"It shouldn't be possible, Her Highness's health is better than the Empress's."

Besides, the Empress wouldn't benefit from deceiving the Lady.

This servant believes that this prescription is the one the Empress herself used to conceive.

Ping'er's words pleased Wei Hanyu, who reached out and shook the prescription in her hand, then nodded with an "Mmm".

"You're right, the recipe is indeed genuine, but the Empress wouldn't be so kind as to give it to me for nothing."

Perhaps the Empress has other intentions, but I cannot yet fathom her thoughts, and it is not appropriate for me to make any hasty conclusions or guesses.

Wei Hanyu turned and handed the prescription to Ping'er, instructing her to find an opportunity to have the imperial physician who had come along take a look at it.

Ping'er: ...

"Does Your Highness want to use it immediately? There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Wei Hanyu nodded and then shook her head. "No rush, but once the prescription is finalized, I can show the same attitude as the Empress."

"There's no need to hide it from others; let the Empress see it. I've gone to fetch the imperial physician."

At this moment, Wei Hanyu's cleverness came out.

She felt that the Empress was definitely watching her every move, so she decided to put the probing in the open and let the Empress see it.

Putting aside the Empress's actions for now, simply telling this story would also benefit her.

It's always better to have a flaw than to be completely flawless. After all, how can anyone be without flaws?

Ping'er understood immediately and nodded to show that she complied.

"Yes, you may go and get back to work. I'll rest now, as I still have to serve His Majesty tonight."

Wei Hanyu stretched out her hand and yawned, feeling sore all over her body.

It's not easy, it's really not easy. Taking care of someone emotionally is also a tiring job.

She wasn't so bad when she was serving others, but after being a master for so long, she's not used to doing anything anymore.

After sending Ping'er away, Wei Hanyu simply went to bed for a short rest.

Once he woke up and felt refreshed, he changed into a qipao and went to the emperor.

The days of the eastern tour were dull and tedious, and Hongli, having been holding back for so long, wanted to vent.

Among the concubines he brought, only Wei Hanyu was able to cooperate with him to some extent in doing whatever he wanted.

Therefore, the emperor frequently summoned Wei Hanyu to his bedchamber, while others were only occasionally seen by the emperor, which was considered normal.

"Your Majesty, you guessed correctly. Consort Wei really did send someone with the prescription to the imperial physician."

Dong Han helped the Empress to her feet and fed her the medicine he was holding.

The Empress didn't take it to heart. "Consort Wei has some cleverness, but not much."

If I give her the prescription, given her personality, she'll probably be eager to use it.

"It's good that it works. The prescription is excellent. I'm happy that Consort Wei can bear many imperial heirs for the Emperor."

How could I not be happy? The prescription is indeed fine, but what kind of good person can keep having children without being affected?

The reason why Consort Chun and Consort Jia had problems giving birth and were unable to conceive later was because their pregnancies were easily tampered with by others.

A prescription is just a tool to help someone get pregnant, but the process of pregnancy and childbirth still depends on one's own efforts to get through it safely.

The Empress's prescription for Wei Hanyu could be interpreted as either ill-intentioned or a way of helping the other party.

After all, the prescription is indeed usable, but how well one can achieve results with it depends on their own abilities.

The Empress did not believe that Wei Hanyu would be the final victor, perhaps due to the limitations imposed by her privileged background. In reality, the Empress hoped that the entire harem would descend into chaos.

Since she's almost gone, wouldn't it be rather boring for the palace to remain peaceful and quiet?

Besides, she has had three children over the years, and of her two remaining daughters, one is married far away and the other is still young. She always has to plan for her daughters' future.

Ha Yihu, you should come back if you can. Staying in the capital is better than staying in Khorchin.

"Cough cough cough, Donghan, how is Consort Jia doing? How's the progress?"

"Your Majesty, progress is going well. Consort Jia is not awake for long these days, and her body is becoming increasingly cumbersome. She should be able to go down to accompany Prince Yongcheng soon."

"That's right. Once this is done, we'll fulfill our promise to Wen Yu."

As for Wen Yu, I can only say I'm sorry to her; if she stays, the Jin family will not let her go.

"..."

The master and servant chatted idly, completely oblivious to revealing some of their accomplices.

Anyway, this is their territory, and it would be extremely difficult for any news to get out.

The commotion during the Eastern Tour is temporarily irrelevant to Chen Yuwei in the palace.

After sorting out the accounts left by the Empress, Chen Yuwei began a more relaxed daily life.

It wasn't until the Imperial Household Department submitted the list of palace staff who would be leaving the palace this year that the situation changed.

Every year, the palace releases some older palace servants or those who have received favors from the emperor. This is directly related to the annual selection of palace servants.

Originally, the list wouldn't have been given to Chen Yuwei, but now that all the mistresses of the harem have left, it's not her turn.

Since the Imperial Household Department couldn't find anyone, they decided to send him to Yikun Palace as a formality.

Since the personnel leaving the palace have already been decided, it's not so easy to change one or two of them.

Chen Yuwei didn't intend to change any of them, since these palace servants who left the palace had no connection to her.

However, Xia He, who frequently interacted with the Imperial Household Department and was quite familiar with certain people and things, found the list of personnel that was sent to her somewhat interesting, and even had some problems.

"Problem?" What problem? Is there something fishy about the list of people leaving the palace?

Xia He hesitated, "Master, it's nothing suspicious."

"Yes, there are too many Qixiang Palace and Changchun Palace."

Generally speaking, it is normal for a palace with a principal concubine to send out two or three people each year, four or five people is considered a lot, and if it is seven or eight people, it can only mean that the palace will most likely be closed down and people will be purged.
