Zhong Muyu was speechless: "Know each other? Is this how you hide your relationship? That's so insincere."

"It's not that I'm hiding, but rather that you're not yet skilled at controlling your dreams. It's already quite an achievement that you can even see my figure."

"That's still my problem. Okay, now that you know me, you can go, right?"

The mysterious man seemed helpless: "You're such an impatient person. Well, before I leave, let me tell you some information. I came to find you because another person has also noticed you, and she is a traitor to the Spirit Clan. She's very dangerous and will be coming for you soon. Be careful, and if necessary, don't forget to ask that fox mountain god for help."

Zhong Muyu was completely bewildered: "Traitor? Who?"

However, the other party did not answer her and quickly disappeared into the mist.

Zhong Muyu was a little annoyed. This person was so mysterious and never finished speaking. She hated riddle people more than anything else in her life!

However, ever since Chi Xuanzhu saved her, she learned the secret of the Spirit Clan. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she never expected it to be accompanied by danger.

This is troublesome!

At this moment, Zhong Muyu lost all interest in eating, drinking, and having fun. She returned to the pavilion and managed to leave the dream.

When she woke up again, it was already evening.

At a table not far away, Lu Ziyuan was writing furiously. When he saw her wake up, he immediately put down his pen and went over.

"Awake? Are you feeling any better?"

Zhong Muyu sat up: "Hmm, I feel much better."

The fatigue hasn't subsided, but I feel like my fever has gone down.

Lu Ziyuan seemed worried, so he leaned over and pressed his forehead against Zhong Muyu's forehead.

He came closer to try it out for a while, then left: "Hmm, it's definitely not hot anymore, but we can't let our guard down."

Zhong Muyu touched her forehead: "Will this really work?"

“When I was young, my mother used to take my temperature like this, and it was very useful.”

Zhong Muyu smiled and said, "Then your mother is really good to you."

"Your mother was indeed a very gentle person. If she were still alive, you would definitely like her."

Yes, it will.

Zhong Muyu nodded, but inwardly thought: That's not necessarily true.

The relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law has always been difficult, let alone a mother-in-law bound by feudal ethics. Although it was very impolite, she was still glad that she didn't have a mother-in-law!

Lu Ziyuan asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"I'm not very hungry, probably because I'm sick."

"Even if you're not hungry, you still need to eat something. Zaochun and the others have already prepared it for you, just waiting for you to wake up to eat."

After saying that, Lu Ziyuan went to the door to call for people. Soon, several maids came with food.

The dishes were all bland porridge and side dishes, and they didn't look very appealing.

Lu Ziyuan noticed her disappointment: "The doctor said that you can't eat too much oily or salty food while you're sick. Just bear with it for now."

“I knew it, that’s why I’m taking my own medicine, hoping to get better soon.”

Zhong Muyu didn't complain and ate quite a lot.

The familiar taste; my cooking skills are getting better and better this early spring.

And so, Zhong Muyu focused on recuperating, and within a few days, she was completely recovered.

However, due to overwork and illness, Zhong Muyu's period was delayed.

This wasn't a big deal, so she naturally didn't think much of it. But Qiao'er was different; she was extremely excited. Did this prove that the princess was pregnant?

So she couldn't wait to tell Zaochun the news.

Early Spring nodded very seriously: "If that's the case, then it's pretty much true."

"Then we must find a way to get the royal physician to take a look. The princess doesn't pay attention to anything on a daily basis. What if she hurts the little prince in her belly?"

Before the matter was even clear, Qiao'er had already thought about giving birth to a young prince.

"Don't yell yet, let me think of another way."

Qiao'er could hardly contain her excitement. After returning home, she had long forgotten Zaochun's instructions. Although it was just a guess, Zaochun had said it was probably true!

So when Zhong Muyu came to the kitchen again, intending to make some snacks, Qiao'er and the other maids quickly helped her leave.

"Your Highness, you can let us do this small thing. You are not well and need to rest more."

Zhong Muyu was completely confused: "It's all better now. It was all better yesterday. I don't need to rest anymore."

"As a princess, you cannot be careless. You should go and rest. We can make desserts too; Sister Zaochun has taught us!"

"Do you know what kind of dessert I want?"

"Well……"

Qiao'er was speechless for a moment, but fortunately another maid reacted quickly: "Since the princess needs them, we can make one of each kind."

"Um?"

Zhong Muyu looked around at them and saw that each of them was suppressing their excitement and being very careful, as if they were hiding something from her.

"You guys seem a bit strange. Are you hiding something from me?"

Several people shook their heads like rattles. Qiao'er smiled and said, "We have nothing to hide from you. We just care about you. After all, Sister Zaochun is married now, so it's inevitable that she won't be as convenient and careful as before. Therefore, we try our best to share the burden for the Princess."

It was even stranger that these words came from Qiao'er's mouth.

"Wait, did you guys get into trouble?"

"No, no! Absolutely not!"

That reaction is quite genuine.

To prevent Zhong Muyu from asking any more questions, the group kept trying to persuade her until she got annoyed and finally let them be.

Zhong Muyu initially thought they were up to something funny again, but when Lu Ziyuan came for dinner that evening, he also became quite neurotic.

"Yu'er, have you... have you rested well?"

Yes, what's wrong?

Zhong Muyu tidied up the paper patterns drawn on the table without looking up.

"I've noticed you've been sleeping a lot lately, so I was thinking of having the family physician come and take a look."

It's the county physician again. Why are they making her see doctors one after another lately?

Zhong Muyu looked up and saw that Lu Ziyuan was also suppressing his excitement, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Thinking about the strange reactions of Zao Chun and Qiao'er recently, Zhong Muyu couldn't help but ask, "What exactly have you been doing behind my back? Why are you all acting so strangely?"

"What do you mean we did something behind your back? Isn't there some secret you haven't discovered yet?"

Zhong Muyu was startled, thinking that her dream manipulation and spatial abilities had been discovered. She didn't think she had a habit of talking in her sleep, but what if she had?

What did they hear?

Seeing Zhong Muyu's nervous expression, Lu Ziyuan thought he had guessed correctly, so he immediately revealed the truth: "They didn't hear anything, they just speculated based on your recent reactions that you might be pregnant."

So, you should go see the family physician.

"ha???"

Zhong Muyu was so shocked that she jumped up from her chair. So this was the secret they had been whispering about these past few days?

No wonder I've been acting strangely towards her lately.
