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

Fei Wan smiled and shook her head.

I felt helpless and stood up to leave, just like facing a tantrum child.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now. Please be good to Sister Zheng, and don't get angry anymore."

But his hand was grasped by the emperor.

"Leave!"

"Your Majesty, Sister Zheng has something to say..."

"Is there anything you can't say in front of others?" The emperor looked at Zheng Zhuyi coldly, "Zhao Guipin will not leave. If you want to say it, say it. If not, leave."

Zheng Zhuyi bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, this is about the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother told me something that I must not keep from Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled. "Oh, really? Is it something important?"

Zheng Zhuyi nodded vigorously: "It's very important."

"Then go back to your Yanming Palace and tell it to the plaque at the palace gate. Cao Bin, send Concubine Zheng out."

"His Majesty!?"

The moment Zheng Zhuyi was "escorted" out of the palace by Cao Bin and the palace maids, she realized that the emperor might have misunderstood her.

She wasn't trying to use the Empress Dowager to pressure the Emperor, but...

However, the palace maids in front of the emperor were well-trained and they quickly pushed her out of the Chenqian Palace with ease and dignity.

Her unwilling calls could only get farther and farther away.

What a great Miss Zheng Si!

When Fei Wan saw Zheng Zhuyi's surprised face when she left, a light bulb went off in her head and she suddenly realized her intention.

She must have been subservient to the Empress Dowager in exchange for the position of Imperial Concubine. Now that she was before the Emperor, she had to put on a show of being forced to do so, rather than bending, to convince the Emperor that she was being used by the Empress Dowager.

Then, he added a few slanderous words about the Empress Dowager to prove that he was loyal to the Emperor.

So you can have the best of both worlds.

pity……

Fei Wan admires Zheng Zhuyi's scheming.

Feel sorry for her.

She had greatly underestimated the emperor's fear and rejection of the empress dowager!

People who try to please both sides have to carefully consider every word they say. How could Miss Zheng Si cause such a big misunderstanding!

Oh, that’s probably because... Fei Wan sneered secretly, because her presence here disrupted Miss Zheng Si’s pace.

It made her lose her composure and make her act carelessly.

A little immature, but still need to be doubly cautious. Fei Wan commented on Zheng Zhuyi.

Zheng Zhuyi's boldness and the Queen's hidden cunning are not to be underestimated. Especially...

Fei Wan gently kneaded the emperor's hand and persuaded him to calm down.

Especially our Majesty, before mentioning the Queen Mother, he was obviously attracted to Zheng Zhuyi, and quarreled with her like a young boy... Who doesn't love a rose with thorns!

Return to Chunxi Palace from Chenqian Palace.

Zhishu and others were in the inner hall.

"Sister, I found the key ingredient."

She took off the blood-red coral earrings from her ears and handed them to Fei Wan.

Fei Wan took it, knowing there must be something fishy about the pendant. But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see anything wrong.

The pendant is outlined by a red gold lotus pattern and inlaid with blood jade coral polished into a lantern shape. The workmanship is exquisite and the seams are tightly fitted, but it does not look like it can hide medicine.

That day, Chu Qingmu mentioned the ancient recipe for making Zhishu "pregnant". The medicinal powder added to Zhishu's food was the main ingredient, and the wine she drank in the Changle Palace of Concubine Xian that day was the inducement, but there was still a key medicine that was the main ingredient of the whole recipe, but there was still no clue about it.

"What's wrong with this pendant?" Fei Wan asked, not understanding what was going on.

Zhishu said, "Sister, use your nose to smell it."

Fei Wan did as she was told.

I could only smell a faint scent, very light, like the scent of grass after a summer rain.

Zhishu said, "This is the scent of Gelsemium elegans. Doctor Chu just discovered it today. Sister, can you guess who gave me this pendant?"
