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

Fei Wan pretended not to notice the emperor's suspicion.

She nodded very seriously: "Yes, I really hope that she can get more favors and live a better life. Even if it is..."

She paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly yet firmly, "Even if Your Majesty favors her more than me, I am willing to do so."

This is not just an ordinary intention to form cliques.

People who form cliques and factions may only promote others to strengthen themselves, but they will not allow others to surpass themselves.

Xiao Yu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because Sister Zhishu has a harder time than I do."

"She was also beaten in Yanyun Palace?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the chief eunuch in Yanyun Palace has some shameful deeds behind the scenes. Before Sister Zhishu met the concubine, he almost targeted her.

Fortunately, when she was seeking medical treatment overnight that day, she happened to receive the imperial golden umbrella given by me, which made the other party a little more cautious and did not attack immediately. If Your Majesty had not favored her, I would have thought of finding a way to transfer her to your side as a maid."

The reason Fei Wan whispered made Xiao Yulong furious.

He never expected it to be this reason.

He immediately let go of Fei Wan, stood up, called Cao Bin, and sent people to investigate the dirty deeds of the chief eunuch of Yanyun Palace.

Seeing that the emperor's face looked unhappy, Cao Bin quickly agreed.

Fei Wan said, "Your Majesty, this matter should not be publicized. Otherwise, the reputations of the maids in Yanyun Palace and even those deposed concubines will be damaged."

"Cao Bin, secret investigation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Bin retreated.

Xiao Yu asked Fei Wan coldly: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Fei Wan was surprised by the emperor's anger.

She quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, those palace maids who were previously victimized are either dead or insane, and are no longer with us. There's no evidence to support this, so how dare Sister Zhishu tell anyone about it?"

Fortunately, thanks to the Bodhisattva's blessing, on the night the witchcraft incident occurred, I and Zhishu were praying together, and she whispered a wish, which I overheard. After careful questioning, she was forced to reveal a few words. Otherwise, she would not have dared to even ask me for help.

The girl's frightened look made Xiao Yu sigh secretly.

"Get up."

He helped Fei Wan up and held her in his arms again.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hide it..."

"I understand."

Xiao Yu didn't let Fei Wan continue explaining.

He patted her on the back.

Fei Wan hugged the emperor, snuggled in his arms, and enjoyed the gentle comfort.

She felt that the emperor was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about other things.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

She asked softly.

But the emperor said nothing.

He held her tenderly for a while, then stood up and left.

Fei Wan sent the emperor away. While changing out of his wrinkled clothes and fixing his messed up hair and makeup, she wondered why he cared so much about the secrets of Yanyun Palace...

Is it because Zhishu became a palace concubine, and out of dignity as a man, he cannot tolerate his woman being coveted by others, and by a eunuch at that?

That night, Zhishu came to Guanlan Courtyard for the first time after receiving the emperor's favor.

When she entered the room and saw Xiaohui was the only one there, she lifted her skirt and knelt down in front of Feiwan.

"Sister, your kindness is great. Zhishu will never forget it."

Fei Wan helped her up, but she insisted on kowtow three times before she got up.

"Sister, you have been very kind to me, firstly by giving me support and secondly by getting rid of that old thing. These two things are actually one and the same, saving me from danger and giving me a new life. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, Zhishu will do it without hesitation!"

The reason why she was eager to leave Yanyun Palace was because of that old eunuch.

If she said it herself, not only would the emperor doubt her chastity, but the revenge would also be ineffective.

Only Fei Wan could put that old man to death.

"Has that guy been sentenced to death?" Fei Wan asked.

"Yes, sister. Eunuch Cao started a thorough investigation this afternoon and found out everything before sunset. He has already had the old beast beaten to death."

The reason why Zhishu came to visit Feiwan today after being promoted was that she was waiting for Feiwan to complain.

If two people are too close, the effect of making a surprise complaint may not be so good.

"Sister, you not only saved me, but also comforted those poor palace maids who were tortured to death by that old man. Sister, I don't know how to thank you."

Fei Wan asked: "Do you remember what we said when we first met?"

Zhishu looked at Feiwan and their minds were connected.

"They are all lonely people in the deep palace."

Fei Wan nodded: "Yes, we are all lonely people in the deep palace, so why bother to thank me. There is no need to talk about gratitude between you and me. From now on, we just need to support each other and walk side by side."

"Ok!"

Zhishu's clear eyes were shining and her gaze was firm.

The demeanor between his eyebrows reminded Fei Wan of scenes from his previous life.

At that time, she was doing hard labor in Xinzheku. On the palace road, a group of people suddenly met Zhishu, who had become the mistress of a palace.

Everyone quickly dodged and knelt to make way for Empress Sakura.

Zhishu sat on a staff, dressed in brilliant clothes and with an outstanding demeanor, and walked past surrounded by a group of palace maids.

When passing by the people from Xinzheku, they suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing?"

The maid leading the work quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we are cleaning the palace walls."

They needed to clean all the tall and long walls in the palace within five days to prepare for the upcoming festival.

Zhishu glanced at a wooden barrel beside them, which was half filled with cold black flour buns. "Is this what you're eating?"

"Yes, this is the servants' lunch. Eat it after you finish cleaning this wall."

Zhishu then ordered the palace servants around her, "Take a hundred coins to the kitchen and give them some soup and some vegetables so they can eat better and work faster."

After saying this, he got up and left.

Nor did he accept their thanks.

So at noon that day, Fei Wan actually ate several pieces of braised pork and drank some pork and bone soup.

Even when he was injured and on the verge of death, he was still savoring the deliciousness of that meal.

"Come to my place tomorrow at noon and I'll treat you to a meal of braised pork."

Fei Wan invited Zhishu with a smile.

I received his kindness in my previous life and I am repaying him in this life.

After depriving her of the opportunity to be favored by the Buddha, he gave her another chance to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, and then helped her deal with the old eunuch.

Fei Wan hopes that when she reaches a high position, Zhishu can be with her.

Support each other and move forward hand in hand.

It’s because there are not many people in the palace who have good intentions and are willing to take action.

Cherish every one you have.

"Sister, if I invite you to dinner, I will definitely come."

Although Zhishu didn't understand, with Feiwan's current favor, she could have any delicacies she wanted, but why did she want to eat braised pork.

But she agreed immediately.

It doesn’t matter what she eats, as long as she eats with Feiwan, she is willing to do so.

"It's so easy for me to find you. It turns out you are here!"

Xiao Linzi in front of the emperor went to look for Zhishu and found Guanlan Courtyard.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Wei Cainu, a woman of great talent and beauty, has served the Emperor with distinction and merit, and is hereby granted the title 'Ying'. She will accompany the Emperor tonight in Chenqian Palace—"
