The Fourth Prince had already sensed that the Lord was dissatisfied with him. Panic surged in his heart, and he began to retreat, wanting to live a stable life with his wife. However, An Xiyuan was unwilling to give up. They had finally gained the Lord’s favor—how could they give up due to a minor setback? For the sake of the child in her belly, they had to grit their teeth and endure.

Recently, the He Madam frequently inquired about Yin Zheng's preferences from the palace elders, which surprised Yin Zheng. Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Li Wei stepped in to ease the tension. The He Madam, pleased, subtly hinted that Li Wei should start calling her "Mother. " Li Wei hesitantly called out "Mother," making the He Madam beam with joy as she loudly responded. The family sat together drinking mutton soup, the atmosphere warm and joyful.

That night, after Li Wei prepared the bed, she called Yin Zheng to rest. Yin Zheng was overjoyed inside but pretended to be shy on the surface. As they lay on the bed, they drew closer and eventually embraced. Li Wei couldn’t help but recall the time in Canghe Town—when Yin Zheng was gravely ill, she wondered whether, if he died under her care, she would be executed according to Xinchuan law.

She didn’t know whether to follow him in death or await her execution. But the more she thought about it, the less afraid she became. As long as she could stay by Yin Zheng’s side, it seemed like she could accept anything. Yin Zheng also remembered how, when Li Wei first arrived in Xinchuan, she constantly declared she wanted to become a widow. He teased her, saying if he really died, wouldn’t that fulfill her wish?

Unexpectedly, Li Wei suddenly sat up and kissed him, reminding him not to speak such unlucky words again. Once dry wood is ignited, it blazes uncontrollably. In the haze of emotions, the two became true husband and wife. Yin Zheng and Yin Qi went to the palace to see the Lord and immediately saw the Fourth Prince, who had been standing there for a long time. The two merely exchanged glances without speaking and walked straight past him.

Upon seeing his sons enter, the Lord finally smiled and reminded Yin Zheng to take care of his health. Outside the hall, Yin An couldn’t help but rebuke the Fourth Prince. He had always thought the Fourth Prince was merely shrewd but never expected such ill intentions. The Lord also reminded the Fourth Prince that no matter what, one should never harm his brothers. After a few words of advice, the Lord finally collapsed.

Upon hearing the news, Madam Chuan wasn’t flustered at all but instead mocked the Lord, saying that after a lifetime of scheming, this was his end. As the Lord hadn’t appeared for days, there were heated discussions in court. Officials from the Ministry of Rites cautiously asked the palace attendants whether a crown prince should be designated. The Fourth Prince chimed in. Upon hearing this, Yin Zheng quickly stepped forward to interrupt and warned them not to act rashly.

Aside from fearing someone might seize the opportunity, Yin Zheng also felt disheartened—it seemed that among all, only the Third and Seventh Princes truly cared about the Lord. Li Wei originally wanted to prepare some nutritious food for the Lord, but he refused to see anyone. Seeing Yin Zheng sigh, Li Wei comforted him, saying that the Lord must have his own reasons for not meeting people, but perhaps there was one person he did want to see.

Meanwhile, Yin Qi had rushed back and insisted on seeing the Lord despite the guards’ obstruction. At that moment, a palace attendant came out and allowed Yin Qi to enter the hall. Yin Qi finally entered the hall but could only speak to his father through a screen. Just as he was about to leave in disappointment, he suddenly heard a heavy cough from inside. Yin Qi disregarded all formalities—he just wanted to see his father.

Seeing his father no longer the dignified figure he once was, lying pale as snow on the bed, Yin Qi felt deeply grieved. He knew his father had hidden his illness to avoid political scheming, but he also wanted him to know that someone truly cared for him. Moved by Yin Qi’s heartfelt words, the Lord was brought to tears. That day, the Lord dressed properly and held a family banquet in the palace.

The family gathered, chatting and laughing—a lively scene. Only the Fourth Prince’s family sat at home plotting the succession. That day, news of An Xiyuan giving birth to a son reached the palace, and the Lord smiled. But unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince rushed in carrying the child, wanting the Lord to name him. The Lord's expression darkened, and he signaled the Fourth Prince to leave.
