She thought that the emperor's private treasury contained all sorts of treasures, and perhaps she could find medicinal herbs suitable for her alchemy.
For example, relics from the East, etc.
The elixir to help her achieve "fake death" as soon as possible is the Turtle Breath Pill.
Afterwards, Li Shengyuan also rewarded Li Changyu, who played the flute, with a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Seeing that he had failed to embarrass Mi Shan and instead made her and Li Changyu shine, the eldest prince pressed his tongue against his inner palate, revealing a hint of displeasure.
"Your mother is very talented, I admire her greatly."
He finished speaking with his hands clasped in greeting.
Mi Shan smiled slightly and nodded at him, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
At the subsequent banquet, Li Shengyuan had women on either side of him, frequently placing his arms around Mi Shan and Bai Lingyu's shoulders.
Drunk,
He even had a smug and self-satisfied expression.
Looking at this scene, Li Changyu felt inexplicably irritated, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart, growing stronger and stronger.
Like him, Li Xuanche also couldn't understand what he was unhappy about. He kept thinking about how he almost made Mi Shan his woman in the cave last time.
Looking back now, I feel resentful.
But he knew that such a thought was ridiculous; it was originally just to annoy the Crown Prince.
Thinking this, Li Xuanche glanced at the Crown Prince again.
Li Changyu remained calm, occasionally glancing at his father and Mi Shan, but mostly keeping his eyes downcast, holding his wine cup in one hand and slowly drinking.
Could it be that he and Mi Shan...
It wasn't what he thought?
"Che'er, what's wrong with you today? You've been drinking so much." Empress Rouci frowned and silently stopped his wine cup. "Drink less, your health is important."

See?
Your mother is concerned about me again.
As a result, Li Changyu seemed not to hear them at all, and did not take them seriously.
Just like a thousand times before,
Li Xuanche couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated.
Empress Rouci was also tired; she had no desire to attend such a banquet in the first place.
Besides, she had arranged for the palace maids to drop glass beads at Mi Shan, so it wasn't appropriate for her to stay any longer.
"Your Majesty, my headache has flared up again, and I would like to return to the palace to rest."
After Empress Rouci finished speaking, she slowly rose to her feet.
The emperor was about to wave his hand,
At this moment—
Prince Rui returned with his entourage.
"Father, I've caught the people who made the beads! They're the eunuchs from these workshops!"
"They've all confessed!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Empress.
"Please, Your Majesty, stay and discuss with us how to deal with these palace servants."
Lin Zhaoyuan's face turned deathly pale, and she raised her hand to cover her face with a handkerchief.
"Tell me, who ordered you to make this batch of beads?" Li Shengyuan asked domineeringly.
Faced with the emperor's intimidation, they trembled and knelt down.
