Su Peisheng had prepared the soup long ago. He knew his master would feel unwell today when he saw how drunk Yinzhen was last night. Although he didn't know what had happened yesterday that made his master drink alone, since he had been with his master all day, he sighed. It was hard to guess what his master was thinking.
After finishing his soup, Yinzhen got up and let Li serve him.
Lady Li hadn't slept all night, and her head was throbbing with pain, but she still endured the discomfort and dressed Yinzhen properly.
After Yinzhen left, Li Shi sat on the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked the same as before, so why did she no longer attract her master?
All of this is because of that vixen, Lady Yin! Ever since the master favored her, he has never treated her the same way again! Lady Li reached out and touched her face. If Lady Yin's face were ruined, would the master be able to see her again? The more Lady Li thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Wasn't Lady Yin's only advantage over her that face? As long as that face was ruined, the master would still be hers!
"Li Zhongde, you still haven't done what I asked you to do!" Madam Li turned to look at Li Zhongde as he walked in, her tone icy.
"Please forgive me, Princess, but Luo Xue Xuan is now as impenetrable as an iron barrel. Those wet nurses never leave Luo Xue Xuan, nor can they communicate with their families. Even if their families are arrested, they can't be informed. So there's really no way to threaten or bribe the wet nurses." Li Zhongde had a headache. He didn't know when Luo Xue Xuan had become so heavily guarded.
"Then abandon the plan to bribe the wet nurse. I have other things for you to do now." Madam Li no longer cared about the three children; the biggest threat to her now was Madam Yin!
“Go…” Li whispered a few words in Li Zhongde’s ear.
"This...this servant understands." Li Zhongde was startled after hearing this. He looked up at Li Shi and saw a crazy light flashing in her eyes. He silently shut his mouth, which he wanted to use to persuade her, nodded and stepped back.
"Eunuch Li, what did the princess say?" Liu Mei asked quietly at the door.
"What else can I say? We still have to take action against that person." Li Zhongde had a headache. Following such a troublesome person was really a headache.
Liu Mei nodded knowingly. She didn't ask any more questions; she would find out later anyway.
Yin Qingyi, who was sleeping in Luoxuexuan, was unaware that a certain man had brought trouble upon him.
Yinzhen drank some wine again in the evening. He had been feeling unwell all day because of the wine he drank yesterday, and he shouldn't have been drinking since he was going on an inspection tour with the Emperor and Empress Dowager tomorrow. However, Yinzhen wanted to figure this out. After drinking two pots of wine, he got up and went to Luoxue Pavilion. He drank less today and was only slightly tipsy.
He had already said everything he needed to say to his wife during the day, so it didn't matter that Yinzhen didn't go to the main courtyard.
"Greetings, Master!" Little Jinzi, the gatekeeper, immediately shouted as soon as he entered Luoxuexuan.
Everyone in the courtyard knelt down to pay their respects. Yin Qingyi, who was inside, heard the noise and went outside. She had just reached the door when she saw Yinzhen enter.
"Your Highness, shouldn't you be staying at the Princess's residence today? You should be leaving tomorrow." Yin Qingyi asked in confusion, as Yinzhen should have been staying at the Princess's residence tonight.
"I've already spoken with my wife, so we'll be staying here tonight." Yinzhen, reeking of alcohol, embraced Yin Qingyi.
"Have you been drinking?" Yin Qingyi frowned. The strong smell of alcohol on him made her feel drunk.
"Yes, I drank a little." Yinzhen nodded obediently.
"Please sit down first, I'll have someone prepare some water for you to wash up." Yin Qingyi moved her to a chair while Yinzhen was holding her, then pried his arms off her and stood up.
As soon as she stood up, Yinzhen grabbed her hand. Yin Qingyi tried to pull away, but couldn't, and had no choice but to give up.
"Granny, please tell them to boil some water so that Master can take a bath, otherwise he won't be able to get rid of the smell of alcohol." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen with some disdain.
“Alright, this old servant will go right away.” Granny Naqi turned and left.
"Eunuch Su, what's wrong with the master? Why did he drink so much?" Yin Qingyi couldn't free her hands, so she could only sit on the chair next to Yinzhen and ask.
"Replying to Consort, this servant doesn't know what's wrong with Master. He drank quite a bit last night, and again today. This servant has been with Master for the past two days, and nothing has happened. This servant was even thinking of asking Consort to persuade Master, as drinking is bad for his health. Master has been drinking for two days in a row; I'm afraid it's not good for his body." Su Peisheng was also bewildered; he also wanted to know why.
"Your Majesty, please tell me why you drank so much wine?" Yin Qingyi turned to look at Yinzhen, who was watching her from the side, after hearing Su Peisheng's words.
"..." Yinzhen didn't speak, but just stared at Yin Qingyi.
"Don't want to talk?" Yin Qingyi tilted her head and looked at Yinzhen.
"Yes." Yinzhen nodded.
"Then I won't ask anymore, but you can't drink like this in the future. Drinking is bad for your health, so take good care of yourself, okay? Otherwise, I'll be sad." Yin Qingyi nodded and said to Yinzhen in a way that was like coaxing a child.
"Okay." Yinzhen nodded obediently, his eyes never leaving Yin Qingyi.
"Master, the water is ready," Qiuju whispered at the door.
"Hmm, Xiao Jinzi, you and Eunuch Su help the master to wash up." Yin Qingyi looked at Xiao Jinzi by the door.
"Master, would you like to go wash up first? The children will smell of alcohol on you. You go wash up, and I'll have the wet nurse take the children back to the west room after I've calmed them down, okay?" Yin Qingyi pointed to the inner room, where the intermittent babbling of three children could be heard.
Yinzhen heard this too, and got up to go out with Xiao Jinzi and Su Peisheng.
Yin Qingyi, who was being held by Yinzhen, also smelled faintly of alcohol. She had to change her clothes before going into the inner room. Looking at the three little ones playing on the bed, she smiled and went over to tease the three children before letting the wet nurse take them away.
After washing up, Yinzhen walked in by himself, his steps steady, looking as if he were a sober person. However, when you looked into his eyes, you would find that Yinzhen's eyes were somewhat dull, completely different from his usual shrewd appearance.
"Go to sleep. If you've had too much to drink, go to sleep, or you'll feel unwell." Yin Qingyi pulled Yinzhen to lie down on the bed.
"Hmm." Yinzhen didn't actually want to sleep. He wanted to kiss this little woman and hug her, but he wasn't drunk and confused. He knew that if he did that, he probably wouldn't be able to control himself. So he could only lie down obediently. But the unique fragrance of Yin Qingyi always lured him in.
