Jiang Qingchen took a deep breath and knocked on the heavy palace door again. The door opened leisurely, and the servant greeted him humbly, "Doctor Jiang, your room is ready. Please come with me."

Jiang Qingchen smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you." She stepped into the palace and saw a wide courtyard with winding corridors and towering ancient trees.

She observed her surroundings calmly, following the lead of the servants through the winding corridors and courtyards. Along the way, she keenly observed the layout and structure of the palace, seeming to be looking for something.

The last time she came, she didn't dare to take a closer look. This time, she was a guest of the Eight Sage Prince's Mansion and could look around openly.

After a long time, the servant stopped, pointed to a simple side room and said, "Doctor Jiang, this is the room prepared for you."

Jiang Qingchen frowned slightly. This wing was obviously the residence of a low-class servant, which was far from what she had originally expected. Doubts arose in her mind. Could it be that the people below dared to disobey the Eight Wise Kings' orders?

Or was he deliberately trying to give her, the new entrant into the house, a show of strength?

She knew very well that she couldn't show any emotions at this time, so she looked around the room calmly, "This...is my residence?"

The servant replied expressionlessly, "Yes." He was about to retreat, but Jiang Qingchen grabbed his sleeve. He was stunned and instinctively startled. As soon as this man entered the house, he You are too brave to dare to do this, "Doctor Jiang, let go."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Qingchen's voice was cold and firm, and she gently let go of her hand. Her eyes shot at him like a cold arrow. The servant shivered involuntarily and looked at her uneasily, "I am only responsible for bringing you here. I don't know about other things. We will do whatever the housekeeper orders."

Jiang Qingchen stared at him coldly, "When I came in the morning, I clearly heard that the Eighth Sage King asked the housekeeper to prepare me for sex. Do you want to resist the order?" There was an unquestionable tone in her tone. majesty.

The servant suddenly turned pale. He didn't expect that this woman was too courageous. She dared to question the servant as soon as she entered the palace. His heart beat wildly, "Doctor Jiang, this... this is the butler's order... How dare I, a lowly servant, disobey orders?"

"The housekeeper dares to disobey the queen's orders." Jiang Qingchen interrupted him coldly. There was a determined light in her eyes, which seemed to indicate that an inevitable storm was coming.

She couldn't help but have a doubt in her heart. Could it be that this servant was deliberately making things difficult for her? She frowned and grabbed his sleeve again, and grabbed the young man's sleeve harder, "Tell me, do you listen to the Queen or the housekeeper in this palace?"

The servant was startled by Jiang Qingchen's actions. He raised his head and saw Jiang Qingchen's cold face, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He hesitated and said, "Doctor Jiang, how dare I lie? It's really the butler's arrangement. Internal affairs like this in the house are all decided by the butler."

Jiang Qingchen let go of his hand, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and tried to calm himself down.

Jiang Qingchen also calmed down and asked calmly, "Let me ask you, why didn't the housekeeper arrange for me to have sex as instructed by the Eight Wise Kings?"

The young man lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Doctor Jiang, how dare I inquire about the housekeeper's thoughts? The servants in the house all obey the housekeeper. The queen does not care about these things. Since the three princesses died in the battlefield, the Eight Wise Kings I don’t care about the internal affairs of the house.”

"A housekeeper actually dares not to listen to his master?" Jiang Qingchen couldn't help but wonder. According to the status and power of the Eight Wise Kings, how could any servant dare to do this?

The young man seemed a little scared. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Doctor Jiang, it's not that I won't arrange a room for you, but the rooms are all occupied by the housekeeper and the others."

"Why did the housekeeper occupy the upper room?" Jiang Qingchen's heart tightened. She knew that the housekeeper was not a good person. She tried her best to stay calm and continued to ask, "Why do they want to occupy the upper room?"

The young man seemed a little embarrassed to say, "This, this, I dare not say, they said... they said that Dr. Jiang is a low-grade medical woman and does not deserve to live in a house."

Jiang Qingchen's heart sank suddenly. She knew that this was definitely not a misunderstanding or accident. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "I understand, you go down first."

She didn't know whether it was the queen's intention to let herself live in a lower-class room, or whether it was really the housekeeper's intention. If it was the housekeeper's intention, it would be easy to handle. If it was really the Eighth Sage King's intention, it meant that the Eighth Sage King was not ready yet. Trust her.

Naturally, she could only make do with it here. Even if it was a lower-class room, it was still a lower-class room of the Wangfu family, much better than the woodshed of Shang Yuxiang's family.

The servant nodded, turned and left the wing. Jiang Qingchen looked at his leaving figure and immediately stopped him, "I see that your complexion is dark, and you seem to have abdominal distension. I don't know if that's right."

A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and then dimmed quickly, "Yes, it's been a month or two. I don't know if there is something wrong with my body, and I still have some swelling and pain."

This servant probably didn't have any heavy physical work, it was all light work, and he didn't eat well, and he had stones and indigestion. Jiang Qingchen smiled and said, "Drink more water, and I'll give you a prescription. Find time to grab some side medicine and you'll be fine, don't worry."

When the young man heard this, he was extremely happy. He immediately found paper and pen for Jiang Qingchen and left with the prescription in a moment.

Jiang Qingchen lay on the simple bed, feeling a little heavy in his heart. My situation is not good. If I can't gain the Queen's trust, everything will be in vain.

While she was thinking, a boy brought the meal, "Doctor Jiang, this is your meal."

Jiang Qingchen nodded, "Thank you." She opened the food box and found that there were only some simple meals in it. The treatment of the palace doctor must be too poor.

She couldn't help but wonder, was this what the housekeepers meant? Let her, a low-class medical woman, suffer a little? She sneered and decided to fill her stomach first. As long as the food was fresh, she didn't care about it anymore. She wanted to survive in the palace first. While eating, she asked, "Are all the guests here treated like this?"

The boy didn't reply to her words, and said to himself, "Awen asked me to deliver it just now. He said that it was your first day here and you were not familiar with it. From now on, you need to go to the servant's kitchen to eat by yourself."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew without caring about the reaction.

Awen? He was probably the young man who led her into the house. I treated him, and it was indeed not in vain. But she found that the people here were a little cold and distant towards her, as if they were deliberately avoiding something?
