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

"How could this be?"

After the morning court session, Xiao Yu hurried to Chunxi Palace.

In the inner room of Guanlan Courtyard, the Queen, Consort Xian and many other concubines were present, even Yu Tingjin who was confined to the front yard was there.

The room was packed with people, including palace maids and imperial physicians.

Everyone bowed and greeted the emperor.

Xiao Yu didn't look at anyone and went straight to the bed.

Fei Wan had just woken up and was forced to wake up by acupuncture with a few injections from Doctor Wen.

Her high fever had not yet subsided, her face was red, and her hands were as hot as charcoal.

Even when he saw the emperor, he was too weak to stand up. It was very difficult for him to speak, and his voice was very weak: "Your Majesty..."

After uttering just two words, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I know your grievances."

Xiao Yu gently stroked her messy long hair that was spread on the pillow, full of pity.

If there hadn't been an important matter at the morning court today, he would have almost thought of skipping the court and coming here directly.

But ultimately, national affairs are more important.

The anger towards Fei Wan's injury also accumulated to the extreme during the morning court session.

"How is Zhao Changzai's injury?"

His calm tone made the doctors present feel pressured.

The Imperial Hospital determined that Doctor Xia was brought by the Empress. He knelt down and replied, "Princess Zhao was bitten by a rat on the arm. There are two wounds, the bite marks are deep, and the wounds are severely red and swollen. I believe it is a fever caused by the bite. I have used antipyretic and detoxifying drugs, but..."

"But what?"

"But you are weak, and your own vitality may not be able to resist the fever. Moreover, if the rats carry a serious disease, you may be infected. That would be very dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?"

"Life is in danger..."

"You can't cure it?" Xiao Yu's face looked quite ugly.

The deputy imperial physician spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, if the young lady is truly suffering from a toxic disease, my acupuncture can temporarily slow the spread of the poison throughout the body. Combined with other medicines, there might be a slight chance of recovery. However, everything depends on your luck. Your Majesty, death from rat bites has always been unavoidable, and there is no clear remedy in ancient texts."

In other words, Fei Wan is in great danger this time!

The newly promoted concubine encountered such a bad thing.

Xiao Yu turned to the Queen with a sharp gaze: "How could there be a vicious rat in the palace?"

The queen, who was usually dignified and calm, now looked anxious.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"Yesterday, I was in charge of the decoration of Guanlan Courtyard, but something like this happened. I am ashamed to see Your Majesty..."

The virtuous concubine advised kindly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress can't be blamed entirely for this. Summer is the season for snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Guanlan Courtyard is located in the back garden of Chunxi Palace, surrounded by dense vegetation, so it's inevitable that bad creatures will wander around. Before Sister Zhao moved in, perhaps some creatures dug holes nearby and made their homes, accusing Sister Zhao of usurping their territory..."

Yu Tingjin couldn't help but glare at Concubine Xian fiercely.

Rushing forward, she tearfully said, "This place has always been clean. There are no snakes, insects, rats, or ants here. Although Guanlan Courtyard is uninhabited, I often come here to admire the scenery and flowers. It is cleaned daily, so how could a vicious rat have taken up residence? I dare to speculate that someone is plotting to murder Concubine Zhao and deliberately let that disgusting creature in to harm her. Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Xiao Yu looked at the room full of concubines and became even angrier.

So again!

They plot against each other and harm each other.

When will this harem be at peace?

It would be fine if they framed each other, but this time they actually attacked a weak woman like Fei Wan.

Fei Wan is helpless and covered with wounds. Why did she deserve to suffer such harm!

"Cao Bin, pass on the decree. Jin Zhaochangzai is promoted to Zhaocairen. All food, clothing, and other expenses will be upgraded immediately."

Everyone was stunned.

"Your Majesty?" Yu Tingjin couldn't help but question.

How can you promote someone so casually?

Getting bitten once is considered a credit?

Xiao Yu glanced coldly at the concubines.

"Aren't you jealous of Zhao Qing's favor? If anyone harms her again, I will promote her."

The young emperor was furious and his eyes were stern.

The pressure was so great that no one dared to look up.

Yu Tingjin's resentment, the virtuous concubine's clever words, the queen's anxiety, and the attitudes of the others who were watching the show or guessing, were all restrained under the emperor's majesty.

No one dared to speak.

You could hear a pin drop in the room.

Fei Wan's weak plea echoed softly in the tent.

"Your Majesty, I dare not accept your grace, nor do I want to cause a quarrel among the ladies. Please escort me out of the palace..."

Xiao Yu held her wrist with a distressed look, and said gently but firmly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay in the palace. I want to see who dares to harm you again."

The virtuous concubine's eyes secretly moved between the emperor and Fei Wan, and then looked at Yu Tingjin.

Thoughtful.

squeak...

Suddenly, a sharp cry sounded above everyone's head.

People with good hearing couldn't help but look up when they heard the sound.

"There's a rat on the beam!"

"Catch him!"

"Ah! It's coming down, get out of the way!"

For a moment, the room was in chaos.

Cao Bin was busy leading people to protect the emperor, and the concubines rushed forward and crowded around, fearing that the gray thing would rush up and bite them.

A nimble eunuch had already run to catch the mouse.

A gray-black mouse jumped down from the beams of the exquisitely carved caisson ceiling and ran out along the wall.

The eunuchs chased out in a panic.

One of the concubines suddenly shouted, "Hurry up and catch up, maybe it's going back to its nest!"

This one word woke everyone up.

Where is its nest?

Where does it come from?

Xiao Yu hugged Fei Wan, who was trembling with fear, and comforted her from time to time.

Not long after, two of the eunuchs who had chased out came back.

"Your Majesty, the mouse hasn't been caught yet, but we followed it and found this."

A dark brown coarse porcelain jar was placed on the ground.

There were rice, beans, and cotton wool in the jar.

A few pink little mice, whose eyes had not yet opened, were lying on the cotton wool.

The mouse that ran away just now is most likely the mother of these little mice.

It was obvious that someone had deliberately built a nest for the mouse and was keeping it there.

Then, let it out...

Xiao Yusen asked sternly: "Where did you find it?"
