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

No wonder Queen Yan got angry.

Although a fire is no small matter.

However, the enthronement ceremony has not been completed until the emperor has been paid an audience.

They were suddenly interrupted by an unexpected incident, and the fire broke out in Fei Wan's own Chunxi Palace, which was so unlucky.

Nothing serious has happened. Why don't we report it later to ensure the ceremony is completed intactly?

But the palace maid in front of the emperor seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. She looked at Fei Wan, her lips moving but she didn't say anything else.

Cao Bin frowned: "What's going on? Did you take the wrong medicine and your mouth is stiff? Why are you moving your lips around so wildly?"

He was in charge of all the palace ladies in front of the emperor.

What's going on at this moment? He has nothing to say. It's his fault for being in charge.

He had to come out and give him a few words of reprimand.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid knelt down, looked at the door curtain of the bedroom, and still did not dare to speak.

Cao Bin was so angry that he kicked her: "What are you doing! Just say what you want to say!"

Fei Wan stood aside, raising her lips slightly.

"Don't be angry, Empress, and don't be anxious, Eunuch Cao. Look, he hasn't dared to look in my direction since he entered the room. He probably doesn't want me to hear what he wants to say."

The emperor's voice echoed from the inner hall.

"Everyone come in."

The low, humoured voice was filled with sleepiness, suggesting that the emperor was not fully awake yet.

Several people hurried in and paid their respects.

The palace maid knelt from the outer hall to the bedroom, and finally, under the emperor's majestic gaze, kowtowed and told the truth.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the person who came to Chunxi Palace to report this wasn't the Imperial Consort, but rather one of the other ladies. They said... they said... that there was a fire in the back hall of Chunxi Palace. Everyone saw the thick smoke and went to put it out, but... they found... in the closet between the partitions in the back hall..."

Cao Bin scolded: "What did you find? Tell me!"

"We found a dragon robe!" The palace servant kowtowed, terrified, but finally finished speaking. "And it's a dragon robe embroidered with a golden phoenix! Even though a corner was burned, the lining inside the corner of the robe is embroidered with the Imperial Noble Consort's birthday... It's, it's very strange..."

Queen Yan's eyes were wide open, her face full of shock.

The emperor sat up directly from the pillow.

Cao Bin kicked the palace maid away and whispered to him to get out, and then asked the palace maid who came from Chunxi Palace to report the news to come in and answer.

Fei Wan looked normal.

Not only was he not surprised or afraid, he even smiled slightly.

"No wonder he didn't dare look at me or bow to me after entering the palace. Anyone who heard this would think I was doomed."

Secretly keeping the dragon robe and embroidering one's birthday on it is something that powerful officials in the past did, and it is recorded in history books.

Naturally, the powerful official did not have a good end.

Empress Yan's expression froze as she declared decisively, "Your Majesty, I do not believe the Imperial Noble Consort would secretly hoard the dragon robe and plot treason. This must be a frame-up. This villain's mischief cannot delay the Imperial Noble Consort's enthronement ceremony. She has yet to kowtow to Your Majesty. Please allow her to kowtow first before discussing anything else!"

As he spoke, he went to help the emperor sit up straight, accept Fei Wan's kneeling worship, and complete the enthronement ceremony smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had just woken up violently and was feeling dizzy, chest tightness and nausea, and could not sit up straight at this time.

Moreover, even if he could sit up straight, he would have to ask questions first.

So he pushed Queen Yan's hand away, frowned and asked Cao Bin to come and serve him.

Queen Yan's face darkened slightly.

When the emperor lowered his head, he glared at him fiercely.

Cao Bin saw it and pretended not to see it.

The palace maids from Chunxi Palace came in.

He knelt down and reported the same thing.

"What do you say?" the emperor asked Fei Wan in a deep voice.

Fei Wanfu said, "Like Your Majesty, I am shocked and confused. I know nothing about this. However, I do remember one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I remember when I was still of low rank and living in Guanlan Courtyard, I was persecuted. Your Majesty chose to protect me unconditionally and even said in public that if anyone harmed me again, you would promote me."

Fei Wan raised her eyes and looked deeply into the emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you remember?"

Do you remember?

The emperor's heart was slightly shaken.

Indeed, I don’t quite remember…

This reminder.

I can still remember some of it.

I seem to have actually said such words.

Every time you harm her, you will be promoted.

At the beginning, it seemed that I did it?

What now?

Fei Wan asked again: "I am already the Imperial Noble Consort, and there is no further rank to be promoted. I only ask for Your Majesty's grace to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear my name. I have always advised Your Majesty to forgive those sinners, but this time, I feel that the sinners who secretly harmed others must be severely punished - this is not for my sake, but for your dignity, for the dignity of the royal family, and for the integrity of the Daliang harem. No matter who dares to use a fake dragon robe to frame your Imperial Noble Consort when you are conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort, this is a serious provocation to you and Daliang! My personal honor and disgrace are not important, but my Daliang harem cannot continue in such chaos!"

Empress Yan echoed loudly, "The Imperial Noble Consort is absolutely right! Your Majesty, I share the Imperial Noble Consort's sentiments. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. All those implicated will be beaten to death without mercy!"

Cao Bin had already knelt on the ground with the palace maids in the corners of the hall, bowing their heads and remaining silent.

The eunuch from Chunxi Palace who came to report the news trembled and cowered.

The emperor sat on the bed, took a deep breath, and ordered in a deep voice: "Cao Bin, call Zhang Lin."

"Yes."

Cao Bin hurried out to pass on the message.

To investigate the affairs of the inner palace, he called the commander of the Tiger Guards. Your Majesty is really serious about this.

Fei Wan glanced at the Chunxi Palace eunuch and smiled, "You're Madam Fei's man, right? Madam Fei is usually gentle and silent, but when things go wrong, she's always willing to take the lead and take responsibility. She sent you to report to the emperor, which is really impressive."

Madam Fei, like Concubine Xin, was one of the low-ranking concubines who moved into Chunxi Palace at the same time as He Shuangying.

Although several of them lived with Fei Wan, they had low status and nothing outstanding, so their presence was very weak on a daily basis.

Before Xin Xuanshi stood out because of Pan'er's dressing, she was as invisible as a cloak in the palace.

And Madam Fei is even more transparent than her.

Chunxi Palace caught fire and the dragon robe appeared, but Madam Fei sent someone to report the matter "truthfully" before the emperor.

Empress Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think we should investigate this Lady Fei thoroughly!"

Zhang Lin, commander of the Tiger Guards, arrived quickly.

The emperor ordered him to thoroughly investigate Chunxi Palace.

No matter if it is Madam Fei or anyone else, do not let them go and interrogate them thoroughly.

"Your Majesty, since I am here, I will be the first to be interrogated by Commander Zhang." Fei Wan said with a smile.

The emperor looked at her.

There was a pause.

He said, "There is no need for you to do this, Zhaoqing. I trust you."

Zhao Qing...

Queen Yan's eyelids twitched.

After being canonized as Imperial Noble Consort, according to the custom of Daliang dynasties, the previous titles were no longer mentioned and she was uniformly called Imperial Noble Consort.

Because Daliang has always only appointed one imperial concubine in each dynasty, there is no need to distinguish them by titles.

But the emperor changed back to his previous title.

Is it because you are used to it and have forgotten it for a moment?

still?

Empress Yan warned: "Commander Zhang, you must investigate carefully. Don't miss a single spot, but don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

No matter what the emperor thinks, once we find out the truth, Fei Wan will be cleared of all charges!
