Fei Wan's coldness not only did not make Xiao Yue retreat, but also made him work more attentively for her.

Fei Wan had a good idea of ​​Xiao Yue's thoughts.

If something can be obtained easily, we will not cherish it.

Fei Wan helped him eliminate his childhood obsession, but inadvertently created another obsession for him.

So even if she does not fit the image of true kindness in his mind, he will convince himself to satisfy the obsession in his heart.

Fei Wan guided Xiao Heng to target Xiao Yue, but Xiao Heng did not kill him.

Because Xiao Yue himself has power and it is impossible to eradicate him, Xiao Heng can only create trouble to make the other party feel afraid and continue to work for him, while balancing the power in the court.

Xiao Heng was waiting for the day when he could find Xiao Yue's weak spot, kill him with one blow, and completely eliminate all threats.

Now Xiao Heng has set his sights on another person.

In the imperial court, Xiao Heng's biggest concern is undoubtedly Concubine Hua's brother, General Hua.

The reason why Concubine Hua holds such a high position is not only because she comes from a prominent family, but also because she has a brother who has made great military achievements.

However, General Hua was proud of his achievements and even formed a clique for personal gain, which was a big taboo.

Not long ago, someone was killed. Even if the news was suppressed, Xiao Heng, who had been sending people to monitor General Hua's movements, would know about it.

Although it was an unintentional mistake and compensation was given, it was a human life after all.

Since General Hua had harmed the lives of civilians, Xiao Heng directly put General Hua in jail.

This imperial edict came so suddenly that it shocked all the ministers.

General Hua's forces had no time to deal with the situation, and Xiao Heng took General Hua away in the court.

This was what Xiao Heng had planned from the beginning. Xiao Heng wanted to take this opportunity to regain some of the power in the court.

In the eyes of the powerful, the lives of ordinary people are actually not important.

However, the law stipulates that even if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people.

This law will naturally take effect when Xiao Heng needs it.

What's more, the flood is serious and the national treasury is empty. If we confiscate this family's property, we will probably get a lot of gold and silver.

therefore……

During the search of the general's mansion, instruments made according to imperial regulations were found.

Concubine Hua has not been as good as before recently. She rarely smiles and even comes to Fengyi Palace less often.

The palace is not as well-informed as the previous dynasty, but even Concubine Hua knows the movements of the previous dynasty and understands that the current situation is very unfavorable to General Hua.

Concubine Hua was handling palace affairs for Fei Wan and no longer complained like before. She buried her head in books and didn't even hear Fei Wan calling her several times.

Fei Wan had nothing to comfort her, so she pushed the plate of pastries in front of her.

Concubine Hua looked at the plate of pastries with a dazed look on her face.

“…Will he die?”

As soon as Concubine Hua finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong and lowered her head.

She was silent for a long time, then raised her head and looked at Fei Wan expectantly.

"Empress, my brother could not possibly have the intention to rebel. Please go and persuade His Majesty to let my brother go."

This was the first time Fei Wan saw a pleading look on the face of the extremely arrogant Concubine Hua.

Fei Wan certainly knew that General Hua had no intention of rebelling.

However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xiao Heng.

The original plot is also like this.

If the crime of treason is proven, General Hua will have no chance of survival.

In the original plot, General Hua died and she also committed suicide, which is enough to show the deep relationship between her and her brother.

Now that Concubine Hua is at her wit's end, she thinks of Fei Wan, who is deeply favored by Xiao Heng, so she humbles herself and asks Fei Wan for help.

Fei Wan sighed softly and asked her back.

"Have you ever been to see His Majesty?"

When Concubine Hua heard this, the light in her eyes gradually disappeared.
