"Master, I was not considerate enough today. If I had delivered ordinary food, this wouldn't have happened."

Xiyu felt a little guilty and bowed to Yinzhen to admit her mistake.

"It's not your fault. You meant well. She was just too anxious and had a bad temper. She deserved it."

Yinzhen took her hand and helped her up. Noticing the cold fingers of the young lady, he held her hand in his palm without making a sound and said softly:

"Since there's nothing serious here, let's go back. It's cold outside and your body can't stand it."

Xi Yu nodded and said to him, "Then let Qiu Xu stay here to help and wait for the doctor on duty."

The two of them left side by side, and Li was once again treated as air.

She gritted her teeth and endured it, looking sad.

"Let's go. You can't help much if you stay here."

Before leaving, she looked back at Song, whose appearance had been completely ruined, and an idea flashed through her mind.

Back in Taoran Residence, Li hooked her finger at Jiaobai, motioning her to come closer.

Then he nodded and whispered in her ear.

The bright white eyes widened little by little, and her face was full of fear and embarrassment.

Her face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly, "Princess, this..."

Seeing this, Li lowered her head with red eyes, trying not to let the tears flow out, but tears kept rolling in her eyes.

"Jiaobai, if you don't want to do it, I won't force you."

Li said softly, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in her tone.

"In the final analysis, it's because I'm not motivated enough to impress the Fourth Master. I even wanted to use some dirty tricks. You must look down on me."

Having said this, her voice seemed to be filled with endless sorrow, and she buried her head in her cloak.

"Princess, I don't have any."

Jiaobai was in a dilemma, not knowing how to comfort her princess.

"Princess, this is really inappropriate. If the Fourth Master finds out..."

"Jiaobai, I don't want to use it on myself. You have seen Sister Song's situation today. Her appearance has been ruined. I am afraid she will never have the chance to be favored again. I want to help her."

Li looked at Jiaobai and explained word by word, her eyes full of genuine affection.

"Sister Song and I entered the palace at the same time to serve the Fourth Master. She has fallen to this state, and I am the only one left to support her. Now the backyard is all owned by the concubine. Do you really think that Sister Song was poisoned because she was eager to eat? I am really afraid... I am really afraid that I will have no place to stand in the future."

Her delicate body was trembling slightly, her cheeks were covered with tears, and the helplessness in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

Li's eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at Jiaobai, as if she was her last support.

She gently leaned her head against Jiaobai's arms and choked with sobs, with endless sorrow and pleading, "So can you please help me, help Sister Song, so that we won't be discovered, really!"

Tears slid down her cheeks, soaking her white clothes.

She couldn't bear it, so she nodded and agreed after much hesitation.

"Jiaobai, you are so kind. I will never treat you unfairly."

Li hugged her tightly with joy, expressing her gratitude repeatedly, and she wished she could become sworn sisters with her immediately.

……

In the next few days, Xiyu kept Xiao Shisan in the East Third Building and asked someone to prepare new clothes, hats and gloves for him, with as many as five different colors and styles.

"Are you raising him as your own child?"

Yinzhen asked without looking away, holding a book in his hand.

"I'm letting the servants in the palace who are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation know that Little Thirteen is not unloved. If you want to trip her up in the future, you have to think twice."

Xiyu put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

Her face was full of indignation, and she looked both arrogant and domineering, yet also a little cute and coquettish.

Seeing that she treated Little Thirteen so sincerely, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile.

It is hard to imagine whether Xiao Fujin would protect the child like this and take care of everything for the child if she became the mother in the future.

Xiyu was sitting on the couch, adjusting her new hats. She had asked her fourth brother to buy them from outside the palace, and the patterns were very novel.

Counting the numbers, the two children can be divided evenly.

When she called Lai Chunshi, she packed the hat that was divided into two parts separately, and sent one part to the room of Little Thirteen, and the other part to the Yonghe Palace for Little Fourteen.

"You hold this bowl of water very evenly."

Yinzhen glanced at her with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Stop laughing at me, I just want to get closer to my mother and the others~"

All the palace maids went out, and she hung herself on Yinzhen, with a hint of temptation in her words.

She sent people to investigate secretly for a long time, but there was no progress.

The only thing we can do now is to see if we can start from the Fourth Master and Mother and find some clues about what happened back then. Even if we can hear what happened from another perspective, it will be considered a gain.

Her body was slightly tense, and she felt a little nervous and unnatural.

Sure enough, after hearing her say this, Yinzhen's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

He slowly lowered his eyelids to hide the gloom in his eyes.

"You don't have to try too hard to please my mother. She won't change her mind no matter what you do."

Because in her heart, I am the murderer who killed her brother.

Yinzhen did not say this out loud, his expression was very calm, as if he was just talking about something insignificant, but the bulging veins on his neck betrayed him.

Xiyu silently looked at the man in front of her, her heart full of heartache and helplessness, and she couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

She could feel the pain deep in Yinzhen's heart, but she couldn't find the right words to comfort him. She could only sit up gently, put her arms around Yinzhen's neck, and hold him in her arms.

Not knowing how to comfort him, she could only accompany him silently.

Feeling Xiyu's warm embrace, Yinzhen's tense body gradually relaxed.

He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the tranquility, while Xiyu gently patted his back, hoping to give him some comfort.

After a moment, she suddenly spoke softly, "Master, do you like boys or girls?"

Yinzhen opened his eyes and was a little confused by this sudden question.

He paused for a moment and asked, "Fujin wants to give birth to a child for me?"

"What are you asking? Yaoyao has wanted to have a child for me since the first day she married me."

Xiyu expressed what was in her mind without any reservation.

When Yinzhen heard these words, a sweet feeling spread from his ears to every part of his body.

"Do you know how hard it is to be pregnant and have a child?"

he asked softly.

"I know~"

Xiyu tilted her head and smiled sweetly, her smile as bright as a blooming spring flower, making her look even more radiant and charming.
