Am I not allowed to obediently accept your threat?

Seriously.

Being the head of the Imperial Medical Academy is incredibly difficult! Extremely difficult!

I'm being threatened every single day!

When can I retire?

I really want to retire and go back to my hometown!

However, for now...

The play still needs to be performed!

Physician Chang immediately said.

"To tell you the truth, I currently have a elixir of rejuvenation hidden in my home!"

"I will bring it into the palace first thing tomorrow morning!"

The palace maid nodded.

"Imperial Physician Chang is very pragmatic! That's right, going against the ladies of the harem never ends well!"

Doctor Chang curled his lip.

Oh, look at you, so capable! You're just a concubine! You act all high and mighty!

I have the Emperor's backing!

What kind of status could a lowly concubine like Jieyu possibly hold in the Emperor's heart?!

After the palace maid returned to the palace.

He told Consort Sun that Imperial Physician Chang had promised to bring the elixir of rejuvenation into the palace the next day.

Sun Jieyu became smug after hearing this.

"Hmph, my Five-Step Intoxication is a very potent poison!"

"Perfect for silencing witnesses!"

The palace maid asked, "Then, where can I buy it?"

"Why are you asking about this?!" Sun Jieyu frowned.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just asking casually and didn't mean anything by it."

"That's right, Cailian. Just be a good palace maid! After all, palace maids are a formal position in the Yuan Dynasty. Once you turn 25, you can leave the palace and retire with a pension!"

"At that time, all those men outside will be after your retirement security and will line up to marry you!"

"This servant understands."

However.

Sun Jieyu didn't know.

Cailian already had a wicked plan in mind.

Hmph.

If it's about official status, then it has to be some kind of official position!

I am but a palace maid, and my status is worlds apart from that of a Lady Jieyu.

Why can't I enjoy a higher level of retirement benefits?

If I became the emperor's woman, or the woman of some prince!

My retirement benefits are much better than those of a palace maid!

I don't care about those men outside the palace at all!

but.

The Emperor's thoughts are currently focused on the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Jin.

They had no interest in visiting other palaces.

Even though I am young.

But it doesn't necessarily mean you can seduce the emperor.

Since that's the case.

Being a woman from a royal or noble family is also an option!

Cai Lian began to make plans.

At present.

Ye Xiaochuan would be a suitable candidate.

Perfect.

His father died.

According to the theory of hereditary monarchy.

Ye Xiaochuan is the new Prince Ji.

It just so happens that he's currently unmarried.

If I could become his legal wife.

Then I can finally get rid of my role as a palace maid!

However, Ye Xiaochuan is currently in mourning.

They cannot get married.

So, what if something happened between us?

Ye Xiaochuan had no choice but to admit it!

It just so happens that Ye Xiaochuan has now been observing a six-month mourning period!

The Emperor had previously decreed that Ye Xiaochuan should inherit the throne as soon as possible.

I heard that Ye Xiaochuan is going to enter the palace tomorrow!

All I need is a little brains and some strategy—

Cailian thought for a moment.

After Ye Xiaochuan entered the palace.

She deliberately let Ye Xiaochuan bump into her at the corner!

Then pretend to be unconscious.

Ye Xiaochuan will definitely not abandon her!

What happened next was another plan!

Hmph!

I am such an incredibly intelligent woman!

...

On the way back, Physician Chang.

The scouts indeed appeared and stopped him.

"Imperial Physician Chang! Where are the elixirs?!"

Physician Chang immediately took out the elixir and gave it to the scout.

"The alchemy room is heavily guarded. How did you manage to evade the guards' inspection?!"

The spy, being shrewd, began to question Physician Chang.

Physician Chang had long anticipated that the spy would ask such a question.

So he said.

"I hid the elixir in a place where the guards would never check it."

"Where am I?!"

The scout had a bad feeling.

When he was a Rakshasa.

I once saw someone smuggling personal items out of the palace.

For example, pearls.

The place where they hid their pearls was simply—

It's a long story!

He suspected that Imperial Physician Chang had also hidden the elixir in such a place.

Thinking about this...

The scout looked down on the paper packet containing the pills.

It feels like I'm touching excrement directly!

Physician Chang immediately said, "I hid it inside the sole of my foot! The guards disliked my smelly feet, and as soon as I took off my left shoe, they made me put it back on immediately. Little did they know, the elixir was under the insole!"

"What?!"

The scout felt the paper package in his hand starting to get hot.

"You actually used your stinky feet to step on the pills?!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, the guards are really thorough, they don't miss a single hair! If it weren't for my smelly feet, they would have found out long ago! Do you still want this pill? Don't be fooled by the smell of my feet on the wrapping paper! The pill inside is perfectly fine!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking, or I'll throw up! Now you can leave!"

"Leave? Where's my antidote?!" Doctor Chang asked deliberately.

He certainly didn't care about the antidote.
