Fu Junheng was exhausted when he returned to the East Palace. He dismissed all the servants in the palace and only summoned Jue Ming.
"Serve me as I bathe and change." Fu Junheng said in a voice devoid of any emotion, then strode to the side and waited for Jue Ming to prepare the bathwater for him.
Jue Ming swiftly accepted the order and left. Upon exiting the main hall, he summoned the palace maid who was standing respectfully outside the door.
"Go and prepare hot water for His Highness the Crown Prince." As soon as Jue Ming finished speaking, the two palace maids he had ordered beamed with joy.
The palace maids had just been captivated by Fu Junheng's stunning profile and aloof demeanor, and had wanted to serve him well and impress him, but they were unexpectedly turned away by him. They were feeling regretful, but then their chance came.
Looking down at the palace maids exchanging delighted glances, he immediately understood what they were thinking and frowned slightly in displeasure.
Jue Ming lowered his voice and warned, "Just do what I tell you to do. You don't need to worry about serving the Crown Prince during his bath."
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the burning passion of the two palace maids, extinguishing the flames of hope in their hearts instantly.
The palace maid looked up at Jue Ming with a regretful expression, not daring to express any dissatisfaction. She could only suppress the emotions in her eyes, respond to the decision, and then bow and retreat indignantly.
Within fifteen minutes, the palace maids had prepared a bath tub for Fu Junheng, as well as clean change of clothes.
Jue Ming took the tray containing the neatly folded clothes and walked into the main hall with steady and powerful steps.
"Your Highness, please take a bath." The bath tub was placed behind a screen in the hall. Jue Ming stood not far from Fu Junheng and said this, while also putting down the tray of clothes that Fu Junheng was holding.
Fu Junheng got up and slowly walked towards the bathtub, his wide robes falling slowly down his strong arms.
As soon as a faint sound of water was heard, Fu Junheng had already immersed himself completely in the water.
The rising steam enveloped Fu Junheng, quickly covering his resolute and beautiful face with a layer of mist, and even leaving water droplets clinging to his long eyelashes.
Fu Junheng sat there with his eyes closed, looking like an immortal who had descended to earth.
"You may leave now," Fu Junheng said calmly. He just wanted to be alone and quiet.
After the door opened, it was closed again, leaving only Fu Junheng in the large bedroom. At this moment, all he could think about was Mu Chenshuang.
He couldn't help but recall the moments he spent with Mu Chenshuang in the warm pavilion of Yaoguang Residence, and he also longed for the delicate and smooth touch of Mu Chenshuang's skin.
Even Fu Junheng himself did not expect that when he left Xiyue Kingdom for Tianzhao Kingdom, he was cold and indifferent, but now he was so concerned about Mu Chenshuang and his longing for her was endless.
Fu Junheng slowly opened his eyes, his golden, cold eyes narrowing slightly.
He received a letter from Feng Ji last night, which not only mentioned the situation in Tianzhao Kingdom, but also things related to Mu Chenshuang.
Although he already knew about Mu Chenshuang's medical practice and free clinic in Tianzhao Kingdom, and although he was worried, he did not ask Feng Ji to stop her.
As for the top-secret letters he gave to Mu Chengshuang from Jiangcheng, it's good that they're temporarily kept by Feng Ji. At least it shows that Mu Chengshuang won't act unilaterally in this matter and will unite with others to help.
As long as Mu Chenshuang makes a move, Feng Ji will immediately inform him, so that he can appear by her side to protect her in times of crisis.
