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

In the study of the Imperial Clan Court, dim light filtered in through the narrow window lattice, illuminating the old bookshelves and the piles of files inside. Li Zhushi frowned, his hands like iron pliers tightly grasping the fatal file, and the blue bricks under his feet had been stepped on and left shallow marks. He kept muttering to himself: "What should I do? Concubine He Shu is all-powerful in the court, with power over the government and the country. Think about how many officials in the court flatter her and follow her orders. In the harem, she is the emperor's favorite, and her favor is unmatched. If I disobey her instructions, I am afraid my life will be in danger, and even my whole family will be implicated!" He sighed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, like beads that had broken off the string, each one filled with his fear and entanglement.

The subordinate stood by, trembling, his eyes filled with fear, and spoke in a trembling voice: "Master, this matter is indeed extremely difficult and dangerous. Look at this file, every word points to Concubine He Shu, but if we are not careful, we will fall into an abyss from which there is no escape."

Director Li glared at his subordinate fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire: "Do you need to tell me this? I know it clearly in my heart! If there is any mistake in this matter, we will all die without a burial place. But if we conceal it and do not report it, we will still not be able to escape death in the future. I, Director Li, have worked diligently in the clan affairs office for many years and have never encountered such a difficult problem." His eyes wandered in the study, as if looking for a way to survive.

After much hesitation, Li finally decided to carefully report to the emperor. He knew that taking this step would mean his life or death, but there was no other way.

In the imperial study, the scent of sandalwood filled the air. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face gloomy, his desk piled high with memorials about the border war. He was deeply troubled by the raging war on the frontier. Hearing Li Zhushi's hesitation, he shouted, "Stop fussing and speak frankly!"

Li Zhushi knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the clan clan office has made some progress in the complicated case in the harem, but..."

The emperor's brows were furrowed tightly, like the Chinese character "川" (Chuan), and he stared at Li, his eyes sharp: "Just say it!"

Li Zhushi gritted his teeth and stammered, "This matter seems to be related to Concubine He Shu, but there is no solid evidence yet. Please let the emperor make the decision."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said casually, "Hmm."

As if he had been pardoned, Li Zhushi crawled out of the imperial study, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

In the court, Lord Zhao, the Minister of Justice, has always been upright. It's a pity that he doted on his only son too much, which led to him being caught.

"Sir Zhao, don't you admit your guilt for the crime you committed?" A minister accused fiercely, and the voice seemed to penetrate the sky.

Lord Zhao straightened his back and spoke righteously, "I have devoted myself to my country and have dedicated my life to it. What crime have I committed? You are clearly slandering me. You can always find excuses to accuse me! Back then, Lord Zhao devoted himself to the court. Every action was for the country and its people. Yet, you, a bunch of villains, are slandering me."

"Humph, the evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble!"

Lord Zhao looked at his former colleagues who used to be brothers and sisters, but now they were taking advantage of his misfortune. He was filled with grief and indignation, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are a bunch of opportunists. In order to please Concubine He Shu, you are so unscrupulous and have framed me against your conscience. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?" His heart was filled with disappointment and helplessness.

Under the tyranny of Concubine He Shu, all the ministers were silent as a mouse, with their heads lowered, not daring to say a single fair word on behalf of Lord Zhao.

Back then, Concubine Su Xian was also the most favored of the emperor. Her exceptional talent, stunning beauty, and kindness earned her the emperor's affection. However, Concubine He Shu, who had hoped to win over Concubine Su Xian, realized that she was no ordinary woman and her rise would be difficult to control. Jealous of her favor, she plotted a plot against her. Concubine Su Xian fell into the trap, falling out of favor and being deposed.

Now, Su Jin, who had traveled through time, had become Consort Su Xian. Despite the dark, damp, and nauseating stench in the prison, she remained calm and composed.

Xiao Taozi was transferred to be with Concubine Su Xian. When she saw Concubine Su Xian, her tears burst like a river bursting its banks. She cried bitterly: "My queen, you have suffered so much."

Concubine Su patted Xiao Taozi's back gently and comforted her tenderly, "Don't cry, this little suffering is nothing. I, Concubine Su, am upright and have done nothing wrong. I am not afraid of their false accusations. I, Su Jin, have seen all kinds of storms in the modern world. I will definitely be able to break this little palace conspiracy."

Little Peach wiped her tears and said indignantly, "My Queen, we can't just let them do whatever they want. We must find a way out and expose their conspiracy."

Concubine Su Xian's eyes were firm, and the corners of her mouth were raised, revealing a confident smile: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It won't be that easy for them to bring me down."

Concubine Su said to the jailer, "Bring me some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."

The jailer looked embarrassed and hesitated, "My lady, this is against the rules."

Concubine Su Xian's expression was dignified, and she said without question, "Go quickly. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility alone. I will write down the truth and let everyone know."

The jailer had no choice but to do as he was told.

Concubine Su wrote quickly, her pen moving like a dragon, and she wrote down several poems.

The concubines in the harem gathered together, whispering to each other, looking nervous and curious.

"I heard that Concubine Su wrote poetry in prison." A concubine opened her eyes wide, full of curiosity.

"Really? I wonder what she wrote." Another concubine twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand.

"I heard that what she wrote was all about her own grievances and worries for the country. She is worthy of being Consort Su Xian. She is talented and courageous. I admire her."

When Concubine He Shu heard these rumors, she was furious and smashed a lot of porcelain again. The crackling sound of the porcelain echoed in the palace.

"Concubine Su, you will never succeed!"

After dealing with the mountain of urgent memorials from the border in his study, the emperor was exhausted. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

The eunuch reported cautiously, "Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the harem, Concubine Su Xian wrote several poems in prison, and now they are spreading like wildfire in the palace."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, his voice slightly tired: "I am busy dealing with state affairs and have no time to care about these things."

After a while, the emperor could not help asking, "What did she write?"

The eunuch hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su Xian wrote several poems, including "Wronged," "Concerned for the Emperor," and "Concerned for the Country," expressing her innocence and her concern for Your Majesty and the country."

The emperor was slightly moved. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Bring it here for me to see."

In the palace, the maids gathered in a corner and whispered.

"It's remarkable that Concubine Su Xian can remain so calm even in this difficult situation."

"Yes, maybe there will be a turning point in this matter."

The court ministers were also discussing it privately outside the court.

"Things in the harem are so complicated now. I wonder if Concubine Su will be safe."

"Well, it's hard to say. Let's wait and see what happens next."

When the queen heard about this in the palace, she was so angry that her eyebrows raised and she threw the teacup in her hand heavily to the ground.

"I've heard about Concubine Su's affairs a long time ago. Concubine He is so arrogant and domineering, does she really think there is no one in the harem?" She said to the palace maid beside her, "I want to see what kind of waves Concubine He can stir up!"

The palace maids immediately took action and ran around to make contacts.

The Queen Mother was in her palace. After hearing this, the Buddhist beads in her hand stopped turning and her face became gloomy.

"This harem is in complete chaos!" the Empress Dowager cried angrily. "I will issue this imperial decree, ordering the Empress to handle this matter with full authority and to get to the bottom of it. I want to see how long this Concubine He Shu can continue her arrogance!"
