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

The solemn atmosphere in the court was as heavy and oppressive as lead. General He entered the hall with a vigorous stride, his footsteps so heavy they seemed to dent the ground. He bowed, then, impatiently and with a mixture of grief and indignation, began to recount the injustices inflicted on Concubine He Shu.

He clenched his fists, the veins on his arms bulging like a dragon, his eyes wide open, his eye sockets threatening to burst, and he shouted, "Your Majesty, my sister, Concubine He Shu, has suffered injustice in the palace. I hope Your Majesty will help her!"

Concubine Su sat quietly to one side. Her beautiful eyes appeared calm and composed, her expression unperturbed. However, her heart was racing like a machine, as she pondered, "This General He is coming with such force and momentum. I must be careful and not let him ruin my plans."

She gracefully fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand, seemingly nonchalant, but her eyes would occasionally glance at General He, and she already had some plans in mind for how to respond.

At this time, Lord Zhao, the Minister of Justice, stepped out steadily and respectfully presented the evidence of the He family's crimes with both hands. There was an uproar in the court, and everyone whispered to each other, and the buzz of discussion rose one after another.

General He massacred innocent civilians on the border, using their lives in exchange for military merit, and his methods were extremely cruel.

He falsely reported the battle situation and called a defeat a victory just to seek credit and reward. His behavior is simply intolerable.

General He glared at Lord Zhao with a look that seemed to spit fire, and shouted, "You are maliciously framing me and slandering me!"

As he spoke, he took a sudden step forward, pouncing on his prey like a tiger, as if he wanted to devour Lord Zhao alive.

Lord Zhao, however, showed no fear. He straightened his back, chest held high, and righteously retorted, "General He, do not quibble here! The evidence is irrefutable. Your atrocities on the border are irrefutable and cannot be denied! You massacred civilians and falsely reported military achievements. Such utterly unscrupulous crimes are intolerable to heaven and condemned by both humans and gods!"

General He's face instantly flushed red, like a ripe tomato, and he cursed loudly, "You're talking nonsense! I fought for Your Majesty on the battlefield, shed blood, endured countless hardships, and achieved great military exploits. How could I do such a thing, worse than pigs and dogs! You must be jealous of my achievements and deliberately framed me!"

The two of them argued back and forth, neither of them giving in. Their voices grew louder and louder, the argument became more intense, and the atmosphere became more tense.

General He was furious and turned to Su Jin, asking, "Is it because of Concubine Su's gossip that your sister, Concubine He Shu, has been confined to Rouyi Palace?"

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out, and his fierce gaze seemed to pierce through Su Jin, wishing he could eat her alive.

Su Jin raised his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Humph, it's not that easy to throw dirty water on me."

But she quickly regained her composure and responded calmly, "Concubine He Shu was confined to the palace because she accidentally caused De Fei to miscarry and lose the prince. Your Majesty has been so kind as to confine her to Rouyi Palace."

General He continued, "Noble Concubine Su used a scheme to persecute my sister at the enthronement banquet. What is there to say about this?"

Su Jin's expression remained calm and composed. He pursed his lips slightly, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. In his heart, he was thinking: "This General He is really aggressive, but I'm not afraid."

Then she slowly said, "I am deeply saddened by Concubine He's disfigurement, but it was caused by a broken guzheng string. It was not my initiative, nor was the instrument provided by me. Your Majesty, the Empress, and your father, Lord He, the Minister of Rites, were present at the time."

Then she continued, "I was wrongfully imprisoned in the Canxin Palace. The files from the Imperial Clan Court all point to Concubine He Shu. Considering our sisterly bond, I have forgiven past grudges and repeatedly exonerated Concubine He Shu in front of all the sisters. May I ask if there is any further evidence of the harem's crimes that you would like to inquire of me about?"

Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, powerful, and logically sound, making it difficult to refute.

She raised her chin slightly, and her noble and cool posture could not be ignored.

General He was so angry that his face turned red, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, his fists were clenched and chattering, and his teeth were grinding as if he was trying to break his steel teeth.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed like mountains and rivers, lost in deep thought, secretly pondering the arguments of all parties and weighing the pros and cons.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate and the atmosphere was extremely tense, there was suddenly a commotion outside the hall.

It turned out that a team of personal soldiers of the He family tried to force their way into the palace. For a moment, the shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing resounded throughout the palace like thunder.

"Kill!" "Protect His Majesty!" The soldiers' roars were deafening.

The Royal Guards responded quickly and engaged in a fierce fight with the personal guards like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The flashes of swords and sabers crisscrossed, emitting chilling cold light, blood splattered everywhere like plum blossoms blooming, the crowd panicked and fled in all directions, the palace suddenly fell into chaos, like hell on earth.

Su Jin frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes, and thought to himself, "This is troublesome. I hope the situation doesn't get out of control."

But he quickly regained his composure and tried to think calmly about countermeasures.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor angrily slammed the throne and stood up suddenly. He was furious and shouted at General He: "How dare you lead troops into the palace without permission? This is clearly treason!"
