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

Chapter 409 Gradually Taking Power

The emperor's gaze grew deeper.

"Your Majesty, why...are you so quiet?"

Fei Wan's eyes were full of love.

She put her slender hands on her chest to block the view that the bib could not hide.

But her back was completely exposed, as was her waist, and the brocade quilt covering her body only covered the area below her waist. So, whether she covered her hand or not made no difference.

If there is any difference, it is that the shy state of covering one's body makes men more excited.

"Zhao Qing, are you deliberately trying to seduce me?"

The emperor's Adam's apple moved again and again.

"His Majesty!"

Fei Wan said coquettishly.

Turning her face away, she reveals the graceful curve of her neck, like an elegant swan on a spring lake.

"How dare I seduce you? I'm injured and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you for a long, long time. If I arouse your interest, you will just abandon me and go to your other sisters. I don't want you to leave..."

She still turned her face away, facing the emperor sideways.

But he reached out and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes.

"I want you to stay here and accompany me."

A resentful tone, a shy posture, a body that reveals its spring beauty...

Snapped.

The lamp suddenly exploded.

The slight sound was particularly inaudible in the quiet bedroom.

"Zhao Qing!"

The emperor put down the ointment box, walked over and hugged Fei Wan in his arms.

"ah……"

Fei Wan let out a low cry of surprise.

The emperor paused and let go: "Why, did I hurt you?"

"I'm not in pain. I want you to hold me."

Fei Wan pulled the emperor's hand back and gently snuggled into his arms. She tilted her head slightly, her soft lips touching his neck, her gentle breath caressing his skin.

"Your Majesty, I miss you so much... so much..."

This time, the emperor didn't want to be patient any longer.

He reached out and picked up Fei Wan, holding her in his arms.

Let her sit on him.

"I promise I won't hurt you again tonight."

The gauze curtain swayed gently.

Fei Wan wrapped her arms around the emperor's neck, temporarily putting everything else aside and concentrating on enjoying the man's service.

Done.

The emperor also carried her into the bathroom.

He didn't ask any palace maids to come and serve her himself.

After changing into clean and comfortable pajamas, they returned to the tent. The emperor was lying down, and Fei Wan was lying on her side, her eyes more gentle than before.

"Your Majesty, I was able to be this close to you even when I was recovering from my injuries. Now I no longer have to worry that if I recuperate for too long, you will forget me and find a new love."

"Even if I forget all the women in the harem, I will never forget you."

The emperor lazily embraced her and stroked her hair.

"Could it be that even if you've forgotten Sister Yue, you won't forget me either?" Fei Wan insisted, as if to argue with him. "You're going to make her the new queen."

These words made the emperor open his half-closed eyes again.

Slightly angrily, he said, "I was just about to ask you, why did you tell me right after I told you I was going to make her queen and you immediately started telling me about it?"

This anger is not real anger, but mostly a helpless blame.

In fact, he was very angry at first.

"Huh? Your Majesty, this matter...can't I tell you?" Fei Wan was surprised, with an innocent look on her face.

But in her heart, she thought, I knew you were going to bring an army to punish me, so I teased you into letting you go. Even the most serious matter, if you leave it to be discussed afterward, becomes nothing serious.

"It's not that I can't say it, I just don't want to make it public too early." The emperor frowned slightly, still more helpless than angry.

Fei Wan asked in confusion, "Why? The queen's wedding wasn't announced in advance. Is it to give everyone a surprise when the time comes?"

This silly girl. The emperor sighed.

However, Zhaoqing's stupidity makes her easy to deal with and cute.

"Never mind. It doesn't matter if it's public. Anyway, the imperial edict will be issued in a few days."

"Oh..." Fei Wan responded obediently, but after a moment she asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, did I cause you any trouble by making this public? Did I do anything wrong?"

"No. If there is any fault, it is Concubine Yue who made the matter public first. You don't have to worry too much."

The emperor stroked her hair gently, comforting her.

"Your Majesty, are you not willing to disclose this information in advance because you're considering the past?" Fei Wan said sincerely. "I don't understand what's going on outside the palace, but I think it's a good idea for Concubine Yue to disclose the news earlier and rectify the palace atmosphere. Otherwise, the trend of threatening people with their families' lives to do bad things will prevail. This palace is really scary."

"What you said makes sense," said the emperor.

"Thank you for your approval, Your Majesty. I was thinking of discussing with Sister Yue, Qing, Kang, and Shun tomorrow about revising the entrance and exit controls for the palace. Since Your Majesty is here tonight, I'd like to ask you for your advice. Do you think it's okay?"

The emperor then asked, "Why do you want to rectify the palace entrance restrictions?"

"It's because I think that since Concubine Lan Zhaoyi was threatening the family of Concubine Shun's maid, she must have been able to command her helpers outside the palace to act. Otherwise, how could she have poisoned the maid's family? Therefore, there must be a loophole in the palace's access control, allowing Concubine Lan Zhaoyi to easily pass messages out of the palace. Concubine Zheng's threat to Concubine Yu is probably the same. Sister Yue reprimanded Concubine Lan Zhaoyi's family today to warn everyone in the palace not to follow suit, but I feel that if we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we must prevent those who want to do harm from freely communicating with people outside the palace."

"Excellent," the emperor praised. "Zhaoqing, you have considered this very carefully. I will leave this matter to you."

Fei Wan smiled angrily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not thinking I'm being ridiculous. However, I need to recuperate from my injuries, so I don't have the energy to do this..."

"Just do it, I'll get someone to help you."

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Why, you don't want to listen to what I say?"

"Chen and concubine dare not!"

Fei Wan wanted to stand up and bow to admit her mistake, but was held down by the emperor.

So she "reluctantly" accepted the task and rectified the palace access control.

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, and the emperor began to feel sleepy.

Before falling asleep, he was quite satisfied with his arrangements.

Once Concubine Yue is established as empress, there will be no one in the palace who can control her. Concubine Qing is weak, Concubine Hui will be busy with military affairs, and Concubine Kang and Concubine Shun are both weak-willed and cannot compete with Concubine Yue.

Zhao Qing, though gentle, was still somewhat measured in her actions, and had a good reputation in the palace, able to convince the public. Concubine Yue seemed to be very close to her now, and would not easily suppress her. Therefore, by training her to do things, she could somewhat restrain Concubine Yue.

The emperor fell asleep peacefully with a smile on his face.

And Fei Wan was more peaceful and comfortable than him.

Not only did they rest comfortably tonight, eat comfortably, and bathe comfortably, but they also had a hearty orgy with the Emperor, leaving them feeling relaxed. Especially since the Emperor's anger at their premature announcement of the enthronement was alleviated, and they were given the task of personally maintaining the palace's security, it was truly a relief.

With Concubine Yue as the queen, she will be able to gradually gain power.

A little closer to the goal.

Fei Wan also fell asleep with a smile on her face.

The next day, after sending the emperor to court, she took a nap to rest up enough, and then went to visit Lan Zhaoyi in the torture chamber.

"What are you doing here?" Lan Zhaoyi became surprisingly haggard and withered overnight.

When she saw Fei Wan, her eyes were filled with sharp hatred.
