”I’m sorry, I was just anxious to save someone and accidentally broke your medicine hammer,” Mei Siyu apologized, knowing she was in the wrong and couldn’t speak harshly.
Doctor Li looked at her, his tone softening slightly: “Which palace are you from? Which master is unwell?” He studied her carefully, having served in the palace for decades and treated concubines for eight years, yet never seen such an attractive maidservant.
Mei Siyu blurted out without thinking: “I’m Mei Fei from Yangfeng Hall. My maidservant is ill, and I hope the physician can come to Yangfeng Hall.” She spoke casually, unaware she had removed her veil, not knowing this small oversight would change her life forever!
He looked at her again, thinking this beautiful girl must be crazy! She claims to be Mei Fei? Then he must be the Emperor! Everyone knows Mei Fei is an odd-looking woman, not like her at all. He decided to ignore this seemingly foolish Mei Siyu, having more important matters, though he admitted she was quite attractive.
”This is the Royal Physician’s Court, not a madhouse. Please leave quickly,” Doctor Li said dismissively.
She couldn’t believe she was mistaken for a madwoman. How could this be? A modern, intelligent woman and noble Mei Fei, now considered a madwoman by this old man? What a joke!
“Oh, sorry, please continue. I’m here to find the Emperor. Have you seen him?” Mei Siyu just entered the hall and saw the palace performance show. She tactfully turned her back, asking awkwardly.
“How dare you, servant! The Emperor is not someone you can casually meet. I think you’re tired of living!” Concubine Shu unwillingly removed her hand from around the Emperor’s neck, her anger soaring to the sky.
Ming Lengchen was not as angry as Concubine Shu. He looked at Mei Siyu with interest, recognizing her immediately – the woman who had foolishly waited until late at night for his single word, the first person he had accompanied to steal cakes from the imperial kitchen. She was the beauty before him!
“I am the Emperor. What do you want?” he gently stroked the beauty’s hair in his arms. He wanted to see her shocked expression, which must be charming and shy!
