"Take this token. If Hongli is confused again in the future, you should find someone to go to the palace to ask for the imperial physician. Don't let those useless things affect your child's health. Do you understand?"

Looking at the pair of hands with distinct joints and slender fingers holding the black round plate in front of her, Fucha Langya was stunned at first. Soon, after Yin Qi frowned and handed it forward again, she came to her senses and quickly took the round plate.

Holding the jade token tightly in her palm, Fu Cha Langya showed a surprised smile on her face and looked up to reply to Yin Qi.

"Yes, niece-in-law understands."

Yin Qi really couldn't bear to watch Fu Cha Langya's silly look, so he nodded awkwardly and walked out of the house, leaving Fu Cha Langya staring at his back in a daze with flickering eyes.

"Fujin...Fujin...Fujin?"

It took a long while before Fu Cha Langya came to her senses again until she felt Su Lian calling her softly.

The palm of her hand holding the handkerchief was soaked with sweat due to her pounding heart. Fu Cha Langya uttered "Oh" in a daze, then she remembered her daughter who still had a high fever, and went to look at her daughter in a trance.

Yinqi, who had just come out of the bedroom, was now standing in front of Hongli. He was observing the expressions of the people kneeling outside.

Hongli, who was kneeling at the front, had a wandering look and looked nervous. When he saw Yinqi coming out, he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Kneeling behind him were Qingying, who looked indignant, and Fucha Chuying and Gao Xiyue, who were confused.

Feeling the anger, curiosity or resentment from these people towards him, Yin Qi sneered and spoke.

"Hongli, do you know why I am angry today?"

When being questioned, Hongli straightened his back immediately. He lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking uncertainly.

"Because my nephew didn't call a doctor for Jin'er, she became seriously ill?"

"Yeah, there's more."

What else? Hongli glanced at Qingying behind him obscurely, thought about it, and finally closed his eyes and hardened his heart.

He thought to himself: He had no choice but to give Qingying up for the sake of the future. He will definitely compensate Qingying in the future.

"My nephew shouldn't have listened to Qingying and favored his concubine over his wife, nor should he have attacked his wife just to protect Qingying."

As soon as Hongli said this, Qingying behind him looked up at Hongli in disbelief and even screamed out sharply.

"Brother Hongli!"

But Hongli didn’t have the mind to look at Qingying’s expression at the moment. He only wanted to get Yinqi’s satisfaction.

Seeing that Yin Qi did not ask any more questions after his answer this time, and looking up to see that Yin Qi's expression was indeed somewhat satisfied, Hongli knelt straighter and made a promise to Yin Qi.

"It was my fault this time. I shouldn't have listened to Qingying and taken Jin'er's illness lightly, nor should I have done that to Fu Cha. Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely change my ways and never disrespect Fu Cha again. I will also change my ways and never favor a concubine over a wife again."

Hongli spoke sincerely, but Yinqi was not interested in it.

He was not very interested in what was going on with their family, so Yinqi raised his hand impatiently to tell Hongli to shut up.

"Since you know where you are wrong, I think you also know how to deal with it. Today's matter is your family affair, and I should not interfere. However, since it concerns the heirs of our Aisin-Gioro family, I have to intervene."

As he said this, Yinqi looked at Hongli meaningfully.

"Don't forget what your life was like before just because you are out of danger, Hongli, think about it carefully."

After saying that, Yinqi patted Hongli on the shoulder and left Baobei Mansion with his men, leaving Hongli standing there in a daze for a long time.

When only their own people were left in the mansion, Chunlai, the puppet that Yinqi had placed next to Hongli earlier, stepped forward and helped his master up, which brought Hongli out of his contemplation.

The people behind him saw Hongli stand up, and finally stood up with difficulty with the help of the maid. Of course, this did not include Qingying, who was waiting for Hongli to explain to her, and A Ruo, who secretly rolled her eyes when she saw Qingying starting to act pretentiously again.

"My Lord, Prince Yu has left. Please stand up quickly. Don't hurt your knees."

Hongli, who was helped up, still looked a little dazed. He relaxed for a while and forced himself to walk to the dormitory door with his aching legs. He glanced at Fucha Langya and his eldest daughter inside the room. His eyes were deep, but he did not go in. Instead, he turned around and ignored everyone's expectant gazes, and limped towards his front yard.

During this time, he didn't even glance at the women behind him who were still looking at him.

The women who were left behind looked at each other, but none of them could understand what had happened today. Besides, now that the prince was gone, the wife in the house was busy taking care of the eldest princess and probably had no time to pay attention to them.

There was no other choice but to return to their own yard in embarrassment.

Only the embarrassed Qingying was still kneeling on the ground, at a loss as to what to do. She had not yet felt sad about Hongli ignoring her as before.

Gao Xiyue, who had already walked a distance away, turned around and walked back when she saw this. She looked down at Qingying's distraught appearance, and for a moment she seemed to have forgotten even the pain in her leg, and started to mock.

"Some people are so mean and hypocritical. The eldest princess is sick because of her, but they still pretend to be aggrieved and try to seduce the prince to coax her back. Bah, so shameless!"

Gao Xiyue's words made Qingying's face look extremely ugly, but her current appearance was already embarrassing enough, so she didn't say anything, just bit her lip and ignored the other party.

Normally, Arruo should have spoken up on Qingying's behalf to fight back against Gao Xiyue by now, but it was obvious that Prince Beile was displeased with what happened today, so Arruo did not dare to speak again this time. Instead, she resented Qingying in her heart for not getting up. Her legs were almost numb from kneeling.

Seeing Qingying like this, Gao Xiyue, who had been suppressed by the other party since entering the palace, felt even more pleased.

"If I were her, I would immediately hide in my room and not come out, and then copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to pray for the eldest princess and apologize for her sins."

After saying that, Gao Xiyue didn't even look at Qingying's ugly face. Like a victorious hen, she walked back happily and with difficulty.

"Master, let's go back."

Only when the master and the servant were left in the courtyard did A'ruo kneel down, approach Qingying, and speak softly.

With Qingying at the step below, she stood up with the help of A'ruo. After she stood up, she looked at the road leading to the front yard where Hongli had just disappeared, then she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and responded.

"Well, let's go"

After returning that day, Yinqi no longer cared about what happened in Baobei'er Mansion, and did not complain to Yongzheng. However, Yongzheng was not able to hide what happened that day, and soon the spy informed Yongzheng that he knew about it.

After hearing about what happened that day, Yongzheng was extremely disappointed with Hongli and even issued an order to punish Hongli. However, that was not something Yinqi could control.
