Closed Doors, Your Master Can Be at Ease

What could palace women possibly lack? And what could pregnant palace women possibly want for?

After thinking it over, Serena Feng realized the only thing she could offer that would truly impress them was prenatal supplements—safe, side-effect-free medicine for expecting mothers. The more, the better.

As for whether Noble Consort Helena Hsieh or Lady Wendy Wen would dare take them, that wasn’t her concern. Every woman who survives in the palace has her own tricks, and they all rigorously inspect anything they eat.

It’s not about recognizing quality—it’s about comparing it. Once the imperial physicians check the medicine, they’ll know her prenatal pills are worth more than gold.

Suddenly, Serena saw another path to fortune. She could talk it over with Vincent Su and start selling prenatal medicine. It would be a goldmine.

These drugs cost a fortune in the modern world, but in her Medical Ethics Exchange System, they barely required any points. Serena searched for ages before finally finding the prenatal pills tucked away in a corner.

There were only about ten types, hardly any choice. Serena couldn’t help but grumble—the military really was biased toward men. Didn’t the developers ever consider female soldiers when designing the Smart Med-Pack? Not even a thought for their needs.

She picked two different supplements: one for women in their first trimester, the other for those past five months. She redeemed a three-month supply of each, spending just 10 Medical Ethics Points and leaving herself with 986 points.

Ten points—she would’ve winced over that in the past. But now? She was rolling in points, almost at four digits.

Just you wait, AK‑47. One day I’ll redeem you—and then blow Prince Terrence Valen’s head clean off.

Ahem… that got a bit violent. Never mind, I’ll think about it later. No point dwelling on it now.

Serena unpacked the medicine, repackaged it, and wrote out the instructions and precautions. It was a lot, so it took her half an hour to get everything ready. By the time she finished and stepped outside, she discovered…

Her apprentice had leveled up—he actually knew how to build connections now.

When Serena arrived, Simon Sun was busy giving checkups to the guards accompanying the eunuch, then writing prescriptions and handing out medicine, patiently explaining everything. Even the eunuch had a pile of medicine in front of him—clearly, Simon had checked him too.

Simon Sun really was born to be a doctor. No matter where he went, he never forgot to find new patients. Even palace visitors obediently let him treat them—he was amazing.

The guards called him 'Little Divine Doctor Sun' one after another. Serena watched with pride, feeling like a parent seeing her child finally grow up. Simon could handle things on his own now. His way of dealing with people was different, but that only made him more special.

At least something good happened today, enough to wash away the gloom Princess Yara brought.

Serena quietly stood outside the door, not disturbing Simon Sun. Only after he finished seeing his last patient did she walk in.

"Master, you’re finally here." Simon Sun looked at Serena like she was his savior and hurried over.

He wasn’t good at socializing. When his master told him to keep the eunuch company, he had no idea what to say. The two of them just stared at each other in silence for ages. Simon felt awkward, noticed the eunuch didn’t look well, and finally tried to mention it… and then—
