Consort Sun, of course, had no idea what the Emperor was really thinking.
Ye Ling simply fell in love with her again because of her youthful face.
This also made Consort Sun understand a principle in the harem.
Don't try to create a gentle and virtuous persona. Being virtuous is useless; you have to be beautiful.
Now that she has her winning formula, it's only natural.
She was confident that she could keep the emperor's favor.
Of course.
If one day...
She was tired of this kind of life.
They will stop taking the elixir of youth and then let themselves die of old age naturally.
Ye Ling said: You're overthinking it.
Being pretty is very useful, but of course, if you add the card of being virtuous, then you have a winning hand.
This card is beautiful, as long as it's played as a single card.
Then it will inevitably lead to a dead end.
Ye Ling looked at Sun Jieyu and said.
"Alright, the tea has been served. You should go back to the palace and rest early."
I'd rather avoid feeling annoyed just looking at your face.
Sun Jieyu, however, said...
"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and cannot accompany me. I will stay here with Your Majesty."
Stay with me?
You have such a big ego!
I am in the Hall of Mental Cultivation precisely to avoid you.
How dare you bother me!
I wish I could see your face rot away right now!
Ye Ling said.
"Your appearance has just begun to look younger, and staying up all night with me like this is not good for your appearance."
"I can't bear to see you grow old, so you should go back and rest."
Sun Jieyu touched her face.
So the Emperor actually cares about me this much?
Since that's the case.
I'd better go back and rest.
Don't let staying up late make me age prematurely!
"Then I shall take my leave!"
Consort Sun left the Hall of Mental Cultivation soon after.
They went back to the palace.
Ye Ling immediately instructed Gao Yong to take the tea away.
"Is Qianqian back?"
"Your Majesty, the little princess has been sent back by Prince Ji and is now asleep."
Ye Ling nodded.
"That's good. This girl is playful and actually stayed outside the palace for a whole day. As she grows older, I'm afraid it will be harder and harder to keep her in the palace."
"So, what does His Majesty mean?"
"Let her be. She's my only daughter. I'll let her do whatever she wants!"
"Qianqian is a sensible person, I believe she won't cause any trouble."
"Also, is there any news from the Rakshasa Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, the scouts have not yet returned, but they should be here in the next day or two."
...
In the Kingdom of Rakshasa.
The empress was initially wary of the anti-aging elixir.
"Let's test the medicine on a maid first. Once she really becomes younger, then I'll take the medicine myself."
"yes!"
His men immediately seized a maid.
They forced the palace maid to take the medicine.
The maid fainted on the spot after taking the medicine!
The queen was startled.
"This medicine is fake!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be hasty. Wait and see! The poison in Physician Chang's body has not been completely cured yet!"
"He wouldn't dare give us fake medicine!"
The Empress remained deeply worried.
She dared not take the pill until the maid's appearance was completely changed.
The next morning.
The Empress has just woken up.
She saw the maid from yesterday standing in front of her.
"Your Majesty."
Because the maid had been taking care of her since she was young.
The Queen recognized her as she was in her youth.
"You, your face—"
The maid was also delighted.
"Your Majesty, I never expected that I would become younger after waking up one night!"
The Empress was overjoyed.
"So, this pill is real!"
"If I, the Empress, were to consume this, my appearance would surely be restored overnight, wouldn't it?"
The maid nodded.
"I think it should be like this!"
The empress immediately swallowed the elixir.
"Okay, let's go to sleep now! Let's see if your appearance has returned when you wake up tomorrow morning!"
The empress lay back down as she spoke.
The maid was somewhat bewildered.
I just woke up.
Is Her Majesty the Queen really able to sleep right now?
Then.
The Queen is really asleep.
The maid frowned.
Is it because I'm getting older, and as people age, I'm sleeping more and more frequently?
...
Dayuan Palace.
After Sun Jieyu woke up one night.
I discovered that I actually look much younger than I did yesterday.
Sun Jieyu looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
"Wow, I look 20 years younger! I look exactly like I did when I was 20!"
"In this harem, there is no one more beautiful than me!"
"I'll go out for a walk now and let the people in the palace see!"
Sun Jieyu quickly put on some makeup and went out.
The palace maids were shocked when they saw this.
People started whispering behind their backs.
"How come Sun Jieyu suddenly looks so much younger?!"
"I heard that she became younger after taking the elixir of rejuvenation made by Physician Chang!"
"Is this elixir really that powerful? If every concubine in the harem had one, wouldn't everyone be immune to aging?!"
"The Emperor will then be able to see the young and beautiful Empress forever!"
