Chapter 48 Unable to Extricate Oneself



We arrived at the gate of Yaoguang Residence.

Someone was waiting outside early, but only let her in.

Mu Chenshuang asked Linglong to wait outside.

After passing through a plum garden, Mu Chenshuang followed the guards into the residence.

"Please, Your Highness!"

The guard opened the door and respectfully invited him in.

Mu Chenshuang took off her shoes and stepped into the house. As soon as she entered, a warm breeze wafted in. The simple and rustic decor was simple yet elegant.

Step inside.

She saw the man squatting on the stool, holding a book in one hand and flipping through it with the other. Today he wasn't wearing his glasses, and his handsome face was on full display; he was indeed a rare beauty.

Fu Junheng put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Crown Princess, do you want to stand while you speak to me?"

Upon hearing this...

Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and sat opposite him. A heater was burning nearby, which made the room much warmer.

"Crown Prince Junheng should know what I've come to ask today?"

Fu Junheng leaned back in his chair and calmly looked at Mu Chenshuang. "Didn't you say you could cure my eyes? So, I'm sending you this as a thank-you gift in advance: the divorce decree you wanted to leave the East Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be delivered to you today."

really.

He told Feng Guche about the divorce.

But I never expected it was for this reason.

Indeed, associating with him could alleviate some of Feng Guche's concerns, and out of respect for him, he would not punish her, at most harboring resentment towards her.

"But Feng Xilan wrote me a letter of divorce. I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor harbors resentment towards me. Will it really be as you say, just a simple divorce, instead of letting the Crown Prince announce the divorce to the world with a letter of divorce?"

Fu Junheng remained expressionless and asked in return, "What do you think?"

A brief silence.

Mu Chenshuang said, "It seems that Crown Prince Junheng's position in His Majesty's heart has surpassed that of Feng Xilan. As for the matter of the Dragon Blood Ginseng, I presume that Crown Prince Junheng has already dealt with it?"

Yesterday he said he hadn't noticed the thief. How could the Emperor believe that? Tinglan Courtyard is only a hundred meters away from the Imperial Household Department. How could a master swordsman who holds the number one sword manual not notice the presence of a suspicious person?

Fu Junheng slowly reached out and picked up a cup of hot tea, took a small sip, and said, "I'm quite curious to know how you managed to take the Dragon Blood Ginseng away?"

Mu Chenshuang did not answer. "Your Highness need not know this. I have obtained the Dragon Blood Ginseng and I must thank Your Highness. In all things considered, I really owe Your Highness a lot of favors. If I cannot cure your eyes, I will truly be letting you down."

"Since Miss Mu has spoken, I can trust you this once."

"May I ask what ailment Your Highness suffers from?"

Looking at it this way, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his eyes.

"Miss Mu, would you like to take a look and see what eye ailment I have?"

His words clearly indicated that he wanted her to prove her medical skills.

"This would probably require a careful examination of Your Highness's eyes, involving close contact and touch. I wonder if Your Highness would mind?"

She was fine.

"It's alright!"

Since he said so, she had no reason to refuse. She slowly stood up, took a step forward, and squatted down next to Fu Junheng.

First, take a pulse diagnosis.

Then we examined his eyeballs.

Fu Junheng leaned back in his chair, facing the ceiling.

Mu Chenshuang raised her hand, and hesitated for a moment when her fingers approached his eyes. At such a close distance, her hand would touch his cheek. Although she was a doctor, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Is there a problem?"

Fu Junheng noticed her hesitation and asked in a deep voice.

"No."

After calming herself down, Mu Chenshuang used her fingers to pry open the man's upper and lower eyelids and looked at him closely.

The interplay of breaths, the quiet atmosphere, the slowly rising smoke—even though it was a medical appointment, there was an indescribable ambiguity.

From Fu Junheng's angle, he could almost see the tiny pores on the woman's skin. A unique fragrance wafted into his nose, and the memory of that night resurfaced in his mind. The intensity of that night made her fragrance even stronger, and it made him unable to resist.

His usually calm and collected mind was thrown into turmoil.

Mu Chenshuang focused on examining his eyes, completely ignoring the man's expression.

Inspection complete.

Mu Chenshuang stood up, but before she could stand up straight, her long sleeves seemed to be pressed down by something. Combined with her kneeling posture, her legs and feet were a little numb, and her upper body was pulled back. With this pull, her body was forced to face down and kiss Fu Junheng, who was raising his head.
