Fourth Master burst out laughing: "Like this, what's there to fear?"

  "I'm afraid of everything..." Ye Zao bit her lip and then sucked in a painful breath. She had bitten it open before, and it still hadn't healed after two days.

  "Does it hurt? You don't have a long memory." Fourth Master sat beside her and smiled.

  "Grandpa... are those two people dead?" Ye Zao suddenly remembered Dongxue and Hongtao, and their faces didn't look right.

  Fourth Master didn't say anything, he just looked at Ye Zao with some malice.

  At that time, Ye Zao was extremely angry, and Siye responded accordingly. However, two days later, she still acted like this, and Siye couldn't help but feel a bit...awkward.

  "Is he dead?" Ye Zao suddenly became excited and tried to get up quickly.

  As soon as he moved, the wound on his back pulled and ached to the bone.

  The internal organs in the abdominal cavity seemed to have shifted, and he bit his lip, turning pale all of a sudden, and fell forward motionless.

  Fourth Master's eyebrows furrowed: "Those two slaves, is their death that important?"

  How are you?

  "My... it hurts." Ye Zao's entire body was limp and in agony.

  She was originally going to take good care of herself for a few more days...

  "Call the imperial physician." Fourth Master said aloud.

  "Those two are dead." Fourth Master's tone was somewhat flat, clearly displeased.

  "They... one trying to curry favor with the master, another betraying her former master, framing me... framing me for scratching my own face and framing Lady Li Ce Fu Jin... I... even if I were to frame someone, I wouldn't dare ruin my own face... why shouldn't I hate? I almost died, sir doesn't know how painful it was... the first board came down, I... just... six boards in total, each one... used full force, Lady Li Ce Fu Jin... wanted me dead, why can't I hate those two slaves? Even if a concubine is worthless, are they not worth more than a blade of grass?"

  Ye Zao spoke in a stuttering manner, and tears fell down with her words.

  She didn't even want to look at Fourth Master now.

  Fourth Master sighed: "Alright, the person is already dead. You should take care of yourself."

  "Grandfather thinks I'm cruel and ruthless. Is it that I should be bullied by these servants?" Ye Zao sneered.

  Fourth Master's eyebrows furrowed again: "Ye Shi!"

  The woman who dared to sneer at him, this is the first...

  Just then, the imperial physician arrived, and Fourth Master merely dropped a sentence: "Take a look at her," before leaving.

  The imperial physician had just left for a short while and came back again. He was so frightened that he lost his soul, thinking to himself: "It can't be that something has happened to the emperor again?"

  After feeling her pulse and wiping away her sweat: "Miss, you mustn't get excited, take good care of yourself for a few days! For the next few days, it's absolutely forbidden to move around lightly."

  "Sorry to trouble you." Ye Zao smiled slightly.

  "I don't dare, I don't dare." The imperial physician hastily shook his head and went out.

  After reporting to Fourth Master, Fourth Master just hummed and didn't say anything else.

  After the imperial physician left, Su Peisheng cautiously asked: "Sir, are you going to send Ye Niang back home to recuperate?"

  He also saw Siye unhappy, is it because of this that he became disgusted?

  If you dislike it, then you can't put it by your side.

  "Didn't you hear she can't move?" Fourth Master waved his hand impatiently.

  Su Peisheng hurried out.

  In his heart, he thought, got it, this is not just dislike, but also annoyed?

  This is a big problem!

  Ye Zao had fallen asleep again. Before falling asleep, there was just one thought.

  Having survived a great calamity, shouldn't one change their temper? That's also too stifling.

  What's wrong with being a concubine? Should I live like a dog? No way!

  From that day on, Fourth Master never went to see Ye Zao again.

  It wasn't until the next morning that Fourth Master was allowed in.

  When she left, Ye Zao was still sleeping. She lay on the couch, her face towards the outside, her long hair seemed to have been cleaned up yesterday, very clean, and scattered on the couch.

  His face was still pale, and his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He had a thin blanket draped over his back, but his round shoulders were exposed.

  A pair of beautiful arms were outside, one hand was placed under the chin, apparently she didn't like sleeping this way, it was very uncomfortable.

  Fourth Master looked at her for a while before coming out, and saw Ah Yuan and Ah Ling at the door, as well as the two who were sent over yesterday, one named Rouge and the other named Amber.

  "How are you girls?"

  "As for Master Ziyuan's words, the young lady had half a bowl of porridge in the morning and took her medicine. She drank some water and fell asleep again." said Ah Yuan.

  "Why so little?" Fourth Master frowned.

  "Regarding Master Ziyuan's words, the young lady said she hasn't eaten for two days and can't eat much. The imperial physician also said so." said Ah Yuan.

  "Good, good, take care of yourself and report back when you wake up." Fourth Master said.

  Several girls responded busily.

  The two newcomers were even more astonished. This girl was really spoiled enough, eating as much as she wanted, and the master would ask about it.

  Goodbye, Ye Qian, it's afternoon already.

  The doctor said she should sleep a lot now, so she didn't wake up for lunch and wasn't called.

  Fourth Master came over when Ah Ling and Ah Yuan were holding her and feeding her food.

  "I was just about to..."

  "Never mind, continue." Fourth Master waved his hand.

  Ye Zao swallowed what was in his mouth and said softly: "Grandpa... this is delicious."

  Fourth Master took a glance: "Mm."

  I thought Fourth Master would still ignore her, but instead he sat on one side and watched the maids serve Ye Zao.

  After she finished eating and rinsed her mouth, several maids hurried out.

  "Grandfather, don't be angry anymore." Ye Zaoxin said, this step still needs to be taken by himself.

  Otherwise, if Fourth Master really dislikes it, it would be a loss.

  "Is it better?" Fourth Master glanced at her.

  According to the way Fourth Master was before, a woman who dared to coldly smile at him would definitely be relegated to the 'Cold Palace' from now on.

  However, she almost lost her life, and Fourth Master really... couldn't bear it.

  At that time, I couldn't bear it, but afterwards, thinking about it again, she's still young after all. Having suffered this much, it doesn't count as anything.

  "Grandpa..." Ye Zao made a pitiful cry, but didn't respond to Fourth Master.

  Fourth Master raised his eyes and habitually furrowed his brow: "What?"

  "Grandpa... come over here, I... I can't get across." Ye Zao stretched out one hand.

  Fourth Master's heart felt like it had been scratched by a little kitten, all tingly...

  Really want to go, but somehow feel a bit off.

  "Others have nightmares when they're in pain, but you held me... and then you rejected me. I washed myself last night, I'm very clean, not smelly..."

  This time, Fourth Master couldn't hold it in, he laughed, and was teased by Ye Zao.

  He doesn't go, where is it disdainful of her stinky or not? Really...

  However, she also washed at night and was careful about it.

  Fourth Master coughed and sat up beside her, intentionally keeping a distance. His hand could have touched hers, but he kept it just out of reach.

  Ye Zao refused to go any further, she just tilted her head and looked at Fourth Master carefully.

  After a while, Fourth Master looked embarrassed and let out a long sigh: "It's great to be alive, Master is so good to me, I really don't want to die."

  She deliberately didn't call him "slave" today, just to see how Fourth Master would react.
