Looking at the frail, delicate, and pitiful Yin Zijing before him, Sheng Yixuan was instantly aroused by his protective instincts. His expressionless, icy face cracked slightly, and his icy black eyes showed a hint of shattering.

However, given the presence of many maids and servants, Sheng Yixuan did not help Yin Zijing up, but simply said in a slightly gentle tone, "Get up!"

Sheng Yixuan then dismissed everyone else, leaving only Yin Jingyi, Yin Zijin, and himself present.

Seeing that the servants had all left, Yin Zijing removed her veil. Because her ankles were locked, Yin Zijing could only walk forward with elegant little steps. Sheng Yixuan took two big strides to reach Yin Zijing and helped up her fair and slender hands, which were painted with pink nail polish and adorned with delicate silver nail guards.

Then, Sheng Yixuan slowly stretched out his arms and clumsily and gently embraced Yin Zijing's body, as if he was afraid of accidentally hurting him. His movements were very careful.

When his arms completely encircled Yin Zijing, a warm and reassuring feeling welled up inside her. His shoulders were broad and strong, with well-defined muscles, giving him a reliable air.

Yin Zijing's body appeared even more petite, creating a striking contrast as she was tightly embraced by Sheng Yixuan. This perfect combination of strength and gentleness, breadth and petiteness, made them look like a beautiful painting, vividly showcasing their complementarity and harmony.

Sheng Yixuan held Yin Zijing on a stool not far away, his large hand enveloping her small hand, and gently instructed, "Why are your hands so cold? You are weak, you should wear more clothes."

Sitting on Sheng Yixuan's lap, Yin Zijing blushed and said in a low voice, "I just went to see patients, so my hands are a little cold."

"And I'm all grown up now, so please don't hug me like that anymore. My older brother is right here!"

Yin Jingyi, who was standing to the side, quickly covered his eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. But you guys should avoid people around!"

"It's so sweet and sticky. Luckily, your marriage was agreed upon by both sides. Otherwise, who could stand this sticky and sticky feeling? If outsiders saw it, Zijing, you'd be in deep trouble, if not dead..."

Yin Zijing quickly got off Sheng Yixuan's lap, her face flushed, and said softly, "Brother always teases me. I'm just like you, it's okay."

After saying that, he boldly pinched Sheng Yixuan's chest muscles and said, "Feels good."

Sheng Yixuan was surprised by Yin Zijing's boldness. He quickly grasped Yin Zijing's cold, slender hand and said with a smile, "Zijing, you are really bold!"

He then placed a small, hand warmer in Yin Zijing's hands and continued, "Zijing, sit down! Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Yin Zijing took a bite of osmanthus cake and said, "I presume His Highness the Crown Prince already knows the cause and effect of the matter. I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to ask the Empress about the incense."

Also, I would like to trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to monitor Princess Li's personal nanny, as well as the princess's concubine Yuanyang and the Imperial Advisor of the Imperial Observatory.

The most important thing now is to find evidence to clear Her Highness's name. Her Highness has been harmed by that drug and is currently under house arrest; her condition is very poor.

Sheng Yixuan replied indifferently, "That girl is pitiful. I don't know how she lived her life, but she was harmed like this."

"Alright, I understand. I'll have someone keep an eye on them. Zijing, you're also at Fu'an Temple. If you don't have time, go and keep An Ding company."

Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. But Your Highness should hurry, because I will be returning to the Yin residence for the New Year soon. After the New Year, we will be going back to Jiangnan. Then we will be busy with the imperial concubine selection. I'm afraid that by then, I won't have time to go back to Fu'an Temple."

Sheng Yixuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find out as soon as possible. Zijing will be of marriageable age next year, and I'll be waiting for her to move into the East Palace..."
