The tone of his voice was drawn out, and Shen Ningzhu's eyelids twitched. She was afraid that he would make trouble and cause more trouble, so she quickly interrupted him.

"Ahem... I am just a humble doctor, not worth mentioning. I am sorry to have made you laugh."

Jiang Yanche was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

She actually - can change her voice?

There are indeed people in the underworld who are good at ventriloquism, and he has watched them perform more than once.

But no one could pronounce the words as naturally as she did, so naturally that there was no flaw at all, and even those close to her might not notice.

It was as if she had that voice.

Oh--

Interesting, it seems that the rumors outside are not credible.

This girl does have some abilities.

Jiang Qingyi frowned beautifully.

"How dare you, this wild girl, deceive this princess?

Prince Chen is a man of such status that even if he is unwell, he has his own doctors from the Imperial Hospital to serve him. Why would he go to such great lengths to find a female doctor like you with unknown backgrounds?"

Chen Ningzhu was not annoyed, but looked at Jiang Qingyi meaningfully.

"So you are the princess? I am blind and ignorant. I really offended you just now."

"But the princess is wrong. If the Imperial Hospital takes over, wouldn't His Highness Prince Chen's secret be compromised?"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Qingyi froze in place.

She...seems to know something extraordinary.

Jiang Yanche's handsome face froze and turned dark in an instant.

This damn woman, she actually hinted to others that he was suffering from a hidden illness? Did she know how serious this matter was?

If a member of the royal family suffers from a hidden illness, in the mildest case, he will lose the right to compete for the crown prince. In the most serious case, he will be secretly executed to save the reputation of the royal family.

Seeing him glaring at her, Shen Ningzhu glared back fiercely. What are you looking at?

Is he only allowed to abduct her and imprison her, and not allow her to fight back and vent her anger?

If she could, she would like to scratch his hypocritical face, and then stab him several times with a white knife.

What the hell.

They will use their power to oppress the weak, bah, they are nothing.

"Don't make such an outrageous joke. Don't forget who you are."

Jiang Yanche said with a forced smile, a hint of warning in his eyes.

He smiled tenderly at Jiang Qingyi again.

"Today is a flower viewing banquet, so it should be lively and festive. And she is the music girl I brought here specially to liven up the atmosphere for everyone."

This man is really vindictive.

She framed him, so he fabricated the identity of Le Ji for her in an attempt to humiliate her.

Who doesn't know that musicians are the lowest class of people in this era?

You bastards, you're hurting each other, right?

It's a pity that this incident really can't hurt Shen Ningzhu.

"Oh? Really?"

Jiang Qingyi smiled as usual, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.

Chen Ningzhu clenched her back teeth, arched her brows and nodded, agreeing with what he said.

This bastard would threaten her with her identity and kindness.

"Your Highness Prince Chen truly loves his people like his own children. I admire you." Shen Ningxue would show off her presence whenever she had the chance, and flatter him.

However, it seems that he is not very good at using words.

Facing Shen Ningxue's warmth, Jiang Yanche pretended not to hear. He gently picked up the white jade wine glass with his fingertips and started drinking.

Jiang Qingyi and Shen Ningxue were bored and could only suppress their displeasure and found an excuse to leave.

After a while, the eunuch's sharp voice shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"

Everyone at the banquet knelt down.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The man came against the light, and the molten golden morning light hit his shoulders, blurring his features but making his tall figure look even taller and straighter.

The footsteps were slow and steady.

After a while, people came out from the morning light.

He paused for a moment and raised his eyelids lazily, showing his unparalleled elegance.

"Get up, I'm just here to join in the fun, please feel free to do as you please, no need to be formal."

Having said that, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aloof by nature and never likes crowds.

Everyone thanked him and slowly stood up.

Chu Wan'er personally walked out of the crowd, bowed shyly to Jiang Xuanyan, and then took him to the highest seat.

After everyone was seated, he arranged for the servants to serve them well and not to neglect them before he left reluctantly.

Chen Ningzhu was disgusted by this scene and twitched the corners of her mouth, rolling her eyes to the sky.

He moved his feet further behind Jiang Yanche, trying to minimize his presence.

Fortunately, the Dog Prince was far away from her and did not look over here, which made her feel a little relieved.

The noble ladies nearby were whispering to each other, "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here today? He never attends banquets like this before."

"Are you stupid? Things are different now. Don't you see whose party it is today?"

The two of them huddled together, winking at each other, knowing full well what was going on. "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truly dotes on Chu Wan'er, even going so far as to change his habits for her."

"Oh my god, isn't this too romantic?"

"Isn't it? Well, I'm lucky. My father is capable, and my mother is the legitimate daughter of a noble family. No matter her status or talent, she is a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Speaking of this, they both thought of Shen Ningzhu at the same time.

"Hey? Tell me, why hasn't the fake daughter of the Shen family made any noise recently? Could she be causing trouble in the Prince's Mansion? Hahahaha——"

"Need I say more? Of course!"

"That nymphomaniac has been shamelessly chasing after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for over three years, completely disgracing our noble lady."

"Now, after all my calculations, I've come up empty-handed. So, I'm just going to find a crooked tree and hang myself on it."

"That's right, if I were her, I wouldn't have the face to live."

Shen Ningzhu's body stiffened.

She was really grateful to them for still thinking of her even at this time!

The two thought that their voices were so soft that no one would hear them, but they didn't know that at this distance, someone with internal strength could easily hear them.

What's more, Jiang Xuanyan's martial arts skills are the best in Jiang Country.

Jiang Xuanyan heard every word they said just now.

Sitting on the high seat, Jiang Xuanyan, who was half-supporting his head with his eyes closed to rest, slowly raised his eyelids. His narrow and long phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, like a knife, which made people feel cold all over.

"Where did this gossip come from? How dare you talk about my people? You're simply asking for trouble. Jiang Yi, go and pull out those two people's tongues for me."

The originally noisy banquet scene suddenly became quiet, and it seemed that one could hear everyone's breathing.

"yes."

Jiang Yi took the order and walked down from the platform.

At this time, Chu Wan'er frowned and walked to the center of the venue as the host and knelt down in front of Jiang Xuanyan.

"Your Highness, calm down."

"These two noble ladies, I think, were just speaking casually, not with any intention. Your Highness has always been compassionate. Why not give Wan'er a little favor and let them go?"
