Linglong listened to the Crown Princess's mutterings, her mind filled with questions. This was the first time in a long time that she had seen the Crown Princess smile happily. Was it because she knew that the Crown Princess had heard that the Third Prince and Crown Prince Junheng were homosexual?
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What couple? What top? What bottom?"
Mu Chenshuang paused, then realized what she meant, suppressing her smile, and said, "Oh, it's nothing."
But the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. It was a pity she didn't see Fu Junheng today. What happened between them last night...?
Linglong stared at her Crown Princess in astonishment, wondering why the Empress's smile seemed so sinister.
Countless noble ladies in Kyoto were heartbroken upon learning that the two were gay, but only the Empress was this happy.
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing Linglong's astonished and confused expression, Mu Chenshuang coughed a few times, trying her best to compose herself.
"Um... nothing. By the way, did Lihua go to see Xiao Qingyu?" I asked, changing the subject.
Linglong's expression immediately showed a hint of sadness.
"Um."
"Linglong, people change eventually. You'd better let go of her. She's not worth your concern."
Linglong nodded, "This servant understands."
"Right now, I have completely offended the Crown Prince. Xiao Qingyu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, and her cousin is the Consort Rong, who is currently enjoying great favor. Even though I am now the Crown Princess and have the Emperor's golden token, it is not a good thing. I may be framed and plunged into an endless abyss at any time. Even a general with great military achievements in the previous dynasty could die by imperial decree, just because the Emperor listened to slander. The words of the person next to you in bed are the most terrifying."
Linglong, you must understand that my situation is not optimistic. If you cannot be decisive and firm, and set aside personal feelings, how can you and I survive peacefully in this treacherous palace?
These words struck Linglong like a thunderbolt, and she immediately sensed a crisis, quickly getting up and kneeling down.
"This servant knows, Your Majesty, please rest assured. Whether in life or death, this servant will follow Your Majesty."
Mu Chenshuang leaned forward and helped Linglong up, saying, "Get up! It's good that you understand in your heart."
Return to the Eastern Palace.
Eunuch Liu rushed over and said, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince requests your presence in the study."
Let's go!
He told himself that nothing good was going to happen.
We arrived at the study.
Mu Chenshuang saw Feng Xilan in his official robes, with a jade crown and black hair, a handsome and resolute face, and a dashing and debonair air.
"What business does Your Highness have with me?" The tone was cold and distant.
Upon hearing the voice, Feng Xilan paused slightly, put down her brush, and looked up. Before her eyes was a stunningly beautiful face. Standing against the light, the halo surrounding her gave her an air of unapproachable holiness.
Especially his pair of jet-black eyes, so deep and unfathomable, yet he felt no admiration whatsoever from them.
The face was clearly the same, but it suddenly felt strangely unfamiliar to him.
Overnight, she seemed to become even more radiant.
But he quickly suppressed this unusual thought in his heart, his eyes coldly fixed on Mu Chen Shuang, "Does the Crown Princess really think that with Father Emperor's golden token, she can be exempted from bowing to me?!"
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened, and her hands clenched tighter. This bastard was clearly trying to get revenge on her. She was used to others bowing to her, but she had to accept it for now.
Composing herself, she curtsied and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Feng Xilan stared intently at Mu Chenshuang and sneered, "I thought the Crown Princess would be as majestic and ruthless as she was yesterday."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened as she stared at Feng Xilan, cursing inwardly: "A dog man is a dog man."
"Your Highness, please speak your mind. There is no need to mock me like this."
Seeing her calm and aloof demeanor, Feng Xilan felt a surge of anger rising within her, and coldly questioned, "Where did you go?"
"Go out of the palace to relax."
"Take a break?" Feng Xilan scoffed. "You're probably thinking of having an affair and finding someone else. Yesterday, Fu Junheng only came to say a few words for you, and you're already so eager and shameless to push your way in. Do you really think that just because you're a little bit pretty, you can catch Fu Junheng's eye?"
His words were full of sarcasm and humiliation.
Despite the insulting words, Mu Chenshuang remained remarkably calm.
"Your Highness is merely judging others by your own petty standards. I, Mu Chenshuang, have always been open and aboveboard. If Your Highness has only come to humiliate me, then I shall take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and left, just taking a step.
"I didn't ask you to leave, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you have something to hide?"
Mu Chenshuang slightly turned her head, her eyes calm. "If I don't leave, am I supposed to stay and continue to listen to baseless insults?"
Feng Xilan frowned, staring at her with a cold gaze. "Mu Chenshuang, you better remember this: if you dare to do anything that disgraces the Crown Prince, even if you have a gold medal, I will make sure you suffer eternal damnation."
Feng Xilan spoke these words angrily, without the slightest hint of jest.
Mu Chenshuang clenched her fists under her fur coat, convinced that the biggest scumbag of the century could only belong to Feng Xilan.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will never give you the opportunity to humiliate me, nor will I give you the opportunity to abandon me."
I secretly vowed in my heart that I, Mu Chenshuang, would be the one to abandon you, and I would make sure that you, Feng Xilan, would fall into the mire.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xilan assumed that Mu Chenshuang still couldn't abandon him, and scoffed.
"Come with me to see my father. Since you're afraid I'll abandon you, you'd better kneel down and confess your sins to me later."
