Mu Chenshuang felt inexplicably flustered by his burning gaze, so she looked away, took a step, and walked around him.
"As long as you avoid looking into bright light and get some rest, you'll be fine. Crown Prince Junheng, please leave. It might not be good if the princess sees you here."
Judging from the emperor's attitude just now, he clearly wanted to bring Feng Anxue and Fu Junheng together.
If Feng Anxue could marry into the Western Moon Kingdom as part of a peace treaty, it would be beneficial to the peaceful development of both countries.
Therefore, she and he should keep a proper distance and not overthink things.
Fu Junheng stepped forward, his deep voice slowly rising, "You care a lot about Feng Anxue being by my side?"
Mu Chenshuang was startled and turned around abruptly. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw that the man was almost touching her. She panicked and subconsciously took a step back. She opened her eyes wide to meet his gaze, and quickly calmed herself down.
"Crown Prince Junheng has probably misunderstood. Who you are with has nothing to do with me."
Fu Junheng stared into her deep eyes, as if trying to see something in them, and continued to ask, "Then why did you run away in such a hurry just now?"
Mu Chenshuang chuckled lightly, "If I don't leave quickly, am I supposed to keep hiding? It wouldn't be good if I disturbed you and the princess."
Fu Junheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Princess Weiyang's words make me think that you are jealous."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang's face darkened, and her heart inexplicably panicked, as if her displeasure had been seen through. She said with a gloomy face, "Crown Prince Junheng is probably overthinking things. Why should I be jealous?"
Suddenly.
Fu Junheng took a step closer to Mu Chenshuang. Mu Chenshuang instinctively stepped back, her eyes widening as she looked at him warily. "What are you doing?"
The moment he finished speaking, the man reached out and wrapped his large hand around the woman's waist, pressing his tall frame down and whispering in her ear.
Mu Chenshuang tensed up. "Fu Junheng, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
All that could be heard was the man's deep, magnetic voice resonating in her ears, "I felt very bad when I saw you with Shen Nanzhi."
His breath fell on Mu Chenshuang's neck like countless needles stimulating her nerve cells.
Suddenly.
Mu Chenshuang pushed Fu Junheng away with force, took a deep breath to calm herself, and said with a cold and stern face, "Crown Prince Junheng, please be mindful of your status and don't go too far."
"Is that really what Princess Weiyang thinks?"
Mu Chenshuang's heart tightened. She turned her head to look at him and asked in a raised voice, "Has Crown Prince Junheng fallen for me?"
The words were spoken.
Fu Junheng's eyes dimmed; he couldn't answer those words.
Seeing his indifference, Mu Chenshuang felt as if something had stabbed her heart, followed by a fleeting bittersweet feeling.
"In the end, Crown Prince Junheng's feelings for me are just a passing fancy. Adults always have moments when they lose their rationality and can't control themselves. Crown Prince Junheng's displeasure is just his pride and possessiveness at play. When you meet someone you like, you will realize that I am just a passing cloud to you and not important at all. I am not an object for Crown Prince Junheng to play with, so please, Crown Prince Junheng, know your place."
Mu Chenshuang spoke each word carefully, her expression extremely serious.
"I can pretend I didn't hear what Crown Prince Junheng said today. My relationship with you is one of respect and propriety. Crown Prince Junheng, please leave!"
Fu Junheng lowered his eyes slightly, his face somber.
The space was so quiet and still that you could almost hear a pin drop.
At this moment.
A voice called out from outside, "Chen Shuang."
Immediately afterwards.
Xue Jiajia lifted the curtain and stepped inside. Just as she was about to speak, she felt as if she were frozen solid. She cautiously withdrew one foot, her expression stiff, and stared blankly at Fu Junheng. She respectfully greeted him, "Your...Your Highness, I seem to have arrived at the wrong time."
As Xue Jiajia spoke, she turned to leave.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly said, "Jiajia, Crown Prince Junheng has something to attend to and is about to leave."
Xue Jiajia stopped in her tracks.
Fu Junheng did not linger any longer. He lifted the curtain and strode away.
For quite a while.
Xue Jiajia finally snapped out of her shock and walked towards Mu Chenshuang, asking in confusion, "What happened? Did you and Crown Prince Junheng have a fight?"
Mu Chenshuang slowly sat down, her expression softening. She reached for the teapot to pour herself a glass of water, but her hand felt weak.
With a snap.
The teapot fell from her hands.
Xue Jiajia was startled. "What's wrong with you? You weren't scared by Crown Prince Junheng, were you? What just happened? Crown Prince Junheng's face looked a bit scary!"
Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, "Nothing. What do you want to see me about?"
Xue Jiajia stared at her suspiciously, "Don't change the subject. Tell me quickly what your relationship with Crown Prince Junheng is. Everyone says he and Cousin Ji are a couple and don't like women, but Crown Prince Junheng treats you differently. What's going on between you two?"
Mu Chenshuang stared at him and said seriously, "There's nothing between him and me, so don't ask any more questions."
Xue Jiajia was stunned by Mu Chenshuang's cold and stern expression. After a few seconds of hesitation, she pouted and said, "Fine, I won't ask then."
"What do you want?"
