After Ye Qingcheng left.
Eunuch Yin began, "Your Majesty, this Princess Han..."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking towards the palace gate, and said meaningfully, "This woman is no ordinary person!"
After saying that, she looked at Ye Jingyu.
"My grandson, come, I'll take you to your bedchamber and have the imperial kitchen prepare something delicious for you."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
"Haha! Okay, what do you want to eat? Tell Grandpa the Emperor, and Grandpa the Emperor will have the Imperial Kitchen make it."
"Whatever Grandfather eats, I will eat too. I'm not picky about food."
"Oh! Hahaha! Good, indeed my good grandson."
The Emperor laughed heartily and led Ye Jingyu to his palace.
Meanwhile, on this side...
The matter of Ye Jingyu entering the palace.
The message reached the Empress instantly.
"What? The Emperor is with a child?"
At this moment, inside the Empress's palace, a maidservant respectfully reported.
Upon hearing the servant's report, the Empress was so shocked that the teacup she was holding trembled and fell to the ground.
“Yes, Your Highness,” the maid replied.
"Who is it? Whose child is that? What does the child look like? Can you see clearly?"
The Empress asked three questions with a tense expression.
"I didn't see clearly, but according to the person who brought the message, the child seemed to have entered the palace with Eunuch Yin and Doctor Ye."
"What? They entered the palace with Eunuch Yin and Physician Ye?"
"Yes."
"Could that child be Doctor Ye's?"
"It is not known at the moment."
After hearing this, the Empress remained silent for a moment, then, as if thinking of something, asked again:
"Has Doctor Ye set off yet?"
"They've already set off, and His Majesty has sent several guards to accompany them."
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Emperor seems to really like that child. He specially ordered the Imperial Kitchen to make some pastries that children like."
Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment later.
"Go, go to the East Palace and invite the Crown Prince over."
"yes."
soon.
The Crown Prince then went to the Empress's palace.
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry to summon me here?"
"According to our men, today Eunuch Yin and Physician Ye brought a child into the palace, and your father is very fond of that child."
"What? Mother, what child?" The Crown Prince was also shocked upon hearing this.
The Empress shook her head: "Empress Dowager doesn't know either."
"This...Mother, how about I go and take a look at Father's palace?"
The Empress nodded after hearing this: "Yes! That's why I asked you to come here."
"Alright, then I'll head over now."
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he turned and left the Empress's palace.
At this moment, the entire inner courtyard of the palace was filled with the news that the emperor had brought a child with him.
The concubines were like ants on a hot pan, jumping around restlessly, unable to sit still, and a commotion erupted.
Besides the Empress, there was also Consort Xuan.
Consort Xuan was the mother of the Third Prince and was greatly favored by the Emperor.
Some were also vying for the high position of the Third Prince, which led to a division in the court into two factions.
One faction was controlled by the Crown Prince, and the other by the Third Prince.
At this moment, Consort Xuan received the news.
She went straight to the emperor's bedroom to see what was going on.
Upon learning that Ye Jingyu was the child of Doctor Ye, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, considering the Emperor's attitude towards Ye Jingyu, she couldn't help but have doubts.
Upon returning to her palace, she immediately summoned the Third Prince.
"Mother, are you saying that Father Emperor is very fond of that child?"
“That’s right. That’s why Mother Consort suspects that the child’s identity is not simple. Otherwise, your father would never treat a commoner’s child like this. No matter how skilled Doctor Ye is, she is at most just a lowly commoner.”
"Yes! Mother's analysis makes sense. So, according to Mother's opinion..."
"That child cannot be kept."
"What? Mother Consort intends to harm that child?"
“That’s right. If Jing’er wants to climb to that position, all possible obstacles must be removed as soon as possible so that we can gain the upper hand.”
The Third Prince nodded after hearing this.
"By the way, how's the research on Doctor Ye coming along?"
“Mother, it’s strange, this Doctor Ye is really mysterious. I have investigated both openly and secretly, but I have not been able to find any information about him.”
"They can't find anything?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Consort Xuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes.
"Since we can't find anything, let's make her disappear forever, never to return. Arrange some assassins to take action while she's away from the capital."
"Yes, Mother."
This is the Empress's palace.
The Crown Prince went to the Emperor's palace, investigated it, and then returned.
"Your Highness, how is it?"
"Mother, that child is Physician Ye's."
"Dr. Ye's?"
"That's right."
"Hmm? That's strange. If it's Doctor Ye, why would the Emperor dote on her so much?"
The Crown Prince shook his head: "I don't understand either."
"It seems this child's identity is not simple."
"Mother, do you really think this child can be Doctor Ye?"
The Empress shook her head: "It's highly likely, but this Doctor Ye is probably more than just Doctor Ye."
"Mother, is something on your mind?"
"Yes! That's right. When you went to your father's place just now, your mother thought of someone."
Who is it?
