Fu Junheng's expression was deep and his surroundings became heavy. He slowly turned his head to look at Mu Chenshuang's indifferent and resolute back. Her aloofness kept people at a distance. Some emotion seemed to be churning in his deep and dark eyes. His clenched fingers seemed to be trying hard to suppress his emotions.
Mu Chenshuang turned her back to him, not wanting to look at him or guess why he was helping her.
After a brief silence.
All that could be heard was the man's deep, calm voice, devoid of any emotion, "It seems I've been meddling in other people's business."
After saying that.
Fu Junheng turned and strode away.
Mu Chenshuang stood there, her eyes lowered, her pupils slightly contracted, as if a rope was tied to her heart, tightening little by little.
"Owner!"
Sui Sui's voice echoed in her mind, but Mu Chenshuang didn't hear it at all.
"Owner!"
After Sui Sui called out several times, Mu Chen Shuang finally came to her senses and calmed down. "What's wrong?"
"Master, what's wrong? I called you several times but you didn't hear me," Sui Sui asked in confusion.
Mu Chenshuang blinked, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and asked, "Nothing's wrong. Why did you wake up?"
Sui Sui spends most of her time sleeping and storing spiritual energy.
"I just woke up and felt my master's heart suddenly become disordered, which also affected the baby in her belly. Fortunately, Sui Sui noticed it in time and released a little spiritual power to stabilize the baby."
Hearing Sui Sui's words, Mu Chenshuang subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen, walked to the edge of the bed, slowly sat down, lowered her eyes, and her fingers involuntarily tightened slightly. What was wrong with her? Could it be that she was really upset because of Fu Junheng's inconsiderate behavior?
Thinking about this...
Mu Chenshuang laughed self-deprecatingly. How could she possibly have developed feelings for Fu Junheng because of being taken advantage of for no reason? It was truly laughable; she didn't have a persecution complex.
Her heart sank suddenly. She composed herself and resumed her usual indifference.
"Master, the air here is so foul, why are you staying here?"
Sui Sui is exceptionally sensitive to the surrounding air.
"I won't stay too long; I'll be back by tonight at the latest."
Sui Sui replied with an "Oh," and then asked, "Master, when can we go stay at that handsome man's house?"
I had promised Sui Sui that I would let it absorb enough spiritual energy.
But she will definitely never set foot in Yaoguang Residence again.
"No need to stay there, I can take you directly into Zijing Mountain."
Sui Sui readily agreed, as long as she could consume enough spiritual energy.
As expected.
Before evening, the Court of Justice released Mu Chenshuang.
Fan Qin found it unbelievable. He had checked Cai Mingquan and found that she had clearly died, but she never expected that she would come back to life.
Although Cai Mingquan harbored resentment towards Mu Chenshuang, he was not a treacherous person. Now that he learned that it was his beloved concubine who had drugged him, he had no reason to continue framing Mu Chenshuang. Therefore, Cai Mingquan personally went to the Court of Justice to testify and inform them that it was not Mu Chenshuang who had plotted against him.
Cai Mingquan was waiting for her outside.
Mu Chenshuang walked out of the courtyard and saw Cai Mingquan and Fan Qin.
Cai Mingquan looked at the woman who came out and expressed his apology and gratitude to her, "I was disrespectful to the princess before, and I thank the princess for saving my life this time."
After speaking, Tsai Ming-Chuan bowed respectfully.
Mu Chenshuang simply said, "Since Lord Cai is alright, and I am also unharmed, Lord Cai doesn't need to thank me further."
He was able to wake up because Qi Ye saved him, and Qi Ye must have explained some things to him.
Cai Mingquan was shocked. Mu Chenshuang's magnanimous attitude was completely different from the rumors she had heard before.
Looking closely at the woman before him now, with her bright, clear eyes and a calm, reserved yet noble aura, she didn't seem like an arrogant or rude person at all.
"In any case, this old minister still wants to express his apologies to the princess."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more, but reminded him, "Lord Cai should take better care of his health in the future."
"This old minister understands."
"However, there is one thing I really hope Lord Cai can help me investigate thoroughly."
Cai Mingquan realized, "The amount of the donation?"
Mu Chenshuang said seriously, "I just want to know if this donation really happened. Lord Cai, if there are any problems, or if someone cheats or breaks the law under your nose, and something is found out, it will be because you failed to supervise properly. That won't do you any good in front of His Majesty."
He is the Crown Prince's man; if he makes a mistake, he will surely be targeted by the other faction.
Cai Mingquan's shoulders trembled involuntarily, and her expression panicked for a moment. Looking at Mu Chenshuang's resolute attitude, she felt a sudden pang of guilt. Could something really have gone wrong?
"This old minister will go back and investigate thoroughly."
"I'll have to trouble you, Lord Cai."
Cai Mingquan turned and left quickly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze and looked at Fan Qin, asking, "There is something I would like to ask Lord Fan. Did you investigate the Xun family because of the Crown Prince's instructions?"
Fan Qin replied, "We had made some progress last night, but I received a document from the Imperial Observatory early this morning, so I no longer had the authority to continue the investigation. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince arrived at the Court of Justice at that time, and with the Crown Prince's edict, the people we sent were able to continue the investigation at the Cai residence."
Mu Chenshuang listened, her heart stirred, but she didn't ask any more questions. "I understand. Lord Fan, you must keep a close watch on the captured criminals and interrogate them strictly."
"I understand, and I will certainly give the princess an explanation."
Mu Chenshuang thanked him and then left the Court of Justice.
Seven Nights was already waiting outside.
Mu Chenshuang boarded the carriage.
"Where did you go today?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
