After the Emperor drove away all the newcomers to the Zhenxia Pavilion, Concubine Hui's coughing up blood and stomachache stopped. At night, she could even sit up and talk to the Emperor.

The emperor was overjoyed and summoned Liao Henian to the Imperial Medical Bureau that same day, appointing him as a fifth-rank judge to serve Concubine Hui full-time.

A small kitchen was specially arranged for the Zhenxia Pavilion, and all the food of Concubine Hui was prepared from the small kitchen to prevent people with unlucky fate from touching Concubine Hui's things and getting sick.

The emperor assigned this matter to Xue Yu, because Xue Yu came from Zhenxia Pavilion.

Since Concubine Hui was fine when Xue Yu served her, then Xue Yu's fate was naturally very auspicious for Concubine Hui.

Qiao Gui was kicked by the emperor and was seriously injured, so he retreated to recuperate. Cui Shi had been sent by Qiao Gui to do odd jobs. For a while, Xue Yu became the number one eunuch around the emperor and was unrivaled in the limelight.

The last time Qiao Gui lost power, he was revived due to illness. This time, Zhu Zhihui Tongzhi had learned his lesson and did not dare to act rashly. He ran to Su Fengyi for instructions:

"What a pity! It would be great if those maids could identify Qiao Gui's guilt. Your Highness, would you like me to conduct a trial?"

Su Fengyi was reading the posts sent by Dangui. When she saw the new posts including one from the Wang family asking for a meeting, she smiled and said:

"They are just a few maids, do you think Lu Hong can't figure it out?

Even if the interrogation revealed that it was Qiao Gui, what would it matter? Would the emperor believe it?

Zhu Qi, you must remember that what is important is not the facts, but what the emperor thinks.

Qiao Gui dared to let those people into the Zhenxia Pavilion. Whatever he could find out from the investigation was what he left out in the open for you to find out. Naturally, he also prepared a way out for him to escape after the truth was revealed. We will not let him take that way out. "

Zhu Zhizhi was worried:

"But I am worried that if I don't kill him, Your Highness, what should I do if he uses his old tricks again and relies on his serious illness to beg for mercy?"

Su Fengyi took out the Wang family's post and put it aside, then said:

"The same trick can be done once or twice, but not three times. Even if he wants to, it depends on whether others agree.

The last time Qiao Gui was reinstated, he treated Cui Shi so badly. Now that Qiao Gui is in trouble, Cui Shi will naturally seize the opportunity. Zhu, the commander-in-chief, can just sit back and watch the fight.

As for Xue Yu, please tell him for me that the Emperor does not like ungrateful people, and since he is a loyal person, he should be loyal to the end.

Once a father, always a father. He should treat the factory owner the same way he treated him before, and even be more respectful and considerate than before."

After Zhu Zhihui took the order and left, Su Fengyi asked Dangui to send the invitation back to the Wang family and arrange for someone from the Wang family to meet her in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Concubine Hui's mother, Mrs. Wang, came in person.

When she saw Su Fengyi, Mrs. Wang began to cry before she could say anything, and then she knelt down to pay homage to Su Fengyi:

"The Wang family will never forget the kindness that Your Highness has shown us."

Mrs. Wang's mood has been up and down these days.

First, she encountered the happy event of her daughter being made a princess. Mrs. Wang happily went to the palace to see her daughter and unborn grandson whom she had not seen for three years.

As a result, within two days, news came that her daughter was dying of illness. Mrs. Wang was preparing to return to Shandong, but when she heard the news, she fainted on the spot.

Concubine Hui was seriously ill and could not summon her family. After Lady Wang woke up, she wanted to go to the palace to see her daughter, but she had no way to do so.

Just when she was at home, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do, good news came knocking on Mrs. Wang's head one after another.

My daughter's illness has healed.

My daughter was promoted to Consort Hui.

My husband was promoted to Governor-General of Liangjiang.

I was promoted to the second-rank lady.

With so many ups and downs, Mrs. Wang almost couldn't survive.

The area of ​​Liangjiang is the richest place in the Da Mu Dynasty. It is also the hometown of half of the officials of the Da Mu Dynasty and the source of taxes for the Da Mu Dynasty. Controlling Liangjiang means controlling the purse of the Da Mu Dynasty.

The Governor-General of Liangjiang was in charge of the military and political power in Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and was a veritable frontier minister.

Su Fengyi personally helped Madam Wang up:

"Madam Wang, there is no need to be so polite. I have not yet congratulated Madam Wang. Dangui, please find a seat for Madam Wang and serve her tea."

The two of them sat down politely. Mrs. Wang sat down, still unable to stop crying, and kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief:

"My words and actions were inappropriate and made Your Highness laugh at me. Please forgive me.

I have five sons and only this little daughter. Tangtang is at home and everyone in the family spoils her.

Now in the palace, although Tangtang is enjoying the emperor's favor, she is not by my side. I am really worried about her day and night.

When I thought about accompanying my husband to Liangjiang to take up his post, and not knowing when I would see Tangtang again, my heart ached and I couldn't sleep at night.

I dare to ask Your Highness to help look after Tangtang. The entire Wang family will never forget Your Highness's kindness."

The most prominent families in the Da Mu Dynasty were the Pei family in Jiangnan and the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Su Fengyi looked at Madam Wang and smiled gently:

"Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them. Madam Wang's love for her daughter really moved me.

In the harem, Concubine Hui's favor is unmatched. Why does she need my care? Why should we talk about favors or disfavors?

Mrs. Wang is being too polite when she says this."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she pleaded with him and her tears were about to fall:

"It is my fault for being so presumptuous."

Su Fengyi said again:

"But I get along well with Concubine Hui. Even if Madam Wang doesn't say anything, I will often drink tea and chat with Concubine Hui."

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she held back her tears, saying happily:

"Yes, yes, yes, it is Tangtang's blessing to have such a fate with His Highness.

I am not good at speaking, and I ended up saying something inappropriate. Your Highness, please be magnanimous and don’t blame me.”

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"Speaking of estrangement, this palace recalled an old story. This palace heard that the ancestors of the Pei family and the Wang family were sworn brothers and had a deep affection for each other.

For some unknown reason, the two families had a disagreement and confronted each other, and have had no contact with each other since then.

This has delayed the rare friendship between our ancestors and made us feel estranged. I wonder if this is true?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew what the eldest princess was talking about.

The Wang family and the Pei family are not just strangers, they have a feud.

The two families served as officials in the same court. They were fair to each other, not to the issue. As long as the other side agreed with something, the other side would definitely oppose it. If one side opposed something, the other side would definitely agree with it.

Although Pei Yu promoted border trade with the emperor's decree, he encountered many twists and turns when it came to the specific implementation because of the Wang family's sabotage and disruption. He even wrote a letter to Su Fengyi to complain a few days ago.

Su Fengyi believed that with Pei Yu's ability, he would eventually be able to suppress the Wang family and make the border trade a success.

But since ancient times, factional disputes have been the source of political disorder.

Su Fengyi would not interfere with the quarrels between the Wang and Pei families, but if they affected national affairs, Su Fengyi would never agree.

Mrs. Wang was a smart person. She immediately understood what Su Fengyi had not yet said and said hurriedly:

"That is absolutely not the case. The Wang family and the Pei family have been friends for generations. I don't know who spread such gossip and disturbed your peace.

I will go back and investigate thoroughly, Your Highness, please rest assured."

A few days after Madam Wang left the Princess's Mansion, Xue Yu sent a message from the palace:

Greetings, Your Highness. Recently, many ministers in the court who had attacked border trade have suddenly changed their tune and praised the border trade as a long-term plan. This is truly wise!
