"Miss, how am I feeling... I know in my heart that I... won't make it through this."
As she said this, a tear slid down Honghua's cheek.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head, but Honghua continued speaking.
“They drugged me. Although I don’t know what it is, I know it’s definitely not a good thing.”
Honghua spoke haltingly, but Mu Chenshuang's heart felt as if it had been tugged by something, both painful and tight.
Mu Yazhi did something even more cruel than I imagined!
She actually forced safflower to drink medicine, not to vent her anger, but purely to kill it.
Mu Chenshuang narrowed her eyes into slits, and her hands, hidden under her sleeves, clenched into fists.
"Miss...you must...take good care of yourself. I will never forget your kindness!"
After struggling to utter those words, Honghua finally shut her mouth.
Then, one of Honghua's arms also drooped down, and she lost all feeling in her body.
Mu Chenshuang slowly closed her eyes, and Linglong beside her was shocked.
In a panic, Linglong instinctively stretched out her index finger and touched Honghua's nose, then gasped.
The safflower died.
"Miss, this..."
Linglong looked at Mu Chenshuang with worry, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"A proper burial, conducted according to the old rules of the courtyard."
Mu Chenshuang's voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.
Linglong knew that Mu Chenshuang was trying her best to suppress her anger at this moment.
Thinking of what the Third Miss had done, Linglong's brows furrowed into a knot.
...
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Mu Chenshuang received a message delivered by carrier pigeon.
Feng Ji is back.
Staring at the familiar handwriting on the note, Mu Chenshuang was stunned for a long time.
Feng Ji asked me to meet him at Ya Xiang Lou tomorrow morning.
The thought that she always took Linglong and Honghua with her when she went out filled Mu Chenshuang with sadness.
I'm afraid that from now on I'll only be able to take Linglong with me when I go out.
Honghua, you should rest well. I will definitely avenge the suffering you have endured!
Mu Chenshuang did not sleep well that night.
Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It wasn't until late at night that Mu Chenshuang finally managed to doze off.
In a daze, Mu Chenshuang smelled a familiar fragrance.
That was Fu Junheng's unique scent.
Mu Chenshuang was puzzled and tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.
Mu Chenshuang could only rely on her sense of smell to take another deep breath.
Absolutely right.
Mu Chenshuang possesses superb medical skills and an exceptionally keen sense of smell, which is why she has never made a mistake in her judgment regarding the use of medicine.
This fragrance belongs to Fu Junheng!
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't open her eyes, Mu Chenshuang even felt that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would see a man standing by the bed!
That head of silver hair, that handsome face, it was undoubtedly Fu Junheng.
Since Fu Junheng went to Xiyue Kingdom, he hadn't felt this way for a long time.
Could it be... that Fu Junheng has returned?
impossible!
The current situation in Xiyue Kingdom is also a mess. Even if Fu Junheng draws his sharp sword, he may not be able to cut through the mess. So how could he possibly return to Tianzhao?
