Ye Ling knew, of course, that Cai Die had been used by Sun Jieyu from beginning to end.

I didn't originally intend to punish her.

"You can go out now."

"yes."

After Cai Die left.

Ye Ling dismissed everyone else!

"The reason you look so young is because you threatened Imperial Physician Chang and he gave you the Rejuvenation Pill."

Sun Jieyu immediately denied it.

"Your Majesty, I didn't! I made myself look younger by using makeup!"

"Really? Then put on makeup now to look younger."

"this--"

Ye Ling kicked Sun Jieyu.

"Even at this point, you still dare to deceive me! I already know what you've done. How long do you think you can keep it a secret!"

Sun Jieyu lowered her head guiltily.

"But Your Majesty, after I took the elixir, my face should remain young!"

"Isn't that how the Emperor is?"

Ye Ling sneered.

Do you really think I've taken that kind of elixir?

Ye Ling picked up a towel and wiped her face.

His face looks like that of someone in their forties.

Sun Jieyu was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, you—"

"This is what a youthful appearance truly looks like, restored through makeup!"

"I did this simply to deceive the Rakshasa Queen and make her believe that such an elixir exists."

"I never imagined you'd be thinking about something like this! Trying every possible way to make yourself younger!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

Sun Jieyu didn't know how to continue.

She finally understood why her face had become like this.

"Your Majesty, please save me!"

"Even if it means going back to how it was at the beginning, I would be willing!"

You reap what you sow!

"You brought this face on yourself! You have to bear the consequences!"

After saying that.

Ye Ling turned and left.

Sun Jieyu immediately jumped out of bed.

He grabbed the emperor's leg.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to save me! I really don't want to end up looking like this, neither human nor ghost!"

"I cannot face anyone like this!"

Ye Ling suddenly thought of something.

"In that case, I will make arrangements for you."

Sun Jieyu was overjoyed.

She thought Ye Ling was going to save her.

He said immediately.

"emperor--"

"Guards, lock Consort Sun in the Cold Palace and never let her out! Let her die in there!"

"My beloved concubine, by locking you up in the Cold Palace, you'll never have to worry about being unable to face anyone again! Isn't this arrangement wonderful?"

"ah?!"

Sun Jieyu was stunned.

"Your Majesty, this concubine's life would be worse than death!"

"It's better to be alive than dead. If you were to live a good life, wouldn't all my acting skills these past few days have been wasted?"

"Your Majesty, you—"

Sun Jieyu was dumbfounded.

"All this time, your favor towards me has been a lie?!"

"Otherwise what? Do you really think I fell in love with you because of your youthful appearance?"

"Wake up! I'm already over 40. I know all too well that a woman's attractive qualities have never been her looks!"

The eunuch had already entered.

They dragged Sun Jieyu away.

Sun Jieyu shouted.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Spare me! I know I was wrong."

The day Sun Jieyu was imprisoned in the Cold Palace.

He went mad.

Looking at her gray-haired self in the mirror, she muttered to herself as she did her makeup.

"I am the most beautiful woman in this deep palace, and the Emperor's favorite has always been me alone."

Ye Ling learned of this.

They directly poisoned her.

"Keeping this crazy woman in the cold palace is just a waste of food; it's better to just kill her."

After news of Consort Sun's affair spread throughout the palace...

Those concubines who originally had the same idea immediately gave up their hopes.

"This is terrifying! I never imagined that the pill was actually poison!"

"Fortunately, I didn't act rashly and try to get this kind of pill from Imperial Physician Chang. Otherwise, I would be the one locked up in the cold palace and sentenced to death now."

"It seems that I really can't use such underhanded methods to gain favor in the future."

Zhao Changzai is not having an easy time here either.

She was even more frightened after learning the truth!

Because what they got from Physician Chang was the elixir of rejuvenation!

She fears that one day she will suffer the same fate as Sun Jieyu!

The red spots on my face are still there.

And it's becoming more and more popular.

Seeing it so late at night, I thought I'd seen a ghost.

Zhao Changzai endured the ordeal.

Finally, the long-awaited Imperial Physician Chang came to work at the Imperial Hospital.

Zhao Changzai immediately went to see Physician Chang to treat her illness.

"Imperial Physician Chang, quickly detoxify me! I don't want to reverse my aging! I just want to die of old age naturally now."

"That's what Physician Chang said."

"Your Majesty need not worry. What I gave you was not an elixir of youth."

"It's a elixir to replenish qi and blood. The Empress's complexion is becoming increasingly rosy, which is the result of regulating her qi and blood!"

"It will naturally return to normal in a couple of days."

Zhao Changzai breathed a sigh of relief.

"So that's how it is!"

"But why does my face often feel itchy?"

Of course, it's because it contains ingredients that cause skin allergies.

Don't forget, I'm the imperial physician!
