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

"Your concubine, Zhou from Guanlanyuan, pays respects to Noble Lady Wu. May your majesty be blessed."

Fei Wan bowed his head and politely greeted the other party.

She rose rapidly, but was still only at the fifth rank.

The other party is a noble of the fifth rank.

Of course you have to greet each other when you meet.

"Oh, sister, get up quickly! We live in the palace next door, why are you being so polite to me?"

Concubine Wu almost ran over and helped Fei Wan up.

Fei Wan was hit in the face by her excessive enthusiasm.

She considered the other party's intentions in her heart and said softly, "Rules cannot be abolished. I dare not be rude."

Concubine Wu took Fei Wan's hand in a familiar manner and said, "Sister Zhao, how about coming to my room to rest your feet and have a cup of tea? I'll be staying there."

She pointed in the direction of Zhuhui Hall.

A flattering smile, with a hint of caution.

In her previous life, Fei Wan had been in the palace for several years, but she knew very little about Concubine Wu, simply because she was truly out of favor.

The palace maids' idle chatter never touched her.

She was a concubine in the Emperor's palace. After entering the palace, she was promoted step by step. In five or six years, she only became a noble lady. Compared with Fei Wan's speed of becoming a talented lady in just half a month...

There is no need to compare, there is no comparison.

She wanted to curry favor with Yu Tingjin, but she had never been taken seriously by Yu Tingjin in her previous life. In this life, because Fei Wan suddenly "caused trouble" and there was the chicken soup banquet for Concubine Xian, she was temporarily taken by Yu Tingjin to lead the charge.

Afterwards, Yu Tingjin forgot about it.

"Sister Wu."

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Sister, you are so kind. I shouldn't refuse. It's just that when I went to visit Chun Zhaoyi just now, the Empress misunderstood me. I'm a little tired now and want to go back and rest. Can I bother you another day?"

"Is that so... I was rash..." Concubine Wu was very disappointed.

But he suddenly had an idea and cheered himself up: "Or I can take you back!"

Too much enthusiasm.

Fei Wan allowed Concubine Wu to follow her, and after walking together for a while, she understood the reason.

"Miss Wu, Concubine Jian invites you."

A palace maid in pink, with an arrogant look on her face, stopped them halfway.

For a moment, Concubine Wu's smile was uglier than her crying.

He used the excuse that he had to send Fei Wan off and refused to go.

The maid bowed to Fei Wan and spoke only to Concubine Wu: "Young Master Zhao has her own palace maids to accompany her, so why bother Concubine Wu? Our queen is waiting for you to have tea together, so you'd better leave quickly."

Concubine Wu subconsciously tightened her arm around Fei Wan's, not wanting to let go at all.

She pleaded, "Sister Zhao, how about you come with me? It's more lively with more people, Concubine Jian will definitely like it."

The pink-dressed palace maid laughed impatiently: "Little Lady Wu, our queen didn't invite Little Lady Zhao, so why are you treating us on her behalf?"

Concubine Wu wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Okay... I'll go right away."

"Let's go then, Miss Wu?"

"Hey, good..."

Lady Wu agreed, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground and she didn't want to move.

Fei Wan thought for a moment.

A decision was made.

Then he asked the palace maid, "Are you the one who serves Concubine Jian? What's your name?"

"Master Zhao, my name is Zhemei."

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine Jian, for speaking up for me that day in Fengyi Palace. She also gave me many gifts afterwards. I'm very grateful. Please tell her that after I have a formal audience with the Empress and Concubine Xian, I will go to Concubine Jian to express my gratitude."

"My Lady Zhao is so thoughtful. I will definitely pass on your message."

Fei Wan thanked her and said, "I feel a little dizzy, and Sister Wu is about to take me back to rest. I also have something important to ask her. Could you please ask Concubine Jian to invite Concubine Wu for tea another day?"

Concubine Wu was immediately surprised and delighted.

The look he gave Fei Wan was like that of a rabbit seeing grass or a wolf seeing meat, he couldn't wait to hug her and take a couple of bites.

Zhemei didn't expect Feiwan to dare to stand up for Concubine Wu.

She reminded him, "My queen has been getting close to Concubine Wu recently. Firstly, she gets along well with her, and secondly, because she slapped Lady Su that day, she's trying to teach her a lesson so she doesn't repeat the same mistake and break the palace rules. Lady Zhao, your matter is very important. Do you have to consult her today?"

Fei Wan's attitude was gentle, but her tone was firm: "It is indeed very important... I hope that Concubine Jian will forgive me."

Zhemei glanced at Feiwan twice.

After all, he didn't dare to compete with the favored lady for the person.

He smiled, bowed, said a few polite words and left.

As soon as she left, Concubine Wu supported Fei Wan and kept thanking her. After sending Fei Wan back to Guanlan Courtyard, she went into the house and knelt down without caring that Xia He and others were still around.

"Thank you, sister, for saving me!"

Fei Wan helped her up and deliberately asked what was wrong.

In fact, you know without asking that it must be because of the incident that night, and the virtuous concubine and her group dealt with her severely.

Yu Tingjin was busy taking care of himself, so he had no time to care about her.

Sure enough, Concubine Wu wiped her tears and told Fei Wan about the humiliations she had suffered in the past few days.

It was said that Concubine Jian and the others deliberately called her over, and then used the excuse of sleeping to not let her into the house, making her wait outside the door for most of the day under the scorching sun.

She got heatstroke, but was not allowed to see a doctor. Instead, he forced her to take some bitter and spicy pills, which made her vomit and have diarrhea.

They woke her up in the middle of the night, brought her to their gathering to sing and entertain her, verbally humiliated her, and treated her like an actress.

She was forced to drink with ill intentions, and when she woke up from her drunkenness, she found herself having slept with her hair disheveled on the palace path all night, becoming the laughing stock of all the concubines in the palace.

Concubine Su was slapped by her at first, and later she found various excuses to slap her back more than a dozen times, and said that it was not enough and she would continue to slap her back in the future.

In addition, the food, clothing and other expenses of her palace were cut by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she hasn't even had a full meal recently.

All the palace maids who could run away ran away for fear of being implicated by her.

Those who could not leave or did not want to leave suffered more humiliation than she did, and were injured every day.

Her personal maid slipped and fell into the pond the day before yesterday. If she had not been rescued by a passerby, she would have lost her life.

"Sister... please help me!"

Wu Guiren knelt down again, weeping, and tugged at the corner of Fei Wan's clothes, begging, "You have a say in His Majesty. I'm not asking you to help me file a complaint. They are powerful, so don't provoke them. Just ask His Majesty to reward me with one or two insignificant things, so that the people in the Imperial Household Department know that His Majesty hasn't forgotten me in the corner, and let me have a full meal every day."

"And the palace maids in front of me, it was all because of my momentary lapse of judgment that I did something bad, causing them to suffer along with me. Sister, if you could just tell the Imperial Household Department to move them somewhere, it would be better for them to serve me anywhere than by my side."

"Forget about me. I deserve what I have done. I dare not implicate my sister any further. My sister helped me today, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Xiaohui stood beside Feiwan, listening intently.

Suddenly he sighed and said, "Lady Wu is so pitiful..."

Concubine Wu, who was crying, was stunned.

He looked up at Xiaohui.

Xiaohui stared at her blankly.

Their eyes met.

It was quiet for a moment.

Concubine Wu suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
