After a broken heart, I traveled through time and space and became an abandoned concubine. My fate i

With the emperor's approval, the Ministry of Justice transferred the concubines implicated in the puppet incident to the Imperial Clan Court for further investigation and disposal. The person in charge of this matter was Li Rui, the head of the Imperial Clan Court.

The grand hall of the Imperial Clan Court stood majestic and imposing, its soaring eaves and brackets imbued with a solemn atmosphere. The heavy draperies hung low within, creating a subtly oppressive atmosphere. Consort Liu, closely escorted to the hall by sturdy guards, her once delicate face now pale as winter frost. Her entire body trembled like a leaf trembling in the wind, appearing helpless and fragile.

Liu Chang was extremely frightened. Recalling the ferocious face and vicious words of the threatening man, she couldn't help but shudder.

Li Zhushi's expression was solemn and majestic. He slammed the heavy gavel with a sound like thunder and shouted sternly, "Liu Changzai, do you admit your guilt?"

Liu Changzai fell heavily to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face like a flood. She sobbed and sobbed, unable to speak, "Master, I am truly forced into this situation. Someone has threatened me with extreme severity and cruelty, saying that if I don't do as they say, I will have no place to stay in this inner palace and will be annihilated. The person who threatened me had a sinister look in his eyes, and every time I think of it, I feel the chills down my spine."

Li Zhushi's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes like sharp swords as he stared directly at Liu Changzai, demanding, "Who dares to threaten you so boldly? Tell the truth immediately. If you tell even a single lie, I will not let you off lightly!"

Concubine Liu sobbed, her voice trembling almost to the point of inarticulateness, as she replied haltingly, "That man held a high position and immense power. I dared not reveal his name, fearing it would bring about my own death. I was utterly terrified. My Lord, I was truly cornered and helpless."

Then, the young concubine Yingyue was led up by the guards, trembling and trembling. She was already pale with fear, her lips trembling constantly, unable to utter a complete sentence, as if she had lost her soul.

The young concubine Yingyue grew up in a poor family. After entering the palace, she was bullied. She only wanted to stand out, so she was easily blinded by the illusory benefits.

Li, the head official, glared angrily and shouted, "Little promise, you must tell me the truth. If you conceal even the slightest bit, the consequences will be unbearable!"

The young concubine Yingyue stammered, finally squeezing out a few words through her teeth: "Master, someone promised me many irresistible benefits and solemnly claimed that he would promote me after the success. That person was extremely powerful in the palace, and I was blinded by his greed and bewitched by the illusory benefits. I lost my mind and committed this unforgivable mistake. Master, please have mercy on me and forgive me!"

……

Although some clues vaguely point to Concubine He Shu, Concubine He Shu is currently in power in the palace and her methods are ruthless. Everyone knows that she is deeply favored by the emperor, but the emperor's intentions are difficult to guess. Moreover, Concubine Su herself has tried to exonerate Concubine He Shu, so the clan affairs office can only temporarily investigate other concubines of relatively lower status.

Among them, Concubine Zhen received the harshest punishment. Not only was she mercilessly stripped of her title, she was also forced to perform backbreaking labor in the laundry department. Dejected, she was escorted to the laundry department, her once vibrant eyes now dim and lifeless, their former brilliance vanishing without a trace. She kept muttering, "I refuse to accept, I refuse to accept! How could you treat me like this? Why is Heaven so unfair?"

Halfway through her journey, she suddenly stopped, her eyes wide open, glaring fiercely into the distance, and shouting with resentment, "It was all that bitch Su Xianfei who brought me to this point. If it weren't for her interference, how could I have ended up in such a miserable and desolate end!"

After arriving at the laundry department, the eunuch locked the heavy door, but Zhen Fei was still unwilling to give in. She banged on the door frantically, shouting at the top of her lungs: "This is not my fault. It's all the fault of that bitch Su Mengqi. Concubine He Shu will definitely save me, she will!"

Concubine He Shu was also restless in her own chamber, pacing back and forth, muttering non-stop, "This Lord Zhao, he usually seems smart and obedient, but why didn't he obey my orders at the critical moment! Humph, I must teach him a lesson, so he knows my methods." She picked up an exquisitely crafted vase and smashed it to the ground with all her strength. With a loud "bang", the vase instantly shattered into countless pieces, flying everywhere. She roared, "A bunch of useless bastards! I am now in such a difficult situation, and you are all helpless and unable to do anything!"

Then, she grabbed a precious teacup and threw it at a young eunuch without hesitation. The young eunuch was unable to dodge and was hit on the head, bleeding profusely. However, he could only kneel down tremblingly and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down, I deserve to die!"

The maidservant beside her, Xiao Cui, was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Concubine He Shu's eyes widened in anger, and she pointed at Xiao Cui and cursed, "What's the point of keeping you here? Drag you out!"

Xiao Cui cried and begged desperately: "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!" But she was still dragged out roughly by the ruthless guards like a dead dog.

There was another wronged corpse in the back garden, adding a touch of sadness and misery to this deep and mysterious palace.

Concubine He Shu was still furious. She threw the cup and bowl in anger and shouted hysterically, "Concubine Su, I will never coexist with you! I will not be a human being until I have my revenge!"

Meanwhile, Liu An, the Minister of Personnel, seized the opportunity and submitted a memorial. The memorial, vehemently worded, read: "Recently, an epidemic has ravaged Ping'an Street in the capital, leaving the people in a state of panic and trepidation. Worse still, some have dared to kill people in the streets, and to this day, no reasonable explanation has been given. With such unfair law enforcement, how can we appease the public's anger? I implore Your Majesty to take a closer look and vigorously rectify the situation to reassure the people." As soon as this memorial was submitted, the other ministers echoed it, and the court was suddenly filled with a cacophony of discussion.

Xiao Taozi, who had clashed with Consort Su over the puppet, was imprisoned in a lower-class cell. Her eyes were hazy and confused, and she looked as if she had lost her soul. She stared blankly at a corner of the cell, muttering to herself, "Your Majesty is fine, Your Majesty is fine."

On the side of the Ministry of Clan Affairs, although Director Li conducted extremely strict interrogations of the people involved, all the evidence could not directly prove that Concubine Su was guilty.

Concubine De sat comfortably on the soft couch in the palace. Upon hearing that Concubine Su Xian was safe and sound, a relieved smile spread across her face. She muttered to herself, "Sister Su has always been kind, pure, and gentle. This time, she was able to turn a disaster into a blessing. I believe it must be a blessing from heaven."

While admiring the flowers in the small garden, Concubine Yi heard about Concubine Su's story. She gently caressed a beautiful flower, not letting go for a long time. Her eyes revealed a complex and incomprehensible expression, as if she was recalling every moment she had spent with Concubine Su. She murmured softly, "I only hope she can be safe and sound, and have a smooth and worry-free life."

Rong Guiren was enjoying the natural breeze in the music pavilion. After hearing the news about Concubine Su, she remained silent. She just played the piano casually and slowly played an elegant piece of music. The melodious sound of the piano seemed to silently tell her inner feelings and thoughts.

The harem was in turmoil, with various factions secretly wrestling with each other. Yet, all this turmoil seemed to have nothing to do with Concubine Su. She sat quietly and alone in her prison, her expression serene and calm, as if the outside world's clamor and chaos were but passing clouds, unable to disturb her inner peace and composure.
