Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

At night, in Xiuzhen Palace, Ye Cairen, who had just returned from the palace, was dressed up by Xiaocui. When she learned that she was pardoned and could continue to stay in the palace, her heart was filled with gratitude and joy.

She decided to go to the Yangxin Palace in person to thank the emperor. After carefully dressing up, Ye Cairen put on brocade clothes.

She arrived at the gate of the Yangxin Palace with a nervous mood and asked to see the emperor. The guard conveyed her request to the eunuch, and soon she was allowed to enter the palace.

Ye Cairen stepped into the hall, knelt on her knees and bowed deeply to the emperor, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am grateful." The emperor looked at her with a smile, "Stand up, Ye." Ye Cairen stood up, lowered her head, not daring to look the emperor in the eye.

"I believe you are innocent, so I have pardoned you. However, you need to be careful with your words and actions in this palace." The emperor's voice carried an unquestionable majesty that made people feel awe.

Ye Cairen quickly knelt down to thank him, her voice full of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I will obey your instructions!"

The emperor nodded to show his satisfaction. Then he said, "I have also released Prince Rui. I believe he would not dare to be disloyal!" After saying that, the emperor's eyes swept over Ye Cairen's face intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see something from her expression.

However, Ye Cairen was only slightly startled, and her expression became a little complicated for a moment, but she soon regained her composure. She lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty is wise, and Prince Rui will certainly be grateful."

When the emperor saw this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought to himself: This woman is really not simple.

"It's getting late. You should go back to the palace and have some rest." The emperor waved his hand, indicating that Ye Cairen could leave the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Ye Cairen kowtowed again to express her gratitude, then slowly stood up and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at the emperor, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in her eyes.

The emperor naturally did not miss her gaze, and a strange emotion surged in his heart. He knew that the struggle in the palace had never stopped, and he had to stay vigilant at all times...

After Ye Cairen returned to Xiuzhen Palace, she could not calm down for a long time. She knew that the emperor had mentioned Prince Rui for a reason. In the following days, Ye Cairen knew how to be restrained and tried to avoid getting involved in the palace struggle.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Although Ye Cairen only wanted to live a peaceful life, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

One day, Ye Cairen unexpectedly received a mysterious letter, and the content of the letter surprised her. The letter implied that someone knew the secret between her and Prince Rui, and used it to threaten her.

Ye Cairen fell into deep fear and she didn't know how to deal with this sudden threat.

In panic, Ye Cairen decided to seek help from the emperor. She came to the Yangxin Palace again, presented the mysterious letter to the emperor, and told him the whole story.

The emperor looked at the letter in his hand with a frown on his face. He realized that there might be a potentially dangerous force in the palace.

In order to protect Ye Cairen's safety, the emperor decided to strengthen her guard and secretly investigate the mastermind behind the incident. At the same time, the emperor also became more suspicious of Prince Rui, and he decided to pay close attention to Prince Rui's every move to prevent any changes.

After a careful investigation, the emperor finally figured out the whole story. It turned out that the mysterious letter was written by Du Zhonghai's youngest daughter Du Jieyu!

This result was so unexpected that everyone was shocked.

No one had expected that Du Jieyu, who usually looked gentle, quiet and unpretentious, would actually do such a thing.

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered Concubine Du to be sent to the cold palace.

"How dare you slander other concubines!" The emperor threw the mysterious letter to the ground.

Concubine Du begged for mercy crying, but the emperor remained unmoved.

"Take him away!" the emperor roared.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my fault that I have caused such trouble." Ye Cairen knelt down and said in pretended panic.

The emperor helped her up and comforted her, "It has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."

After that, the atmosphere in the palace became more tense and everyone felt insecure.

Ye Cairen also seemed to have gained more favor and trust from the emperor because of this incident. However, this storm did not subside.

Ye Cairen knew that the struggle in the harem would never end, so she decided to use this opportunity to get out of the predicament. She began to plan carefully, trying to find Du Jieyu's handle so that she could put her to death.

One day, Ye Cairen accidentally discovered evidence of Du Jieyu's affair with a man outside the palace. She quietly collected everything and prepared to reveal the secret at the right time.

Finally, at a palace banquet, Ye Cairen presented the evidence to the emperor. The emperor was shocked and immediately ordered Du Jieyu to be sent to the palace, and ordered to take back the power of Du Jieyu's father Du Zhonghai and demoted him to a county lieutenant.

Everyone in the harem was shocked, and from then on Ye Cairen became the emperor's most beloved concubine, and her position was extremely stable.

However, she was not satisfied with this, and her ambition grew...
