"Let Physician Li come and take a look in a few days," Yinzhen said, still somewhat uneasy. The physician's skills were limited, and he wasn't an expert in any one area. A jack of all trades can't master any one skill.

"It's entirely up to you, Your Highness. Just let me know when you're free to come. You don't need to stay here with me. I know that if anything comes up, I'll let you know. If you have to come every time, it might interfere with your important business." Yin Qingyi seemed to have grown distant from Yinzhen after not seeing him for half a month. Before, they always addressed each other politely, but today she was very proper.

"What's wrong with you today?" Yinzhen felt a little uncomfortable being addressed as "Master" by Yin Qingyi. It had been a long time since this little woman had been so well-behaved, and this sudden display of discipline made him somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong." Consort Yin shook her head in confusion. If Consort Yin knew what Yin Zhen was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes. "You always say I'm unruly when I'm disrespectful to you (Yin Zhen: When did I ever say that?). Now that I'm being so proper, you're not used to it. You're really hard to please."

"Hmm, is there anything you need? Do you have enough money?" Yinzhen nodded, still steadily supporting Yin Qingyi.

"On New Year's Eve, I gave each of them three months' worth of monthly wages, and I still have some left, which should be enough," Yin Qingyi said casually, her eyes lighting up at the mention of silver.

"Heh, how generous! I'll pay for it myself. Here's an extra three hundred taels as your New Year's money." Yinzhen chuckled. He hadn't been wrong about the way the little woman's eyes lit up just now; she was still a little money-grubber, that hadn't changed.

"This humble servant thanks Your Highness for the reward!" Yin Qingyi wanted to bow to Yinzhen, but Yinzhen firmly supported her hands and waist, so she could only express her gratitude sweetly.

"You should just behave yourself. Just accept what I give you. I don't need you to thank me. There are plenty of people who want to express their gratitude. I don't need you to." Yinzhen naturally noticed Yin Qingyi's actions and said with some helplessness, "She's not even six months pregnant yet and her belly is already so big. Why does she still want to bow all the time? What if she falls while bowing with such a big belly?"

"Your Majesty is so kind." Yin Qingyi said, leaning her head closer to Yinzhen's chest, her heart racing slightly.

To be honest, her life had been quite good since she entered the palace, especially after Yinzhen returned and she served him in bed. Her life got better day by day, and Yinzhen was extremely gentle with her. However, she still didn't want to open her heart because she knew clearly that this was the future emperor, the supreme ruler, a man with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. If she gave her heart away, her future would probably be extremely tragic.

With these thoughts constantly on her mind, Yin Qingyi's somewhat restless heart gradually calmed down.

Holding Yin Qingyi in his arms, Yinzhen glanced at the person in his embrace with a puzzled look. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the person in his arms was still the same person, yet something seemed to be missing. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he just felt something was off. He didn't know what was wrong, but he had a feeling of unease in his heart. This feeling was truly absurd.

"My lord, I am a little tired. Let's go back." Yin Qingyi suppressed her excitement, straightened up, and looked up at Yinzhen.

"Alright." Yinzhen ignored the strange feeling in his heart and helped Yin Qingyi back to Luoxue Pavilion. As expected, Yin Qingyi had left Luoxue Pavilion today and wandered around outside for a while.

After that, Yinzhen would come to Yin Qingyi's place almost every day, even if it was just to take a look.

A few days later, Physician Li arrived. Yinzhen was busy with other matters that day, so he asked Su Peisheng to take Physician Li to Luoxuexuan. He himself did not go.

"Princess Yin." Imperial Physician Li greeted Consort Yin politely.

"Imperial Physician Li." Yin Qingyi suppressed her inner impulse and politely replied, looking at the crowd still standing beside her.

"Granny, I'm craving your hibiscus cakes. Could you make some for me?" Yin Qingyi suddenly said to Granny Qi beside her while Physician Li was taking her pulse.

"Alright, this old servant will go right away, very soon." Granny Qi had no suspicions.

"Qiuju, come here, I have something to tell you." After Granny Qi left, Yin Qingyi looked at Qiuju, who was standing on the other side, and said.

When Qiuju came closer, Yin Qingyi whispered a few words in her ear.

"Yes." Qiu Ju was puzzled at first, but she didn't ask. She went out, and soon only Yin Qingyi and Physician Li remained in the room.

"Does Physician Li know someone named Yin Hengyi?" Knowing that time was running out, Yin Qingyi didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

“Xiaoyi, you don’t need to test me. This is a long story, we can talk about it another time. Right now, your condition is the most important thing. It’s not good for you to get pregnant at your age, especially since this is your third child. I’m afraid the delivery will be very difficult. But don’t worry, I will prepare the medicine for you. However, I can’t place anyone in the Prince’s mansion for the time being. It’s because I haven’t been here long enough and I didn’t know you were here. Otherwise, I would have made arrangements earlier. So you must carefully check the people around you during the delivery. Granny Qi is a trustworthy person. She has been in the palace for many years and can do things for you that you don’t know. Do you understand?” Physician Li, no, it was Yin Hengyi, who looked at Yin Qingyi and smiled very gently, just like in his previous life.

"Brother." Yin Qingyi wasn't sure if she had heard Yin Hengyi's words clearly, but now that she was sure this person was her brother, Yin Qingyi's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose tingled as her tears fell.

"Xiaoyi, now is not the time to cry. I know you're going through a tough time, but don't worry, I will protect you." Yin Hengyi wanted to hug the little girl in front of him, but he couldn't. This was in feudal ancient times, and if they were seen together, they would definitely be doomed.

"Hmm, Xiaoyi, don't cry. Brother, can you come to see me often?" Yin Qingyi held Yin Hengyi's hand, her eyes filled with longing.

"Xiaoyi, we're not in this body with family now. If we see each other too often, people will gossip. Let's wait a bit longer. We'll have more opportunities to meet after Yinzhen ascends the throne." Yin Hengyi squeezed Yin Qingyi's hand, but only for a moment before pulling away.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Yin Qingyi's somewhat irrational mind finally came to its senses at the mention of the throne. What did her brother mean by that?

"Xiaoyi only needs to know that this world does not exist in that history. It is a parallel universe, so it is not impossible for Yinzhen to ascend the throne ahead of time," Yin Hengyi said with a smile. As for his plans, Yin Hengyi did not tell his younger sister.
