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

Concubine Si's maid supported her and said in great fear, "Are you dreaming or sleepwalking? Let's go back and call the imperial physician to take a look. You've been in a trance these past few days and have difficulty eating or drinking. We must not hurt your body!"

"I'm fine, no need..." Concubine Si let go of the palace maid and shook her head.

Belatedly, he looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty... Are you the real Majesty, not just someone from my dream? Your Majesty, are you here to see me in person?... I've lost my manners! Please punish me!"

She slowly bowed down, tears streaming down her face.

She was pitiful and annoyed, blaming herself: "I finally got to see Your Majesty once, but I drank too much and got so drunk that I can't face you..."

The fireflies, twinkling like stars, were still dancing around her.

Even though she was rebuked by Concubine Xian, her beauty was still breathtaking.

When Concubine Xian saw Concubine Si like this, she felt like vomiting.

She glanced at the emperor and found that his expression was difficult to tell, and he did not immediately reprimand Concubine Si for her affectation.

The virtuous concubine gritted her teeth and became secretly angry.

It would be bad enough if the sisters Zhao Fei and Yu Guiren deceived the king, but even a deposed Concubine Si, who was guilty of a crime, dared to play such a trick.

Concubine Si was deposed because of her. If she had to watch Concubine Si rise again, what would be the point of her being the virtuous concubine!

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and glanced coldly at Concubine Si and the other palace maids.

"I asked you to serve Concubine Si, but you didn't even know your master was missing. Were you slacking off for the holidays? Now you come before the Emperor, pretending to be attentive to your master, trying to cover up your dereliction of duty. Servants like this are better off being unemployed. Come, send them all back to the Imperial Household Department to await their fate. We'll assign qualified palace maids to Concubine Si tomorrow!"

"Yes."

The one who came up was Concubine Xian's own maid.

Linglong led the two of them and was about to go forward to escort Si Fei's palace maids.

Concubine Si shuddered and quickly stood in front of several palace servants: "No! You are not allowed to bully others! Your Majesty..."

She threw herself at the emperor's feet and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive them. All the mistakes are my fault alone. I shouldn't have been drunk or walked around drunk. It was I who sent them away and didn't allow them to watch. If you really want to punish me, I am willing to take the punishment on their behalf!"

She knelt down and kowtowed.

Those bright fireflies were flying around her, so beautiful.

Xianfei said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Si is a sinner. Your Majesty has spared her death sentence, but she has refused to mend her ways. Instead, during the joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, when the palace is reunited, she deliberately uses tricks to deceive people and act pitiful in front of everyone. I believe that Your Majesty is merciful and considerate during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's fine for you to forgive her. However, her palace maids must be punished as a warning to others!"

"My Lady, please forgive my concubine! I will never drink again. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do and follow your lead..."

The virtuous concubine spat, "Bah! You're the leader. Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. Don't treat people like fools. You're dreaming, and you're dreaming? What's your intention in coming here today? Everyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. Your Majesty can see it even more clearly. Put away your foxy behavior. After all, you were once the queen, and you don't even care about your dignity?"

"Empress Xianfei, the wind in Shanglinyuan is chilly, and His Majesty's clothes are thin. Would you mind waiting for His Majesty to return to the palace?"

While Concubine Xian was scolding Concubine Si, Fei Wan slowly walked out of the crowd and came in front of a few people.

In the moonlight, she smiled softly, her face was delicate and her elegant dress was stained with a faint silver glow.

In the tense atmosphere, the faint smile at the corner of her lips seemed particularly gentle.

Tonight, Concubine Si's agility and elegance surpassed anyone else's, and her vulnerable weeping on the ground was even more timid and touching. However, when Fei Wan appeared, her graceful and elegant demeanor was even more outstanding, suppressing Concubine Si's timidity.

The virtuous concubine's somewhat urgent and aggressive tone was also diluted by Fei Wan's gentleness.

"You..." Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and was about to speak.

Fei Wan stepped forward, took her arm, and interrupted with a smile, whispering, "Your Majesty, the moon is bright over the sea, and we share this beautiful moment across the world. On such a beautiful night, why let trivial matters ruin your enjoyment? The wine in the palace is still warm, and the dishes are still fresh. You have a fine zither, so why not play a tune under the moonlight, and wish Your Majesty a happy year after year?"

As he spoke, his eyes moved, suggesting that Concubine Xian should restrain her anger.

She then pulled the virtuous concubine forward, and with her other arm around the emperor, her tone softened: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the banquet. Sister Wu has a joke she wants to tell you."

The emperor's expression relaxed slightly, and he looked at Fei Wan with a softer look in his eyes.

"What joke is Concubine Wu going to tell? I want to hear it."

Having said that, he followed Fei Wan's pull, turned around and walked away with Fei Wan.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Concubine Si was still kneeling on the ground.

I never expected that the emperor would pass away before the matter was over.

She called out in a mournful voice.

Fei Wan had already signaled with a look.

Cao Bin led a group of palace maids and followed behind the emperor, completely isolating the emperor's back from Concubine Si.

In terms of cooperating with Fei Wan, Cao Bin has become more and more skilled since he helped Fei Wan once in return for a favor.

In short, Fei Wan didn't ask him to do anything illegal. It's just a piece of cake. Just cooperate with the favorite concubine. It's good for you, it's good for us, and it's good for everyone!

Not long after leaving Shanglinyuan, Fei Wan let go of the emperor.

But he did not let go of Concubine Xian.

Like sisters, she held the virtuous concubine's arm and followed the emperor side by side.

The virtuous concubine glared at him coldly: What are you doing!

Fei Wan just smiled silently: Your Majesty, please calm down.

Concubine Xian: How dare you stop me from punishing Concubine Si!

Fei Wan: I advise Your Majesty to think twice before acting.

The concubines following behind had no idea that the two were fighting with their eyes.

All we saw was Fei Wan affectionately holding Concubine Xian's arm, and with just a few words, she persuaded His Majesty, who was bewitched by Concubine Si, to leave. It was simply amazing!

Many people secretly put themselves in the situation, wondering if they would have dared to rush forward, and whether they could have resolved the matter with a few words without being retaliated against...

The answer is no, we dare not and cannot.

After all, no one has that much face in front of His Majesty.

So many people looked at Fei Wan's back and secretly admired her.

It has to be Empress Zhao!

Only Wu Xiangrong huddled in the crowd, anxious.

What's the joke? What's the joke?

I never said I would tell jokes to Your Majesty tonight!

Shanglin Garden, next to the osmanthus forest.

The palace maid cautiously stepped forward to support Concubine Si: "Your Majesty, the ground is cold, please get up first..."

Snapped!

Concubine Si slapped the palace maid in the face.

"Useless things! I told you to keep watch and stop the other concubines from coming, but what did you do? How could so many people come?"

Her bloodshot eyes frightened the palace maid so much that she prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

With so many ladies coming in a mighty procession, how many of them would have the guts to stop them? The master was dancing enthusiastically at the time, so there was no way to tip off the others...

Si Fei sat on the ground, looking at the group of people who had already gone away with blurred backs, secretly biting her lips until they bled.

The emperor finally arrived.

But I didn't get what I wanted.

Even if those women had come a quarter of an hour later...

She could even lead the emperor deep into the woods...

She hated the emperor's fickleness and ruthlessness, and also hated the virtuous concubine's domineering scolding.

But it doesn't matter.

If Concubine Zhao had come out a little later, Concubine Xian's excessive toughness would have caused His Majesty to be annoyed, and she would have had many opportunities to take advantage of him.

But Concubine Zhao happened to seize the opportunity and interrupt everything.

If the arrival of the concubines reduced the effectiveness of her dance tonight by half, then Fei Wan's persuasion of the emperor to leave made all her efforts in vain.

"It's okay, just wait, Yu Feiwan."

Si Fei slowly clenched her fists.

Tonight's show hasn't finished yet.

A firefly accidentally flew into her palm and was crushed to death by her.
