With the Yufugao, Concubine Chen quickly regained favor and stood out among the rest.

Concubine Chen became even more reliant on the Yufugao, using it day and night.

The scent of the Yufugao gradually became Concubine Chen's body fragrance, making the Emperor infatuated and wanting to stay in Zhaoyang Palace every day.

Concubine Chen had a rebellious personality and an extravagant style. In the past, she didn't even care about the Empress because of the Emperor's favor, so she did things like paying respects purely based on her mood.

As she gradually lost favor, she occasionally visited the Empress's palace just for show. However, every time she went, the Empress would sarcastically insult her, leaving her fuming when she returned and taking it out on the palace maids around her.

Now that she was favored again, she dressed up and went to pay respects to the Empress.

When she arrived late, all the other concubines had already taken their seats.

She wasn't really there to sincerely pay respects, but just to vent her frustration.

But even before she entered the hall, voices could be heard from inside.

"Concubine Chen may have regained favor, but so what? She's just an old woman, how can she compare to us young and beautiful ones? No matter how high her means are, the Emperor will soon tire of her.

The one speaking was Concubine Xin, who was most favored by the Emperor recently and had developed an arrogant attitude.

Now feeling neglected all of a sudden, she vented her frustration without restraint, unaware of the trouble her words could bring.

Hearing such remarks, Concubine Chen didn't get angry. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and smiled, though the smile didn't reach her eyes. She lightly opened her vermilion lips, "I was just thinking how to assert my authority, and this fool came to me on her own. Since that's the case, I will fulfill her wish."
