Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes, calming her unsteady breathing. Now that she was pregnant, her alluring pregnant appearance was even more captivating.
Fu Junheng stared intently, his eyelids slightly lowered, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.
Mu Chenshuang, nestled close to the man's chest, could hardly miss the change in his tense body. She looked up at him and said, "I came out in the middle of the night. Are you sure no one was following me around here?"
Fu Junheng smiled slyly, "Who doesn't know our relationship? What are you afraid of?"
"We're not married yet, so going out in the middle of the night is just a secret rendezvous."
Fu Junheng raised his hand, his fingers gently stroking the woman's cheek, his golden eyes swirling as he stared intently at the woman in his arms. "Shuang'er, your reputation is now mine. So what if we have a secret rendezvous?"
"You're so confident, you could leave at any time. Once you're gone, I'll be left in Kyoto, facing all the gossip and rumors."
Fu Junheng's eyes darkened. "Shuang'er, why do you feel that I left you alone in the capital?"
Mu Chenshuang turned her head and looked out the window. The round moon in the sky was partially obscured by clouds, and the dim moonlight shone down on the world, making the night feel a bit cold and desolate.
"Fu Junheng, if I choose to stay in Kyoto, what will you do?" she asked, her tone and expression unusually serious.
Fu Junheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he tightened his embrace around the woman.
Mu Chenshuang then looked up at him and said, "Even if I love you, I will not abandon everything to leave you for my own selfish desires."
Fu Junheng looked down at her, their eyes met, and the ambiguous desire in their eyes gradually disappeared.
Suddenly.
Fu Junheng took Mu Chenshuang's slender fingers in his hand. "I will respect your choice, Shuang'er, but I will do everything I can to make you leave with me willingly."
As he spoke, he held Mu Chenshuang's hand to his lips and lightly kissed it, a tender and ambiguous kiss.
"Shuang'er, you should have heard about the current situation in Kyoto."
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and asked, "Then what do you know?"
Fu Junheng remained in Kyoto and had people in the palace; it was perfectly normal for the two countries to plant spies in each other's palaces.
Therefore, Fu Junheng is probably very familiar with the political situation in the court.
Fu Junheng replied, "I only know that Lord Mu's return to the capital this time may not be a good thing, but I believe that Lord Mu can make a good judgment and can keep the Marquis's mansion safe and sound in this chaos."
Mu Chenshuang turned to the side and looked out the window. Dark clouds completely obscured the full moon, leaving only darkness between heaven and earth.
"The political situation in the court is constantly changing. Who can guarantee that they can remain unscathed? As the saying goes, the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow. Now that my father has returned to the capital, it is the best time for the other side to make their move."
What's the difference between the former Prince of Libei and the current Marquis of Jingbian?
Back then, the Prince of Libei led his army to fight the enemy, but his entire army was wiped out. In the end, he was accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. This is truly regrettable. So, in recent years, Lord Mu has preferred to stay away from the intrigues and power struggles of the court by guarding the frontier. But now, he has to face the consequences.
"Then, Shuang'er, can you guess who's pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Fu Junheng asked.
Mu Chenshuang slightly raised her head and looked into the distance. "I dare not make any hasty conclusions. How much of a role can a woman like me play?"
Fu Junheng suddenly smiled, "This doesn't seem like the Princess Weiyang I know."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him sideways: "In your heart, am I very capable?"
Fu Junheng stepped forward and hugged her, a deep smile curving his lips. "Of course, but Shuang'er, you don't need to be so wary of me. Even though we are not from the same country, you belong to me alone. I have said that I will not do anything to hurt you."
