Mu Chenshuang walked ahead, noticed something was wrong, and turned around to look.
As night fell, the palace lanterns swayed in the cold wind, casting a flickering glow that illuminated Fu Junheng's exquisitely handsome and profound face. The wind tossed strands of hair, making his expression appear unusual.
Mu Chenshuang's heart tightened suddenly; this aura was clearly wrong.
Is he angry?
“Um… Crown Prince Junheng, I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m a very open-minded person. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with following true feelings, regardless of gender or even between men and men. Worldly opinions are just a passing fad. The key is that two people are in sync.”
After all, homosexuality always attracts gossip, especially when it involves a prince who is about to inherit the throne.
Fu Junheng did not answer Mu Chenshuang's question. He simply walked away with a cold face and said coldly, "The wind is cold and the dew is heavy. Your Highness should return to your palace to prepare as soon as possible."
Mu Chenshuang sensed the man's anger and was momentarily confused as to why he was angry. Was it because his thoughts had been exposed in public?
After all, Fu Junheng, a proud and noble crown prince, could not tolerate someone testing him with such an unspeakable secret.
It seems that he and the Prince of Leisure really did have that kind of relationship.
Thinking about this.
Mu Chenshuang felt a little guilty. Her probing words were inappropriate, especially since he had just saved her. She quickened her pace and stepped forward to apologize.
She took a quick step, but before she knew it, her foot slipped on the step. Mu Chenshuang panicked, reacted instantly, braced herself with her palm on the ground, and then did a backflip.
But her body had not yet landed and regained its footing.
Immediately afterward, a figure flashed before her eyes. Before she could react, her waist was forcefully pulled up, causing her body to lean forward abruptly.
The next second.
The touch of lips, the warmth and softness of breath touching and intertwining.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes widened instantly. Everything around her seemed to freeze, and her mind went completely blank. She didn't know how to react at all.
Sudden.
A series of rapid, forceful footsteps came from all around.
"quick!"
"You guys go search over there!"
"Follow me this way!"
"..."
Mu Chenshuang was pulled back to her senses, and in a panic, she withdrew her hand and pushed the man away. In the instant she withdrew her hand, her right hand accidentally pulled on the ribbon that the man was using to cover his eyes behind his head.
The eye straps were ripped off.
The instant it was torn open.
What immediately catches the eye is a pair of unique golden pupils. His already stunningly handsome face is further enhanced by his extraordinary golden eyes, which are like the eyes of a god, making him appear even more noble.
Startled by the removal of his blindfold, Mu Chenshuang didn't notice her footing and twisted her ankle, about to fall onto the cold ground.
"ah!"
Immediately afterwards, she was picked up and carried.
"you……"
Hearing the commotion, the Imperial Guards conducting the search quickly headed in this direction to investigate. Upon reaching the covered bridge, they found no one, but could clearly see footprints imprinted on the snow.
“These might be the footprints left by the thieves. You few stay here and guard the area. No one is allowed to approach.”
"yes."
Fu Junheng carried Mu Chenshuang and leaped to the Moon Ascension Tower, setting her down the moment he did so.
"vomit!"
Mu Chenshuang clutched her chest, feeling nauseous.
Upon seeing this.
Fu Junheng frowned slightly, put one hand on her shoulder, and settled her on a stool to the side.
He placed one palm on her waist and channeled his inner energy upwards to stabilize the fetal heartbeat.
Mu Chenshuang kept her eyes closed, and her pale face gradually regained some color. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling much more comfortable. She turned her head slightly and said, "I am truly grateful to Crown Prince Junheng for saving me so many times."
Fu Junheng withdrew his hand, his voice calm and clear, "It's alright."
Hearing the man's distant and indifferent tone, Mu Chenshuang realized that this man really didn't seem like the kind of person who would play the hero and save a damsel in distress.
At the same time, she noticed the eye patch she was still holding in her hand.
She looked up and saw the man's deep golden eyes, eyes that were enough to make one willingly fall into the abyss for him.
With golden eyes and silver hair, she was truly a beauty beyond compare.
Mu Chenshuang stood up, bowed her head, and presented the blindfold with both hands, hurriedly saying, "I didn't mean to just now. If Crown Prince Junheng's taboo is eyes, I can guarantee that I didn't see anything."
A pair of unique golden pupils, a rare pupil color in the world.
In feudal society, any unusual physical appearance was either seen as an ominous sign or as auspicious.
He always wore a black veil over his eyes, probably because he didn't want others to know his eye color, so he was likely afraid of attracting criticism.
Fu Junheng slowly reached out his hand, and the moment he took it, Mu Chenshuang turned around to show that she hadn't seen anything.
"Your Highness need not worry. I would not kill someone just because they saw my eyes."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang felt, for some reason, that he was indeed that kind of person.
She slowly turned around and saw that the man had already put on his eye bandage.
"May I ask why Your Highness always wears an eye patch?"
The man simply replied, "It's just an eye problem."
Mu Chenshuang didn't expect him to answer, "In that case, it seems that even the Carefree King is helpless about this."
Feng Ji's medical skills are superb, but Fu Junheng is still wearing an eye patch, so it seems he hasn't been cured.
"I wonder what kind of eye ailment it is. Perhaps I can be of some help. Consider this my way of expressing my gratitude for your rescue today."
In terms of medical skills, she is by no means inferior to Feng Ji. If all the doctors in the world were to be counted, they would all have to call her their ancestor.
Fu Junheng glanced at her sideways, his golden eyes beneath the black veil scrutinizing her. "I didn't know the Crown Princess knew medicine."
"I was fortunate enough to learn a thing or two from a renowned teacher, so perhaps I happen to know how to treat Prince Junheng's eye ailment."
"Is that so? In that case, I will trouble the Crown Princess in the future."
"good."
She could use this opportunity to find out more about the two of them; what Feng Ji knew, Fu Junheng must also know.
She needs to know whose child this is.
It's astonishing that Feng Ji would protect her to such an extent.
"It's getting late. I'll trouble Crown Prince Junheng to escort me back to my chambers. The fireworks banquet is about to begin."
