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

Fei Wan knew Lu Guinian in her previous life.

And I know more.

When she was trapped in Yu Tingjin's hands, she heard about a censor who was stirring up trouble in the court.

At that time, she was oblivious to what was happening outside the palace, and didn't even know much about what was going on inside Chunxi Palace. She was in a state of complete isolation and suffering.

You can also hear about Lu Guinian.

That shows how famous he is.

But at that time, he was helping the empress dowager. From Hanlin to Censor, he was the leader among the censors. He put a lot of pressure on the emperor in public opinion, but made the emperor unable to deal with him, which caused a lot of trouble for a while.

The emperor was troubled by him every day and often complained to his favorite concubine Yu Tingjin.

It was only then that it reached Fei Wan's ears.

But he was eventually dealt with, and after the emperor took control of the situation, he died on the way to exile.

Later, Fei Wan managed to escape from the palace. While on the run, he met Lu Guinian's family, which was his wife, two younger brothers and a younger sister.

The whole family was forced to serve as official slaves, and they could not bear the suffering of slavery. Several members of the family were able to quickly collude secretly from different places of slavery and escape together. This was quite capable.

From what they said, we learned that the dead tortoise was more capable.

A farmer's son, his parents had both passed away. He was self-taught and relied on attending classes in private schools to pass the imperial examination and enter the Hanlin Academy.

However, because his wife was coveted by others, his colleagues were unwilling to stand up for him. In order to protect his wife, he sought refuge in the Chungcheongbok Mansion and became the Queen Mother's henchman from then on.

At this moment of the birthday party, he was in fear that his wife was about to be taken away from him. He was helpless and at a loss as to what to do.

He has not yet leaned against the big tree of the Chungcheongbo Mansion.

The note that Fei Wan secretly had someone pass to him became the first olive branch thrown to him by the "powerful and wealthy".

He didn't know that he would rely on the Zhongqingbo Mansion in the future, and only thought that his "favored concubine" Fei Wan was the only support he could get at this time.

The whole court was criticizing Fei Wan, and the Empress Dowager had issued an imperial decree. If he teamed up with Fei Wan and contradicted the Empress Dowager in public, his life would be in danger.

But Fei Wan estimated that there was an 80% or even 90% chance that he would agree.

Naturally, Fei Wan did not mention the matter of taking his wife away, but only said that he would give him wealth.

Fortune and honor are sought in danger, which is the superficial reason for cooperation.

Fei Wan cannot use officials who only seek wealth and fame at this time. Lu Guinian, who has deeper reasons, is her first choice.

"My lady, Lord Lu has replied, saying that he will definitely live up to your trust."

Not long after the news spread, a message came back.

Fei Wan nodded slightly.

Lu Guinian's ability to get things done has been proven in his previous life.

In his previous life, he gave the emperor a headache, and now, it’s his turn to give the empress dowager a headache.

The next afternoon, Xiao Linzi received news from an acquaintance in the imperial court that the emperor had received several memorials advising the empress dowager to move to the Western Hills Villa for a long-term recuperation.

There were memorials from censors, officials, and even two nobles affiliated with the Zhongqingbo Mansion.

On the surface, he was advising the Queen Mother to rest, but in fact he was asking her not to get involved in politics again.

"His Majesty was very happy and sent several memorials to Ciyun Palace. He also asked Imperial Physician Wen to take the Empress Dowager's pulse, but Imperial Physician Wen was expelled from Ciyun Palace."

Xiao Linzi quietly reported to Fei Wan.

There are many conveniences in accepting people from the imperial court.

Although Xiao Linzi was ostracized by Cui Liang, he had his own connections and informants after having been in the imperial court for a long time.

It is sometimes easier to get news about the emperor.

"The Queen Mother still has a bad temper." Fei Wan said with a smile.

Driving away Imperial Physician Wen was basically equivalent to breaking off relations with the Emperor.

"Do you have a memorial from Lord Lu?"

Xiao Linzi replied: "Not yet."

That means Lu Guinian still has a trick up his sleeve, ready to go.

It's definitely not just these few memorials.

Fei Wan was waiting.

The news of her sleeping with the emperor earlier had shocked many in the harem. After all, the empress dowager had issued an imperial decree forbidding her from sleeping with the emperor, but the emperor had openly disobeyed it.

But no matter what others said, Fei Wan didn't care. She just believed that the emperor would favor her by rebelling against the empress dowager.

"Master Huizhen, are you used to living in the palace?"

On a sunny morning, Fei Wan took a sedan chair to the Guanyin Hall in the palace to visit Huizhen who was staying there.

The deacon here is named Jingchen. He once testified for Feiwan together with Zhishu. When Yu Tingjin sent his maid to slander Feiwan for practicing witchcraft, he stood up to prove Feiwan's whereabouts.

Later, when Fei Wan prayed for mercy for the palace maids, she also asked the emperor to allow Jingchen to become the deacon of Guanyin Hall.

The original deacon went to the affiliated nunnery of Xiangguo Temple outside the palace, and the emperor only needed to say a word.

"Amitabha, is Miss Zhao all right?"

Seeing Feiwan coming, Jingchen came out to greet her with a kind smile.

Monks are also worldly people, especially in a place like the palace. Jingchen is very respectful to Feiwan who has helped him.

"Master is well too."

Fei Wan clasped her hands together and smiled.

Jingchen understood what was going on and quickly left, leaving Feiwan and Huizhen alone.

Huizhen's reservedness and panic in front of the emperor disappeared, and her face was calm. She was a true monk, and her eyes were even calmer than Jingchen's.

"My Lady Zhao, the palace is nice, but I prefer the outside of the palace."

"Once my identity is confirmed and you are safe, you can leave the palace. But it's best for you to stay away from the capital and go to Jiangnan for safety."

Fei Wan did not lie to the person who had kindly adopted her and told the truth.

Leaving the palace and the capital is to stay away from trouble and avoid being involved in the struggles among the superiors.

The reason for going to Jiangnan is that the war in the north will sweep across many places, and the further south you go, the safer it is.

Huizhen nodded and smiled: "When I get to Jiangnan, I will travel around, just like the sister who was 'burned to death'."

In fact, no one was burned to death.

The charred corpses in the fire-stricken Zen room were the remains of recently deceased orphans who had no relatives and were borrowed from the charity cemetery.

"This disaster is all thanks to Little Master Zhao."

It was Fei Wan who warned her to be on guard in advance, told her that her life would be in danger, and sent someone to find a corpse to help her escape.

She was captured by the eunuchs when she returned to the fire scene and was sent to the palace. She had to plead her case in front of the virtuous concubine and the emperor in fear and trepidation. All of this was part of the plan.

"It is because Master has always been a good person that he has great fortune and a long life, and will have endless blessings in the future." Fei Wan folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name.

The two looked at each other, both knowing that this was each other's true face.

In front of the emperor, they all pretend.

Huizhen was ordered by Yu Zhong and his wife to keep silent and was forced to pay the silence money. She had no choice.

Hui Zhen saw the apology in Fei Wan's eyes and shook her head, saying, "You don't have to feel that you've brought trouble upon me. I sent you back to the Yu Mansion, but you suffered so much. I am willing to atone for this sin with my own life. Now I haven't suffered any harm, and you, my lady, have the hope of becoming a daughter. It's all thanks to the Bodhisattva's blessing. I only hope that my lady will take good care of herself in the palace, keep a clear mind, and don't be blinded by worldly troubles."

"Don't worry, Master. I know what I'm doing."

"My young master has a clear and upright look in his eyes. I am relieved. Amitabha."

I chatted with Huizhen for a long time.

Listening to Huizhen talk about her childhood as a baby, although they were all trivial and daily, they were also very interesting.

After fighting in the palace for so long, the time I spent with Huizhen became very precious.

After coming out of the Guanyin Hall, Fei Wan became more certain of her belief.

Went directly to the virtuous concubine's Changle Palace.

Changle Palace was quiet, and there were no palace servants moving around and working in the courtyard as usual.

Several palace maids stood in the corridor at a distance, and the curtains on the door of the main hall were lowered.

"Is your Majesty catching up on some sleep? I'll come back later to pay my respects."

Fei Wan was about to leave when the palace attendant who had gone to inform her hurried back and whispered, "Her Majesty, please let the young lady in."

As soon as he entered the hall, the pervasive medicinal fumes made Fei Wan cough twice.

"Miss?"

Seeing that Concubine Xian had a red face and was sitting in the side room with anger, Fei Wan carefully went over to pay her respects.

"You came just in time."

The virtuous concubine asked Fei Wan to come forward and pointed at the female deer performer kneeling on the ground and said, "Tell her what you saw when you came in that day!"
