Upon hearing this, Fu Junheng looked up at her and said, "If you don't even have this much ability, how am I supposed to take you away?"
Mu Chenshuang's heart tightened. She lowered her eyes and glared at the man, urging, "Alright, get up."
Fu Junheng didn't continue to pester her.
Now, this person really treats this place as their own home. After finishing breakfast, they stayed with Mu Chenshuang for a while before leaving.
But Mu Chenshuang wouldn't let him go through the main gate, and only allowed him to leave through the back gate when the guards changed shifts.
He may not care about his reputation, but she does.
Fu Junheng went along with Mu Chenshuang's wishes. Before leaving, he simply said, "It seems I have to work harder. I can't keep doing this so secretly."
Mu Chenshuang ignored him, pushed him out, and closed the door.
Close the door.
Her hands gripped the doorknob for a long time, her trembling heart unable to calm down. Although what this man was doing was indeed annoying, she had no way to resist.
Fu Junheng stood outside the door, looking at the tightly closed door, and simply chuckled before leaving the Marquis's residence.
Mu Chenshuang returned to the room.
Qi Ye walked in, "Miss."
Mu Chenshuang looked up at her, "Something's up?"
Qiye recounted everything that happened last night in detail.
Mu Chenshuang's face darkened. "I didn't expect it to be Feng Anxue."
"The person who contacted Qingkui also said that the child in your belly, Miss, is definitely not Crown Prince Junheng's. It was clear from the conversation that the princess held a deep grudge against you. If Crown Prince Junheng knew you were pregnant, he would surely despise you."
The words were spoken in an instant.
Mu Chenshuang's hand suddenly tightened, and she lowered her eyes, her gaze dim.
How could Feng Anxue be so sure that the child was not Fu Junheng's? Was her statement merely a guess, or was there some real evidence to prove that the child belonged to someone else?
Thinking about this, her heart inexplicably felt heavy.
Qi Ye suddenly said, "Miss...do you hope this child is Crown Prince Junheng?"
Mu Chenshuang suddenly came to her senses, looked up at Qi Ye, then lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness in them, "It's come to this point, if it's not his, why won't he admit it?"
Is Fu Junheng really that fond of her, so much so that he's even willing to accept her having another man's child?
Qi Ye remained silent; he had no way to answer the question.
"Looking at it this way, perhaps we really were wrong before. The child really is that masked man, but what exactly is the relationship between Crown Prince Junheng and him?"
Mu Chenshuang closed her eyes, her gaze heavy. She couldn't figure it out either. Fu Junheng clearly had no intention of explaining to her who that person was.
He hadn't shown up before; could it be because he knew Fu Junheng was by her side?
Thinking of this, she felt a strange pang of sadness and bitterness in her heart. Could it really not be him?
Mu Chenshuang sighed softly and said, "We can only investigate this matter later. For now, we should deal with Feng Anxue. Find an opportunity to steal Qingkui's bottle of medicine today."
"yes."
But she couldn't hide her pregnancy for long, and Lord Mu was about to return to the capital, so she had to figure out a way to deal with it.
At noon, while Qingkui was busy in the kitchen, Qiye searched her room and found the bottle of medicine. He quickly left the room and returned to his study.
Mu Chenshuang took the medicine bottle, poured out the powder inside, and pinched the powder with her hand. She knew what kind of medicine it was.
"This is not an ordinary abortifacient. This drug can cause a miscarriage without leaving any trace."
"How could a princess who lives in seclusion in the palace all year round obtain such an abortifacient?" Qi Ye asked in confusion.
"It must be someone outside the palace. If I'm not mistaken, Qingkui must have stolen the dregs from Linglong's medicine."
However, the medicinal herbs used to prevent miscarriage are not those available on the market, but rather spiritual herbs taken from the Sui Sui Space. Even if all the dregs were given to the imperial physician for testing, he would only find that they were for replenishing blood and nourishing qi.
However, it was immediately recognized as a medicinal herb for preventing miscarriage.
There was only one person she could think of: Qi Zhen. It wouldn't be surprising if someone at the sect leader level of the Divine Physician Sect recognized this spiritual herb.
So, was the abortifacient given to him by Qi Zhen?
"Miss, what are you going to do next?"
Mu Chenshuang poured out all the medicine, replaced it with another type of powder, put it back into the bottle, and closed the lid. "Put this medicine back in its original place."
Qi Ye reached out and took the medicine bottle before turning and leaving the study.
It was evening.
Jing Sha suddenly came to the Marquis's residence.
Looking at her heavy expression, Mu Chenshuang realized that she had already been to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Did you see the person?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
"I saw him." He sighed and looked up. "But he still kicked me out, firmly stating that he would not like me, much less accept me. I even told him about you and Fu Junheng being together."
As they were talking.
The mirror withdrew its gaze from Mu Chenshuang's somber expression, a bitter, knowing smile curving its lips. "You're not angry, are you?"
