and Ye Cairen might just be a pawn in it. However, facing such a tearful and pitiful woman, how could he remain indifferent?

At this time, the Queen Mother arrived, accompanied by Yunxi.

At this critical moment, the eunuch at the door shouted "The Queen Mother is here" and a solemn sound of footsteps was heard. The Queen Mother, accompanied by Yunxi, slowly walked into the bedroom.

The Queen Mother was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe embroidered with exquisite patterns. Her steps were graceful, revealing a sense of majesty.

Yunxi followed closely beside the empress dowager, wearing a simple and elegant dress, with a beautiful face and eyes that showed intelligence and alertness.

The arrival of the Queen Mother made the scene tense in an instant. Ye Cairen bowed her head to show respect. The Queen Mother frowned slightly and ignored her.

The Queen Mother's eyes scanned everyone present, as if she could read their minds.

Yunxi stood quietly beside the Queen Mother, like a blooming lotus, exuding a fresh scent.

The appearance of the Queen Mother undoubtedly added a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the whole scene. People can't help but look forward to how her arrival will affect the development of the story.

"Your Majesty, I heard about this and rushed here specially. Ye and Yunxi have always been at odds with each other. Yunxi must have her reasons for reporting Ye this time. I hope Your Majesty will be clear-headed and not be deceived by Ye's beauty!" said the Queen Mother righteously.

The emperor frowned slightly. He understood that what the queen mother said was not entirely unreasonable. Yunxi had always been loyal. If she did not have solid evidence, how could she easily report Ye?

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense. I will handle this fairly. Come, take Ye away and temporarily detain her in the palace while awaiting the results of the investigation." The Emperor gave the order.

Ye looked at the emperor in horror. She had never thought that things would develop to this point. But she still did not give up and cried, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! Please do not listen to the slander!"

However, the emperor has decided to put Ye under house arrest first and make a final decision after finding out the truth.

Seeing Ye being taken away, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth slightly raised. This palace struggle has just begun...

After Ye was taken away, the Queen Mother turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Ye is very ambitious and must not be forgiven easily."

The emperor nodded, "I understand, mother." Then, the queen mother looked at Yunxi, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, "Yunxi, you did a good job this time. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

Yunxi kowtowed to express her gratitude. After leaving the emperor's palace, Yunxi thought that although Ye Cairen was temporarily imprisoned, she would definitely try to escape in the future, so she should not be careless.

At the same time, Ye, who was imprisoned in the Ye Ting, did not sit idly by and wait for death. She decided to find someone to form an alliance with and deal with Yunxi together.

After searching everywhere for information, Ye Cairen finally found another concubine who had also lost favor - Concubine Li. At this moment, Concubine Li had gradually gotten rid of the despair brought about by her initial fall from favor.

Although Concubine Li is now imprisoned in the Ye Ting, the palace maids in the Ye Ting still dare not provoke her easily because she was once favored by the emperor.

Ye Cairen confided to Concubine Li the unfair treatment she had suffered and solemnly promised that if she could regain the emperor's favor one day, she would do her best to help her regain the emperor's favor.

Concubine Li had long harbored resentment towards Yunxi, so she resolutely decided to form an alliance with Concubine Ye. As a result, the two began to carefully plan how to make the emperor believe that Ye was indeed wronged...
