Then they thought of the Seventh Prince and looked at the Empress. But seeing the Empress's calm expression, they knew she was aware of the situation and wouldn't be discovered, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Lanyi: "It's enough that you know about this. With Consort Xi gone, our Chengqian Palace will become the most prominent place in the palace. We must proceed with caution."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

We still need to give the Emperor a mental suggestion when he comes, so that he will believe that Hongtai is definitely his son and that there is no room for doubt.

The sound of footsteps came.

“Mother, Mother, Mother, I’m back.” Hongtai’s voice came.

Ye Lanyi: "Why are you back so early today?"

Although I asked that question, I knew that the Emperor was probably in a bad mood today.

Hongtai: "Father Emperor said today that I should stay with Mother."

Ye Lanyi: "Mother will prepare your favorite food for you."

Hongtai: "Thank you, Mother. You are the best to me."

The little guy is small, clever, and has a sweet tongue.

A few days later, the Sixth Prince and the Princess passed away, and the Emperor ordered them to be buried hastily.

It didn't cause a ripple in the palace.

The Emperor hasn't been to the inner palace for several months.

Ye Lanyi could sense that there were many more arrangements in the palace, it seemed that the emperor had begun to take control of the harem.

After Consort Xi left, her share of palace power was given to Ye Lanyi, so she couldn't refuse this time either.

Moreover, the emperor is in a bad mood right now, so we can't go against anyone.

The concubines in the harem would occasionally come to Chengqian Palace to pay their respects. If they didn't want people to come so often, they would just ask people to come on the first and fifteenth of the month so as not to interfere with their sleeping in.

This day is for paying respects.

Everyone was sitting in Chengqian Palace, chatting, when suddenly the topic of Zhen Huan came up.

Consort Xin: "Your Highness, I wonder why Consort Zhen was suddenly deposed?"

Consort Zhen: "Yes, no one else has received the news either."

Kang Changzai: "She must have done something shameful to be deposed by the emperor and her whole family exiled."

Ye Lanyi: "Since the Emperor won't say anything, you should all keep your mouths shut. If the Emperor finds out and blames you, can you bear the consequences?"

Seeing that their talk was getting more and more outrageous, Ye Lanyi spoke up to prevent it from reaching the Emperor's ears, so that he would feel that such a thing had happened so soon after he started managing the harem.

Consort Zhen: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

Consort Xin and Consort Kang remained silent.

Afterwards, everyone chatted about some interesting things and then sent them all home.

Several years have passed.

It was time for Hongtai to go to the Prince's residence.

"Mother, your son will come to see you often. Please take good care of yourself."

Ye Lanyi looked at the little person speaking such sensible words and felt a little reluctant and touched.

Ye Lanyi: "Don't worry, Mother will take good care of herself. Siyuan, you also need to rest and eat well, okay?"

Hongtai: "Mother, I often eat with Father. With Father supervising me, I will definitely eat well. You should also eat well on your own. I will listen to you and rest well."

Ye Lanyi hugged the person: "Mother will definitely take care of you. Just take good care of yourself and I'll be at ease. Listen to your father!"

Hongtai: "Sons always listen to their mothers."

With his genius mind and the Emperor's education, Hongtai's future potential was evident even at a young age.

The Emperor finally felt relieved to have some good news and devoted himself to raising his child.

Ye Lanyi gave the emperor a subtle hint during one of his visits: the emperor is extremely suspicious, and she couldn't let him have any doubts, otherwise he would investigate.

He also bought a loyalty talisman for Su Peisheng, thinking that he still needed this help, since it would allow him to get firsthand information from the emperor.

There are 1,000 points left.

Because of Consort Xi, the Emperor didn't treat the Fourth Prince Hongli very well.

Now we're just waiting for Hongtai to grow up.

It was time for the imperial concubine selection again. The emperor chose a consort from the Suochuoluo clan for the fourth prince, and some new women were also selected to enter the palace.

After that, the emperor would mostly visit the new concubines when he entered the harem, and would only occasionally come to Chengqian Palace.

Among the new concubines, only Consort Wang became pregnant and eventually gave birth to a princess. The emperor did not promote her, but only gave her the title of Consort Wen.

The emperor could count the number of times he entered the harem on two hands each month.

It's a pity for these new concubines in the harem; the old ones are no longer very interested.

The emperor is getting old. Those with children no longer want to serve him, while those without children think that after so many years, they can't have any more children anyway.

Moreover, with so many new women in the palace, it was hardly the turn of the older generation, so they all stopped having any ideas.

Consort Ning managed the harem without mistreating anyone, so life was able to continue peacefully.

Previously, Ye Lanyi had mentioned the corruption of the Imperial Household Department's bondservants to Su Peisheng, who then accidentally mentioned it to the Emperor. The Emperor immediately ordered the Blood Droplets to investigate, and the results were furious. The corrupt officials had their homes confiscated, were beheaded, and exiled.

As expected, Su Fei was the one who provided the most convenient assistance.

After the Imperial Household Department was purged, the Emperor had his own people take over the department, so there would be no more mistreatment of unfavored concubines, making it much easier for Ye Lanyi to manage the harem.

Ye Lanyi felt that staying in the palace for too long was too boring.

That day, when Meng Hanfeng came, she suggested that she go out of the palace with him and ask him to take her out for fun.

Meng Hanfeng: "Won't we be found out?"

Ye Lanyi: "I don't know, I have a stand-in. I'll have her stay in Chengqian Palace for me. You can get me a set of imperial physician's clothes and let her go out of the palace with you. If anyone asks, I'll say she's your newly accepted apprentice. There are so many people in the palace, and the Imperial Hospital must have a lot of apprentices, right?"

If something goes wrong, I can just use mental suggestion; mental power is quite convenient.

I feel like I'm pretty daring; having mental strength and space to save my life makes me bolder.

Meng Hanfeng: "Does she look exactly like you? You wouldn't happen to be the one who served me in bed, would you?"

Ye Lanyi: "That's right, so it won't be discovered. I'll just darken my face a bit more, and there won't be any problem. Don't worry, you definitely won't be able to recognize me."

Meng Hanfeng had no choice but to compromise.

Anyway, everyone in Chengqian Palace has used the loyalty talisman, so no one will tell anyone. Today isn't a day for paying respects either. Just release the substitute doll; simple communication won't be a problem, and we can handle it.

She changed into Meng Hanfeng's apprentice's clothes, and it just so happened that she had also taken on an apprentice. The little apprentice was not as tall as Meng Hanfeng, and the clothes were a little big on Ye Lanyi, but it didn't matter.

Imperial physicians usually had spare clothes prepared and kept in their resting areas.

After applying the makeup, I took out the cosmetics I collected from the last world, modified my facial features, thickened my eyebrows, and sculpted my features, making me look like a handsome imperial physician.

She stood up and walked up to Meng Hanfeng.

Ye Lanyi: "How about it? Can't you tell?"

Meng Hanfeng looked at him and realized he did indeed look like a man.

Meng Hanfeng: "Hmm, I can't tell at all that you're a woman."

Ye Lanyi: "Of course, you have to trust my skills."

Seeing her proud demeanor, Meng Hanfeng smiled. The more he got to know her, the less aloof she seemed. He figured the palace must have been a constraint on her.

Meng Hanfeng: "Yes, yes, you're the best."

Ye Lanyi went into the inner room and released the substitute doll.

Let's go.

Meng Hanfeng: "Is he inside?"

Ye Lanyi: "Well, it's just time for you to finish your shift, let's go."
