"Rules are more important than anything else. Go back to Yanxi Palace and do your job well. You must wear the sachet I gave you that day every day to remind you not to make the same mistake again!"

"Yes......"

Seeing this, Yu Ying'er knew that it was useless to beg anymore, so she could only retreat with a look of despair on her face.

At this time, only the queen, her master and her servant were left in the hall.

Jianqiu asked:

"If the Empress asks, the Emperor will certainly give her face. Why not do her a favor and let Yu serve the Empress loyally in the future?"

The Queen handed the calligraphy of the word "Abandon" to Jianqiu and asked her to sort it out. Then she said:

"Since the Emperor has already said that she can never sleep with him, then what's the point of me keeping her? If she needs to be discarded, then she can be discarded... Besides, if she stays in Yanxi Palace with the sachet, she can definitely make use of her remaining usefulness."

......

After I finished reading, I asked the oleander elf to leave.

As I finished speaking, the oleander elf's faint light flickered slightly, and then dissipated into nothingness, leaving only the fragrance of flowers and tranquility in the room.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart. Everything in this world has its value and meaning, but once it loses its value of use, it will be like an abandoned chess piece, and it will be difficult to get the attention and compassion of others.

Just like Yu Ying'er, she once won the emperor's favor and favour with her moving singing voice. For a time, she was extremely famous and became the focus of everyone's attention in the harem.

The good times did not last long. When her singing could no longer move the emperor's heart, she completely lost her foothold in the harem.

The queen, a woman who seemed compassionate but was actually scheming, did not hesitate to treat her as a useless chess piece, leaving her to fend for herself without any care or favor.

Perhaps, each of us is just a chess piece in this palace struggle. Only by taking every step carefully can we protect ourselves and seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

She secretly asked Yu Ying'er to carry the musk sachet and wander around the Yanx Palace day after day, attempting to use her invisible poisonous hand to deprive the concubines in the Yanx Palace of their right to have children.

Fortunately, I replaced Yu Ying'er's musk sachet with something harmless.

I know the Queen very well. She is cruel and ruthless and will do anything to achieve her goals. But I know even more clearly that the best way to make someone betray me completely is to make her despair first.

Therefore, I deliberately let Yu Ying'er go to beg the Queen, hoping that Yu Ying'er could truly see the Queen's cold and ruthless eyes, so that she would give up and completely destroy her loyalty to the Queen.

And I want to use this resentment to make Yu Ying'er work for me wholeheartedly in the future.

"Little Master..."

Not long after, Yu Ying'er returned to the Yanx Palace and told me tearfully that the Queen had refused to help her.

I said a few words to comfort her, and then told her:

"Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly."

Yu Ying'er nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.

At this time, Baojuan came in:

"My lady, the imperial physician sent by the Emperor is here to take your pulse."

"Let him in."

I asked Yu Ying'er to wipe her tears and said I would talk to her in detail after taking her pulse.

Yu Ying'er nodded, wiped her tears, and stood aside.

At this time, an imperial physician walked in. It was Wei Lin.

I still remember him. The one who replaced Wen Shichu after Wen Shichu got into trouble and became Zhen Huan's confidant.

Later, he was strongly promoted by Zhen Huan and gradually ascended to the high position of the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Wei Lin is a man of superb medical skills, meticulous mind, cautious and intelligent, and he also understands the ways of the world.

He always manages to resolve crises for Zhen Huan at critical moments.

However, at this time, Wei Lin had not had any in-depth contact with Zhen Huan and was just a minor imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital.

The Imperial Hospital sent him here at this moment, probably because my position is just a small concubine and I am not valued in the harem.

I have been secretly planning this in my mind for a long time, and I know very well that in order to gain a firm foothold in this harem, in addition to the emperor's favor, I also need the help of reliable confidants.

As an indispensable role in the harem, the imperial physician has always been on the lookout for an imperial physician to be my confidant. Now, Wei Lin's arrival is undoubtedly a great opportunity bestowed upon me by God.

"Greetings to An Changzai. I am here to take the young lady's pulse."

After that, Wei Lin took my pulse and looked at my ankle:

"My lord, you are alright. Congratulations, my lord, you are safe and happy."

Of course I'm fine. I was just pretending.

I lied and said that I was taking Dong'e Ejiao to replenish my qi and blood, and then sent Yu Ying'er out first.

I raised my hand gently, with some gentle concern:

"Doctor Wei, I've heard that being the lowest-ranking doctor in the Imperial Hospital isn't easy. You're swamped with trivial matters and have to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships. It's truly not easy."

"My lady, you are absolutely right. Although there are many highly skilled doctors in the Imperial Hospital, it would be extremely difficult for them to gain a foothold in the palace without the support of someone in a higher position."

I understand:

"Doctor Wei, you are an excellent doctor and a humble and polite person. I see it with my own eyes and remember it in my heart. Don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future."

When Wei Lin heard this, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes:

"Thank you for your kindness, my lady. I am deeply grateful. If Your Majesty has any mission in the future, I will be happy to help you."

I smiled slightly, pointed to the sheep-horn lamps and some porcelain utensils that I had agreed to use, and said:

"Doctor Wei, this is a small gift from me. Please accept it. It is also a token of my trust and expectation in you."

I know that if I use this little thing just to win people's hearts, it will only seem very stingy.

I just wanted to test it out and see if he would accept it.

As the saying goes, where there is demand there is a breakthrough. If he accepts it, then our future relationship can be long-lasting and we can each get what we need.

What's more, I have no use for this thing that I promised to regulate, and I can't sell it. If I give it to the oleander elf, it will only be one tenth of the profit. It is better to give it away as a reward now.

Wei Lin looked at what I pointed at, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly nodded firmly:

"Thank you for your gift, my lord. I will treasure it like a treasure."

Seeing Wei Lin happily accept it, I was secretly happy in my heart, knowing that he could be won over by me.

So, I struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"Doctor Wei, you've been working quietly at the bottom of the Imperial Hospital. And I'm just a lowly concubine, with little support in this harem."

Wei Lin heard this, his eyes were firm, as if he understood what I meant:

"Your Majesty is right. Although we are all on the edge of this harem, we still have a long future ahead of us."

I nodded with satisfaction, and looking at Wei Lin's determined eyes, I knew that I had successfully won over this highly skilled imperial physician, and he would become a great help in my fight for favor and power in the harem in the future.

I said to Wei Lin:

"Doctor Wei, I've been having a rather troubling situation lately, and I'm hoping you can help me solve it. For the past few days, I've been experiencing an indescribable odor permeating the room, which is truly unsettling. Could you help me find the source of this odor?"
