When Yinzhen arrived at Luoying Courtyard, he originally did not intend to enter Li's room but went directly to the Third Prince's room. However, as soon as he entered Luoying Courtyard, he saw Li, dressed in a flamboyant manner, standing at the door.

"Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! The Third Prince has been clamoring to see you every day these past few days, and I don't know what to do." Li Shi swayed her hips affectedly as she approached Yinzhen, almost leaning into his arms.

"Where is the Third Prince?" Yinzhen took a step back, his face darkening. This Lady Li used to seem decent enough, but how come she's become so pretentious after all this time? The Third Prince is still ill, yet she has the mind to seduce him. If it weren't for the two children, he would have already turned and left.

"...The Third Prince has just taken his medicine and gone to sleep. Would you like to come inside and have a cup of tea, Your Highness?" Li Shi was about to lean on Yinzhen when he stepped back, causing her to stumble and almost lose her balance. Hearing Yinzhen's cold words, Li Shi felt incredibly bitter. He had never treated her like this before.

"No need. Since the Third Prince has fallen asleep, I will come to see him again this afternoon." After saying this, Yinzhen turned to leave.

"My lord! Can you tell me what I have done wrong to make you treat me so coldly? You haven't visited my Luoying Courtyard for many days, and you only came today and are leaving again. How are I and my two children supposed to live in this mansion? Please, for the sake of the children, could you sit here for a while? Just for a short while, two quarters of an hour, no, just a quarter of an hour, is that alright?" Li Shi grabbed Yinzhen's sleeve and pleaded pitifully. Her carefully made-up face, with its frail appearance, made her look so pitiful.

Yinzhen turned to look at Li Shi, his eyes flickering slightly. It wasn't that he was tempted by Li Shi's appearance, but rather that he felt Li Shi was right. No matter how disgraceful Li Shi was, the two children were still his. Thinking this, Yinzhen turned around and went into Li Shi's room to sit down.

Li Shi's eyes flickered as she watched Yinzhen walk in. She pinched her fingers together in her palm, forced herself to remain calm, and walked inside. She kept reassuring herself that everything would be alright as long as she got pregnant this time. She repeated this to herself several times before her expression relaxed. Then she went in, gave Li Zhongde a wink, and swayed her hips as she walked in.

Li Zhongde, who was at the door, closed the door behind him and sent all the servants and maids who were near the room far away before standing guard at the door.

"Master, have some tea. You must be thirsty after your hurried journey." After entering the room, Madam Li glanced subtly at the incense burner in the corner before smilingly pouring Yinzhen a cup of tea.

Yinzhen didn't think much of it. He was indeed a little thirsty. He had been playing with the three children at Luoxuexuan for so long without drinking a drop of water before coming to Luoyingyuan. After taking a sip of tea, Li Shi, who was very perceptive, filled Yinzhen's cup again. Yinzhen drank three or four cups of tea in one go before stopping.

"If these servants don't serve you well, you can simply kick them out. How can you let the child catch a cold?" After stopping, Yinzhen began to talk about the child.

"Yes, it's all my fault. The weather has been a bit better these past few days, so I thought I'd take the children out for a stroll. But before I knew it, they'd been playing for a while and caught a chill." Standing beside Yinzhen, Li's voice was sweet as honey, almost cloyingly so.

The two exchanged a few words, but Yinzhen really didn't want to talk to Li Shi any longer. Li Shi's voice had always sounded normal to him, but now it sounded strange. The two stood and sat in silence, an awkward atmosphere filling the air. And then there was that faint, sweet fragrance, just like Li Shi's voice, which Yinzhen also disliked.

After a short while, Yinzhen suddenly frowned, his face flushed slightly, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused. A sudden heat surged in his lower abdomen. With these signs combined, how could Yinzhen not know what was going on? Anger welled up in his heart.

"My lord? What's wrong with you? Are you hot? Shall I help you undress?" Li Shi, who was standing to the side, naturally noticed the change in Yinzhen. Her eyes were filled with shyness, but her hand had already touched Yinzhen's clothes.

"Li Shi! Very well, you're quite something!" Yinzhen grabbed Li Shi's hand, which was about to cause trouble, and raised his eyes. The anger in his eyes terrified Li Shi.

"My lord, this concubine... this concubine doesn't know what you're talking about." Li's face, which had just been flushed, turned pale with fright at Yinzhen's gaze, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Yinzhen glanced coldly at Li Shi, then shook off her hand, stood up, and walked outside. But after only a few steps, someone grabbed his leg. Yinzhen looked down and saw that Li Shi was clinging tightly to his leg.

"My lord, I just miss you so much. Please have pity on me just this once?" Madam Li raised her head, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Get out! Shameless!" Yinzhen kicked Li Shi away and strode out.

"Li Shi is confined to her quarters for three months! As for you, fifty strokes of the cane and expulsion from the mansion!" Yinzhen looked coldly at Li Zhongde kneeling at the door and spoke coldly. He had not brought Su Peisheng with him today, so he had to speak for himself.

"Master, spare me! Master, spare me! This servant doesn't know what I did wrong to anger you so much. Please have mercy!" Li Zhongde was full of confidence, but he didn't expect that his master would come out in a rage so soon, immediately confining the princess and threatening to beat him! But these weren't the most important things; the most important thing was that he was expelled from the manor! This was a death sentence!

Yinzhen didn't say much. At this moment, the effects of the medicine on his body made him too busy to care about anything else. He only wanted to get back to Luoxuexuan and find that little woman as soon as possible, so he left Luoyingyuan quickly.

Luoxuexuan

Yin Qingyi was still playing with the three children, thinking that Yinzhen wouldn't be back so soon. Who knew that less than half an hour later, the man returned, and he looked very angry? What happened? Did Li Shi sabotage him? Did he come to settle scores with her? That shouldn't be the case.

"Why are you back so soon? Is the Third Prince alright?" Yin Qingyi asked cautiously as she stood up.

"Get out!" Yinzhen's eyes were red, his face was red, and his voice was full of anger, which frightened everyone. They immediately carried the three young masters out. Na Qi's nanny was a little worried. She looked at Yin Qingyi and saw Yin Qingyi nod to her before she walked out with a heavy heart.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Yin Qingyi walked to Yinzhen's side and asked softly.
