After Nianxue left, Su Peisheng jogged back to the East Courtyard.

He went into the room, whispered Nianxue's words in the Fourth Prince's ear, and then withdrew. Although he endured Consort Li's disdainful look, he had no choice but to accept it, thinking to himself: She only came because of your son.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Doctor Bai, shall we mix the medicine into the breast milk and let the Fourth Prince drink it?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai thought for a moment and said, "Fourth Prince is wise, and this servant is truly foolish."

After saying that, Fourth Master immediately told the wet nurse to go to the inner room to express milk, while Doctor Bai had already ordered someone to prepare the medicine to reduce fever.

After a flurry of activity, the Fourth Prince finally managed to take the medicine, and his rosy cheeks gradually returned to their fair complexion. He was now sound asleep.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince's fever had subsided, the Fourth Prince got up and said to Lady Li, "You should also have some dinner and keep a close eye on the Fourth Prince." Seeing that she was always frowning and only knew how to cry, the Fourth Prince was also a little annoyed.

Lady Li assumed that the Fourth Prince would definitely stay tonight; he had been heartbroken by his appearance earlier. Seeing that the Fourth Prince was about to leave, she immediately pleaded, "Your Highness, I've already ordered dinner to be prepared… and I also have something to say to you!"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Master glanced at the sky and saw that it was already completely dark outside. He guessed that the little princess had finished eating, so he said, "Alright, tell them to bring it up."

The dining table was set, and the meal ordered by Madam Li was delivered from the kitchen. When Fourth Master saw it, although there was chicken, duck, fish, and meat, it didn't whet his appetite.

"Master, the Third Prince came to me today and said that he was beaten up." Li Shi said with a wronged look on her face, staring at the Fourth Prince with a slightly probing tone.

"Oh? Someone dares to hit the Third Prince?" The Fourth Prince asked knowingly. He knew from Li's words that she wanted to complain.

"The Third Prince went to play in the courtyard today and saw a beautiful water bird. He wanted to tease it, but unexpectedly, he ran into Princess Niu!" Seeing that the Fourth Prince's face remained sullen, Madam Li continued.

"Girl Niu hit the Third Prince?" The Fourth Prince raised his eyes and stared at Madam Li. He disliked women badmouthing each other behind their backs the most. Lanqin had already told him the whole story, just like the little eunuch had said. Now he wanted to see what Madam Li had to say about it.

"Your Majesty, our Third Prince is such a well-behaved child. I don't know why, but Lady Niu grabbed his ear without even asking what happened!" Madam Li looked like she was about to cry, thinking to herself: I just saw that the Fourth Prince was sick, and now the Third Prince has also been wronged. Your Majesty must be dissatisfied with that girl.

Suddenly, the Fourth Prince slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up, shouting, "Li Shi, you have failed in your duty to raise your son, resulting in the Third Prince showing no respect for his elders and lacking manners! Furthermore, you have not done a good job in raising the Fourth Prince. He is now confined to the house for a month. Starting tomorrow, the Third Prince will move to the front courtyard, and I will personally teach him."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door, and Su Peisheng immediately followed.

The people in the room were like puppets at this moment, and no one dared to go forward to comfort Li.

Li was terrified. She couldn't believe that the good atmosphere she had just imagined would turn out like this. Not only had she caused the Fourth Prince to dislike Niu Gege, but she had also been confined to her quarters, and even the Third Prince was going to be moved out.

Fourth Master walked with a dark expression, moving extremely fast, so fast that even the hem of his robe fluttered in the wind. Su Peisheng practically jogged to keep up with him.

This Lady Li is truly becoming more and more unbecoming. The Third Prince has been raised by her for years, and his habits have probably been corrupted. Just now, in her quest for favor, she disregarded the Fourth Prince's illness and then turned around and stabbed him in the back, escalating a small matter into a major one. She really doesn't deserve the position of a secondary consort.

"Let's go to the Fujin's place." The Fourth Prince turned and walked towards the main courtyard.

Ulanara was being led by Xia Hetong, and she knew everything that had happened that day. Just as she was pondering how to control Niu Gege, a servant outside called out, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

The princess immediately opened her eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and saw that the fourth prince had already entered.

He waved his hand, sat down to the side, and said to Granny Li, "Granny Li, go get me some midnight snacks!"

Granny Li immediately curtsied and went to fetch a midnight snack for the Fourth Master, who hadn't eaten enough.

"Your Highness, is the Fourth Prince feeling any better? I heard that Doctor Bai has been busy all afternoon!" the Princess Consort asked with concern.

"His fever has subsided. I'd like to move the Third Prince to the front yard to recuperate. I'm not comfortable leaving him with Madam Li. Besides, she has the Fourth Prince now, and it would be a distraction for her to take care of two children. Let's move the Third Prince to the front yard instead," the Fourth Prince said.

"Your Majesty's consideration is absolutely right! The Third Prince is getting old, and it's time to hand him over to a tutor for his early education and guidance." The Princess Consort was secretly pleased.

"Although it's warmer these days, there are still frequent cold winds. Eldest Princess and Second Princess, you should also be careful," Fourth Master said.

The eldest princess was born to Lady Song, and was born weak and frail. The Fourth Prince disliked Lady Song because of this; other women gave birth to healthy children, but she gave birth to such a child. Therefore, the Fourth Prince entrusted the eldest princess to his wife to raise. The second princess was born to Lady Li. Although she was not born with any health problems, a princess's status prevented her from raising her own child. Lady Li was still a princess when she gave birth to the second princess, so the second princess was also given to the wife to raise.

"My lord, the eldest and second princesses are both fine. I've already told their wet nurses that if any of the princesses fall ill, they don't need to take care of them anymore," the princess said reassuringly.

Fourth Master nodded, and after finishing the midnight snack brought by Granny Li, he stayed at his wife's place for the night.

The next day.

As usual, the Fourth Prince got up at dawn and returned to his front courtyard. He originally wanted his wife not to get up with him, but after asking her several times to no avail, he stopped saying it.

As usual, the Fujin got up and, after seeing the Fourth Prince off, sat upright in front of the dressing table and let Chunliu style her hair.

"Madam, Lady Li was confined to her quarters by the master yesterday!" Seeing that Madam was expressionless, Chunliu told her about Lady Li's punishment to cheer her up.

However, the Fujin remained unmoved, still seemingly lost in thought: yesterday, the Fourth Prince had stayed at her place, but hadn't touched her all night. The Fujin was also a rigid person; since the Fourth Prince didn't move, she could only suppress the turmoil in her heart and stubbornly lie motionless beside him.

"My lord, I'm afraid he's exhausted his energy with that Consort Niu. He's just resting here." The Fujin sighed silently to herself, then said to Chunliu, "When it's fully light, go and deliver a few bolts of my new silk to Consort Yin. She's young; she looks beautiful in such delicate colors!"

Chunliu agreed in a daze, not knowing why the Fujin suddenly brought up Lady Yin again.
