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

Next, Fei Wan humbly asked the emperor for advice on the memorials that she was unsure about.

Quite a few.

She was really unsure and wanted to ask.

Even if you are very sure, you should still ask.

So that she would appear stupid and reassure the emperor.

With He Shuangying's charming appearance before her, Fei Wan did not show her charm at this time. Instead, she acted seriously and quietly, acting as a dull but wholehearted apprentice.

Sure enough, the emperor was aroused by her desire to teach.

The embarrassment of having a secret meeting with her through the curtain was completely put aside. "You little idiot, what can't you criticize?"

Talk to her patiently.

Fei Wan had a confused look on her face, but she listened attentively, and showed admiration just right, which made the emperor enjoy it even more.

If he hadn't exhausted too much today and was physically exhausted, he would have wanted to explain all the memorials Fei Wan brought to her and teach her in detail.

He usually handles state affairs, reviews memorials, and maintains balance in the court, and the effort he puts in is unrecognizable to anyone. With an audience like Fei Wan who admires his mind so much, of course he has to talk more.

It’s true that after talking for a while, I started to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and a little dizzy.

Fei Wan quickly put away all the papers and let him have a good rest.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made Your Majesty so tired."

"No problem, deal with all of this and send it back to the cabinet so that Lu Guinian can leave the palace as soon as possible."

The emperor used Lu Guinian as an excuse, but in fact he was reluctant to give up teaching his apprentice.

I held on and gave a few more instructions.

When the memorial to the Ministry of War arrived, seeking a replacement for Yu Zhong, Fei Wan said, "I know how to handle this matter, but it involves my father, so I have come to report this to Your Majesty. I dare not withhold my report."

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, my father's negligence in managing the household led to him being embroiled in a lawsuit and forced to remain at home while on administrative leave. This is already a serious offense. If this has also delayed the important work of the Ministry of War, wouldn't that be an even greater sin? Therefore, although this memorial is not marked with a scratch, meaning 'keep it in the palace and not send it out,' I believe that finding someone to exercise my father's authority or simply dismissing him would be acceptable. I am not interfering in government affairs, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will be considerate of my feelings and show leniency to my father. I implore Your Majesty to punish my father severely and set an example for others!"

The emperor sighed upon hearing this: "Why must Zhaoqing do this?"

"I am deeply blessed by the Emperor, and I dare not betray His Majesty's kindness."

"Actually, I have other considerations. Your father will be reinstated soon. This has nothing to do with you, so there's no need to say more. Since I've received this memorial today, I'll reject it. Also, please write for me to reinstate Yu Zhongguan and have him oversee the construction of the Shenwei Camp alongside Lu Guinian."

"But Your Majesty..."

"Why, Zhao Qing, do you want to discuss state affairs with me?"

"Chen and concubine dare not!"

"Approve it as I wish."

"The concubine obeys!"

Fei Wan was extremely frightened and accepted the order.

After asking for a few final memorials, he helped the emperor lie down again before leaving the inner hall.

Turning back to the imperial desk, a fleeting smile appeared on her lips.

It seems that Your Majesty really likes being consulted!

She listened attentively to the instructions, which resulted in Yu Zhong's early reinstatement, with him taking charge of the reconstruction of the Shenwei Battalion. She had previously inquired with various sources and estimated that Yu Zhong's reinstatement would be two weeks away at the earliest. The Shenwei Battalion was a former, obsolete firearms battalion. Lu Guinian had achieved remarkable success with a few old cannons during the Qu army's invasion of the city, and was subsequently given full responsibility for its reconstruction.

The emperor had long wanted to find someone in the Ministry of War to assist him, but the candidate had not been decided yet. According to Lu Guinian, there were three people in the Ministry of War that the emperor favored, and Yu Zhong was not among them.

Today, the emperor assigned the task to Yu Zhong?

Fei Wan thought about it.

He secretly speculated that it was probably his dissatisfaction with Lu Guinian today that gave the emperor a flash of inspiration and made a sudden decision.

After all, he loves balancing acts.

No matter how much he trusted and reused Lu Guinian, he would not let Lu Guinian dominate the job alone. Placing people who had little relationship with him in the jobs he was in charge of could provide supervision.

Yu Zhong and Lu Guinian didn't interact much on a daily basis, and they were just acquaintances. In addition, he, the imperial concubine, had conflicts with Lu Guinian many times, so His Majesty must be very relieved.

Fei Wan reviewed memorials until the evening that day. He finally finished reviewing all the memorials that the emperor had been forced to submit in the past two days. After the emperor's review and approval, he asked the eunuchs to forward them to the cabinet.

Lu Guinian also submitted a letter of apology, and attached a gorgeous article praising the emperor's comments during his illness. He sent them to the emperor's bedside and won the emperor's smile.

"This Lu guy has also learned to flatter!"

Fei Wan listened and thought to herself, you seem to really like this flattery.

But she said angrily, "He's sensible and knows that Your Majesty has worked hard. If he doesn't even understand this principle, then how can he be loyal to the emperor? In my opinion, even if he pleads guilty, Your Majesty should punish him severely and let all the court officials see that the emperor's majesty cannot be violated! You are usually too kind to your officials, and you have spoiled them so much that they have no scruples and don't even care about your health. How shameful!"

"Zhao Qing, don't be angry. I know you feel sorry for me. But I don't care about these trivial matters. After all, they are all good ministers serving the country."

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. You are truly the most benevolent ruler in history."

Fei Wan spoke flattering words without hesitation, and her usual sincere eyes made the emperor feel even more at ease.

In addition, he felt a little guilty about his misbehavior behind the curtain today, and in the end, all of this turned into a generous reward. He asked Cao Bin to pick out a large amount of jewelry from his private vault and let Fei Wan take it back when she said goodbye.

This made He Shuangying very jealous.

He Shuangying thought that Concubine Zhao was just following the emperor's instructions and casually making circles and marks on the memorial. It didn't tire her physically or mentally, but she was still rewarded handsomely.

What about her?

She tried her best and worked hard, from bed to bath, and tossed and turned for a long time, but she couldn't even regain her position.

Why?

However, she did not dare to show any resentment or jealousy, and could only act coquettishly and secretly ask the emperor for rewards.

As a result, the emperor only rewarded her with a golden hairpin.

The design was ordinary, and it wasn't inlaid with any expensive jewels. She would have been delighted to receive this reward before, but compared to Fei Wan's reward today, it seemed so insignificant. Comparisons are frustrating, and she couldn't be happy!

She wanted to stay overnight and try again.

But the emperor called out to Cao Bin.

Let Cao Bin send someone to send her back.

He Shuangying didn't dare to disobey too much and left in a wronged manner.

But she didn't know that the emperor was really tired today and just wanted to have a good sleep tonight. He didn't want to touch any woman!

"Has the corpse from the Yu Mansion been brought into the palace?"

Fei Wan returned to Chunxi Palace and inquired about this matter first.

Xiang Yi had already communicated with the outsiders and reported: "They wanted to send it, but the Queen Mother wouldn't allow it and sent people directly to the Yu Mansion to perform an autopsy."

"What's the result?"
