"No, they are definitely not in that kind of relationship!" However, before Mu Chenshuang could finish speaking, the shocked Feng Ji didn't have time to think and quickly denied Mu Chenshuang's idea.
Somewhat shocked and excited, Feng Ji even widened his speechless eyes and made a vow as if to swear, "Princess, you can believe me. I have absolutely not lied to you about this matter. You can completely trust me."
"You know that Junheng is cold-hearted and indifferent. Before meeting the princess, he had never been moved by any woman. To Crown Prince Junheng, you, the princess, are an uncontrollable accident, and he has no way to deal with it."
What Feng Ji said was all true. Mu Chenshuang observed Feng Ji's expression and realized that he didn't seem to be lying. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
An awkward silence fell over the large flower hall. Mu Chenshuang paused, then looked up and asked, "Since Your Highness just denied that they were lovers, does that mean you admit they were indeed old acquaintances?"
Mu Chenshuang then realized that if they were just old acquaintances, then why did Mu Chunxi pretend not to know Fu Junheng at first after returning to Tianzhao Kingdom, and why was she so restrained in her contact with him? All of this seemed too abnormal.
Mu Chenshuang believed that something unusual must be going on.
Mu Chenshuang felt that even if Mu Chunxi and Fu Junheng were not in a close romantic relationship, there must be a secret between them, a secret that should not be known to others.
"What exactly is their relationship? Or is there some secret between them? Or is there some kind of deal?" Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Faced with Mu Chenshuang's increasingly rigorous questioning, Feng Ji fell silent, which could be considered a tacit admission.
Having already grasped the situation somewhat, Mu Chenshuang didn't press further but waited for Feng Ji to give her an answer.
However, after a long while, Feng Ji suddenly clenched the cup in his hand, as if he had made up his mind.
He looked up at Mu Chenshuang, but did not answer her question directly. Instead, he silently hinted, "They are indeed old acquaintances. As for what is between them, I am not entirely clear."
Mu Chenshuang clearly didn't quite believe his explanation, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at him.
Feng Ji felt a little guilty, but he didn't show it. Instead, his face was unusually calm and at ease.
He continued, "If the princess really wants to know, why not keep this question for now and ask Crown Prince Junheng yourself when you meet him again in the future?"
Mu Chenshuang remained silent. Seeing that she was no longer pressing him for answers, Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "Princess, don't worry. I believe that you will see Crown Prince Junheng again soon."
Hearing his confident tone, Mu Chenshuang's heart skipped a beat, and she asked almost subconsciously, "Is he... really doing well in Xiyue Kingdom?"
Seeing Mu Chenshuang's worry, Feng Ji also put away his playful expression, nodded, and said to her as if to comfort her or to express his concern, "Crown Prince Junheng is doing well now, but I will be leaving Tianzhao Kingdom for a short period of time tomorrow."
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback and quickly looked up at him.
