When she heard that Dongfang Ziqing had died in the sea of fire, Yi Fei was sad for a long time. The heavens were truly pitiful. They didn't expect that when they went to visit Imperial Concubine Chen, they would be discovered by the dying pearl. Yi Fei didn't hesitate to save the pearl, and she did her best to save it in order to repay Dongfang Ziqing for saving her life.

"Empress, why are you in a daze? It's really delicious to try out this Red Braised Carp! " It was rare for Pearl to see Yi Fei in a daze in her busy life. She smiled embarrassedly and wiped away the greasy hair on her hands as she reminded Yi Fei.

"Pearl, eat this. Is today's food delicious? " Yi Fei came back to her senses and asked the pearl with a smile.

"Delicious!" Ever since Pearl and Yi Fei had arrived at the Yi Palace, the daily dishes had been very delicious, and Pearl had eaten happily today as well. "Hahaha!" Pearl said happily. In Pearl's heart, to be able to eat these delicious dishes everyday was the happiest thing in the world.

"Un, pearl. Since you think it's delicious, then eat more. You have to eat all the talent at this table! Otherwise, I will punish you to eat two tables of food, you are not allowed to eat. " Yi Fei encouraged him.

Pearl heard Yi Fei's words, smiled, and continued to eat the food in front of her. Yi Fei wiped off the grease at the corner of her mouth and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, a palace maid ran in in a fluster and shouted loudly.

"Empress, this is bad! Something big has happened. A large group of people came to the Saber Guard Battalion with the intention of asking the Empress to help them investigate something. However, from the looks of their aggressive expressions, it definitely isn't a good thing. " After finishing her sentence, the palace maid had a tinge of panic on her face.

"Hmm, did they say anything? "Why did you suddenly come to my Yi Palace to ask me?" Yi Feifei asked the palace maid in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"Empress, I don't know either. I said that I wanted to report to the Empress first, but that group of people have already barged in. They should be arriving soon." The palace maid said.

"Your subject and others, first rank guard of the Saber Guard Battalion and saber guard greets Imperial Concubine Yi." As Yi Feifei was speaking with the palace maid, she saw a group of guards carrying sabers aggressively arriving outside her bedroom as they shouted loudly. Fortunately, these guards with sabers still knew that this was the imperial concubine's sleeping quarters, so they didn't directly barge in.

When Yi Fei saw this scene, she patted the palace maid who was somewhat afraid. She reached out her hand to stop Pearl who was about to go up and speak reason. Then, she walked towards the main door of the palace.

"All of you are free! Just what kind of grand matter did you have to ask this imperial concubine about when you barged into her palace today? "Go ahead." Yi Fei smiled calmly without a shred of panic.

"Reporting to Imperial Concubine Yi. "We were in charge of investigating the case of Hundred Flowers Palace's Chun'er's disappearance and her sudden death. Because we investigated some matters related to Imperial Concubine Yi, we invited esteemed wangfei to come back with us to the Saber Guard Camp to assist in the investigation. If there's time, the emperor will also head over for an interrogation."

When she heard the words of this serious bodyguard with a saber, Yi Fei was indeed frightened! He couldn't say a single word. What and what was this? How could he have anything to do with the Hundred Flowers Palace case?

Yi Fei knew clearly in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with her. Yi Fei knew that the palace was about to hold a blessing ghost exorcism conference, so it was definitely going to be chaotic. It was hard to guard against people, so Yi Fei rarely left her palace recently. Furthermore, she had also instructed Pearl to leave the palace as little as possible if there was nothing else to do. However, Yi Feifei had never thought that she would still be in trouble even though she was already on her guard.

"You're talking nonsense. How could Imperial Concubine Yi be related to someone from the Hundred Flowers Palace? Empress Yi rarely goes out, so you must have made a mistake. You can't take her to the Saber Guard Camp! " Pearl, seeing the scene before her eyes, knew, no matter how slow she was, what had happened. She stepped forward to stand in front of Yi Fei.

"Pearl, step down! If it's fortune, it's not misfortune. If it's misfortune, it's unavoidable. " Yi Fei was already moved to see the pearl like this for herself.

"No, Imperial Concubine Yi!" Pearl turned her head and looked at Yi Fei. She shouted at the guard with the sabre across from her, "Empress, with Pearl here, I won't let anyone hurt you!"

Although Pearl looked very imposing, she was also very scared. After all, everyone in the palace knew the position and power of a guard with a saber.

The guard with the sabre looked at Pearl's trembling legs and smiled. "Esteemed wangfei, you should come back with us as soon as possible!" As the imperial concubine, Yi Fei's status is noble. If we find out that she has nothing to do with us, we will naturally escort her back. I ask for the Empress to believe that our Vice Commander will return the Empress's innocence. "

Although these guards were under the orders of their superiors, they were all imperial concubines. There weren't many in the imperial harem with three thousand beauties. Furthermore, every one of them was favored by the emperor. After crawling and fighting in the palace, this bodyguard with a saber who had come to take charge still hoped to resolve this matter perfectly.

After all, this matter was greatly implicated, and even the Emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, was alarmed. The death of an elegant woman was actually not a big deal. With so many concubines within the palace, even if eight or ten of them died, the emperor would still not be aware of it.

But this time, Dongfang Ziqing made a ruckus in the imperial garden to lead to the opening ceremony. In the preliminary investigation, she found out that it had something to do with Imperial Concubine Yi, so the vice commander of the Saber Guard Camp didn't dare to be negligent.

When Xuanyuan Chen Mo saw the imperial edict that was submitted to him, he was immediately enraged. Xuanyuan Chen Mo actually liked the hundred beautiful ladies that the official had chosen to enter the palace last time. He had even specially arranged to make a hundred badges in the Hundred Flowers Palace to show his difference. He never thought that one of them would die before Xuanyuan Chen Mo even had the time to enjoy the scenery. Thus, he gave the order to investigate this matter strictly.

"Well, Pearl, you can go! I don't know anything and I haven't done anything, and I'm sure I'll be fine. When I'm not on the ground, you help me look after my Zhigong and then wait for me to come back. " After Yi Fei finished speaking, she patted Pearl on her shoulder and walked out of her room. She led the way with the sabre guard and headed to the camp with the sabre guard.

"Imperial Concubine Yi!" Yi Fei heard the heart-wrenching cry of a pearl behind her. She only stopped her steps but didn't say anything. Yi Fei also quietly wiped away the tears on her face before continuing to walk forward. Pearl looked in the direction that Empress Yi disappeared in and cried for a long time before stopping her sobs.

"Imperial Concubine Yi is so good to me. You can give me anything that tastes good to eat." Imperial Concubine Yi was a great person, but why did the heavens not open their eyes to the misfortunes of the empress?! "No, I have to think of a way to save esteemed wangfei since she treats me so well!" Pearl made up her mind.

"But I don't understand the whole situation. What should I do to help esteemed wangfei?" Pearl's head was not very bright to begin with, and this made her even more confused.

"Why am I so stupid? I am a fool who only knows how to eat, but the Empress is a clever person! She was so smart! She definitely could think of a way to save esteemed wangfei! Yes, we'll do it that way. I'll go to the Wutong Palace to look for the Empress right now! " Pearl did not expect that a flash of inspiration would come at such a critical moment in her brain.

Pearl silently complimented herself, then hurriedly tidied up, then rushed straight to the Wutong Palace.

Dongfang Ziqing wanted to take care of Xuemei, so she let Xuemei rest in her own bedroom. At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing was sleeping soundly on her own bed. Who knew that she would be suddenly woken up by bursts of weeping?

Dongfang Ziqing opened her eyes in annoyance, wanting to see who it was that woke her up. Dongfang Ziqing's mood had been in turmoil because of the incident with Xuemei. It was not easy to find her, and Xuemei was fine as well. Dongfang Ziqing's tensed mood was finally relieved.

Dongfang Ziqing was sleeping soundly, but she didn't expect to wake up. A person with a temper as good as Dongfang Ziqing's couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. To disturb a good dream was like harming a person's life. The crime was unforgivable and extremely heinous.
