"Your humble servant... after examining Consort Yin that day, I discovered that her pregnancy was in very poor condition, and if she didn't receive medication, she might miscarry immediately. I truthfully informed Consort Yin of this, and she asked me to find a way to temporarily preserve her pregnancy. I did as she said. I deserve to die; I should have informed the Princess Consort of this matter sooner. I deserve to die a thousand deaths!" Bai Yifu knelt down with a thud, prostrating himself on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.

The Fourth Prince stared at the figure at his feet, kowtowing repeatedly, but his eyes remained unmoved. He wasn't the type to easily forgive someone just because they admitted their mistake and kowtowed. If it weren't for Honghui's understanding, he wouldn't have so readily agreed to allow the Princess Consort and the First Prince to have more contact; in fact, he would have preferred to reduce it. But the First Prince was simply too understanding, and the Fourth Prince couldn't bear to refuse his request.

"Is that all?" came the cold voice of the man who held the fate of the entire household from above.

Bai Yifu's heart was in his throat. He understood that Li Shi only wanted to use him to drag the Fujin down with her, while the Fujin only wanted to use him to suppress the Niohuru clan. Neither side cared about his life or death. Since that was the case, he could not become a pawn of either side, so he had to choose a path that offered him a chance to survive.

"That's all. This is all I know. I'm unaware of anything else and have never been involved in it." Bai Yifu was a smart man. He didn't immediately reveal what the Fujin had instructed him to do because he wasn't sure who the Fourth Prince truly favored.

The Fourth Prince stared at the slightly trembling figure for a long time before slowly saying, "Go back and pack your things now, and I'll have Su Peisheng escort you out. I want you to disappear from the capital completely. If I or anyone else in the manor sees you again, you might not be so lucky. I will announce in the manor: Doctor Bai privately instructed Madam Yin to bribe her and conceal the truth about the miscarriage, and has already fled to avoid punishment."

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Yifu had once cured his old ailment, Fourth Master might have killed him.

Knowing that he was unlikely to escape unscathed this time, Doctor Bai was already being shown mercy by the Fourth Prince by simply being sent out of the mansion. He dared not say anything more and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

After Doctor Bai left, Fourth Master beckoned Su Peisheng, who was outside directing people to harvest persimmons, into the room, whispered something in his ear, and then waved him out.

Seeing that things were almost settled, the Fourth Prince finally walked towards the west courtyard. As soon as he entered, Wu's maid saw him and immediately informed Wu. However, the Fourth Prince clearly wasn't there to see her. When she saw him enter Yin's room, she wasn't particularly angry, because she already knew from Li that Yin would not only no longer receive the Fourth Prince's favor, but would likely be disliked instead.

When Ye Ying saw the Fourth Master enter, she froze, almost forgetting to greet him. Since her miscarriage, Madam Yin's health had been poor, and her deliberate neglect of her health had made her appear even more sickly.

"Ye Ying, Ye Ying, it's so hot, quickly help me change into something lighter." Madam Yin called Ye Ying's name from inside the room.

"This servant greets Your Highness!" When Ye Ying finally came to her senses and curtsied, the Fourth Prince had already walked past her.

"It's so hot here, even if you wear thin clothes, it's still hot. How about I have someone bring some ice?" Fourth Master stepped into Madam Yin's room and saw her sitting upright in front of the bronze mirror, combing her hair.

Lady Yin was clearly not expecting the Fourth Prince to appear in her room like this. She immediately turned around, looked at him in surprise, and then slowly stood up, bowed to him, and said softly, "This concubine greets Your Highness!"

Looking at that thin, frail face, the Fourth Prince realized that Lady Yin was already beautiful, and with her sickly, delicate, and fragile appearance, she truly evoked a man's desire to protect her. However, when the Fourth Prince thought of her scheming and the play she had orchestrated at the Third Prince's residence, he came to his senses.

"I heard that you miscarried after being pushed by Niohuru at the Third Prince's residence. Is that true?" The Fourth Prince walked up to Madam Yin, grabbed her thin arm, and helped her up.

Lady Yin raised her timid eyes to look at the Fourth Prince, feeling somewhat surprised. Why was this happening? The Princess Consort hadn't come, nor had Lady Niohuru. Why was the Fourth Prince asking her this question alone? She had a few doubts in her heart, but she couldn't not answer the Fourth Prince's question.

It must be said that this woman is indeed very beautiful. Looking at this woman with tears in her eyes, any man would want to protect her.

"This matter is not Sister Niu's fault. It was I who should not have argued with you. Fourth Master, do you want to hold Sister Niu accountable for her mistakes?" Madam Yin decided to retreat in order to advance and test the Fourth Master's attitude.

"Tell me in detail what happened that day, and I will give you justice." Fourth Master helped Madam Yin back to her seat, while he himself sat on a long bench by the window, about three feet away from her.

"Yes," Madam Yin replied weakly, continuing, "That day, my sister Niu and I were watching 'The Drunken Concubine' at the Third Prince's residence. My sister was unhappy because the relationship between Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong in the play was different from that of the other sisters. Later, my sister went out to relieve herself, and when she didn't return, I was very worried, so I helped Ye Ying go out to look for her. Sure enough, I found her in the small garden of the Third Prince's residence. We admired the flowers together, and unfortunately, Ye Ying saw that I was thirsty and went back to get me some water. Niu's maid, Nianxue, also went to get something for my sister, leaving only my sister and me in the garden. Seeing that she was always sullen, I kindly advised her not to let the play ruin her relationship with the other sisters. Who knew that my sister would be so angry? Not only did she ignore my advice, but she also pushed me to the ground. Fourth Prince, please don't blame my sister. I think she may have acted impulsively and did such a foolish thing."

Madam Yin spoke with exceptional fluency and clarity, as if she had rehearsed it many times beforehand. The Fourth Master, observing this, was genuinely impressed by Madam Yin's acting skills. If he hadn't known beforehand, he probably would have been completely fooled by her words.

“Yesterday, the Third Prince’s residence sent a letter saying that when you were in the small garden, a maid happened to be there and saw everything that happened,” the Fourth Prince said, staring into Madam Yin’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yin froze, as if struck by lightning. Being young, she immediately felt a sense of shame, as if her lie had been exposed to her face.

What should I do? Someone saw me. What should I do now?

The room was unusually quiet. The gentleness on Fourth Master's face had vanished. He had said that on purpose to test Madam Yin. The expression on his face when he took Madam Yin's clothes said it all.
