The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Ruo Fu, sitting beside him sipping tea, nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's all your money. So, are we still investigating?"

"Investigate! Investigate to the death!"

Hongli raised his voice.

If not satisfied.

She knew that all that talk about deep-rooted connections and centuries-old traditions was just a facade; either they hadn't seen the money, or they simply hadn't realized how much money it was!

Once they see it with their own eyes, they'll probably be more anxious than anyone else.

Taking advantage of Hongli's reddened eyes from worrying about the money, she immediately handed over a newly drafted palace rule: "Then approve this one as well. All accounts of the Imperial Household Department from now on must be clear and accurate, showing how many allowances were issued each month and how much each palace actually received. Apart from reasonable losses, there should be no major discrepancies."

Hongli's eyes were still fixed on the boxes of gold and silver. Without thinking, he said, "Granted."

If not, then laugh with complete satisfaction.

At the same time, the ranks of the former retainers of the Prince's residence were finally officially determined.

Gao Xiyue was the Consort Hui, residing in Xianfu Palace.

Ruyi was named Consort Xian and resided in Yanxi Palace.

Empress Fucha Zhuying was appointed Consort Zhe, and she moved into Jingyang Palace with Yonghuang and Jingxuan.

Su Luyun was appointed as a Consort Chun and resided in Zhongcui Palace.

Chen Wanyin was granted the title of Consort Wan and was also placed in a side hall of Zhongcui Palace.

Jin Yuyan was then granted the title of Noble Lady Jia and moved into Qixiang Palace.

Upon receiving the decree, Gao Xiyue almost jumped for joy.

Being granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort, surpassing Consort Xian who was Ruyi, was a joyous occasion. Being able to live in Xianfu Palace, which was closer to Changchun Palace, was another joyous occasion!

As expected, the Empress Dowager loves me the most!

Thinking this, she happily instructed the palace servants to pack her things, eager to move into the palace. She hadn't seen the Empress or Hua Lan for quite some time!

"Master."

Shuangxi quietly approached and whispered, "Master, the imperial physician has been summoned to Qingzhi Courtyard again. They're being very secretive, kicking everyone out of the courtyard except for the newcomer Rong Pei, who is left to serve. Even Yuanxin and Suxin couldn't stay."

Gao Xiyue frowned: "What does she mean by this? Seeing that the Empress and Hailan are busy entering the palace and no one is watching her, is she planning to cause trouble again?"

Shuangxi's eyes darted around: "How about I go over and take a look? Listen in?"

"Don't go." Mo Xin reached out and slapped him. "Haven't you had enough of being beaten up last time? That Rong Pei is like a mad dog, he'll attack anyone he sees. He's about to enter the palace, who will be responsible if he causes trouble again?"

Shuangxi was somewhat unconvinced: "Last time was last time. I didn't even have time to react before she bit me. This time, it's still uncertain who will win! Besides, I was just passing by. If she dares to make another move, I'll tell Sister Hailan on her when I get back to the palace!"

"Can't you just shut up already!" Mo Xin rolled her eyes. "You know she's crazy, yet you still insist on going near her. Do you have to get bitten to feel good? Just wait until we get to the palace. With the Empress and Sister Hailan there, I don't believe she can cause any trouble!"

Gao Xiyue also felt that Moxin's words were more reliable, and imitated Moxin by patting Shuangxi's other arm: "Quiet down!"

Double happiness can only be described as such.

But after a while, she couldn't help but say, "This servant really feels sorry for Yuanxin and Suxin. They've served her for so many years, and even if they haven't done anything great, they've certainly put in the effort. But Rong Pei has only been here for a short time, and she won't even let them near her for something as important as fetching the imperial physician. I don't know what's so good about Rong Pei that makes her so wary of her former confidantes."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, why don't we turn Yuanxin and Suxin to our side?"

Gao Xiyue was taken aback: "Turning them to their side?"

"That's right!" Shuangxi felt increasingly clever as she spoke: "Those two are old-timers at Qingzhi Courtyard, what don't they know? If we bring them over, we'll know everything that happens at Qingzhi Courtyard, right? And that Rong Pei, we can find fault with her together and bring her down!"

"Shut up!"

Mo Xin slapped him on the shoulder again, her face serious: "What Her Majesty the Empress detests most is this kind of meddling in other people's affairs. What's the first rule of the manor? Have you forgotten? Each courtyard should keep to its own duties and not bribe servants of others! I know you still remember the grudge from last time. In the end, it was my fault for being useless and letting Rong Pei bully you, causing you to suffer as well. But we servants may be angry, but we can't encourage our mistress to break the rules. Our mistress is pregnant with our little master, and the most important thing at this time is to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. How can we offend Her Majesty the Empress over something like this?"

Shuangxi jumped in surprise and immediately knelt down, saying honestly, "Sister Moxin is right. This servant misunderstood. Please forgive me, Master. This servant was confused!"

He then threatened to slap himself.

Gao Xiyue smiled, supporting her aching back as she walked over, gently kicking the tips of her celebratory shoes: "Alright, get up. It's nothing serious. I know you're standing up for Moxin. But Moxin is right, the rules set by the Empress, oh, Her Majesty the Empress, cannot be disobeyed! But have you forgotten that I am now a Noble Consort!"

Gao Xiyue raised her chin, her expression both charmingly naive and smug: "Ulanara is nothing more than a concubine now. If I really wanted to teach her a lesson, would I need to sneak around looking for any leverage? And that Rong Pei! A mere head maid, if I wanted to teach her a lesson, it would be a piece of cake! You all just wait until you enter the palace, and when the opportunity arises, I will avenge you!"

Shuangxi immediately smiled: "This servant thanks you, Master!"

Gao Xiyue was in a good mood and didn't want to mention those spoilsport people from Qingzhi Courtyard anymore. Turning her head, she saw her zither and suddenly became very interested: "Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Today, this Imperial Concubine is in a good mood, so I'll play a tune for you!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xin laughed: "Master, you've only been tiring for half a day, aren't you tired?"

"Playing the piano doesn't require your legs." Gao Xiyue sat down excitedly. "Quick, quick, move that flowerpot by the window over and arrange it nicely!"

The room quickly became lively again.

However, the Qingzhi Courtyard was eerily quiet.

Ruyi sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the young imperial physician before her, a mixture of worry, anticipation, and a calmness that seemed to indicate she already knew something and was just waiting for him to confirm it for her.

"Imperial Physician Jiang, is there any hope for my health?"

Jiang Yubin pursed his lips, looking somewhat at a loss.

What does it mean to be saved?

The future Consort Xian's pulse was steady, and she looked healthier than many of the old doctors in the Imperial Hospital who complained of backaches and leg pains every day.

He had already carefully checked her pulse twice.

I didn't find anything.

The way she looked at him, however, seemed to confirm that she harbored some terrible hidden illness and was just waiting for him, the divine healer, to clear the fog and reveal the truth.

Jiang Yubin was in a dilemma when he suddenly remembered the earnest advice given to him by a senior member of the Imperial Medical Academy:

"These ladies in the palace, especially those hoping for offspring, if you feel their pulse and think they are healthy, and you simply say they are perfectly fine, most of them won't believe you. If they haven't conceived after so many years, and you still say there's nothing wrong with them, who are you insulting? The safest way to put it is that they are slightly deficient."

As for where they suffered losses, there's no need to be too definitive. And why they suffered losses? We can't make a definitive judgment either. Just use vague terms like overwork, worry, or exposure to cold, and advise them to take it easy and rest.

Prescribe a few more mild tonics that won't harm her. If she does become pregnant later, it will be due to your effective treatment. If not, it simply means her constitution still needs time to recover.

When Jiang Yubin heard this, he thought, "Isn't this just fooling people?"

Sitting here now, he suddenly realized that the experience gained by the older generation was indeed earned at the cost of their lives.
