After Su Yao was banished to the Cold Palace, the Ye Dynasty's harem finally regained some peace.
Xiao Yichen, Shen Yifeng, and Empress Chu Yunlan cherished this hard-won peaceful time even more.
However, fate did not seem to intend for them to have such good fortune forever.
One day, a high-ranking monk from a foreign land came to the palace, claiming that he could ward off disasters and pray for blessings for the Empress.
The Empress was initially skeptical, but seeing the high monk's earnest words and devout appearance, she allowed him to enter the palace to perform the ritual.
Who would have thought that this high monk was just a facade?
His true identity is that of a spy sent by an enemy country, named Mokha.
He was skilled in using Gu poison and mind control techniques. After entering the palace, he secretly tampered with the Empress's food, causing her to be sometimes dazed and sometimes irritable.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng were the first to notice the Empress's unusual behavior. They secretly observed her and discovered Moke's conspiracy.
But Moko was extremely cunning, and he never left a trace of his actions, making it difficult for them to find any fault with him.
In his search for evidence, Xiao Yichen risked infiltrating Mo Ke's residence, but was unfortunately discovered and found himself in danger.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen had not returned for a long time, Shen Yifeng knew something was wrong and hurriedly tried to rescue him.
Just when things were at their most critical, Shen Yifeng arrived with his guards and, together with Xiao Yichen, subdued Mo Ke.
After a period of interrogation, Moko finally confessed to his crimes.
When the Empress learned the truth, she was both shocked and furious, and deeply regretted her negligence.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng comforted the Empress, saying that as long as it was detected in time, it would not cause too much damage.
Having gone through this ordeal, the Empress became even more reliant on Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng, and they vowed that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would protect the Empress and the peace of the Night Dynasty's harem.
As time goes by, life in the imperial harem remains full of unknowns and challenges.
But with the combined efforts of Xiao Yichen, Shen Yifeng, and the Empress, all the conspiracies and schemes will eventually be exposed, and the sky over the Night Dynasty's harem will continue to be clear.
After Moke's conspiracy was thwarted, the Ye Dynasty's harem enjoyed a brief period of peace.
However, this peace was soon shattered by a woman named Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er comes from a prestigious family and is exceptionally talented, but she is also very cunning.
Her purpose in entering the palace was not to gain the Empress's favor, but for the benefit of her family, attempting to establish her own power in the harem.
When she first entered the palace, Lin Wan'er behaved gently and gracefully, showing great respect to the Empress and treating Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng with courtesy.
Gradually, the empress lowered her guard against her and began to entrust her with important responsibilities.
Lin Wan'er used the Empress's trust to win people's hearts and suppress dissidents in the palace.
She first plotted to frame several concubines who were at odds with her, and banished them from the harem.
Then, they turned their attention to Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng.
She falsely accused Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng of forming a clique and plotting a rebellion before the Empress.
The Empress initially did not believe it, but Lin Wan'er was eloquent and kept making up lies, which made the Empress suspicious.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng realized Lin Wan'er's plot and decided to take the initiative.
They collected evidence of Lin Wan'er's family's corruption, bribery, and oppression of the people, and presented it to the Empress.
Upon seeing the evidence, the Empress suddenly realized Lin Wan'er's true purpose.
Enraged, she banished Lin Wan'er to the cold palace and severely punished her family.
Having weathered this storm, the Empress's trust in Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng became even stronger.
She knew all too well that in this complicated harem, only they were truly kind to her.
However, the power struggles within the harem did not end there.
New characters have appeared, and new conspiracies are brewing in the shadows...
