Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the backyard of the medical center, Du Juan and Ying’er were collecting herbs that had been drying all day.

Physician Fu went to the front courtyard to take a look. Chef Cao and Madam Yang were cooking in the kitchen. There were only the two of them in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a branch shook quickly on the wall of the Benevolence Hall.

Du Juan hurriedly said to Ying’er, “The hall is a little busy. Little Weizi can’t prepare the herbs alone. Go and help. I can prepare the herbs alone.”

“Can you do it?” Ying’er asked.

Du Juan said, “It’s not raining. It’s fine if I slow down.”

Ying’er thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you go prepare the herbs? I’ll collect the herbs.”

Du Juan lowered her head. “I prepared the wrong one a few times… I was scolded badly… I don’t dare to get the medicine anymore… You should go.”

“Alright then.” Ying’er went to the lobby.

Du Juan looked around and picked up a dustpan to the back door.

When she passed by the kitchen, she glanced in and no one noticed her.

She came to the back alley and entered the Benevolence Hall through the back door.

Shopkeeper Wu was already waiting in the corner.

“Did you make any progress today?” Manager Wu asked.

Du Juan said, “Boss came to get some herbs to make medicinal cuisine for the Empress Dowager.”

Manager Wu asked, “You’ve already taken it home?”

“Yes,” Du Juan said in a low voice. “Boss prepared the medicine herself and took it away after preparing it. I didn’t have a chance to touch the herbs, but…”

Manager Wu’s eyes lit up. “But what!”

Du Juan said, “She left a prescription and asked Doctor Fu to brew an ointment for her. She’ll come and get it tomorrow morning.

Manager Wu said thoughtfully, “She’s getting it tomorrow morning… Looks like it’s for the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked her master to personally brew the ointment.”

Du Juan did not comment. She could not interrupt.

Manager Wu instructed, “Think of a way to get that prescription.”

Du Juan said awkwardly, “I’m afraid I can’t get the prescription. These special prescriptions are usually not placed in the lobby. They’re directly stored with the accountant on the second floor. I can’t enter.”

Manager Wu thought of how confidential the prescription was.

He frowned. “Then keep an eye on Imperial Physician Fu and see what herbs he used…

Du Juan said, “He won’t allow me to keep an eye on him.”

Manager Wu was impatient. “This won’t do, and that won’t do. Do you still want to redeem yourself? Do you really think the Number One Hall is a good place to stay in? Think about it, you were an official’s daughter back then. Are you really willing to be reduced to a lowly medicine girl?”

Du Juan bit her lip.

Manager Wu said coldly, “Or… can’t you bear to attack the Number One Hall?”

Du Juan struggled. “Boss… treats me well… Although she has a bad temper sometimes… she doesn’t mean any harm..

Manager Wu sneered. “If you’re unfaithful once, you won’t be used a hundred times. Du Juan, I’ve never forced you. Everything was voluntary. Don’t tell me you think your boss will still trust you as usual after I tell her about your collusion with me?”

Du Juan clenched her handkerchief. “Don’t tell Boss!”

Manager Wu smiled and said, “Actually, I’m not asking you to do anything too evil. I just want to teach that girl a small lesson. Don’t worry, this matter won’t hurt her. At most, it will make her retreat. I promise you that after you finish this last thing for me, we’ll forget about each other from now on. You take the silver you deserve, and I’ll disappear from your sight.”

A hint of conflict appeared in Du Juan’s eyes. “Do you keep your word?”

Manager Wu said, “Of course.”

Du Juan took a deep breath and went all out. “What do you want me to do?” Manager Wu returned to the accountant’s room on the second floor. Second Master Hu sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. “Is it done?”

Manager Wu smiled and said, “How can I not do anything?”

Second Master Hu said angrily, “You’ve already failed several times!”

Manager Wu promised, “Boss, don’t worry. This time, it will definitely be foolproof! ”

Second Master Hu asked, “Did you use that medicine?”

Manager Wu said, “That’s right.”

Second Master Hu was a little hesitant. “Isn’t this too risky? Big Brother said that the effect of this medicine is unstable… If it’s too strong… If we really cause something to happen to the Empress Dowager…”

Manager Wu hurriedly said, “No, Boss? Didn’t Eldest Master say so? The masters in the palace have precious statuses. As long as it enters the mouth, it has to be carefully checked. First, there are silver needles to test the poison, and then there are special eunuchs to test the poison themselves. They will be found out before they can reach the Empress Dowager!”

Second Master Hu asked, “What if… what if they are not able to detect it?”

Manager Wu said, “If they can’t find out and our master has the antidote, wouldn’t it be a coincidence for our master to obtain the Empress Dowager’s

attention again?”

Second Master Hu frowned. “Will this really not kill someone?”

“No!” Shopkeeper Wu patted his chest and promised.

Second Master Hu was persuaded and nodded. “That girl has repeatedly ruined my Hu family’s business. It’s time to teach her a lesson.”

Manager Wu smiled sinisterly. “Conspiracy to murder the Empress Dowager is a capital crime. Second Master, just wait for the happy tidings from the palace!

In less than three days, the Number One Hall will be ours!”

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao entered the palace with the ointment.

Hu Jiusheng packed up and was about to enter the palace. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he bumped into Second Master Hu, who was setting off for the Benevolence Hall.

Second Master Hu was in high spirits when he encountered a happy occasion.

He was all smiles. “Brother!”
