Su Peisheng was afraid that the Fourth Master would be hurt if he continued like this, so he hurried to persuade him, "Master, Fu Jin used the Xiji Pills to win your favor, and no one knew that it would implicate the Second Prince!"

Seeing that his words had no effect, Su Peisheng knew that he had not hit the nail on the head. He thought for a moment and blurted out words of comfort, "Maybe, maybe Fu Jin loves you too much, that's why she cares so much about your favor..."

Yinzhen sneered, then pointed at Su Peisheng and said, "What does she care about, my favor or wealth? A lady from a noble family who has been using Xiji Pills to hone her body and dancing posture since she was a child, ha! What kind of lady is this? The wife of a dignified minister actually raised her own daughter into such a stunning beauty. Does Jueluo think that I am a lustful person?"

This is what annoyed Yinzhen the most. No matter how useless he is, he is still a royal grandson and a noble. How can he be willing to be played like a monkey by others?

Shame, resentment, suspicion, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions arise spontaneously.

"Be patient and avoid haste", this is how the Emperor evaluated him. It took him more than ten years to train himself into the calm person he is today, but deep down, he is still the impatient and hot-tempered Fourth Prince. If he can't bear it anymore, then there is no need to bear it anymore!

"Su Peisheng, lead the way. I need to go to the main courtyard."

Yinzhen's face was gloomy, and he strode towards the main courtyard. His amazing posture frightened every servant in the main courtyard. He ignored these trembling servants and went straight to the side room where Rouze was in confinement.

Rouze lay on the bed, a look of joy on her face, and said softly and gently, "Silang, why are you here? Are you here to see Wanwan?"

"I heard that your mother came to see you, why don't you ask her to stay at home for a while longer?" The tone of his voice was cold, and there was a hint of anger in it if you listened carefully.

Rouze felt a little uneasy, remembering the secret conversation between her and her mother, and the muscle-relieving pills that had caused such a disaster. She quickly made up an excuse to avoid Silang from digging further into the matter.

"Mother is worried about my health and the Second Prince's health, so she comes to visit often. I also want to keep mother for a while, but mother is the head of the Ulanara family after all, and she is busy with household affairs, so I went back first."

Yinzhen stared at Rouze's flawless, jade-like face, and a question flashed through his mind: Is this Xiji Pill really so effective? Fu Jin had only given birth for 20 days, and she had gradually regained her beauty. Was this her own gift, or was it the Xiji Pill that had worked?

"Rouzhe, do you still remember when we first met under the plum tree four years ago?"

Rouze was lost in her memories. She could tell all the details of that day. "Wanwan certainly remembers. That day I wore a deep red gilded wedding dress and performed a stunning dance under the plum tree. Silang happened to see us. We fell in love at first sight. Then Silang went to ask the emperor for help, and I was able to marry him."

Yinzhen stood up, exhaled lightly, and then took two steps back. "Wanwan, Rouze, can I trust you? Are you hiding something from me?"

Rouze shook her head. Although she was puzzled as to why Silang asked her this, she still answered, "No, Wanwan has always been frank with Silang, and there is nothing hidden..."

"You're still lying! Xiji Wan, what is this? You don't know it, do you?"

Rouze's face turned pale, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly lowered her head, not daring to look into Yinzhen's eyes again, "What is that? Silang, what are you talking about? Wanwan knows nothing!"

Still trying to be stubborn? Yinzhen sneered, picked up the teacup beside him and threw it to the ground, gritting his teeth and said, "Don't quibble anymore. I know everything you and Jueluo said. Rouze, tell me, have you ever used Xiji Pills?"

Rouze was struck by lightning and immediately questioned, "Silang, you actually let someone eavesdrop on my conversation with my mother? Don't you trust Wanwan that much?"

"Why do I suspect you? Don't you know it yet? Mother hinted that the Second Prince's condition was caused by you, his biological mother. I'm not a fool. I can't be fooled by your words. Because of the murder of his wife and his legitimate son, the entire Prince's mansion was turned upside down. After searching for so long, they didn't expect to find you, his biological mother, as the cause?"

Yinzhen paused. Now that things have come to this, he might as well tell it all. "Rou Ze, you are greedy and you are still hoping for the best. You want to be favored by the emperor and have a legitimate son. As a result, not only do you suffer, but you also bring trouble to the Second Prince. Now the Second Prince is always taking medicine and struggling to breathe a few more times every day. How can I not blame you?"

Rouze pulled aside the quilt covering herself, struggled to get out of bed, crawled forward on her knees, grabbed the corner of Yinzhen's clothes and refused to let go.

She cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears. I felt sorry for her. "Silang, Wanwan didn't mean it. Wanwan just loves you too much, so she can't tolerate any imperfections in herself. Silang, there are so many women in your backyard, and there will be more in the future. Wanwan has to compete with so many women for Silang's heart, and can only rely on Xiji Pills..."

"Really?" Yinzhen shook off Rouze's hand. "But I heard that you have been using Xiji Pills since you were a child. In that case, who are you using Xiji Pills for?"

"I have loved practicing dancing since I was a child, but I just can't stand the hardship, so my mother gave me the recipe for Xiji Pills. Silang, believe me, I used Xiji Pills so that I could practice dancing to my heart's content. The maids who served me in the past can all testify to this!"

Rouze was still young at that time, and she might have started using the Xiji Pills simply out of love for beauty. But Jueluo, as her biological mother, was willing to harm her own daughter's body in order to train Rouze into a stunning beauty who was different from any other lady from a noble family. Her heart is despicable!

Yinzhen planned to investigate what happened that year in detail.

However, he still had one thing to ask, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat!

"Rouzhe, is your love for me real? Do you care about me or the wealth and glory of being the fourth wife?"

Rouze swore to the sky: "Silang, Wanwan can swear that my love for Silang is real, so I am jealous of those women who monopolize Silang's favor."

Yinzhen didn't know whether he should believe Rouze's words. He only knew that it was easy to take back trust, but difficult to give it back. Rouze betrayed his trust, and made him doubt his own judgment.

"Gan and Miao are the culprits who caused your premature birth. Gan has been sentenced to death, and Miao was pregnant and died of dystocia after giving birth. You can stay in the main courtyard and take care of the second prince. All the affairs of the mansion will be handled by Yixiu from now on!"

Rouze was unwilling to lose her power as a housekeeper, and was also unwilling to let Miao give birth to a child, so she immediately asked, "Silang, I..."

"Stop it, Rouze. Let's end this matter here. I'm really tired!" After three years of loving each other, he still had a little thought for Rouze. "Rouzhe, if my mother can find out your background, it means that my father can find out too. If you don't want the royal family to have a fourth wife who dies young, you have to learn to be obedient."

Rouze collapsed on the ground, looking at Shilang's back which was gradually going away. For the first time, she realized what a bolt from the blue meant!
