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

By the time Concubine Su Xian returned to her chambers, the night had deepened, yet she tossed and turned in bed, crumpling the brocade quilt. She sighed, frowned, her heart a restless rabbit. The scenes from the banquet flashed through her mind like slideshows, the intertwining power struggles and the unpredictable nature of human nature, leaving her heart restless. She was consumed by anxiety, as if she were lost in a foggy wilderness, lost in direction, unsure of what turbulent future awaited her.

In the Emperor's chambers, candlelight flickered ambiguously, light and shadow interweaving into a hazy scene. The Emperor, consumed by the intense heat, lost his vision, mistook the Empress for Consort Su. Like a wild animal out of control, he embraced her passionately, murmuring her name in a deep, fiery voice: "Consort Su, my beloved..." His breaths came in rapid, heavy breaths, as if he were pouring out all the pent-up longing within him. His charming gestures, blazing like a raging fire, threatened to consume the person before him to ashes.

A flicker of shame crossed the Empress's face, a fleeting blush like a fleeting, brilliant sunset glow, dazzling and captivating. But then, this shyness gave way to helplessness and bitterness, like a bitter tear that fell straight into the bottomless pool of her heart. Her body stiffened slightly, and she sighed inwardly, "In this emperor's arms, I'm treated like someone else. How pathetic!" But as Empress, what could she do? She could only swallow her grievance and meekly cater to the Emperor. Her voice trembled with helplessness, "Your Majesty..." Her charming eyes held a hint of resentment, but she dared not show it too clearly, forcing herself to feign docility.

The passion gradually subsided, and the emperor regained some clarity of mind, his thoughts drifting to Concubine Su's various performances at the dinner party.

"Empress, what do you think Concubine Su's intention is this time?" There was some doubt in the emperor's tone, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the soft light in his eyes clearly revealed that he unconsciously favored Concubine Su in his heart.

The queen bowed slightly, her watery eyes revealing caution and consideration, and she said softly, "I find it hard to understand at the moment, but Concubine Su's move must be to seek more dependence and support in this harem." Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the waves in her heart, and her slightly trembling hands also revealed her uneasiness at the moment.

The emperor frowned, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes beneath his sword-like brows. He said, "I think she is truly concerned about my kingdom. The worry in her eyes doesn't seem fake."

At this moment, the emperor's eyes gradually became hazy, like the thick fog of late autumn, and his consciousness seemed to be completely swallowed by an invisible but powerful torrent of desire. He stared at the empress before him, but his blazing gaze penetrated the surface. In his eyes, he saw the scantily clad, charming, and picturesque Concubine Su Xian, who was so enchanting.

Concubine Su Xian resembled a fairy from a dreamland. Her flawless skin, as white as mutton-fat jade, shone enchantingly in the hazy moonlight, every inch a masterpiece meticulously crafted by heaven. Her cascading black hair flowed freely, gently brushing against her slender shoulders, adding a touch of allure. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her glances seemed to hold a thousand words, yet held back. Her bright red lips curled slightly, a hint of a smile, as if inviting yet also rejecting. Her figure was graceful, her waist slender as a willow, and as she moved gently, she was like a delicate flower in full bloom, radiating endless charm.

The instinctive desire hidden deep within his soul was ignited in that instant, like a raging fire that spread like wildfire, unable to be stopped. He moved uncontrollably, like a trapped animal without reason, mumbling in his sleep, and unconsciously calling out, "Concubine Su, my beloved concubine... so good..." His calls were filled with obsession and fanaticism, as if the entire world was filled with only the figure in his imagination.

The Queen bit her lip, the resentment in her eyes growing stronger as tears welled up in her eyes, yet she forced a smile and did her best to satisfy the Emperor's needs. Her heart, however, felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows. She knew she was merely a substitute for the Emperor's desires, yet she could not resist this fate. She could only silently endure this endless pain, waiting for the Emperor's passion to fade, leaving behind only a heart full of desolation and sorrow.

At the same time, the scene in Lipin's palace was completely different. Lipin was like an enraged lion, raging like thunder, completely losing her usual elegant demeanor.

"This Concubine Su actually managed to escape death at the banquet. How despicable!" Concubine Li crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it several times. Her delicate eyebrows were twisted with anger, and her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire.

Wanpin cautiously advised, "Sister, don't worry, we still have a chance." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito and timid.

Lipin glared at her fiercely, her gaze as sharp as a sword: "It's all your bad idea that almost ruined everything!"

And Concubine Ning's palace was still filled with her hysterical roars.

"Concubine Su, I will not let you go!" The sharp voice broke through the silence of the palace, frightening the palace maids beside her into silence. They lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

The next morning, the morning light filtered through the window screen, gently casting a light on Concubine Su Xian's slightly tired face. She woke early, sat on the edge of her bed, and stared out the window in a daze. The thought of the Empress' summons filled her heart with a kind of uneasiness, like a little rabbit in her chest.

"Your Majesty, why did the Queen summon you suddenly?" Xiao Taozi asked worriedly while she was dressing Concubine Su, the comb in her hand trembling slightly.

Concubine Su took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "You'll know when you get there. I hope I can handle it smoothly." There was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Concubine Su Xian brought Xiao Taozi to the Empress's palace and bowed respectfully. The Empress looked at Concubine Su Xian again, and saw her eyebrows as dark as distant ink, her eyes full of charm, her skin as white as snow, and her charming and charming appearance that made it impossible to take your eyes off her. The Empress couldn't help but feel sour and jealous, thinking to herself: "This Concubine Su Xian is really a seductress! No wonder the Emperor can't stop thinking about her." But then she thought about Concubine Su Xian's current status in the Emperor's heart and the complex situation in the harem, and the Empress's thoughts changed.

The Queen smiled slightly. That smile seemed gentle, but it carried a subtle, yet profound meaning. "Sister, please get up. I called you here because I want to have a good chat with you about what happened last night."

Although Concubine Su Xian was extremely nervous, she still pretended to be calm, raised her head slightly, and said with a firm look: "Everything is subject to the Queen's orders."

The Queen stared at Concubine Su with a sharp gaze, thinking to herself, "If I can use Concubine Su, she'll help consolidate my position in the harem. But if I can't win her over, I'm afraid she'll be a hidden danger." But she said, "Sister, your performance at the dinner last night really left everyone baffled."

Concubine Su lowered her head and said, "Empress, I am only thinking about the emperor and the harem, and I have no other intentions." Her voice was steady, but her fingers were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.

The Queen took a sip of tea, her lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile: "Really? But it's not so easy to read the minds of the people in the harem." She thought to herself: "Never mind, let me test her first to see if she understands."

Concubine Su bit her lip, a hint of paleness appearing where her teeth were biting it. "Your Majesty, I dare not lie in the slightest."

The Queen put down her teacup and said slowly, "Never mind. I just wanted to remind you, sister, that you must be cautious in your actions within the harem and not choose the wrong side. You are so intelligent. If you can share my aspirations, you will have a place for yourself in the harem."

Concubine Su Xian quickly responded, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I will keep them in mind."
