Consort Jia was willing to accept small favors, but unfortunately, Wen Yu had long seen through Consort Jia's true colors and completely disdained her attempts to bribe him.
Now, the two of them, mistress and servant, are essentially putting on an act, each with their own agenda.
"This servant thanks Your Highness. It would be best if you could transfer me out, but if not, this servant will have no complaints."
After all, the Imperial Household Department was the Empress's territory. Although the Jin family had power within the Imperial Household Department, they could not openly oppose their superiors.
"It can definitely be adjusted, but there aren't many places with enough oil and grease."
You still need to be mentally prepared that after you get out, there's not much I can help you with; you'll have to rely on yourself.
After speaking softly, Consort Jia picked up her bowl and chopsticks and put rice in her mouth.
Seeing this, Wen Yu quickly prepared dishes for Consort Jia, all of which were Consort Jia's favorite foods.
Unfortunately, Jiafei's appetite has been really poor lately; she basically doesn't want to swallow anymore while eating.
After putting down her chopsticks and taking a few sips of soup to soothe her stomach, Consort Jia stood up and asked, "Have I been eating very little lately?"
Wen Yu nodded, "Your Majesty, may I have someone prepare more appetizing dishes?"
"You drink all sorts of nourishing soups every day; the imperial physician says it will affect your appetite."
Consort Jia frowned. "Is that so?" It seemed that when she was in the palace, the excessive amount of tonic soup she drank did not affect her appetite. However, after leaving the palace, her appetite gradually decreased and her mental state deteriorated.

"Alright, please have the imperial physician come and take a look. If the herbal medicine is not suitable, prescribe a new one."
The Empress hasn't left the game yet; she can't bear to lose her life.
Wen Yu replied, "This servant understands."
Consort Jia turned and summoned the imperial physician, not one of the physicians she usually used, but one with some connection to Qixiang Palace.
The imperial physician didn't say what was wrong with Consort Jia's health, only that the herbal medicine she had been prescribed was a bit too strong and that some of the herbs could be changed to adjust it.
Consort Jia asked Wen Yu to handle this matter for her. Wen Yu turned around and saw the imperial physician off, and took the opportunity to retrieve the new prescription for the medicine.
The medicine was sent to the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau for a junior eunuch to prepare, which the junior eunuch found quite strange.
Why take the exact same medicinal herbs in two separate doses?
The mistresses of the harem are all truly unpredictable.
