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

Chunxi Palace.

Fei Wan reclined on a soft couch by the window, surrounded by brocade, her features clear and bright. Yan Hou's white cat, Xue Tuan, lay beside her, snuggling up to her, his eyes squinting lazily.

Cao Bin finished introducing the six treasures he had chosen from the emperor's private treasury, bowing and smiling. "If your majesty likes these, then His Majesty will be relieved. Hearing that you were wronged, His Majesty immediately ordered me to bring you the best items from the treasury. If there's anything you don't like, just tell me and I'll go find something else for you."

"Nothing is unsatisfactory. Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern. Go back and report to His Majesty that I have not been wronged. I punished He Cainu according to the palace rules. However, He Cainu was newly promoted and proud. Her family has also suffered. I am afraid she is very aggrieved after being punished. I will send someone to comfort her later. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Fei Wan did not move from her reclining position, her red lips parted, and she spoke slowly with a smile.

The gorgeous skirt of flowing brocade drags on the edge of the couch, as brilliant as the clouds in the sky.

Cao Bin once again felt that Concubine Zhao was no longer the same as before. Although she still looked amiable and gentle, the aura of a superior that she emanated could not be underestimated.

"I will remember your Majesty's instructions and report back to His Majesty truthfully. It is my honor to be able to serve you. However, please allow me to say a few words. Your Majesty is still not fully recovered. Please rest as much as possible. Your Majesty is very concerned about your injuries and has specifically instructed me to instruct the Imperial Hospital to carefully treat you."

Fei Wan smiled and nodded, "I understand. The palpitations and dizziness I felt when He Cainu woke me up just now are gone now. The imperial physician came to see me and said there's nothing serious. I'm just too weak to be frightened. Please reassure His Majesty and don't worry about me."

Just as Cao Bin was about to respond, he heard someone suddenly speak loudly outside.

It was very harsh in the Chunxi Palace, which was very quiet inside and outside.

"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Zhao, I'm asking for an audience, why are your people blocking my way? Is it because Cao Bin is inside, and Your Highness is afraid that if I meet him, something will be exposed?"

What is this nonsense?

Cao Bin frowned secretly.

I recognized the voice as He Shuangying, the newly promoted sixth daughter of the He family.

In the past, He Shuangying was the niece of the Empress Dowager, and she would have been treated with courtesy after entering the palace, and he would have had to give her some face. But now, the Empress Dowager was dead, the He family was broken up, and they were all carrying the crime of treason. He Shuangying was an orphan, and she was only given the title of an eighth-rank concubine. How could she have any status?

As Cao Bin was the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, she had to obey him even if he showed her a bad look in public.

Therefore, Cao Bin stood there without moving, and did not respond at all when He Shuangying mentioned him.

Fei Wan's palace maids were blocking the way outside.

It was Xiaohui's voice.

"Miss He, the imperial physician just told us today that the Imperial Concubine needs to rest and not be startled. Please speak softly. If you startle the Imperial Concubine..."

"Get out of the way! I must see Cao Bin today!"

I heard He Shuangying shouting and rushing in.

Entering the outer hall wasn't enough, she had to enter the middle hall. Xiang Yi and her men blocked the door, and He Shuangying dragged her, even ripping her collar off.

But Xiangyi didn't let her in.

The palace maid was not allowed to pull or shove the young lady, so Xiangyi opened her arms to block the door and refused to move even though she pushed and pulled.

Until Fei Wan said, "Let He Cainv come in."

Xiangyi then opened half of the door.

But he stood in front of He Shuangying all the way to prevent her from rushing towards Fei Wan.

After He Shuangying swung the curtain and entered the room, she looked around the room, her eyes sweeping over Fei Wan, Cao Bin, and several other palace maids standing there - two were brought by Cao Bin from the imperial court, and two were by Fei Wan's side.

Finally, Xie Xian Xiangyi sneered: "Why are you blocking my way? Do you think I will hurt your queen? She is the only one who hurts me. How dare I, a mere concubine, hurt the powerful Concubine Zhao?"

Xiang Yi had quickly fastened her collar and bowed slightly. "Greetings to the young lady. Your intrusion was terrifying and unbecoming of a mere courtesan. Therefore, it is my duty to be vigilant and protective of you."

One corner of He Shuangying's mouth curled up slightly, a cold arc that showed great disdain.

"Noble Concubine Zhao is truly formidable. She even allowed a maidservant beside her to mock me in public. I wonder if the noble concubine has taught her servants the rules she mentioned?"

She stood there in a long dress the color of azure moonlight, tears in her eyes. Although her words and actions were very rude, her temperament was so fragile and pitiful, and her tone of voice was also delicate and soft, which made her rudeness look charming.

Strong and broken orphan!

Fei Wan leaned against the gold-embroidered cloud peony pillow, picked up a tassel and teased the cat in her arms, leisurely appreciating He Shuangying's broken beauty.

When she was called out and questioned, she smiled slightly and said kindly, "He Cainu, you haven't even greeted me yet."

"Your maid mocked me, but Your Majesty turned a blind eye and deaf ear, yet you still question whether I observed etiquette? Your Majesty, do you think this is appropriate? Do you dare to force me to speak again in front of His Majesty?!"

He Shuangying's eyes became even redder, and she bit her lips to try not to cry.

"Sister He, you really should show etiquette." Fei Wan had nothing to be afraid of.

Then he turned to Cao Bin and asked, "What do you think of the person in front of His Majesty?"

Cao Bin quickly bowed, his attitude extremely humble: "Your Majesty, please make fun of me. I don't deserve it."

Turning to He Shuangying, he said, "My dear He, the matter between you and Imperial Concubine Zhao is the matter of His Majesty's decision, and I have no right to interfere. I can only speak of what I have witnessed with my own eyes. My dear, you have indeed not greeted the Imperial Concubine since you entered the house. Perhaps you have forgotten?"

"you……"

He Shuangying stared at Cao Bin in astonishment, her eyes instantly filled with tears, which she couldn't hold back and streamed down.

She immediately wiped it off with her sleeve, gritting her teeth and saying, "Good, very good! Cao Bin, you servant, it turns out you're in cahoots with Imperial Concubine Zhao. No wonder you, a eunuch, stayed in Imperial Concubine Zhao's inner chamber for so long and refused to let anyone in. I'll report this to His Majesty and show him what kind of etiquette it is for you to share a room with Imperial Concubine Zhao!"

Cao Bin's face darkened and he stood up straight.

He said in a cold voice, "My dear He, I advise you to be careful with your words. This is the central hall of Chunxi Palace, not the inner chamber of the bedroom."

Due to his limited status, he could not confront He Shuangying in public.

But once the attitude was made clear, Xiangyi knew what to do.

Xiang Yi immediately said, "Miss He, you deliberately made a noise while the Imperial Concubine was recuperating, forced your way into the palace, and behaved rudely. You also slandered the Imperial Concubine's reputation and the reputation of Eunuch Cao. I really don't know what you intend. Don't worry, there's no need for you to report this to His Majesty. We at Chunxi Palace will tell His Majesty everything, and His Majesty will make the final decision. Just wait for your punishment!"
