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

"What's the point of dying together? You'd better be my hostage!"

Fei Wan stopped the knife that was about to kill the hostage and smiled comfortably.

Then he shouted loudly to the people around him.

"The Li family army is here! Guards, brace yourselves! Don't embarrass yourself! You are the elite soldiers guarding the imperial city. Show off your power and don't let others look down on you!"

As she shouted, with the support of Concubine Hui, she kicked over a rebel who had just rushed over, then picked up a steel knife that someone had dropped on the ground with her toes and stabbed it into the rebel's chest.

The flags of the Li family army were approaching. The fact that a mere woman like the Imperial Concubine could kill people greatly encouraged the surrounding imperial guards.

The original 30% combat effectiveness has now increased to 50% to 60%.

The main reason was that the soldiers brought by Concubine Hui were too fierce. Although most of them were women, with their scarves on their heads, they were even more sturdy than the men. They advanced and retreated in groups of three, and charged into the enemy army like a knife cutting into tofu, killing the enemy without any chance of fighting back.

The imperial guards then shouted loudly and began to compete with Li's army in killing the enemies.

The situation turned around miraculously.

Fei Wan continued to coerce the hostages and followed the flood of Li's army into the camp of the officials.

There's blood all over the place.

Many people died.

In addition to the casualties among the soldiers guarding the area, some of the princes and officials also died. The remaining people were mainly gathered in two groups, protected by the exhausted soldiers, and were in a precarious situation.

Fei Wan and Hui Fei brought people over and immediately became saviors. Soon, they rescued both groups of people.

The originally aggressive rebels were killed and scattered.

Concubine Hui ordered her men to shout in unison, saying that the rebel general had been captured, and to persuade the remaining rebels to lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise they would die.

The fighting tonight wasn't confined to this one spot; fighting was taking place in three directions outside the camp. But as the shouting started here, it was followed by shouts from other places, and the situation gradually became one-sided.

The rebels' morale weakened, and more and more of them surrendered their weapons or broke out and fled into the wilderness and forests.

The emperor suddenly appeared with a large group of troops, ready to send down his troops from the sky to control the situation, but he unexpectedly discovered that the situation had already been controlled.

Fei Wan became the backbone of the remaining imperial guards. Together with the brave soldiers led by Concubine Hui and several other generals, there were not many casualties in the camp. Most of the bodies lying on the ground were those of the rebels.

"Your Majesty's divine power descended from the sky, and the rebels fled in all directions. It was Your Majesty who saved our lives. Long live Your Majesty!!"

Among the officials, there were some whom Fei Wan had bribed a long time ago.

When the dragon flag appeared more than ten feet away, Fei Wan quickly sent someone to inform several people, asking them to flatter the emperor as much as possible as soon as he appeared, and not to hold back.

"I kneel down to thank Your Majesty for saving my life!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Led by a few of them, more officials began to follow suit in praising the emperor. In the night breeze, the sound of the mountains' cheers startled the birds and beasts all over the mountain. The sight of birds startled and taking flight under the starry sky was also described by flatterers as an auspicious sign of the arrival of the dragon's might.

What happens next is a matter of course.

The emperor enjoyed the admiration and gratitude of the people, and ordered all the troops to send people to pursue the fleeing rebels, and also ordered people to quickly clear the camp.

Under the protection of everyone, the emperor returned to the dragon tent with his head held high.

The curtains were opened, the lights were on brightly, the emperor went up to the tent and sat facing south, and all the ministers stood in line in front of the tent and knelt down to pay their respects again.

The three captured rebel leaders were brought to the tent.

After their identities were verified, they were found to be two captains from the Xishan camp and a garrison commander from the Beijing camp.

He was beheaded on the spot for treason.

Two other leaders escaped, and the emperor ordered that they must be captured. If they resisted arrest, they would be killed on the spot.

The hostage that Fei Wan was holding was also brought onto the scene.

"Who is guilty?" the chief of the imperial guards beside the emperor shouted.

The bearded man was tied up, covered in blood, and looked very weak.

He replied, "Wu Ding, the Valiant Cavalry General of the Capital Camp! I did not intend to rebel. My family was controlled by our superior, the Divine Martial General Zhao Mei, and I was forced to join the war. Your Majesty, please understand. I was just trying to find Your Majesty, to protect him and explain the situation, but before I could find Your Majesty, I was stabbed by the Imperial Concubine, leaving me speechless. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am willing to perform meritorious service and capture Zhao Mei for Your Majesty!"

He talked a lot.

Although his voice was weak, his desire to survive was very strong.

He was obviously afraid that he would be beheaded on the spot.

There are several heads rolling on the ground nearby!

The emperor narrowed his eyes. "Are you Wu Ding? Were you forced to rebel by your superiors?"

The bearded man replied, "Indeed, Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and grant me the opportunity to redeem myself from my crime. I will capture the traitor Zhao Mei within twelve hours. If I cannot, I will commit suicide to make amends!"

The emperor smiled faintly.

"So, I presume you know a lot of details about the treason? Come, temporarily detain him and interrogate him thoroughly later!"

The bearded man was taken away.

"Where is Consort Zhao?" The emperor looked at the crowd.

Fei Wan walked out from the crowd, walked steadily to the front of the emperor and saluted, "Your Majesty is here."

She had woken from her dream in a hurry, having only thrown on a robe over her nightgown. The pale blue robe was now stained with blood, and her hair was disheveled, simply tied up with a strip of cloth. She looked sloppily dressed, a stark contrast to her usual meticulously dressed self.

The calmness between his brows was completely different from his usual sickly and gentle expression.

The emperor looked at her with a deeper look.

But it is not infatuation and appreciation.

Wen Sheng said, "Zhao Qing, you have captured the rebel leader. This is a great achievement. I will reward you."

Fei Wan bowed her head and said, "This concubine was lucky. It is all thanks to Your Majesty's grace that the rebels failed. I dare not take credit for it. I only wish Your Majesty peace and health. Long live Your Majesty."

She was dignified and graceful, and her slender figure stood before the courtiers, without appearing inferior.

The emperor waved his hand and let her go.

The next step was to appease the ministers, announce that the rebellion had failed, punish the main general, order people to investigate the details of the rebellion, etc.

Empress Yan came back with the emperor and stood beside him the whole time.

Her face was solemn and serious, without any unnecessary emotions.

After Fei Wan retreated, she went to the concubines to conduct an inventory and comfort them, count the number of dead and injured palace servants, direct the cleanup of the camp, etc.

The most important thing is that Concubine Ling Gu Shuer is safe and sound, everything else is trivial.

After about half an hour, everything was almost cleaned up here. When the concubines went into their tents in groups of three or five to rest, the emperor also dismissed his ministers.

The dragon curtains are closed.

Queen Yan stayed there.

Soon, Fei Wan was also summoned in.

There were not only the emperor and empress in the tent, but also the imperial guards and a bearded rebel general kneeling on the ground.

"Wu Ding, the Valiant Cavalry General of the Capital Camp? Were you coerced by your superior, the Divine Martial General Zhao Mei, into rebelling and leading your army to attack my camp?"

The emperor sat behind a bright yellow curtained desk, his face cold, and repeated what the bearded man had said in public.

Then he sneered.

"Duke Zhenguo, do you think I won't be able to recognize you if you put on a beard and painted your wrinkles?!"
