Fei Wan looked at the invitation on the tray.

It was not made in a fancy way, just a plain light beige paper, completely different from the gorgeous invitations that Changle Palace had given to people in the past, which were scented with precious fragrances.

The content written on the paper was also simple, just inviting people to gather at Changle Palace so that the sisters could sit down and talk.

After a brief pause, Fei Wan sent the maid out to tell the palace attendant who delivered the invitation: "Tell her to go back and inform Lan Zhaoyi that I will be there on time tomorrow, and that Concubine Yu will also be with me."

The maid agreed and went.

Yu Sujin was puzzled. "Sister, you're injured. His Majesty has allowed you to rest. You could have refused. I don't know what Concubine Lan is up to. Concubine Yue has just been demoted. Who knows if this banquet is appropriate? Seeing that His Majesty is planning to crown the Empress soon, Sister, it's better for you to wait and see."

She didn't know that the emperor had already chosen Concubine Yue as the queen, and she thought Fei Wan would have a chance.

I'm afraid Yue and Lan will do something bad to Fei Wan.

Fei Wan lay on the soft velvet pillow, half-closed her eyes to rest, and slowly told Lan Zhaoyi the sinister intention of emphasizing her good luck.

Yu Sujin was stunned.

She was also present in the imperial court that day, and she thought that Concubine Lan was too talkative and annoying, but she didn't expect that there was such a deeper meaning behind it.

"Then she must have ulterior motives in hosting this dinner on behalf of Concubine Yue. Eldest sister, why do you insist on going?"

"I've got nothing to do anyway, so I might as well see what kind of waves this little fish like Lan Zhaoyi can make. Isn't that quite interesting?"

Fei Wan's voice was slightly cold.

Lan Zhaoyi, once one of Yue Fei's main generals, gradually faded from public view after the fall of Jian Fei. Jian Fei brought her own death upon herself, but Lan Zhaoyi took the initiative to retire.

At this time, Fei Wan finally saw her take some action and felt a little excited.

If she is really a poisonous snake, get rid of her!

Yu Sujin felt a sense of relief after hearing Fei Wan's relaxed words. Her elder sister wasn't afraid of Lan Zhaoyi and the others' mischief, so she wasn't afraid either.

"Okay, I'll go with my elder sister. As long as my elder sister is here, I'll cooperate with her no matter what happens."

Her well-behaved appearance made Fei Wan smile.

Fei Wan initially used this half-sister as a pawn and helper.

I didn't expect that she would become more and more useful.

Especially when she followed Zheng Zhuyi to lurk beside the Queen Mother, she was able to quickly judge the situation at the critical moment and take risks to achieve merit, which really surprised Fei Wan.

"This time, we captured the Empress Dowager and made Miss Zheng Si fail. You have cooperated with me very well." Fei Wan first praised, then asked with concern, "Is your aunt settled?"

"Thank you, elder sister, for your concern. Everything has been settled. Concubine Qin, who manages the household, has helped to tidy up the inner house and sent away a few suspicious servants. My aunt has also assigned more staff to the courtyard. The servants and night watchmen are all reliable and reliable. I believe that there will be no more incidents of people sneaking into the courtyard at night."

Fei Wan warned: "Your aunt is your weak spot, so you must be careful to protect her. Later, you can find someone suitable. Go outside and hire two guards with good martial arts skills, preferably women, who can live in the inner house to protect your aunt."

Yu Sujin's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Eldest sister is still very resourceful! However, it's hard to find a reliable and capable female guard. Eldest sister, can you help me? You don't have to spend any money, just help find the manpower, okay?"

Fei Wan couldn't help but smile.

Second Miss Yu is very clever in showing her loyalty.

I even asked her for help with my aunt's safety, which meant I entrusted everything to her.

Finding a security guard is not difficult.

Ma Xiaofeng was a shrewd man in the martial arts world, so it was no problem for him to find a few women with good skills. He could then cleverly send them to the Yu Mansion to work.

Fei Wan agreed immediately: "Okay."

"Thank you, elder sister. Thank you, elder sister!"

Yu Sujin was overjoyed.

She was delighted that her elder sister accepted her further surrender.

From the moment Zheng Zhuyi threatened her aunt's life, she understood more deeply that she had no choice in this life except to climb up the palace with Sister Ding, climb high and have great power.

With Zheng Zhuyi moving into Ciyun Palace, she was desperate, even giving up her own life and that of her aunt. Trembling with fear, treading on thin ice, and acting according to the situation, she finally found her chance to overthrow Zheng Zhuyi and turn the tables.

"The Queen Mother escaped from the palace, and you dared to go with her? His Majesty was accompanied by archers at the time. Weren't you afraid of being shot to death by arrows?"

Suddenly I heard my elder sister ask this.

Yu Sujin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "The Queen Mother fled for a distance, but His Majesty still didn't move. I guessed he was deliberately letting her go, perhaps to catch a bigger fish. So I'll follow him and act accordingly. I'll have a chance to make a better career, which is better than being a coward forced into Ciyun Palace by Zheng Zhuyi and being looked down upon in the future. I'm just risking my life and my aunt's life!"

"What a gamble." Fei Wan exclaimed.

This girl is no longer the young and innocent lady she was when she first entered the palace.

Zheng Zhuyi's threats and negotiations polished a rough jade.

Fei Wan reminded: "After the big gamble, calm down your mind. You don't have to do anything during this period of time. Just be your concubine."

"Yeah, I remember."

Yu Sujin took the instruction seriously.

The position of noble concubine is not high enough, she knows that she will go higher in the future.

Just follow Sister Ding!

Before noon the next day, she arrived at Chunxi Palace.

Help Xiangyi and others prepare for the trip.

Then he accompanied Fei Wan and took a sedan chair to Changle Palace to attend the banquet prepared by Lan Zhaoyi.

Lan Zhaoyi personally stood at the palace gate to greet them.

The smile was very warm: "Empress Zhao Fei is finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, but they were afraid you wouldn't come."

Yu Sujin helped Fei Wan out of the sedan chair and met Lan Zhaoyi's smile. "Empress Zhaoyi specially invited me, so how could my eldest sister not come? Even if it means offending Empress Yue, I can't refuse yours."

Lan Zhaoyi's smile paused. "What do you mean?"
