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

Yu Tingjin breathed a sigh of relief.

The heart that had been hanging in the air since I learned that Fei Wan was bitten finally settled down.

Take the opportunity to complain and cry out in grievance.

"Xian Fei, how are you going to explain this?"

"The dead rats were found in your palace pond. According to what you said, could it be that you also raised them? Didn't you hear them squeaking?"

"You're always against me. It's fine if you're jealous of me because I'm above you, but this time my maidservant was made a mistress. She's much lower in rank than you, so why do you still hate her and want to kill her?"

In order to clear himself of suspicion, Yu Tingjin had to quickly put the blame on Concubine Xian.

The queen frowned secretly.

Dissatisfied with Yu Tingjin's straightforwardness in speaking.

But it was too late to teach her now.

The virtuous concubine raised her eyebrows and sneered:

"Oh, my dear sister, you can eat without hesitation, but you can't say anything without pouting. You are young and your words are unreliable, so I won't bother with you. His Majesty has made up his mind, how can you influence him by misleading me?"

She was surprised that she was involved in the matter.

I didn't lose my composure.

As the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and her mother is a princess of the royal family, she has seen big scenes.

He calmly retorted to the impatient Yu Tingjin, and his aura was superior to hers.

Behind her, Concubine Jian spoke up to help.

"The gurgling water in Changle Palace is connected to the pond outside, but the water flows everywhere and its source is not in Changle Palace. So where did the rat corpse come from, and what does it have to do with the Concubine Xian? If there is suspicion, then all the palaces and gardens through which the river flows are implicated. The rat nest in the Concubine's own room has not been fully explained, and now more people are implicated."

Lan Zhaoyi also said: "Speaking of suspicion, the person least likely to harm Zhao Cairen in the palace is the virtuous concubine.

When they first saw Concubine Zhao injured in Fengyi Palace, Concubine Xian and Concubine Qing spoke up for Concubine Zhao. Later, Concubine Xian asked her maid to comb Concubine Zhao's messy hair and gave her two pearl flowers.

Yesterday I heard about the joyous news of Concubine Zhao’s promotion. The gift sent by Concubine Xian is probably the most valuable gift in the palace, except for those given to His Majesty and the Empress.

I boldly guess that perhaps, the gift is more than what the Imperial Concubine gave to Lady Zhao.

Your Highness and Lady Zhao are so close, why would you harm her for no reason?"

Yu Tingjin was so angry that his face turned pale.

This group of guys always rely on their numbers to target her.

They cleared the suspicion on Concubine Xian just like that!

Looking at the faces of everyone in the room, many people felt that what they said made sense.

Yu Tingjin was unwilling to accept this: "She harmed Zhao Cairen and put the blame on me. Of course, she wanted to sow discord between me and Zhao Cairen."

Concubine Xian was disdainful: "Zhao Cairen was seriously injured under your nose. Your sisterhood is so deep."

"I was not aware of her injury..."

"You didn't know Yuncui hit her that day, nor did you know she had new injuries later. You didn't even know she was bitten by a rat. You knew nothing at all, and you didn't care at all." Concubine Xian raised her handkerchief to dab the powder on her nose and said leisurely, "You really treat her like a sister and confidant."

Yu Tingjin was speechless.

His pale face turned red again.

Every time they engage in a verbal battle, she finds it difficult to gain the upper hand.

In the past, the emperor had been somewhat on her side, but this time...

She looked at Fei Wan, who had been held in Xiao Yu's arms, and hated Fei Wan deeply for stealing the emperor's favor for her.

"Your Majesty...I feel dizzy..."

When Fei Wan saw that the anger in Xiao Yu's eyes had condensed into a vortex and was about to burst out, she spoke weakly and tremblingly.

"Everyone, get out!"

Xiao Yu was fed up with these women.

He worked tirelessly for the country in the previous dynasty, but when he returned to the harem, they caused trouble for him.

He finally found a gentle woman who could give him a moment of peace, but she was plotted against by someone among them.

Looking at Fei Wan's pitiful appearance with her brows furrowed in pain, Xiao Yu didn't want to show any mercy to the concubines.

Drive them all out.

"You all go back first and let Concubine Zhao rest well." The queen followed the emperor's words and instructed the concubines.

"You go back too." Xiao Yu said.

The queen was stunned.

I could only smile shyly and bow to take my leave.

The man who was holding the maid Bai Lu couldn't help but use force, squeezing Bai Lu so hard that her face turned pale.

Fei Wan looked at the queen's dignified back as she left, knowing that she had offended the queen because of the emperor's words.

Who knows.

Perhaps yesterday when the wives and concubines were living in harmony in Chenqian Palace, her favor had offended the empress.

Not just the Queen.

There are so many concubines in the palace who look up to the emperor's grace and long for his kindness. How many of them are not jealous of her?

The tree catches the wind.

Within three days, she jumped from a palace maid to a fifth-rank talent, and was given a grand title and special care by the emperor.

I guess he has already attracted a lot of jealousy.

So it’s time to keep a low profile and avoid the limelight.

Even if there was no mouse incident, she would have to make herself seriously ill and avoid being favored.

It just so happened that someone gave her such an opportunity last night.

Then she would definitely make good use of it.

It is true that mice have entered the house.

But she wasn't bitten.

She faked the tooth marks.

The high fever had nothing to do with mice. It was caused by her deliberately standing in front of the window in the wind for most of the night while wearing only small clothes, coupled with injuries and fatigue.

If a woman is not ruthless, her future will be unstable.

Only when you dare to be cruel to yourself can you be considered truly cruel.

"Your Majesty...let me lie down."

Fei Wan looked haggard and extremely weak.

Xiao Yu gently placed her on the bed and patted the pillow to make it smoother before letting her use it as a pillow to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable.

Pull the thin quilt over it.

Move gently.

Cao Bin, who was standing next to him, was secretly amazed when he saw this.

Your Majesty has always been the one being served, but this is the first time he has ever served others in this way.

I can't help but have a new understanding of Fei Wan's importance.

Xiao Yu refused to leave and even ordered Cao Bin to bring the memorial over, wanting to stay here while accompanying Fei Wan and handling government affairs.

Just because he felt guilty.

It was because he suddenly bestowed such great honor upon Fei Wan that this misfortune occurred.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation."

His eyes were cold.

Fei Wan lay on the pillow and shook her head gently, tears in her eyes, looking fragile and pitiful.

"No, Your Majesty, it was my own bad luck that prevented me from escaping the disaster. Your Majesty, please do not mobilize any more troops to investigate. Just consider it as a blessing for me, okay? Besides, mice are everywhere, and it is not necessarily someone who deliberately killed them. When I was in the countryside, people in the village were often accidentally bitten by field mice and mountain rats."

Xiao Yu sighed.

This girl thinks too highly of human nature.

I couldn't help but feel more pity for her.

"what!"

Fei Wan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

"how?"

"Your Majesty, please leave here quickly..."

Xiao Yu frowned in confusion.

"Your Majesty, I just remembered that after being bitten by a rat, the fever might be transmitted to those around me. Please take care of your health! Eunuch Cao, please escort Your Majesty out quickly. Don't, don't come again. Let me fend for myself!"

She bit her lip, and tears fell one by one like pearls, soaking her veil.

The beauty of brokenness.

Thrilling.

There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she still resolutely refused Xiao Yu's approach.

Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly.

The hand that reached out to touch Fei Wan stopped in mid-air.

He felt pity for Fei Wan, who was alone and helpless, but if it endangered him, this...
