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

Sheng Yiming entered Bihe Pavilion without anyone noticing. To avoid being seen, he changed into a servant's clothes. When Yin Zijing saw someone come in, she hurriedly stood up nervously.

Upon seeing Sheng Yiming dressed as a servant, Yin Zijing exclaimed excitedly, "He looks just like him, so much like him..."

Sheng Yiming stared intently at the person before him, wanting to see for himself who wanted to see him. The moment he saw them, Sheng Yiming exclaimed excitedly, "So alike, so incredibly alike..."

Yin Zijing ran quickly to Sheng Yiming and asked in a language only modern people could understand: "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger".

Without hesitation, Sheng Yiming replied, "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."

Yin Zijing then asked, "What's your name?"

Sheng Yiming smiled meaningfully and said, "My name is Zhang Peng."

Yin Zijing was so excited she almost cried. She rushed over to Sheng Yiming and asked excitedly, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land, "Is it really you, Zhang Peng? I am Yin Fengyu!"

Zhang Peng looked at Yin Zijing, who barely reached his thigh, squatted down, and asked incredulously, "Feng Yu, is it really you? I almost didn't recognize you when I saw this miniature version of you."

How did you become a girl? Speaking of which, your outfit really resembles Lin Daiyu—the melancholic air, the frail body, the slender eyebrows, and those affectionate eyes—it's exactly the same, except you don't cry as much as she did.

Upon hearing this, Yin Zijing snorted coldly and said, "I am not a woman, I am a man. After you have experienced everything I have experienced, you may be even more depressed than I am. Okay, time is limited, so let's make a long story short. I will tell you about everything I have experienced in the past few years."

Yin Zijing quickly recounted her ordeal to Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng listened, completely bewildered, barely able to keep up with Yin Zijing's pace. The more he listened, the more distressed he felt, but he remained quiet until Yin Zijing finished speaking. Only then did Zhang Peng grumble, "I'm sorry, Feng Yu. Just ignore what I said earlier. I thought you were reincarnated as a girl, especially since you look so much like one..."

Also, I never imagined that after you went through such a cruel power struggle within the household, that heartless Zhang actually raised you as her daughter.

She even ate the juice of that supposedly fertility-enhancing herb called Bi Ai Cao, and later she had to have her feet bound. Feng Yu, you can't stay in this Yin mansion any longer; if you stay any longer, you'll forget you're a man.

Fengyu, what are you thinking? Why don't you come with me? We can escape this ordeal. You're too young to take care of yourself. I'll support you until you grow up! I'm some kind of prince now, I've got plenty of money.

"After you leave the Yin residence, we'll look for that string of purple glass beads. I also feel that the secret to our time travel lies in that purple glass bead. Anyone who has touched that bead should have time-traveled. Zijing, this purple glass bead is the key to our journey back."

Yin Zijing smiled and said, "Zhang Peng, thank you for your kindness. I also wanted to leave with you. But it's too late. I had already made the worst plan. Through my brother Yin Jingyi, I went to His Highness the Crown Prince and asked him to ask his master, Master Wudeng, to stay at Fu'an Temple under the pretense of being seriously ill and cared for by him."

The Fu'an Temple is very crowded with worshippers, which presents an opportunity to find purple glass beads. And perhaps Master Wudeng is already on his way.

Therefore, I can't be so selfish as to follow you without considering anything else. If I leave, a lot of people will suffer. What about Master Wudeng and His Highness the Crown Prince? They're complete strangers, yet they're willing to help me. And I'll just leave without a word.

And then there's Ruhe; a living person has inexplicably disappeared from Bihe Courtyard. Given Zhang's shrewdness, she'll interrogate my entourage thoroughly. And Aunt Li might be driven to her death…

Besides, Zhang Peng, I understand your feelings, but I only consider you a brother. I can't accept favors without having done anything for you, and I'm afraid I can't repay your kindness. You've already been very good to me. Your statement about taking care of me felt very strange; it sounded like you were trying to keep me as a mistress.

Zhang Peng said, somewhat angrily and sadly, "Fengyu, you're being too polite! I'd go to great lengths for a friend, let alone you, my brother. Now that you're in such dire straits, I should be helping you. You're only five years old, how will you live on your own? And your health, ruined by Zhang Shi, needs to be taken good care of."

But since you have so many concerns now, I won't force you. We'll proceed according to your plan. If Zhang is still pressing us when we get to Fu'an Temple, we'll make a more detailed plan. Then, Fengyu, you can fake your death and escape. At that time, you won't have to worry about anyone else.

Because back then, it was me, your brother, who helped you, not anyone else. And I, your brother, don't need anything in return. Consider it two souls from different worlds finding solace in each other after crossing over to the same time and space.

Yin Zijing nodded, her eyes resolute, and said, "Alright, Zhang Peng. If the Zhang family continues to press us after we get to Fu'an Temple, I'll stage a flawless fake death to escape."

I will work hard then, and earn lots and lots of money to repay your kindness in saving my life and raising me.

Zhang Peng gently nudged Yin Zijing, who stumbled back a few steps. Zhang Peng teased, "Fengyu, between brothers, there's no such thing as owing or repaying favors. Why have you become so distant after living in this Great Sheng Dynasty for a few years?"

Suddenly, Zhang Peng thought of something. Looking at Yin Fengyu's thin frame, Zhang Peng suddenly asked, "Fengyu, you need to think this through carefully. Apart from not having bound feet, you are very thin, and like women, you will menstruate and give birth. Do you want to live as a woman or as a man in the future?"

Living as a woman is perfectly natural. Even when we first met, I was absolutely certain you were a woman.

If you live as a man, you will have many flaws and will be exposed quickly. If you are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, you will either be taken to a brothel or to the private quarters of a powerful person for their pleasure.

So Zijing, you need to think carefully about your future.

Yin Zijin said very seriously, "Zhang Peng, I have thought about this matter. Let's take it one step at a time! I want to seek medical treatment first to see if I can reverse my physical decline and live openly under the sun as a normal man."

During this time, for my own safety and to avoid being exposed, I will dress as a woman. After all, I'm only five years old and can't protect myself. And you can't have someone watching me all the time!

After a quick discussion, Zhang Peng said, "Okay, let's do it this way. This will make our plan to fake our death and escape much simpler. Also, Feng Yu, I'll find the last doctor in the Great Sheng Dynasty to treat your illness."

Yin Zijing chuckled and said, "Zhang Peng, your plan is quite far ahead. That's right, given the Zhang family's vengeful nature, even if I go to Fu'an Temple, they won't let me off the hook!"

"Zhang Peng, if I had known earlier that it was you, that you were Sheng Yiming, I might have found a different way to escape from the Yin residence. But it's all too late. Master Wudeng is almost at the Yin residence, and Ruhe has already instructed the maids to deliver the message. That scoundrel sent by Aunt Feng should be arriving soon..."

Meanwhile, as Yin Zijing guessed correctly, Master Wudeng was on his way to the Yin residence and was getting closer and closer to it.

As soon as Ruhe left Biyue Pavilion, she followed Yin Zijin's instructions, keeping an eye on the people playing hide-and-seek while quietly walking to a corner hidden by grass and trees. As Yin Zijin had instructed, she whispered to a maid, "Go tell Aunt Feng that no man has entered the Sixth Miss's boudoir until now, and ask Aunt Feng to let that lecherous man in."

Your mother was very ill, and your sixth sister had been secretly helping you, giving you money, food, and drink, which helped your mother slowly recover. Now it's time for you to repay your sixth sister.

You've always worked for Aunt Feng, yet she's never been so generous in saving your mother. When they question you later, just stay silent and insist that Aunt Feng was behind it, and you'll be fine.

As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If Aunt Feng hadn't had such intentions, how could she have been used by others? If it weren't for Sixth Sister's cleverness in discovering your sneaky behavior, she would definitely have been tricked by Aunt Feng.

This time, Sixth Miss just wanted to teach Aunt Feng a lesson; she'd be better off using that time to do more good deeds.

The maidservant named Qinghua immediately knelt on the ground and whispered, "Thank you so much, Sixth Miss and Miss Ruhe, for saving my life. If it weren't for you, my mother would have died long ago. I am just a lowly servant, and if I cannot escape unscathed in this matter, I hope Sixth Miss can take good care of my mother. I kowtow to Sixth Miss."

Ruhe smiled and said, "Qinghua, I didn't expect you to be so smart! Get up quickly."

After saying this, Ruhe helped Qinghua up and took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom. Ruhe instructed, "Qinghua, this contains a breath-holding pill. Take it as you see fit. After taking it, you will have no breath, just like you are dead. Most doctors won't be able to tell. And usually, servants who have committed crimes are not properly buried; they are simply thrown into a mass grave. This breath-holding pill can keep you in a state of suspended animation for 6 hours. After 6 hours, you will wake up. When you wake up, go directly to the back gate of Fu'an Temple. Someone will rescue you there."

Remember, you must insist that it was Aunt Feng who did it; that's your only chance of survival. If you say it was Sixth Miss who did it, given Aunt Feng's character, you, Sixth Miss, and your mother will all be dead.

Qinghua nodded, took the small porcelain bottle of water from Ruhe, and quickly left. As for how Qinghua would leave through that little red door, Aunt Feng would probably take care of that…

At this moment, Yin Zijing had already told Zhang Peng the detailed plan. Zhang Peng said with a shocked look, "Fengyu, this plan is flawless! You have lived in the inner quarters for 5 years, and you can still come up with such a brilliant idea."

Yin Zijing sighed and said, "It's purely for self-preservation! What else could I do? Oh! By the way, Zhang Peng. I'll trouble you to save Qinghua when the time comes. Take her away and get her proper treatment."

Zhang Peng said, "Okay, Fengyu, I promise you. I'll send people to keep a close watch behind Fu'an Temple. But Fengyu, how do you know Qinghua will definitely..."

Before Zhang Peng could finish speaking, Yin Zijin interjected, "Zhang Peng, I know what you mean. I've been immersed in the inner quarters for five years, and I know some things. In the Great Sheng Dynasty, where human life is treated like dirt, a servant's life is nothing."

Qinghua will definitely become the target of everyone's anger, while the masters will continue to be high and mighty, enjoying their wealth and luxury. Given Aunt Feng's character, if Qinghua persists in attacking her, she will shift all the blame onto Qinghua.

If Qinghua confesses and reveals my identity, then my plan will be in vain. Therefore, I must save Qinghua and find a way for her to survive.

I can't fathom people's hearts, but for the sake of my conscience, I have to do this. Only in this way can I feel like a human being, and not a "lady of the inner chambers" corrupted by the ways of the inner quarters. Zhang Peng, do you understand?

Zhang Peng nodded and said, "Feng Yu, you've been through so much, been trapped in the inner quarters for so many years, and suffered so much torment, yet you're still so kind. You're still as kind as you are in modern times."

While you're trying to save yourself, you're always thinking about not burdening others. But Fengyu, don't you feel that living like this is too tiring? Sometimes being a little selfish is fine.

"And since there's a drug to fake death, why don't you take it?"

Yin Zijin said, "I already told Zhang Peng that the fake death medicine is generally undetectable by ordinary doctors. What if it's discovered? Qinghua is just a servant girl; no one will call a doctor for her. I'm different. I'm the sixth young lady of the Yin family. I'm Aunt Li's 'daughter.' If something really happened to me, she would probably desperately beg Madam to call the best doctor!"

A parent's love for their children can sometimes be good or bad. Besides, I haven't spent much time with Li, but I believe she would do it. I don't dare take the risk; I have no choice but to put myself in her shoes.

Yin Zijing walked to the cabinet next to the daybed, took out a pair of scissors, and said, "Zhang Peng, did you see that? This dagger will stab into my chest in a moment; only that way will it look realistic..."

Seeing the scissors in Yin Zijing's hand, Zhang Peng tried to snatch them away, saying nervously, "Fengyu, do you have to be so reckless? What if the scissors go astray and stab you to death?"

Yin Zijin joked, "Perfect, if I stab him to death, I might be able to go back to the modern world."

Then Yin Zijin added, "Don't worry, Zhang Peng. I don't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, but I handle a scalpel every day in modern times, so I know what I'm doing. I know exactly where to insert the needle and how much to insert. You don't need to worry."

Zhang Peng said worriedly, "Hey! Feng Yu, why are you doing this? I have martial arts skills; if you want, I can take you away right now."

Seeing that Yin Fengyu was about to say something, Zhang Peng quickly raised his hand and said, "Alright, alright, Fengyu, you don't need to say anything. I know what you mean; you don't want to burden others. Especially Master Wudeng and His Highness the Crown Prince, who are complete strangers but promised to help you. And Ruhe, Yin Jingyi, and possibly that Li Shi who never raised you."

Yin Fengyu nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Peng, you're right. I, Yin Fengyu, am a person with a heart, and I don't want to be so selfish."

"Wouldn't my chances be much better if I went to Fu'an Temple? It would be much easier to carry out my plan later, and it would be much easier to get away then..."

Just then, cries for help came from outside…
