"Fujin? Let's go, we can talk as we walk." Yin Hengyi felt relieved; as long as it wasn't Xiaoyi, that was fine. Yin Hengyi ignored Su Peisheng's blatant accusations that his relationship with Xiaoyi was unusual.
"Yes, Vice President Li, this way please. I've prepared a carriage." Su Peisheng said, pointing to the carriage in the corner.
Yin Qingyi boarded the carriage, while Su Peisheng sat on the carriage edge, urging the horses along. He leaned his head against the curtain and whispered to Yin Hengyi about the Fujin (principal wife). After finishing, he fell silent. Not long after, they arrived at the Prince's residence, and Yin Hengyi got off the carriage and went directly to the Fujin's main courtyard.
After some effort in the main courtyard, Yin Hengyi finally managed to take Ulanara's pulse. The main problem was that Ulanara was uncooperative. She had to be held down by four strong nannies before she would lie obediently on the bed so that Yin Hengyi could take her pulse. A towel was stuffed in her mouth, and only then did the room quiet down.
"Vice President Li, what do you think of this Fujin?" Su Peisheng looked at Yin Hengyi, who had remained silent after taking her pulse, and wondered if the Fujin had really lost her mind.
"Well, I'm afraid it would be better to wait until Prince returns before I speak with him personally." Yin Hengyi released Ulanara's hand, without directly explaining to Su Peisheng whether Ulanara was truly insane.
"This... I'm afraid Master won't be back so soon." Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was something else going on with the Princess Consort's illness? Was it involving some unspeakable person?
"It's alright, I'll just wait," Yin Hengyi said casually.
"Then Vice President Li, please come back to the front yard with me." Su Peisheng nodded and led Yin Hengyi back to the front yard.
"Eunuch Su, please wait."
Su Peisheng and Yin Hengyi had just stepped out of the main courtyard with one foot, and hadn't even come out yet, when Granny Qi's voice rang out.
"Oh, what are you doing here, Granny? Does the Consort have something to tell you?" Su Peisheng asked quickly, somewhat surprised to see Granny.
"It's nothing, it's just that Master wants Physician Li to take his pulse." Granny Qi looked at Su Peisheng with a smile, her meaning clear: Physician Li had to go to Luoxue Pavilion with her.
“…Then, Granny, just take Vice-Director Li over there.” Su Peisheng’s lips stiffened. Was this concubine here to inquire about the principal wife’s condition? But then Su Peisheng thought again, let her inquire if she wants. Anyway, the master doesn’t care what the concubine does, so he, a eunuch, shouldn’t meddle.
"Please, Physician Li." Granny Qi was a little surprised that Su Peisheng was so easy to talk to, but whether he was easy to talk to or not, she was going to take him away anyway, so this was even better, as she wouldn't have to waste any more words.
"Alright." Yin Hengyi chuckled. This Su Peisheng was really quite interesting. It was fortunate that Yinzhen could find such a shrewd and capable servant, which saved Yinzhen a lot of trouble.
Luoxuexuan
Although Yin Qingyi was sitting in a chair reading the script and her eyes were fixed on it, she was actually looking at the main courtyard. When she saw that Granny Qi had left with her brother, Yin Qingyi smiled, looked away, closed the script, and sat up straight to wait.
Yin Qingyi didn't have to wait long before footsteps came from the courtyard gate. She got up and went to the gate, where she saw Granny Qi leading her brother in.
"Imperial Physician Li." Yin Qingyi's smile widened.
"Consort Yin." Yin Hengyi cupped his hands in greeting to Yin Qingyi, his eyes full of smiles.
"Come in." Yin Qingyi turned and walked inside. Yin Hengyi followed her in, but Granny Qi did not go in; she simply stood guard at the door.
At first, Granny Qi was not at all at ease letting her mistress be alone with this Physician Li, but after a while she figured things out. Naturally, she stopped going in and getting in the way.
"Brother, has Ulanara really gone mad?" Yin Qingyi asked bluntly.
"Xiaoyi, you think too highly of your brother. You can't tell if someone is crazy or not just by taking their pulse." Yin Hengyi sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. He hadn't had a sip of water since getting off work and had come to the Prince's mansion. He was dying of thirst.
"Is there anything you can't see?" Yin Qingyi looked at Yin Hengyi in disbelief.
“Brother, I’m a human being.” Yin Hengyi rolled his eyes at Yin Qingyi.
“…That would be difficult.” Yin Qingyi sighed, her whole demeanor drooping.
"What's so difficult about that? If she's real, all the better; if she's fake, I'll make her real! Such a good opportunity is right in front of us, it would be a real shame not to seize it. We can only blame Ulanara for pretending to be crazy." Yin Hengyi's lips curled into a cold smile. He remembered everything Ulanara had done to Xiaoyi, and he was worried about when he could get Xiaoyi back. And now, the opportunity had arrived!
"...Isn't this inappropriate?" Yin Qingyi looked at Yin Hengyi hesitantly. Although she said it was inappropriate, her shining eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
"...Don't pretend in front of me, I'm not like Yinzhen, who's all love-struck!" Yin Hengyi looked at Yin Qingyi with disdain. After all these decades, how could he not know what kind of person she was?
"...Tell me specifically what you're going to do?" Yin Qingyi felt that Yin Hengyi misunderstood Yinzhen. How could he see that Yinzhen was love-struck? Anyway, she couldn't see it, but she was too lazy to argue with her brother. What she wanted to know more about her brother's plan was...
"Do I really need to go into details? Just do it! Medicine plus acupuncture, and I guarantee she'll go completely insane." Yin Hengyi gave Yin Qingyi a strange look. What more details were needed? Wasn't it just a matter of getting to the point?
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yin Qingyi stared wide-eyed at her brother. Did he have to be so audacious? Was he really not afraid of being found out?
"Heh, you underestimate your brother. Don't worry, no one will be able to tell." Yin Hengyi smiled contemptuously. How could anyone tell when he made a move? What would be the point of him then?
"Hehe." Yin Qingyi gave Yin Hengyi a disdainful look. Still so narcissistic! But he's got guts, isn't he? Anyway, she was relieved that Yin Hengyi said that.
“But if this Fujin really goes mad, I’ll have a headache if Emperor Kangxi forces another Fujin on Yinzhen.” Yin Qingyi suddenly thought of this. To be honest, she really didn’t want the Fujin to go mad. At least this one was no longer a threat to her. If another one came in, it would be hard to say.
"Don't worry, Emperor Kangxi won't be this concerned about his son's harem these days, and... well, you'll find out soon enough." Yin Hengyi said mysteriously, but didn't finish his sentence.
