I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Li Rui's deep eyes held a barely perceptible smile as he continued to tease her: "It's the method you thought of."

An Muxi rolled her eyes in her heart, what the hell is the method I thought of.

She still remembers her first time sleeping with him. Afterwards, she felt like she had been run over and trembled when she walked. Especially that part, which was swollen for several days.

Thinking about it now, I am still a little scared. This man is not worth it, otherwise I will end up in his bed sooner or later.

I don't feel any discomfort all over my body now, so it shouldn't be that kind. I didn't expect Li Rui to be such a gentleman this time and not touch me.

Some subtle feelings arise in my heart.

An Muxi knew medicine, so she quickly confirmed her thoughts, and said to Li Rui sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for this time. I was careless for a moment and caused trouble to the palace..."

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became, and she felt like she no longer had the energy to continue.

Li Rui looked at him and pretended to be angry and said, "So you admit your mistakes every time, but you don't plan to change?"

An Muxi felt very aggrieved. She had brought two maids who knew martial arts with her this time, but they still fell into the trap. There was nothing she could do. There were always villains who wanted to harm her.

It seems I need to make some antidote and carry it with me next time.

An Muxi said a little aggrievedly: "I don't know why I am so unlucky. I even met bad people in a theater. Should I go to the temple to pray?"

Suddenly she had an idea. She had never been to the temple here. She could go and see it when she had the chance.

Li Rui didn't mean to blame her anymore, knowing that she was just lively and active, but he liked her, so what could he do? He could only protect her silently.

"Would you like to get up and have some breakfast with me?"

When An Muxi heard this, her stomach growled. She had been hungry ever since she was sent back yesterday. She was indeed hungry.

Li Rui also heard her stomach growling. He chuckled and called the two maids outside the door to help An Muxi get up and wash.

Then they went to the main hall and had breakfast together.

During the meal, An Muxi secretly looked at Li Rui and felt that he had changed, but she couldn't tell where the difference was.

Li Rui didn't look at her, letting her look at him, and suddenly asked, "Does it look good?"

An Muxi almost spit out the food in her mouth, coughed a few times, and then said: "The prince is handsome and graceful, so he is naturally good-looking."

Li Rui's lips curled up slightly, but he asked calmly, "Do you like it?"

An Muxi couldn't eat anymore. How to answer? Tell the truth? I dare not! Tell a lie? I feel bad.

After all, Li Rui was pretty nice to her, and he could have rejected many of her requests, but he agreed to them all.

Li Rui was very good, but she couldn't afford him. She really didn't intend to be someone's concubine. Even if he treated her well, she was just one of his many women. This was something she could never accept.

Now the relationship between the two is really a bit awkward. Fortunately, Li Rui is still a gentleman and does not force himself to fulfill the obligations of a concubine in the palace.

Otherwise there would be no one to turn to.

An Muxi laughed dryly and said, "Look at what you said, Your Majesty. How could there be any woman in the backyard of the palace who doesn't like Your Majesty?"

Li Rui sighed in his heart. It seemed that she didn't speak her true feelings. Well, he couldn't push her too hard.

"You should eat more. I'm done. I still have things to deal with. You can go back by yourself later."

After saying that, Li Rui left.

As soon as he left, An Muxi relaxed a lot and ate a little more before getting up.

I thought about thanking Princess Rui, but I didn't have any presents to give.

By the way, I can make some pills and give them to the princess. My pills are worth some money if they are left out.

Thinking of this, she took Xiaoqin and Xiaoyun to Doctor Gao's yard. Doctor Gao was drying medicinal herbs in the yard with a little medicine boy.

Seeing An Muxi, he smiled and greeted her: "Ms. An, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

An Muxi nodded awkwardly: "Dr. Gao prescribed the antidote for me yesterday, right? Thank you very much."

Doctor Gao didn't ask much about yesterday's events: "I wonder what brings you here today?"

He knew Li Rui's feelings for this woman, and he also liked An Muxi's straightforward and unfeminine character.

What's more, she shares the same interests as me and we are both interested in medicine.

So he was always polite to An Muxi. Normally, he never liked anyone except the prince.

In fact, he didn't know that An Muxi was not so keen on medical skills. She was just forced to learn it, but she was extremely talented. If Doctor Gao knew this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. This was a gift from God.

An Muxi didn't hesitate and said directly: "I want to borrow your herbs and tools to make some pills. Is that okay?"

After saying that, he quickly added: "If it doesn't work, I can give you silver."

Doctor Gao smiled. How could he miss this opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep? Besides, the herbs here were all bought for him by the palace, so he had nothing to lose.

So he said, "Of course, but I have a small request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

An Muxi was stunned. He even made a request to her? But thinking of Dr. Gao's obsession with medical skills, she had some guesses in her mind.

"Don't know what the request is? Tell me about it."

Doctor Gao said, "Can you show me the recipe for making the pills?"

When An Muxi heard this, she realized it was true. In fact, she didn't have any special obsession with the prescriptions. After all, most of them were good ways to save lives, and it would be a good thing to spread them around.

As long as the other party is not using this to make money, she is happy to teach.

As for those recipes that harm people, she will not pass them on to others.

Thinking of this, she readily agreed.

Doctor Gao took her to the same pharmacy as last time and then left.

An Muxi thought this was a good opportunity to allow Xiaoyun to open the drawer freely and identify the medicinal materials.

Xiaoyun was very excited. It was the first time for her to see so many medicinal herbs. She had already read those books before, but had never had the opportunity to come into contact with medicinal herbs.

The medicinal herbs in the book are all drawn with simple patterns, and actually seeing these herbs gives you a different feeling.

Xiaoqin helped her make medicine. I have to say that Xiaoqin is actually very smart and can learn anything once she is taught.

An Muxi explained to Xiaoyun some methods of making pills, and the three of them quickly made 4 bottles of pills together.

Two of them were detoxifying pills, and two were whitening pills. Naturally, she also kept one for herself.

An Muxi took a pen and paper and wrote two prescriptions. She went out and gave them to Dr. Gao, then left with Xiaoyun and Xiaoqin.

It was on the way that she learned that Xiaoyun had come back with Uncle Zhang yesterday. She didn't know what happened to Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue, as she hadn't seen them today.

I'd better wait until I send this pill to the princess and then go back and ask about the situation.

After passing through a corridor and arriving at the Moon-Watching Pavilion where the princess lived, she asked the maid at the door to go in and inform them.

Soon the maid came out and invited her in. Xiaoqin and Xiaoyun were stopped outside the door.

An Muxi entered the Moon-Watching Pavilion and saw Princess Rui sitting at the top, looking at her with a smile.

She was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects to Wen An. Then she took out the two porcelain bottles and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your help yesterday. Otherwise, I really don't dare to think about what the consequences would be."

"I really don't know how to thank you, so I made two kinds of pills as a thank you gift. Please accept them."

Lu Qingxue knew about Li Rui's situation, and also knew that An Muxi was knowledgeable in medicine, so she asked the maid to take the porcelain bottle, open it and smell it. The aroma of medicine was so strong that it was obviously a top-quality pill.

She smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. You're very polite."

An Muxi said: "Please don't be polite. Without you, I would probably be put in a pig cage now."

Lu Qingxue chuckled and said, "You knew that, too? And you dare to run around like that. If the maid and I hadn't learned some martial arts yesterday, you would have been in real danger."

"Do you think you'll be safe with those two little maids? There are all kinds of people out there, you'd better learn a lesson. Li Rui is busy with many things and has no time to take care of you, so you'd better wish for the best."

An Muxi felt that Princess Rui was very much to her liking, and the two of them could chat together naturally, forgetting their identities while talking. Lu Qingxue didn't care at all that she didn't use honorifics.

An Muxi replied: "I understand. I will be more careful in the future. By the way, one bottle of this pill is whitening pills, and the other bottle is detoxification pills."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper with the effects and usage written on it and handed it to Lu Qingxue. She took the paper, looked at it, and nodded secretly. These two bottles are indeed good stuff.

Especially the detoxification pill, the instructions say it can cure all kinds of poisons, including some common aphrodisiacs. It's a good idea to carry it with you when you go out.

She said without hesitation, "Then I'll take it. I didn't expect your medical skills to be quite high."

She sighed: "I hope Li Rui can gather all the herbs soon. He has suffered a lot over the years."
