"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them responded in unison, and what followed was Concubine Lan's exclamation.
Hongli didn't understand what it meant.
Yi Changzai immediately stood up and picked up the child gently.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan is feeling unwell. Please call the imperial physician immediately."
Hongli would not refuse.
Seeing that Concubine Lan was no longer able to speak, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Concubine Yi also looked at Concubine Lan deeply.
Seeing the imperial physician come in, she picked up the child and stepped back a few steps.
Lanpin, who had been able to speak just now, lost the strength to open her eyes in just a few breaths.
The imperial physician gave the patient several injections, but they seemed to be of no use.
The imperial physician paused, turned his knees, and kowtowed to Hongli.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
Hongli was silent, knowing that this was not the imperial physician's fault.
Just as he was about to speak, Lanpin, who was lying there peacefully, suddenly sat up.
His eyes were fixed on Concubine Yi who was holding a child not far away.
Followed by a few rapid breaths.
His expression froze, and he fell back onto the bed with a thud.
Such a sudden change shocked the imperial physician.
He subconsciously turned around and probed, his fingers trembled, and he knelt on the ground again.
"Your Majesty, the young lady has passed away!"
Hongli let out a long sigh.
Yi Chang was holding the child on the side. She let out a cry of grief and then fell to the ground.
The sound of crying immediately rang out, causing the Seventh Prince to cry as well.
Hongli couldn't bear to scold him, and he couldn't bear to see the child crying out of breath.
She took two steps to Noble Lady Yi and said, "Get up. Concubine Lan doesn't want to see the child so sad."
Yi Changzai seemed to have no strength left.
Seeing this, Ziyun and Chunying, who were standing far away, hurried forward to help the man up.
Concubine Yi held the child in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, I have lost my composure. Please forgive me..."
Although he was apologizing, tears still kept falling.
There was also sadness in his voice.
Hongli reached out and squeezed Concubine Yi's shoulder.
"I know you're worried about Concubine Lan, so how can I bear to criticize you? But don't worry, I'll have someone take good care of Concubine Lan's funeral."
As he said this, he looked at the Seventh Prince again.
"From now on, the Seventh Prince will be in your care. Please take good care of this child. Do you understand?"
"Concubine obeys the decree."
What happened in Qixiang Palace soon spread to all the other palaces.
At that time, Concubine Yi had already taken the Seventh Prince back to Yonghe Palace.
Looking at the Seventh Prince who was sleeping soundly at the moment, Concubine Yi couldn't wipe away the smile on her lips.
Ziyun brought a cup of tea and brought it in, placing it on the table beside Concubine Yi.
"My lady, Concubine Lan's matter has been settled. The Emperor, in recognition of her contribution to the birth of the Emperor's heir, has ordered the Imperial Household Department to bury her with the rites of a consort."
Concubine Yi glanced at Ziyun.
"Ziyun, tell me, did I do something wrong?"
Ziyun's expression changed slightly, and he immediately knelt down.
"My dear, please understand me. I am your servant. How could I have such thoughts?"
Concubine Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"When I was in the mansion, you and Zi Yan grew up with me. I was framed and sent to the cold palace, so Zi Yan was favored and became my mistress."
"Unfortunately, she has not remembered the kindness we once showed her in the mansion, and has even said many bad things about me in front of the Emperor."
"Ziyun, tell me, how come people's hearts change so quickly?"
Concubine Yi's voice was faint, as if she was reminiscing about something.
But Ziyun could hear a hint of pride in his voice.
Yes.
She should be proud.
Without any effort, he got a prince.
Not a single beginning or end was left.
He was restored to his noble position, as if everything that happened before had never happened.
Such a good method should be proud of.
But Zi Yan got such a result because of her betrayal.
How can I gain my master's trust and save my life?
Ziyun was a little afraid to think about it.
But I have to think about it.
"My lady, Zi Yan was disrespectful to you and betrayed the long-standing bond between you and her as master and servant. This outcome was foreseeable."
