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

From the moment Yin Zijing learned she was about to enter the palace, she had made up her mind to tell the Empress everything honestly. She believed that the Empress, with her kindness and benevolence, would not be offended. After all, if she hadn't studied medicine since childhood, she probably wouldn't have been able to save the Empress's poor, unfortunate daughter.

Moreover, if she hadn't mistakenly taken those strange and unusual drugs, her body wouldn't have undergone such bizarre changes, even starting to menstruate like a woman. More importantly, if she weren't an illegitimate daughter of the Yin family, she wouldn't have been betrothed to His Highness the Crown Prince. In that case, His Highness might never have had an heir to carry on the family line.

Only by achieving this delicate balance could he ensure that the Empress wouldn't cause him trouble. Otherwise, if he dared to deceive the Empress now, and the truth came to light later, he didn't know how the Empress would view him as a liar! The consequences would be unimaginable...

Yin Zijing's eyes instantly reddened. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said delicately, "Zijing has been away from home for eight years and hasn't felt her mother's care for a long time."

The Empress's thoughtfulness and care for Zijing reminded me of my own mother.

The Empress's earnest teachings are etched in my heart. I will certainly be careful in my words and actions, and tomorrow in court, I will give a proper reply to please the Empress and win her favor.

When Madam Du saw that Yin Zijing's eyes were red, she quickly said, "Zijing, why are you crying? Crying too much will harm your health..."

And so the two chatted back and forth. Du Shi was fidgeting from time to time, rubbing her forehead with her hand, which was covered by a headband. Seeing Du Shi's slightly furrowed brows, Yin Zijin asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? You don't look well."

Madam Du's lips curled up slightly, revealing a forced smile: "Alas, this is an old ailment, especially in recent years it has become increasingly serious. I suppose it's because I'm getting older and my body isn't as strong as it used to be."

Every time I get my period, my head hurts so badly it feels like it's going to explode, and my lower abdomen is in unbearable pain.

She sighed softly and continued, "I was just about to summon you, and I was trying my best to endure the discomfort. But after a while, I couldn't hold on any longer."

Listening to the Empress's explanation, Yin Zijing understood the reason. After all, he had been a doctor for many years and was very familiar with the various symptoms that women experience during menstruation.

So he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I have studied medicine with my third uncle for many years and have some knowledge of it. Let me give Your Majesty a massage; that should relieve a lot of your pain."

Actually, headaches during menstruation are mostly due to insufficient rest, or excessive anxiety and tension. With proper care, they should improve.

Madam Du looked at Yin Zijing with suspicion, pondering her words. However, Yin Zijing spoke eloquently and logically, moving everyone present.

Finally, Madam Du smiled slightly and said softly, "Alright, alright, since that's the case, then let Zijing give it a try!" Although there was still some doubt in her words, she had more trust and expectation for Yin Zijing.

Immediately afterward, Yin Zijing carefully helped Du Shi to her feet and slowly led her into the inner room. Once inside, Du Shi, looking slightly weary, lay down on an exquisite chaise longue, her body trembling slightly, seemingly unwell.

Seeing this, a palace maid rushed forward and gently covered Du with a thick blanket. Not only that, the maid also thoughtfully brought a warm hot water bottle and gently placed it on Du's lower abdomen, hoping to relieve her discomfort.

At this moment, Yin Zijin sat quietly by Du's bedside, carefully removing the nail guards from her fingers and gently placing them on a tray held by a palace maid.

Then, Yin Zijing gently removed the headband from Du's forehead with her soft, delicate hand, and massaged Du's forehead with moderate pressure. After a while, Yin Zijing asked softly, "Your Majesty, how is she?"

Du said with a satisfied look, "That feels so good, my forehead doesn't hurt as much anymore."

The fire inside the house was burning brightly, and under Yin Zijing's massage, Madam Du gradually drifted off to sleep. At this moment, a peaceful and warm atmosphere filled the room, as if time itself had stood still.

Meanwhile, Sheng Yixuan, who was in the East Palace, heard from a servant that the Sixth Miss had entered Chengqian Palace. He quickly tidied himself up and hurried out of the East Palace towards Chengqian Palace.

Consort Ru (who was previously known as Consort Ru, but was renamed Consort Ru to distinguish her from the Crown Prince's harem) happened to be passing by. Seeing that Sheng Yixuan looked unusually refreshed, she quickly asked, "Do you know if the Crown Prince has any happy occasion today?"

The palace maid beside her quickly replied, "In response to Consort Ru, it seems that it is Miss Yin Liu who has arrived and is currently with Her Majesty the Empress."

Upon hearing the palace maid's words, Consort Ru looked displeased: "No wonder, the grass is always greener on the other side. This Miss Yin is His Highness the Crown Prince's confidante! It's all over the palace. They say His Highness has changed his ways, settled down, and fallen in love with women."

One day, I'll see just how charming that Miss Yin really is, that she's made His Highness the Crown Prince completely infatuated.

Eight years have passed, and the Crown Prince hasn't even touched a single woman in the Eastern Palace..."

A palace maid standing nearby quickly reminded her, "Consort Ru, it would be best to be careful with your words and actions. It wouldn't be good if others heard you."

As if nothing was amiss, Consort Ru asked, "Do you know why Miss Yin entered the palace?"

The palace maid shook her head and quickly said, "I didn't find out, but it seems to be about Princess Anding..."

…………

Upon arriving at Chengqian Palace, Sheng Yixuan's steps became much lighter. He hadn't seen Yin Zijin for half a month, and he missed her terribly. As soon as he entered the room, just as Sheng Yixuan was about to speak, a little palace maid beside him quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please keep your voice down. Her Majesty the Empress has just fallen asleep."

Sheng Yixuan lowered his voice and asked, "Where is Miss Yin Liu?"

The young palace maid quickly replied, "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Empress has a terrible headache, and Sixth Miss is massaging her!"

Sheng Yixuan nodded and quietly entered the inner room. Yin Zijing, who was massaging the Empress, saw that it was Sheng Yixuan and quickly made a shushing gesture.
