Following the obvious change in her expression, Prince Huai’s face also darkened.

He noticed that the mask on his face had also been taken off and was now placed aside.

He did not put it on again because this was not the first time Su Ji had seen his true appearance.

Their gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Prince Huai sized Su Ji up with a probing gaze. After a moment, he asked her,

“who did you see just now?”

He felt something. When he lost consciousness, that person seemed to have come out.

Not only did Su Ji know that person, but she was also very familiar with him.

Su Ji looked into his eyes. After a moment, a smile appeared on her lips.

That was clearly Pei Huai’s gaze. Although Pei Huai was so ruthless that he was even jealous of himself, it was undeniable that they were the same person.

Su Ji still wanted to go back, and she wanted to use the jade bracelet that Prince Huai had given her to go back.

If Prince Huai knew that this jade bracelet was the key to helping her go back, he probably wouldn’t have given it to her.

“The person I saw was, of course, Prince Huai.”

Prince Huai also noticed that the jug of wine beside him was not the lychee wine he wanted.

Prince Huai’s fingers that were holding the wine cup tightened one by one, and his eyes darkened. A few seconds later, he raised the wine cup and drank the wine inside.

“Has Your Highness eaten?” He didn’t ask further and changed the topic.

Su Ji smiled. “Thank you for your hospitality today, Prince Huai. Not only did I eat well, but I also got a gift.”

Prince Huai nodded slightly, indicating that he wanted to see the guest out.

Su Ji put away the items in her sleeves and turned around. When she stepped out of the door, she stopped for a moment.

“Oh, right.” She turned her head, and the sunlight shone through the tip of her nose. The spot was mottled and dazzling. “As for the name of the bottle of medicine…l thought about it and decided to follow Prince Huai’s suggestion and call it the ‘All-purpose Medicine’.”

In her previous life, Prince Huai had compromised. In this life, she wanted to tell him in person.

Prince Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Su Ji stroked her fair and delicate chin. She thought of Huichun Hall in the modern world. When All-purpose Medicine 2.0 was released, and the grand occasion when thousands of people turned out. A sly glint flashed across her eyes. “The name sounds like it will sell well.”

Her words were confusing but Prince Huai also smiled. It had nothing to do with what she said, but was influenced by her expression and the excitement in her eyes.

Su Ji left Prince Huai’s residence earlier than Ai Yan and Ai Meng had expected.

In the past, after the meal, she would chat with Prince Huai for a few more hours, and it was common for her to go to the training grounds to watch the soldiers train.

But today, she left right after finishing the meal.

Su Ji had already met Pei Huai and would probably not see him again in the next few days, so there was no need for her to stay here.

When they returned to the palace, Wu Zhu’er was not in the hall. The hall was empty, and no one had prepared tea.

Ai Meng walked around the hall and said with a smile, “seems like Zhu’er is lazy. She must not have expected the Consort Dowager to come back so early today.”

Ai Yan gave her a look. “Nonsense again. Do you think everyone is as playful as you? Zhu’er is not lazy. She must have gone to prepare snacks for Her Highness.”

Ai Meng smiled at the Consort Dowager. “What are you afraid of? Her Highness dotes on Zhu’er the most. She won’t be angry with her.”

Su Ji smiled and yawned lazily. After lunch, she started to feel sleepy, probably because of her pregnancy.

She propped herself up on the chair with one hand and got up to go back to her room. “I’m not drinking tea anymore. I’m going back to my room to lie down for a while. You guys can go ahead.”

Ai Meng nodded.

After Su Ji returned to her room, Ai Meng and Ai Yan did not really leave. Instead, they busied themselves in the lobby.

The two sisters worked together and hung out. Time passed quickly and they didn’t feel tired at all.

About two hours later, Wu Zhu’er returned with a plate of food. There was a bowl of cool soup on it.

“Has the Consort Dowager rested? I made a cooling dish. Her Highness loved to eat this in the summer,” she said, panting.

Ai Yan quickly took the plate from her hand and said to Ai Meng, “see, I told you that Zhu’er went to make snacks.”

Wu Zhu’er smiled and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Ai Meng looked at the bowl of soup and say, “Zhu ‘er, the soup has chicken, right? Otherwise, why did it take two hours?”

Wu Zhuer’s back was facing her at the moment. Hearing this, she stopped wiping her sweat.

Ai Yan was furious at her sister who dared to say anything and kept winking at her.

At the same time, she stood in front of her sister and replied, “Zhu’er, the Consort Dowager has already rested. We’ll give it to her when she wakes up.”

Her younger sister was lucky. She was chosen to serve the Consort Dowager when she entered the palace. Moreover, Her Highness was a master who did not care about trifles, so she spoiled her. She really thought that all the palace maids were like blood sisters who dared to say anything and were not afraid of offending Zhu’er.

However, she was different. Before she was rescued by the Consort Dowager, she had been living a life of misery in the laundry bureau. There, everyone fought openly and secretly, scheming against each other. Everyone was friendly on the surface, but behind the scenes, everyone was working hard to get a spot to leave the laundry bureau.

Ai Yan did not think that Zhu’er was like those people, but after all, she had been by the Consort Dowager’s side for the longest time. Her seniority was

higher than theirs,but Ai Yan always had an odd teeling. Anyway, she had reminded her younger sister more than once to pay more attention to her words.

Seeing that her sister was really angry, Ai Meng stuck out her tongue and explained to Wu Zhu’er, “don’t mind me. I speak without thinking. I shouldn’t joke around when you’ve worked so hard for Her Highness. Why don’t I help you with chores for a week? Will you forgive me for speaking quickly? Is that okay?”

She said with a smile. A moment later, Wu Zhu’er turned around with an amiable smile on her face. “In that case, I’ll accept it-”

Seeing that she wasn’t angry at all, Ai Meng relaxed.

Wu Zhu’er glanced at her and tucked her hair behind her ear with her chubby little hand. “The refreshing and nourishing soup is made of sugar water and slow-cooked. It’s indeed time-consuming. It’s fine if you are joking with me, but don’t tell Her Highness that I’m lazy.”

“Aiya, I know.” Ai Meng held her arm and entered the hall. “You have been with the Consort Dowager since she was young, and you are loyal. I will definitely control my mouth in the future.. Don’t worry…”
