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

Concubine Hui looked up in surprise, a look of confusion on her face.

"She actually dared to secretly hide the dragon robe in Chunxi Palace. Shouldn't I give her a beating? She's too bold! I also heard that she took advantage of your illness and weakness to deceive you and get her hands on the memorials. Oh my God, is this true? If it is true, I will give her a beating! No, twice!"

The emperor looked displeased and stared at Concubine Hui sharply: "Where did you hear that she reviewed the memorials? Did the Empress tell you?"

Concubine Hui showed a little bit of guilt.

The sound was slightly quieter.

"...I know I was wrong. It was wrong to secretly inquire about the details of a secret case that had not yet been made public. I am willing to accept the punishment. However, no matter how wrong I am, it is not as serious as Yu's fault, right? I personally believe that I still have the right to beat her..."

"presumptuous."

The emperor frowned and said sternly, "Who gave you the qualifications? Yu Shi has not yet been truly punished, and her position is higher than yours!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"What's the matter? You are bullying your superiors and you still dare to act so confidently?"

"Your Majesty, Yu Shi..."

"Who allowed you to call her 'Yu'?"

"You call me that, so I..."

"Do you think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me, Concubine Hui, General Li?"

The emperor's words were profound, and Concubine Hui quickly lifted her skirt and knelt down.

"I dare not, I was wrong!"

The emperor sat upright on the embroidered cushion, looking down at Concubine Hui with an unpleasant expression.

But his gaze passed through Concubine Hui, a little vague.

He was angry, but it seemed that he was not entirely angry at Concubine Hui.

Even he himself was a little confused.

What kind of mood is this?

He could call Fei Wan "Yu", but he would get angry when he heard others call her that.

He could have sent her to the Palace Administration Office, but when he heard that Concubine Hui dared to go in and beat her, he was furious.

Even if she wrote that kind of poem, he wanted to confront her in person instead of asking his subordinates to question her.

"Li Chaoying, I think you've been too lenient with me and have lost your mind. Go back and reflect on your actions. Never leave your home again without my permission!"

The emperor, who couldn't understand his own emotions, took out his anger on Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui kowtowed.

He apologized tremblingly and thanked with fear and trepidation.

He crouched down and backed away all the way to the door before turning around and leaving the hall in a humbly manner.

As she left Chen Qian Palace, she let out a sigh, straightened her back, and all her fear and timidity disappeared.

Well done, my little Wanwan. Judging from the look on His Majesty’s face, you really helped him review the memorials!

As expected, she is the sister that I, Li Chaoying, like. She is so competitive!

I've helped you up to this point, and you'll have to work hard on your own from now on.

Concubine Hui walked back to Chong'a Palace in the cold wind, feeling refreshed and invigorated, and closed the door to "reflect on herself." It just so happened that she didn't like socializing, and since her injuries had healed and she was about to leave the palace to lead the troops, there was an endless stream of concubines coming to her house to try to get close to her.

Now that she has been punished, she can reflect on her actions behind closed doors so that no one will bother her.

Concubine Hui was happy, but the emperor was still depressed.

"Cao Bin, help me lie down."

He felt dizzy again.

I first heard Fei Wan's sleepless nights, her tears fainting from worry; I saw her writing about Zhu Chengbi's shock and anger; I was furious when I heard that Concubine Hui had beaten her; I was bothered by the fake dragon robe; I was fed up with the censors' petitions; I was annoyed by the constant spies in the harem; I was restless and restless from not being able to eat or sleep; I was weak from my injuries...

All these feelings intertwined together, making his thoughts confused and his chest stuffy.

"Your Majesty, please go slower, slower..."

Cao Bin carefully helped him lie down on the dragon bed, and the emperor waved his hand to let him leave.

But when Cao Bin was about to leave the inner hall, he suddenly spoke up and gave him some instructions.

"Send someone to the Palace Administration Office to see if Concubine Hui's attack was severe enough."

"Yes, I will go personally. If Empress Zhao is in a bad condition, please call the imperial physician immediately."

After Cao Bin had tested the situation and didn't hear the emperor say no, he knew the limits.

He asked two reliable disciples to guard the inner hall, and he hurried to the Palace Administration Office.

Fei Wan was lying on the bed in the cell, resting with his eyes closed.

There was originally no bed in this cell, but it came into being when Fei Wan came.

The thick cushions, the soft quilt, and the brand new quilt that smelled of sunshine allowed Fei Wan to sleep soundly last night.

As for crying all night and fainting twice?

It was just that the guard came to check, so she got up and pretended to get up, and then went back to bed and continued sleeping after the guard left.

Anyway, the guards received instructions from Fengming Palace, private hints from Eunuch Cao, and the thick red envelope given by Xiangyi. They would report whatever Feiwan did, whether they opened their eyes or closed them.

Xiangyi had gotten up early and asked for the imperial physician, so they did. When the physician arrived and said Empress Zhao was in poor condition, they took even more intensive care of her and diligently reported the situation to the emperor "truthfully" to avoid being held responsible.

Be good to everyone, don't offend anyone. Just do a good job on the surface, take the real money, and everyone will be happy.

Cao Bin came to visit the prison in person. Everyone in the cell, from the steward nanny to the guards, understood that Empress Zhao would probably be released from prison soon.

So they came forward one after another to describe how weak Empress Zhao was and how she was crying.

"Eunuch Cao, please think of a solution quickly. If the Queen stays here any longer, something might go wrong. We don't know what to do!"

Cao Bin took one look at the almost luxurious furnishings in the cell and pretended not to see them.

He nodded calmly.

"You are absolutely right. Empress Zhao has suffered greatly here. The Tiger Guards have concluded their investigation. She was wrongly accused. You don't need to interrogate her further. Just take good care of her."

"Yes, yes, with your words, we are relieved. Please also take the trouble to take Empress Zhao out as soon as possible. Don't let her suffer here. It's heartbreaking to see her."

Cao Bin's face turned serious: "This is His Majesty's business, don't worry about it, just do your job well."

After sending everyone away, Cao Bin went into the cell alone to see Fei Wan.

Fei Wan heard their conversation.

The fact that Cao Bin, this shrewd man, dared to reveal the results of the interrogation to everyone meant that the emperor was almost ready and she would be released from the cell soon.

But there is a trick to getting out of this cell.

"Eunuch Cao, why did you come in person? I am a criminal and do not deserve your visit."

Fei Wan's face was flushed from sleeping, and she sat up very weakly with the help of her maid.

Cao Bin pretended not to see her energetic look and stepped forward to salute.

"Your Highness, please don't address me like that. It's too much for me! How can you be so haggard? What can I do?... Concubine Hui said she came here to take action. Are you okay?"

"It's alright. Empress Huifei was acting in a public-spirited way, and I deserved the beating."

Fei Wan lowered her head and played the villain, while Xiang Yi played the hero beside her.

"Eunuch Cao, Concubine Hui went too far. She hit us so hard that she lay on the bed for a long time, unable to move. She just recovered her breath. Look at her injuries!"

Xiangyi forcibly took Feiwan's hand out of her sleeve.

Deep red fingerprints on the wrist.

"This is because Concubine Hui gripped her too hard. Our Concubine still has many wounds on her body!"

Cao Bin was startled.

This……

Is this really happening?!

He didn't know.

It looked scary, but it didn't hurt at all.

The red marks were caused by Fei Wan pressing and kneading the acupoints herself.

This is nothing. The "wounds" on his body look even more terrifying.

But it’s not something Cao Bin can see.
