Because of Zhishu's interference, Xie Weizhou's arranged marriage fell through. After leaving the palace, he set out on his journey north the next day.

The news that he and Concubine Hui had a duel in the palace and both armies won the money and materials raised by the concubine spread like wildfire throughout the capital, and people talked about it after dinner, and it became a good story for a while.

Zhishu was fined and stayed in Chuixue Palace, refusing to go out.

After being reprimanded by Concubine Hui, He Shuangying became more low-key and restrained. She no longer dared to beat or scold the palace maids. She would stay in her own residence when she had nothing to do, and would secretly meet with the emperor in front of him when she had the chance.

This was of course under Fei Wan's secret arrangement.

The number of times Fei Wan reviewed memorials increased from one to two, and then from two to three.

Because the emperor had become addicted to He Shuangying, his health was getting better and worse, and he never recovered completely, so he became a little lax in his attention to the court.

His slackness was made up for twice by Fei Wan without a word.

After a few attempts, Fei Wan was able to write detailed and lengthy comments on memorials. Of course, this was after receiving the emperor's approval. She always managed to get the emperor to agree with her comments, and she felt that he had taught her these ingenious responses.

"I didn't expect that after I was ill, I discovered that Zhaoqing was a female champion scholar. We have quite a lot to talk about in literature."

Once, after reviewing memorials late at night, Fei Wan was teased by the emperor before leaving.

At this time, He Shuangying was taking a bath in the bathroom. The sound of water could be heard faintly, and it could be heard that she was enjoying the bath very much.

She couldn't hear the whispers between Fei Wan and the emperor, so Fei Wan just spoke frankly to persuade them.

"Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me. If I were the top scholar, all the concubines in the palace would be comparable to great writers, much more capable than me. Some of them would give Your Majesty a headache! I only have one piece of advice for Your Majesty: Your health is the most important thing. Although I am presumptuous to do it for you, it is not a long-term solution. Sister He serves you diligently, and I don't want to send her away and upset you, but I am more concerned about your health."

The candlelight flickered, and her concerned expression was shrouded in a layer of light yellow glow, making her look so gentle and sincere.

The emperor was moved.

I secretly feel guilty about my shameless behavior in recent days.

He didn't know what was going on. Even though he was clearly not in good health, he kept thinking about He. There were so many women in the palace, but none of them could compare to the nameless He who made him worry and think about her so much.

"Late night..."

He reached out and held Fei Wan's hand.

Fei Wan also shook his hand back.

"Wanwan, I seem to have been a little..." The emperor paused and said uncertainly, "Is I ignoring you recently?"

"No, your majesty, do not say that."

Fei Wan reached out, covered the emperor's lips, and looked at him intently.

"I have never blamed Your Majesty. These past few times, I was reading memorials outside, separated from Your Majesty by only a curtain. I could always feel Your Majesty sleeping peacefully within the curtain, and I felt at ease. It's just that..."

Fei Wan showed a hint of embarrassment. "It's just that, ever since I suddenly saw Your Majesty and Sister He last time... I've been worried about Your Majesty's health, but I dare not say it directly. My heart is full of thoughts... I also secretly suspect that Your Majesty and Sister He won't always..."

If someone else had said this, the emperor would have been furious.

But Fei Wan was so gentle and timid, and looked at him shyly, the emperor was not angry, but felt a little ashamed.

"What a joke! How can it be every time!" He laughed. "It's just that last time I was thinking of you, and you were outside reviewing memorials and didn't hear me calling you. He was right next to us, so I..."

"Your Majesty, please stop talking. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have been so focused on completing the task you assigned me that I neglected you."

Fei Wan came out of the emperor's arms and bowed to apologize.

"Wanwan, why do you blame yourself like this?"

The emperor felt even more ashamed.

He seemed to have... let down Concubine Zhao's innocent heart?

"The other day, a box of Fire Phoenix stones arrived as tribute from the south. Each stone was as big as a lychee. I had them stored in the warehouse, ready to be given to everyone at the New Year's Eve banquet. Wanwan, this is great! I'll give them all to you. You can have them cut and set into jewelry, or just play with them."

When a man feels guilty, he wants to compensate with material things.

Of course Fei Wan refused.

But the emperor refused to listen.

She finally accepted it reluctantly.

Cao Bin quickly followed orders and brought in a box. When he opened it, he saw eight huge red gems lying quietly on the dark blue satin, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off them.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to give me such a precious thing as a reward?" Fei Wan opened her cherry lips slightly, looking very surprised.

The emperor nodded.

Tell Fei Wan not to refuse.

Fei Wan accepted it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a corner of a light rouge-colored soft robe at the bathroom door.

He Shuangying must have also seen the box of gems.

Also, her conversation with the emperor was initially low-pitched, and she didn't control her voice afterwards, so He Shuangying probably heard it too.

I wonder what Miss He Liu thinks?

Fei Wan left Chen Qian Palace holding the jewel box.

No one asked whether He Shuangying would stay overnight.

Just because it doesn't need to be asked.

He Shuangying had gained the closeness and private instruction of Concubine Chen, and her purse was filled with a scented powder that would make one succumb to temptation. As long as she stayed in the bedroom for a while, the effect would be seen.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter from outside the capital."

Back at Chunxi Palace, Xiangyi handed over a blank note.

Fei Wan took the call, went into the house alone, and used a special herbal juice to write on the paper.

My eyes lit up after reading it.

Zhao Huaisheng of Huzhou received the letter secretly sent by Ming Guipin and behaved himself in prison. In addition, the people she arranged secretly arranged for him and bribed a large number of local officials. Mr. Zhao was released two days ago.

But he disappeared as soon as he was released from prison, and even the people arranged by Fei Wan couldn't find him.

"If he could be easily traced, Mr. Zhao would no longer be Mr. Zhao."

The person who will be able to turn the tide when the country is destroyed in the future must be going somewhere to accumulate his anger and strength.

Maybe, he will become a bandit like in his previous life.

Or there are other ways.

Fei Wan no longer pays attention.

She just wanted to save his life and let him walk his own path in the future.

If Daliang is destined not to perish, even if Mr. Zhao does not stand up in her future in this life, there will be other Mr. Wang and Mr. Li.

Fei Wan crumpled the note into pieces and used it as fertilizer for the flowers, and couldn't help but think of Xie Weizhou.

Judging from the distance he walked, he has probably already walked halfway.

He casually took out half of the jewels bestowed by the emperor, ordered someone to secretly send them out of the palace, and send them to the north another day, and exchanged them for money to increase Xie Weizhou's military expenses.

The north is snowing hard, so please take care of yourself, my lord. I'm keeping your jade pendant safe for you!

……

"It's so infuriating. Why? Are people really that different? How can I compare to the one in Chunxi Palace? She got a box of gems as big as a box, gems as red as blood! But I, after one night in bed with her, only got a bracelet!"

Half an hour after Fei Wan left Chenqian Palace, He Shuangying also returned to her residence.
