Chapter 336 (71 words added)

The space was rich in spiritual energy, and the spiritual fruits grown there were not only vibrant in color but also incredibly fragrant. Eating just one brought a sense of refreshment and improved one's cultivation. Su Wan knew the value of these spiritual fruits and carefully tended to her orchard. One day, news arrived from the palace that the Empress had fallen seriously ill. Su Wan's heart stirred; she understood this might be a good opportunity to solidify her position in the palace. After a moment's thought, she decided to select a few of the finest spiritual fruits from her space to present to the Empress. The next day, Su Wan dressed herself carefully and entered the palace with the spiritual fruits. Upon seeing the Empress, she respectfully bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I heard you are ill. I have specially found some spiritual fruits that may be beneficial to your condition." The Empress, already looking frail from illness, saw the vibrant colors of the fruits and a flicker of joy in her eyes. She ordered someone to bring one and tasted it, immediately feeling invigorated, and her condition seemed to lessen somewhat. The Empress was overjoyed and praised Su Wan highly, bestowing upon her many gold, silver, jewels, and fine silks. Su Wan thanked her and left the palace, secretly pleased with herself. However, she hadn't anticipated that this action would arouse the jealousy of the other concubines. They gossiped behind her back, plotting how to sabotage her, and a new palace intrigue was about to unfold. Several days later, as Su Wan was admiring the gifts from the Empress in her residence, a group of eunuchs and maids stormed in aggressively. The head eunuch shrieked, "Su Wan, receive the decree! The Emperor decrees that the spiritual fruit you presented is an evil substance. The Empress's condition worsened after consuming it; she is hereby banished to the Cold Palace!" Su Wan was terrified and quickly protested, "Impossible! The spiritual fruit is perfectly safe!" But the eunuchs ignored her and forcibly took her to the Cold Palace. It turned out that the jealous concubines had bribed the imperial physicians to falsely accuse the spiritual fruit of being harmful. Su Wan was anxious and angry in the Cold Palace, but helpless. Just when she was in despair, she discovered a spiritual herb in a corner of the Cold Palace that resembled the one in her spatial dimension. A thought struck her: perhaps this herb could save the Empress and clear her name. She carefully picked the herb and managed to have someone deliver it to the Empress. After the Empress took it, her condition indeed improved completely. The Emperor investigated the truth, severely punished the concubines who framed Su Wan, and Su Wan was released from the Cold Palace, regaining the Emperor's favor. Su Wan had another idea: if she could offer spiritual fruits, perhaps she could relieve the Empress's predicament and gain some advantage for herself in the palace. So, she carefully selected several of the best-looking spiritual fruits, placed them in a brocade box, and carefully brought them into the palace. Seeing the Empress's haggard appearance, Su Wan quickly presented the spiritual fruits. The Empress ate one with some skepticism, and soon felt a warm current flowing through her body, and her spirits improved considerably. The Empress was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Su Wan handsomely. Su Wan received the reward and outwardly expressed her gratitude, but inwardly she felt relieved. However, her glory quickly aroused the resentment of the other concubines, especially the arrogant and domineering Consort Li, who was always jealous and envious. Hearing that Su Wan had been rewarded for the spiritual fruit, she was consumed by jealousy and sought revenge. A few days later, a banquet was held in the palace. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Consort Li secretly poisoned Su Wan's wine. Caught off guard, Su Wan drank the poisoned wine and immediately suffered excruciating abdominal pain, her face turning deathly pale. Everyone was shocked, and the Emperor was furious, demanding to know who had done it. Consort Li, however, preemptively accused Su Wan of staging the whole thing to gain the Emperor's sympathy.
