"Aunt, I heard that the most important piece of evidence from the Guard Battalion was that they found a piece of jade pendant belonging to Yi Fei on the body of the elegant girl, Chun'er. Moreover, they found her corpse not far away from the Yi Palace. However, if you think about it carefully, this is conclusive evidence. In fact, it can't even stand up to scrutiny. Dongfang Ziqing said.

"Child, you have only been in the harem for a short time, why do you care so much about Yi Fei? I heard that after you came to the harem, you didn't have that kind of relationship with Yi Fei. " The empress dowager was indeed not an easy person to fool. She could tell that Dongfang Ziqing was too enthusiastic about the matter of Yi Fei.

If Dongfang Ziqing was the empress dowager in the past, the empress dowager would naturally not suspect her. But now that Dongfang Ziqing had become Yuwen Yanran, many things had their different opinions from Dongfang Ziqing.

Dongfang Ziqing was concerned about Yi Feifei's matters, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to suddenly ask such a question. Dongfang Ziqing was momentarily stunned as well. However, the current Dongfang Ziqing was no longer the pure little girl of the past. After experiencing so much life and death, she had become extremely shrewd.

"Aunt, Yanran has been in the palace for so long, and because she looks so similar to elder sister Dongfang, she has been criticized by many people. Moreover, there are quite a few who have come looking for her. Yanran was patient. She would only fight back when she couldn't take it anymore. Many of the older sisters were either frightened out of their wits when they saw Yanran, or they glared at her. Yanran, you are truly troubled. " Dongfang Ziqing once again played the trump card of feelings.

As expected, traces of sadness appeared on the empress dowager's face. The empress dowager looked at Yuwen Yanran. Although there was a slight change in her appearance, she was almost exactly the same as Dongfang Ziqing from three years ago. At one point, the empress dowager had thought that Dongfang Ziqing had reincarnated and appeared before her. Perhaps, Dongfang Ziqing hadn't died at all, and had only returned now.

"Child, I have let you suffer. In the past, many things had actually happened. It was understandable that you didn't know that much. All you need to know is that your aunt was helpless in the past. If many things happened in the harem, it would be good, but this old face of mine could still play a role. But if it's a matter of the military affairs, then I can't help it. Back then, Qing'er, sigh! The empress dowager sighed as she spoke.

"Because of this, Yanran hates people who treat her badly. It was not Yanran's fault why she treated Yanran like other people. "Yanran's interest in Big Sister Yi Fei's matter was precisely because Yanran accidentally met Big Sister Yi Fei once. Yanran didn't talk bad to Yanran and even happily smiled at Yanran. Yanran felt that Big Sister Yi Fei was a good person and definitely wouldn't do anything that would harm the heavens and the earth." Dongfang Ziqing said.

"Child, since you said that, aunt understands. Child, you are such a good boy, and you know how to be grateful. Aunt was the last time I saw you with a pure heart, and you look so much like Qing Er. Aunt just likes kids like you.

If you are a person with evil intentions and have been considered one of us for so long, your aunt would never forgive you, nor would she give you your last command medallion. Your aunt hopes that you can live happily in the imperial harem without suffering any harm. " The Empress Dowager said.

"Aunt, Yanran knows. But this time, Yanran really wanted to help big sister Yunxi. Sister Yi Fei is such a good person. I don't believe that Sister Yi Fei would sit around like that. "I'll definitely find evidence to help big sister Yi Fei." Dongfang Ziqing said.

"Alright! "Child, seeing how much you believe in Yi Fei, I'll send someone to take a look at the guard camp and have them thoroughly investigate this matter." The Empress Dowager said.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. And thank you for your trust in me, Aunt. " Dongfang Ziqing was very happy to hear the empress dowager's words. His purpose in coming to the Palace seemed to have been achieved.

"Alright!" Child, I know you are still busy with the matter of Yi Fei, so I won't keep you. He remembered that when he was free, he would come visit his aunt often. His aunt would be very lonely here in the harem. Remember, aunt will always support you. "Go, child!" After the empress dowager finished speaking, she waved her hand, as if she didn't want Dongfang Ziqing to see her sorrowful expression.

Dongfang Ziqing didn't say anything else. She merely stood up and kowtowed to the empress dowager before turning around and silently left.

When he walked to the door, Xue Mei came over and greeted him. When she saw Dongfang Ziqing's expression, she didn't seem to be very good, "Empress, what happened to you? Are you unhappy? Could it be that things were not going well? The situation is not good for Yi Fei? " Xuemei asked a series of questions.

"Xuemei, no. It's going well. Let's go back and talk. There are too many people talking outside. It's better to be careful! " Dongfang Ziqing said.

Hearing Dongfang Ziqing's words, Xuemei didn't ask any further questions.

"Return to the palace!" Xue Mei shouted loudly. Then, Dongfang Ziqing and the others returned to the inside of the Wutong Palace.

Yi Fei walked down the long corridor calmly. Beside her was the bodyguard with the sabre who had a serious expression on his face. Normally, the distance between him and the long corridor was getting shorter and shorter.

On the way to the bodyguard camp, Yi Fei saw the gazes of many people nearby. There was doubt and schadenfreude in her eyes, but the least of it was concern and anxiety.

"A cold harem!" Yi Fei sighed in her heart.

"Yi, isn't this Empress Yi? Why are there a large group of sabre guards following behind Yi Fei? It's strange that they can't even see a eunuch or palace maid. " A palace maid whispered from the side.

"What do you know?" That was a bodyguard with a saber at the front of the imperial palace. "How could I get them to make a move on a normal small issue? It looks like Concubine Yi must have committed some sort of grave offense." Another palace maid retorted.

"Then you are out of date! "Today, we found the body of the beautiful Chun Er from the Hundred Flowers Palace next to the pavilion near the Yi Palace. It must be related to this case that Consort Yi was taken away with her sabre and guards." Another palace maid said.

"Hmph, usually, Imperial Concubine Yi is the imperial concubine. As the saying goes, a phoenix that falls is inferior to a chicken. Now, it has been taken away by men from the Saber Guard Battalion. A palace maid looked at Yi Fei and said with a disdainful expression.

"Yes, yes. So what if she was the imperial concubine? Even if she made a mistake, she would still be taken away by the men from the Saber Protection Camp. The higher he climbed, the harder he fell. I think it's hard for Yi Fei to get up again after this fall. In the future, there will be one less imperial concubine position in the imperial harem. " When a young eunuch saw so many palace maids gathered together, he ran over to join in on the fun.

Yi Feifei's face was still calm, but her aura became increasingly cold. It was as if she had the same desolate killing intent as the sabre guards, giving people a cold feeling.

In fact, Yi Fei was very clear that she had been wrongly accused. However, there was no other way. It was impossible for Imperial Concubine Yi to not go with the men of the Saber Protection Camp. In the Imperial Palace, the power and importance of the Saber Guard Camp were extremely great. Since the emperor knew about this, the people from the Saber Guard Camp must have obtained the permission of the emperor to bring Yi Fei away.

"It seems that after the Emperor found out about this, he must be very angry. After all, the Emperor is still young, and thus has a passion for matters between men and women. One of the one hundred beautiful ladies personally conferred by the Emperor had actually died without anyone noticing. The Emperor was infuriated, and forgot that the past has been intertwined with my love, aiya! " Yi Fei thought in her heart.

"Bring the Saber Guard Army's order to bring Yi Fei back to the Saber Guard's camp. All those who have nothing to do, get out of the way! Otherwise, we will all be brought to the Saber Guard Camp together! " When the guards beside Yi Feifei saw that more and more palace maids and eunuchs were coming over to watch the commotion, they shouted loudly.

As expected, the words of the guard with a saber worked and the crowd began to shrink backwards. Yi Fei looked at those people and smiled, but didn't say anything to continue walking.

At that time, when Yi Fei saw the pearl in front of her, all sorts of feelings surged into her heart. Back then, when she was unintentionally visiting Imperial Concubine Chen's Snowflake Palace, she discovered the dying pearl.
