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

A timid look appeared on Concubine Su's face.

He looked at Concubine Xian with fear and excitement.

The virtuous concubine said with disdain: "What the hell are you thinking about!"

Consort Su was stunned.

Doesn’t the Empress mean to kill Zhao Cairen?

Why don't you kill these terrible people and keep them for the New Year?

The virtuous concubine said, "She just helped me gain the power of assistant. If I want to get rid of her, this is not the time. At present, she still seems very useful. I will squeeze all the benefits out of her and then we will talk about it.

The scarier she is now, the more useful she is to me!"

Concubine Su followed Concubine Xian's line of thought and thought for a while.

He nodded heavily: "Your Majesty is right. You are wise. Let's use her to deal with others first. When they are defeated, we can deal with her. By then, the harem will be under the control of Your Majesty."

It is obvious who this "other person" is.

The virtuous concubine smiled.

"If she knows what's good for her, I will accommodate her. As long as she obeys me, I will let her live comfortably in the palace for the rest of her life."

Consort Su quickly flattered him: "Your Majesty's tolerance for others is unmatched by others."

The virtuous concubine agreed with this.

She has many followers under her command, including Concubine Lan, Concubine Jian, Concubine Su, etc., any of them can speak to her and help her do things at any time.

Because she treated them well.

She helped with money, food, clothing, and status.

But the people under the queen's command were scattered and of varying quality. Every one she promoted was a fool, because the queen could not tolerate smart people.

Women from small families are narrow-minded and unlikely to achieve great things.

How could the great Daliang Empire allow someone who is not worthy of being on the stage to be the queen?

She is the one who is qualified to be the mother of the country.

"Your Majesty, what should we do about Wu Ronghua being taken away?" asked Concubine Su.

The virtuous concubine disdainfully said, "Why bother with that? Whether it's the Yuan family or the Wu family that's causing trouble, it's all fun for me. I'll just watch and forget about it. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is approaching, and hosting a good fiftieth birthday for her is the most important thing. You should also put your minds at ease and think more about how to please her!"

The emperor was able to emerge from the fierce struggle for the throne and ascend to the throne thanks to the support of the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager came from a noble family and had a lukewarm relationship with the Empress, but the virtuous concubine was often taken care of by her.

The virtuous concubine needs to work harder to make herself more important in the Queen Mother's heart. That way, when her struggle with the Queen becomes intense, the Queen Mother will be able to firmly support her.

The virtuous concubine called her maid Linglong and instructed her, "Send someone back to the Duke's Mansion to tell them that the birthday gift for the Queen Mother must be carefully prepared and nothing must go wrong."

"Yes."

"As for the Fu family troupe, it's time to have them come to the palace and prepare themselves. Once they've familiarized themselves with the stage, they can perform a good show for the Empress Dowager. The troupe I recommend is absolutely perfect, and the Empress Dowager will surely like it."

"I will send someone to do it right away."

"Your Majesty, Zhao Cairen and Lady Ying are kneeling outside the palace."

Early in the morning of that day, as soon as the emperor got up, he heard Cao Bin's report.

"Kneeling for what?"

Xiao Yu was a little grumpy when he woke up, simply because he didn't sleep well last night.

He had to drink a large bowl of the medicine given by Doctor Wen before going to bed, which caused him to wake up twice at night and made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Cao Bin whispered carefully, "Please plead for Wu Ronghua."

Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows.

He was also surprised that Wu Ronghua did this.

But the evidence is both there and there are witnesses and evidence, Yuan's confession and the drug powder found on the wall of Zhuhui Palace, aren't they enough for Zhaoqing and Yingcainv to believe?

"Let them go back." Xiao Yu looked at the bowl of medicine brought by the palace servant and frowned.

"I don't want to drink!"

He stood up from the dragon bed and walked to the table and sat down.

The newly placed branches of flowers on the table are fragrant and gorgeous.

It's obvious that this flower arrangement technique came from the Queen.

Xiao Yu became even more annoyed.

He waved his hand and knocked over the vase.

Cao Bin led the palace maids to kneel on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Who brought in the flowers?"

No one dared to reply.

After a moment, a eunuch replied softly, "...Xiao Linzi brought it in."

Xiao Linzi lay on the ground, his body stiff.

not him.

But it cannot be refuted.

Is Your Majesty going to listen to two eunuchs bickering and blaming each other? Even if he dares to argue, he will offend the master.

Because that person was Master's adopted son Cui Liang.

It was obvious that Cui Liang had accepted rewards from Fengyi Palace and replaced the daily flower offerings to the emperor with the queen's flower arrangements, but the incident was put on his head.

He has suffered too much of this kind of loss.

"Drag him away, twenty strokes of the cane!"

At Xiao Yu's command, Xiao Linzi was taken out of the hall by Cui Liang and others.

Fei Wan, who was kneeling outside, saw it.

Xiao Linzi lowered his head and did not ask her for help.

But she stood up and stood in front of Cui Liang and other eunuchs.

"Wait a minute."

The two words were spoken very softly, but they carried great pressure, which made Cui Liang stunned.

"Young Master Zhao?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Cui Liang bowed with a smile and asked Fei Wan's intentions.

His hand was still holding Xiao Linzi tightly.

Although he was respectful, he was not afraid of Fei Wan.

"Don't hit him yet. Wait until I go in." Fei Wan ordered in a low voice.

Cui Liang smiled apologetically: "My lady, you probably don't know. This is His Majesty's will. My lady, you can't disobey, right?"

Fei Wan stared at him quietly.

The eyes behind the veil were calm and seemed to have no emotion.

But Cui Liang felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

I even wondered where this timidity came from.

"I am not disobeying your order. I just asked you to wait."

After Fei Wan finished speaking, she turned and walked into the hall, not caring whether Cui Liang listened or not.

Cui Liang looked at her delicate and graceful back, his expression changed several times, and after hesitating for a while, he didn't dare to continue dragging Xiao Linzi.

"Your Majesty, your health is paramount. I am here to help you drink the medicine."

Fei Wan walked into the hall without being summoned, but she was not afraid at all. She walked forward and took the bowl of medicine from Cao Bin's hand.

He did not mention Wu Ronghua or Xiao Linzi, but just walked gently to the emperor, bowed, and handed the medicine bowl to the emperor.

Xiao Yu was in a bad mood.

But when he saw Fei Wan, he didn't lose his temper, he just frowned to show that he didn't want to drink.

Fei Wan took the silver spoon, bowed her head meekly, and said softly, "I will test whether it is hot or cold for Your Majesty."

She scooped a spoonful of medicine, turned her back to the palace maids, and lifted a corner of her veil in front of Xiao Yu.

With her soft cherry-red lips, she held the silver spoon and drank the medicine.

"Your Majesty, the temperature is just right, not too cold or too hot."

She lowered her veil and spoke softly, her eyes clear and innocent.

Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved slightly.

Staring at the pale shade of her lips behind her veil.

I thought, doesn't she know how seductive that action was?!

"All go out."

Xiao Yu waved his hand.

Cao Bin hurriedly led the palace servants out silently.
