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

"No need. Since Xiangyi was sent away by Second Miss Yu, she wants to handle this matter herself. We can only wait and see how she does it."

Fei Wan stopped Xiao Hui's proposal.

Xiao Hui was a little worried: "Then...if what she does is not good for the queen..."

"We'll deal with the unfavorable things later. Sometimes we need to take the initiative, and sometimes we need to wait and observe."

Fei Wan told her two trusted maids to do their work without worrying about Yu Sujin.

The gilded candlesticks emitted a soft glow, and Xiangyi and Xiaohui's sincere faces made Feiwan feel warm.

She herself is not a good person.

Some of the things he did were not kind.

Although the goal she wants to achieve seems brilliant and just, if she uses unjust means to achieve justice, then is the justice she ultimately achieves still true justice?

Fei Wan thought about it many times.

No clear answer was given.

What is true justice?

Having experienced the hardships of living at the bottom of society and being bullied by others, I feel that it is justice to overthrow the powerful and wealthy and to defeat all evil people.

However, for people like Concubine Yue and Yu Tingjin at that time, being able to enjoy themselves, vent their emotions, and enslave their subordinates at will is their justice.

As for the emperor, all the women in the harem treat him gently and meet his needs at any time. All the court officials are loyal and diligent, and can be driven by him to contribute to his dream of becoming the greatest emperor of all time. Any traitors must be wiped out - this is his justice.

Even the empress dowager, when the late emperor was alive, she could enjoy the honor of being the legitimate wife, and after the late emperor passed away, she could influence the selection of the new emperor. The current emperor treated her with respect and never disobeyed her, allowing her to be the most noble woman in the world and to reach the pinnacle of power.

This is her justice.

Is there a kind of justice in the world that can satisfy everyone?

Fei Wan couldn't find out.

All she can do now is to persevere and realize her dream.

What is dream?

She doesn't want war, blood and gore.

In order to prevent the people from being displaced, half of Daliang was engulfed in flames.

We also don't want incompetent emperors and generals who just sit in office and do nothing, and let our great country be destroyed under the enemy's iron hoof.

She wants people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Ordinary people of low status should no longer be oppressed by the powerful, living like zombies, or even not being able to live at all.

She wants peace and prosperity for the country and the people!

These four words are so simple to say, yet so difficult.

It was a long journey, but perhaps she had only taken a few steps.

"Queen Mother, someone is knocking on the palace gate."

Ciyun Palace.

The candlelight is still burning late at night.

After hearing the report from her servant, Nanny Shixiang went into the inner room and quietly conveyed the news to her master.

The empress dowager was wearing a bright yellow soft silk nightgown, with a bright yellow brocade quilt covering her legs. She was leaning against two large bright yellow pillows and sitting at the head of the bed reading a history book.

After hearing what Tohka said, she immediately raised her eyes and smiled: "Is it Concubine Zheng?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Shixiang showed a look of surprise. "How did you guess it so quickly? I hadn't thought of it before."

The Queen Mother was slightly pleased: "If you have thought of all this, you are just my master."

"I dare not!" Tohka knelt down in fear.

This caused the Queen Mother to laugh and scold: "It was just a joke, you are so stupid, how could you take it seriously?"

"The Empress Dowager's joke is like a thousand pounds of weight on me. I cannot bear such a joke."

"Okay, get up."

The Queen Mother asked Shixiang to bring Zheng Zhuyi in for an audience.

"Empress Dowager, do you need me to comb your hair first?" Tohka looked at her master's hair which was casually gathered with a headband and a scarf.

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "I need to dress up to meet a young man!"

In a moment, Zheng Zhuyi, wearing a green lotus cloak, was led into the inner room by Nanny Shixiang.

"Your Highness pays homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years!"

Zheng Zhuyi came to the bed and bowed deeply.

The Queen Mother smiled knowingly and asked, "Did you come here because you asked for the Emperor's permission?"

Zheng Zhuyi's face was filled with joy. She looked up and said, "Your Majesty, you are very wise and you guessed it right. However, there is one thing you may not have guessed correctly."

She blinked her eyes and kept the secret coquettishly.

The Queen Mother's eyes jumped, a bit of scrutiny, "Oh?"

Zheng Zhuyi turned around, lifted the hood of the "maid" who was kneeling behind her, and ordered: "Look up and let the Queen Mother look at you."

Yu Sujin lowered her eyes and slowly raised her head.

"You are..." The Queen Mother thought for a moment and then remembered, "You are the noble who was promoted three levels in a row. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you sat next to the Emperor, quite presumptuous and arrogant."

"say!"

Zheng Zhuyi pushed Yu Sujin.

Yu Sujin was nearly pushed over, but she quickly steadied herself and replied with a composed expression, "Yes, I am your concubine Yu, here to see the Queen Mother. I... am always cautious in my words and actions, and never dare to overstep my bounds. That day, it was His Majesty... His Majesty asked me to sit there..."

"Okay, shut up."

Zheng Zhuyi saw that the Queen Mother looked unhappy and quickly scolded Yu Sujin.

Yu Sujin quickly bowed her head and apologized: "My concubine is rude."

Very well-behaved and docile.

Zheng Zhuyi smiled and told the Queen Mother: "This is the great gift from me to you."

"Ok?"

"I have already requested permission from Your Majesty to serve you while Ciyun Palace is sealed. Concubine Yu is also willing to live with me. From now on, you will have two more servants at your disposal!"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, indeed she was surprised.

This was something she had not expected.

The smile faded, "Aijia has no shortage of servants."

Zheng Zhuyi stretched out her hand coquettishly and shook the Queen Mother's sleeve: "Oh, Queen Mother, I know you don't lack servants, but I am willing to be your servant. Concubine Zhao is vicious and Concubine Hui is cruel. You have been wronged, and I feel sorry for you the most. So I came all the way to serve you. Please take me in and fulfill my filial piety!"

"The emperor agreed to your coming here?"

Zheng Zhuyi rolled her eyes innocently and cunningly. "Why not? His Majesty is distressed by what Concubine Hui has done. He would be more than happy to have someone willing to come and fulfill his filial duty on his behalf. Don't you know how harshly the censors outside have criticized Concubine Hui and His Majesty? His Majesty has long needed someone to do the right thing and silence the gossip."

The Queen Mother stared at Zheng Zhuyi for a while, then pulled her sleeves out of her hands and snorted, "You little girl, you have so many tricks up your sleeves."

Zheng Zhuyi looked at the other person's expression and knew that the other person had agreed to her coming.

She said coquettishly, "It's not a devilish idea at all. It's clearly my filial piety."

"Get up."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Zheng Zhuyi lifted her skirt and stood up.

Pulling Yu Sujin, he said, "Why don't you get up?"

Yu Sujin quickly came back to her senses, thanked him, bowed her head and stood up.

Zheng Zhuyi explained to the Queen Mother: "She is not very sensible. She needs more guidance from the Queen Mother. I will also teach her well."

The Queen Mother's gaze circled around Yu Sujin.

A bit sharp.

"I look at this noble man and don't think he is very willing."
