"and many more."

Fei Wan spoke out to stop him.

When the people led by Yu Tingjin rushed towards Yun Liu like wolves and tigers, she gently dissuaded Yu Tingjin:

"Your Highness, have you misunderstood something? Yun Liu just saw that I was ill and wanted to take care of me for a while out of consideration for our past friendship. Why don't you allow her to stay at Guanlan Courtyard for a while? I'm short on staff here, and..."

Xia He hurriedly ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in the yard to protect Fei Wan and stop Yu Tingjin's men.

But Yu Tingjin had more people and quickly broke through the obstacles.

Yun Liu was grabbed and refused to leave, and was beaten and slapped many times during the struggle.

Yu Tingjin cried in public, "Zhou Feiwan, don't pretend to be a good person here. You were very restless when you were my servant. I didn't expect that you would frame me and falsely accuse me of harming you in order to gain power. It's a pity that I always thought you were a good person and treated you so well..."

She cried heartbrokenly.

The corners of Feiwan's lips raised under her veil.

The imperial concubine finally looked her in the eye.

I started to scheme against her.

This also proves that she is no longer the same as before, and has indeed brought a sense of crisis to the other party.

"what!"

While the two were talking, Yun Liu was struggling and tearing.

Suddenly Yun Liu screamed and was pushed to the ground by someone. She hit her head on a viewing stone in the yard and her forehead was bleeding.

Yu Tingjin's people were stunned.

The palace maids on Fei Wan's side seized the opportunity, quickly pulled Yun Liu up and brought her to Fei Wan's side.

Then Tuan Tuan protected Fei Wan and stopped anyone from getting close to her.

Xia He bowed towards Yu Tingjin and said, "Your Majesty is still under house arrest. Even though Guanlan Courtyard is part of Chunxi Palace, it is after all the residence of Lady Zhao. Please do not come here casually. Lady Zhao is ill, and I am afraid that her illness will spread to Your Majesty. For your health, if you still refuse to leave, I will ask the guards outside to come in."

Using hard words and soft words, she moved out the house arrest order and the palace guards outside the Guanlan courtyard wall.

If the guards come in, the matter will become a big deal and will be known to the emperor.

Yu Tingjin stamped his feet, feeling helpless.

She angrily turned around a few times, and finally pointed at Yun Liu unwillingly and said, "Okay, if you want to stay here, then stay. Don't even think about coming back to me again!"

Then he wiped his tears and left.

Before leaving, she turned back and threatened Yun Liu: "You'd better just serve Zhao Cairen. Don't do things you shouldn't do or say things you shouldn't say, otherwise the palace rules will not forgive you!"

Yun Liu covered his bleeding forehead, huddled behind Fei Wan in fear, sobbing.

After Guanlan Courtyard closed its doors again and the surroundings calmed down, Yun Liu knelt down in front of Fei Wan.

With a look of determination, she said, "Master Zhao, I will obey you!"

Fei Wan smiled and helped her up.

"That's good. You'll be by my side from now on. I won't treat you unfairly. Go and rest first and bandage your wound."

Yunliu went to the servants' room.

Fei Wan returned to the house, and Xia He followed in and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that maid? Do you need me to report it to Eunuch Cao?"

Fei Wan shook her head: "It's alright. It's just a small matter, no need to bother His Majesty."

Suddenly, it was time for the daily imperial physician's consultation.

The one who came today is Doctor Wen.

He originally only served the emperor, empress and high-ranking concubines, but because he was present when Fei Wan had a high fever that day, the emperor specially ordered the Imperial Hospital to take good care of Fei Wan, so as the deputy director of the hospital, he also became one of the imperial doctors who took turns to see Fei Wan.

After taking the patient's pulse and conducting an examination, Doctor Wen stood up and bowed.

"Congratulations, young master. Based on the medical examinations over the past three days, you haven't contracted any serious illness. It's likely that the rat that bit you didn't carry any toxins. Your fever is simply a result of your body being too weak to withstand the stains from the rat's teeth. It's a common infection. From now on, just take good care of yourself. I believe you'll be fully recovered soon."

Fei Wan stood up and bowed to him: "Thank you, Doctor Wen. I'm really sorry for all the hard work you've put in lately."

Although Doctor Wen was old and experienced, he was only a medical officer after all. He did not expect that Fei Wan, as a young lady, would actually salute him.

He quickly returned the greeting and said, "I dare not. This is all within my responsibility. My Lord, don't worry about it."

Xia He handed over the purse she had prepared long ago as a reward.

Doctor Wen thanked him.

Xia He asked, "So, can we lift the blockade of Guanlan Courtyard? And we don't need to be on guard in the entire palace anymore?"

Doctor Wen said, "In theory, that's the case, but everything awaits your Majesty's final decision. Tomorrow, have Doctor Xia come back to examine the young lady and he will report back to your Majesty."

Doctor Xia is the chief judge of the court, and he is the deputy, so he will not take the lead over the chief judge.

Fei Wan nodded. "Then, before His Majesty gives the order, it's best for us not to make it public. How about we wait until His Majesty agrees before making it public that I'm not seriously ill?"

"That's natural." Doctor Wen was about to do so.

This is the safe approach.

"This narrow escape was a relief, thanks in large part to Imperial Physician Wen and the other Imperial Physicians. I will certainly mention your hard work to His Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to reward you generously."

Fei Wan thanked him sincerely.

She came from the lower class and naturally knew that life was not easy for people below her, so she never treated palace maids, guards, imperial doctors, etc. with arrogance.

Instead, he always thinks about them.

Doctor Wen was impressed by her sincere attitude, unlike her masters' condescending attitude. He then carefully reminded her of dietary taboos, how to quickly recover her strength, etc. He chattered for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Xia He sent him out and came back smiling, "I've seen Doctor Wen many times, but this is the first time I've heard him talk so much. In the past, he would leave immediately after completing his duties."

"I'm not afraid to say something that will offend you, young lady. From what I've seen, he treats you like an elder giving earnest instructions to a younger person."

Fei Wan laughed after hearing this. "Doctor Wen is such a skilled doctor, and he's also the deputy judge of the Imperial Hospital. He holds a very high status. I'm just a lucky maidservant who has caught the emperor's eye. If he could really treat me as his junior, it would be my honor."

"My lady always underestimates herself." Xia He smiled.

These days she was assigned to serve Fei Wan and had a good impression of this young lady.

That day, Fei Wan was obviously in a good mood and ate more.

He also called Yun Liu to serve him.

He also sent Xia He to rest, and left Yun Liu in the house to talk privately.

I took a nap in the afternoon and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already dark.

Seeing Yun Liu still sitting on the footrest, diligently fanning her, Fei Wan chuckled, "You don't have to work so hard. If you stay with me, as long as you expose Concubine Chun, it will be a great achievement. I will treat you well."

"The servant understands."

"There's one more thing you have to help me with. This is also a test of my loyalty to you."

Yun Liu asked carefully, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going out tonight, but I don't want Xia He and the others to know. I have to be on guard against people in the imperial court. It's better for you to know everything about me and that I can use you with confidence."

Yun Liu's eyes flickered, and she was a little scared.

Fei Wan patted her shoulder and said, "Just sleep on my bed and pretend that I'm covered in the quilt. I'll be back in about half an hour."

"But my lord..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

A cloudy night with no moon.

The palace lanterns swayed in the wind, and circles of light swayed on the ground. Outside the circles of light was continuous darkness.

Fei Wan left Yun Liu in the room, changed into Yun Liu's palace maid's clothes, and at three o'clock in the morning, quietly avoided people, stepped on a stool and climbed out from the back wall of Guanlan Courtyard.

Head west all the way to a remote place.

Outside an old courtyard wall, I learned to sing a few summer insects.

After a while, a few shouts were heard from inside the wall.

The rhythm is the same as Feiwan's cry.
