The next day, Cai Xiang made an excuse to leave Zhongcui Palace, looking around anxiously as she went, afraid of seeing anyone she knew. Finally, Cai Xiang arrived at Changchun Palace.

Lanqin was having breakfast, served by her maid, when she suddenly heard someone announce that Caixiang, a maid from Zhongcui Palace, was requesting an audience. Lanqin was startled and glanced at Cui Niang standing beside her, assuming Cui Niang had finished her business. However, Cui Niang shook her head, and Lanqin was unsure what was going on. Lanqin didn't know what Caixiang was up to, but she let her in anyway.

Cai Xiang entered, led by her maid. Looking at the valuable decorations in the courtyard, she suddenly felt a pang of envy for Nian Xia. Why could Nian Xia serve Consort Xi in Changchun Palace, while she could only stay by Consort Fucha's side?

As Cai Xiang walked further, she saw Consort Xi sitting upright in the main seat. Seeing Lan Qin's dignified appearance, Cai Xiang suddenly felt nervous, and her whole body trembled. "Cai Xiang... greets Consort Xi!"

"Get up first. What brings you here today, Fucha's maidservant, to Changchun Palace?" Lanqin was genuinely curious. Could it be that she wanted to seek refuge with her? Caixiang got up from the ground, suppressing her nervousness, and straightened her back. "Your Majesty, Caixiang has come today to negotiate terms with you!"

"How dare you! You dare to negotiate with me? Don't forget your place. Don't you know that Her Majesty taught the servants the things that Empress Fucha taught?" Lanqin scolded, how dare a mere maid try to negotiate with her.

Cai Xiang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. She didn't want to come to Changchun Palace and get nothing in return, only to reveal her secret. She could only say, "Your Highness, how dare I, a lowly servant, negotiate with you? I only want to survive in this palace. I promise that what I tell you later will be exactly what you want!"

Looking at the cowering Cai Xiang on the ground, he thought about what he wanted: nothing more than evidence that Lady Fucha had the Soul-Hooking Eye. Could it be that Cai Xiang knew something? Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to negotiate with him.

"That depends on what you give me." Lanqin picked up her cup, took a sip of tea, and waited calmly for Caixiang's reply.

“Your Majesty, I know that the medicine was given to Consort Sun by Consort Fucha, and I also know where Consort Fucha hid it!” Cai Xiang said, bowing her head.

Lanqin immediately became interested. She never expected that what she had been longing for would actually come to her door today. "Where is it?" Caixiang paused, then continued, "But Your Highness, you have to promise me that after I tell you, you have to guarantee that I won't have to serve anyone else personally anymore."

"What? Fucha treated you badly, so you're thinking of betraying her?" Lanqin wanted to test whether she had really come to seek refuge with her.

Cai Xiang nodded and said, "Noble Lady Fucha is not kind to people to begin with, and Cai Xiang has made too many mistakes recently. I'm afraid that if she stays by the Noble Lady's side..."

Lanqin smiled. Noble Lady Fucha had taken every precaution, but she still couldn't guard against Caixiang, who betrayed her master for personal gain. She was afraid that if Caixiang was kept around, she would become a menace in the future.

"Alright, I promise you, once this matter is resolved, you will no longer need to serve any master." He was eager to find something to use against Lady Fucha, so he had no choice but to agree.

Upon hearing Consort Xi's promise, Cai Xiang was overjoyed, thinking that she would never have to serve anyone again for the rest of her life. She kowtowed and thanked her, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
