Mei'er knew why she had fainted, but she couldn't tell the imperial physician directly that it was because she had taken the "Jade Dew Pill for Eliminating Muscles" that caused her fainting. Since taking the pill, Mei'er's figure had become increasingly lithe, but her appetite had also decreased, and she ate very little each day.

"Has the young lady been taking too little medicine lately?" the imperial physician asked.

"Yes, I don't have a good appetite and can't eat much," Mei said with a wry smile.

"Miss, you have anemia. You should eat more foods that can replenish your blood and qi," the imperial physician said. After saying that, he took his hand off Mei'er's wrist and began to prepare a prescription.

"Doctor, is my condition alright?" Mei'er was worried that the imperial physician would find out that she had taken that kind of medicine, but now it seems that he didn't know.

"It's nothing, she just hasn't been eating enough. She needs to eat more, otherwise her health will only get weaker. I'll prescribe some blood-tonifying and qi-boosting medicine for her. It will only help her temporarily, not in the long run. I'll also prescribe some medicine to improve her appetite, hoping it will help her regain her appetite," the imperial physician said.

"Yes, thank you very much, Physician Yang. My body is not very strong, but because I serve tea to the Emperor, I was fortunate enough to receive his mercy. It is really too much trouble for Physician Yang to make this trip." Mei'er continued, "Physician Yang treats the concubines and noble ladies of the harem. It is really a waste of Physician Yang's time to treat a servant like me."

Seeing her so modest, Physician Yang felt relieved and said with a smile, "Miss, there's no need to be so modest. It was ordered by the Emperor himself. We were just doing our duty."

"Imperial Physician Yang, please keep these as a token of my gratitude. There's no need for you to go to the Emperor in person. Mei'er is already feeling much better, so why don't you go and apologize to the Emperor yourself!" Mei'er took out two silver ingots from under her pillow, each worth five taels.

Physician Yang was surprised by her politeness and waved his hand, saying, "Miss, there's no need to worry. Since it was personally ordered by the Emperor, I must personally report back to him. Please put the money away quickly."

When Mei'er saw that he wouldn't accept the medicine and that she would personally report her illness to Emperor Kangxi, she was afraid that this Physician Yang was hiding something from her and would tell Emperor Kangxi that she had taken the Xiaoji Yulu Pill.

"Imperial Physician Yang, the Prince has been preoccupied with state affairs lately. As you know, ever since the former Crown Prince was deposed, His Majesty has always had a major concern on his mind. Therefore, His Majesty's temper has not been very good lately, and he often scolds and beats incompetent servants. Imperial Physician Yang, it's nothing serious. If you go again, I'm afraid that if you say something inappropriate and upset His Majesty, and if you are punished, I will truly feel terrible." Mei'er had no choice but to offer her last excuse.

Unexpectedly, these words did indeed have an effect. Physician Yang looked fearful, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I will go and tell Eunuch Liang to report back to the Emperor."

Mei'er felt a little anxious when Jin Die suddenly walked in from outside.

"Die'er, hurry and go get some medicine for your sister from Physician Yang. Physician Yang, why don't you write the prescription for Die'er first? You can report back later." Mei'er winked at Jin Die.

"Yes, Physician Yang, please write down the prescription first so I can go and get the medicine. I just went to deliver tea sets to Sister Yu Fen and saw that the Emperor was throwing a tantrum. Eunuch Liang is serving inside, and no one dares to go in for a while." Jin Die quickly went over to speak with Physician Yang.

"Well, alright then, let's go write the prescription for the young lady first." When Physician Yang heard Jin Die say this, he became even less willing to go.

While Physician Yang and Jin Die were writing the prescription, Ninth Master had already sent someone to find Physician Yang, saying that Consort Yi was not feeling well and that Physician Yang should go there as soon as possible.

"Miss Mei'er, this humble servant must go to Yikun Palace to see Consort Yi. I'll leave the reply from Eunuch Liang to you." Physician Yang felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Physician Yang, please go quickly. Don't keep Consort Yi waiting. I will report to Eunuch Liang myself. This useless body of yours is not worth His Majesty's concern," Mei'er said with a smile.

After Physician Yang packed his medicine box and warmly explained the prescription to Jin Die, he hurriedly left.

“Sister, you are truly capable, managing to persuade someone as esteemed as Ninth Master to care for you. However, I am a little confused as to why you don’t want Physician Yang to report your health condition to the Emperor,” Jin Die said.

"His Majesty is so busy, and my illness is not a good thing. Wouldn't it be annoying to go to his side and say something like that? Why would I go and say it?" Mei'er quickly made up an excuse. "You should work with me properly, and you'll be rewarded in the future."

"Alright, I'll go get the medicine for you, sister. Is there anything else you need, sister?" Jin Die was increasingly happy; she had finally found a way to climb the social ladder.

After Jin Die left, Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief, then struggled to get up again, reached for her wardrobe, and pulled out a small porcelain bottle. She uncorked the bottle and poured out some small black pills.

The quantity was counted, and it was correct; no one had noticed. This stuff was forbidden in the palace. Taking these pills could make a woman's body light and graceful. However, it was a double-edged sword; while it could help women with beauty and body shaping, it also severely damaged their health, causing them to become emaciated and eventually starve to death. This was because it disrupted the digestive system, causing anorexia.

She was terribly ill back then, and if it weren't for Xiao Qinzi randomly finding some medicine for her, she probably would have been dead long ago. Later, she didn't know if Xiao Qinzi had found the wrong medicine, but one time he brought her this kind of pill, which made her grow thinner and thinner, and more and more beautiful.

The reason why Emperor Kangxi was able to immediately favor Mei'er again after dealing with Zheng was largely due to the effectiveness of this "Skin-Soothing Jade Dew Pill".

Mei'er had become dependent on this item; without its use, Kangxi would no longer favor her as much. Just yesterday, he had told her that he was going to promote her to the rank of Noble Lady. However, her health failed her, and she fainted right in front of the Emperor.

"Oh, are you feeling better?" Suddenly, a woman's sweet voice came from behind.

Mei quickly hid the porcelain bottle in her hand and tucked it into her sleeve. She didn't have time to hide the medicine bottle anymore.

"How did you feel serving His Majesty today?" Mei'er stood up, gripping her sleeves tightly, and stared at Yu Fen.

"Hmph, His Majesty really enjoys the tea I brew," Yu Fen said smugly.
