This is a matter of life and death.

Queen Yan was really angry this time.

Not long after she ascended the throne, someone in the palace gave the eldest princess pollen, and someone killed someone in the cold palace.

She used pollen to take advantage of the opportunity to host a birthday party for the Grand Princess.

The murder in the cold palace was an opportunity for her to improve the treatment of all the palace maids and provide them with winter clothes and quilts.

Isn't this a slap in her face?

Specifically against her!

So with an order, Fengming Palace and Gongzhengsi sent many people to Yanyun Palace and quickly began to investigate the whereabouts of Yu Shuren.

In Fengming Palace, the concubines had different expressions, and most of them were a little uneasy.

The whereabouts of Yu Shuren, and whether he was dead or alive, were actually of no concern to everyone. However, with the recent turmoil in the palace, could a bigger incident occur that would affect everyone's lives, or even their safety...

After the war, everyone wanted to live a peaceful life!

Concubine Shun spoke softly and was the first to speak after Empress Yan ordered a thorough investigation.

"Sister He, you were accidentally involved in the incident with the eldest princess's clothes and felt wronged. This time, you happened to see Yu Shuren almost killed. It's really sad that you don't have the best luck. Why don't you go to the Buddhist temple in the palace to pray and ask for the Buddha's blessing?"

This seems to be said with concern, but it is not the case when you think about it carefully.

It was also pointed out that He Shuangying was involved in two things, which made people suspicious of her repeated jumping around.

She's just unlucky.

Compared to the rumors circulating in the palace about Concubine Zhao's excellent fortune, once the reputation of her bad luck spread...

From now on, everyone will try their best to avoid it.

Especially at this time when everyone is uneasy.

He Shuangying suddenly felt many disgusted gazes being cast towards her.

"Empress Shun, I just happened to encounter what happened today. It was Empress Zhao and I who discussed making the clothes last time. How can you say that I am unlucky? Besides..."

"Oh, stop talking. Go and pray for peace of mind." Defei, sitting next to Shunfei, interrupted He Shuangying before she could finish her explanation and said quickly, "It's not that I have to bring up your sad story, but several of your elders didn't die of old age. According to folk sayings, they will haunt their descendants. Although we can't see or touch this, we still feel uneasy, don't we? Let's go to the Buddhist temple, right away!"

As he said that, he ordered someone to take He Shuangying to the Buddhist temple to worship.

He Shuangying wanted to argue, but Queen Yan gave her a cold look.

"Get out! Go to the Buddhist temple or to Yanyun Palace for investigation. It's your choice!"

The people from Fengming Palace dragged He Shuangying away.

Empress Yan lectured the crowd, "Today, no one is allowed to leave. Wait here for the outcome. I must investigate where Yu Shuren went and why someone would want to kill her. Peace in the palace is hard-earned. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble will be severely punished this time to serve as a warning to others!"

Everyone in the palace was silent. Even the most outspoken Concubine De didn't dare to speak carelessly at this time.

Fei Wan looked at her nose and her heart, and sat and waited with everyone else.

The palace servants who went to conduct a thorough investigation heard that all the concubines were waiting for the results, so they did not dare to be negligent and worked very hard, using all their tricks.

Later I heard that the Queen Mother didn't even have lunch, and didn't let the concubines eat either. All the ladies in the harem were starving and waiting, which made these people even more anxious.

Who dares to take on such a big responsibility?

Investigate swiftly and thoroughly, investigate with all your might, and don't miss any clues.

Finally, just after the palace's designated lunch time, he figured out what was going on.

The Palace Justice Envoy who led the thorough investigation did not report directly to the palace, but asked Linglong who was accompanying him to quietly inform Queen Yan.

"Your Majesty, it's very likely that Madam Yu secretly took Yu Shuren out of the palace."

Linglong entered the hall and whispered to Queen Yan.

Queen Yan was secretly surprised.

Madam Yu actually dared to do this? Are you trying to kill yourself?

However, since the matter concerns the Yu Mansion, if it is exposed, this crime of deceiving the emperor by concealing the truth will affect Fei Wan.

Empress Yan remained calm and asked in a low voice, "Have you verified it?"

"We need to search the backyard of the Yu Mansion to confirm it, but we are basically 90% sure."

After hearing Linglong's words, Queen Yan knew that the matter was probably true.

The Palace Justice Envoy did not dare to report such ambiguous matters.

Empress Yan immediately frowned and rebuked, "I ordered a thorough investigation, and now you're backing down after finding nothing? Go out and tell those servants to keep investigating! If there's no result today, all of them will be sent to the Xinzheku to work!"

Linglong understood what he meant and cooperated tacitly by pretending to be terrified. She retreated and went out to pass on the message.

This was done for the concubines in the palace to see.

Let everyone think that the matter has not been clarified yet.

In fact, it was just a cover-up for Fei Wan.

After Linglong went out, she secretly told the people in Gongzhengsi not to make it public and made some arrangements.

Empress Yan lost her temper and looked around at everyone: "I will not tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. Even if I am sick, I will find out the villain who is stirring up trouble, so that the sisters can live in peace and harmony in the palace without any worries... Hey, Sister Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Fei Wan's body just swayed.

At this time, she placed her hand on her forehead and said softly, "I feel a little dizzy, but it's okay. Please continue, Your Majesty."

"Go to the back hall and rest quickly. You are not fully recovered yet. I am negligent."

Having said that, he stood up and took people to send Fei Wan to the back hall.

Fei Wan was very polite and appreciated it.

Everyone was left alone in the main hall, while Queen Yan and Fei Wan were whispering in the back.

He told Fei Wan the results of Gong Zhengsi's investigation.

"Sister, are you feeling dizzy? This matter shouldn't be made public, otherwise, if something like this happens in your family, it will give those who dislike you more leverage. I'll buy you time, so you can endure the dizziness and quickly send someone home to bring Yu Shuren back to the palace. Then, just say that she ran away on her own and hid somewhere in the palace. Running away is a serious crime, and I will punish her. I will ensure that she doesn't reveal any truth and doesn't implicate you. Go now!"

Fei Wan was slightly stunned.

She really didn't expect that Queen Yan would think so about her.

She had just seen Linglong enter the hall to report, and she guessed that the result might have come out.

So he pretended to be dizzy.

Prepare to leave on the pretext of something and proceed to the next step.

Unexpectedly, Queen Yan took the initiative to create an opportunity for her.

And planned for her.

At the beginning of her rebirth, Fei Wan never thought that one day, the former virtuous concubine would treat her as a close friend or sister and be open-hearted to her.

"Sister Yan, thank you. I will remember your kindness."

Fei Wan said sincerely.

Although the situation was under her control and she did not need Queen Yan's help, she would remember Queen Yan's kindness.

So she accepted Queen Yan's favor and Fei Wan asked her maid to quietly go out from the back hall to make arrangements.

At this time, in the inner house of the Yu Mansion, Yu Tingjin was hiding in Madam Yu's room, chewing a chicken leg with big mouthfuls.

Not knowing that danger is coming.
