Suddenly, the princess got up from the bed, fell off the bed, and then, ignoring the maid's help, stumbled and crawled to the fourth prince's side.

Looking at the woman who had been with him for ten years and given birth to his eldest son, the Fourth Prince felt pity for her for the first time. Within days, the once full-figured face of the Fujin had become gaunt, and dark circles surrounded her eyes.

"You've lost weight!" Fourth Prince said in a hoarse voice, as he helped his wife who rushed to his side.

"My lord, Honghui is gone, Honghui is gone!" Tears streamed from the Fujin's dark, thick eyes, and her face was deathly pale.

Even the stoic Fourth Prince felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing this woman's grief. He pulled his wife into his arms and murmured in her ear, "Don't worry, Honghui is gone. All the children in this harem are your children. You are still my principal wife, and that will never change."

The princess immediately burst into tears in the fourth prince's arms. It was the first time she had ever thrown herself into this man's embrace, so freely venting her emotions. This embrace was so strong, this embrace was so safe, and for the first time she realized how much she clung to this embrace.

Since Honghui's death, his wife has cried countless times. From her initial shrill screams to her silent tears by the coffin, it was all just a kind of incredulous resistance. Only now has she completely vented the pain and sorrow in her heart.

Seeing the Fujin (principal wife) and the Fourth Prince embracing and weeping, Li Mama finally felt relieved for the Fujin. Although she had lost her legitimate son, she had won the Fourth Prince's pity and guilt. Honghui's passing would ensure that the Fourth Prince's guilt towards the Fujin would last forever.

If a woman knows how to use a man's guilt and pity, she can often achieve unexpected results.

Honghui has already left, and the Fujin must seize this opportunity to reconnect with the Fourth Prince as husband and wife, and even reset her position and impression in the Fourth Prince's heart.

Li Mama silently thought this to herself. She gave a look to the maids standing in the room, and they all silently withdrew, leaving only the Fourth Prince embracing his weeping wife.

Granny Li walked slowly to the entrance of the main courtyard and suddenly saw Consort Li, supported by Mingyan, swaying as she walked over on flowerpot-soled shoes.

Suppressing her disgust, Granny Li curtsied to Consort Li, who had approached.

"Granny, how is the Princess Consort today? Alas, the First Prince is gone just like that, my sister must be heartbroken." Madam Li picked up a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Consort. You are feeling better now." Granny Li did not want to tell her that the Fourth Prince had returned, and she also did not want her to go in and disturb the precious embrace between the Consort and the Fourth Prince.

"Hehe, may I go in and see my sister?" Seeing that Granny Li was standing at the door with no intention of leaving, Madam Li understood that Granny Li did not want her to go in. However, since the Fourth Master had already returned, it would be a bit unreasonable for her not to show up.

"The Princess Consort is somewhat saddened at the moment and is not fit to receive guests. Please ask the Consort to come another day." How could Granny Li not understand that Madam Li had come to see the Fourth Prince? She absolutely could not let this woman in and ruin the Princess Consort's rare opportunity.
