I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

In the study of Prince Rui's mansion, Divine Doctor Gao looked at Li Rui's pale face and said with some concern: "Prince, you must not get emotional before you are detoxified."

When Li Rui heard this, his face immediately darkened: "What do you mean? How could I be emotional? To whom?"

Doctor Gao was a little helpless. He had watched Li Rui grow up, so he certainly didn't want anything to happen to him. That's why he reminded him today.

As a result, this guy didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and was completely unaware that he had fallen in love with An Xiaozhu.

"Your Highness, you showed signs of having an attack last night when you came back from Hibiscus Courtyard. I forced you to control it, but I didn't expect that you would have an attack today when Concubine An came to see you."

"This time the symptoms broke out 10 days earlier than usual, so I have to remind you not to get emotional before the poison is removed!"

Li Rui finally understood what he meant, and his expression became even uglier. How could he fall in love with a woman like An Muxi? He just paid a little more attention to her and was curious about her true identity.

But he also knew that what Dr. Gao said was right. The love flower poison had only one triggering condition, and that was love.

Could it be that he really fell in love with that woman? Li Rui was upset. How could this be possible?

He still had a lot of things to do. He hadn't found out the cause of his mother's death, and he hadn't caught the person who poisoned him. He couldn't let all his efforts go to waste because of a woman.

Exhaling deeply, he said coldly: "I understand." He will stay away from that woman from now on.

In fact, she wanted to leave the Rui Palace so much, why not let her go free? No, he immediately rejected this idea. For some reason, he didn't want to let her go in his heart.

Doctor Gao took out three small white porcelain bottles and placed them on the desk in front of Li Rui: "This is the pill that Miss An made for you. I checked it and it's better than the one I made before. It can also regulate your body."

"Take one a day."

Li Rui looked at the small porcelain bottles on the table with his deep eyes, his expression was inexplicable.

The next morning, An Muxi took Xiaoqin out of the palace. When she left, the gate guard reminded her that she had one more chance to leave the palace this month.

An Muxi was totally confused and at the same time she was laughing and crying. Did the Dog Prince have to arrange everything in such detail?

But she was still in a good mood to be able to leave the house.

Now she had saved up a hundred taels of silver, but she found that she needed money everywhere when she left the house. This little money was not enough for her to spend for a few days.

In modern times, she is also like this, she has no concept of money, she doesn't know how to plan, she spends more when she has money and less when she doesn't, and she is never willing to put herself in a difficult position. As a result, she didn't save much until she died.

She firmly believes that money is earned, not saved, so it is more practical to think about how to make more money.

She recently had an idea that since she had good medical skills, she might as well open a clinic in the future, and she could take time out of her week to come and see patients one day.

You can also make several kinds of pills and sell them together. The pills here are very expensive. She saw it the last time she went to buy medicine. Ordinary people simply can't afford the pills.

It's not just because the raw materials are expensive, but also because the technology to make pills is only in the hands of a few old doctors, so it seems to be a rare commodity.

But I will implement these plans later, and for now I have to save some money by drawing books. I don't want to think too much, I'll go out for a walk first.

Today she learned from her last lesson and asked Madam Zhao to help her find a set of ordinary men's clothes, while Xiaoqin dressed up as a servant.

The two of them continued shopping and eating along the way until they arrived at the Fang Cun Zhijian bookstore.

When I entered the bookstore, I saw that Manager Sun was not there. A man who looked like a scholar was counting the money at the counter. The bookstore was quite lively today, with many customers coming.

An Muxi did not immediately ask for help, but instead observed the books bought by these customers. Sure enough, her own sketchbooks accounted for a large portion of them.

It seems that sales have increased, and I am very happy. These are all free gifts. I feel particularly cordial looking at these customers.

Xiaoqin also noticed this, and happily pulled her sleeve and said, "Master, look, your sketchbook is selling very well!"

An Muxi gave Xiaoqin an expression that showed she had expected this and told her to stay calm.

She observed for a while and found that many of the people who bought books were servants. After thinking about it, she knew the reason. The picture books and novels she wrote were the types that girls liked. It was probably inconvenient for those young ladies from wealthy families to go out, so they asked their servants to come and buy books.

It seems that I have to change the subject matter next time. I think it would be OK to publish some fantasy books about fighting monsters or cultivating immortals. In this era, male readers account for the majority.

Thanks to the fact that I liked reading various types of online articles in my previous life, I can come up with a few ready-made contents by just scratching my mind.

She walked up to the scholar and asked, "Excuse me, is Shopkeeper Sun here?"

The scholar-like man looked up at the person who came and didn't recognize him, so he said, "My father is out on business today. I wonder who you are? I can tell him when he comes back."

When An Muxi saw that Shopkeeper Sun was not there, she thought that the scholar was his son, so she gave up. Suddenly, she remembered that she wondered if the extremely handsome boss was there.

Now that you're here, it would be a shame if you don't take a look at the handsome guy before leaving.

So he asked again, "Is your boss here?"

This time, the young man showed a little surprise and looked An Muxi and the other person up and down.

He asked cautiously, "Do you know our boss?"

An Muxi was a little embarrassed. They had only met once and hadn't even spoken a word to each other. Did this count as recognition?

She had no choice but to say, "I have met him before and I want to talk to him about some business matters."

The scholar hesitated for a moment, probably because he felt that An Muxi was not a bad person, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and report to the boss to see if he's free."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

An Muxi was delighted. It seemed that the handsome man was here. She and Xiaoqin waited with winks.

Xiaoqin is almost like a worm in her stomach. She can guess what she is thinking just by looking at her.

After a while, the scholar came down and said to An Muxi, "Our boss said he can see you. He doesn't like crowds, so please go up alone."

Xiaoqin was a little disappointed when she heard that. An Muxi asked her to wait and went upstairs.

As expected, there was no one on the second floor. An Muxi walked to the innermost screen and took a few steps forward.

He stretched his head to take a look inside and happened to meet a pair of beautiful eyes. He saw a man in a dark blue gown sitting on a mahogany chair behind the screen, looking at him.

In front of him was a mahogany table with an open book on it.

For the first time, An Muxi wanted to describe a man as beautiful and extraordinary. This man had a gentle temperament and a scholarly air between his eyebrows. However, his skin was abnormally pale and bloodless.

She looked at the handsome man. Because of her petite figure, the gown was indeed a little long. One of her feet accidentally stepped on the bottom of her gown without her realizing it.

Then, just as he was about to step in with his pride, leaving a good impression on the other party, he was stopped by the hem of his long gown, and he was completely defeated.

The man stood up and looked at An Muxi lying on the ground with concern, and said, "Sir, are you okay?"

When An Muxi heard the sound, she tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, climbed up, and brushed off the dirt on her body.

He said calmly, "Brother, you look like an elder in my family whom I admire very much and have not met for a long time, so I am doing this great courtesy. Please don't be offended."

The man at the top didn't expect him to say that. He smiled and said, "Really? I wonder what you want to discuss with me today?"

She coughed awkwardly and deliberately made her voice thicker as she said, "I'm here to see how the sales of my brother's sketchbook are going."

The man smiled and said, "Ms. Wang, we meet again."

An Muxi was stunned and asked blankly, "How did you figure that out?"

The man smiled faintly: "Maybe I remember your face." An Muxi was embarrassed. She made a fool of herself in front of the handsome man and was recognized.

What An Muxi didn't know was that even if she was wearing men's clothes, her face still looked like a woman, and anyone with eyes could easily tell the difference between a man and a woman.

So he asked awkwardly, "I don't know what your name is, sir?"

The man said, "My name is Li Yi'an, please take a seat, young lady."
