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

"Your Majesty, you haven't fully recovered yet. Please take care of yourself. It's so late, why don't we deal with those government affairs tomorrow? I don't want to interfere in government affairs, I'm just too worried about your health. Ever since I entered the palace, I've seen you full of energy and energy every day. But lately, I've seen that since the spy drugged you, you haven't recovered yet, you're tired and exhausted. I'm really heartbroken! I dare not tell anyone, for fear of causing panic, so I can only cry secretly by the lamp..."

The more Empress Yan knew that the emperor was anxious, the more reluctant she was to leave immediately.

She wanted to delay time and make the emperor anxious!

——You threw all the concubines in the palace aside and became entangled with that He family. I will not let you have your wish!

However, this is just a temper.

Queen Yan's real purpose was to consume the medicine in He Shuangying's hands.

She found out that the arousal drug in He's possession was short-lived. She wore it on her body as perfume, but it would soon dissipate and become ineffective.

In order to conceal her tracks, He did not dare to use the money until she arrived at Chenqian Palace. Instead, she put it in her purse before coming to Chenqian Palace. She estimated the time every day and used it when she saw that she was about to be summoned.

Empress Yan had deliberately delayed today, waiting for her to use the medicine, but she couldn't attend to the emperor. She was running low on medicine, so she had to go to the eunuchs in the imperial pharmacy to ask for more.

Queen Yan will wait for her to come!

"Your Majesty, you really need to take care of your health!"

Queen Yan raised her sleeve to wipe her tears and spoke in a sweet voice, which was very different from usual.

She was already stunningly beautiful, and today she had dressed up to the nines. She hadn't applied her usual meticulous makeup, preferring a faux natural look. She looked like she hadn't applied any makeup, but she had actually used a lot. Creating a natural look took more time and effort than heavy makeup.

The emperor was initially surprised to see her without makeup, but paid no attention. Then she suddenly burst into tears, her face as white as snow, her long eyelashes wet with tears, and her delicate figure like a pear blossom in the rain, deeply moved.

He was used to seeing Queen Yan in such high spirits, so how could he not feel distressed when he suddenly saw her like this, and talking about her concerns for him?

"Queen..."

The emperor's tone softened a bit, but was interrupted by Empress Yan.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to hear you call me that. I am your queen now, but I am no longer your Arou."

She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, her face full of grievance.

The emperor was distracted and recalled the days when she first entered the palace.

The girl at that time was bright and lively, like a newly blooming peony, beautiful and cheerful, making people unable to let go of her.

When they slept together, he called her "Arou" softly.

"Your Majesty, can you please call me 'Arou' again? If it's the same as when we first met, I will no longer be this useless queen. I am willing to be your Arou forever."

She leaned in and snuggled.

The emperor did not refuse and gently hugged her.

I listened to her snuggling in my arms and talking about the interesting things that happened when she first entered the palace.

Back then, they were in love for a while.

Although it is relatively short.

Later, he was attracted by other newcomers.

But it is still interesting to recall those times now.

The emperor's heart gradually softened, and he completely forgot about He Shuangying for a moment.

At this moment, He Shuangying was extremely anxious.

She quietly sent word to the emperor, requesting to accompany him tonight, and the emperor agreed. However, as the time for her secret summons passed and no one showed up, the effect of the medicine in her purse was almost gone.

This was the medicine she had bought at a high price from the Imperial Pharmacy, secretly selling the rewards given to her by the Emperor. If she didn't go to the Emperor's bed, she would have no money left to buy more medicine after it was used up.

She had to seize the opportunity to sleep with him twice and then coax new rewards so that she could continue to buy medicine and enter a virtuous cycle.

If it breaks, it will be a headache.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you called anyone yet? Shuang'er has been waiting for you for so long!"

However, she was disappointed that night.

Queen Yan stayed in Chenqian Palace until late at night, chatting with the emperor, playing chess with him, and reliving the time when they first met. She only left after making the emperor sleepy.

As soon as Queen Yan left, the emperor looked at the time and did not call Fei to come as it was too late. He also had no energy to look for He Shuangying. He asked Cao Bin to bring someone to help him wash up and then went to sleep.

He Shuangying threw away the expired spices in her purse reluctantly.

Look inside the box, there is only one sealed pill left.

She could only secretly pray to the Buddha for blessings. Next time, she must succeed in sleeping with the Buddha and asking for the reward!

However, her prayers did not work.

The next evening, she was unable to go to Chenqian Palace.

The next day, I couldn't.

Empress Yan kept a close eye on her, always finding something to trip her up and prevent her from achieving her goals, but she herself didn't know it.

After a series of setbacks, He Shuangying ran out of medicine.

She went to find Fei Wan.

"Your Majesty, I'm in a difficult situation in the palace right now. My food, clothing, and daily expenses are worse than even those of the prominent palace maids. But I dare not ask for your help. I only ask that you lend me a few beautiful pieces of jewelry. When I return to accompany the Emperor, I will dress up nicely and strive to have His Majesty restore my position so that I won't have to suffer hunger and cold in the future. Your Majesty, for your great kindness, I will repay you with my whole life!"

Fei Wan smiled gently, "Sister, you're too kind. Come on, I have a lot of jewelry here, just pick whatever you like."

He Shuangying didn't expect it to be so smooth, so she thanked him profusely and went to the dressing table with Xiangyi to choose.

Several drawers were opened, and the various kinds of jewelry inside sparkled so brightly that they almost blinded her eyes.

Concubine Zhao is so favored!

These are just a few small drawers. The big drawers in the chest of drawers next to them haven't been opened for her to see.

She also knew that Fei Wan had a special jewelry warehouse where all the precious jewelry that was rarely used was kept, and she never even had to see it.

With mixed feelings, she picked out a few pieces of jewelry, thanked him and left. He Shuangying secretly vowed that she must be restored to the throne, must be favored, and must be richer than Concubine Zhao!

She just couldn't believe that she, the legitimate daughter of an uncle's family, could not surpass a former palace maid!

"Looking at her condition, I'm afraid she will be captured by the Queen in the next two days."

In Chunxi Palace, Fei Wan and her maid smiled at each other.

The look on He Shuangying's face just now, where she almost dropped her eyes into the jewelry box, explained everything.

Fei Wan did not inform Queen Yan about this, but based on any slight movement, she could roughly judge what Queen Yan's next move would be.

Now, the emperor had been left out for a few nights and was very greedy. Not to mention that He Shuangying herself was already impatient and started to set her sights on the jewelry of Chunxi Palace.

Nine times out of ten, they will go all out.

Xiang Yi reported in a low voice: "Everything is ready, just waiting to close the net, don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Okay." Fei Wan warned, "Don't take this last step lightly. Those guys are very cunning. If we let them escape this time, it will be difficult to catch them again."

"Yes."
