Fu Junheng's expression suddenly darkened. He strode forward and was about to support him with both hands when Mu Chenshuang abruptly raised her eyes, staring at him with a sharp, defiant gaze, and snapped, "Don't touch me!"
Fu Junheng's hands froze, his trembling pupils staring at her, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by two hands.
Just then.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Both of them were startled at the same time. Fu Junheng frowned and looked back warily, his eyes filled with a murderous aura.
Mu Chenshuang stared at the person who appeared in surprise. How did he end up here?
Shen Nanzhi strode in, and as he and Fu Junheng locked eyes, an invisible thunderclap and lightning flashed, filling the entire room with a tense and dangerous atmosphere.
Shen Nanzhi noticed that Mu Chenshuang was not feeling well, so he stepped forward to support her and asked in a concerned tone, "Shuang'er, what's wrong?"
Mu Chenshuang did not resist Shen Nanzhi's touch and whispered, "I'm fine!"
This scene was particularly jarring to Fu Junheng's eyes; his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi helped Mu Chenshuang sit down, then stood up and looked directly at Fu Junheng, saying sternly, "I never expected that Crown Prince Junheng would be such an ill-mannered and immoral person, breaking into someone else's boudoir in the middle of the night. Is he really not afraid of being discovered and ruining Princess Weiyang's reputation?!"
The questioning tone even carried a hint of anger.
The clash of powerful auras created an exceptionally tense and suffocating atmosphere.
Fu Junheng scoffed, his sharp, menacing eyes gleaming. "General Shen, where do you get the audacity to question me here?"
Shen Nanzhi said without any fear, "I originally thought that since a thief had broken in, I would not stand idly by for Shuang'er's safety. But I never expected that what Crown Prince Junheng meant by 'no opportunity' was that you were forcing me here?"
The tone was sarcastic and mocking, almost as if they were about to utter the word "despicable" directly.
Fu Junheng clenched his fingers, making a cracking sound, and the cold aura emanating from him filled the entire room.
It felt like he could start fighting Shen Nanzhi any second now.
"I hope Crown Prince Junheng will have some self-awareness. I don't want things to get too ugly," Mu Chenshuang suddenly said.
Fu Junheng stared intently at Mu Chenshuang, his dark eyes brimming with suppressed emotions.
At this moment.
Qi Ye rushed in, but stopped abruptly when he saw the scene before him. Just moments before, he had clearly sensed a murderous aura and was in a hurry to...
Mu Chenshuang looked at Qi Ye and said indifferently, "Qi Ye, escort Crown Prince Jun Heng away."
Fu Junheng stared at Mu Chenshuang with a cold gaze.
Mu Chenshuang turned her gaze away to avoid his eyes.
Qi Ye walked to Fu Junheng's side and said, "Crown Prince Junheng, please!"
Fu Junheng lowered his gaze, gave Shen Nanzhi a cold stare, and without lingering, turned and left the house.
Mu Chenshuang leaned on the bed railing with one hand, feeling weak. She lowered her eyes and concealed the slight redness in them.
Shen Nanzhi stared at Fu Junheng's departing figure until he left, and then turned around to see Mu Chenshuang's dejected mood.
This moment.
His heart ached as if pricked by needles, and he softly called out, "Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang regained her senses, looked up at him, composed herself, and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Shen Nanzhi looked at her and replied, "Linglong said you were summoned to the palace, and I was worried that something had happened, so I came to check on you."
He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Shuang'er, you and him..."
Mu Chenshuang interrupted, "I already said, Nan Zhi, don't ask anymore. It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"
Shen Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions. Even if they had really had something going on, he had no right to pursue it further.
"Shuang'er, you should get some rest!"
When Qi Ye returned to her room, she ran into Shen Nanzhi.
After Shen Nanzhi asked him to take good care of Mu Chenshuang, he left the Marquis's residence without saying anything more.
Qi Ye watched Shen Nanzhi leave, then returned to the house, walked up to Mu Chenshuang, and asked, "Miss... are you alright now?"
Mu Chenshuang circulated her qi to calm her body, took a breath, and slowly raised her eyes. "I'm fine now, you should go and rest too!"
Seven Nights stood still.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Ye glanced at Mu Chen Shuang's lower abdomen and said, "I wonder if the child in your belly, Miss, is actually Crown Prince Jun Heng?"
