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

Zhang said with a hint of jealousy, "Alright, Granny Zhou. Let's hurry up and go! If we stay any longer, we won't be able to sleep until dawn."

Lady Li was favored, but she also paid the price. I will keep my eyes wide open and see if the master still favors her when Lady Li grows old and loses her beauty.

Love, in the end, is an elusive thing. A man's infatuation can be escaped, but a woman's cannot. The most important thing is to firmly grasp power and protect one's children.

"Look at Madam Li, Zhou. So what if she's favored by the master? She still can't protect her own child. The sixth young lady is still at my mercy. Let her be smug for now!" With that, the two walked towards the front yard.

Meanwhile, Yin Xu arrived at Li's residence early. As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Li dressed in an elegant light pink dress, sitting at the door of the outer room, playing the zither and singing a song. The room was brightly lit.

With the help of the zither music and the dark night outside, Li Shi's figure appeared even more lonely and frail. The more Yin Xu looked at her, the more heartbroken and loving he felt. He quickly walked forward. Li Shi also saw Yin Xu coming and immediately stood up. She moved gracefully and delicately towards Yin Xu.

Tears welled up in Li's eyes like pearls falling from a broken string, pattering onto Yin Xu. Yin Xu quickly stepped forward and hugged Li, saying with heartache, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Zhenzhen, you were weakened when you gave birth to Zijin, you need to rest well. Although it's summer now, the chill in the air at night is still quite strong."

Madam Li wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said with a wronged expression, "Master said he would come to my courtyard today, and I started waiting very early. I waited for a long time but he didn't come. I thought something had happened to him. In addition, Zijing is bedridden now. I'm really worried and can't sleep..."

Yin Xu tenderly picked up Li Shi and said, "Zhenzhen, let's go inside and sleep! It's really too late today."

Li leaned against Yin Xu's strong chest and said with a sense of security, "Yes, sir."

Upon entering the inner room, Xiaoqing and her maidservants helped Aunt Li and Yin Xu change their clothes. After everything was settled, Aunt Li and Yin Xu went to bed. Before getting into bed, Yin Xu instructed, "Xiaoqing, take everyone out of the room."

Xiaoqing quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Master." After saying that, Xiaoqing led the other maids out.

After the two lay down on the bed, Yin Xu spoke first: "Zhenzhen, I have to go to another place to deal with the disaster. While I'm gone, you have to take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Upon hearing Yin Xu's words, Li Shi quickly raised her head and said, "Yes, sir, your concubine and the sixth young lady are waiting for your return. You must come back safely, your concubine is waiting for you."

Yin Xu noticed that Li Shi appeared relaxed, but her slender hands were actually gripping her clothes tightly. Yin Xu took Li Shi's hand and comforted her with a smile, "Zhenzhen, don't be nervous. Look, your palms are sweaty. Be good, go to sleep, or it will be dawn soon."

Li leaned against Yin Xu's chest, seemingly lost in thought, and suddenly said in a sweet voice, "Master..."

Yin Xu's body stiffened, then he laughed and said, "Oh! Zhenzhen, you're so troublesome. Luckily, I'm in my prime, strong and healthy..."
