"Noble Consort Zhao has arrived—"

Just as Gu Shuer rushed forward and pointed at the two maids, La Jiao and Jiao Shi, to question them, a notification came.

Feiwan arrived.

Queen Yan, Gu Shuer and others all looked towards the door.

In the bright sunlight, Fei Wan, dressed in a crimson dress embroidered with golden phoenixes, was dazzling and captivating. Walking against the light, she was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.

Not to mention the emperor, even Gu Shuer, who was in a state of panic, was attracted and distracted for a moment.

"Wanwan, you're here just in time."

The emperor had a gloomy face, but he spoke to Fei Wan in a slower tone.

It can be seen that beauty is important.

Before Fei Wan arrived, she bowed slightly and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, upon hearing what happened here, I quickly ordered an investigation. I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with Concubine Ling. Please send her and everyone around her to the Palace Administration Office for a thorough investigation. I beg Your Majesty not to kill those palace servants yet, so that we can more easily track down the clues."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Shuer screamed.

"Yu Feiwan, what nonsense are you talking about! How could there be anything wrong with me..."

She pounced towards Fei Wan.

Grab Fei Wan.

Fei Wan staggered when she pulled her, and he quickly helped her stand steadily, and called for someone to hold her back.

"Princess Ling, please don't make a fuss. His Majesty will naturally have the truth of what is right and wrong investigated."

Fei Wan's collar was pulled open, so she quickly turned around and fastened her collar facing the wall.

The emperor asked, "Wanwan, are you serious?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I dare not lie. The matter of the royal heir is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated." Fei Wan answered calmly.

She glanced at the other concubines and said, "This matter should not be publicized. I ask all the sisters present to keep their mouths shut and control their palace servants. If word gets out of the palace before the truth is revealed, I will not let you off lightly."

Her tone was gentle, yet full of majesty.

The concubines present immediately said that they would not go out and talk nonsense.

The emperor pondered for a moment.

He decisively said, "Come here, send Ling Fei to the Palace Administration Office for a thorough investigation!"

"Xiao Yu! Is this the friendship you always claimed you had for me? How ridiculous! Yu Feiwan, you're such a pretentious person. You usually pretend to be so nice to me, but at the critical moment, you kick me when I'm down and help the villain to plot against me... Ah, no, you're not in cahoots with Concubine Fan, are you?!"

She screamed in sudden realization.

However, he was dragged out of the palace by the people in front of the emperor.

The palace maids and eunuchs who reported her were also taken away.

The shouting gradually faded away, and the hall became quiet.

"Your Majesty, I reported Concubine Ling out of public interest, but it was not because of the instruction of Imperial Noble Concubine Zhao. I am not familiar with Imperial Noble Concubine Zhao at all. If you look carefully, you will find out that Concubine Ling is really restless." Concubine Fan explained afterwards, her eyes shining.

Fei Wan smiled at her and said, "I really didn't understand you before. I didn't expect you to be so brave. After this matter is over, come and visit me more often."

Concubine Fan was delighted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He secretly thought that Imperial Noble Consort Zhao might want to take the opportunity to kill Imperial Noble Consort Ling!

"Your Majesty, it's a mess here. Why don't you go to my Chunxi Palace and sit down?" Feiwan stepped forward and took the emperor's arm.

The fragrance on her body was refreshing, peaceful and elegant, which eased the emperor's heavy mood a little.

But the matter of the royal heir weighed heavily on his mind, and he had no mood to relax.

So he refused.

"Return to Chenqian Palace!"

He left with a puff of his sleeves.

Fei Wan chased after him: "Your Majesty——"

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Queen Yan and others, she followed the emperor's dragon chariot.

Queen Yan frowned slightly.

Although he was puzzled, he knew Feiwan must have made some arrangements, so he lectured the concubines in a deep voice for a while and then let everyone go.

Concubine Fan stepped forward and smiled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although I have reported this matter, I will not spread it outside. I know my limits. However, if something is found wrong with the child in Concubine Ling's belly, I am afraid you will also be implicated. I advise you to make Concubine Ling confess her guilt as soon as possible. This is what you should do as the Queen."

There was a strong sense of smugness on her face.

Queen Yan smiled and said softly, "Linglong, go slap her mouth."

"Yes, ma'am."

Linglong led people up and directly held down Concubine Fan, and whipped her ten times.

Empress Yan stopped her, saying, "No need to beat her any more. This is enough. A small punishment serves as a warning. As long as Concubine Fan remembers the rules of hierarchy in the future, that will be enough."

Linglong brought her people back to Queen Yan, her expression calm and elegant.

It was as if it wasn't her who had rolled up her sleeves and hit someone with such great force just now.

Concubine Fan was slapped twice by Gu Shuer. There were already red marks on her face, and now they were even more swollen.

She covered her face, feeling ashamed and angry.

His eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Empress, you will regret this sooner or later! You..."

"Linglong, go hit them a few more times."

Queen Yan's gentle command made Concubine Fan shut up immediately.

"I'll take my leave!"

She saluted hastily and ran away.

Queen Yan's smiling voice followed her back.

"There are evil people and ruthless people in this palace, but there is no room for stupid people. Fan, you should take care of yourself."

The other concubines were frightened by Queen Yan's smiling but cold face and quickly took their leave.

Only Concubine Shun was left.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen Concubine Ling committing adultery. Concubine Fan is lying, but I don't know who instructed her to do so. If you have any instructions, I will do my best."

Empress Yan said, "You've already helped a lot today. Go back first. We still have no clue about this matter, so don't act rashly for now."

"Yes."

Concubine Shun took her leave.

Linglong dismissed everyone and asked softly, "You don't trust Concubine Shun?"

The smile on Queen Yan's face disappeared.

"At this time, no one can be trusted!"

Apart from……

Feiwan.

Queen Yan whispered a few instructions to Linglong, and Linglong hurried out to make arrangements.

At this moment in Chenqian Palace, the emperor also said this to Fei Wan -

"At this time, no one can be trusted!"

Except for Wanwan in front of me.

Although it was she who advocated sending Ling Fei to the Palace Administration Department, if anyone was responsible for framing Ling Fei, it would definitely not be Wan Wan.

"Fortunately you came and helped me calm down."

The emperor held Fei Wan's hand and praised her in a low voice.

He was annoyed by the quarrel among several concubines, and he couldn't find out the truth immediately. He almost had the urge to drag out all the quarrelers and beat them with a stick, including the pregnant concubine Ling.

Fei Wan came into the hall like a breeze, and with just a look and a few words, she soothed his irritability.

"I have secretly ordered Zhang Lin to investigate. I want to find out who is behind this!"

Fei Wan held the emperor's hand and smiled gently.

"Your Majesty is as discerning as a mirror and quickly noticed the strangeness of this matter. It doesn't matter whether I went or not. The person behind this is plotting something big. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly and don't let him off easily."

"nature!"

The emperor and Fei Wan looked at each other, and for a moment, they felt a sense of telepathy.

Fei Wan was sending Ling Fei to Gong Zhengsi in Fengming Palace. He received her suggestive look in time and then acquiesced to her actions.

Strictly investigating and punishing Ling Fei is just a cover. The real goal is to catch the person behind the scenes!

"Wanwan, I really always need you."

The emperor sighed.

Fei Wan shook her head: "Your Majesty, it is because of the deep affection between you and Sister Shu'er that you were able to see through the mystery in time. What I did was really insignificant."
