For more than a month, King Qi Zeyi of Yan had a hard time.

He sent many people to assassinate Youzhou County Magistrate Sun Xuran on the way from Youzhou to Shangjing, but unexpectedly they all ended in failure, and Sun Xuran returned to Beijing safely.

Recently, the Prince of Chen has been targeting him in every way in the court. Sun Xuran's matter is also directly related to him, which makes him a little anxious for a while.

Adding to that immortal old man Master Qingyi, Qi Zeyi clenched his fists, with anger flashing in his eyes. He sent people to chase and kill him, but he was rescued by Xie Yunsong's men halfway. It seems that he has probably reached the northern border by now.

Xie Yunsong, it's Xie Yunsong again. Why does he oppose me everywhere?

There are undercurrents in the court. Recently, because of Sun Xuran's incident, his father has been quite cold towards him, and Prince Chen's people are even more relentless, vowing to confirm the relationship between Sun Xuran and him.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and threatened Sun Xuran's family to prevent him from revealing the truth. As for Yuan Qing, he was just a useless person and didn't know the core secrets of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so he didn't take it to heart.

King Qi Zeyi of Yan sorted out his thoughts, called Bai Yu in, and ordered: "I have thought about it and it is still not appropriate. You should find a chance to get rid of Sun Xuran as soon as possible. King Chen will definitely find a way to get useful information out of him. Although he dare not betray me for the time being, he is also a time bomb. I can't guarantee that he will betray me one day."

Bai Yu: “Yes.” He took the order and left.

Qi Zeyi sat in the study for a while, feeling increasingly annoyed. He stood up and found the portrait of Bai Zhiyuan he had drawn that day, and gently stroked it. It's been so long, Ayuan, when will you come back?

Recently, my father was instigated by Concubine Shu and had the intention of choosing a concubine for him. Bai Zhiyuan is not in the capital now, and it is difficult to guess what my father is thinking. If he really issues an imperial decree to grant him a marriage, then there will be no possibility for him and Bai Zhiyuan to be together in this life.

But they had already called off the engagement, so my father's path might not work now. The King of Yan clenched his fists. He had to get the position he wanted quickly to get Bai Zhiyuan and recall her from the northern border.

But the current situation is quite unfavorable to him. How can he turn it around?

While Qi Zeyi was thinking, Jiang Muyun came over with Pei'er.

Ever since Jiang Muyun saw the usually gentle Qi Zeyi showing such a brutal side, she was very scared and subconsciously wanted to avoid her. But she was his concubine and had to rely on him to survive.

Now, hearing that Qi Zeyi was in the mansion today, she had to cheer up and go find him.

Jiang Muyun knocked on the door, Qi Zeyi frowned and said, "Come in!"

Jiang Muyun then walked in with her maid.

"Your Highness, are you tired?" Jiang Muyun gently massaged his shoulders with both hands, "Let me massage your shoulders, Your Highness."

Qi Zeyi leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the comfort brought by Jiang Muyun's small hands massaging his shoulders.

"I am a little tired." Qi Zeyi said calmly, and then asked: "How is the baby in Chenxiang's belly these days?"

Jiang Muyun's eyes flashed with anger, but she quickly concealed it. She said, "The child is fine. The prince ordered me to be extremely alert and have people serve her day and night. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she will give birth soon."

Jiang Muyun said softly, "I am here to wish the prince a happy birth of a son."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Qi Zeyi's eyes. The child was still of some use to him.

Thinking of this, he said, "Since the baby is about to be born, you should send someone to keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Jiang Muyun bowed her head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry." She didn't understand why Qi Zeyi valued a child born by a maid so much. But she didn't dare to ask, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and agreed. In fact, she hated Chenxiang so much that she wished that ugly bastard would die.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Your Highness, you should go eat something first." Jiang Muyun did not continue talking about this topic. "The kitchen cooks the dishes that Your Highness likes." Qi Zeyi nodded. After he and Jiang Muyun finished their meal in the dining room, Cuizhu, who was serving Chenxiang, came.

"Your Highness, Miss Chenxiang has been complaining of stomachache and wants to see you, Your Highness."

Qi Zeyi replied calmly, "I am not a doctor. If you have a stomachache, go call the court doctor. What's the point of looking for me?"

Cuizhu was unwilling to do so. She had no place in the palace serving a woman with a disfigured face all day. That woman was just relying on her pregnancy. However, her appearance was completely ruined, and it was impossible for her to win the favor of the King of Yan. Even if she gave birth to a child, she would still be a lowly slave.

But she didn't dare to really offend Yu Chenxiang. After all, she had something in her mind that King Yan cared about.

Thinking of this, Cuizhu said, "Your Highness, Miss Chenxiang has always said how good Princess Rong'an was to her when she was serving her. Your Highness is the Princess's senior brother, so I think he will not sit idly by and ignore her."

It must be said that if Chenxiang's face had not been disfigured, with her cleverness, she might really have been able to fight for a position in the Prince of Yan's mansion. She knew what Qi Zeyi cared about the most, and every word she said could touch Qi Zeyi's heart.

When Jiang Muyun heard this, hatred flashed in his eyes. Bai Zhiyuan's maid was just like Bai Zhiyuan, born to cause trouble for her.

But she still pretended to be pregnant and said, "In that case, Your Majesty, why don't we go and see Sister Chenxiang together?"

After hearing Cuizhu's words, Qi Zeyi no longer objected and moved towards the yard where Chenxiang was with Jiang Muyun.

On the other hand, Chenxiang is naturally not a pushover either. She knows that she is still alive thanks to the baby in her belly. Once she gives birth to the baby, death will be waiting for her.

After the last time, she had seen the true colors of King Yan and Jiang Muyun. So in addition to taking care of her pregnancy, she had been secretly looking for evidence against Jiang Muyun. This time, she wanted to take her fate into her own hands.

After such a long time, she finally found something to hold against Jiang Muyun, which was that her face had been disfigured just like hers. The King of Yan must not know this yet, so as long as she drove Jiang Muyun away and gave birth to a child, the King of Yan would not kill her, and she could at least save her own life.

Chenxiang thought about it for a long time, and bribed the servants of the palace to follow Jiang Muyun, and finally found the quack doctor who had always been good to Jiang Muyun.

Now it depends on how she exposes this hypocritical woman.

Chenxiang took advantage of her pregnancy and ordered Cuizhu to invite Qi Zeyi. She also thought that Qi Zeyi would not come, so she taught Cuizhu to say those words. Chenxiang did not stay in the Prince of Yan's mansion for a long time, but with her keen observation, she found that the Prince of Yan seemed to still be obsessed with her daughter.

As long as Princess Rong'an is mentioned, Prince Yan will definitely come in person, and then she will find a way to expose Jiang Muyun's true face.
