Late at night, Concubine Yi was lying in her luxurious cotton bedding, with a calming incense burning next to her, sleeping soundly.

I stood nearby, holding a silver needle and pricking Concubine Yi's body one by one.

Several court physicians stared at me intently, not daring to relax for a moment.

Sensing their anxious gaze, I chuckled inwardly.

My mother is not only the number one dancer in the world, but also the number one physician in the world.

My mother often told me that dance and medicine are interconnected, one in the other and the other in the one.

Dance heals the heart, medicine heals the body, and naturally, I inherited my mother's medical skills.

These mediocre physicians from the imperial hospital think they can see through my needling technique?

When Concubine Yi woke up, her complexion was rosy, her spirit clear and refreshing. She sat on the phoenix duvet, calmly looking at the several court physicians on the side.

I knelt silently by her side.

After exchanging a few glances, the court physicians nervously addressed Concubine Yi, "Consort, Suao's needling technique does indeed have the effect of relieving muscle and bone stiffness. This needling technique is not only harmless, but can also invigorate the blood and dispel stasis, which is beneficial for Consort's cold condition."

The dark clouds between Concubine Yi's eyebrows dissipated.

She smiled lightly and said to me, "Suao, well done."

"Rest assured, as long as you teach this 'Phoenix Flooding Phoenix' to this palace, after this palace gives birth to the crown prince, the position of the grand palace maid in the harem will be yours!"

I was overwhelmed with joy and wrote on the ground, "To be able to serve by your side, this servant is already content."

With my needling, Concubine Yi's understanding of "Phoenix Flooding Phoenix" increased significantly.

Within three short days, she learned "Phoenix Flooding Phoenix" under my guidance.

Although the movements were still a bit awkward, she could at least complete the dance.

I served by her side, watching her dance with joy, yet I was sneering in my heart.

Concubine Yi was ignorant.

My needling technique appeared harmless, but combined with the dance movements of "Phoenix Flooding Phoenix," it would stir the cold air inside her body.

Every time she danced "Phoenix Flooding Phoenix," her internal cold condition would worsen by a fraction.

Although it might not be apparent in the short term, once the cold air permeated her entire body, she would be lying in bed motionless, turning into a completely lifeless person.

As I taught Concubine Yi "Phoenix Flooding Phoenix," her reliance on me increased even more.

Everyone in the palace knew that there was a girl named Suao in Concubine Yi's palace, who was highly favored by the concubine.

But everything changed after the Emperor visited Concubine Yi that day.
