"It's entirely up to you, Your Highness." Yin Qingyi nodded. This was good; if Yinzhen sent someone, then it couldn't be a spy from another courtyard, and she could trust him with her. Naturally, she had no objections.

When Yinzhen saw how obedient Yin Qingyi was, he couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in his heart. If he didn't protect such a delicate little woman, the other women in the harem would surely devour her. He thought to himself that as long as she continued to be like this, it wouldn't hurt for him to spoil her a little more.

"My lord, the soup was cooked by a lowly eunuch in the kitchen. He arrived just as the person was already..." Su Peisheng returned with a grim expression, his words trailing off, but everyone present understood what he meant. The person was dead; there was no way to verify the story.

With a loud crash, Yinzhen waved his hand, knocking over the bowls and chopsticks on the table, which shattered on the ground. The surrounding servants immediately shrank back.

"..." Yin Qingyi, who was sitting in her seat, was startled by Yinzhen's sudden outburst of anger. Seeing the servants kneeling down, she hesitated, wondering if she should kneel down as well. Uncertain, Yin Qingyi slowly got up, but was pulled back by the furious Yinzhen beside her when she was only halfway up.

"Where to?" Yinzhen asked.

"I... this concubine..." Yin Qingyi was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Were you frightened?" Yinzhen pulled Yin Qingyi to sit down and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Yin Qingyi was indeed frightened and nodded gently.

"I didn't mean it. I will definitely find out the truth about this. Su Peisheng, go and bring Mingyue Fengqing here." Yinzhen raised his hand and touched Yin Qingyi's hair. It felt so good, so clean and refreshing. It was different from the hair he had seen on other women. Their hair was always oiled, and although it looked shiny and smooth, it left oil on your hands. Yin's hair was different. It was always clean and refreshing. He had wanted to touch it for a long time. It was just as he had imagined. No, it felt even better than he had imagined.

"Yes." What could Su Peisheng do? He should be happy that his master always thought of him first when he needed to do something, which proved that his position in his master's heart was unshakable. But he was also helpless. His master always called on him for everything, and he was tired.

“Mingyue is skilled in martial arts. Taking her with you when you go out will ensure your safety. Feng Qing is skilled in medicine. From now on, everything you eat must be inspected by her before you can eat it.” Yinzhen looked at the bewildered Yin Qingyi and patiently explained to her.

"Good, Master is so good." Yin Qingyi was overjoyed, and her dependence on Yinzhen deepened, almost burying herself in his arms.

"If you continue like this, I will continue to treat you well." Yinzhen pulled Yin Qingyi to sit on his lap, resting his chin on her head, his tone full of doting affection, but his words were somewhat difficult to understand.

"This concubine has always been like this." Confused, Yin Qingyi tried to look up at Yinzhen but was held in place by him.

"Yes. I know." Yinzhen's voice came from above, but his expression was not visible, so it was impossible to tell whether he believed him or not.

The two remained silent, but the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Yin Qingyi was almost asleep while waiting in Yinzhen's arms when Su Peisheng finally brought her over.

"Master, the person has been brought." As soon as Su Peisheng finished speaking, two people walked in behind him.

"This servant greets Your Highness, and Lady Yin." The two knelt down to pay their respects.

"From now on, you will follow Consort Yin. If anything happens to Consort Yin, you will be the first ones to be held accountable." Yinzhen looked at the two kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

"We will definitely take good care of you, Princess." The two of them crawled even lower on the ground.

"Hmm, take a look, is it still to your liking? If you don't like it, I'll change it for you." Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, then asked Yin Qingyi.

"Satisfied, thank you, Your Highness." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen.

"I'm glad you like it. As for the nanny, I have other plans. She'll be here in a few days." Yinzhen was pleased to hear this and felt even more fond of Consort Yin. He had just thought about the nanny matter. He didn't trust any of the other nannies, so it seemed he could only ask Nanny Naqi to handle it. However, Nanny Naqi had already retired from the palace, so he would have to go there in person to ask her.

"Hmm, this concubine is not in a hurry." Yin Qingyi didn't care. In her opinion, having a bright moon and gentle breeze was already very good. Whether the nanny was a nanny or not didn't matter anymore.

The news that Luo Xuexuan had hurriedly summoned the royal physician spread throughout the backyard in no time. Everyone had different thoughts, but the general idea was probably the same: Madam Yin was probably really in bad shape. In the past month or so, they had summoned the royal physician countless times. Although the royal physician kept saying that Madam Yin was weak and would get better after a period of recuperation, it had been more than a month and she still hadn't gotten better. They had to summon the royal physician every day.

Only the main courtyard and Madam Li didn't quite believe this claim. They both thought that Madam Yin was pregnant, otherwise why would the master go to her Luoxue Pavilion every few days?

"Are you sure you've swept the tail clean?" Li asked casually.

"Don't worry, Princess, everything has been cleaned up. No one will trace it back to you," Li Zhongde whispered from the side.

"Hmm, well done. Hmph, Madam Yin wanted to secretly secure the pregnancy, how dare she! I didn't expect Master to actually help her keep it a secret. Since you're keeping it a secret, just pretend this child never existed." A flash of jealousy crossed Madam Li's eyes. She absolutely refused to believe that Master's heart had begun to lean towards Madam Yin; it must be that bitch Madam Yin seducing Master!

"Your Highness is wise," Li Zhongde and Liu Mei replied softly from below.

They all thought that Yin Qingyi's pregnancy was doomed, since they knew exactly how much medicine she had taken. They knew that if Yin Qingyi had taken even a sip, she would not have been able to save the child.

Su Peisheng rushed to Luoxue Pavilion with the imperial physician so hastily, so Madam Yin must have been drinking, otherwise why would she be in such a hurry?

Main courtyard

"Granny, what do you think of what happened at Luoxue Pavilion today?" The Fujin was copying Buddhist scriptures, but her mind was not at peace.

"The old servant can't figure out why Luo Xuexuan has been summoning the family physician every few days. Today, someone attacked Luo Xuexuan, or did Luo Xuexuan have another relapse?" Granny Li shook her head.

"Never mind, whether someone attacked her or she did something wrong herself, we'll just have to wait and see. I'm sure we'll know soon enough." The princess looked at the Buddhist scriptures she was writing on, which were rather messy, so she put them aside and took a new sheet of paper to write on.

Luoxuexuan

"Master, do you have any maids who are skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?" Yin Qingyi asked as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Why are you asking this?" Yinzhen raised an eyebrow.
