Fu Junheng slowly raised his hand, his fingers tracing the strands of hair that fell across the woman's chest, and slowly said, "The assassin from that night."
Mu Chenshuang frowned and looked up at him. "So you found out who was in the palace who was helping the assassin?"
Fu Junheng replied, "Hong Tian is in charge of the right side of the North Palace Gate."
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback.
"On the night of the Imperial Noble Consort's birthday, a fire broke out in Dongxiang Courtyard, and the Imperial Guards on the route to the east gate of Cining Palace were dispatched to put out the fire."
Mu Chenshuang pondered, no wonder there were no Imperial Guards guarding that section of the road at that time.
"But this is easy to investigate. The fact that Hong Tian dispatched the Imperial Guards at the time doesn't prove anything unless there are records of his dealings with the assassins. Besides, I have no grudge against Hong Tian and we don't know each other. I'm afraid there's someone behind him, like Feng Anxue?"
"Indeed, it is inextricably linked to Feng Anxue."
“But how could a princess from the inner palace possibly know assassins from the martial arts world?” Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes in deep thought.
"Since people from the martial arts world have already infiltrated the palace, they will naturally find an opportunity to give her a hint."
Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed, she raised her eyes to stare at him, and said in a raised voice, "In the end, Feng Anxue hates me so much because of you. So you have to take half the responsibility for me being framed."
Fu Junheng's phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips as he said, "How can it be half the responsibility? It must be the whole responsibility."
Mu Chenshuang knew perfectly well what he meant. She withdrew her gaze, stood up, and left his embrace, saying seriously, "Was it Qi Zhen who helped her contact the assassin?"
Qi Zhen is the sect leader of the Divine Doctor Sect, so how could he be involved with assassins from the martial arts world? But he must have made some kind of deal with Feng Anxue, otherwise he wouldn't have helped her.
"We believe we will soon find out who is behind this."
Mu Chenshuang looked at him, "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Fu Junheng's eyes were deep and his lips curled into a wicked smile. "It still needs to be confirmed."
"You're not going to tell me."
"We'll talk about it once we've confirmed it."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him, "Do you know what would happen if I told you all this and then told your uncle about it?"
Fu Junheng was able to investigate Hong Tian in such a short time, so he must have informants in the palace. If Feng Guche knew that Fu Junheng knew so much, he would probably send him back to Shengjing without hesitation.
Fu Junheng remained calm, leaning against the side of the bed. His languid and alluring posture was captivating. His phoenix eyes were sharp as he leisurely looked at Mu Chenshuang. "Because I know you won't tell, Shuang'er."
"If you ever push me too far, do you think I'll report you?"
Fu Junheng chuckled softly, stood up and walked behind Mu Chenshuang, wrapped his arms around her waist, and nodded to her ear. His hot breath fell on her skin, and Mu Chenshuang felt a shiver run through her body and her nerves tighten.
"So, I should treat Shuang'er even better now, since you have something on me now." The tone was teasing and playful.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and said in a serious tone, "You've already forcibly dragged me into your camp."
Fu Junheng tightened his grip on Mu Chenshuang's arms, his voice low and husky as he said, "Shuang'er, you are destined to belong to me." His tone was domineering and possessive.
Mu Chenshuang remained silent and did not reply.
"Are you planning to wait for me to leave before you leave?"
A glint of malice flashed in Fu Junheng's golden eyes. "Otherwise what?"
