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

Xiaohui came back without wasting any time.

She had calmed down from the excitement of beating Yu Tingjin.

Fei Wan asked her to be on night duty. There was no one around. Xiao Hui covered Fei Wan with a blanket while quietly reporting:

"My lady, Derong received the letter and sent someone to do the work. He promised to deliver it tonight."

After hesitating for a moment, she finally expressed her concerns: "But... when I go there, the palace gates will be locked soon. Will he be able to do it..."

Fei Wan said: "Yes."

Derong, a young eunuch at Chengshun Gate, was secretly doing this business. He was responsible for communicating information and delivering things between the inside and outside of the palace. He was not allowed to do this openly, so everyone asked him to help in private.

Of course, this is limited to palace maids and eunuchs, and only a small number of people know about this channel.

It is one of the many gray areas in the palace.

In her previous life, when Fei Wan was in Xinzheku, she happened to have some interactions with Derong.

Therefore, we know that he was nominally a small servant who took care of the flowers and trees and looked after the garden near Chengshun Gate, but privately he made a lot of money from this business.

In this kind of business, one relies on credibility and confidentiality.

The last time Fei danced Nuo dance to seduce the emperor, the dance clothes she used were purchased from outside through Derong.

This time, I gave the letter to Derong to handle because I saw how reliable he is.

"Go sleep on the couch, don't sit on the footstool. I can't sleep well with someone beside me."

Fei Wan saw Xiaohui sitting on the footrest under the bed according to the night watch rules, and pointed to the couch under the window not far away.

Xiao Hui shook her head: "I won't use the bed, it belongs to the young lady. If you don't want someone by the bed, I will move away."

Fei Wan grabbed her.

"When there's no one around, don't call me a slave. I can't stand it."

"...Young Master?"

Xiaohui was puzzled.

Fei Wan said softly, "We are all raised by our parents. Who would be willing to be a slave unless they have no other choice?"

Xiaohui was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Then hot tears fell.

Ever since she sold herself into the palace as a slave during the famine, she had been subjected to beatings and scolding for several years, and no one had ever felt sorry for her.

"Little Master!"

She knelt on the ground.

Kowtow to Fei Wan.

"My young master, you said before that you wanted to choose the people to serve you. Can you please leave me here? I am willing to follow you and will do whatever you want with me!"

All the people around Fei Wan at this time were temporarily assigned to serve when Guanlan Courtyard was sealed off. The few people assigned when she was promoted to Changzai had been dismissed by the emperor because of the rat incident.

Therefore, after the ban is lifted, Xia He, Xiao Hui and others should still return to their original places, and Guanlanyuan will add palace maids according to the quota for talented people.

Xiaohui really wants to stay with Feiwan.

She was willing to stay, even if it meant working day and night and suffering like in Xinzheku.

Because Lady Zhao would not bully her or abuse her. Instead, she would care about her and help her vent her anger!

"Get up, silly girl. If I didn't want to keep you, why would I have entrusted you with such an important task as guarding Yun Liu that night, and why would I have taken you to fight Chun Zhaoyi?"

Fei Wan leaned on her elbows on the soft pillow and chuckled softly, "Am I going to make you an enemy of Consort Chun for no reason, and then send you back to the Xinzheku, expecting her to take revenge on you? That wouldn't be deliberately harming you."

Xiaohui stared at Feiwan in a daze. Her originally small eyes widened into a round, dark and shiny color, like a cute puppy.

"My lady, you've wanted to keep me for a long time?! I'm such a fool, don't you despise me..."

"How can you be stupid?"

Fei Wan reached out and gently touched Xiao Hui's head.

"You can carve so well. No one can match your dexterity."

"But... I always do the wrong things. They all say I'm stupid..."

"Don't worry about what others say." Fei Wan interrupted her and whispered, "You are you. As long as you don't think you are stupid, don't believe what others say. They are just jealous of your excellence and are deliberately scolding you. There is no other you in this world. No one can replace you."

Xiaohui had never heard such words before.

She never considered herself to be anything special. Even though she could create realistic sculptures, she never received praise for them.

Only Princess Zhao, upon discovering the broom handle she had carved, praised it highly and even asked her to make it a gift for His Majesty...

Lady Zhao truly treated her as a human being.

"My dear, you are so kind..."

She didn't know how to thank Fei Wan.

I could only swear silently in my heart that I would serve Fei Wan wholeheartedly and do whatever she asked me to do!

"Okay, you're tired after a day, go to sleep."

Fei Wan pointed at the couch again.

Her eyes were so sincere and warm that Xiaohui couldn't help but obey and actually lay down on the couch.

"And one more thing."

"What?" Xiaohui suddenly stood up and ran back.

Fei Wan laughed: "Why are you so nervous? It's not a big deal. I just want to remind you again that you don't have to treat yourself like a slave when no one is around. We all come from the same background."

Xiaohui blinked back the tears in her eyes and nodded with a sob: "Ah!"

After turning off the lights, they both lay down.

Fei Wan listened to Xiaohui tossing and turning gently on the couch, as if she was having trouble falling asleep.

She knew that after this incident, Xiaohui had been completely conquered.

You can use it with confidence in the future.

Moreover, this little girl's timidity and clumsiness are actually the same as before. She is just scared because she was beaten and scolded so often.

In fact, I am very smart.

Otherwise, if she had been asked to hide under the bed and keep an eye on Yun Liu the night before, she wouldn't have done the job so well and unexpectedly.

Originally, Fei Wan was just testing her, not worried that she wouldn't be able to do the job well and let Yun Liu succeed. If Yun Liu succeeded, Fei Wan had a second plan.

But unexpectedly, Xiaohui not only kept an eye on Yunliu's actions and hid the voodoo figurine, but she even went a step further and replaced it with a carved wooden figurine.

Xiaohui played an indispensable role in Yu Tingjin being demoted three levels at once.

Fei Wan had already decided to help Xiaohui escape from her suffering, and now she was even more determined to keep her.

Taking her to fight Yu Tingjin would also completely tie her to himself.

And what I just said was a sincere redemption.

It is also a way to win people's hearts.

Fei Wan admitted that she was not a good person.

Saving and helping others is also mixed with calculation and exploitation.

She is not simply kind.

I don't want to be a simple and kind person anymore.

She just wants to win.

Defeat those masters and become the master of the masters!

……

"My lord, there is a letter for you."

The next morning, Xia He handed over a letter.

The envelope was written with "Zhou Shiqi" but without the sender's name.

Fei Wan had just gotten up and hadn't finished washing up yet. The letter came really early.

She could basically guess where it came from.

As expected, Xia He explained, "The letter was delivered early this morning by the Mail Office of the Palace Administration. There's also one at Chun Zhaoyi's in the front yard. The mail office also said that the messenger instructed that if you can't read, you should go to Chun Zhaoyi and have her read it to you personally."

Fei Wan smiled faintly.

Opened the letter.

I opened the letter and saw only three lines of words on it.

"Heinous treason! He disregards human ethics and commits treason!"

"Hurry up and kowtow to Master Chun and confess your guilt! And explain to His Majesty that Master Chun is innocent!"

"Otherwise, no one in the Yu Mansion will forgive you!"
