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

Queen Zheng Yunyi turned her wooden eyes and met Fei Wanqing's eyes as cold as a spring.

A dumb smile.

"I lost, but I... was not wrong!"

She carefully looked at Fei Wan's eyes, Fei Wan's face, and her delicate and soft figure, from head to toe, and from toe to head.

"You are young and good-looking, and His Majesty likes you. I only lose because I am a little older than you, and I have more dignity than you. Also, my status does not allow me to do anything coquettish."

The queen thought that the emperor had kept his hair loose just now, and he must have been combing his hair.

When she was newly married, she had also been so close to the emperor. The warmth and tenderness between the two of them were so unforgettable.

She combed the emperor's hair, and the emperor also combed her hair, put flowers in her hair, and even drew her eyebrows.

But gradually, it disappeared.

She finally became a decoration in the imperial palace.

New people come up one after another, and it is like a wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze.

"Zhao Ronghua, you are so glorious now, but don't forget that the person you stepped on to get to the top was your elder sister, Yu, who was promoted to Imperial Concubine a little over a year ago.

She lost, and you came up. How do you know there won't be another person rising faster behind you?

By then, you will end up like Yu Gengyi today.

No, your fate will be even worse than hers!"

The corners of the queen's mouth slowly curled up, revealing malicious anticipation.

Fei Wan gently shook her head. "She's not my sister. And your Majesty, you didn't lose because of your status or talent. Majesty, if you think that being exposed for what you've done is a loss, then you'll never realize your mistakes, and you'll never achieve the victory you imagined."

"Your Majesty, your mistake lies in not understanding the heart of His Majesty, nor the hearts of everyone in the harem, the court officials, and the people of the world.

Do you know how important the words "Mother of the World" are?

The Queen was furious: "I don't know, how could a lowly servant like you know?"

A sharp coldness flashed across Fei Wan's brows for a moment.

Bitch.

Everyone scolded her like that.

"If you are forced to sell your body to make ends meet because your family is poor and you don't have enough to eat, then you are a lowly person. Then anyone in the world has the potential to be a lowly person."

"If your majesty is convicted, her family will be confiscated and she will be exiled, and her female relatives will become slaves to the government. Then all the girls in your family will become 'lowly servants'!"

The Queen snarled, "How dare you curse my family! I'm not dead yet, I'm just recovering from my illness, and you're dreaming of confiscating my property and taking the throne yourself! How ridiculous!"

Fei Wan said: "I'm just giving an analogy. If you can put yourself in my shoes..."

"I know exactly what you are thinking, and I don't bother to empathize with you because your heart is dirty and vicious." The Queen interrupted with a sneer, looking at Fei Wan with extreme contempt and warning, without any of her usual gentleness and kindness.

"You've only just been promoted to Ronghua, and yet you're so delusional, you dare to plot against me. I'm afraid your good days are almost over. Your Majesty hates frivolous and arrogant people the most!"

The queen turned away.

This time, he didn't need the palace maids to "escort" him, and he walked away quickly.

The people from Fengyi Palace hurriedly loaded the phoenix sedan chair and chased after it, quickly disappearing into the gradually darkening night.

Fei Wan stood in the corridor in front of the palace, quietly shedding a few tears.

"What do you think is the significance of 'Mother of the Country'?"

The emperor stepped out of the palace.

Fei Wan and the Queen were standing not far from the palace entrance and talking. Although their voices were not loud, if you stood by the door and listened carefully, you could still hear a few words.

Fei Wan wiped away her tears, turned back and bowed: "Your Majesty."

She was not afraid that what she said would be heard by the emperor.

Even want him to hear it.

Xiao Yu walked forward, took Fei Wan's hand, and seeing that she had not yet wrapped the gauze she had removed, he ordered someone to call a medical officer.

"No need, Your Majesty, I can change the bandage myself."

Xiao Yu just asked someone to bring medicine and gauze.

Fei Wan answered his question softly.

"Your Majesty, I was just talking to the Empress, and I felt nothing but sadness."

"The woman standing beside your majesty, the mother of a nation, is unable to stabilize the harem and provide your majesty with peace of mind. She is also unable to sympathize with the suffering of the people and cannot see the pain of those who have sold themselves into slavery. Instead, she feels superior because of the status your majesty has bestowed upon her, and schemes to oppress others. This is not the mother of the nation."

"I do not grieve for myself, but only for the fact that Your Majesty is in office but not doing her job, and even more so for the people of the world."

Xiao Yu's face darkened: "How dare you criticize the Empress!"

Fei Wan knelt down: "I was wrong."

"It seems that you don't think you are wrong."

"Yes. But if Your Majesty says I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. Because Your Majesty stands higher and sees farther, while I'm dull and my thoughts are superficial and ignorant of the big picture. In the future, when I work hard to learn to read and seek Your Majesty's advice, perhaps I'll understand the painstaking effort of Your Majesty in scolding me."

The beauty admitted her mistake obediently.

Compared to the queen's cold face and refusal to admit her guilt, the beauty in front of him was naturally more comforting.

Besides, the emperor was already very disappointed with the queen. Reprimanding Fei Wan was just to make her realize her own status and not to offend her superiors.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be more careful with my words and actions."

Fei Wanying stood up.

Observing the emperor's expression, she knew that although he did not blame her for contradicting the queen, he did not take her words to heart.

Like the queen, he could not understand the suffering of a slave like her.

Just then, a palace maid brought medicine and bandages, interrupting Fei Wan's thoughts.

Fei Wan, using the light from the lantern on the eaves, sprinkled medicine powder on the injured finger, wrapped it with gauze, and was a little uneasy when tying the splint.

The palace maid next to her wanted to help, but Xiao Yu simply extended her hand to help.

"His Majesty……"

Fei Wan's tone was surprised and sweet.

Just the right amount to make the emperor feel her respect and surprise.

"Don't move, I'm coming."

He was surprisingly gentle. After tying it, he even asked if it hurt.

"Your Majesty tied it, so how could it hurt? From now on, I will not change the bandages, I will just leave the knot Your Majesty tied."

"Smooth words and charming words."

"I am the foxy one."

"Your Majesty, just be a tyrant."

Xiao Yu scratched Fei Wan's nose and brought her back into the hall.

Fei Wan lowered her eyes.

Apparently, the emperor was not used to discussing serious matters with her and still only wanted to enjoy her service.

Then serve me well.

The bright candles shone brightly, and the red sleeves added fragrance. After the emperor enjoyed Feiwan's attentive service, he reviewed memorials and read books for a while before taking the beauty into the inner room.

Fei Wan hesitated: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that I am not allowed to sleep with you for three months..."

Xiao Yu frowned impatiently.

Without saying anything, he pulled Fei Wan into the tent.

The bright yellow world was brilliant and enclosed, and the elegant royal fragrance enveloped the two of them.

Fei Wan sighed slightly.

The few tears that fell from her eyes after she spoke to the Queen were not false; she was truly feeling sad.

If the queen acted like a queen and the emperor acted like an emperor, the humble people in the world like her might not suffer too much.

But unfortunately, all they care about is themselves.

Power, status, wealth, ambition, self-respect...

But he ignored the suffering of people like her.

If she wanted to live a good life, she could only fight, win favor, and move up.

What's next...

——The Emperor ignored the Empress Dowager's order and insisted on keeping her in Chenqian Palace. This meant that the Emperor was determined to completely suppress the Empress Dowager this time.

As a chess piece, she is dangerous, but also has great opportunities.

The next morning, when Fei Wan returned to Guanlan Courtyard, she secretly sent a message out.

"Tell Lord Lu Guinian to light a fire and make it burn brightly."
