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

"Miss!"

Xiaohui turned around when she heard the sound, was shocked, dropped the flowers she had just picked and rushed over.

But it’s a little far away and I can’t get there in time.

Fei Wan saw the "female ghost" pounce on her.

But he dodged two steps to the side and not even the corner of his clothes was touched by the other party.

"My Queen, please spare me, please spare my life..."

The "female ghost" was about to pounce again, but at this time, the eunuch Dongbao, who had been following Fei Wan from a distance, had already rushed over with his companions and pinned her to the ground.

"My lady, are you alright?"

Xiaohui ran to Feiwan and stood between Feiwan and the "female ghost".

Fei Wan waved her hand to tell her not to be nervous and stepped aside. "I'm fine, but this person seems to be in trouble?"

The night wind blew, and the hair of the "ghost girl" hanging down on her face was lifted up a little, revealing half of her pale, blood-stained face.

Very scary.

"Liu Gengyi, I asked you to go to the Palace Administration Office to learn the rules for a few days, but why did you become like this? Did you go to the wrong place and run from the Ministry of Rites to the Torture Chamber, or is it that the Palace Administration Office is in chaos and the people in the Ministry of Rites have learned the methods of the Torture Chamber?"

Fei Wan's tone was slightly majestic, and he pointed out the other person's identity as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiaohui was surprised again.

Liu Gengyi?

Is it the one who had offended the Empress with his words before and was sent to the Palace Administration Office by the Empress, and was also demoted by His Majesty to the lowest level of clothing changer?

It's become such a horrible mess that it's unrecognizable at all. Your Majesty has such a good eye!

"What's going on? Who's shouting?"

“What happened here!”

"Is it Concubine Zhao Guipin who is here? May your majesty be well!"

There were several sounds of hurried footsteps, and several groups of palace maids and eunuchs came from different directions, each holding a lantern, surrounding the area and lighting it up brightly.

There were people patrolling nearby and some were just passing by.

When they saw Fei Wan, they bowed one after another.

They are all very concerned about Fei Wan's safety.

Some people also scolded Liu Gengyi who was pinned to the ground, asking her who she was and why she had offended the noble concubine.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I only beg Your Majesty to forgive this concubine. I will never dare to offend you again. Please release this concubine from the Palace Administration Office! I really can't stand the torture anymore. If this continues, I will die——"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

"I was just impulsive and made a few jokes behind your back. I didn't mean to offend you. I will be more careful with my words and actions from now on and will never dare to speak carelessly again."

"Everyone in the palace says you are the kindest. Now that you are in charge of palace affairs, please don't bother with me over a small change of clothes. Please spare my life..."

Liu Gengyi cried out in a shrill voice, which was both shrill and pitiful.

The body that was being held down was shaking all the time, and he was crying miserably like a frightened and helpless stray animal.

"What's going on here?"

At this time, two palace concubines passing by were also attracted by the sound.

Stand outside the crowd and watch from a distance.

Seeing Fei Wan looking at them, they hurriedly squatted and saluted, with a somewhat frightened attitude.

She was obviously frightened by Liu Gengyi's plea for mercy and was a little afraid of Feiwan.

Even though Xiaohui wasn't as quick-witted as Xiangyi, she knew that what Liu Gengyi said was very unpleasant. If someone who didn't know the details heard it, they might think Feiwan was abusing her behind her back.

Isn't this deliberately ruining the Queen's reputation?

So I couldn't help but speak for Fei Wan:

"Young Master Liu, what you said is completely unreasonable. That day, our Queen asked you to go to the Palace Administration Office to learn the rules and regulations. It turned out that you had been slandering her many times, both in front of and behind others, and scolding her very harshly. Our Queen had originally ignored you, but when we happened to see you that day, we tried to advise you. We didn't..."

"Empress Zhao, please forgive me. I will never dare to do that again. From now on, I will obey you and recognize you as my master—"

Liu Gengyi didn't listen to Xiaohui's words, interrupted her crying, and just begged Feiwan to show mercy.

Fei Wan asked Dong Bao to let Liu Gengyi go.

She said softly, "I was originally going to visit Consort Yu, but now that this has happened, I can't go for the time being. I'll ask Consort Yu to wait a little longer."

This was strange to say, because Fei Wan didn't say she was going to visit Yu Sujin before she left.

But Dongbao immediately understood and winked at his companion Xiao Mazi, asking him to go and inform him.

The little horse ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and went to find Yu Sujin.

"It seems there's been some misunderstanding. Liu Gengyi, don't worry. I will do you justice."

Fei Wan raised her voice slightly so that the onlookers could hear her, and told Xiao Hui to go to the nearest palace to get some hot water, and bring towels, combs, and the like.

She then pointed at two unfamiliar palace maids who had gathered to watch and said, "Help Liu change her clothes. When the water comes, help her wash up. She is a concubine after all. If she gets too embarrassed, it will only bring shame to His Majesty. You absolutely cannot do that."

She then instructed everyone present: "I am weak and my voice is feeble, so I cannot drown out her cries. Can anyone go over and stop her from crying so loudly, or she will hurt herself?"

As they were talking, two or three concubines came to watch the fun.

Upon hearing this, they looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Fei Wan said softly, "Whoever can calm Liu Gengyi down will be rewarded handsomely."

As soon as these words were spoken, two eunuchs immediately moved, walked over and started to persuade him loudly.

"Miss Liu, Empress Zhao is concerned about your health. You should take care of yourself. Stop shouting and be careful of your throat!"

"Yes, Empress Zhao has already said that she will give you justice. Please calm down and explain yourself clearly."

Everyone knows that Concubine Zhao is always generous.

She said in public that there will be a huge reward, so it must be a lot of money.

Then more palace maids came forward one after another to help persuade her.

For a moment, the voices of the comforters drowned out Liu Gengyi's crying.

Fei Wan laughed secretly.

Are you trying to play this trick on me?

You are ruining my reputation in public. I cannot argue with you, otherwise it will seem like I am bullying you, right?

There were usually few people in the Imperial Garden at night, but today a group of people quickly gathered. I don’t know who instigated or arranged them. They came here specifically to see how I bully my concubines.

I'm afraid that tomorrow, rumors will spread in the palace that I have become arrogant since I came to power, and that I appear kind but am actually very cruel in secret!

Fei Wan will not suffer such a loss in silence.

No matter who arranged this drama, she first took advantage of the situation and used the onlookers.

Seeing that Liu Gengyi was unable to persuade the palace maids and eunuchs, Fei Wan continued to plead with the people around her for help.

"Can anyone go to the Etiquette Department of the Palace Administration Department and ask what's going on with Liu Gengyi? It would be best if someone could come and answer me in person. I've been ordered to assist in the management of the harem, and I absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch the abuse of a concubine happen! Even if Liu Gengyi has offended me, I must uphold justice for her!"

"Don't worry, Empress Zhao. I'll go to the Palace Administration Office and ask for you right away."

A concubine who was watching rolled her eyes, saw the opportunity to speak, and walked forward with a flattering look on her face.

Fei Wan looked approving.

"Then I'll trouble you, sister. You look familiar, but is your last name Chen?"
