Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Hall is located in an excellent location in the central garden of Xingsheng Palace, and it is also a unique place to view the lake, enjoy flowers and admire the moon.

Not far from its next door is the Changqiu Palace, which is currently the palace of the Four Princes.

Changqiu Hall and Weiyang Hall are the two largest temples in the entire Xingsheng Palace, and they are also the two closest luxury palaces to Weiyang Lake in the central garden of Xingsheng Palace.

For the old people in the palace, they all know that although the large-scale Xingsheng Palace is inhabited by princes and princesses with distinguished status, the large and small palaces inside are also dotted.

But what really best demonstrates the status of the prince and princess in the emperor's mind is the Changqiu Hall and the Weiyang Palace.

For a long time, the prince who can live in the Changqiu Palace is usually the candidate for the future prince, just like the fourth prince Chu Xiaoyao, who lives in it at this moment, is already the best candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind, but it has not been announced to the world for the time being.

Since ancient times, the Weiyang Palace has been inhabited by the eldest princess, that is, the first princess of the emperors of all dynasties, which is equivalent to the palace where the emperor's first favorite princess lives.

In the past, it was Chu Yuyao, the daughter of the current concubine, that is, the eldest princess who is the most beloved in the saint today, but after Chu Yuyao got married, she moved out of the Weiyang Palace and lived in the Horse Mansion outside the palace.

Therefore, this Weiyang Palace was empty, as for the palace maids and eunuchs who originally served the eldest princess Chu Yuyao, most of them followed the eldest princess to the Horse Mansion to continue to serve, and a small number stayed, continuing to clean the palace every day, waiting for the new master to move in and then serve well.

Those who can be taken to the Horse Mansion by the eldest princess are naturally palace maids and eunuchs who are relatively good, loyal, and deeply trusted and appreciated by the eldest princess.

And those who stay in the Weiyang Palace are often palace maids and eunuchs who used to like petty theft, made some small mistakes, and had slightly worse character.

Since they did not make any major mistakes, they were not severely punished, such as being sent to the cold palace or even expelled from the palace, but stayed, giving them a chance to mend their ways.

Of course, the palace maids and eunuchs who stay in this vacant palace have a lot worse food and clothing, and it is inevitable that life is more difficult, and they also feel inferior, after all, without the support of the master, they are usually like motherless children, and the palace maids and eunuchs in any palace dare to bully them.

And the internal affairs office, which is responsible for distributing food and clothing to the major palaces, has always climbed high and low, watched the dishes and dishes, and gave this kind of slaves and servants who have no masters how to have a good face, every time they are deducted from their use, so that their lives are tight, it is already a common thing in the palace.

Therefore, over time, these palace maids and eunuchs will inevitably become resentful, sighing all day long, giving no one a good face, and even their tempers have become more and more irritable.

Anyway, no one cares, and I don't eat well, I can't wear warm clothes, and I'm bullied, so I'm even more lazy, and I break the jar.

For them, what they are looking forward to all day long is nothing more than that they can have a new master to live in Weiyang Palace, so that their hard life will come to an end, and they can live a good life with the new master.

And this day is finally coming, after Ah Xiyan was appointed as the chief imperial physician by the emperor, and at the suggestion of the fourth prince Chu Xiaoyao, she made an exception and lived in the Weiyang Palace, where only princesses with noble status can stay.

However, because A Xiyan specifically asked the emperor not to publicly announce her identity as the chief imperial physician for the time being, although she was taken to the Weiyang Palace by Aunt Chang, she did not disclose her identity, and still lived in the Weiyang Palace in a low-key manner as a palace maid.

And Aunt Chang was in a hurry to go out of the palace to report A Xiyan's affairs to the prince Chu Junmo, who was waiting for news, so she didn't have time to say anything to the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Palace, but just asked them to help her go to the Internal Affairs Office to get new daily necessities on the grounds that the new master of Weiyang Palace was coming.

After that, Aunt Chang hurried out of the palace at the request of A Xiyan.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs who have been looking forward to the new masters for many years are also quite disappointed, although everyone knows that the new palace maids recommended by Aunt Chang are usually outstanding, and in the future, the palace maids of the major masters are vying to serve them.

But the palace maid who is appreciated by the master is still a slave after all, especially in this Xingsheng Palace, where all the princes and princesses of noble status live, it is not a master at all.

This means that such a new master is the same as not, and it is impossible for the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Hall to raise their heads in front of the palace maids and eunuchs of other palaces from now on.

Even because the master who served was just a little-known little palace maid, it made them even more embarrassed.

So they naturally didn't take Ah Xiyan in their eyes, and no one was too lazy to serve Ah Xiyan.

And Aunt Chang asked them to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get new daily necessities before leaving, but they were not optimistic, and they all felt that going to the Internal Affairs Office was also a cold-eyed errand, so they passed the buck to each other, and no one was willing to go.

In the end, they were forced by Aunt Chang's prestige in the palace, worried that Aunt Chang would scold them when she came back, so several palace maids and eunuchs joined forces to force a cowardly eunuch to go to the Internal Affairs Office.

As for whether this eunuch can get new supplies from the Internal Affairs Office, it's none of their business, anyway, if someone goes, it can be regarded as giving Aunt Zuchang face.

All this was naturally seen by the sharp-minded A Xiyan, and she didn't care about it.

On the contrary, she felt that it was better for these palace maids and eunuchs to be reluctant to get close to her, lest they be too enthusiastic and touch her body, and then faint from poisoning, and have to consume a pill from her to detoxify them, and this pill is only this small bottle, and there will be no more after eating.

Although Ah Xiyan's adoptive mother told her the detailed secret recipe for pill making when she was dying, because there are many varieties of herbs needed to make this pill, and there are still some herbs that are only available in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, even if Ah Xiyan can make it, it is not what she is currently qualified to make.

That meant that the small bottle of pills in her hand still had to be spared.

Since Aunt Chang went out of the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace regarded her as non-existent, so Ah Xiyan simply went back to the palace to sleep.

She thought that when she woke up, Aunt Chang should also come back.

In fact, Ah Xiyan knew in her heart that if these palace maids and eunuchs knew that she was the chief imperial physician appointed by the emperor, they would definitely come to please her.

Instead of the feeling of being ignored now.

Even Ah Xiyan could imagine that as long as her identity as the chief imperial physician was not officially announced, and she had been living in Weiyang Hall as a palace maid, then there would definitely be many people who would come to her for trouble in the future.

After all, the palace here is not a prince or a princess, they are all noble masters, how can she be allowed to occupy the Weiyang Palace?

But Ah Xiyan did this because she had no choice but to do so, firstly, to facilitate the emperor to send someone to help her secretly find out her life experience, and before finding out the truth about her abandoned Ten Thousand Poison Valley back then, and whether her biological parents really cared about her as a daughter, she didn't want to be too ostentatious and alarm her biological parents too early.

lest her parents ruthlessly abandoned her back then, forced to pretend to curry favor with her because she was the chief imperial physician appointed by the emperor, reluctantly recognized her, and deliberately covered up the truth about abandoning her back then.

In that way, even if she returns to her parents, she will inevitably not be treated with their sincerity.

Once one day she is no longer the chief imperial doctor, and there is no emperor's appreciation, she may be kicked out of the house again, so Ah Xiyan doesn't need this kind of hypocritical relatives, what she wants is to treat her parents sincerely.

Besides, Ah Xiyan still has a secret that she can't tell anyone, that is, she is still a natural poison.

Until she finds a control of the poison, or completely cures the poison, she doesn't plan to let her biological parents know about her coming to the Imperial City for the time being, lest her poison hurt them.

Even if the emperor found out that her parents did not know about her being sent to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons back then, and had been worrying and looking for her all the time for the past seventeen years, she did not plan to recognize her immediately.

It's just that what Ah Xiyan didn't expect was that her identity had been exposed not long after she lived in Weiyang Palace.

What she didn't expect was that just after she fell asleep, two of her relatives were already on the way to Weiyang Palace.

And she had met these two people before, one was the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, that is, her biological mother Ye Qingli, and the other was the eldest princess, that is, her cousin Chu Yuyao.

Just when Ah Xiyan was falling asleep in a daze, she felt that someone seemed to have fed a pill into her mouth, and when she reacted, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, and when she was about to spit out the pill in her mouth, she found that she had swallowed it.

At the same time, she was surprised to see a mysterious man in black in a mask standing in front of her bed, and after putting his finger to his mouth to signal her not to make a noise, he pointed to a note placed at the end of her bed, and then turned and left her bed.

Ah Xiyan picked up the note and looked at it in confusion, only to see that it read:

Rest assured, the pills you are given will temporarily control your poison and ensure that your skin is not highly toxic for a month. As for who I am, it's not convenient to tell you for the time being. All you have to know is that I'm just like you. Now that you have become the chief physician, use this month to develop an antidote that can heal the poison with peace of mind, and use this method to repay my kindness. After reading it, be sure to burn the note.

After reading the content of the note, Ah Xiyan felt her body again, there was indeed nothing uncomfortable, obviously the mysterious man just now did not lie to her.

In order to verify whether the surface of her skin is still highly toxic, Ah Xiyan hurriedly got up, and after burning the note with a candle, she quickly walked to a pot of flowers.

Ah Xiyan stretched out a finger and lightly touched the petals, only to find that the petals did not turn black as quickly as before, and finally withered, obviously the surface of her skin was indeed not highly toxic.

Then, Ah Xiyan simply pinched the petals and held them for a while, and then when she released them, this time she could feel that the petals were slightly black, but it was not obvious.

That is, from now on, within a month, it doesn't matter if she holds hands with ordinary people.

As long as you don't pull it for too long, it won't hurt others.

Suddenly, Ah Xiyan's heart also became extremely excited.

Because this means that the pill to control the poison has been developed, then she is confident that her poison will be cured in time.

Just when Ah Xiyan stared at the petals and fell into deep thought with great excitement, she heard a quarrel in the courtyard outside the palace, as if someone was sarcastically sarcastic about the palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also unwilling to quarrel with each other, obviously someone came to find fault.

So, Ah Xiyan walked out quickly, wanting to see who was coming to find trouble with Weiyang Palace......
