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

Yin Zijing slightly raised her beautiful and refined face, parted her red lips, and gave a soft and melodious reply: "Regarding the matter of saving people, Zijing has always believed that she did nothing wrong! Besides, the person she saved this time is the incomparably noble Princess Anding of our Great Sheng Dynasty."

Princess An Ding was living a very difficult life. As a citizen of the Great Sheng Dynasty, how could Zi Jin stand idly by and watch her suffer? It was neither morally nor logically justifiable! If Zi Jin clearly knew there was something wrong with the incense but deliberately concealed it, that would truly be a grave crime!

Yin Zijing paused briefly, a hint of determination flashing in her beautiful eyes, and continued, "However, in your eyes, Mother, perhaps you feel that this matter has become too big a fuss."

After all, Zijing was merely a woman confined to her chambers, and should have remained within her bounds of propriety. To appear in public like this was indeed somewhat against etiquette and custom. However, at that moment, Zijing was solely focused on rescuing Princess Anding from danger, and had no time to consider anything else!

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang let out a heavy snort, her already tense face now appearing even more gloomy: "So now you know you've done something wrong? You could have easily stayed out of it and ignored it, why did you insist on dragging yourself into it? What does the princess's matter have to do with you?"

Furthermore, matters of the royal family are always complex and intricate; the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin. Have you even considered the well-being of our Yin family?

This case is being jointly tried by the Imperial Clan Court and the Three Judicial Offices, and even the Emperor and Empress will be present. At that time, you'll be the only unmarried young woman standing there. Is that appropriate? A woman who hasn't even left home yet, showing her face in public every day—don't you think about your reputation? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your sisters in the Yin family who are also unmarried! They will all get married someday!"

Faced with her mother's rebuke, Yin Zijing quickly replied, "Mother, please calm down and listen to what I have to say. From the moment you made up your mind to marry me to His Highness the Crown Prince, I have been in the same boat as His Highness the Crown Prince."

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Anding are siblings from the same mother. How could I stand by and watch them die?

More importantly, rescuing the princess this time was purely by chance and unintentional. If it weren't for a series of unexpected events, this good deed would likely not have happened.

Hearing Yin Zijing's words, Zhang's lips curled into a slight, contemptuous sneer, a laugh that seemed to pierce the soul, sending chills down one's spine. She spoke in a sarcastic, biting tone, "Hmph! Look at our sixth daughter, she's really grown up now, she has her own ideas! She's not even married yet, and her allegiance is already turning against us..."

Madam Zhang was about to say something even harsher, but just then, hurried footsteps came from the front yard. It turned out to be the old nanny from the front yard rushing over, her expression flustered as she urged, "Madam, are you ready? Eunuch Wang from the front yard is getting quite impatient!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang hurriedly stood up. She first glared fiercely at Yin Zijing, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction. Then, she quickly turned her head away, ignoring Yin Zijing, and began to straighten her clothes.

Seeing this, Granny Zhou quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Yin Zijing, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet. Yin Zijing looked at Madam Zhang with a wronged expression, tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not utter a sound.

Zhang walked forward, and as she passed Yin Zijing, she suddenly reached out and pinched Yin Zijing's slender waist hard. Yin Zijing almost cried out in pain, but she held back her tears and gritted her teeth to stop herself from crying. Yin Zijing felt that her waist must have turned blue.

Zhang leaned close to Yin Zijing's ear, lowered her voice, and warned through gritted teeth, "If it were a small matter, you could easily fabricate an identity. But in front of the Emperor and Empress, fabricating an identity is deceiving the Emperor."

Listen to me carefully, this time when you enter the palace, don't disgrace our family, and don't be disrespectful! Otherwise, see how I deal with you when I get back!" After saying that, she walked out of the room without looking back, leaving Yin Zijing and Granny Zhou standing there.

When Zhou Mama realized what was happening, she quickly helped Yin Zijin walk outside. Two sedan chairs were already prepared outside Yimei Courtyard. Zhang Shi glanced at Zhou Mama again and instructed her, "Zhou Mama, you did not handle this matter well. I will punish you when we get back."

Then Zhang Shi got into her sedan chair, and Yin Zijing, supported by Zhou Mama, also got into hers. These two sedan chairs were originally only used for short distances within the mansion, and the space was very narrow and limited, barely enough for one person to sit comfortably inside. After Zhang Shi and Yin Zijing were settled in their respective sedan chairs, the maids responsible for carrying them slowly lifted the chairs and walked steadily towards the front courtyard.

After the two were seated, the maidservant slowly lifted the sedan chair and steadily carried it towards the front courtyard. Along the way, the two inside the sedan chair had contrasting feelings.

After a not-so-short journey, they finally arrived at the front courtyard. At this moment, Zhang and Yin Zijing hurriedly alighted from the sedan chair and walked quickly forward. From afar, they saw the eunuch sitting upright in his chair.

Upon closer inspection, the old man was all smiles, clearly very pleased with Yin Xu's hospitality. He and Yin Xu were engaged in a pleasant conversation, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter; the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Madam Zhang and Yin Zijin quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Master, and best wishes to Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li quickly stood up and said with a smile, "How could I dare to accept such a grand gesture from you, Madam?"

Madam Zhang said with a smile, "Is Eunuch Li a favorite of Her Majesty the Empress? He should be treated with respect."

Eunuch Li quickly asked, "Is this the Sixth Miss beside you?"

Yin Zijin quickly bowed and said, "Please ask about Lord Li."

Eunuch Li said admiringly, "She is indeed a stunning beauty. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is very polite and has a graceful demeanor. It is evident that she was raised in a very strict family!"

Eunuch Li's words, seemingly unintentional, were like a slap in the face to Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang felt a burning pain on her face and was momentarily at a loss for how to react. At this moment, Yin Xu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Eunuch Li, the Sixth Miss has been raised in seclusion and has never seen the world. I hope that you will take good care of her this time she enters the palace."
