"Your Highness, the Prince has gone to Lady Li's quarters." The maid shrank back slightly, then forced herself to repeat herself.

"Bang!" The teacup in Geng's hand slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Li Shi! Li Shi, it's only because the prince is with her that the master went to her side. If, if..." Geng Shi touched her belly, but unfortunately she hadn't even received the prince's favor yet, how could she possibly have a child?

No matter how unwilling Geng Shi was, it was not something a mere princess could interfere with where the Fourth Prince wanted to go. For some, this night was a sleepless one, but for Yin Qingyi, it was no different from any other night; she ate and slept as usual.

The next morning, Yin Qingyi opened her eyes, still somewhat dazed. Looking at the sun outside, she wondered if she was sick, since she had woken up so early. But now that she was awake, she couldn't fall back asleep.

"Chunlan," Yin Qingyi called softly.

"Yes, Your Highness. You're awake? There's no need for greetings today." Chunlan was quite surprised that her princess could get up so early, thinking that Yin Qingyi was still half asleep.

“…I know, come here.” Yin Qingyi was speechless. Did they really think of her as a mistress who only slept until noon? (The three: Isn’t that right?)

Chunlan quickly went over to serve Yin Qingyi.

After Yin Qingyi finished tidying herself up, she went out and saw Xiao Jinzi returning with the meal. It has to be said that Xiao Jinzi is a very considerate servant. It's just that his mind is not settled yet. Otherwise, he would be a rare and valuable assistant.

As Yin Qingyi ate her breakfast with a sigh, she frowned instantly after taking a bite of almond porridge.

"Clatter." The spoon fell to the ground, and Yin Qingyi's face, which was contorted with pain, turned deathly pale. Her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

"Princess, Princess, what's wrong?" Chunlan was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. She stepped forward to support Yin Qingyi, who was unable to sit still, her voice trembling.

"Little Jinzi! Go to the main courtyard and find the Fujin!" Qiuju was also panicked, but she had to stay calm. Otherwise, what would happen to her mistress? If anything happened to her, none of the servants who served her would be safe!

"Okay!" Little Jinzi turned and ran, but tripped over the threshold and almost fell flat on his face. You can imagine how flustered Little Jinzi was at that moment.

After Xiao Jinzi left, Yin Qingyi was helped to bed by Chunlan and Qiuju.

"Princess, Princess, can you hear me?" Chunlan called out to Yin Qingyi from the bedside, her voice trembling with tears.

"Hmm." Yin Qingyi was too upset to speak at the moment, so she just gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent.

Looking at her princess's pale face, Qiuju wondered how she could have suddenly become like this. Remembering that the princess had drunk the porridge, Qiuju immediately turned around and guarded the porridge. This was evidence, and she couldn't let anyone lose it.

Main courtyard

"This servant, Xiao Jinzi, is from Luoxuexuan. My princess seems to have been poisoned. Please, Madam, save my princess!" Xiao Jinzi knelt down immediately after being led into the main courtyard by the nanny.

"What did you say? Consort Yin has been poisoned!" The Fujin stared in shock.

"This servant isn't quite sure either, but it looks like she's been poisoned. Please, Your Highness, send the royal physician to examine my princess." Little Jinzi's head banged on the ground.

"Granny, quick, send someone to fetch the royal physician. I'll go take a look first. Also, send someone to the front courtyard to invite the master." The Fujin's face was very unpleasant. She had just won over Consort Yin yesterday, and today Consort Yin had gotten into trouble. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

"Yes!" Granny Li also knew the seriousness of the matter, and her face was just as unpleasant as she quickly walked out.

Soon, things got lively around Yin Qingyi. The Fujin arrived before the physician and saw Yin Qingyi lying on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes. She thought Yin Qingyi had fainted and her expression turned even worse.

"What's going on here? How are you all serving your master!" The Fujin looked at Chunlan and Qiuju in the room, her tone very unpleasant.

“This servant deserves to die.” Chunlan and Qiuju knelt on the ground, offering no rebuttal.

"Greetings to the Princess Consort." The physician arrived at this moment and first bowed to the Princess Consort.

"Go quickly and take a look at Consort Yin." The Princess Consort waved her hand, signaling the physician to get up.

The physician from the imperial physician did not delay and went directly to examine Yin Qingyi.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Yinzhen came over during a break from the royal physician's appointments.

"How is it?" Yinzhen looked at his wife, his eyes scrutinizing her.

"The royal physician just arrived and hasn't diagnosed anything yet," the Princess Consort replied softly, her heart filled with bitterness. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet the Master's gaze was filled with suspicion. She was even more furious at the culprit; if she found out, she would make sure that person suffered a terrible fate!

Yinzhen didn't say anything more, but he was very angry. There were always some underhanded things happening in his own backyard, and he was already dissatisfied with his wife. If his wife hadn't mismanaged the household, these things wouldn't have happened.

Then he looked at Yin Qingyi. His impression of Yin Qingyi was this face—beautiful and radiant. Yesterday her face, which had been rosy, was now deathly pale, devoid of any color. He couldn't help but frown slightly. He still preferred the face he saw yesterday; although it was the same face, yesterday's was simply more attractive. (Yin Qingyi: If you're so capable, show me your face is still rosy when you're sick!)

"Your Highness, Your Highness's Wife." The physician bowed to Yinzhen and his wife after withdrawing his hand.

"What's wrong with Madam Yin?" Yinzhen asked the imperial physician.

"We need to see what Princess Yin just ate." The imperial physician dared not make a hasty conclusion. Princess Yin's pulse was very strange, seemingly indicating palpitations, but not quite.

“Gege just ate a bite of almond porridge, and then this happened,” Qiuju immediately said.

"Is it still there?" the physician asked.

“It’s right on the table,” Qiuju pointed to the table.

The physician went over, picked up the bowl of almond porridge, smelled it, then picked up an almond and put it in his mouth. He frowned immediately, spat out the almond, and returned.

"Your Highness, it's this bowl of porridge. The almonds aren't cooked properly. Princess Yin must be congenitally weak; she only ate one bite and then experienced palpitations and discomfort. This is actually a good thing. If the princess had eaten too much of this porridge, she might have been in mortal danger. Now, all I need to do is prescribe two doses of medicine." The physician breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't discovered any secrets. Now, he only needed to prescribe the medicine and he could leave.

"Go and get the medicine." Yinzhen nodded.

"Su Peisheng! Go and examine the master!" After the physician left, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng with a stern face.

"Yes!" Su Peisheng immediately withdrew.
