After Jiang Muyun returned to the yard, he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground, "Bitch, you dare to slander me in front of the prince!"

She was so angry that Pei'er frowned but still walked over carefully, smiling and saying, "Aunt, calm down. Why are you angry with such an unknown person? It's not necessary at all!"

Pei'er quickly cleaned up the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground, and then came over to comfort Jiang Muyun in a low voice, "Auntie, have you forgotten what I told you before? No matter how proud Chenxiang is, he is still a nameless person. How can he be compared with someone like you who has real feelings for the prince?"

Jiang Muyun sighed, "Of course I remember all this, but when I saw her smug face, I couldn't help but want to tear her face apart."

"However, now is not the time to deal with her. Why is it so strange today? Who called the doctor here?" Jiang Muyun pondered and cast a suspicious look at Pei'er again.

It's no wonder that she doubts Pearl. No one else in the world knows her secret except Pearl.

Pei'er was startled and knelt down hurriedly, saying, "Aunt, it's not me. Pei'er doesn't know. Maybe it's really a coincidence."

Jiang Muyun was still a little worried. She looked at Pei'er and still couldn't be sure.

She helped Pei'er up and said, "Pei'er, since the Jiang family was exterminated, you are the only one who has been with me. You won't betray me, right?"

Pei Er hurriedly expressed her loyalty, "I swear, it's really not me. I didn't betray you. If you don't believe me..."

"Okay." Jiang Muyun interrupted, "I believe you."

Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him quickly.

Jiang Muyun asked her to go down first. She sat alone in the room and thought. It was not that she completely believed in Pei'er, but she had no one to use at the moment. The Jiang family was destroyed, and the people from the past died or left. Even the people left by her father were injured or killed by Bai Zhiyuan last time, and the remaining few were useless.

So at this time, she could only keep the same in the face of change. But she couldn't hire the doctor recently, and she didn't know how long her face could last.

Jiang Muyun felt more and more upset. Everything that happened today was caused by Bai Zhiyuan. If she had not refused to save her, how could she have ruined her face? Now even her maid was riding on her head. How could she not hate her?

Everything that happened in the Prince of Yan's Mansion was seen by someone. This person was none other than the person that Bai Zhiyuan had planted in the Prince of Yan's Mansion before, and he had been ordered to secretly monitor every move of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

The man immediately passed on today's news. Wang Qing got the news, returned to Bai Mansion, found Ling Xiao and said, "I haven't received the young lady's letter yet, but now there is more shocking news, I must write another letter to the young lady immediately."

He also told Ling Xiao what happened in Prince Yan's Mansion today.

Before the young lady left, she told him to keep a close eye on the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Now that something has happened in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the young lady has to make the decision.

Ling Xiao said, "Miss wrote back earlier, saying that writing letters this way is too slow, and asked that the letters be sent to General Yunhui's Mansion. The people in the General's Mansion will send the letters to the northern border by carrier pigeon. This way, Miss will receive the letter quickly and won't be delayed."

Wang Qing nodded and said, "That's great. Then I'll have to trouble Sister Ling Xiao to write a letter to Miss."

Ling Xiao said, "Don't worry. When I finish writing, you can personally deliver it to Xie's residence and tell them to send it to the northern border."

Wang Qing nodded. Ling Xiao began to write down everything that happened in the Prince of Yan's Mansion today, and also wrote down all of Jiang Muyun's secrets in the letter.

I wonder how the young lady will make arrangements now that she is far away in the North.

After Ling Xiao finished writing, he sealed it carefully and asked Wang Qing to deliver it to Xie's house.

In the following days, Jiang Muyun felt uneasy. She could feel a stinging pain on her face, but she didn't dare to take off the mask without permission. She was the concubine of the King of Yan, and she was afraid that the King of Yan would come to her courtyard at night on a whim, so she didn't dare to take off the human skin mask even when she went to bed at night.

The wound had been covered up for a long time and had not healed. She did not dare to ask the doctor to change the dressing or make a new mask for several days. She felt that her wound was becoming more and more festering and even emitting a faint foul odor. If it continued like this, it would be discovered sooner or later.

Jiang Muyun thought about it and decided to let Pei'er go and bring the doctor over. If they were careful, they could avoid being seen.

Pei'er said, "Aunt, the prince clearly became suspicious of the doctor that day. Do you want to wait a little longer?"

Jiang Muyun's face darkened, "Why? Do I need to discuss this with you before I do anything?"

Pei'er took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said, "I dare not, I will go and find it right away. Please rest assured, Auntie."

Looking at Pei'er kneeling on the ground, Jiang Muyun sighed, helped Pei'er up and said, "Pei'er, you are the person I trust the most. I'm just a little irritable recently. Don't mind it."

Pei'er hurriedly said she didn't dare.

Jiang Muyun nodded and said, "Go ahead. Be careful and don't let anyone find out."

"Yes, I will be careful." Pei'er said.

After Pei'er left, Jiang Muyun sighed heavily, and for some reason the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

She kept walking back and forth in the room until it was dark, but there was still no sign of Pearl.

Just when she was getting anxious, a servant from Prince Yan's Mansion said outside the door: "Madam Jiang, the prince wants you to come over."

Jiang Muyun's heart skipped a beat, and she asked hurriedly, "Did the prince say why?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Muyun calmed himself down and followed the servants to the side hall where Qi Zeyi was.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Pei'er and the quack doctor kneeling down. Jiang Muyun almost lost her balance. She suppressed her fear and said, "My Lord, what do you want from me?"

Qi Zeyi said angrily, "I didn't know you were so bold and reckless. You actually cheated on me. Is it because my Yanwang Mansion can't tolerate you?"

"What?" Jiang Muyun didn't react for a moment.

Qi Zeyi raised his hand and slapped Jiang Muyun on the face. Jiang Muyun's face was already injured, and it felt even hotter at this moment.

She knelt down on the ground, hugged Qi Zeyi's legs and said, "My Lord, I don't know what you are talking about. I only love you, my Lord. I don't like ordinary men."

Qi Zeyi sneered and said, "Okay, then explain to me why you sent your maid to secretly bring this doctor into the mansion in the middle of the night."

Jiang Muyun was speechless for a moment. She couldn't admit that her face was disfigured.

Seeing this, she said with determination: "I don't know, Your Majesty, please believe me."

Pei'er stared at her in disbelief. The doctor's face was livid as he was beaten by the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion. He had just wanted to make some money, but instead of making any money, he was regarded as an adulterer. What's more, the man was the current Prince Yan.

Thinking of this, the doctor also stood up and said loudly: "My lady, you can't just deny this. I come to your house twice a month to treat you. How can you lie and say you don't know me? Your maid can testify for me..."

Jiang Muyun instinctively wanted to go up and cover his mouth, and she did so. After all, Jiang Muyun had learned martial arts, and the doctor was injured. Jiang Muyun was stronger, and she covered the doctor's mouth so that the doctor could not breathe.

The doctor was both angry and frightened, "Your Majesty, Aunt Jiang might want to kill me and stop me from telling the truth."

Qi Zeyi's eyes swept across Jiang Muyun like a knife. Jiang Muyun's body shrank suddenly. She knew that her secret could not be kept today.

The doctor said, "Your Highness, I am not an adulterer. This concubine was injured on her face, and she gave me a lot of money every month to treat her and make a human skin mask for her. I had always been blindfolded when I entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion before, and it was only when I saw Concubine Jiang that day that I realized this was the Prince of Yan's Mansion. I beg Your Highness the Prince of Yan to be clear..."

Prince Yan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Muyun. Jiang Muyun had already fallen to the ground when he heard the doctor's words.

Qi Zeyi walked towards Jiang Muyun in disbelief, lifted her chin with his hand, rubbed her face carefully, and indeed found traces of the mask. He tore off the human skin mask.

Jiang Muyun screamed "Ah!" and she no longer looked as dignified as usual. There was a hideous wound on her face, which was still oozing blood and pus.

Qi Zeyi frowned, "When you fell off the carriage earlier, you said your wound had healed a long time ago, but you were actually lying to me?"

Jiang Muyun covered her face and was speechless for a long time. She knew that she was finished. Not only was she pregnant with Qi Zeyi's child, she had also lost Qi Zeyi's favor.

She knelt down on the ground and cried, "My Lord, a woman dresses to please herself. I have no choice but to do this. If I don't do this, I'm afraid you will abandon me. I have nothing but you. In the past, on Mount Zhongnan, you said that no matter what I become, you will love me."

Qi Zeyi's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak for a while. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Forget it, let this doctor stay and continue to treat your wounds from now on."

Jiang Muyun was delighted, "Your Majesty..."

"This prince has other things to deal with, you all go down."

Jiang Muyun wanted to say something but didn't dare to open her mouth. She was not sure about King Yan's intention. For now, she could only go back and make plans.

She nodded softly and said, "My Lord, you are busy now. Take care of yourself. I will leave first."

Qi Zeyi didn't look at her again.

After Jiang Muyun left, Qi Zeyi walked into his study and looked at Bai Zhiyuan's portrait again. He murmured, "Ayuan, how great it would be if the person I married was you..."
