The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Yin Zijing was wearing another set of heavy clothes, making his thin and slender body appear even more frail and fragile. A-Tian supported him and comforted him, "Master Yang said it's a bit heavy at first, but you'll get used to it in two or three days, and then it'll be like walking normally..."

Granny Zhou, who was tidying up the bedding behind her, chimed in, "It's all thanks to Master Yang's reminder that I noticed the young lady's thighs are a bit thick. Wearing this will help slim her legs. The young lady's status must not be compromised in any way."

Therefore, young lady, you will have to work hard. In the Great Sheng Dynasty, women are considered beautiful for their delicate, slender figures, with slightly hunched shoulders and rounded backs. The imperial concubine selection is based on this standard. Therefore, young lady, you should put in even more effort to live up to Madam's good intentions.”

Meanwhile, inside the Prince Consort's residence, a conspiracy was quietly brewing. Prince Consort Du Lin sat in his study, his face grim, and said in a low voice to the person in front of him, "This plan must succeed; there can be absolutely no mistakes!" His eyes revealed a hint of determination and ruthlessness.

The man nodded and respectfully replied, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, everything has been arranged. As long as we proceed according to plan, we will surely achieve our goal." They seemed to be plotting something important, concerning the future and fate of the Prince Consort's residence.

At this moment, it was still dark, and the faint moonlight shone through the window onto the ground, making it appear particularly cold and desolate.

It was the coldest time of winter, the snow outside had not yet melted, and people were quite tired. After finishing his business, the imperial son-in-law Du Lin yawned and walked somewhat sleepily to the inner room next door, where he once again mingled with his concubine.

A quarter of an hour later, the concubine Yuanyang gently placed her delicate hand on Du Lin's broad chest and said shyly, "Master, don't you know how to be careful? What if the baby is lost? Did you finish assigning the tasks?"

Yuanyang frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant, and said after tossing and turning, "Her Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort have been husband and wife for so many years. It's really hard for us to treat her like this."

Du Lin smirked and said softly, "Oh! Yuanyang, you're putting on a show of generosity now. Back in the day, you were even more ruthless than me. What, have you suddenly had a change of heart?"

Yuanyang lowered her head, sighed softly, and said, "I just think what we're doing is too cruel. After all, Her Highness the Princess is a pitiful person. And your family is related to the Empress, treating her daughter like this..."

Du Lin patted Yuanyang on the shoulder and comforted her, "Yuanyang, you don't need to blame yourself. This is all for our future. Once this matter is resolved, we can live a carefree life. Besides, only we know about this, and as long as Her Highness the Princess is gone, this secret will be sealed forever."

Although Her Majesty the Empress is related to our family in some way, she is from a very distant collateral branch...

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a good minister chooses a good lord to serve. Eight years ago, the eldest prince made such a big mistake in the matter of the disaster victims, but the emperor only gave him a minor punishment, which shows the emperor's favor towards the eldest prince. Therefore, we must choose the right side.

His Highness the Crown Prince is homosexual and has no offspring. Do you think His Majesty will pass the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince after His Majesty passes away? With the incense line ending and no descendants, this is the beginning of the downfall of a family and a dynasty. His Majesty will naturally consider this carefully.

Therefore, I've already chosen a side, so I don't end up losing my life and my family following His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yuanyang slowly raised her head, gently stroking her slightly protruding belly, feeling the new life growing inside. A resolute and determined look appeared in her eyes, as if telling herself to face whatever the future held. Then, she took a deep breath and said to Du Lin, "Alright, in that case, let's act quickly. However, we must be careful and leave no trace."

Du Lin nodded vigorously and replied, "Don't worry, Yuanyang. I'll arrange everything. Also, have Granny Li and your godfather destroy the remaining medicinal herbs. The princess won't need them anymore. Destroying them will allow us to cover our tracks and prevent any future inquiries." His eyes gleamed with decisiveness and resolve, as if he had already prepared for anything.

Yuanyang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, that's fine too. After all, keeping these medicines is a potential problem. It's better to destroy them completely to avoid them being discovered and causing us trouble in the future." She knew in her heart that for the sake of the child in her womb, she had to be decisive.

Du Lin continued, "Furthermore, we must dispose of any evidence that might reveal our whereabouts, such as letters, tokens, and so on. We absolutely cannot let anyone discover even the slightest clue." His tone was full of caution and vigilance, knowing full well that if discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Seeing Yuanyang's tense expression, Du Lin smiled, pressed his ear against her belly, and said gently, "Alright, alright, Yuanyang, relax. You're carrying our Du family's precious baby, a boy! You absolutely mustn't get upset..."

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will certainly try my best to give the Du family a son. It's just a pity that I can't be your legitimate wife. This child was born as an illegitimate son..."

Du Lin quickly comforted her, "Yuanyang, you don't need to worry about that at all. You are the woman I love most. How could anyone dare to bully this child in the future? We've been together for so many years, do you really not trust me?"

"Your status is too lowly to be my legal wife, but our years of relationship have stood the test of time..."
