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

"What did Concubine Zhao talk about during her time at the Yu family?"

Chenqian Hall, the main hall and sleeping palace.

In the purple-gold copper furnace, there was burning calming and sleep-inducing spices. The aroma was soft and heavy, making the emperor, who was reclining on the wide dragon bed, even more lazy.

He had just had a short nap and felt a little better, but he was too lazy to move and didn't want to bother with government affairs. He remembered that when Concubine Zhao Gui visited her relatives at the Yu Mansion, she openly spoke out about the abuse she had suffered as a slave.

He only knew the general idea but not the details. Now that he had time, he summoned the eunuch in charge of the visit and asked him about the details.

"Your Majesty, after Concubine Zhao arrived at the Yu Mansion, she walked from the main gate to the inner courtyard. As she walked, she was reminded of the past and recounted some of the beatings and scoldings she received when she was a personal maid to the then Miss Yu, now Yu Gengyi, when her status was still unknown."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies was unsure of the emperor's intention and answered cautiously with nonsense.

The emperor frowned impatiently.

Cao Bin beside him immediately reminded the eunuch: "Your Majesty asked you to tell the truth, tell everything."

The eunuch understood immediately.

He quickly lowered his head and repeated everything Fei Wan had said at that time.

Although it is not a word-for-word reproduction, every detail is explained clearly.

It’s not that he has a good memory, but those things were very cruel, especially the beastly act of pushing people off the cliff, which was very impressive.

What's more, it's gossip among concubines, how can I not remember it?

"Is it... actually like this?"

As he spoke, Emperor Xiao Yu's face visibly darkened.

By the end, it was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds before a storm.

The eunuch bowed his head and said, "I dare not lie. Every word I say is from Concubine Zhao."

"Have you verified everything?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, time was short. Only the incident of pushing him off the cliff and two other incidents of abuse were verified. The other servants were unaware of this. However, the eldest son and his wife vehemently denied it at the time. But it was only after the eldest son personally investigated and confirmed it that Lord Yu expelled Yu Gengyi from the ancestral hall.

Furthermore, Madam Yu seemed to be missing Yu Gengyi, whom she had personally raised, and was rather indifferent to Concubine Zhao at the banquet. As I watched from the side, Concubine Zhao seemed a little sad, but she suppressed it. Concubine Zhao was concerned about the dignity of the royal family and the overall situation, and I was convinced."

The eunuch's answer was very favorable to Fei Wan.

Because of what?

Because the reward Fei Wan gave him was generous enough.

There were no conflicts of interest or faction between him, Fei Wan, or the Yu Mansion; he was simply carrying out his duties. People are all made of flesh and blood, and after hearing about the abuse, they naturally felt pity for Fei Wan.

What's more, Fei Wan was very polite to him before and after the incident, especially after the assassination attempt, she privately asked someone to give him a gold ingot and several large pearls of excellent quality to thank him for his wise handling of the matter.

So generous!

Why didn't he speak up for Empress Zhao? She even got the assistant manager's authority! If he had a good relationship with Empress Zhao, there would be many benefits in the future.

But the emperor didn't know what he was thinking.

All I know is that this eunuch is an old man in the palace, and he is not familiar with Fei Wan and Yu Fu, so I feel that what he says is more objective.

"Madam Yu, huh."

The emperor sneered.

He also remembered that during the birthday banquet, that stupid woman actually went to visit the Queen Mother in advance. Not only did she ask the Queen Mother to release Yu Tingjin from the cold palace, which offended his face, she also dared to plead for Yu Tingjin in public at the birthday banquet in Xianyue Palace.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon's health is more important..."

Cao Bin quickly reminded.

Xiao Yu was impatient to get angry with a court official's wife, so he simply asked, "Minister Yu, don't you have any reaction to your wife's confusion?"

If Yu Zhong is just as confused, one would really doubt his brain function and then doubt his ability to handle government affairs!

The eunuch replied, "Master Yu treats Empress Zhao quite well. Empress Zhao has asked a concubine named Qin to take care of the inner chambers, and Master Yu has agreed."

Xiao Yu said "hmm".

I feel that Yu Zhong is not a fool after all.

"Cao Bin, how is the Yu family doing these days?"

Cao Bin immediately understood that this was a question about Yu Gengyi and Yu Tingjin. The fact that His Majesty didn't even ask "Change your clothes" showed how much he disliked her.

"Your Majesty, Yu Gengyi is recuperating in Chuntang Courtyard. I heard her temper is much worse than before, so her condition hasn't improved. She's smashed almost everything in the house, and she's also pulled down a lot of the flowers and trees in the yard."

Xiao Yu had a look of disgust on his face. "Since she has ruined Chuntang Courtyard, we should just banish her from the house and let her move back to Yanyun Palace. Send an order to demote her to a commoner and let her stay there from now on."

"Yes! I will send someone to pass on the order, and only ask Your Majesty to calm down!"

Cao Bin did not dare to delay and immediately called his adopted son Cui Liang to do the job, asking him to quickly move Yu Tingjin to the cold palace and have someone keep a good lookout for her so that she would not cause any more trouble and cause trouble for His Majesty.

Then he hurried back to the inner hall to serve.

Seeing that the emperor was still angry, he quickly waved his hand and asked the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department to leave.

After thinking about it, what would be the best way to calm down His Majesty when he's angry? That would naturally be...

He respectfully handed the flowery note on the bedside table to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself. Let's not provoke those fools. Otherwise, if the dragon's body is injured, Empress Zhao will be so distressed. Look, the handwriting Empress Zhao writes for you is getting more and more beautiful."

The emperor took the faintly fragrant flower note in his hand again, and read the words Fei Wan expressed to him, and indeed he felt better.

He sighed, "Zhao Qing, how pitiful."

Yu Tingjin was so vicious! Pushing her off a cliff, soaking her in cold water in the middle of winter, acupuncture, torture... She was simply unworthy of being a human being!

Zhaoqing endured so much hardship for so long, but she remained kind and beautiful, and was not contaminated by evil.

In the future, you have to give her more love!

Xiao Yu held the flowery paper in his hand and, under Cao Bin's persuasion, leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Cao Bin softly report, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine has sent someone to deliver something."

"what?"

"The Queen said that you will know it is a brocade box after you see it."

What mystery is the virtuous concubine trying to create again?

Xiao Yu was thinking about Fei Wan all the time and was in low spirits at the moment, so he had no interest in Concubine Xian.

However, after thinking about it, he asked Cao Bin to bring the things in.

He closed his eyes and dozed off on the pillow. After a moment, he heard light footsteps.

But it doesn't seem to be Cao Bin.

A sweet fragrance approached my nose.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and saw a palace maid in pink, with her head lowered, holding a rosewood brocade box in her hand.

"Your Majesty, this is given to you by the Consort Xian."

The palace maid bowed, and with a pair of slender hands, she handed over the brocade box.

Her nails are painted with crimson nail polish, which makes her look pretty and delicate.

"Raise your head." Xiao Yu ordered.

I feel that this palace maid looks familiar and her voice seems familiar, but I don't remember such a person in Changle Palace.

"His Majesty……"

The maid was ordered to raise her face.

A pair of watery almond eyes are full of charm.

"It's you?"

Xiao Yu recognized it.
