She slowly opened the box, inside which lay a translucent, white pill.

As the lid was opened, a unique fragrance wafted out.

Its aroma is invigorating, and it's clearly no ordinary product.

"This is the only pill I have left. Master Li, you can have the Imperial Concubine deliver it to the Emperor. Once he takes it, he will be inseparable from it. At that time, the Imperial Concubine's position in the palace will be as solid as a rock, unshakeable by anyone. The Sixth Prince will also be the only choice for Crown Prince."

"These courtiers who have offended you today will naturally rush forward, following your lead without question."

Li Zhi listened with rapt attention.

He picked up the pill and smelled it carefully.

"Is this thing of yours really useful?"

“Of course it is true. I have already been sold into Chunxiang Courtyard, and I was hoping to escape this sea of ​​suffering with your help. How could I cut off my own path to survival?”

Qi Huang's words convinced Li Zhi even more.

"But you only have this one..."

Qi Huang said,

"The medicinal materials needed for alchemy are too expensive for me to afford. As long as the supply of medicinal materials is sufficient, I can make as much as you want."

A look of greed flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

But doubts still remain.

"Won't this pill kill you?"

Qi Huang raised his hand,

"You can have someone test it to make sure it's correct before you go to the Emperor. Anyway, I'm trapped here and can't leave. I believe you will come to find me soon."

Li Zhiyi thought it made sense.

"Fine, if this pill doesn't work, I'll skin you alive!"

He finished speaking and strode away.

The madam outside the door, thinking he was dissatisfied, quickly coaxed, "Master Li, there are other beauties here, I guarantee you..."

Li Zhi raised his hand and waved it away.

Pointing at Qi Huang, he said, "Keep a close eye on her. Treat her to the best of food and drink. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible."

He then stuffed a hundred-tael silver note into the madam's arms and strode away.

The madam's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Oh my, you're really my cash cow."
