Qi Mu's words were so sincere that it would be wrong for Feng Guang not to show any emotion. Just then, a gust of wind blew in, and she hugged her arms and shivered.
Qi Mu walked over and closed the window, then turned around and said, "The temperature on the mountain is lower than outside. Miss Xia, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. You've worried too much, Your Highness."
"Miss Xia, you should get some rest."
Without saying anything more, Feng Guang walked towards the bedside, but accidentally bumped into a chair on the floor.
Qi Mu placed his hand beside the candlestick on the table and suddenly asked, "Miss Xia, is the candlelight still bright enough? Would you like it made a little brighter?"
"No need, it's fine as it is."
Qi Mu withdrew his hand and remained silent, a moment of quiet ensued.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Feng Guang, who had just reached the bedside, stopped. "Young Master?"
"You already knew."
This seemingly random sentence left Feng Guang speechless for a long time. She instinctively clutched the hem of her skirt, her voice trembling with nervousness, "Young Master, I didn't mean to..."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not questioning you." Qi Mu's voice was very calm, so calm that it was surprising.
In this situation, it would be abnormal if everything remained normal.
Feng Guang let out a breath, mustered his courage, and then said, "That's right, I knew it all along."
"Since you know, why don't you say it?"
Why should I say it?
Her question made him pause for a second, "Miss Xia..."
"Even knowing that, I have never felt that there is anything wrong between the Crown Prince and others. The Crown Prince can talk and laugh, and he can also appreciate flowers and scenery, can't he?"
"Heh." He chuckled softly. "But I am still blind."
"Your Highness..." She walked over, but accidentally bumped into the table again, letting out a muffled groan of pain, and clutched her waist for a long time before recovering.
"Miss Xia, are you alright?" Although his words were filled with concern, there was no trace of worry in his voice.
She shook her head. "In the darkness, I'm more like a blind person than the Crown Prince."
The candlelight in the room had long been extinguished by the gust of wind. It was raining and there was no moonlight tonight, so it was truly pitch black. Qi Mu was not sensitive to light, but when he put his hand next to the candlelight and did not feel any heat, he knew that the candlelight had gone out.
"As early as the day of the spring outing, Miss knew that I was blind."
"Um……"
"That's why Miss reminded the maid that there was a puddle of sewage on the road ahead." Coincidentally, he was wearing white shoes that day.
Feng Guang couldn't see his expression or know what his mindset was, so he could only nod and say "hmm," and simply admit everything.
"There's something else I don't understand. I was the one driving today. It's too dangerous for someone who knows the road conditions so well to drive. Doesn't Miss have any suspicions?"
"The person driving the carriage... isn't actually the Crown Prince, is he?"
"oh?"
"The Crown Prince is sitting outside; someone else is driving the carriage."
He asked with great interest, "How do you know?"
“My nose is very sensitive. Everyone has a unique scent. Although I was in the car the whole time, I smelled two scents when I opened the window.”
"Interesting." Qi Mu approached, and said with a hint of ulterior motive, "Miss, why don't you tell me what scent I have on me?"
Feng Guang heard his voice coming from above her head, which showed how close they were. Her face flushed, and she answered without thinking, "It's probably... the kind of smell that makes your heart race."
