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

At this time, Lan Zhaoyi, Shunfei and others were still in Changle Palace, and the other concubines who attended the banquet did not dare to leave casually.

Before arriving at Changle Palace, Cao Bin asked his apprentice to go ahead and secretly informed Fei Wan privately that Concubine Yue was going to be deposed.

So when he was still some distance away from Changle Palace, Fei Wan came out in advance and stopped him on the road.

"Eunuch Cao, please wait a moment. Allow me to go before the Emperor and obtain the exact decree. It won't be too late for you to pass it on then."

"Uh... this... is the Empress..."

"Cao Bin! Do you want me to kneel down and beg you in public?"

Fei Wan's expression suddenly changed and she asked loudly.

Cao Bin hurriedly bowed and said "I dare not" repeatedly.

At this time, palace servants were passing by on the nearby palace road. When Fei Wan raised her voice, palace servants from far and near looked over.

Fei Wan continued loudly, "Cao Bin, just wait. If His Majesty blames you later, I will bear the full responsibility for you! But if you ignore me, I will really kneel here and beg you. If I hurt myself, please help me find a doctor and medicine!"

The firm statement gave Cao Bin sufficient reason to justify postponing the imperial edict.

Cao Bin then cooperated very well and pleaded loudly in public: "Oh, Your Majesty Zhao Fei! I will listen to you. Please don't hurt yourself by kneeling. Your injuries have not healed yet, and Your Majesty is very concerned. I cannot bear this responsibility! But the imperial edict cannot be delayed. Your Majesty, please go and ask for it quickly. Otherwise, even if I lose my head, I dare not delay even a moment. Please have mercy on me!"

The two people's eyes met and they reached a tacit understanding.

Fei Wan thought to herself, Cao Bin truly lived up to his reputation as a master eunuch, a master who had risen to the position of Grand Eunuch in the Imperial Court. He was incredibly perceptive of the ways of the palace, and knew that Concubine Yue couldn't be demoted easily. Even if she was, the decree couldn't be passed on through him, lest the Zhenguo Mansion and the clan members take their wrath out on him. He was also remarkable for being able to predict she would likely help him.

Cao Bin thought, "Empress Zhao is indeed knowledgeable and insightful, with a deep understanding of the palace's dynamics." If anyone else had heard that Concubine Yue couldn't become empress, their first thought would be to eliminate a powerful rival. Not only would they not have a helping hand, they might even fan the flames and hasten Concubine Yue's imprisonment. He had indeed made the right choice. Concubine Zhao was not only willing to help, but she also did so openly, giving him ample reason to delay the imperial decree. How could one not admire such an empress?

The two people admired and appreciated each other in their hearts.

Although they are not allies, they are increasingly willing to help each other.

Fei Wan didn't stay any longer and immediately got on the sedan chair to intercept Concubine Yue. She sent people to search for Concubine Yue and soon found and stopped her.

There is no other solution to this matter.

In other words, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

The incident arose from a dispute between Concubine Yue and the Emperor, so Concubine Yue had to resolve it personally.

As long as she is willing to bow her head and submit to the emperor, Fei Wan judged based on the current court situation that the emperor still needs the Duke of Zhenguo to serve him, so he will not take Concubine Yue seriously.

However, Concubine Yue may not be willing to bow her head easily.

Although the matter is urgent, we need to be gentle and slow in our approach.

Therefore, when they met, Fei Wan did not try to persuade Concubine Yue, but simply took the cloak prepared by the maid and put it on Concubine Yue himself.

"It's winter now and the weather is getting colder. Please wear more clothes, sister."

She tied the embroidered belt of Concubine Yue's cloak, adjusted her collar, and straightened a tasseled hairpin on Concubine Yue's temples.

The gentle expression and slow movements softened Yue Fei's cold and stagnant gaze a little.

Concubine Yue rolled her eyes, withdrew her gaze from the void, and looked at Fei Wan.

"You came."

"Well, sister, Cao Bin told me privately, so I came."

Fei Wan gently held Yue Fei's hand and said, "Sister, don't be angry. That person is not worth it."

This sentence made Concubine Yue's tears, which had been suppressed, start to well up again.

After several years in the palace, everyone expected her to serve the king diligently, to control her temper, and to be gentle and docile. Only Fei Wan told her that the man was not worth it.

That person is not worth it!

"Sister, just cry if you want to. It's tiring to keep the grievances bottled up in your heart. It's better to cry it out."

Fei Wan handed over the handkerchief again.

The light pink handkerchief, embroidered with apricot and pear blossoms, has a light fragrance, just like her, sweet and gentle.

Concubine Yue was instantly enveloped by the warmth and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He hugged Fei Wan and sobbed on her shoulder.

Fei Wan didn't say anything, but just hugged her back, patting and caressing her gently, comforting her silently.

It was not until Concubine Yue's muffled sobs turned into loud crying and she cried for a long time, her voice becoming slightly hoarse, that Fei Wan began to comfort her softly.

"Okay, sister, let's stop crying. If we continue crying, it will hurt our throats, our eyes, our bodies, and our beautiful complexion."

"Who am I showing off my beauty to?"

Concubine Yue was crying and sulking.

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Show me."

She gently pushed away Concubine Yue's embrace and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Sister, you are naturally beautiful. I loved you the first time I saw you. You cried for someone who was not worthy, your eyes were swollen, your skin was roughened, and I only felt sad when I saw you."

"Pooh!"

Concubine Yue snatched the handkerchief away.

He rubbed it on his face randomly.

"Look at you, sister. You wiped your nose and tears at the same time, and even stained my handkerchief. I don't want this handkerchief anymore. You have to buy me a new one later. And I want you to embroider the flowers on it yourself. After all, the flowers on this handkerchief are all embroidered by me."

"I'll accompany you for a hundred times!"

Concubine Yue spat again and wiped harder.

She cried for a long time and the depression in her heart was relieved. She felt embarrassed when Fei Wan teased her at this time.

If she thought about it carefully, she herself didn't understand why she cried for no reason.

Even now, when she thought back to what happened in Chen Qian Palace, she didn't understand why she had to confront the emperor.

I've known that he's cold and indifferent for a long time.

What was there to be angry about when being questioned about something that had already happened? Was the humiliation of being questioned greater than the actual humiliation of being offended by the Tartar soldiers at that time?

"Sister, if you have cried enough, come with me to the Imperial Court and confess your fault to His Majesty."

Fei Wan keenly noticed the slight regret on Concubine Yue's face and immediately made a suggestion.

Concubine Yue's face darkened: "No!"

"If you don't want to go, you have to go!"

Fei Wan's expression was even darker than hers, and she suddenly lost her gentleness. She sternly said, "You want to abandon yourself, but I won't allow it! You don't have to consider the Zhenguo Mansion, let alone your own future. But even if you want to go to the cold palace, you must deal with this villain first. Without your dignity, how can you deal with Lan Zhaoyi? Do you want to watch her succeed in her evil scheme, be overjoyed and send you to Yanyun Palace with gongs and drums, and then torture, ridicule, and humiliate you every day?"

Concubine Yue raised her eyes.

Her red and swollen eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light: "Of course not! Even if I, Yan Zhirou, have to go to the cold palace, I have to deal with this villain first!"

Linglong beside him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the master no longer resisted and even rekindled his fighting spirit, he strode towards Chen Qian Palace.

She bowed to Fei Wan again and again in her heart, secretly saying, "Empress Zhao Fei, please forgive my previous rudeness. From now on, I will worship you as a Bodhisattva!"

The master whom she couldn't persuade was persuaded by Fei Wan with just a few words.

It has to be Empress Zhao!

"It has to be Empress Zhao!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Cao Bin, who was waiting on the palace road and dared not move forward or backward, received the message hurriedly delivered by the young eunuch in front of the emperor.

The emperor ordered him to return immediately without further instructions.

Cao Bin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once again, Fei Wan was completely impressed.

Look, look, don’t worry if you encounter a difficult problem, just go to Concubine Zhao, you can’t go wrong!

Chenqian Hall.

Fei Wan accompanied Concubine Yue into the palace and accompanied her out.

In just a quarter of an hour, the emperor and Concubine Yue had reconciled, and everyone was happy.

It was nothing else but because Concubine Yue listened to her advice, admitted her mistakes, and became attentive and attentive again.

The emperor took the opportunity to step down.

The emperor's surrender might not be a big deal, but his previous plans were more important. With Concubine Yue as his empress, the Duke of Zhenguo would lead a group of military generals, nobles, and clan members to dedicate themselves to his ambitions, which was exactly the new structure he wanted.

"Sister, let's go back to Changle Palace. Concubine Lan is still waiting."

Fei Wan held Yue Fei's hand.
