Chenxiang had already dressed up and was waiting for Qi Zeyi's arrival.

She knew that her appearance was ruined, so it was impossible for her to be favored by the King of Yan. Today, she dressed herself up to look pale and sick, intending to make the King of Yan suspicious that Aunt Jiang did not take good care of her.

Sometimes people are more willing to believe what they see than what they hear.

Chenxiang sneered in her heart, she touched the scar on her face, originally with her wisdom and beauty, she would have been able to gain a foothold in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but she didn't expect that everything would be ruined by Jiang Muyun and the Prince of Yan. She would never let them go.

She touched her belly again. The child inside was about to be born. It was this child who saved her life. The royal family really cares about offspring, Chenxiang thought silently. She must give birth to the child well. If the King of Yan eventually ascends the throne, then her son will at least be a prince.

Prince Qi Zeyi of Yan had no idea what kind of person he had provoked into his mansion. But when Bai Zhiyuan saw Chenxiang that day, he brought her back to his mansion and allowed her to come to Prince Yan's mansion. He probably knew that Chenxiang was not an easy person to deal with. With her around, Prince Yan's mansion would never have a peaceful day.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Chenxiang hurriedly lay back on the bed. It was not until Qi Zeyi and Jiang Muyun came in that Chenxiang pretended to see them and was about to get up. Qi Zeyi held her down and said, "You are pregnant, so you don't have to go through these formalities."

Chenxiang's face was pale. Qi Zeyi looked at him and felt a little bit of pity in his heart: "Since you are not feeling well, just ask someone to call the court doctor. If the court doctor can't help, you can ask someone to find the imperial physician."

Chen Xiang shook her head weakly and said, "I am fine. It's just that I am pregnant and I have a stomachache occasionally."

"It's all Chenxiang's fault that the prince came all the way to see me." Chenxiang said softly, "And sister, it's really my fault for delaying your rest."

Jiang Muyun, who was standing behind Qi Zeyi, was about to twist the handkerchief in her hand into pieces. She stared at Chenxiang's bulging belly, with a look in her eyes that she didn't know whether it was envy or jealousy.

Qi Zeyi suddenly felt that Chenxiang was quite sensible. Compared with the idiot Jiang Muyun, he had some advantages. It was a pity that his face was ruined and he was a useless person.

If Bai Zhiyuan were here, she would definitely applaud Chenxiang. She finally understood why Chenxiang had gone from being a little maid to being the favorite concubine of King Yan in her previous life. It must be said that Qi Zeyi liked such a gentle and sensible woman, whether in the previous life or in this life.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?" Chenxiang glanced at Jiang Muyun and said lightly.

Jiang Muyun was startled and quickly looked away, but she didn't expect that Qi Zeyi still saw the anger in her eyes.

Qi Zeyi looked around the room where Chenxiang was. It was clean, but a little remote, and Chenxiang was getting thinner. He had previously asked Jiang Muyun to take good care of Chenxiang. He had always disdained jealousy among women, but Jiang Muyun was so bold. She took care of Chenxiang on the surface, but who knew how she deducted money from her in private. It would be fine on normal days, but Chenxiang was about to give birth. If something went wrong, wouldn't it hurt his child?

Thinking of this, Qi Zeyi said coldly: "How do you take care of Chenxiang? Why does she look listless?"

Jiang Muyun groaned in her heart. She was not like this when she came to see Chenxiang on weekdays. She was always so arrogant. This bitch must have known that the King of Yan was here today, so she pretended to be weak.

Jiang Muyun hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, since you gave me the order, I have taken care of Miss Chenxiang according to the best standards. But she seems to be weak and can't be healed."

"Can't you take care of it?" Qi Zeyi asked coldly, "Then why didn't you report it to me before?"

Jiang Muyun was stunned. It was not that she had not reported it, but King Yan himself did not care much about it. He just said that adults were not important, what mattered was that the child was well.

Jiang Muyun didn't know that once the seeds of Qi Zeyi's suspicion were planted, they would not be so easy to eliminate.

Chenxiang was pleased to see that she had aroused Qi Zeyi's suspicion with just a few words. But in front of Qi Zeyi, she pretended to be weak and said, "My Lord, don't blame me, it's just that Chenxiang is too weak."

"When I was at General Weiyuan's mansion, Princess Rong'an knew that I was weak, so she exempted me from night watch. Now that I think about it, I miss the Princess very much, and I wonder if she is doing well."

Sure enough, after Chenxiang mentioned Bai Zhiyuan, Qi Zeyi's eyes were filled with anger, and he said coldly to Jiang Muyun: "It's almost winter, and Chenxiang's house is so cold, how do you do things? Since you know she is weak, why don't you go to the warehouse to get some more supplements."

Chen Xiang pretended to be terrified and said, "I dare not. My Lord, I am of low status and dare not ask Madam Jiang to serve me."

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Zeyi said, "Since you mentioned Princess Rong'an, the Princess and Aunt Jiang are from the same school and were close friends, so naturally they should take better care of you."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Jiang." Chenxiang stroked her bulging belly with her hand while speaking.

Jiang Muyun tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face. He said, "It's not hard. My sister is pregnant with the prince's child, so I will naturally treat the child as my own."

Qi Ze had almost finished his criticism, so he made an excuse to leave.

At this time, a servant came in and said, "Your Highness, there is a quack doctor outside the palace. He said that Aunt Jiang asked her to take Miss Chenxiang's pulse."

Before Jiang Muyun could react, Chenxiang spoke up, "Really? Let someone in quickly. I heard from my sister that the doctor she knows is very skilled in medicine, even better than the imperial doctors in the palace."

Jiang Muyun was stunned. When did she say that? She suddenly realized what was going on and her face changed drastically. She was about to refuse when she heard Qi Zeyi say, "Oh? If that's the case, please let him in."

Jiang Muyun felt the blood in her body solidify. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She turned her head sharply to look at Chenxiang, and saw a hint of mockery on his face. She was startled and tried to distance herself from the doctor, but the servant had already brought the doctor in.

That's right, this doctor is the quack doctor who treated Jiang Muyun's face. When Jiang Muyun's mother was still alive, she was the one who treated him. Since Jiang Muyun's mother was executed, Jiang Muyun had no choice but to go find this doctor himself.

Fortunately, the doctor's medical skills were really superb, and the human skin mask he made for her was as thin as a cicada's wing, so no one had noticed it for such a long time.

So how did Chenxiang know?

Jiang Muyun subconsciously looked at Pei'er, and Pei'er was shocked, it really wasn't her. But she had already seen the murderous intent flashing in Jiang Muyun's eyes.

When the quack doctor came in, he was also stunned when he saw Jiang Muyun. Although he had been treating Jiang Muyun, Jiang Muyun was very careful and gave him a lot of money every time. However, when she brought him to the mansion, she always blindfolded him. Therefore, he didn't know who she was treating.

This morning, someone put a silver coin in his house and wrote in the letter: Aunt Jiang of the Prince of Yan's Mansion asked her to come and treat the girls in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Since he had taken the silver, he happily accepted the invitation.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the girl whose face he had been treating. The doctor had been in the world for many years and was keenly aware that they should not let anyone know that they knew each other at this time.

The doctor quickly looked away and saluted King Yan.

But what the doctor didn't know was that Qi Zeyi was always good at observation. As soon as the doctor entered the room, he noticed that the doctor's eyes repeatedly glanced at Jiang Muyun, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He and Jiang Muyun had known each other for many years. It stands to reason that Jiang Muyun would recommend such a skilled doctor to him, but he didn't, and the two looked like they didn't know each other.

Qi Zeyi became suspicious and looked at the two of them calmly.

The doctor examined Chenxiang's pulse and said, "The lady is fine and the baby in her belly is doing well. Your Highness, don't worry."

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor, and thank you, sister. Your Majesty, the doctor that sister found is indeed worthy of his reputation. After listening to the doctor's words, I feel a lot more relieved."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zeyi stared at Jiang Muyun and asked, "When did you get to know such a master?"

Jiang Muyun was startled and stammered, "I...I...don't know him."

"Oh?" Qi Ze asked suspiciously, "If you don't know him, why do you say you found him?"

Jiang Muyun didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She made up her mind that as long as she refused to admit it, King Yan would not be able to do anything to her. She said, "I don't know."

Qi Zeyi turned his head to look at the doctor. The doctor was indeed a man who had been traveling around the world for many years. He said with a glance, "Your Majesty, when I travel around the world, I often encounter people who want me to treat them, but they don't want others to know, so they often invite me under a false name."

"I really don't know Aunt Jiang. Perhaps someone is using Aunt Jiang's name to treat this lady."

Chenxiang sneered in her heart. She had underestimated this quack doctor. With just a few words, she extinguished Qi Zeyi's doubts.

Jiang Muyun heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She said, "That's right. Your Majesty, if I really had such a great doctor, I would definitely recommend him to you."

Qi Ze thought for a moment and thought Jiang Muyun would not dare to lie to him, but he always felt something was weird in his heart, so he remained calm and pretended to believe what they said.

After the doctor left, Qi Zeyi comforted Chenxiang with a few more words. Chenxiang was still immersed in the regret of not letting Qi Zeyi discover Jiang Muyun's true face, so he said a few perfunctory words.

Qi Zeyi left in a hurry. On the way, he said to Bai Yu, "Send someone to keep an eye on the doctor and Aunt Jiang. I feel like they don't know each other as they said."

Bai Yu was shocked, but did not dare to ask any questions, so he just obeyed the order and left.

Qi Zeyi thought for a moment. No matter what it was, he hated betrayal the most. If Jiang Muyun had the intention of betraying him, don't blame him for ignoring the affection he showed to Zhongnanshan that day.
