Master Goufu replied, "This is the Mi River."
"Mi Shui?"
"Yes. In my early years, I traveled the world and captured a mountain beast on an unnamed island. Unlike other powerful mountain beasts, it was very weak; even a seven-year-old child could probably kill it. However, its illusion magic was extremely powerful, even capable of changing a person's nature. To tell you the truth, I was originally a wandering Taoist priest, but after being affected by its illusion magic, I lost all desire for matters between men and women and became a completely detached person who had seen through the illusions of the world."
"That sounds good too, I can focus on my cultivation," Emperor Xingwen said with a smile.
Master Goufu said, "That is indeed the case. It is precisely for this reason that I severed ties with my family and entered the Buddhist path."
"And this Mi Shui?" Emperor Xingwen looked at the porcelain bottle.
Master Goufu said, “This is the inner core of that magical beast, refined from it. Its effects are only more powerful than the magical beast’s illusions. I have heard that King Chongyang loves his queen dearly, and even wants to make her empress in order to win her favor. Therefore, I want to give this bottle of Mi Water to that queen. The hatred of the one she loves will make her wish she were dead, a torment more painful than physical suffering.”
"What if he no longer cares about that woman? He used to dote on one of my nieces, but he changed his mind just like that."
"There is only one woman he can elevate to the position of empress. I am quite certain that once that princess drinks the mi water, he will be in unbearable pain."
"Since the real person is so certain, what help do you need from me?" Emperor Xingwen had already lost interest by this point.
Judging others by his own standards, a woman is nothing more than a piece of clothing to him; if she doesn't suit his taste, he can simply replace her with a more pleasing one.
In his eyes, Fu Yunchen was someone similar to himself. He wouldn't be swayed by a mere woman.
The reason they would elevate her to the position of queen is probably because they don't want to break their promise not to become emperor, and besides, she's just a puppet who can be replaced at any time.
"Give this bottle of miraculous water to that woman."
"With a real person's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"The Chongyang Palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for this humble Taoist to enter," said Master Goufu.
Emperor Xingwen didn't believe it, there must be other reasons, but since he didn't say, he was too lazy to ask. "If you help, the real person will owe me a favor."
"This humble Taoist can cure Your Majesty's illness and also enable Your Majesty to give birth to a son," replied Master Goufu.
Emperor Xingwen's expression changed drastically as he looked at Master Goufu with a serious expression. "Very well, I have a spy who has been hiding in Bianyun Village for many years. If you can truly accomplish this, I can avenge you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Master Goufu, bowing respectfully.
...
Mu Run took the remaining autumn tea and roasted it again to enhance its aroma. In particular, she refined the tea that she had previously said she would send to Long Qian, and had Fu Yunchen send someone to deliver it to him.
Fu Yunchen held the tea he was going to give to Long Qian. He could smell the rich aroma of the tea even through the bag, and he felt a little reluctant to part with it.
After secretly brewing a cup, it was indeed an excellent tea, just as he had expected. He kept a few brews, leaving about one and a half pounds of tea, before having Huihui deliver it to Long Qian.
Long Qian received the tea from Mu Run and initially paid it no mind, but after tasting it, he became completely captivated...
"This is really good tea. I didn't expect her to have this skill."
"Your Majesty, is your body fit to drink this?"
"It's quite rare, isn't it? It's not only not unpleasant to drink, but it's also very pleasant. It's the kind of taste that those little things like."

Good night~
