"What are you doing?"

Changle Palace.

Concubine Yue was very surprised to see Concubine Hui carrying Fei Wan into the house.

She heard from others that Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhao had arrived, so she let them in, but she didn't expect them to come in like this.

Fei Wan leaned on Concubine Hui's shoulder and smiled weakly: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine. Forgive my rudeness. Imperial Concubine, how is your injury? I have been thinking about you these days, but I can't visit you all the time."

Seeing her apologetic look, Concubine Yue felt a little impatient.

I don't even know where this anger comes from.

"Stop pretending. What's the point of all this fake concern? You've helped me take the brunt of the attack, so naturally I see you as different from everyone else. Don't bother with me anymore."

"I am really thinking about Your Majesty, I am not lying." Fei Wan looked at Concubine Yue eagerly.

"Get down! How long are you going to lie on me?" Concubine Hui became impatient.

"Oh."

Fei Wan was supported by a maid, and when Concubine Hui squatted down, she carefully got off her back.

At the same time, he explained to Concubine Yue embarrassedly that he was injured and could not go far. He wanted to be carried here on a rattan bed, but found that whether he was lying down or lying on his stomach, the posture was very uncomfortable and would always press on the injured area.

"Empress Hui felt that I was clumsy, so she carried me here on her back."

He smiled shyly and embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yue frowned, "You two were framed to murder Ying Ronghua together, yet you didn't know how to avoid suspicion and yet you walked all the way to Changle Palace so intimately?"

Concubine Hui sneered: "The innocent will be innocent!"

"The innocent are innocent?" Concubine Yue sneered even more disdainfully. "If everything in the world can be cleared, then tell me, how did I get all these injuries? Will people believe you? You have a golden ticket to immunity from death, so you can do whatever you want, but don't let Sister Zhao get involved."

Concubine Hui took two steps to the bed, stared at Concubine Yue and said viciously: "Yan Zhirou, if it weren't for the fact that you are injured, I would make you pay."

"How can you make me look bad?" Concubine Yue showed no sign of weakness.

"You two ladies, calm down."

Fei Wan quickly stepped forward to help, standing between the two men and trying to reconcile them.

"Sister Yue, Concubine Hui saved us once. Your Highness, you are the most magnanimous and heroic, and never argue with others verbally. For my sake, could you two please stop fighting?"

Concubine Hui: "You two have become sisters who share hardships. It's so beautiful to hear you call each other sister and sister!"

Concubine Yue: "Am I not magnanimous and love to bicker with others?"

The two of them attacked Fei Wan together.

Fei Wan smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say a word back.

Fortunately, the two men saw that she was supported by a maid and could not even stand steadily but was still gritting her teeth and trying to stop the fight, so they gave her some face and stopped arguing with each other.

Concubine Yue had the couch by the window cleared out, told Fei Wan to lie down on it and rest, and asked her what she came for.

Fei Wan looked around.

The maids hurriedly took their leave.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yue hesitated for a moment and dismissed all the servants around her.

There were only three people left in the room, facing each other.

Fei Wancai said, "I'm here to ask the Imperial Concubine for help. I'd like to ask your family to lend a little support so that we can overcome this difficult time together."

Pointed in the direction of Ciyu Palace.

"If some people can't settle down, then we won't have any peace either."

……

In the warm room behind the west room of Chenqian Palace, a map of mountains and rivers is hung on the wall.

The eight directions and nine provinces of Daliang, as well as its mountains, rivers, and lakes, are all marked on it.

Since Emperor Taizu established his rule in the Central Plains, he expanded his territory southwards and defended against enemies northwards, establishing the present territory. Over the past hundred years, successive emperors have ascended the throne and passed away, but this territory has remained largely unchanged.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the map for a long time.

The sound of slow and cautious footsteps came from behind, which neither disturbed anyone nor gave the perfect indication that someone was coming.

I knew it was Cao Bin the moment I heard it.

"Has it been verified?"

The emperor didn't turn around, but just asked in a calm voice.

Cao Bin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have verified it."

The emperor was silent.

His back was stretched straight, and the bright yellow dragon robe on his body was emitting a cold luster, faintly revealing an oppressive aura that made people dare not breathe.

Cao Bin quickly bent his body even lower.

Hearing the emperor's "Tell me in detail", he carefully recounted how he had cooperated with the Tiger Guards to investigate the incident of the palace maid Lin Shui escaping into Prince Rui's Palace.

How the investigation was conducted, what was found, what could not be found due to limited conditions, and what had been happening in Prince Rui's Mansion in the past few days were reported in detail.

Linshui, the new maid in Chunxi Palace who accused Concubine Zhao of murdering Ying Ronghua with red flowers, escaped during the chaos caused by a fire in the Palace Administration Office. Cao Bin led his men to search the entire palace for a whole day but couldn't find her.

Later, Xia He, the imperial maid who served Ying Ronghua, told her that Lin Shui might have escaped into Prince Rui's Palace.

Although Xia He had served Zhao Fei and Ying Ronghua successively, she was a member of the imperial court and became very sensible under the guidance of Aunt Ruochu.

This time, when serving Ying Ronghua, he knew his limits.

According to her report, Ying Ronghua moved back to Shunfei's palace, and Zhaofei sent people to visit and comfort her, but Ying Ronghua still felt resentful and remained distant. Later, when Zhaofei's close maid Xiangyi requested an audience, Ying Ronghua simply told the maid to say she was asleep and refused to see her.

Xiangyi said she had something important to report and she had to meet him, and she even knelt down outside the door.

After kneeling for more than two quarters of an hour, Ying Ronghua finally "woke up" and saw it.

After Xiangyi entered the room, she spoke quietly to Ying Ronghua in the room alone without anyone else present.

A moment later, Ying Ronghua was heard sneering and cursing angrily.

Aunt Ruochu was worried, so she asked Xia He to go in with the medicine and check it out.

As soon as she stepped outside the curtain, Xia He heard Ying Ronghua cursing in a low voice: "...Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'm not as favored as your Concubine Zhao, and now I'm childless. I don't know how much His Majesty will forget me in the future. But she and I have a deep relationship, and she treats me like this? To exonerate herself, she actually made up such a lie to deceive me. Go back and tell her that no matter how bad I am, Wei Zhishu, I still have a life left. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor, let alone a mere concubine like her!"

Xiang Yi was anxious to appease him: "My lady, I dare not lie to you. This is the truth. Lin Shui really did escape to the Rui Palace. The people in the Zhenguo Palace saw it with their own eyes. Because they didn't want to act rashly, they secretly told Concubine Yue to discuss what to do. The Concubine then told our queen! My lady, please be careful with your words. Even if you want to anger our queen, don't offend His Majesty..."

"roll!"

The sound of vases breaking.

Xia He hurriedly brought in the medicine.

I saw Ying Ronghua was about to throw another vase and chase Xiangyi out.

Xiangyi was so angry that her face turned pale. She said a few angry words and left without even saying goodbye.

Xia He called someone in and took a long time to calm down the furious Ying Ronghua.

Afterwards, he reported this crucial news to Aunt Ruochu.
