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

At this moment, Fei Wan felt that she had done the right thing by helping Concubine Wu.

In the past few days, Concubine Wu seemed to be outspoken and simple-minded, but today, she seemed to be an extremely sharp person.

The confrontation between the Queen and Concubine Xian today did not seem intense, and it seemed that it was not as intense as the previous times when they dealt with Yu Tingjin.

Ordinary people may not care.

But Concubine Wu found it unusual and was even afraid that Fei Wan would be implicated. As soon as she sat down, she knew from Fei Wan's eyes that she wanted to say something private.

This saves Fei Wanhua the trouble of explaining.

Fei Wan said bluntly, "To be honest, sister, what's happening at court may affect the harem. I heard there's been severe flooding in the south, and the war in the north seems to be experiencing some setbacks. His Majesty has been feeling depressed lately, and this is why he's repeatedly promoted Zhishu and me."

Leaning closer, he whispered to Concubine Wu, "The Zhenguo Mansion has business dealings in the south, and I heard they're involved in the flood. Prime Minister Zhao and his men are working hard to investigate. The Empress and Concubine Xian must have heard the news from their respective families. There's been a hidden grudge between them for years, and I'm afraid a fierce battle is about to begin."

Concubine Wu's eyes widened when she heard this.

In addition to shock, there was also a hint of fear towards Fei Wan.

She thought Fei Wan was lucky, kind, and somewhat smart, but she didn't expect her to dare to discuss state affairs.

Moreover, the Prime Minister's faction's investigation into the transactions of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must be secret. How did Fei Wan, a palace maid who had just taken office, know about it?

"Does this have anything to do with us..." she stammered.

Fei Wan said, "Of course. Duke Zhenguo Jian is in the Emperor's favor, so Consort Xian can live in peace in the harem. If something happens to the Duke Zhenguo's mansion, the Empress will be the only one in power in the palace. I was promoted by stepping on Consort Chun, who she supported. Sister, do you think I will have a good ending? Sister has been in the palace longer than me, so you don't think the Empress is really as kind as she appears to be?"

Concubine Wu bit her lips tightly.

The first time I saw Fei Wan’s sharpness, I felt uneasy.

"It's not too late for you to stay away from me now, sister."

Fei Wan stood up and said calmly, "Even if you leave me, I will still help you from beginning to end even if Concubine Jian bullies you. I will live in the palace next door, and I will not bear to see my sister humiliated."

"But if you are open-minded and willing to take the risk, you can find me this afternoon and we will go to see the virtuous concubine together."

Fei Wan nodded, said goodbye and walked out of the pavilion.

Concubine Wu was still in a daze and hadn't come back to her senses. She only asked blankly: "If something really happened in the Zhenguo Mansion, I will see the virtuous concubine..."

"Just a greeting." Fei Wan said.

She had no intention of joining the virtuous concubine.

It’s just that she doesn’t want Concubine Xian to regard her as an enemy.

At least until her position is consolidated, she cannot accept the double attack from Yu Tingjin's Yu family and Concubine Xian at the same time.

As for the future...

The virtuous concubine and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion were just stones blocking her way forward. She could just move them away slowly.

"My lady, will Miss Wu come this afternoon?"

On the way back, Xiaohui, who had been attending the class, became worried.

She didn't quite understand what Fei Wan was saying about state affairs, but she felt it was very serious and dangerous. What if Concubine Wu refused to become her own, and the young lady had told her these things, what if she told others?

"meeting."

Fei Wan was determined.

She had survived many life-threatening situations in the last few years of her previous life, and had developed a pair of eyes that could judge people. Although she might not always hit the target, she could at least be sure of it.

Some people may seem reliable, but they may fail at a critical moment. Others may seem reckless, but they always act within the framework and avoid unexpected situations.

Concubine Wu is the latter.

Fei Wan was 70% sure that she would stand with him.

What about the remaining 30% uncertainty?

It doesn't matter.

Those who accomplish great things have no reason to fear minor flaws.

If you have to be 100% sure before you start anything, you will never accomplish anything!

"My Lady, we've found out. Zhao Cairen is the daughter of the Yu family..."

During lunch that day, Bai Lu received news from his superiors.

He quickly reported it to the queen quietly.

The Yu family lost their daughter and adopted a daughter and raised her as their legitimate daughter. Over the years, few people in the capital knew Yu Tingjin's exact identity.

The Yu family deliberately downplayed the matter and did not publicize it after the real daughter was found. Yu Tingjin was promoted to the position of imperial concubine, and the real daughter disappeared from everyone's sight.

But if you look carefully, you can still find it.

Because there was a small incident when Madam Yu lost her daughter.

The Yu family's dislike for Fei Wan, especially the second son of the Yu family who often insulted Fei Wan without restraint, also made the servants of the Yu family speculate.

Fengyi Palace already has spies in the Yu family.

On the other hand, they asked a donor who was familiar with Zen Master Huizhen of Baoning Temple indirectly. Although Huizhen refused to admit it, he only said to others that he had helped the Yu family find the child, but had never been successful.

But then Huizhen went to the Yu family and was entertained in the house by Minister Yu and his wife for a long time.

On the way out of Yu's house, Huizhen took out the silver bills from her sleeve and counted them while no one was around.

All these things reveal Fei Wan's identity.

The queen put down her silver chopsticks, and the smile on her lips was cold, different from when she was in front of others.

She already knew that Yu Tingjin was an adopted daughter.

It doesn’t matter if I adopt a daughter, as long as she is useful.

Moreover, the identity of an adopted daughter can be used to manipulate people in the future, either upward or downward.

But I didn't expect...

"She's so bold, playing tricks right under my nose and refusing to tell the truth!"

I had previously sent Bai Lu to privately inquire about Yu Tingjin Feiwan's identity under the opportunity of delivering something.

But Yu Tingjin insisted that Fei Wan was just a maid.

"Then let her calm down a little. Only when she's completely cool will it be more effective."

The Queen likes subordinates who are not very smart, but she does not like subordinates who are not smart and are disobedient.

Yu Tingjin has been desperate lately, acting on his own, and really needs a lesson.

"Add some dishes to Mr. Zhaocai."

The queen pointed at the golden ham that she had only touched with her chopsticks and asked Bai Lu to ask Fei Wan in person.

Bai Lu went to Guanlan Courtyard immediately.

Fei Wan took the tray with both hands, thanked the Queen for the food, and dismissed the attendants as Bai Lu instructed.

But he flatly denied his identity.

"How could I be Lord Yu's biological daughter? Where did you hear that..."

"Really not." Bai Lu asked again.

Fei Wan shook her head again and again, tears in her eyes: "No."

"I must have misheard the rumor." Bai Lu smiled. "My lady, don't worry about it. But if you have anything to say, just tell our queen. She loves you very much."

"I see."

Send the egret away properly.

Fei Wan smiled secretly.

The Queen ascertained the truth so quickly.

And asked directly to her.

It can be seen that he is anxious.

But she just wanted to hide the truth and deceive the queen.

The queen couldn't tolerate her.

In her previous life, during the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, Concubine Xian made a mistake and was stripped of her title and confined to her house. Then, the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion had half of her property confiscated by the government.

Fei Wan was in agony at the hands of Yu Tingjin at the time and had no idea what exactly Xian Fei had done wrong. She only knew that Yu Tingjin was very proud of Xian Fei's downfall and often praised the Empress in private.

It must be the Queen who took action.

Fei Wan rose to power in this life from the suppression of Yu Tingjin, and every step he took was stepping on Yu Tingjin who was supported by the Queen. It was an established fact that he had offended the Queen.

So it doesn't matter if I offend you again this time.

Judging from the Queen's anxiety today...

Whenever the Queen deals with Concubine Xian, she will take her with her.

In the melee, she was able to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.

Fei Wan gave the dishes given by the Queen to the servants, and ate the dishes given by the talented person herself. After eating and drinking her fill, she took a walk for a while and then took a nap to relax.

She is in poor health and needs careful rest and recuperation.

Only then will you have the strength to continue to compete for favor.

"My lady, Concubine Wu is here and has been waiting for you for a while."

As soon as I woke up, I heard Xiaohui's slightly excited report.
