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

After hearing this, Ruhe said anxiously, "Miss, you mustn't! Your health isn't good, and if this happens, wouldn't it be..."

Ruhe wanted to say something, but Yin Zijin stopped her. Yin Zijin said, "Ruhe, you have to put yourself in a life-or-death situation to survive. You also said that I am only five years old and cannot live alone. I cannot leave the Yin family now."

Ruhe sighed and said, "Alright, if you think it's good, then that's fine. Just remember to take care of your health!"

Yin Zijin nodded: "Okay, Ruhe. I understand."

After finishing their business, Ruhe finally spoke, "Miss, let me help you to sleep! It's very late."

Yin Zijing, feeling weak, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep. Otherwise, I won't have the energy tomorrow and will make Aunt Li and the others worry."

Afterwards, Ruhe helped Yin Zijin lie down and watched her fall asleep. Ruhe pulled the thin blanket up for Yin Zijin, looked at her haggard face with some heartache, and then went back to sleep on the daybed outside the canopy bed.

The next morning, feeling unwell, Yin Zijing woke up early. Ruhe came in, helped Yin Zijing to the pillows, and asked with concern, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer, Miss?"

Yin Zijin smiled and said, "I have something on my mind, and I'm not feeling well, so I really can't sleep."

Ruhe took out a menstrual pad from a small cabinet next to her and said, "Miss, it's been a whole night. I'll change your menstrual pad for you, otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable."

Upon hearing what Ruhe said, Yin Zijing realized that she had been experiencing vaginal discharge. Her face flushed red instantly, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ruhe, I can do it myself!"

Ruhe smiled and said, "Alright, I know you're shy, Miss. Then you can do it yourself. I'll bring you some warm water to wash up."

After saying that, Ruhe handed the menstrual pad to Yin Zijin, who nodded as she took the hot potato-like pad.

After Ruhe left, Yin Zijin followed the procedure that Zhou Mama and Xiaolan had followed in changing her menstrual pad. She laboriously changed the pad herself and then tied the string around her waist to prevent it from slipping off.

After finishing her task with a flushed face, the shock she felt inside was unimaginable...

As Yin Zijing was thinking, Ruhe's voice came from outside: "Miss, are you ready? I'm coming in!"

Yin Zijin snapped out of her daze, rolled up the soiled menstrual pad and put it aside, then said, "Come in! Ruhe, I've tidied up."

Hearing Yin Zijing's reply, Ruhe came in carrying a basin and toiletries. After setting the things down, Ruhe hooked the bed curtains on both sides. Summer days are short, and sunlight was already filtering in.

Ruhe said, "Miss, getting some fresh air will help you recover. After you've finished washing up, I'll open the window."

As Ruhe spoke, she helped Yin Zijin wash up. After wiping her face and hands and rinsing her mouth, Ruhe tidied Yin Zijin's slightly messy hair and simply tied it into a bun. Looking at Yin Zijin's pale face, which was devoid of any color, Ruhe said, "Miss, would you like to apply some lip rouge to brighten your complexion? The master and the others might come at noon, so please pay attention to your appearance."

Yin Zijin waved her hand and said, "Ruhe, no need. This is too deliberate; it's obvious we knew beforehand."

"That's settled then! Seeing how haggard Yin Zijing looks, our plan can proceed more easily, can't it?"

Ruhe took the soiled menstrual pad and said, "Alright, then young lady, rest for a while. I'll wash the menstrual pad clean."

Half an hour later, Xiaolan came in carrying a food box. Seeing that Ruhe was still taking care of Yin Zijin, she put down the food box and said, "Ruhe, go eat! Leave the young lady to me."

Ruhe nodded, glanced at Yin Zijin, and then left.

At 3:45 PM, after attending the morning court session, Yin Xu tidied himself up in Yimei Courtyard before walking with Yin Jingyi and Aunt Li through the small red gate of Yimei Courtyard toward Bihe Pavilion.

Granny Zhou had received the orders an hour earlier and was waiting in front of the pavilion. When she saw Yin Xu and his party arrive, she hurried forward to greet them, saying, "Master, young master, Aunt Li. Please come with me! Sixth Miss was very excited to hear that you were coming and is waiting for you!"

Yin Xu nodded, signaling Zhou Mama to lead the way. He followed behind Zhou Mama, while Yin Jingyi and Aunt Li followed behind Yin Xu as they walked up to the second floor of the pavilion.

Yin Zijin had already heard the commotion. After being locked up for several days, she ignored the obstruction of Granny Liu and Xiaomei and peeked out through the crack in the door.

The first people Yin Zixiao saw were Granny Zhou and Yin Xu. When she saw her father arrive, Yin Zixiao was very excited and immediately shouted loudly outside, kicking the door and saying, "Father, Father, I know I was wrong. Please tell Mother to lift my confinement!"

Seeing that Yin Zijin was making a big fuss, Granny Liu quickly picked her up and prepared to cover her mouth to stop her noisy commotion.

Hearing that Yin Zixiao was making a lot of noise, Yin Xu said to Yin Jingyi and Aunt Li behind him, "You two go and see Zijing first! I'll go and comfort Zixiao, otherwise we won't have any peace and quiet."

Yin Jingyi nodded and said, "Yes, Father. Then I'll go with Aunt Li first."

Yin Xu walked quickly to the entrance of Hongmei Pavilion and said in a gentle tone, "Granny Liu, open the door. My dear Naoniao, your father has come to see you."

A moment later, the door to Hongmei Pavilion opened, and Yin Xu strode inside. Yin Zixiao immediately threw herself into his arms, looking very aggrieved, and cried, "Father, do you know how I've been these past few days? I've been locked in my room and can't go anywhere. Even Liu Mama won't let me go to Zijing's place. I'm so bored! Father, please talk to Mother and forgive your daughter!"

…………

Meanwhile, Yin Jingyi and Aunt Li had arrived at the inner room of Bihe Pavilion. Yin Jingyi looked at Yin Zijin, who was pale and lying in bed, and said with heartache, "Zijin, why are you so sick after only a few days?"

Yin Zijing saw Yin Jingyi and Aunt Li walking into the canopy bed. She dragged her sickly body and prepared to pay her respects.

When Yin Jingyi saw Yin Zijin about to bow, he rushed over and gently pressed her down, saying with concern, "Zijin, there's no need to bow. You're already so sick, just rest well."
