While Fei Wan and Concubine Yue were having a heart-to-heart talk, in Lincui Palace, Concubine Kang and Concubine Shun also dismissed the palace maids and held hands to talk in the inner room.

"I never imagined that even though I was so cautious and kind to others, a poisonous blue snake would suddenly appear in the palace and bite me out of the blue. I also never imagined that my sister and Concubine Zhao would take the initiative to help me out of my predicament."

Concubine Shun thanked Concubine Kang again and again.

She said that if it weren't for Fei Wan and the others, she would have been in big trouble.

Concubine Kang waved her hand nonchalantly: "Don't say such polite words. If I am plotted against in the future, you will spare no effort to help me."

He added, "Of course, I'd better not let anyone plot against me."

Seeing that all the palace people were standing in the corridor outside the palace, she moved closer and whispered to Concubine Shun, "Don't look at me as stupid. Actually, I'm not completely stupid. There are some things that I think I can see. For example, I think Concubine Yue is more reliable as the queen than the previous one. At least she won't harm us. Sometimes she is a little arrogant, but that's because of her good family background, talent and appearance. She is qualified to be arrogant. It's not a big deal, right? From now on, I will be under her control and be a concubine. I don't have to worry about anything else, don't you think?"

Concubine Shun deeply agreed with this.

Concubine Yue was strict with her subordinates, sometimes unavoidably harsh. However, she rarely engaged in intrigues, unless there was a tit-for-tat conflict. Since the two of them had no substantial conflict with Concubine Yue, they wouldn't be easily targeted, and were relatively safe.

"Sister, do you know that Concubine Yue publicly announced that she encountered palace servants discussing her reputation on her way back from the Imperial Court and was beaten to death? Qingyun went to the Palace Administration Office last night to inquire, and they said nothing of the sort. Concubine Yue simply sent the gossipers there to be beaten with sticks, ten strokes each, as a minor punishment and a major warning. She only said that to scare us all."

Concubine Kang was surprised: "Is that so? Amitabha, she must have accumulated merits. Otherwise, the palace maids and eunuchs were all raised by their parents. If they were beaten to death for saying a few words of gossip, their families would be so heartbroken!"

Concubine Shun said, "I inquired. It was Sister Zhao who followed Concubine Yue and persuaded her to show mercy. Now it seems that Sister Zhao can still persuade Concubine Yue a little. So after Concubine Yue is crowned as Queen, she may be more restrained than before. Our peaceful and good days are just around the corner."

Concubine Kang said, "As long as no one else colludes with the foreign enemy and causes chaos, it will be fine!"

Concubine Kang is always a spoiler.

The two of them had originally been looking forward to the days when Concubine Yue would be the empress and Fei Wan would assist her, but her words instantly made them uneasy.

Concubine Shun took a deep breath.

Stroking the handkerchief in his hand, "I hope so!"

The last time the Tartars came, they arrived in a strange way, sneaking into the capital without anyone noticing. There was not a single word of news at the border or along the way. I hope this terrible thing won't happen again.

It would be great if there was a strong army to protect them.

"When will Concubine Hui recover from her injuries?"

At this moment, both of them are looking forward to the early reconstruction of Li's army!

……

"Zhao Qing, do you miss me?"

When Fei Wan arrived at Chenqian Palace, she was teased by the emperor.

I just finished sleeping with you last night, and now I'm here to eat lunch with you. If it's not missing you, then what else could it be?

Fei Wan allowed the emperor to misunderstand her, lowered her head slightly, and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty is not serious."

"How's the injury? Does it still hurt today?"

The emperor asked this question because he touched her injured area several times last night.

Fei Wan naturally said it didn’t hurt.

"Cao Bin, pick out the best items from the inventory and send a few to Concubine Zhao."

The emperor's way of expressing his sympathy for Fei Wan and making amends to her has always been the same.

There are huge rewards.

When Qu Bing entered the palace, he did not break into the emperor's private treasury, which was heavily guarded, so the treasures in the treasury were not lost. The emperor then casually rewarded Fei Wan with some good things.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fei Wan asked the maid to follow Cao Bin to get something, and then took the emperor to eat.

The emperor was served comfortably with one meal.

"Your Majesty seems to be troubled. Is it because of the affairs of state? I do not understand, and I cannot ask, but Your Majesty, please feel free to talk to me about it. Just treat me as a wooden stake. Sometimes, talking about your troubles can make you feel better."

When accompanying the emperor to the east room to rest, Fei Wan comforted him in a soft voice.

Eat and drink your fill, with a beautiful woman by your side.

The emperor leaned on the couch and let Fei Wan lie on the cushioned stool, talking beside each other.

Looking at Fei Wan's delicate and beautiful eyebrows and gently stroking her slender hands, the troubles of the previous dynasty briefly faded away.

"Even if I tell you what's on my mind, you won't understand." The emperor said, a little sleepy, his voice lazy. "But precisely because you don't understand, I'll let you listen."

Fei Wan nodded considerately: "I will keep it in one ear and out the other, and will not reveal a single word to anyone else."

The emperor appreciated her understanding.

He was really troubled, so he half closed his eyes and briefly talked about it with Fei Wan.

Although the Qu army's attack on the capital of Daliang was a solo act of King Nanyu of Qu State and had nothing to do with the royal family of Qu State and other territories, Daliang also had sufficient reasons to send troops to punish Qu State.

The letter was delivered, and the Northern Qu Emperor responded by stating that the Prince of Southern Yu had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Liang State, resulting in heavy casualties and significant losses for the State. Upon his return to the Qu capital, he would be held accountable for his crimes. The former Queen of Daliang had also deceived the Prince of Southern Yu into marching south, causing significant losses for the State. The Northern Qu Emperor requested that the former Queen's accomplices be severely punished and that an answer be given to the State of Qu.

"What an excuse!" The emperor showed a look of disgust.

Tell Fei Wan that the Tartar commander, King Nanyu, has been assassinated by Yue Fei's nephew Xie Weizhou and his men. He was seriously injured and unconscious, and now we don't even know where he is. It is unknown when he will return to the capital of Qu State to be questioned!

"Furthermore, the Tartar emperor actually dared to turn the tables. His soldiers came to our Daliang to kill people, and he even dared to ask us for an answer."

Fei Wan was filled with indignation.

She had known about this for a long time, and now she was just showing her anger to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we have so many people in Daliang, and the country is rich and the people are strong. Send troops to pacify Beiqu! Otherwise, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in your heart!"

The emperor laughed and opened his eyes to look at her.

I didn't expect that Zhaoqing, who is usually gentle and kind, would say such a thing.

"It's not as simple as you say. One move will affect the whole body. You can't just send out troops whenever you want." The emperor explained patiently.

"I know..." Fei Wan said angrily.

She turned over and sat up, saying angrily, "Today I went to see Concubine Lan Zhaoyi and heard her speak a bunch of ridiculous words. If I had known the Tartar Emperor was so annoying, I would have trusted her just once and let her try!"

"Oh?"

The emperor was curious and asked what Lan Zhaoyi said.

"she says……"

Fei Wan suddenly stopped and looked towards the outer hall.

Two young eunuchs were standing at the door of the outer hall.

She moved closer to the emperor and lowered her voice, "She said she wanted to try her luck at the Beiqu Palace."

"At that time, I just thought she was fanciful."

"Now, after listening to your Majesty's words, I am somewhat moved..."

"Your Majesty, Consort Lan is evil-minded and cunning. It would be better to send her to disrupt the royal family of Qu State!"

A barely perceptible light flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Fei Wan said to herself, it’s done.
