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

Inside the palace, Concubine De stared at Fei Wan in astonishment.

I realized it later and then understood it.

It was as if I understood everything.

"Yes! If the Imperial Noble Consort's appearance is completely ruined... Pah! Pah! Pah! The bad ones don't work, but the good ones do! Look at my mouth! Anyway, if the Imperial Noble Consort is temporarily unable to serve the Emperor, this palace..."

Defei didn't finish the rest of her words, but everyone understood.

Although Fei Wan stayed in the Palace Administration Office for two days after her promotion, she was even more glorious than before when she came out. She even went to the Golden Throne Hall to accept the congratulations and kneeling homage of the ministers. Not even the queen received such treatment.

It threatens the position of the Empress!

Concubine Chen took a deep breath, covered her mouth, and dared not say a word, knowing that she, a small shrimp, had no right to participate in this topic.

However, Yu Sujin caught a glimpse of a green palace skirt through the gap in the door curtain.

"Who's outside the door?"

Before she asked, she quickly walked to the door and pulled open the curtain.

Linglong appeared in front of them with a calm expression.

As if she had just arrived and knew nothing, she bowed respectfully: "Empress Min. I am here on the orders of the Empress to inquire about what happened so that the truth can be ascertained as soon as possible."

Fei Wan smiled in the room: "Come in."

Yu Sujin stepped aside to make way, and promptly put away her vigilance and suspicion.

Concubine De and Concubine Chen were not as quick to react as she was, especially Concubine De, whose shock was clearly visible on her face, as she had no time to hide it.

But Linglong pretended not to see it, walked up to them, saluted them, and started asking questions as usual.

Xiangyi answered on Feiwan's behalf in a concise and clear manner.

Linglong asked and then left.

As the curtain fell, Concubine De stroked her chest and sighed, "She's so steady! She clearly heard us talking, but she didn't show a word."

"After all, she is the Empress's maid-in-waiting and a first-class servant from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion." Fei Wan said.

Yu Sujin lifted the door curtain and saw Linglong had really gone to the front before she spoke with confidence, "Could it be that she is really the Queen?"

Her eldest sister is her lifeline and support. She knows that she cannot fight alone in the harem, so she will never allow her eldest sister to make any mistakes.

If the current queen dares to attack her elder sister, she doesn't mind taking some secret measures to retaliate.

Fei Wan saw her stern expression and cold eyes, and thought to herself that this concubine sister had finally grown up through the ups and downs of life, and was no longer as silly as when she first entered the palace.

But now is not the time to draw the sword.

"Please keep it for a while, Susu. Go and help me check if the medicine is ready."

……

On New Year's Eve, all the concubines in the palace stayed up together in Xianyue Palace to celebrate the New Year.

People who don't know the details will just think that the new queen and imperial concubine want to have fun together with all the concubines.

But I didn't know that they were investigating a poisoning case.

Queen Yan was completely furious and would not allow the palace banquet she had painstakingly organized to be disrupted. She was determined to get to the bottom of it and bring the culprit to justice.

Some of the concubines on the throne couldn't bear it any longer and didn't even dare to yawn, forcing themselves to keep their eyelids open.

By the second half of the night, everyone was so sleepy that they secretly cursed the person who poisoned the imperial concubine.

Everyone really felt a sense of shared hatred and wanted to know who did it.

After several rounds of questioning, there is still no clue about the matter.

While helping Queen Yan change her clothes, Linglong quietly informed Feiwan and Concubine De about their conversation.

Empress Yan glared at first, "How could it be me? She is so clever, but this time..."

But suddenly stopped.

So clever...

Sister Feiwan is often more clever than her in dealing with things.

But this time...

"Where is Madam Liao now?"

For some reason, Queen Yan suddenly felt irritated and cold sweat covered her palms.

For no reason, my heart beat faster.

"Your Majesty, the nanny has been in Fengming Palace, right? Didn't you ask her to rest early tonight? She's old and doesn't need to stay up late..."

Empress Yan's brows were sharp. "Send her here, quickly! I want to see her now!"

Linglong didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly told someone to call Madam Liao.

Empress Yan warned: "Be quiet and don't startle anyone!"

Nanny Liao arrived soon.

Waiting in the courtyard of Xianyue Palace, her hair was combed neatly and smoothly, and her clothes were neatly dressed.

Queen Yan carried someone on her back and came to the cross courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room and saw her like this, his expression became even colder.

She asked directly, "Mammy, was it you who caused the poisoning of the Imperial Concubine's face?"

After paying her respects, Madam Liao did not bow her head slightly to answer as she did in the past, but instead looked up and looked directly at Empress Yan.

The two looked at each other.

The corners of Queen Yan's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were raised, and her eyes were filled with a clear and frosty look.

Madam Liao was silent for a moment.

Lowered his eyes.

You know your child best when you have raised him since he was young.

This look showed that she had already guessed who did it.

Compared to waiting until the investigation is thorough before giving an awkward reply, and telling the truth to maintain each other's dignity, the latter will certainly have less impact on the relationship between the two parties.

"Your Highness, I believe you understand. I am acting on orders, but I am also acting voluntarily. I have watched you grow up, and if I may be presumptuous, I have always treated you like my own daughter. Therefore, I cannot bear to see you suffer in the future. You are still young, and there are many things you don't understand. I cannot wait until you regret something before taking action, as it will be too late then. Moreover, I cannot bear to see you regret and cry. Whether you blame me or punish me now, I am willing to accept it. One day in the future, you will understand my feelings."

Queen Yan's chest heaved.

"Whose orders are you following, the Duke's or the old lady's?!"

Madam Liao paused and asked, "Is this important?"

"important!"

Queen Yan would rather it was the Duke of Zhenguo who ordered Madam Liao to do this, rather than the old lady.

She was already disappointed with her father, the Duke of Zhenguo, and didn't want her grandmother to become someone who only considered interests and not her feelings.

When Empress Yan heard Madam Liao say that it was the order of the Duke of Zhenguo, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, very good. Madam, please go back. This palace cannot accommodate you any longer."

Madam Liao bowed and said, "Please allow me to accompany you, Your Majesty. I will help you eliminate the trouble before you leave."

"What trouble do you need to eliminate, Imperial Noble Consort?" Empress Yan laughed angrily, "If you don't leave now, the Imperial Noble Consort will eliminate you!"
