Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

"Your humble servant, Meng Hanfeng of the Imperial Hospital, greets Consort Ning." A deep, pleasant voice rang out.

Ye Lanyi finally turned her gaze away from the book and looked toward the source of the sound.

He was a young imperial physician, kneeling and bowing; from this angle, only the tip of his nose could be seen.

Ye Lanyi: "Get up."

Her voice was clear and cold, like the plum blossoms in the snow in March, untouched by any dust.

Meng Hanfeng: "Your Majesty, this humble subject has come to inquire about your health."

Ye Lanyi reached out her hand.

Her fair wrists, smooth as jade, made Meng Hanfeng dared not look at them for long and lowered his eyes.

The bright moon lay a handkerchief on it.

Only then did I place my hand on it to begin taking the pulse.

Looking at the person kneeling before me taking my pulse, I saw a gentle, jade-like face with a high nose bridge, a handsome chin, and exquisite facial features.

He was humble and polite, with an elegant demeanor, like a refined young master from a noble family.

Ye Lanyi: "Doctor Meng, how is it?"

Meng Hanfeng looked up at Ye Lanyi, paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and replied.

Meng Hanfeng: "Your Majesty is in good health and everything is fine."

Ye Lanyi: "That's good."

Meng Hanfeng: "Then this humble subject will take his leave."

Ye Lanyi: "Ming Su sent down Physician Meng."

Ming Su: "Physician Meng, please take care."

After reading storybooks all morning, Ye Lanyi felt a little hungry.

"Mingyue, prepare the meal."

"Yes, ma'am."

Feeling bored after his afternoon nap, he asked Mingsu to go to the Imperial Household Department to have someone send over a pipa.

I played it last time, so I'm practicing it today.

A melodious pipa tune arose, like a clear spring flowing around the ears, like the wind blowing through a drizzle.

The melody is melodious and smooth, yet rhythmic.

After the performance of "The Song of the Pipa" ended, applause erupted from the doorway.

Big Fat Orange: "I didn't expect Lan Yi to play the pipa so well. How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

The Emperor walked in with a smile and a look of delight.

Big Fat Orange really does like to eavesdrop, luckily I have strong mental power.

Ye Lanyi was pulled up as she bowed.

Hearing this was a bit awkward; wasn't this what Big Fat Orange had said to Zhen Huan back then?

Ye Lanyi: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I only know how to play the pipa a little."

Big Fat Orange: "Is there anything you're interested in? I'll have someone find it for you."

Ye Lanyi: "Your Majesty, I would like to go horseback riding at the Yuanmingyuan Garden. I used to ride horses often when I was at the Baijun Garden."

"You still need to master horseback riding. I'm interested in it, and the original owner was quite skilled at training horses. I can learn from that experience and should be faster than someone without experience. As for why others think I'm not as skilled as the original owner, just say it's because I haven't ridden in a long time and I'm a bit rusty."

Big Fat Orange: "If you feel constrained in the palace, I will take you to stay at the Yuanmingyuan for a while."

Ye Lanyi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor ordered a trip to the Yuanmingyuan Garden, and all the concubines in the palace went. Except for the Empress, who had just recovered from her illness and stayed in the palace, even Zhen Huan, who was five months pregnant, went.

The imperial physician accompanied them.

It seems that with Zhen Huan back in the palace, the Empress's headaches will flare up frequently again.

This time, the plan is to take Li Qingzhu and Ming Su with them. The eunuch will lead the first group of servants and Fu Ren along.

Ye Lanyi: "This time, Qingzhu and Mingsu are going to the Old Summer Palace with me."

Ming Su and Li Qingzhu were very happy to hear that they could go to the Old Summer Palace.

Ming Su: "That's great, thank you, Your Highness. I'll go prepare the things I need to take with me right away."

Li Qingzhu: "This servant will also go and help."

Ye Lanyi: "Go."

The two were a perfect match: one steady and the other agile.

Ye Lanyi: "Mingyue, you stay in the palace with the rest of the people this time. I'll take you with me next time. This time, guard Chengqian Palace for me."

Even though the Empress is still in the palace, we must be careful that she doesn't send any dirty things to Chengqian Palace while she's not there.

We also have to thank the female lead for returning to the palace, which diverted the firepower. Everyone was busy dealing with this formidable rival, the female lead. After all, she was made a concubine as soon as she returned, and she might be made a noble consort after giving birth to her child. Everyone in the Empress's team was envious.

Everyone knows that Ye Lanyi is infertile and can no longer have children, so there aren't many people watching over Chengqian Palace.

Mingyue: "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely guard Chengqian Palace well and wait for Your Majesty's return."

Ye Lanyi: "I trust you to handle things."

Mingyue: "This servant will certainly not let Your Majesty down."

Fu Ren also led the eunuchs in to express their gratitude.

They were all sent off to prepare.

Upon arriving at the Yuanmingyuan, the emperor arranged for them to stay at the Natural Painting Residence.

The Emperor resides in the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zhen Huan still lives in the Bi Tong Academy, Shen Mei Zhuang in the Leisurely Moon Pavilion, Consort Jing in the Apricot Blossom Spring Pavilion, and Consort An and Consort Qi each reside in the Hall of Carved Clouds and Moon, and the Hall of Ancient and Modern Learning.

Natural pictures.

Ten thousand green bamboos stand before the courtyard, and tall pavilions and terraces are built to the west overlooking the back lake.

Climbing the tower, one can enjoy a distant view of the Western Hills, a glimpse of the Yuquan Longevity Pagoda in the middle, and a close view of the scenery along the four banks of the Back Lake.

The environment is nice, and living in a place like this makes me feel much more relaxed.

They took their people for a stroll nearby to enjoy the scenery. As they wandered outside, they encountered the female lead, Zhen Huan, with her younger sister and personal maid, Huan Bi.

Ye Lanyi: "May Consort Xi be well."

His voice was flat and emotionless, and he had no expression.

Zhen Huan: "Get up, Consort Ning has come out for a walk as well."

Ye Lanyi: "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Your Majesty, please enjoy your stroll."

She maintains her aloof persona, but is not as unruly as the original owner.

Being aloof feels good; one can't live in the palace without having to be careful with one's words and actions.

Huanbi: "What kind of attitude is this? Just as everyone says, she is naturally aloof and difficult to get along with. I don't know how she became so popular."

Huanbi indeed looked down on everyone, and her words were harsh and tactless.

Zhen Huan always handled things gently, after all, she was her own sister, and in the end, she even let her marry the person she loved.

Zhen Huan: "Alright, it's normal for her to have a bit of a personality since she's favored by the Emperor. How can you say such things so casually? If someone hears this, they'll say I'm not strict with my subordinates."

Huanbi: "Yes."

It's better to stay away from the female lead; nothing good ever comes from the people around her.

Ye Lanyi led her people back.

At noon, the Emperor visited Consort Xi, and in the evening, he visited Tianran Huatu.

Big Fat Orange: "Do you like this natural landscape? It has mountains and water. I specially arranged for you to stay here."

Ye Lanyi: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I like it very much."

Big Fat Orange: "You can go horseback riding tomorrow. I'll come over when I have time. It'll be more comfortable for you to go to a place you're familiar with."

Ye Lanyi: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so I will go by myself."

Big Fat Orange: "I've been a bit busy lately, so please bring more people to serve you."

Ye Lanyi: "Your Majesty, I obey."

That night, the Emperor naturally stayed at the Natural Painting Studio, while the stand-in doll came out to work overtime.

I spent my days riding horses and enjoying the scenery at the Old Summer Palace.

It's time to have your pulse checked this month.

It was the same imperial physician who came last time; good-looking people are always pleasing to the eye.

A hand with distinct knuckles rests on a handkerchief at the wrist.

Ye Lanyi: "How are you? Is there anything wrong with my health?"

Meng Hanfeng: "Her Majesty is in good health recently and has no symptoms of discomfort."

It's rare to find someone so healthy. I heard that Consort Ning drank the Nine Cold Soup before, so she should have some cold-related ailments.
