C364 It's too weird

"Ci Yan, go and invite Miss Fei Yan to the I Palace! And also called for the Concubine Ping to come here as well! " It was unknown what the empress dowager thought of again as she instructed the palace maid at her side.

"Yes sir!" That senior palace maid - Ci Yan received the orders from the empress dowager and quickly went out to do some work.

At this moment, the empress dowager finally revealed a scheming smile. Even if she wanted to see who was more important in the Emperor's heart between Fei Yan and Concubine Ping, she knew clearly about the matter of the imperial garden, so she naturally knew about the existence of the Concubine Ping protecting in secret. She didn't expect that Shangguan Minghao really had a deep affection for the empress, and as for the current Fei Yan, since she didn't want to show her true face, then she would make her feel pain slowly.

"Are you all ready?" At the moment, National Lord Wei was extremely busy, he was getting more and more excited, thinking about the wish that he was about to fulfill, he was extremely excited.

"Your subordinate is ready, master!" All the soldiers said in unison.

"Good, very good. There are still three days left, after the new year celebration, you will all have survived. In the future, you will all rise and become rich, reuniting with your wives and children, everything will not be a problem, as long as you all work hard!"

"Yes sir!" Another deafening sound.

The National Lord Wei nodded in satisfaction, "How are you preparing for Zhuo Jun?"

He turned around and asked the person beside him.

"Reporting to Master, that side is also ready!" His subordinate hurriedly replied.

"Second brother, what's going on? Why are we really going against the National Lord Wei? " Seeing that it was almost the new year, Zhuo Wei looked at the well-prepared troop, looking at Zhuo Jun worriedly.

The other two brothers also looked at Zhuo Jun with curious faces, wanting to get an accurate answer.

Zhuo Jun looked around to ensure that it was safe before finally looking at the three of them, waving his hand to signal for them to come over.

"Do you understand?" Zhuo Jun muttered a lot beside them.

The three of them nodded in understanding.

"Second brother, we understand!" But what about Father? I am afraid that swords and blades will be blind! " Thinking of this, the Little Four started to worry.

As if Zhuo Jun knew what the Little Four was thinking, he had long received Zhuo Lei's arrangements, "Zhuo Wei, I'll leave father's safety to you!" Zhuo Jun solemnly patted Zhuo Wei's shoulders and said with determination.

Zhuo Wei nodded, his gaze exceptionally heavy. "Brother, don't worry, Father will definitely protect you!"

In that instant, Zhuo Jun suddenly felt that he had grown up.

The border was in full swing, and the capital city was no exception. Ever since Shangguan Minghao and the Concubine Ping had been so happy, everyone had become so busy that they had forgotten about Fei Yan and everything else in the harem.

Since the last time, Fei Yan's heart had slowly quieted down. Other than investigating the place where the people were imprisoned at night, she also painted a portrait of the person inside, preparing for this final dance.

When the Empress saw this situation, she thought that Fei Yan had passed her days and was no longer being pampered. It was a matter of time before she would move out of Shangguan Minghao's chambers, so she started to look down on Fei Yan.

Fortunately, Fei Yan didn't like to go out. Since she was closed up every day, no one could disturb her.

However, Zi Yan was a little anxious. That day, Shangguan Minghao left in a hurry in fury, and then favored the Concubine Ping. Everyone knew about this matter, but Fei Yan acted as if nothing had happened and didn't have any expression on her face.

She could clearly see that the emperor treated Fei Yan differently. Fei Yan also had feelings for the emperor, if not why would she speak to the emperor so casually?

"Miss Zi Yan, please convey the message to Miss Fei Yan. The empress dowager requests it!" When Ci Yan arrived at the emperor's chambers, she saw Zi Yan, who had been by his side all this time, taking care of him.

Zi Yan nodded her head and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Ci Yan!" Both of them were the emperor, and the empress dowager had many people by her side. In this harem, only these two masters were the eldest, so naturally, the status of these two maidservant s was not low.

Ci Yan passed on the words of the empress dowager and did not linger any longer. She then turned around and left.

Zi Yan looked in the direction of her benevolent complexion and was a little worried that Fei Yan would get up.

"Miss Fei Yan, the empress dowager has invited you!" Zi Yan noted Fei Yan's expression when she said that.

However, Fei Yan was very calm as she continued with her actions.

This was the first time Zi Yan realized that someone had used such a method to dance and it was so beautiful.

"Miss Fei Yan, you danced too well!" She had actually forgotten her earlier worries.

Fei Yan slowly stopped her movements, and looked towards Zi Yan who had an expression of infatuation. "Wool up for me, it's not good to see the empress dowager like this!" Fei Yan was not surprised at all by the empress dowager's invitation, it was as if she felt that only this would fit the empress dowager's personality.

Hearing Fei Yan's instructions, Zi Yan hurriedly replied and got back to work.

"Why is it that the snow is falling down and down? It's so heart-wrenching!" On the way to the empress dowager's palace, Fei Yan looked at the snowflakes that were starting to drift away and sighed.

"Hehe, when did Miss Fei Yan become so depressed? I think the snow is going to get heavier and heavier …!" Zi Yan rarely sees Fei Yan in such a state, she joked around and extended her hand to touch the snow, but she herself also became blurry, "Mother said, if the snow does not melt after touching the hand, the snow will become big!" As she spoke, Zi Yan placed the snowflakes she was holding in front of Fei Yan.

Fei Yan looked at Zi Yan, and without saying anything, she walked forward.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager!" Although Fei Yan was not very happy in her heart, she knew that this was not the time to be impulsive.

The empress dowager glanced at Fei Yan and said disdainfully, "Although it's so cold that you don't want to get up and go out, sometimes it's better not to be too lazy. Look how long has the Concubine Ping been here, unlike you …" As the empress dowager said this, she sized Fei Yan up from head to toe.

Fei Yan lowered her head and earnestly admitted her mistake, "The empress dowager's teachings were correct, this humble girl knows!" When the empress dowager saw Fei Yan's reaction, she did not say anything more.

Fei Yan didn't know what the empress dowager wanted them to do at the moment either. It was clear that the situation was too strange, without all the concubines, just him and Concubine Ping were the people who had personally witnessed what had happened last time.

"What did the two of you see yesterday?" The empress dowager seemed to ask very casually, but both of them knew that they had to pretend that they didn't see yesterday's perverted affair, or else they would be the only ones at a disadvantage.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, this humble daughter didn't see anything!"

"Reporting to the empress dowager, I didn't see anything!"

The two cleverly replied in unison.

When the empress dowager heard their voices, she nodded in satisfaction. "They both say that the emperor has found two beauties, intelligent and reasonable. As expected, I likes them very much!" Her Majesty laughed heartily, but things were as happy as she was.

Although Fei Yan really hated these people who described her as Shangguan Minghao's woman, as if that knowledge was a logical thing for them to do, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to win against the empress dowager if she spoke anymore. If she spoke more, there was no telling what the outcome would be.

"Empress Dowager, Miss Fei Yan has not been conferred a title yet!" A palace maid whispered into the empress dowager's ears, but her voice was loud enough for both of them to hear.

Fei Yan did not raise her head, she knew that the ordinary person was looking at her with a gaze of ridicule, but she was actually feeling disdain in her heart.

She disdained the title of Shangguan Minghao because from her perspective, she would only wish for a couple for her entire life. It was obvious that to a person who already had a group of wives and concubines, that was completely nonsense.

The empress dowager chattered angrily at palace maid, "You talk too much!" However, his face had a very bright smile.

Thinking about it, that palace maid must be the empress dowager's concern for him, right? The empress dowager actually doted on him and scolded him a little, but didn't say anything. "I is thirsty, find some tea for the I to warm her body!"

The palace maid did not dare to underestimate him, as they had already prepared everything inside.

"If it was placed so far away, how could the I get it?!"

It was unknown if this was an intentional arrangement or not, but when maidservant carried the tea, he was unable to get close to the empress dowager. However, Fei Yan and Concubine Ping poured the tea in front of the empress dowager.

"Fei Yan, go ahead and bring it back to the I!"

When Fei Yan heard the empress dowager's words, she was a little stunned. She didn't even know what tricks the empress dowager was playing, but there was definitely no way it was possible.

Sometimes, people would already think of many things to trap you, so if you wanted to hide, it would be in vain. Even if this road didn't work, all of your paths would be blocked.

Fei Yan was startled, she could clearly see the interaction between Concubine Ping and the empress dowager's eyes. In that instant, Fei Yan reacted very quickly, she thought that Concubine Ping would probably pour the hot spring water on her hands.

However, he had still overestimated himself and underestimated the Concubine Ping's self-sacrifice.

When the two of them were about to touch the cup at the same time, Concubine Ping actually overturned the cup on purpose.

"Aiyo …" "Hot." A loud shout was quickly followed by a low sobbing sound.

"Pah!"

The cup was mercilessly knocked over and it quietly fell to the ground. The moment the warmth of the cup dispersed in the cold winter, it touched the air and turned into mist, as if it was going to wrap around the entire room.

"What are you guys doing here? Why are you looking for a doctor!" The empress dowager knitted her brows as she resolutely commanded.

"Wuwu, my hand, empress dowager, can it be scarred …" Concubine Ping wailed in grief.

"What's going on!" It was a coincidence that both of them came at the same time.

An authoritative voice interrupted everyone's bustle, attracting everyone's attention. Concubine Ping's crying stopped for a while, but very quickly, Concubine Ping stuck on it like glue.

"Your majesty, I won't be able to play the zither for you anymore!" Concubine Ping snuggled into Shangguan Minghao's embrace.

Shangguan Minghao saw that there was still some chaos inside, and the debris on the ground had not been cleaned up yet. His gaze landed on Fei Yan, who was standing there without moving. He actually didn't know why, but even though the calm Fei Yan didn't know what was going on, she suddenly wanted to know what was important and what was not in Shangguan Minghao's eyes.

"Bandage her wounds first! I has seen it very clearly! " The empress dowager's face was gloomy, purposely looking at Fei Yan as she spoke, her gaze could not be more familiar.

Shangguan Minghao did not care about what the empress dowager said. Shangguan Minghao knew that the empress dowager had prejudice towards Fei Yan, and he wanted Fei Yan to explain himself, but in his eyes, women still had to rely on men. Men were their heaven, so they shouldn't be so overbearing.
