When Honghui came out of the main room, Doctor Bai was standing in front of the octagonal window of the side room, watching the eldest prince and the little eunuch who was with him come out. The princess's warm and gentle smile had been on her face the whole time, but when Honghui walked into the corner and could no longer be seen, not a trace of the smile could be found on the princess's face.

Dr. Bai's surname is naturally Bai, and his given name is Yifu. So people who know him have almost forgotten his real name, since his title and real name are only one character different.

When Doctor Bai entered the main room, the Fujin's complexion was noticeably worse than before. She was standing in front of a potted plant of the Eighteen Hermits, pruning the branches with a small pair of scissors.

"Dr. Bai is here! Do you know how to trim flowers? Could you help me trim them?" The princess raised her slender, elegant hand, adorned with gold and jewel-encrusted nail guards, and extended it towards Dr. Bai. The hand shone brightly in the sunlight streaming into the room.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Your Highness, as my hands are only good at taking pulses, not at using scissors." Doctor Bai bowed respectfully.

"Then let's see how to prune these flowers." The princess withdrew her hand and continued to tend to the camellias.

"Yes." Doctor Bai put down his medicine box, silently took a few steps forward, and stopped about three feet away from the Fujin.

"Dr. Bai, look at these flowers. Just like people, if you don't restrain them and let them grow freely, they'll become unrecognizable. So sometimes you have to use scissors to prune some branches that are growing too vigorously or too sideways, so that the main stem can continue to grow vigorously for a long time. Don't you agree, Dr. Bai?" The lady seemed to be explaining the principles of pruning and shaping to Bai Yifu, but they both understood that what she really meant was not what they were currently handling.

"Your Highness is absolutely right, I have learned a great deal." Doctor Bai thought to himself that he was just a doctor, honestly treating patients and earning a salary and consultation fees, which was enough to ensure his family's livelihood and peace. Now, he had to live in fear for no reason, which made him very angry. However, he naturally dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction with his wife. "Doctor Bai has been in the household for five years now, hasn't he? I remember when you first came, you were penniless and your family was very poor, but your medical skills were superb. You cured the Prince's old ailment that had plagued him for many years. That's why the Prince favored you so much and invited you to join the household." The wife recounted Doctor Bai's past in detail.

"Whenever I think of the Prince's kindness to me, I feel as if I have been given a second life by my parents. I am now married and have children, all thanks to the Prince and his wife's kindness and support." Bai Yifu tried to make his words as tactful and pleasant as possible, trying to understand the meaning behind his wife's words.

"Dr. Bai, let's not beat around the bush. You know the situation in the manor now. When Fourth Master returns, he will definitely ask if Madam Yin showed any signs of miscarriage when she fell in the garden that day. I believe Dr. Bai knows how to answer that question." The Fujin still maintained her dignified and elegant expression, as if what she was doing was really just like the potted plant she was currently pruning, simply so that the main stem could grow better and more vigorously.

"That day, Lady Yin's pregnancy was only slightly unstable. I gave her three days' worth of medicine to prevent miscarriage, and she is now fine," Bai Yifu said quietly, his head bowed.

“Very good, Doctor Bai is indeed a wise man. I heard that Doctor Bai has an elderly mother who has been bedridden for many years. It makes me very uneasy to think that Doctor Bai has been living in the manor and working so hard for the safety of the Prince and the whole household, yet he cannot take good care of his own mother. Nanny, please bring out my small token of gratitude to Doctor Bai.” The Princess Consort casually placed the scissors on the flowerpot, turned around, and said to Doctor Bai as she walked towards the main couch, “Doctor Bai, I have a slightly poor appetite today. Please take my pulse first.”

"Yes." Bai Yifu glanced at his wife's face. She had some rashes on her forehead, which must have been caused by too much worry and restlessness today.

After the thin veil was draped over the Fujin's jade-like wrist, which was adorned with a gold bracelet inlaid with tortoiseshell and gemstones, Doctor Bai sat down on the embroidered stool that Xia He had brought over, and then placed his index and middle fingers on it.

"Dr. Bai, this is a small token of the Fujin's appreciation." Granny Li held a purse containing some silver notes. She took out some notes and showed them to Dr. Bai, then put them back in.

It was the first time Doctor Bai had ever seen so many silver notes, and he was indeed tempted. But then he looked at all the maids standing in the room and began to have doubts.

"These are all people who have followed me for many years, Dr. Bai need not worry." The Fujin saw through Bai Yifu's thoughts. The reason she had involved him in the first place was because she recognized him as an ambitious, intelligent, and driven individual. With such a person, once benefits were offered, she was not afraid he would not cooperate.

"Thank you, Madam. From now on, I will obey your every command." Bai Yifu knew he had no choice but to accept, even if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to escape the matter. Moreover, his elderly mother really needed care, and his salary from the Fourth Prince's residence was barely enough. This money would allow him to buy a few maids to support his mother.

After leaving the Fujin's quarters, Bai Yifu naturally found himself with a purse containing three thousand taels of silver in his sleeve. He had indeed struggled internally when accepting the purse, but how could a mere physician in the Prince's residence defy the noble Ulanara clan? If he went to the Fourth Prince and told him about the Fujin's actions, would he really be better off? Even if the Fourth Prince didn't pursue the matter, would the Ulanara family let him off the hook? Not to mention that the Fujin might have a backup plan, even if he told the truth, he couldn't do anything to her. Bai Yifu felt a chill run down his spine after standing beside that woman for the better part of an hour.

Unbeknownst to many, in the East Courtyard, Consort Li was holding the invitation handed to her by Feng Bochen. Looking at all the information her cousin had gathered about Bai Yifu, a smile gradually crept onto her lips. She had finally found a bargaining chip to force Doctor Bai to side with them.

"Que'er, go out again and tell my cousin that he must get the evidence against Bai Errun no matter what, and then bring it to me immediately," Li instructed Que'er. She secretly thought to herself, "This time, I'm determined to catch that woman!"

Lanqin, at this moment, pinned all her hopes on the letter she had written to the head nanny, hoping that the Fourth Prince would trust her, and then everything would become clear. If the Fourth Prince didn't trust her, she sat on the swing, holding Fubao, pondering this question.
