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

Si Fei's hand subconsciously shrank.

But he was held tightly by the other party.

The man's palm was warm and had a light sweat on it, which made Sifei feel sticky and disgusting.

But the other party exerted force and pulled her across the table into his arms.

"Don't make trouble, it's broad daylight..."

Si Fei turned her head to avoid the other person's approaching lips.

Instead, he was hugged even tighter.

"There's no one here, so what's the difference between day and night? Besides, it's clearer during the day."

The other party can't wait.

He actually wanted to act on the table.

Si Fei quickly pushed him away and turned her head to indicate the direction of the bed: "Go over there..."

She knew she couldn't escape.

You have to give him some sweet treats so that he will be willing to do things for you wholeheartedly, even things that could cost him his life.

Even if the palace gates were shut tight and the inner chambers' doors and windows were tightly shut, it was still safer to be in bed. He lowered the curtains to prevent anyone from peeping. Even if someone suddenly broke in, he still had room to maneuver.

Under her insistence, the man finally agreed and fell into the bed with her in his arms.

Concubine Si stretched out her arms with difficulty to pull down the curtain and close the gap.

In the blink of an eye, he was hugged tightly and could hardly move.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... You know how much I missed you after that..."

The man was touching her all over, talking nonsense rapidly.

Even on the most emotional night when the emperor heard her call "Yulang", he was not as crazy as the person in front of him.

He called upon her past fame and status, immersed and indulged.

At first, Concubine Si only felt humiliated and angry.

She lamented that she had fallen into such a situation, with no one around her to use, and had to devote herself to a palace guard and sacrifice her body in exchange for his help.

How pitiful for a queen!

She clenched her teeth.

Endure.

Endure.

But gradually, driven by the man's burning passion, her body began to cooperate before her consciousness, and she even became intoxicated.

A tear fell from the corner of my eye.

no matter what.

The person in front of him, at this moment, and after leaving her, she is all in his eyes and heart.

He is rude and humble.

But also strong and lively.

The emperor had so many women, and when he was most moved by her, she borrowed the skin of the late queen who had long since died, and called him "Yulang", a name that even she herself was tired of hearing, in order to make him temporarily put aside the rift between them.

But the person in front of him is only her.

He is not married yet and has never touched other women.

Even when they were together for the first time, he needed her guidance and instruction to do things smoothly.

How clean he is.

"My Lady, call me A Yuan, call me, call me..."

He panted and begged her hoarsely.

Si Fei opened her mouth.

Tried several times.

Finally, she let out a low cry.

"Ah...Yuan."

"Mm! Queen, Queen, you are so kind..."

"Ayuan."

"Hey!"

"Ayuan, go and help me with one more thing."

"Whatever your majesty wants, I will help you do it."

Si Fei closed her eyes.

Immerse yourself completely.

The Qingliang Palace was so cold, but his arms were very warm.

She clung to the man's thick shoulders tightly, she wanted to feel even hotter...

Miyakoji's confinement cell was also very hot.

Hot, yet chilly.

The small underground room has no sunlight and becomes even damp and cold in autumn.

However, because the palace concubine who had not yet been convicted was imprisoned here and she held a high position, the Palace Justice Department did not dare to be negligent. They installed a few more torches on the walls and placed a fire basket on the ground in an attempt to make the room warmer.

Fei Wan sat on a half-worn black wooden chair. The fire made her forehead sweat, while her feet and legs were attacked by the cold and damp air.

It's very uncomfortable to feel hot and cold.

What’s even more uncomfortable is that I didn’t sleep all night and didn’t even have a place to lie down and rest. I was tired and had a headache.

"Empress Zhao, according to the rules, we have to ask again."

Behind the long table sat the eunuch who was conducting the interrogation, the maid who was accompanying him, and the young eunuch who was taking notes.

Several of them had serious expressions on their faces, but their tone was still polite.

Fei Wan smiled tiredly, "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know. Thank you for your hard work. Once the facts are clear, I will report to His Majesty to thank you for your hard work in investigating the case."

Few people dared to answer such questions.

His expression softened a bit.

The eunuch then held the interrogation file and asked questions one by one.

Actually, there wasn't much else to ask. He was just asking about the maid Lin Shui's situation, the recent interactions between Chunxi Palace and Ying Ronghua, who had received the hawthorn pills, and so on.

Ask all the questions once, then ask them a second and third time in a random order, insert new questions, or ask a surprise question.

These are all common interrogation tactics.

If the person being questioned makes up a lie to answer, it will be easy to be exposed through repeated questioning.

Because the more you talk, the easier it is to make mistakes in the details and make things inconsistent.

But after a night and a morning of interrogation, Fei Wan still hadn't made any mistakes.

The people in the Palace Administration Office understood that either Concubine Zhao was truly innocent, or she was just too smart to cover up a lie.

If it is the latter, how to deal with it?

One force can defeat a thousand tricks.

Use torture.

But unfortunately, Concubine Zhao was in great favor. Even if she was sent to the Palace Administration Office, who would dare to torture her without a clear imperial decree?

This interrogation continued over and over again.

Just delaying time.

The same is true for Concubine Yue.

But unlike Fei Wan's gentleness, Concubine Yue was not so polite to the interrogator.

Three eunuchs in charge of the interrogation had been scolded away, and not a single round of interrogation was completed, which also caused a small fire in the solitary confinement cell.

This caused the palace maid to escape by the water and she has not been found to this day.

The people from the Palace Administration Office did not dare to use force and were very troubled, so they discussed the matter secretly.

"Or, can you ask Concubine Hui to come over?"

"Do you want to cause another fight between Concubine Hui and Concubine Yue? If we investigate later, the Concubines will just have to copy a few scriptures. We will be charged with the crime of provoking trouble. Do you still want to have a good life?"

"Then...why don't we go ask Concubine Qing?"

"Empress Qing should be up by now."

"His Majesty has ordered Consort Qing and Consort Hui to oversee the trial. It is only natural for us to ask them to persuade Consort Yue."

So finally, at noon.

Consort Qing's message reached the Palace Administration Office: Since Consort Yue refused to cooperate with the interrogation, only the others in Changle Palace should be interrogated. They should invite Consort Yue to meet with Consort Zhao, and record their conversation for future reference.

This doesn't seem to be a good solution either.

But with someone in charge, the people in the torture chamber breathed a sigh of relief and carried out the execution according to Concubine Qing's wishes.

Fei Wan and Concubine Yue were invited into a cleaner room one after another.

There is a table and two chairs, and two breakfasts are placed on the table.

"Empress Jin An."

Fei Wan bowed to Concubine Yue and sat down at the table.

She pulled out a silver hairpin from her head, put a little poison into the food, and then started eating.

Concubine Yue stood aside and looked at her coldly.

"Oh, you're not afraid of being poisoned. There are some poisons in this world that cannot be detected even with silver."

Fei Wan drank two mouthfuls of glutinous rice porridge, raised her eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, do you think that I am innocent? Would someone deliberately use the hands of the Palace Justice Department to kill me and silence me to prove my guilt?"
