The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"It seems that your senior brother framed you not only to seize the inheritance of the opera troupe, but also to instigate someone behind the scenes."

The virtuous concubine said with a chuckle.

The deer official was surprised.

His eyes were confused, as if he couldn't believe it.

The virtuous concubine didn't want to explain too much.

Bai Lu's personal purse was obtained this morning after she destroyed a secret agent who had been kept in Fengyi Palace for a long time.

Jiang Liuhong was indeed planning to tamper with the stage.

And indeed it was done.

However, no direct evidence was found that this incident was related to Fengyi Palace.

so what?

If there is no evidence, fabricate evidence.

After hearing Fei Wan's report that someone from the Fu family had climbed over the wall to enter and leave Changle Palace, Concubine Xian conducted a careful investigation for a long time but found nothing wrong.

But since she knew that it was the Queen who was plotting against her, she might as well do the opposite and plot against the Queen directly.

I originally planned to put Bai Lu's purse at Jiang Liuhong's residence and find it out after the incident.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Liuhong saw that the matter had become serious, she actually jumped into the lake.

The virtuous concubine asked the palace servant who was retrieving the body to take the purse and wrap it around Jiang Liuhong's hand before retrieving it.

The eldest brother of the Fu family went to his death with the purse of the head maid of Fengyi Palace, and even deliberately plotted against Lu Guan, who was favored by Concubine Xian...

What's strange about this?

Did the Queen instigate internal strife within the Fu family in order to discredit Concubine Xian and make her appear incompetent, so that she could naturally take back power?

The chain of evidence and suspicion was so clear that Concubine Xian was very satisfied with her work.

"You don't have to worry too much. Just take good care of your injuries. I will have the Imperial Hospital carefully treat your skin and will not let you get any scars."

The virtuous concubine comforted Lu Guan.

Lu Guan nodded gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

The virtuous concubine did not dare to delay too long. After giving a few instructions, she stood up and went back to Xianyue Palace.

But his body suddenly shook.

"My lady..."

"It's okay. I drank a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach, so I might be... drunk."

The virtuous concubine took two steps and her hands and feet became weak.

Linglong supported Concubine Xian, but she herself felt a little dizzy.

"What happen to you guys?"

Official Lu was stunned and at a loss.

The virtuous concubine held onto the bed railing, feeling something was wrong.

"Linglong, where are the people in our palace?"

"...half of them are at the birthday banquet in the front, and the rest are cleaning the backyard."

The virtuous concubine came back in a hurry, not wanting to alarm too many people, so she only brought Linglong with her.

The palace servants who hadn't attended the birthday banquet at Changle Palace were being led by a steward to thoroughly clean the backyard while Consort Xian was away. The two guards who had been working in the front yard had also just been sent forward by Linglong to gather information.

Unexpectedly, something happened at this time. Both the master and the servant felt weak and had no strength to call out for help.

"Officer Lu, go to the backyard and call a few people over..."

Before the virtuous concubine could finish her words, she collapsed to the ground.

Linglong went to help him, but she also fell and slid down.

"Empress?!"

Deer Officer exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, Yu Gengyi has been moved out of Yanyun Palace and is temporarily placed in Chuntang Courtyard in the north."

Xianyue Palace.

Cao Bin came back to report after finishing his work.

The emperor thought about it, but couldn't remember where Chuntangyuan was.

“…Not far from Yanyun Palace.”

Cao Bin added.

The emperor was satisfied.

It’s better to put it in a remote place so that it won’t be an eyesore and annoying.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

Cao Bin secretly told the story about the corpse of Jiang Liuhong from the Fu family troupe and the Bailu purse.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged.

Continue watching the singing and dancing in the hall.

He simply ordered, "Investigate. Send all those who should be sent to the torture chamber."

Cao Bin agreed sternly and went down to do his work.

"Where is the virtuous concubine?"

When Lan Zhaoyi saw that Concubine Xian was still not back from changing her clothes, she quietly asked the palace maid beside her.

The palace maid didn't know.

"Go find it."

"Yes."

Lan Zhaoyi was a little uneasy.

Discovered by the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager asked with a half-smile, "What's wrong with Lan Zhaoyi? I see you seem to be looking for the virtuous concubine. Speaking of which, the virtuous concubine hasn't come back for a long time, so you must be feeling unhappy."

"Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort is the most cheerful and cheerful of all. It's never been a bad day, especially since today is the Empress Dowager's special day." Lan Zhaoyi quickly explained, "She must have had a few too many drinks and is taking a walk outside."

"It's getting late. Send someone to look for him."

The Queen Mother ordered.
