The divine physician Wu indeed concealed the truth, telling only to Yinzhen that her body was a little weak, but the problem wasn't serious; she just needed proper care and to keep a cheerful mood.
very good!
After Xiao Xi left, Nan Yi had one less place to go, so she spent more time in the mansion. When she was really bored, she would go and cause trouble for the Fourth Master.
As a result, the two could often be seen going out of the mansion together sweetly, or they would stay in the study, one handling official documents and the other eating snacks and reading stories. They seemed to have a sweet and affectionate relationship.
For a time, Nan Yi was unparalleled in popularity.
Yinzhen doted on her, and she spent the most time in the Orchid Courtyard. Many people in the inner courtyard tried to scheme against her, but the Fourth Prince just wouldn't budge.
Despite the favor bestowed upon her by the Emperor, Lady Nian did not fall out of favor. However, she was not neglected. Lady Nian was about to give birth, and among all the wives and concubines in the harem, only she brought news of her pregnancy in several years.
When Lady Nian was about to give birth, she was not at the mansion. When she returned, she heard that Lady Nian had given birth to a son. The Fourth Master was overjoyed and even gave him a name.
After the birth of their son, Yinzhen's enthusiasm for spending time with her cooled down. Occasionally, he would talk to her belly and then go to spend time with the little prince.
Nan Yi was furious and felt incredibly frustrated. She could have given birth to a son whenever she wanted, so what was the point of complaining about her pregnancy? God hadn't blessed her with that.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Uncle brought this up, but her belly wouldn't cooperate, and she had to suppress her anger.
On one occasion, Yinzhen sent Su Peisheng to deliver a message, saying that he would come to keep her company after finishing his official business, and told her not to go out of the mansion to play.
Nan had learned to be shrewd from the start. If he said to wait, she would wait, so as not to offend him and have her right to leave the mansion for fresh air taken away.
She waited and waited, but no one came. She sent someone to ask, and it turned out that the Fourth Master had indeed come, but somehow he went to Madam Nian's courtyard halfway there.
Upon hearing this, Nan Yi immediately exploded like a firecracker. For some reason, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for some time suddenly rushed to the top of her head, and she stormed out of the courtyard with her maid.
On the path in the inner garden, Nan Yi, accompanied by three maids, stormed over angrily. The servants along the way quickly made way for her. Li Shi and others, who were admiring the flowers in the garden, saw Nan Yi and originally wanted to greet her, but seeing her so furious, they also retreated to the side to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Thinking of which foolish woman had offended this fierce woman, they were all stunned when they saw her heading towards Madam Nian's courtyard. Oh, these two women are going head-to-head. I wonder which one the master favors more. Madam Li heard that Madam Tong was supposed to serve the emperor today, but Madam Nian intercepted her.
She was secretly delighted; she was about to see a good show.
Then she called to Song and Wu, who were traveling with her, and said with a smile, "Sisters, let's go and see what's going on. We might have to try to persuade them." She said this, but in her heart she was thinking that it would be better if something happened, as it would only add fuel to the fire.
This household is bustling with activity, thanks to the women from the Tong and Nian families. There's always something going on. Anyway, she has children to rely on, making her the most favored woman in the household. Even if she doesn't compete for favor, the master won't neglect her.
Song and Wu exchanged a glance, smiled gloatingly, and followed Li away.
Nan Yi led her men to the gate of the Nian family's courtyard. The gatekeeper, seeing her looking like she was about to interrogate him, stammered a greeting. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Nan Yi kicked him aside. The servants in the courtyard dared not stop her anymore.
As they approached the bedroom, Nian's head maids, Yuexiang and Yuexia, were waiting outside the door. When they saw Consort Tong suddenly appear at the door, they were immediately startled. Why had no one from the courtyard come to announce the arrival of their mistress?
However, seeing Master Tong's dark face, they knew something was wrong. One person stepped forward to pay his respects, while the other entered to announce the news.
Nan Yi stood still, a smile playing on his lips. Under the bright sunshine, she actually had a maid guarding the gate. What a woman, Nian Shi! Knowing that today belonged to her, she still dragged the Fourth Master along.
She's just having a son, not some golden egg. She's been looking for an opportunity to pick a fight with the Fourth Prince.
And just like that, the opportunity came knocking on our door.
Nan Yi was itching to get started. He'd been so bored lately. The wives and concubines in Fourth Master's backyard had all recently changed their ways and become Buddhist-like.
Seeing their master's excited expression, Yiren Lanzhi and Lanye rubbed their foreheads and smiled wryly. Their master was about to have another fit of madness, and they were in for trouble. But no matter what, they had to support their master.
Yiren stepped forward and pulled aside Yuexiang, who was blocking the door. Lanzhi lifted the curtain, and Nanyi stepped inside. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Yinzhen hurriedly get up and push Nianshi away. He pushed her so hard that fortunately, the maid reacted quickly and helped her up.
Lady Nian wept bitterly, staring at Yinzhen in disbelief, unable to comprehend how the man who had just been coaxing her could change his expression so suddenly.
Could what they said be true? The one the master cares about most is Tong Shi? Impossible, she doesn't believe it. Nian Shi raised her hand to her chest, and in her anger, she suddenly choked and coughed rapidly.
When Yinzhen suddenly saw Nan Yi, he felt inexplicably guilty. He had already pushed Nian Shi away on his own. Lost in thought about his own actions, he was caught in a dilemma when he heard Nian Shi coughing hysterically, her face turning red.
Fearing she might faint, Yinzhen shouted sternly, "Are people all dead? Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
He strode to Madam Nian's side, carried her to the bed and laid her down. Turning his head, he saw the maid was still standing there in a daze, and his eyes narrowed as he roared at the maid, "Go quickly."
The girl trembled with fright and shrank back in response.
She ran outside and saw Yuexiang being stopped by Yiren. She sneered, "Sister Yiren is quite capable, daring to act tough in our courtyard. Doesn't she know where she is?"
After Nan Yi entered, he sat down in a chair without saying a word, seemingly oblivious to the chaos before him. This seemingly weak woman, Xi Zi, clasped her hands in front of her chest as if clutching her heart, leaning against Yin Zhen's chest, glancing at Nan Yi with a smug look in her eyes.
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. Even if you dislike her, it doesn't affect your appreciation of her beauty. She has had children for two years, but it doesn't diminish her beauty at all, except that she is a little weak and her complexion is a bit yellow.
“Your Highness, I am fine and do not need the imperial physician,” Madam Nian said softly, then coughed twice.
Yinzhen patted Nian Shi on the back, his eyes glancing at Nan Yi's expression. He thought to himself, "She doesn't seem angry. She probably didn't come here to cause trouble."
"You're afraid the imperial physician will expose you if he comes," Nan Yi said with a laugh, her act so convincing it didn't seem real.
She had clashed with Nian many times, and they both knew each other's true intentions. She was too lazy to play mind games with her or beat around the bush, and she didn't need to show any mercy.
Lady Nian's eyes flickered slightly. She grabbed Yinzhen's clothes at the chest and protested, "Your Highness, I didn't... cough cough... my body is just like this... cough cough..."
Yinzhen held her hand and patted it gently, comforting her softly, "I know, don't make a sound, the imperial physician will be here soon."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Nan Yi and said, "You go back first. Xu'er is not feeling well. I'll stay here with her and come to see you tomorrow."
He didn't want to say he would go see her later, but he was still a little afraid to face her. He was supposed to go to her place today, but on the way, Yuexiang came to report from Nian Shi's room that Nian Shi was not feeling well. Originally, he only needed to send the imperial physician, but he came by himself as if possessed. Sigh, he felt inexplicably guilty.
"I'm not going back. I'll rest here for a while." Nan Yi acted like a rogue, thinking to himself, "You dare mess with me? You don't keep your word. You're always staring at her belly and complaining. Now that you've had a son, you think you're so great? Bah! I'll show you today. I'll make you furious and disgusted to death."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen angrily roared, "Nonsense! Go back right now!"
