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

Flower petals floated in the bathtub as Mingyue massaged herself, feeling so comfortable she was about to fall asleep.

Ming Su walked in: "Your Majesty, Physician Meng has arrived."

Ye Lanyi's lazy voice rang out.

"Bring the person in, then you may all leave."

"Yes," Physician Meng replied, following Ming Su as she was led into the bathing area.

Meng Hanfeng felt his face begin to flush red.

Mingsu and Mingyue withdrew on their own and closed the door.

Ye Lanyi: "Come here, what are you standing there daydreaming about?"

Bewitched by the voice, Meng Hanfeng approached step by step.

Looking at Ye Lanyi, Meng Hanfeng slowly walked in.

Cutting, cutting...

……

His breathing gradually became hot, and his eyes grew increasingly dark.

……

Rhythmic applause rang out in the room.

……

after the end.

The two spoke close together.

Meng Hanfeng: "I'm off tomorrow and won't be in the palace. If anything happens, send someone to let me know."

Meng Hanfeng was already past twenty, and his family was constantly urging him to get married, so he had to go back and clarify things.

Meng Hanfeng entered the Imperial Medical Academy because of his talent in medicine. His older brother, who is more than ten years younger than him and is already in his thirties, took care of him since childhood and they had a very good relationship. His father was a compiler in the Hanlin Academy of the seventh rank.

The elder brother took on the family responsibility and served as a fifth-rank assistant minister in the Ministry of Personnel. His position was not high, and he mainly assisted his superiors in handling daily government affairs, drafting documents, and reviewing papers.

Ye Lanyi: "Yes, I have some rare fruits there. You can take them back with you later."

Cherries existed in the Qing Dynasty at that time, but the ones in my space were sweeter and larger than regular cherries.

There are also lychees, because the space is not limited by season, so any fruit can be grown at any time.

Meng Hanfeng: "What kind of fruit is it? Was it a gift from the Emperor?"

Ye Lanyi: "You don't need to know where the cherries and lychees came from, just take them back."

The season for lychees and cherries has passed, and winter is just around the corner.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it, he stopped talking and kept his doubts to himself. He already knew that she had some special abilities.

For example, the tea she drank at Chengqian Palace seemed to alleviate her physical fatigue. Also, regarding the matter of serving the emperor, despite the strict rules of the palace, she managed to avoid it. Furthermore, the people at Chengqian Palace didn't seem to worry at all about anyone revealing her relationship with Ye Lanyi.

That's good, it means she won't get hurt, and I can rest easy. I won't ask her any more questions, I don't want to put her in a difficult position.

Ye Lanyi: "Remember to take it back discreetly, so your parents can try it too."

Meng Hanfeng: "Okay, I will."

He held her tightly and said no more, not daring to ask about their relationship, afraid of hearing news that would upset him.

Ye Lanyi: "You should go back now."

He used her and then discarded her again. He gritted his teeth, his eyes darkening, longing to hear her pleading again. Only then did she seem to truly belong to him.

Meng Hanfeng conceded, "Then I'll head back first."

Ye Lanyi waved her hand.

After the person left, he called someone in to tidy up, and then went into his space to wash up and cultivate.

Meng Hanfeng rushed back to the Imperial Hospital to continue his shift before the palace gates were locked. The Imperial Hospital was not located in the inner palace; the concubines lived there, and the hospital was closed every night.

The next day, after finishing her shift and returning home, she asked the servants to divide the fruit into three portions: one to send to her parents, one to her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, and the other to keep for herself, as it was her heartfelt gesture.

Here, Meng's mother and sister-in-law, along with their granddaughter, Meng's father, and Meng's elder brother, who had just returned from court, had just finished their breakfast.

My eldest grandson has already gone to the academy.

Then a servant came to report that the second young master had returned. He was told to wash up and get ready before coming over to pay his respects to the master and mistress.

Someone was sent to deliver fruit, one portion to this room and the other to Brother Meng's east wing.

Meng's parents lived in the main courtyard, Meng's elder brother's family lived in the east wing, and Meng Hanfeng lived in the west wing.

The Meng family is a rare example where all the men have only one wife and do not take concubines, so the household is peaceful and the family is harmonious.

When Mencius' parents got married, they were just ordinary people. They were introduced to each other and have always supported and respected each other.

Mencius' mother gave birth to two sons.

Brother Meng and Sister-in-law Meng grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have had a very good relationship since they got married.

Sister-in-law Meng had a son and a daughter.

The eldest son is ten years old, and the youngest is seven.

The Meng family members are all easy to get along with. Meng's mother is also a good mother-in-law who watched Meng's sister-in-law grow up, so they naturally get along harmoniously.

Father Meng: "Feng'er is back. There's fruit too? Bring it up."

The servants opened, washed, and placed the fruit on the table.

Meng Hanmu, the eldest brother: "Where did you get cherries and lychees, second brother, at this time of year?"

He asked in surprise and doubt.

Meng's mother: "Yes, where did Feng'er get these? These cherries look bigger than usual, and the color is darker too. Could they have been a gift from the Emperor?"

After thinking it over, this is the only possibility. Where else besides the palace could these fruits be found?

Meng's father: "I haven't heard of the Emperor bestowing this gift. Could it be Consort Ning?"

Consort Ning had just given birth to the Seventh Prince and was favored by the Emperor. The Emperor might bestow a gift upon Consort Ning. Coincidentally, her son had previously been in charge of Consort Ning's pregnancy at the Imperial Hospital. The child was born safely, so the gift was given to Feng'er.

It seems like this is the only possibility.

Sister-in-law Meng: "Let's wait for my second brother to come and ask him."

Everyone can see that once they arrive, they'll know.

Meng Hanfeng finished packing and went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to his father and mother.

Meng Hanfeng: "Your son greets Father and Mother."

Mencius' father said, "Come and sit down quickly."

Meng Hanmu: "Second brother is back. Sit down and let's talk."

Mother Meng: "Yes, Feng'er."

Meng Hanfeng: "Big brother and sister-in-law Xuewei are here too?"

Sister-in-law Meng nodded.

The eldest brother has two children: his nephew Meng Tingxuan and his niece Meng Xuewei.

Go inside and sit down; a servant will serve you tea.

Meng Hanmu: "I just finished breakfast in the main courtyard. When I saw the fruit you brought, I was curious and waited for you to come over."

Meng's mother: "Yes, Feng'er, where did these fruits come from? They're not in season now."

Meng Hanfeng: "It was a gift from Consort Ning in the palace."

Meng's father said, "I will tell you that it was a gift from Consort Ning."

Meng Hanfeng: "But don't spread this around."

I don't know how to put it, so I can only tell everyone that it was Consort Ning's idea.

Mencius' father said, "Alright, now that you understand, try them all."

Meng Hanfeng: "I kept one for myself. Father and Mother, please eat this one."

Meng Hanmu noticed that his youngest daughter's eyes were fixed on the bright red fruit.

Meng Hanmu then ordered his servants to bring over the portion that his second brother had given him, so that everyone could eat it together in the main courtyard.

Mencius' mother said, "Feng'er, you should try it first, since you're already here."

Meng Hanfeng compromised, and everyone began to taste the food.

Meng Xuewei: "Mom, it's so sweet, so delicious."

Everyone who tasted it agreed that it tasted better than anything they had eaten before, and it also looked better.

I thought to myself, the palace really does have all sorts of good things.
