"Yes, it was all my own idea."
Ah Xiang sent someone to Liangxiao Palace to inquire. After a cup of tea, the palace maid came back to answer.
"In reply to Sister Axiang, I heard that things are going awry in Liangxiao Palace. The eldest prince has been disobedient and has been defiant to the Emperor, receiving numerous beatings. Two of the finger-thick rulers were broken. He's currently hanging in the scorching sun. I saw from afar that his lips are dry and chapped, and his clothes are covered in blood. Eunuch Shuangxi's apprentice is personally guarding him, and Concubine Xi is crying like a tearful child."
When the palace maid replied, Concubine Chen was holding a book in her hand. She didn't read a single word and listened attentively to the palace maid's reply.
"What else?"
"That's all I have. I wanted to take a closer look, but then Concubine Mei came with her people.

"Okay, go down and take these golden pumpkin seeds."
"Thank you, Sister Xiang, for the reward."
Ah Xiang gave a handful of golden melon seeds to the palace maid, and then broke off a plate of cakes for her.

She placed the medicine heavily on the table and said with a stern face, "Why are you looking at me?"
"My lady, you appear cold on the outside but are warm on the inside."
"Who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside? I don't care about the Liangxiao Palace's affairs at all. I have plenty of golden medicine for wounds. I'll give you a bottle. If you want to give it to others, you can give it. If you don't want to give it to others, I'll keep it for myself."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and deliver the medicine to the eldest prince."
