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

After several days of recuperation in her palace, Concubine Su Xian's mood gradually improved, but she still felt bored. These days, she was constantly thinking about Concubine De, who had recently suffered a miscarriage. One morning, sunlight filtered through the window lattice, gently streaming onto the floor, casting a warm glow over the bedroom. Concubine Su Xian rose early and sat at her dressing table, gazing at herself in the mirror, her heart filled with worry for Concubine De.

"Xiao Taozi, get ready, we are going to visit Sister Defei." Concubine Su Xianfei whispered.

Xiao Taozi agreed respectfully and began to work methodically. Concubine Su fell into deep thought. "Sister Defei must be heartbroken after suffering such a heavy blow. I must comfort her well." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, and her eyes revealed a deep sympathy.

Soon, everything was ready. Concubine Su Xian was dressed in a light blue palace dress, the hem of which was embroidered with exquisite floral and bird designs, so lifelike that they seemed ready to fly out of the skirt at any moment. She wore a moon-white cloak, appearing dignified and elegant, with graceful demeanor. She wore several exquisite golden hairpins on her head, dazzling, and the tips of the hairpins were inlaid with gems, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. The pearls on the earrings swayed gently, adding a touch of elegance and nobility. Xiao Taozi followed Concubine Su Xian, carefully holding the prepared gifts. The gifts included precious bird's nests, nourishing ginseng soup, and several pieces of soft, colorful silk, all carefully selected by Concubine Su Xian, showing her good intentions and her concern for Concubine De.

Arriving at the door of Consort De's bedroom, Consort Su Xian stopped and gently adjusted her clothes and hair. Xiao Taozi stepped forward and knocked respectfully and gently. The maid inside opened the door and saw Consort Su Xian. She quickly knelt and saluted, "Good luck to Consort Su Xian."

Concubine Su nodded slightly and said softly, "Get up. Please inform Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine that Concubine Su is here to visit."

The maid responded and hurried in to report. After a while, the maid came out and said respectfully, "Empress Su Xianfei, Empress Defei wants to see you."

Concubine Su Xian stepped lightly into the bedroom. The once gorgeous curtains now looked somewhat dim, and the few pots of flowers on the windowsill had wilted. Incense curled from the incense burner inside the room, but it couldn't mask the faint air of sadness.

Concubine De was half-lying on the couch, her face as pale as paper, her eyes filled with endless sorrow and sadness. The bedside table was filled with various nourishing treasures bestowed by the Emperor, but these did not seem to bring much comfort to Concubine De.

Concubine Su quickened her pace, came to the bed, bowed, and said in a gentle and soft voice: "Sister Defei, I am here to see you."

De Fei struggled to get up, and Su Xian Fei quickly reached out to support her, letting her lean back on the pillow. With tears in her eyes, De Fei said in a weak and trembling voice, "My sister is so thoughtful, even coming to see me in person." Then, tears began to roll down her face again, her lips trembling slightly, and her face was filled with misery.

Concubine Su patted Concubine De's hand gently and said softly, "Sister, don't be too sad. It's important to take care of yourself. Seeing you so haggard, my heart feels like a knife is cutting you." Her eyes were full of concern and pity, her brows were furrowed, and she was worried.

Defei looked at Su Xianfei with tears in her eyes and said with a sob, "Sister, I feel so sad." As she spoke, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, which was soaked with tears.

Concubine Su Xian continued, "Sister, you know, there's a cholera outbreak at the border right now, and Concubine He's brother, General He, has been instrumental in suppressing it, so Concubine He has been temporarily confined to the Rouyi Palace. Otherwise, Your Majesty would have brought justice to you long ago."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De was slightly stunned and sighed, "Even so, who can I tell about my grievances?" Her eyes were full of helplessness and despair, and her voice became weaker and weaker.

Concubine Su was busy comforting her: "Sister, the most urgent thing for you is to take care of your health. In the future, you will have the opportunity to give birth to more children for the royal family." She held Concubine De's hand and patted it gently, trying to give her some strength.

After hearing this, Concubine De looked even more sad and murmured, "Sister, the emperor has never come to see me until now. I'm afraid he has already forgotten such a poor person like me." She stared blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face.

Concubine Su felt a pang in her heart. She held Concubine De's hand and said, "Sister, don't think like that. The emperor is very busy with government affairs and may not be able to spare the time." Her voice was a little choked and her eyes were slightly red.

Concubine De shook her head gently and sobbed, "Is this really the case?"

Concubine Su Xian hurriedly comforted her, "Sister, just take good care of yourself. When you recover, the Emperor will remember you."

At this moment, the maids serving nearby also lowered their heads, expressions of sorrow. Some, wearing pale green palace gowns with frayed hems, wore expressions of helplessness and sympathy, secretly wiping away tears. Others, wearing lotus-pink skirts, bit their lips tightly, brows furrowed, as if indignant at Concubine De's fate. They whispered, "Poor Concubine De, she's suffered so much injustice." "Alas, life in this palace is truly difficult."

Concubine De nodded helplessly and said no more.

After leaving Consort De's bedroom, Consort Su Xian felt even more depressed. As she walked, she pondered the uncertain fate of her sisters in the palace, feeling that the palace was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Concubine Su Xian gazed at the high palace walls, feeling a surge of emotion. "The women in this palace are like birds in a cage. They appear to be rich and prosperous, but in reality, they have no control over their own lives. Sister Defei is like this, and so am I."

On the way, she saw the flowers in the garden swaying gently in the breeze, but they also seemed a little lonely. The petals that were once delicate and beautiful now seemed to have lost their vitality in her eyes.

"My queen, don't worry too much and take care of yourself." Xiao Taozi said softly from the side.

Concubine Su Xian sighed deeply and said, "The right and wrong in this palace is really hard to understand."

Before I had time to reflect, the Queen's summons came as fast as the wind.

Concubine Su Xian had just returned to the palace and hadn't had time to sit down and drink tea when the eunuch beside the Queen hurried over and said in a shrill voice, "Concubine Su Xian, the Queen wants to discuss something with you."
