Mu Chenshuang's eyes lit up as she realized what was going on.
Although Fu Junheng is the crown prince of Xiyue Kingdom, the person who has controlled the Xiyue Kingdom's politics for decades is the Empress Dowager. It is said that she is not satisfied with him as the crown prince and wants someone else to inherit the throne.
Bloodshed is a normal occurrence in power struggles.
But the fact that they even extended their reach into the imperial city of Tianzhao Kingdom shows that the person who wanted to kill him was in the capital.
"Why would Crown Prince Junheng use such a method to trick the other party?" Mu Chenshuang asked in return.
Fu Junheng replied softly, "This is the only way I could think of. It was my fault for frightening Princess Weiyang."
His flippant tone suddenly turned sincere.
Mu Chenshuang didn't turn around to look at him; she simply kept her back to him.
“This forest is not safe; it’s freezing cold, and you’re pregnant. If Princess Weiyang insists on relaxing in the forest, I can protect you as a way of expressing my apologies.”
Mu Chenshuang refused outright, "No need."
After saying that.
Mu Chenshuang didn't linger. She used her internal energy to leap onto the tree trunk and quickly left.
Fu Junheng stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed as he looked in the direction Mu Chenshuang had left.
immediately.
The figure of Jue Ming appeared instantly beside Fu Junheng.
“They are still hiding in the forest and will not give up so easily,” Jue Ming said respectfully.
Fu Junheng's eyes darkened, his expression turned icy, and a fierce aura emanated from them.
"You don't need to follow me anymore, go back."
Jue Ming was surprised, "Your Highness."
The assassins are currently hiding in this forest, and it's uncertain how many are lurking there. Although the leader of the White Lotus Sect may not be a match for His Highness, a human wave tactic would still be quite troublesome.
His Highness is still suffering from severe poisoning, and now that His Highness wants to deal with this alone, it inevitably worries him.
"I am not alone."
After Fu Junheng finished speaking, he disappeared into the forest.
Jue Ming stood there, his brows furrowed, unable to understand what His Highness meant.
He was very worried and wanted to follow and check, but he dared not disobey His Highness's orders.
So he stood there motionless, not daring to chase after them, but also worried and dared not leave.
I don't know how much time passed, until I heard Feng Ji's voice behind me, "Death."
Jue Ming turned around, looked at Feng Ji who had jumped down and landed steadily, and clasped his hands in a salute, saying, "King Xiaoyao."
Feng Ji walked towards him, "What are you doing here? Where is your prince?"
Jue Ming explained the whole story to Feng Ji.
Feng Ji smiled knowingly and said, "Since he wants you to go back, then go back!"
"but……"
Feng Ji patted his shoulder and interrupted, "With Princess Weiyang here, even if your prince is poisoned, he will be fine."
He really knows how to keep his thoughts hidden.
Jue Ming was only half aware of the situation, but since the Prince of Xiaoyao had said so, he would obey His Highness's orders.
"Why did the carefree king come to this forest?" Jue Ming asked.
"Go up the mountain to investigate and see if there are any signs of wild animals going berserk."
At that moment, he also noticed the beast's unusual behavior.
Jue Ming didn't ask any more questions.
After exploring the area and finding nothing unusual, Feng Ji and the others left.
After Mu Chenshuang and Fu Junheng separated by a distance, they stopped on a banyan tree.
I don't know if it's because of transportation capacity or something else, but I can't calm down.
She unconsciously raised her hand, her fingers touching her lips, as if the warmth of that touch still lingered.
"Owner."
Sui Sui's voice suddenly came.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly came to her senses, lowered her hand, and clenched her fist. What on earth was she thinking just now?
