The Crown Prince had always suffered from headaches. Half a year ago, Liang Qiuli specially administered medicine, which made his headaches even more severe. He couldn't sleep well for many days in a row.

Consider this a small punishment given to the Crown Prince on behalf of the original owner.

The medicine that Liang Qiuli asked Zishuang to take was a good medicine that could relieve the prince's headache - calming incense.

The reason the Crown Prince has been willing to visit Consort Hu recently is because of An Shengxiang.

Liang Qiuli moved into Consort Hu's palace. Consort Hu discovered that Liang Qiuli was not favored by the Crown Prince, so she often summoned her to learn the rules.

Gradually, her main hall also became imbued with the calming fragrance emanating from Liang Qiuli.

The Crown Prince visited Consort Hu twice and found that her headaches were somewhat relieved in her palace, so he visited her palace even more frequently.

"Yes, I'll go when the person arrives."

Zi Shuang was given a loyalty charm by Liang Qiuli, so she would not question Liang Qiuli's orders in any way.

……

It was just past midnight.

The Crown Prince had only been asleep for a short time when he opened his eyes, looked at Consort Hu, whose face was rosy and who was fast asleep beside him, and frowned.

For some reason, his temples started to ache again, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

This is actually an old problem.

He grew up in a cold palace, enduring countless cold stares and suffering from illnesses that he could only endure by enduring, which led to a chronic headache.

After that, he went through a lot of trouble, step by step, from the cold palace to the empress's adopted son, and now to the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. His headache problem has become more and more serious.

But recently, perhaps due to the immense pressure from the previous dynasty, his headaches, which were originally just occasional, have now flared up almost every night, preventing him from sleeping peacefully.

The imperial physician examined her and prescribed some calming medicine, but it wasn't very effective.

He had finally found that Hu Liangdi's place could help him sleep peacefully, but now it seems that it's not having any effect anymore.

He sat up irritably and shouted outside.

"Come in and serve us. We're going back to the Eastern Palace."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince~"

Before the eunuch outside could enter, Consort Hu woke up and tried to persuade the Crown Prince to stay.

The Crown Prince, however, had little patience and waved his hand, saying, "You continue sleeping, I have other matters to attend to."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Li to come in and serve him, he put on his coat and strode away.

Once we return to the East Pole Palace...

"Your Highness, there is still some time before the morning court session. Would you like to rest a while longer?"

"The Imperial Hospital just sent over some calming incense; let me light it for you."

When Xiao Li Zi was in Hu Liangdi's palace, he presented the calming incense that Zi Shuang had sent to the Crown Prince.

Xiao Li was from the same hometown as the original owner of this body. She had a good relationship with Xiao Li when she was still a palace maid in the Dongji Palace.

Liang Qiuli naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so she directly gave Xiao Li a loyalty charm. With her inside man by the Crown Prince's side, things would be much easier from then on.

Little Li carefully observed the Crown Prince's expression, and saw that the Crown Prince's expression was not unusual.

But the crown prince didn't even nod before sitting down at his desk and starting to review the memorials.

Little Li knew that the Crown Prince had given up hope on the calming incense from the Imperial Hospital and wasn't planning to sleep tonight.

He quickly lit the calming incense and then left.

Feng, the eunuch beside the Crown Prince, glanced at Xiao Li. How come he didn't know about the calming incense sent from the Imperial Hospital?

This young man is quite old, yet he already knows how to curry favor with the Crown Prince.

He wanted to find an opportunity to teach Little Li a lesson and let him know who was the most trusted chief eunuch in the Eastern Palace.

The crown prince had no interest in the convoluted thoughts of the person below him.

He had eliminated most of the old emperor's sons, leaving only a few mediocre ones who were not worthy of competing with him, so he had secured his position as crown prince.

However, the old emperor's health has recently deteriorated, and he has begun to delegate more power to him, so he has started to have more things to do.

Since I have a headache and can't sleep, I might as well continue dealing with government affairs.

But for some reason, the calming incense made him feel a little sleepy.

His eyelids gradually grew heavy, and he actually fell asleep sitting at his desk.

Eunuch Feng originally wanted to call someone to help the Crown Prince to bed, but considering that the Crown Prince was a light sleeper, he simply covered the Crown Prince with a cloak and then dismissed everyone.

……

The next day.

"My lady, today is the day to distribute the allowance and charcoal, but when I went to collect them, I was told that they had all been taken by Consort Hu's people, and that I should go and ask Consort Hu for them."

As autumn progressed, the sun rose later and later, so Liang Qiuli didn't get up early. Hearing Zishuang say this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You help me wash up, and I'll go get it myself later."

Liang Qiuli has been bullied by Hu Liangdi a lot these days. She is either accused of being disrespectful and forced to kneel as punishment, or accused of not knowing the rules and forced to copy the "Precepts for Women".

Previously, Liang Qiuli had no one to protect her, so she never retaliated against Hu Liangdi.

But the Crown Prince left late last night, and I believe Little Li won't let her down. At the latest, before noon, the Crown Prince will know that the calming incense was sent by her.

She should teach Hu Liangdi a lesson.

"Oh, what a rare guest! Lady Liang actually came to pay her respects to our Lady Liang today. It seems she has thoroughly copied those precepts for women."

As the weather turned cold, Hu Liangdi naturally couldn't come out to see Liang Qiuli in person. Her head maid, Hongxiu, spoke arrogantly to Liang Qiuli.

He even looked Liang Qiuli up and down. Her clothes were worse than those of a maid. What was there to put on airs for her?

Ignoring Hongxiu's sarcasm, Liang Qiuli calmly and confidently stated the purpose of her visit.

"Miss Hongxiu, the servants around Liangdi have taken my allowance and charcoal. I wonder if Liangdi knows about this?"

Liang Qiuli spoke calmly.

"Is this happening?"

Hongxiu saw that Liang Qiuli still had that annoying look in her eyes, and she didn't want her to take away the allowance and charcoal so easily.

"Could it be that Liang Gengyi's maid embezzled money and deliberately framed our Liangdi?"

Hongxiu retorted lightly, "I just don't want to give you any allowance. Anyway, Liang Gengyi is notoriously easy to bully."

"Hongxiu, who are you talking about? You're the ones who ganged up on our master, and now you're trying to shift the blame?"

Zishuang was furious. She stepped forward and pointed at Hongxiu's nose, cursing.

"You dare point your finger at me? You lot taught her a lesson!"

Hongxiu sneered and gave a wink to the maids behind her.

Several maids stepped forward, intending to teach Zishuang a lesson, but Liang Qiuli suddenly stepped forward, and somehow the maids pushed Liang Qiuli to the ground.

"stop!"

"The prince has arrived!"
