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

The concubine was immediately delighted and bowed, saying, "I am Chen, the talented woman from Xifang Courtyard! Your Majesty is so busy, yet you still remember me. I am truly blessed."

"It's Sister Chen." Fei Wan nodded at her.

He could tell that her expression was genuine and that she was trying to be ingratiating, and guessed that she was not the one who instigated the gathering tonight, so he gave her a friendly smile.

"Xifangyuan isn't far from Concubine Kang's Lincui Palace, right?"

Chen Cairen said hurriedly, "Your Majesty has a good memory, that's right! Lately, Your Majesty has been going to Lincui Palace to handle palace affairs with Concubine Kang and others. I have seen you from afar, but since you were busy, I didn't dare to disturb you."

People don’t remember much, but Fei Wan has made a list of all the gifts she received.

Then she said, "I was ill a while ago and received a few embroidered handkerchiefs from my sister. I haven't thanked you in person yet. Thank you for thinking of me."

"This is what I have to do. Your Majesty, please don't be polite! Without further ado, I will go to the Palace Administration Office right away!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen was overjoyed. She had never expected that the concubines in the palace would curry favor with Fei Wan by giving her gifts. Even though her handkerchief was so humble, Fei Wan would still remember it. So, she tactfully decided not to delay any further, and without Fei Wan's urging, she hurried to the Palace Administration Office to help Fei Wan pass on the message.

As soon as Chen Cairen left, Xiaohui came with a basin of warm water.

Following behind was Huifei's maid Xifeng, holding some toiletries in her hands.

"Hello, Empress Zhao. Our Empress was in Yanfu Palace. When she heard the commotion here, she asked this servant to come and take a look. Our Empress said that if the matter is serious, we should go to Lincui Palace to discuss and resolve it tomorrow. If it is a minor matter, we should disperse immediately and not disturb her."

Xifeng was just like her master. She seldom smiled when she met people. She just bowed and conveyed Hui Fei's words stiffly.

Xiao Hui quickly explained in a low voice, "Your Highness, the nearest place to here is Yanfu Palace, where Consort Lan resides. I went to fetch some water and ran into Consort Hui visiting the East Courtyard of Yanfu Palace, chatting with Qian Gengyi, who lived there."

It turned out to be the case.

Fei Wan didn't expect that what happened tonight would involve Concubine Hui.

This god is not to be trifled with.

Everyone was discussing and handling palace affairs in Concubine Kang's Lincui Palace. For several days, Concubine Hui had never even glanced at her.

But Concubine Hui usually doesn't interact with others, so why did she visit Yanfu Palace and interact with the lowest-ranking dresser?

However, this is not the time to think about these things.

So she said to Hui Fei's maid Xifeng, "It was Liu Gengyi who caused the misunderstanding. Perhaps it's not a serious matter. I will deal with it now. I will report any unfinished business to Her Majesty Hui tomorrow. I apologize to Her Majesty in person tomorrow for disturbing Her Majesty."

"You're too polite, Concubine Zhao." Xifeng squatted down, bowed, and stepped aside.

"You guys clean up Liu Gengyi first, don't let her lose face. Be gentle, don't hurt her."

Fei Wan gave an order, and Xiao Hui immediately came over with water. Together with two other unfamiliar palace maids who were watching, she took the washcloth and other things from Xifeng and helped Liu Gengyi clean up.

But how could Liu Gengyi just sit there and let them deal with him?

She yelled and screamed, pushed and hit him, just like a madman, crying that she had been bullied while learning the rules at Gongzhengsi, and begged Feiwan to spare her life.

Other palace servants came forward to help, but were beaten by Liu Gengyi. Finally, the basin fell over, soaking everyone's clothes. Liu Gengyi lay on the ground crying and rolling around.

Yu Sujin has arrived.

After taking a quick look at the situation, he squeezed to the front of the crowd and eagerly took Fei Wan's arm.

"Eldest sister, are you okay? You've been working hard these past few days and your health wasn't good to begin with. When you woke up this morning, you still had palpitations and shortness of breath. How could you bear to hear such cries? Even I feel uneasy when I hear them. Please don't scare yourself! The imperial physician said that you should avoid being frightened recently, and he also told those who serve you to speak and walk in a low voice, but this..."

As he spoke, he began to cry in anxiety.

Tears come as easily as they do for me, Fei Wan thought to herself.

There is no such thing as palpitations when waking up.

She would seize the opportunity.

"It's okay, don't worry, just wipe your tears." Fei Wan followed up Yu Sujin's words and said dignifiedly, "Liu Gengyi is crying like this now, it's important to comfort her first, don't join in the crying."

Yu Sujin wiped her tears: "But, elder sister, your health..."

"I'm fine, you go and persuade Liu Gengyi." Fei Wan covered her heart.

"Sister, are you having palpitations again?" Yu Sujin suddenly became nervous.

Fei Wan scolded her: "Don't worry about me, go!"

Yu Sujin was anxious and angry. She stomped her feet and turned to walk towards Liu Gengyi.

Wiping away tears, she advised, "Liu Gengyi, please stop yelling. I beg you. You've caused Empress Zhao to suffer a health crisis. His Majesty will punish you, and you can't bear the consequences. I heard that because you scolded Empress Zhao before, His Majesty demoted you from a concubine to a clerk. If you continue to make such a fuss, there's no rank below the clerk to be demoted. Are you going to become a commoner and enter the Yanyun Palace as well?"

Hit the snake seven inches.

The palace maids tried to persuade him for a long time, but Liu Gengyi turned a deaf ear to them.

Yu Sujin's soft threat immediately made Liu Gengyi stop crying.

Yu Sujin took the opportunity to offer another heartfelt exhortation: "With so many eyes watching, Empress Zhao has always treated you with courtesy and has always been considerate of you, yet you just keep making a scene, slandering Empress Zhao and accusing her of ordering someone to harm you. No matter who looks at it, you're in the wrong. Liu Gengyi, although I'm concerned about my eldest sister's health and urging you to stop making a scene, I'm actually helping you. Stop now, you still have a chance to be forgiven. If you continue to make mistakes, who will save you? Will those who instigated you behind the scenes care whether you live or die?"

"I'm telling the truth. I only beg Empress Zhao to forgive me..."

Liu Gengyi continued to shout after hearing this, but his confidence was obviously weaker.

Fei Wan touched her chest and said in a reproachful tone, "Susu, don't be so suspicious. Liu Gengyi might have misunderstood something. How could someone instigate her?"

Yu Sujin sobbed and said, "Eldest sister, please don't be so naive. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone must be behind this, deliberately letting her ruin your reputation..."

"Shut up!" Fei Wan took a deep breath, gradually showing a look of forcing herself to stand up, but her face was stern, "Don't think the worst of others. If you distort the atmosphere of the court, I will not forgive you."

"Sister..."

Yu Sujin looked aggrieved and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

But he was secretly happy.

This was the first time Fei Wan called me by my nickname. Susu, she called me elder sister affectionately. It seemed like my words and actions had caught her eye!

Fei Wan also secretly approved.

This concubine sister is much cuter than Yu Tingjin!

Brothers fight tigers together, fathers and sons fight in battle together, and they must be blood-related to be able to communicate with each other.

Neither of them is a good person, but they have such a tacit understanding to work together to cheat others.

Chen Cairen hurried over with the people from the Palace Administration Office.

One was the old maid who took Liu Gengyi away to learn etiquette, and the other was the eunuch who presided over Fei Wan's visit to her parents. Both were from the Department of Etiquette.

As soon as the two arrived, they immediately told everyone how Liu Gengyi had refused to cooperate with the admonitions and had been making trouble in the Palace Administration Office during these days.

Well, the reward was not given in vain, Fei Wanxin thought.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies received a generous reward from her after he came home to visit his parents. He flattered the Yu family in front of the emperor, and she gave him an even generous reward. Now, he came to speak for her again.

As the saying goes, you have to be willing to give up before you can gain.

Glancing calmly at the crowd of onlookers, then glancing at Concubine Hui's maid standing quietly over there, Fei Wan asked the eunuch with a serious face, "Then what about the wounds and blood on Liu Gengyi's body?"

Liu Gengyi answered from the side: "They beat me! Empress Zhao, please spare me and don't let them beat me. From now on, I will obey you in everything!"

Yu Sujin's eyes turned cold.

Again?

How dare you ruin my eldest sister's reputation and harm my backers... Ha!

She took a step forward.

Tears streamed down her face, she cried even more sadly than Liu Gengyi.

"Sister, please don't harm my eldest sister, okay? You only see her glory and favor, and you're jealous of His Majesty's love for her, but do you know how tired and difficult it is for her..."

"She tries so hard to be kind to everyone, but how many people in the palace are really willing to treat her well?"

"Sister Liu, why do women have to make things difficult for other women?"

"We are all serving His Majesty. Can't we just get along well? Why are you so vicious?"
