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

Chapter 232: Blockade of Changle Palace

Fei Wan held his chest and calmed himself down, "It's okay, just send me back."

"Wait until the medical officer arrives. Let's check on the eldest sister first, and then go treat Liu Gengyi, right?"

"I've already said it's okay, so don't say anything more."

Fei Wan was supported by Yu Sujin and slowly walked towards Chunxi Palace.

Chen Cairen followed and said, "I am sending the queen back. I am worried about you in this state!"

"Thank you, Sister Chen."

"Your Highness, please don't be polite to me. You are a beautiful and kind person. You have been managing the harem these days. No one in the palace disapproves of your decisions. They all say that you are compassionate, fair, and wise. I have long wanted to serve you, but my talent and intelligence are shallow, so I dare not approach you. Please let me serve you today!"

Who doesn’t like someone with a sweet mouth?

Fei Wan allowed her to follow him, and they chatted along the way, asking her about her hometown, her hobbies, and the trivial matters after entering the palace.

From the conversation, he got a general idea of ​​Chen Cairen's situation and concluded that this person could be trained.

When she suffered in her previous life, Fei Wan was bullied everywhere in the palace.

If you fly to the tree branch in this life, you will be surrounded by smiling faces.

For someone like Chen Cairen, it's hard to say how sincere she is, but she is definitely insincere.

But being in a high position, one cannot avoid false praise.

Confidants, capable men, and allies are the skeleton, while these superficial flatteries are the skin and flesh attached to the skeleton, which together support the power of the superior.

After returning to Chunxi Palace, Fei Wan gave Chen Cairen a red gold hairpin with kingfisher feathers and peach blossom decorations. The hairpin was heavy and of good quality, which made Chen Cairen very happy.

What good things could a man who could only give embroidered handkerchiefs to curry favor with the concubine have? How could he not be happy to get this hairpin?

After Concubine Chen left, Fei Wan closed the door and had a private conversation with her half-sister.

"Do you understand now?"

Yu Sujin looked solemn and bowed properly to Feiwan.

"Thank you, elder sister, for giving me a chance. I went astray before, but I will never do that again. The palace is dangerous, and without your support, I will have a hard time. From now on, I will support you wholeheartedly. If I have any second thoughts, I will suffer the same fate as Yu Tingjin!"

Yu Sujin increasingly realized that the palace was full of traps.

My eldest sister was just going out for a walk at night, and someone plotted against her like this.

If she encountered this kind of thing today, it would be difficult for her to handle it properly.

She was sincere in this oath.

I used to look down on Fei Wan, thinking she was lucky. Later, I realized her scheming and thought she was just pretending to be virtuous and weak. Only tonight did I begin to appreciate how thorough and thoughtful my elder sister Fei Wan is.

He really took every possible measure into consideration and made use of everyone present - including her.

She still needs to learn how to turn disadvantages into advantages.

"Eldest sister, you still have to call the imperial physician later. You have to confirm that you were frightened by Liu Gengyi." After Yu Sujin made the oath, she quickly gave Fei Wan advice and suggestions to demonstrate her value.

She is now hated by the emperor and targeted by Concubine Xian, so the only way for her is to cling to Fei Wan.

"We also need to find out who is behind Liu Gengyi as soon as possible. She was able to escape from the Palace Administration Office so late at night, and so many people gathered to watch the excitement in the Imperial Garden. There must be someone behind her. I just don't know where to start, so please teach me, elder sister."

Fei Wan smiled at her, "Susu, you are really smart to think of this. I didn't even think of it."

Trust you? Yu Sujin felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Fei Wan was still on guard against her.

She had tried so hard tonight, but her elder sister still refused to be honest with her...

However, my eldest sister called me by my nickname again, and it sounded soft and gentle when I heard it, which was really nice.

She lowered her head shyly: "My younger sister is clever, but not as smart as my older sister."

"Don't be so modest. Think of a way to investigate this matter. If it doesn't work, just ask Liu Gengyi directly. I'm tired. Please call the imperial physician for me later. You know how to call him."

Fei Wan became a hands-off boss and went back to the inner room to rest.

"Thank you for your trust, elder sister."

Yu Sujin was a little excited.

Fei Wan was willing to entrust her with such an important task, which showed that she still had some weight in Fei Wan's eyes.

It's not that she didn't know where to start, she was just flattering Fei Wan.

"Mammy, Zhang Xiaosi, I found him!"

The second half of the night is when people sleep the deepest.

Nanny Liao, who was serving outside the bedroom in Changle Palace, was gently awakened.

The old nanny sobered up instantly after hearing this. Had the fugitive slave who passed the powder to the cousin in the kitchen and plotted to murder Consort Ying been found?

"Where did you find it?"

"It's in our palace, Mammy..."

The palace maid who reported the incident was pale and had fear in her eyes.

Madam Liao put on her clothes and tiptoed out: "Take me to see it."

"Mammy, that... is not easy to see. Please don't go..."

"go!"

Without giving any explanation, Madam Liao grabbed the palace maid and saw that the eunuch in charge of finding people was waiting outside the hall, so she asked him to lead the way.

The eunuch's face was also very unhappy. He led the way all the way to the small kitchen in the backyard of Changle Palace, passed through a narrow door, and entered the storage area.

There were two cellars on the open space, one of which was open. Two wine jars were placed next to the cellar, surrounded by a group of eunuchs. Two more eunuchs were climbing up the ladder from the cellar, carrying another wine jar.

The eunuch in charge explained in a low voice, "We've searched the entire palace, and we've looked here several times, but... the wine jars aren't big enough to hide anyone, so... we didn't notice it before. Just now, a servant stole some wine from the cellar, and that's why..."

Madam Liao's face was solemn.

He stepped forward and shone the lantern in his hand onto the wine jar.

The aroma of wine mixed with an indescribable fishy smell hit my face.

In the jar, a human head swollen by the wine was clearly visible.

In another jar of wine, there was a folded arm soaking.

The wine jar that had just been brought up fell to the ground, and everyone looked to see a piece of severed leg bone soaking in it.

The eunuchs on duty vomited one after another.

Madam Liao's face was tense, her eyes sharp as she looked towards the entrance of the cellar: "Anything else? Take them all out and let's see. There are only a few pieces, not even enough to make a complete human being!"

"Seal off Changle Palace. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out until the truth is revealed!"

"From this moment on, everyone must travel in pairs. No one is allowed to act alone. Report any unusual activity promptly. A generous reward will be offered. Those who conceal or fail to report any incident will be punished like the offender and will be beaten to death!"

Her calmness stunned everyone present.

It also stopped the spreading fear in time.

Although the palace servants were afraid, they finally started to work in an orderly manner.

The virtuous concubine suddenly woke up from her sleep.

Nanny Liao has arranged everything and returned to her side.

Without hiding anything, Madam Liao told the truth about Zhang Xiaosi's body being dismembered and soaked in a jar of wine.

"Don't be afraid, your Majesty, and don't be angry. Now that the person has been found, it's a good thing. Even if he's dead, it doesn't matter. Even if someone does such a cruel thing, how can they hide it? Your Majesty's suspicion will be cleared soon."
