"OK!"
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, her eyes gleaming with trust and expectation. She knew what this promise meant to the Ghost Doctor. She also knew that she had to persevere and find other clues in the palace as soon as possible.
Immediately, the Ghost Doctor turned around, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Xu Yuehuai stood there, watching him leave. Her heart was filled with gratitude and respect, but also with anticipation and unease. She knew the days to come would be even more difficult, but she was prepared.
Deep within the palace, the Ghost Doctor moved through the night like a ghost. His lightness skill was exceptional; he leaped and tumbled across rooftops like a nimble leopard. He knew in his heart that this mission not only concerned Xu Yuehuai's safety but also the fate of the entire four kingdoms.
After some twists and turns, the Ghost Doctor finally arrived at the depths of the General's Mansion. Following the route Xu Yuehuai had given him, he tiptoed to Qi Guze's room, only to find the door not fully closed. He paused slightly, a sense of unease rising within him. He gently pushed the door open, only to find the room silent, with only Qi Guze sitting at the table, lost in thought.
The Ghost Doctor walked up to him and whispered, "Your Highness, I didn't expect to meet you again."
Qi Guze looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Ghost Doctor, it's been a long time!"
"Actually, I came to see you this time because I have something important to discuss..." The Ghost Doctor told him about Xu Yuehuai.
After listening, Qi Guze remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Has she been alright these days?"
The Ghost Doctor nodded: "She's doing very well; she's already become the Empress Dowager's first-class palace maid."
A hint of relief flashed in Qi Guze's eyes. He knew Xu Yuehuai was a smart and courageous woman who would surely be able to establish herself in the palace. At the same time, he also understood what this news meant for him. He had to act quickly and not let Xu Yuehuai down.
The Ghost Doctor looked at him, knowing he was prepared. He took a deep breath, his voice serious: "Your Highness, we must carefully search for Tie Xiong and the others. Once we find them, our subsequent actions will be much safer."
Qi Guze nodded, his eyes shining with determination and conviction: "Okay, I will act with you."
They discussed for a long time afterward, and as night deepened, the Ghost Doctor's figure disappeared into the darkness once more.
Qi Guze sat at the table, continuing to ponder his next plan.
For the sake of peace in the four kingdoms, and for the sake of Xu Yuehuai, he had to do something.
...
Xu Yuehuai's life has now undergone a dramatic transformation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Since she joined the ranks of first-class palace maids in the Empress Dowager's court, her status has risen rapidly, like the rising sun.
Those palace maids who used to look down on her and even boss her around are now like different people, treating her with utmost respect, afraid that the slightest mistake will offend this newly powerful figure.
Xu Yuehuai's daily life became as beautiful as a poem. Every morning, she would busy herself in the Empress Dowager's palace, meticulously preparing medicinal dishes. Her technique was skillful and precise, and each dish contained her deep respect and care for the Empress Dowager. Those colorful and fragrant medicinal dishes were like works of art, pleasing to the eye.
Whenever the Empress Dowager savored these medicinal dishes, a satisfied smile would always grace her face, a smile as warm and bright as the spring sunshine. Seeing the Empress Dowager's satisfied smile, Xu Yuehuai's heart was filled with gratification and joy.
In addition to preparing medicinal meals, Xu Yuehuai would also teach the Empress Dowager some beauty and skincare secrets.
On this day, she stood before the Empress Dowager, respectfully holding a yellowed ancient book in both hands. Her face was radiant with a gentle and respectful smile, and her bright eyes were filled with reverence and respect for the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager sat on an exquisite rosewood chair, her gaze lingering on Xu Yuehuai, revealing a deep trust and reliance.
Xu Yuehuai began to explain the beauty and skincare secrets in the book in a soft, clear voice, like a gentle spring breeze, soothing and refreshing. She explained in detail the effects and uses of each herb, and how they interact to achieve beauty and skincare results. Her explanations were filled with a passion and reverence for her profession, inspiring admiration in everyone present.
The palace maids watching from the sidelines looked on with envy and admiration. Watching Xu Yuehuai's focused and confident demeanor, and listening to her eloquent explanations, they seemed to see a reflection of their own future. They silently vowed to study hard and strive to become indispensable to the Empress Dowager, just like Xu Yuehuai.
The Empress Dowager's face beamed with satisfaction as she looked at Xu Yuehuai, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration. She knew that Xu Yuehuai was not only a skilled physician with extensive professional knowledge, but also a trustworthy and reliable confidante.
With Xu Yuehuai by her side, her life became more colorful, full of joy and hope. She was grateful to Xu Yuehuai for the health and beauty he brought her, just as she was grateful for the renewal of all things in spring.
On one occasion, Xu Yuehuai prepared a special medicinal dish for the Empress Dowager—stewed bird's nest with red dates and goji berries. This dish was not only smooth and tender, but also had excellent nourishing and beautifying effects.
The Empress Dowager praised the dish highly after tasting it, repeatedly commending Xu Yuehuai's superb culinary skills. Xu Yuehuai humbly explained that she had carefully prepared it based on a secret recipe from an ancient book, taking into account the Empress Dowager's physical condition.
The Empress Dowager was deeply moved upon hearing this. She grasped Xu Yuehuai's hand and said, "Yuehuai, you are truly my confidant. You not only care about my health but also constantly pay attention to my appearance. With you by my side, I feel so much more at ease."
Xu Yuehua felt a warm glow in her heart after hearing this, knowing that her efforts and dedication had earned the Empress Dowager's recognition and praise.
Under Xu Yuehuai's meticulous care, the Empress Dowager's health improved day by day, and her appearance radiated youthful beauty.
Xu Yuehuai herself also grew and improved during this process, and her medical skills and beauty knowledge were more widely applied and passed down. She became a role model and example for the palace maids, who all hoped to become indispensable people to the Empress Dowager, just like Xu Yuehuai.
Deep within the imperial palace, in a corner of Anshou Palace, Xu Yuehuai bloomed quietly like a tranquil lotus flower. Her arrival brought unprecedented warmth and care to this ancient palace.
On this day, deep within Anshou Palace, Xu Yuehuai stood in the courtyard. Before her were various rare herbs. Her fingers gently traced each leaf and each flower, as if listening to their voices and understanding their characteristics.
She always has a faint smile on her face, a smile that reflects her love for her work, her pursuit of beauty, and her respect for life.
