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

Yin Zijing was never one to be coy. Her bright eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, and her watery eyes seemed to speak volumes. Her slightly disheveled pink dress and hair made her look even more pitiful.

Yin Zijing smiled gently, her smile as warm as the March sun, making everything around her feel warmer. She whispered, "Thank you..."

This was the first time Sheng Yixuan had seen Yin Zijing's warm smile. His previously frozen heart seemed to melt instantly, as if touched by a spring breeze. He looked at the person before him with a little embarrassment, a strange feeling welling up inside him. This was an experience he had never had before; a strange yet intoxicating emotion spread through his heart.

Sheng Yixuan said somewhat flusteredly, "Oh, right. Where were we? Let's continue..."

Yin Zijin smiled and continued, "Although there may be people who want my life in the inner quarters of the Yin family, they will only do so secretly and will not disregard the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Moreover, the Yin family values ​​their reputation, and Fu'an Temple is a noisy place with many people and a large influx of refugees, so they wouldn't commit such a high-profile murder. In the inner quarters, they wouldn't use such a foolish method to make someone disappear.

Besides, I've already arrived at Fu'an Temple, so I won't have any impact on them. The only thing that will affect me is the position of the Crown Prince's concubine. For a concubine's daughter, the position of the Crown Prince's concubine is already an immense fortune. If that's really the case, the people from the Yin family are indeed suspicious. But I feel that causing trouble here would be too costly.

There is a second possibility, and that is Your Highness the Crown Prince. As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the colder it gets. From ancient times to the present, whether it is those emperors who claimed to be ordained by Heaven and destined for eternal prosperity, or those rebels who shouted, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?", people's desire for power and wealth has always been so strong, and some people have even gone mad for it.

The position of Crown Prince, second only to the Emperor, is coveted by countless people. It can be said that those with ability in this position become targets of envy, while those without are like rats in the street, fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others. Your Highness, the Crown Prince should understand Zijing's meaning.”

Sheng Yixuan looked at the person in front of him with some appreciation, sparing no praise: "I didn't expect that Zijing would be so insightful at such a young age. However..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Yin Zijing with a look of inquiry and doubt, and continued: "I am curious, why are you so mature?"

Yin Zijing met Sheng Yixuan's gaze. Sheng Yixuan's cold eyes held a hint of aggression, as if he had stripped her naked, leaving her utterly exposed before him. Yin Zijing thought this was what they called the aura of someone in a superior position!

But Yin Zijing quickly regained her composure and smiled slightly, saying, "Perhaps it's because of some experiences that I've come to understand many things. Everyone has secrets, things they don't want others to know. Some are bloody and painful, some are hurdles that some people can never overcome in their hearts..."

Yin Zijing skillfully avoided answering the question directly, at least for now, he didn't want Sheng Yixuan to know too much. Although he had some goodwill towards the person in front of him, he was also the Crown Prince, and he had only known him for a few days.

As the two were talking, a strange man's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, I have prepared some warm water and some clean clothes."

Sheng Yixuan said, "Bring it in!"

The man, without looking to the side, quickly carried the items into the room and then tactfully withdrew.

Sheng Yixuan took the things to the inner room and instructed, "Tonight is not safe. Zijing, you should sleep here tonight! I will make do on the low couch in the outer room for the night. If anything happens, just call me."

"And I understand what Zijing just said. But one day, I will make Zijing willingly tell me everything..." After saying that, he went to the outer room without waiting for Yin Zijing's reaction.

Yin Zijing shook her head, washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Perhaps it was because of all the things that had happened tonight, or because she wasn't feeling well, and with Sheng Yixuan by her side to protect her, she relaxed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

In the still of the night, the cicadas chirped and the frogs croaked, with the occasional bark of a dog. The entire Fu'an Temple was silent. The dim oil lamp could not illuminate the whole room, and only the glow of a small flame shone on the bed, revealing Yin Zijing's slightly immature yet stunningly beautiful face: slender willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, an oval face, and fair and smooth skin. Coupled with her frail body, Yin Zijing was truly breathtaking.

Perhaps she was exhausted, for Yin Zijing didn't wake up until dawn. Seeing Granny Zhou and Ruhe by her bedside, Yin Zijing quickly sat up straight, staring at them in astonishment.
