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

He Shuangying moved out of Chunxi Palace, but her heart did not leave Chunxi Palace.

Even if Fei Wan didn't agree to let her come back today, she was sure that she would come back in the future.

Moreover, I will do it as the master.

Just like Fei Wan went from being a palace maid to the owner of Guanlan Courtyard, and then became the master of Chunxi Palace.

She has already gone through the first half of this experience, from a palace maid to the lady of Guanlan Courtyard.

In the second half, she firmly believed that she could complete it.

She regarded Fei Wan as a role model to emulate. She even decided to climb higher than Fei Wan.

Be the queen, be the queen mother.

She buried this thought deep in her heart and constantly motivated herself.

"He, you are no longer a concubine of the palace. Tonight, when you met me, you kept calling yourself 'concubine'. What crime have you committed?"

He Shuangying was not frightened by Fei Wan's sudden change of expression.

Instead, it made her more certain that her words had penetrated Fei Wan's heart, and Fei Wan was trying to cover up the truth by deliberately finding fault with her.

She knelt down and apologized, asking Fei Wan to forgive her unintentional mistake.

"I don't know if I can become a concubine in this life, but I really want to be your sister, to receive your protection and serve you wholeheartedly. Because, you are the only warmth I have felt since entering the palace."

She kowtowed deeply to Fei Wan.

His tone was very sincere and he choked up as he spoke.

Fei Wan was silent for a long time.

Finally, she sighed and said, "Get up. I don't blame you. When you have time in the future, just come to Chunxi Palace to visit me. If you are lucky enough to have His Majesty restore your position in the future, we will still be sisters."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

He Shuangying stood up, and when Fei Wan said it was getting late and they should rest, she didn't stay any longer and bowed and said goodbye.

Fei Wan held the maid's hand and walked into the inner hall.

She instructed the maid: "Remember to wake me up early tomorrow morning and go to Fengming Palace to pay my respects."

"Your Majesty, the Queen is ill, so you don't need to greet her in the mornings."

"No one else needs to go, but I will. I need to discuss the purchase of winter clothing for all the palace servants with Her Majesty. And as for Yanyun Palace... well, she's from the Yu family after all. If anything happens to her, it would be shameful for me. Even if I don't want to, I have to intervene. I can't let the Queen torture her too much because of old grudges."

"Yes, I remember it."

The master and servant talked in low voices.

He Shuangying slowed down her pace and walked out of the outer hall after listening.

I already have an idea in mind.

Aren’t the Yu family members living in Yanyun Palace the former masters and sisters of Concubine Chun and Concubine Zhao?

The affairs of the Yu family were widely talked about in the capital at that time. She had heard the female members of the family gossiping about the Yu family in the Zhongqing Earl's Mansion and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

She had also heard that when Empress Yan was the virtuous concubine, she and Concubine Chun were at odds with each other.

So, it was Queen Yan who tortured the fallen Concubine Chun. Although Concubine Zhao was at odds with Concubine Chun, because Concubine Chun was once the adopted daughter of the Yu family, she couldn't die in such a miserable way, right?

On the way back to her new residence from Chunxi Palace, He Shuangying had already thought of a plan.

Let’s use this incident to tear apart the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Zhao!

It can not only strike a blow to the Queen, but also win the favor of Concubine Zhao, in order to plan for the follow-up.

It can also make His Majesty notice her usefulness - Cui Liang said that His Majesty does not like the Queen and Concubine Zhao to be too harmonious!

If things go well, maybe she will be able to recover soon, or even take a step forward.

He Shuangying had a smile on her lips.

I strode in the cold north wind of the winter night. Although I was wearing thin clothes, I didn't feel cold at all.

Because both my heart and body are gradually warming up.

……

"Your Majesty is very busy and needs to take care of herself, yet she still comes to visit me and my child. I am very grateful."

The next day, Ming Guipin was happy about Feiwan's arrival, but also a little nervous.

Something happened with the eldest princess' birthday clothes. The clothes came from Fei Wan. In the end, the matter was unclear and ended ambiguously like all the previous turmoil in the palace, making Concubine Ming not know how to face Fei Wan.

She believed Fei Wan was innocent, but she was also worried that Fei Wan would feel that she had some grudge against her.

"What are you grateful for?" Fei Wan understood her uneasiness and smiled directly, "Just don't let anything go wrong with the clothes I gave you. Just don't dare to take my things again in the future."

The maids behind him put the gifts they brought on the table. There was a huge pile of food, clothes and daily necessities.

Most of them are for children, but there are also some suitable for Ming noble concubines.

These are things that Fei Wan carefully selected, so there won't be any problems like last time.

Ming Guipin quickly declined: "How dare I accept this position? It will cost Her Majesty a fortune."

"I like the eldest princess. I will come to give her gifts more often in the future. As her mother, please don't stop me."

Fei Wan's enthusiasm gradually reassured Ming Guipin.

It turned out that Concubine Zhao was not estranged from her.

Fei Wan sat down, dismissed the maids, and chatted with her about daily life. As they talked, they asked about what happened last time.

"...Have you sent any letters home recently? Is everything okay at home?"

Ming Guipin remained calm: "I send a letter home every two months. The journey is long, and the day of writing the letter arrives. Recently it hasn't been the right time, so I haven't sent any letters home. I envy your majesty. Your home is in the capital. You can send a letter home in the morning and it will arrive in the afternoon."

After a few words of small talk, he handed the eldest princess over to the new wet nurse and asked her to take her to the side room to play, and then asked the maid to leave.

Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.

Ming Guipin then said, "I'm sorry that I can't obey your Majesty's request last time."

Fei Wan smiled at her.

Ming Guipin did not send the letter out of the palace to anyone openly, but secretly, she contacted Derong, who was in charge of the collusion.

A letter was sent to Huzhou.

Derong, who specializes in this kind of business, has his own unique method of opening and restoring letters. No matter how the envelope is marked, he can cleverly open it, read the letter, and then put it back in its original packaging. The recipient will not be able to tell that the letter has been read.

Fei Wan thus learned the content of Ming Guipin's letter.

She wrote the letter to Zhao Huaisheng who was in Huzhou prison.

He advised the scholar, with whom he had been engaged, to bow his head temporarily and plan for the future.

"...As long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. I live in the wind and rain every day, and I only hope that you will be healthy and happy, and realize your life's ambitions. A real man's heart is as vast as the world, and he will not be confined by a small prison. Rather than fighting like a trapped beast, it is better to plan before taking action. With your wisdom and skill, why do you have to be a reckless man who risks your life? I hope you take care of yourself, and I will have no regrets in this cage!"

The letter had no salutation and no signature.

A pair of beautiful small characters, written neatly.

It seems that the fearless scholar, when he saw the handwriting, knew who was caring about him and advising him.

"I was too abrupt last time and shouldn't have embarrassed my sister. I have already secretly found someone outside the palace to try to rescue Mr. Zhao from prison. If there is any result, I will let my sister know."

Fei Wan did not expose the fact that Ming Guipin was secretly sending the letter.

After hearing this, Ming Guipin twitched the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to refuse.

But eventually I accepted it.

She whispered, "Although we have no connection, we are neighbors after all. If I know he is safe, I will be relieved. Please let your Majesty know when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I will."

Fei Wan guessed that Ming Guipin's trust in her was limited.

But it's okay.

Take it easy.

One day, Ming Guipin will also become hers.

The two chatted about something else.

Fei Wan stayed for quite some time.

Firstly, after the eldest princess' birthday, he wanted to get along well with Concubine Ming and eliminate any grudges.

Secondly, let’s see Ming Guipin’s attitude towards the future savior Zhao Huaisheng.

Thirdly, it is because He Shuangying is going to "accomplish merit" today.

She hid here with Ming Guipin to avoid any involvement.

Prove that the matter has nothing to do with her.

It was almost time, and sure enough, Xiang Yi's voice was heard outside the palace: "Your Highness, something happened at Yanyun Palace!"
