"Wanwan, if you have anything you want, just tell me and I will definitely satisfy you."

The emperor personally helped his favorite concubine up and gently helped her lie on her side on the bed, being careful not to touch her wounds.

Fei Wan looked at him with eyes full of smiles and begged in a low voice, "I am concerned about the palace maids trapped in the Palace Administration Office... Your Majesty, after so many days, no evidence has been found. I must be innocent. Can you release them? They have been implicated by me innocently, and I am worried day and night."

The emperor squeezed her hand and sighed slightly.

"Wanwan, not yet."

Isn't it said that whatever you want will be granted? Xiang Yi thought to herself, is that it?

"His Majesty?"

The disappointment that flashed across Fei Wan's face for a moment, and the bitter smile that immediately appeared on her face, were very touching.

"I have overstepped my bounds, and I know I am wrong. When my injuries have healed, I will return to the Palace Administration Office and accept the investigation with the palace servants, so as not to embarrass Your Majesty."

"Late night..."

"Your Majesty, I know you believe in my innocence, but you are the emperor. You must consider the overall situation and convince everyone. After all, the matter of Sister Ying is not only a matter of the harem, but also concerns the court and the world. After all, the child in her belly may very well be the heir to the throne."

"You all stand down."

The emperor waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Xiang Yi had no idea at that time what the emperor said next, with a look of guilt on his face.

Early the next morning.

However, I heard that the emperor had issued an oral order on his way to the morning court to deduct three months' salary from Concubine Yue as a punishment for beating palace maids without reason and not being able to rule her subordinates as gently as Concubine Zhao. This was a small punishment but a big warning, and he hoped that Concubine Yue would realize her mistake and correct it.

After reporting the news to her master, Xiang Yi wondered, "It's not the first or second time that Imperial Concubine Yue has beaten and scolded palace maids. Why is she being punished this time? She's not the only concubine in the harem who has beaten palace maids for no reason. There are many others, and yet His Majesty suddenly thought of intervening in this matter. Does Imperial Concubine Yue have anything to do with you?"

Fei Wan had the jewels the emperor had bestowed upon her last night spread out before her. She picked up the ones she liked and examined them carefully, saying casually, "It's related to me, but I didn't ask him to punish Concubine Yue. He felt guilty about me and took his anger out on the Duke of Zhenguo."

Xiang Yi was stunned for a moment, "...Empress Yue is so wronged."

While staying in Changle Palace, his family was implicated for no reason.

"I really died unjustly. It wasn't me who killed Concubine Zhao!"

Changle Palace.

After receiving the decree to deduct her salary, Concubine Yue quickly found out the whole story and turned pale with anger.

After thinking for a moment, he laughed at himself, "I deserve this bad luck for not being able to persuade my father!"

I told you not to deal with the Yu family and to withdraw immediately, but they just won’t listen.

At the same time, he asked people to pack up the jewelry and silks and send them to Chunxi Palace to comfort Fei Wan.

She immediately asked her maid to prepare paper and pen. She lay on the bed, and with her injured body, she wrote a harsh letter home, which was quite accusatory.

Let father do his job loyally and don't cause trouble or do things he shouldn't do.

At the morning court session, the emperor also reprimanded the Duke of Zhenguo.

The memorial in which he was accused of forcibly seizing a woman while inspecting the capital was brought out for public discussion.

Lu Guinian led a group of censors to scold the Duke of Zhenguo.

The emperor symbolically advised them to be careful with their words, then turned around and blamed the Duke of Zhenguo for his inappropriate behavior. He ordered him to go back and reflect on himself for three days, write a letter of apology and submit it. If it was well written, he would be allowed to leave the house.

The news reached Chunxi Palace.

Xiang Yi said, "Although His Majesty didn't release our palace maids, at least His Majesty has let you off the hook. The censors have been reporting the incident caused by the Duke of Zhenguo in the capital for days, and it's caused a huge uproar, but His Majesty didn't give a clear punishment. But he did today. Isn't it because of what happened yesterday?"

Fei Wan's expression was solemn.

He shook his head and whispered, "This time, the punishment of the Duke of Zhenguo is probably not because of me. Perhaps those who know the truth are kept in the dark, and considering the punishment of Concubine Yue on the same day, they think that His Majesty is venting his anger on me."

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The emperor is the emperor.

This storm is about to come!
