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

Empress Yan interrupted Cui Liang, her face grieved, "Are you complaining to me about Concubine Zhao?"

Cui Liang shrank his neck.

Queen Yan was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He has always been afraid of her status and dared not be too presumptuous in front of her.

He lost his momentum and replied humbly:

"Your Majesty, I dare not complain, I am merely stating the facts. Furthermore, I am privately deeply worried about you... Imperial Concubine Zhao's favor is at its peak, and now she even disregards Your Majesty, beating and scolding those in your presence at will. Her daily intrusions and disrespects towards you, Your Majesty, are increasing. I believe..."

"You still know you're a slave!"

Queen Yan didn't have the patience to listen to his nagging, let alone his divisive words.

Just have him tied up and made to kneel aside.

This guy used to be very close to Queen Zheng, and later he defected to the Queen Mother. Queen Yan knew everything about it, so she would never give him any face.

Queen Yan led her troops into the palace.

"Your Majesty is in danger. I am going to rescue you. Who dares to stop me?"

Not only are there imperial eunuchs on duty in front of the Chenqian Palace, but there are also imperial guards protecting the emperor.

Even if it is the Queen, she must not be allowed to enter the palace without permission and must be stopped.

Otherwise, any queen could rush into the palace, the emperor's safety would be in jeopardy, and changing the dynasty might be easy.

So a row of guards quickly blocked the entrance to the main hall to prevent Queen Yan from breaking in.

The head guard on duty clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, this is my duty, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Please wait a moment while a palace attendant goes in to report."

Empress Yan said loudly, "I have urgent matters to attend to, and I am afraid that His Majesty is in danger. You are stopping me here, but do you know what His Majesty is like inside?!"

The head guard hurriedly urged the eunuch beside him, "Please ask the eunuch to go inside and report this."

The eunuch who was called did not dare to refuse and pushed open the palace door with gritted teeth.

The eunuch thought that since there was such a loud argument outside, the emperor must have heard the noise inside. However, he called out from outside the inner hall door, but there was no response after he called out twice.

He mustered up his courage and raised his voice slightly.

"His Majesty--"

"His Majesty?"

"The Empress and Consort Zhao are both outside. They each said they have something important to discuss with you..."

Later the noise became loud enough, but there was still no emperor's voice.

Just as the eunuch was about to muster up the courage to push the door open, it opened.

He Shuangying, wearing a bathrobe, lifted the curtain and said, "What are you arguing about? His Majesty was sleeping soundly, and was woken up by a servant like you. If I hadn't pleaded with you, His Majesty would have chased you out and beaten you to death if you had continued to yell!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The eunuch was extremely shocked to see He Shuangying there, because not all the eunuchs in front of the emperor knew that He Shuangying had been secretly meeting him recently.

The eunuch misunderstood and thought that Queen Yan and Fei Wan were here to catch them committing adultery.

So he hurriedly retreated, closed the palace door properly, and then turned back to report to Queen Yan, saying that the emperor was not seeing her and asked the two ladies to go back.

Empress Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "This palace and Concubine Zhao are both here. Your Majesty is not here?"

"...Yes, my lady."

"I know that the He family criminal is inside, and I want to hear from Your Majesty that she won't see me!"

Queen Yan pushed aside the palace maids around her and rushed forward. The guards held their knives across her front, but she didn't dodge at all and rushed forward.

The guard was so frightened that he quickly put away his knife.

Empress Yan pushed aside the eunuch who had reported the matter and said, "If I had not heard with my own ears that Your Majesty had expelled me, I would have believed that it was the He family who had falsely conveyed the emperor's order, and that all of you eunuchs and palace maids in front of the emperor were helping He family lie. When the matter is brought to justice, no one can escape responsibility!"

The imperial guards and palace maids looked at each other in confusion.

Most people didn't know that He Shuangying was in the hall, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not.

No one dared to stop Queen Yan, but all the palace maids and eunuchs who served her were stopped outside the palace.

Fei Wan followed Empress Yan into the palace. Similarly, no one dared to stop her. Although she didn't personally engage in a sword fight, her expression of solemnity and imposing aura were even more frightening than Empress Yan's.

Two concubines entered the hall.

A clever young eunuch quickly scurried off to report to Eunuch Cao Bin. Cao Bin happened to be off duty tonight, and the palace attendants cried out in misfortune. If Eunuch Cao were still here, there wouldn't have been such a scene. Everyone was held responsible.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress and Consort Zhao disobeyed your orders and forced their way into the palace. We servants were unable to stop them! It's not that we were not diligent enough!"

Cui Liang was tied up and kneeling over there, but he still didn't keep quiet. His shouting pierced the night. Even if the emperor was sleeping like a dead pig, he would probably be woken up by his shouting.

But when he howled, Queen Yan and Fei Wan, who had walked into the hall, felt it was too noisy, but they did not hear any response from the emperor inside.

The lights in the outer hall are dim.

The two of them walked quickly across and came to the middle hall. The light was still dim, with only a shaded lamp burning in the corner.

Fei Wan and Queen Yan looked at each other, and could barely see each other's faces.

They all saw solemnity on each other's faces.

"Your Majesty? I have an urgent matter to discuss with you!" Queen Yan raised her voice.

The door of the inner hall was closed, and it was quiet inside, with no one responding.

The eunuch who had just reported was forced in by the head guard to follow. The head guard knew He Shuangying was inside and was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see, so he didn't dare to come in, so he forced the eunuch in. He was a man, after all, and he was different from the eunuchs.

The eunuch entered the palace and hurriedly followed the concubines, whispering, "My two ladies, His Majesty is sleeping peacefully in there and doesn't want to be disturbed. Please..."

"Shut up!"

Fei Wan turned around and shouted.

The eunuch was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

"Get out!" Fei Wan ordered again.

The eunuch did not leave. He moved his lips as if he was about to speak again. Fei Wan put her index finger to her lips and signaled him to be silent with a stern look.

The eunuch froze in place.

Fei Wan didn't have time to explain to him.

There was not even time to explain to Queen Yan.

"Sister, back off!"

Fei Wan stepped past Queen Yan and kicked open the door of the inner hall.

"He Shuangying, come out here!"

She shouted loudly on purpose.

In fact, all the hairs on my body stood up in alert.

There is someone in the hall!

And it wasn't He Shuangying or the emperor's movement.

She had just clearly heard the sound of very rhythmic and light footsteps. It was clearly someone with kung fu skills walking in a low voice.

Even if the emperor was having affairs with other women, he wouldn't be so cowardly as to sneak around his own bedroom. He Shuangying didn't have that kind of skill, so who was this person?!

While cursing He Shuangying, Fei Wan pretended to walk towards the dragon bed, acting like she was furious and wanted to catch someone cheating.

But at the moment the curtain was opened, he turned and bent down, and flew out diagonally like a willow.

Barely avoided a ray of cold light!

Before she could even move, she raised her foot and kicked directly at the opponent's wrist, trying to kick the opponent's weapon away.

But the opponent reacted quickly, missed the attack, and withdrew.

Run straight out the door.

Fei Wan couldn't catch up in time, so she picked up the vase on the high table next to her and threw it out.

Whoosh!

Hit the opponent's back the moment he runs out of the door.

Boom! The other person stumbled.

Fell to the ground.

Turn over the door curtain.

Queen Yan just happened to walk out the door and bumped into the other person.
