Jiang Muyun left Qi Zeyi's study in a daze. She walked towards her own yard, but unexpectedly met Chenxiang, who was pregnant, on the way.

Chen Xiang looked arrogant and said to Jiang Muyun, "Isn't this Aunt Jiang? Why did you come out of the prince's study like this?"

Jiang Muyun ignored her, walked around her and was about to leave.

Chen Xiang said mockingly, "Why? Aunt Jiang still thinks she is the only woman of the high and mighty Prince Yan?"

"Oh, I forgot. Aunt Jiang is now like me, just a woman with a disfigured face. How can a woman with a disfigured face be favored in this mansion?"

"Let me guess, Auntie must have been kicked out by the prince, right? Although you and I are the same, but I am about to give birth to the prince's first child."

Jiang Muyun sneered, "What do you think will happen if you give birth to a child? How can the King of Yan tolerate him having a woman of low birth and a ruined appearance?"

Chen Xiang was shocked, but pretended to be indifferent and said, "It's been almost a year since Madam Jiang came to the palace. How come there's no sign of pregnancy?"

Chen Xiang's words touched Jiang Muyun's sore spot. She said angrily, "I am the prince's concubine after all. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you mock me here?"

Chen Xiang sneered. She came here specially to upset Jiang Muyun today. Seeing that her purpose had been achieved, she said, "Yes, sister. My belly is big and I feel dizzy after standing for a while. So I will go back first."

Jiang Muyun's face darkened. Looking at Chenxiang's heavy body, he stretched out his hand and pushed him hard.

Chen Xiang didn't expect Jiang Muyun to be so bold, so she was naturally not prepared at all. Jiang Muyun pushed her with all his strength, and Chen Xiang fell to the ground. She protected her stomach tightly and screamed, "Someone, save me!"

Jiang Muyun was also frightened. She had just heard Qi Zeyi asking her to be Bai Zhiyuan's substitute in Qi Zeyi's study, and then she was provoked by Chenxiang when she came out. She was so confused that she acted like this.

When she saw Chenxiang's body covered in blood, she was frightened for a moment and ran all the way back to her yard. She closed the door tightly, then slid down to the ground and started crying in fear.

Jiang Muyun didn't know why her life had become like this. She was once the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Bai Zhiyuan's best friend, and the junior sister of the King of Yan. They studied martial arts together in Zhongnan Mountain. She had been deeply in love with the King of Yan for a long time, but the King of Yan had been engaged to Bai Zhiyuan since childhood. She was unwilling, but she didn't dare to compete with Bai Zhiyuan.

But what she didn't expect was that Qi Zeyi found her one day and told her that he didn't like Bai Zhiyuan at all and that he had always liked her.

Jiang Muyun was overjoyed. She thought to herself: This is not her fault. After all, it was the King of Yan who didn't like Bai Zhiyuan. Since then, she often met with the King of Yan behind Bai Zhiyuan's back.

It was Qi Zeyi who first said he liked her, so why did everything change after Bai Zhiyuan broke off the engagement with him? Qi Zeyi was no longer affectionate towards her, but instead was obsessed with Bai Zhiyuan. Why was that?

Jiang Muyun didn't know that people in this world are all the same. They don't cherish something once they get it, and only regret it once they lose it.

Qi Zeyi was like this towards Bai Zhiyuan. He did not cherish her when he had her. When he realized that things were beyond his control and Bai Zhiyuan resolutely broke off the engagement with him in front of the emperor, he was unwilling to give in and could not stop thinking about her.

Jiang Muyun cried for a long time, then called Pei'er and asked, "How is Chenxiang? Is the child saved?"

Pei'er said, "Aunt, Chenxiang is in labor. She hasn't given birth yet, but the midwife came just now and said there are signs of premature birth."

Jiang Muyun asked again: "What about the prince? Will he kill me? Pei'er, I'm so scared."

Pei Er comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. How could the prince hurt your relationship because of a maid?"

Jiang Muyun smiled bitterly. If it were in the past, she would not worry about what Qi Zeyi would do to her because of a maid. But now is different. She is increasingly unable to understand Qi Zeyi's heart.

Pei Er said again: "Aunt, don't be afraid. The prince already knows that it was you who pushed Chenxiang, and he didn't come to question you. I think he must be thinking of the old friendship."

Jiang Muyun changed his mind and thought that Qi Zeyi must have wanted to use him as a substitute for Bai Zhiyuan, so he spared him.

For her, should she be happy or sad? Jiang Muyun felt boundless bitterness in her heart.

On the other side, Chenxiang screamed in pain because of giving birth, "Where's the prince? I want to see the prince!"

The servant came to report to Qi Zeyi, but Qi Zeyi remained unmoved, and kept drawing pictures in his hands. He said calmly: "Since it is a birth, it is useless for me to go. Just find a few more midwives and doctors to wait. Remember! You must ensure that the child is born smoothly."

When the servant heard this, he knew that King Yan didn't care about Chenxiang at all, so he took the order and left.

Although Qi Zeyi wanted this child, it was only because he was the heir of the royal family. As for Chenxiang, she was just Bai Zhiyuan's maid. If she was lucky enough to survive today, it would be fine. If she didn't survive, she could only blame her short life.

Chenxiang waited and waited but Qi Zeyi never showed up. She wanted to sue Jiang Muyun in front of King Yan, but she didn't even have the chance to see King Yan. Chenxiang suddenly felt a little regretful and went to provoke Jiang Muyun today.

Right now, she’s having a difficult labor and doesn’t know if she can make it.

Chenxiang felt as if her whole body was crushed by someone. It was just pain. The midwife didn't seem to have any sympathy for her and just kept asking her to push hard and give birth as soon as possible.

Chenxiang suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had not been greedy at that time and plotted against Prince Yan and came to Prince Yan's Mansion, then her face would not have been ruined. She was the maid of the eldest lady in the Bai Mansion and had a high status, so she could always find a good family.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Now that things have come to this, Chenxiang can only try her best to give birth to Prince Yan's child. She hopes that Prince Yan will give her a life of wealth and glory for the sake of the child.

Thinking of this, Chenxiang stopped having wild thoughts and screaming. She tried desperately. Finally, when she felt that she had used up all her strength, she heard a baby cry, and the child was finally born.

There was a knock on Qi Zeyi's study door.

"Enter!"

Bai Yu knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Miss Chenxiang has given birth to a boy."

Qi Zeyi smiled and said, "Give the child to Aunt Jiang and ask her to take good care of him. If anything goes wrong, she knows what I can do."

Bai Yu took the order and left.

Chenxiang lay weakly on the bed. Before he could even look at his child, he heard the servant say, "The prince has ordered that the child be sent to Concubine Jiang's courtyard to be raised by Concubine Jiang."

Chenxiang's heart was filled with hatred, but due to her low status, she was powerless and could only watch her child being taken away.

Jiang Muyun didn't look very happy when she heard the news. She said calmly, "Find a few more wet nurses to take good care of the child. Just make sure he doesn't starve to death."

Because the child is the King of Yan's child, Jiang Muyun will not treat the child harshly, but she naturally cannot get close to Chenxiang's child.
