Lu Wei helped Mu Yazhi up, and when she looked up, she met Mu Chenshuang's cold, icy eyes. Her arrogant gaze seemed to be mocking them.
She hates it!
Not only did she and Ya'er fail to receive any reward from the emperor, but they also lost face in public.
All of this was Mu Chenshuang's treacherous scheme.
She was determined to make that bitch Mu Chenshuang pay back tenfold for the humiliation she had suffered today.
How could Mu Chenshuang not notice the overwhelming anger in Lu Wei's eyes? She gave a faint, cold smile, as if to say, "This is just the beginning."
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi left the palace in a disheveled state.
The farce is over.
After paying their respects, the concubines left Cining Palace.
Doctor Li gave a few instructions and did not linger. Feng Guche personally saw him off and arranged for palace guards to escort him.
Although Dr. Li is not a true spiritual healer, even if he is just an outsider of the Divine Healer Sect, his medical talent is enough to make people admire him, not to mention his close relationship with the spiritual healer.
Mu Chenshuang took her leave, but Shen Biyun called her back, "Shuang'er, it's rare for you to come to the palace, why don't you accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden!"
Mu Chenshuang could not refuse, so she curtsied and replied, "Yes."
Feng Guche had Fu Junheng accompany him to the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Mu Chenshuang strolled with Shen Biyun in the Imperial Garden. Although it was winter, the Imperial Garden was still full of flowers and showed no signs of the dryness and desolation that winter would bring.
"I feel that Shuang'er has suddenly grown up," the Empress sighed.
Mu Chenshuang replied, "People always have to grow up. It's impossible to be innocent forever. After experiencing certain things, they will have new plans for their lives."
Shen Biyun glanced at Mu Chenshuang and said, "Shuang'er's eyes used to be so bright, but now they've become much more reserved. Growing up is a good thing; she understands human relationships and knows how to protect herself. Now I realize that you haven't been living a happy life in the Marquis's mansion, Shuang'er."
Although she and the Crown Prince were divorced, Shen Biyun did not have much prejudice or say anything against her. She had also heard the Empress defending her outside the door.
But how much of this maintenance is genuine, or is it due to some kind of vested interest?
"It's just that there are too many flies, they like to cause trouble, and they're very noisy."
Upon hearing this, Shen Biyun reminded her, "It's good to be more careful."
"This subject understands."
Shen Biyun lowered her eyes and looked into the distance, then suddenly said, "Nan Zhi will probably return to the capital in the first month of the lunar calendar."
Upon hearing this name, Mu Chenshuang's heart sank.
He rushed back for the sake of the original owner, but unfortunately...
Shen Biyun observed Mu Chenshuang's expression; she was somewhat dejected but showed no sign of expectation, so she ultimately had no feelings for Nan Zhi.
"I heard you've been getting quite close to Crown Prince Junheng lately," the Empress pressed.
Mu Chenshuang calmly explained, "I don't know what rumors have spread this time, but my daughter and Crown Prince Junheng are innocent."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she helped Shen Biyun sit down on the soft stool.
Shen Biyun raised her eyes to look at Mu Chenshuang. Her calm and unwavering eyes revealed little emotion and were difficult to fathom.
"Shuang'er, it's best if you can keep your composure. Just like I reminded you before, there's absolutely no way you and Crown Prince Junheng can be together. You should have less contact with him in the future to avoid gossip and trouble from His Majesty," Shen Biyun advised.
Mu Chenshuang didn't explain further, "This subject understands."
It seems we should be more careful to avoid this in the future.
The emperor must have wanted to discuss this matter with Fu Junheng, and it remains to be seen what he will say to the emperor.
"Since your mother has passed away, I am also your mother. If you have someone you like, please tell me. I will make arrangements for you and let you have a grand wedding."
Shen Biyu and the original owner's mother were once close friends. The original owner's mother followed the Marquis to the battlefield, while Shen Biyu entered the palace for the imperial concubine selection and gradually rose to the position of Empress.
"Then this humble woman thanks Your Majesty the Empress."
Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Just as Mu Chenshuang had guessed.
Feng Guche did indeed seek out Fu Junheng to inquire about his relationship with Mu Chenshuang.
Fu Junheng explained nonchalantly, "My relationship with Princess Weiyang is that of gentlemen. I know exactly what I'm doing, so Uncle doesn't need to worry too much."
Now, my nephew will probably have to rely on Princess Weiyang to put in a good word with that Doctor Li and ask him to help contact the Spirit Healer.
Feng Guche looked at Fu Junheng with deep eyes. He knew his physical condition very well. The reason he allowed him to stay here was because there was a natural hot spring in Yaoguang Residence that was suitable for him to heal.
"It's good that Junheng understands in his heart. It would be best if we could find that spiritual healer to treat you."
Feng Guche didn't ask any more questions. He got up and walked down the steps, looking at Fu Junheng. "Come with me somewhere. I've been feeling really troubled these days because of your grandmother's affairs. Let's get some fresh air."
