Chen Ping looked at Xiao Qingyu, his attitude still assertive, "Only people with impure thoughts would have such filthy ideas."
Xiao Qingyu was furious. "Chen Ping, how dare you speak to me like that?"
If Chen Ping weren't a close confidant of the Crown Prince, she would have ordered him to be dragged away and punished right now.
Chen Ping remained expressionless. "I have no intention of offending Consort Xiao. I am only concerned about His Highness the Crown Prince's safety. Princess Weiyang is currently treating the Crown Prince. If Consort Xiao truly cares for His Highness the Crown Prince, she should wait outside."
Xiao Qingyu stared at Chen Ping with narrowed eyes, feeling intense resentment and anger.
Chen Ping stopped her from entering, and she had no way to force her way in. Just as she was feeling anxious and at a loss, a guard hurriedly came to report, "Your Excellency, Crown Prince Junheng has arrived."
Upon learning that Mu Chenshuang had arrived at the East Palace, Fu Junheng came immediately.
Xiao Qingyu's eyes lit up.
Chen Ping had naturally heard about the relationship between the current Princess Weiyang and Crown Prince Junheng. Now that Crown Prince Junheng was rushing here so urgently, it was obvious who he was here for.
Before Chen Ping could speak, Xiao Qingyu said, "Why don't you invite Crown Prince Junheng to come here?"
The guards received the order and turned to leave. Just then, a man in a black robe, with unparalleled elegance, appeared in the courtyard in front of the palace. He walked with a steady step, his posture was outstanding, and he exuded a kingly aura that commanded respect.
Even from a distance, one could feel the imposing and awe-inspiring aura emanating from him.
Originally, I saw him appear a few meters away, but in an instant, his figure flashed in front of the palace gate, and I watched as he pushed the door open and went straight in.
Chen Ping then realized what was happening, quickly stepped forward, and hurriedly explained, "Crown Prince Junheng!"
Fu Junheng glanced at him sideways, his golden pupils fixed with a fearsome intensity.
Chen Ping was intimidated by such a gaze. "Princess Weiyang is merely treating the Crown Prince. Please wait outside while the Crown Prince waits."
When Chen Ping said these words, he had completely lost his composure and his expression was filled with awe.
Before Fu Junheng could speak, Xiao Qingyu strode forward and scolded, "Chen Ping, Crown Prince Junheng has a close relationship with Princess Weiyang. If Princess Weiyang is simply treating His Highness, why are you so forcefully stopping her? Could it be that Princess Weiyang treating the Crown Prince in the palace is just an excuse you're using?"
Xiao Qingyu said these words simply to provoke Fu Junheng. No matter what, Mu Chenshuang was previously married to the Crown Prince. Now that Fu Junheng cares about Mu Chenshuang, he will definitely harbor resentment and be dissatisfied with her.
Fu Junheng forced his way in, and Chen Ping had no courage to stop him.
Upon hearing Xiao Qingyu's words, Chen Ping panicked. He looked up at Fu Junheng's cold and gloomy face, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Crown Prince Junheng, the Crown Prince suddenly fainted just now. Princess Weiyang said that the Crown Prince was poisoned by a Gu, so Princess Weiyang is treating the Crown Prince. I dare to guarantee it with my life."
When Chen Ping uttered the words "Gu poison," Xiao Qingyu's expression changed drastically. Mu Chenshuang had indeed noticed it. At that moment, she felt her mind go blank for a second, her heart clenched in her throat, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed fear and unease. How exactly would Mu Chenshuang treat her?
Fu Junheng looked at Chen Ping with an unchanging expression, then looked back at the room and said, "In that case, I will wait here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's tense heart relaxed. "Thank you, Crown Prince Junheng. Please wait in the guest room."
Fu Junheng turned around and coldly refused, "No need!"
At this moment, only Xiao Qingyu, looking panicked, stood motionless, bewildered and at a loss.
"Your Majesty!" Lanxiang whispered in her ear.
Xiao Qingyu then came to her senses, lowered her gaze and looked away from Lanxiang, saying, "I'm not feeling well, come back to the palace with me first."
Lanxiang was puzzled.
Xiao Qingyu knew in her heart that she had no way to go in now, and there was no point in staying here. She had more important things to do.
She glanced at Chen Ping and said, "You'd better guarantee that Princess Weiyang can cure the Crown Prince."
He left after saying those words.
Chen Ping watched as Xiao Qingyu left.
Half an incense stick later.
Fu Junheng's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the air around him seemed to solidify, clearly indicating that he was getting impatient.
Chen Ping stood by, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Fu Junheng, and felt uneasy, unsure of the current situation.
At this moment.
The door was opened from the inside.
Fu Junheng turned around and saw the woman coming out of the house. She looked obviously tired.
