Fu Junheng looked up at her and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"Knowing he would offend the Imperial Observatory, wouldn't the Prince of Xiaoyao leave himself a way out?"
Zhu Qin must already hold a grudge against Feng Ji, and will definitely have people closely monitoring his whereabouts. If there is even the slightest disturbance, Zhu Qin can put a big accusation against him in front of the emperor.
Fu Junheng placed a dish in her bowl and replied, "You don't need to worry about his affairs."
Mu Chenshuang stared intently at him, asking in a serious tone, "Is Crown Prince Junheng really only here to recuperate?"
Fu Junheng raised his eyes, his deep golden pupils unfathomable. "I came here to recuperate before, but now it's not just for recuperation."
As he spoke, his gaze towards Mu Chenshuang grew increasingly intense.
Mu Chenshuang's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and stared at him. His words made her unsure how to ask any more questions, so she simply stopped asking. After all, it would be pointless to ask anyway, and he wouldn't give her a direct answer.
Mu Chenshuang ate her meal quietly.
Fu Junheng didn't say anything more.
After dinner.
"Can we go now?" Mu Chenshuang suddenly asked.
Fu Junheng leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed and carefree. He gazed out the window, his taut jawline appearing even more resolute and captivating, a perfect proportion as if sculpted by the hand of God. He parted his thin lips slightly, and a deep, slow voice escaped his lips as he said, "I'll rest here tonight."
Mu Chenshuang tensed up, staring at him. "What do you mean?"
Fu Junheng withdrew his gaze, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said, "So nervous, are you thinking I might do something to you? Of course, I wouldn't mind if you did."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang's face instantly turned cold.
Fu Junheng looked at her face, which turned cold in an instant. He knew what her attitude would be, but he couldn't help but want to say something teasing. He then suppressed his amused smile and said, "This is a sacred Buddhist place. I am not so ignorant as to not know my place. I just want to rest for one night."
Mu Chenshuang kept a sullen face, didn't ask any more questions, and didn't insist on leaving. Even if she insisted on leaving, who knows what kind of domineering and unreasonable things this man might do.
It's good to rest in a temple; it's peaceful.
night.
Fu Junheng sat by the window, quietly drinking tea. The flickering candlelight illuminated the man's handsome figure, giving him an indescribable air of lonely nobility.
Mu Chenshuang lay on the bed to rest, but she couldn't fall asleep. As she turned over, she could vaguely see a man sitting in a chair through the curtains.
Instantly.
Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed, a palpitation that made her uneasy and anxious.
The man slowly stood up and started walking towards the door. He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
Mu Chenshuang noticed his movements and felt a sudden tightness in her chest. Even though she couldn't see his expression, she could still feel his gaze on her.
Just when she thought he would walk straight over, she heard the door close.
When she opened her eyes again, the room was empty; Fu Junheng had left.
She stared blankly at the empty room for a long while, a sudden, inexplicable sense of loneliness rising in her heart. However, when she realized this absurd palpitation, her expression instantly turned cold, and she cursed herself inwardly for what she was thinking.
I suddenly rolled over, trying to calm my agitated mind.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but just after she had finally calmed down, the door opened again.
Mu Chenshuang lay motionless, instinctively clutching the blanket tightly.
At this moment.
A refreshing fragrance wafted into my nose; it was a calming incense.
So when he went out to find calming incense, he knew she wasn't asleep?
Whether it was the calming incense or something else, her heart gradually calmed down, drowsiness overcame her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
In a daze, Mu Chenshuang felt a blinding light and slowly opened her eyes, her eyelids trembling. Facing the sudden halo of light, Mu Chenshuang blinked her eyes half-open. Before she was fully awake, she heard a deep, magnetic male voice above her say, "You're awake."
Mu Chenshuang jolted awake, abruptly raising her head and staring wide-eyed at the man before her.
At this moment, she was held in the man's arms, wrapped tightly in a fox fur coat. Even though the cold wind blew across her cheeks, she could not feel the slightest bit of coldness. All she felt was the continuous warmth emanating from the man.
Shocked, Mu Chenshuang subconsciously turned around, and the scene before her eyes amazed her.
