If I’m not mistaken, at first, Lin Shunyi intended to use her for her own gain. However, after playing with her, Lin Shunyi realized that she was filled with suspicion and abandoned that plan. She must have set her sights on De Fei, but the outcome is clear now; a woman who can rise to the rank of consort is not to be trifled with. After two months of close proximity, she ended up ensnaring herself.
De Fei’s beauty and her lethal methods are truly remarkable! When Yun Zhi Yue arrived, most of the high-ranking concubines were present. Lin Shunyi knelt in the center, surrounded by shattered porcelain fragments from broken teacups, blood trickling from her forehead.
The Emperor sat on his throne, his anger simmering down, while the Empress patiently tried to soothe him. "Your Majesty, with your divine protection over the royal heirs, there is nothing to worry about. Please do not let your health suffer."
The Emperor’s expression did not soften; he smashed another teacup onto Lin Shunyi: "Tell me, have I wronged you in any way? How dare you plot against the royal heir? Your entire Lin family deserves to perish!"
Lin Shunyi's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, Consort is wronging me! That sachet I wear every day is just ordinary fragrant grass. I do not know why it has turned red today."
"For the past two months, I have been discussing the sachet with my sister De Fei. If there has been any foul play, it must be my sister De Fei trying to frame me."
Her words only fueled the Emperor's rage further. He stood up and kicked Lin Shunyi in the chest.
Lin Shunyi screamed in pain, her eyes clouded with confusion as if she could not comprehend why he was so furious.
De Fei, being accused, showed no sign of anger; instead, she appeared somewhat vacant and wooden, as if her spirit had been drained.
Liang Fei could no longer hold back: "Why do you choose to wrong someone like this? Why target Sister De Fei? You must not know that Sister De Fei would never harm a royal heir."
"From the time she entered the palace until now, Sister has had three royal heirs, all of whom never had the fortune to see the Emperor's face. She once fell into deep sorrow and nearly hanged herself after the Second Prince's accident."
"That was not even Sister De Fei's child! She couldn’t swim but risked everything to save him. In the end, she managed to push the Second Prince to safety while she herself nearly drowned."
"Though the Second Prince later succumbed to a high fever, in this harem, everyone hopes for Fang Jieyu to safely give birth to a royal heir. Sister De Fei has always been sincere in her intentions."
The Emperor seemed stirred by guilt as he reached out to pat De Fei’s back. Despite her fading beauty after decades together, he still held some affection for her.
At that moment, De Fei spoke up: "Your Majesty, it cannot be right for our offspring in this harem to dwindle away. If Lin Shunyi dares act this way, there must be someone behind her urging this on. I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The Empress's fingers trembled slightly as she fixed her gaze on Lin Shunyi.
The Emperor nodded immediately: "Rest assured; I will uncover this hidden hand."
"Come here! Lin Shunyi has plotted against the royal heir; the evidence is irrefutable. Search Lin Manor and imprison everyone in the dungeons awaiting execution."
The Empress felt a chill run down her spine—this was bad.
As soon as Lin Shunyi heard this, she burst into tears and fell to the ground, clutching at Ming Huang’s dragon boots: "Your Majesty, please show mercy! This is all the Empress’s doing! I beg you to spare my family!"
Yun Zhi Yue let out a soft breath; today was a significant day.
De Fei was deeper than she had imagined. Was her initial target really the Empress?
This matter regarding the sachet was undoubtedly orchestrated by De Fei. After years of enduring, she even risked her life to save the Second Prince, leaving everyone with the impression that she cherished the imperial heirs. Was it all to bring down the Empress today?
To go to such lengths, there must be a considerable obsession driving her. Therefore, those three stillborn heirs must be related to the Empress.
