"So Your Highness has let Qi Qingye go and allowed her to stay by Mu Chenshuang's side? But Your Highness, have you forgotten that his being alive is the biggest threat?" Mu Chunxi's tone was clearly anxious.
Qi Qingye has ruined so many of His Highness's plans and killed His Highness's people. He also knows His Highness's plans and is someone His Highness must kill, someone who deserves to be torn to pieces. But now His Highness has actually spared him for Mu Chenshuang's sake.
"I have my own plans for this matter. You just need to do your job."
Mu Chunxi was still somewhat unwilling, "If Your Highness wants to be with Mu Chenshuang, it may not be so easy. She is too much of a variable for Your Highness. Moreover, isn't Your Highness afraid that Qi Qingye will regain his memories and tell her what he knows?"
Fu Junheng looked at Mu Chunxi with his cold, indifferent eyes: "Chunxi, you asked too many questions today."
Mu Chunxi's pupils trembled, and she hurriedly nodded, saying, "I'm just worried that Your Highness might let personal feelings interfere with your great cause."
"I don't need anyone to remind me of what I do, especially my private matters. Don't ask too many questions."
Mu Chunxi could hear the warning and reminder in his words, and her heart clenched. "I know, I was overthinking it."
She looked up at Fu Junheng and asked, "Does Your Highness still stand on the last promise you made to me?"
Fu Junheng stared at her intently, his cold and sharp eyes seeming to see right through people.
"Since I have agreed to your request, I will keep my word."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Mu Chunxi watched the carriage leave until it disappeared around the corner. Then she looked away, a fierce glint in her eyes.
The next day.
Linglong told Mu Chenshuang about Mu Chunxi's visit to her yesterday. Seeing that Qiye had something to say, Mu Chenshuang dismissed Linglong.
What do you want to say?
Qi Ye replied, "If I'm not mistaken, that Miss Mu must know me from before."
Mu Chenshuang paused, putting down her water glass. "Do you know me?"
"Yes."
Mu Chenshuang pondered with a deep look in her eyes. Mu Chunxi had been away for so many years, supposedly traveling and studying with her master, but no one knew exactly what she had done.
If she knew Qi Ye's identity, which was already sensitive, it would be quite troublesome and detrimental to her if she were to use it.
"Just in case, it seems we need to prepare in advance and be careful around her."
"Do you need me to secretly investigate?"
Mu Chenshuang agreed, "It's best to be careful and not let her find out. You might not be her match in martial arts right now."
Although yesterday's competition was only a brief exchange, she could clearly sense that Mu Chunxi possessed formidable inner strength.
"I know."
At this moment.
People came to the palace, and the Empress Dowager summoned them.
Mu Chenshuang understood, and after changing her clothes again, she followed the eunuch into the palace.
Cining Palace.
After Mu Chenshuang paid her respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager asked her to walk with her in the courtyard. At first, they chatted about everyday things, but gradually the conversation turned to her affairs.
"I heard from His Majesty that Junheng wants to marry you, Shuang'er. I'd like to know what you think?"
Mu Chenshuang simply replied, "I don't think I can make that decision."
The Empress Dowager stopped and looked up at Mu Chenshuang. Although her eyes were cloudy, they exuded an air of majesty.
"Leaving aside whether Shuang'er can make the decision, what are you really thinking? Do you want to go back to Shengjing with Junheng?" the Empress Dowager pressed.
Mu Chenshuang met the Empress Dowager's gaze and slowly said apologetically, "If I were to answer, I fear I would be failing to live up to your previous teachings."
The Empress Dowager instantly understood the meaning behind her words, lowered her eyes and looked away, and sighed, "Shuang'er, you still have feelings for Junheng. In fact, I expected it long ago. It is very easy for a woman to fall in love with Junheng. It is only natural that you like him, Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang helped the Empress Dowager sit down carefully, and she sat opposite the Empress Dowager.
"Shuang'er, do you really think you understand Junheng?"
"It's not an easy thing to get rid of someone."
How could she not understand the Empress Dowager's words? As the future emperor, how could his mind be simple? Moreover, he was the eldest disciple from Thousand Absolute Valley, and his thoughts were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Even if he manipulated people, they might still think he was right.
She couldn't figure out what Fu Junheng was thinking.
