Before she knew it, it was the eve of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Mu Chenshuang tossed and turned, feeling uneasy all the while.
Just as she was losing her composure, Sui Sui's voice rang out.
"Master, what's wrong? Sui Sui can sense that Master's emotions are fluctuating a lot, and you seem a little irritable and restless. If this continues, it will affect the baby in your belly."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang could only sigh softly.
Seeing that Mu Chenshuang did not answer, Sui Sui immediately spoke in a cheerful voice, as if to reassure Mu Chenshuang, "But Master, don't worry. Sui Sui has already used spiritual power to alleviate the discomfort caused by your emotional fluctuations and has also used spiritual power to protect the baby. Everything will be alright."
Mu Chenshuang naturally believed that Sui Sui could do it and was not worried about her own health.
Now the baby in her womb has stabilized, and she no longer needs to drink that bitter pregnancy-preserving medicine every day.
She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, her thoughts shifting from the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet to her unborn child, and her emotions calmed down considerably.
Unconsciously, Fu Junheng's otherworldly and peerless face reappeared in Mu Chenshuang's mind.
She had indeed fallen for him to an almost uncontrollable degree, but the last vestige of her rationality made her feel complicated when she thought of Fu Junheng.
Fu Junheng's attitude towards her pregnancy was ambiguous from beginning to end. She could tell that Fu Junheng really didn't care who the father of the child was.
But she always felt that something was amiss. Given Fu Junheng's strong possessiveness towards her, if the child's biological father really was someone else, how could Fu Junheng have remained so calm?
Moreover, I was so busy treating the Empress Dowager and providing free medical consultations that I almost neglected something very important.
That is, ever since Fu Junheng left the capital of Tianzhao Kingdom and returned to Xiyue Kingdom, the masked man in black who had appeared with Fu Junheng before, the child's biological father, has never appeared again.
The perceptive Mu Chenshuang absolutely refused to believe that such a coincidence could actually happen in the world.
She still firmly believed that the child in her womb was definitely related to Fu Junheng.
But thinking about it like that, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
If the child is indeed Fu Junheng's, and Fu Junheng has already been intimate with her, being her closest person, yet he still refuses to be honest with her.
Ultimately, Fu Junheng may have been constrained by his status and position, and he never truly opened up to her. In turn, she could sense this distance and found it difficult to fully trust Fu Junheng.
Thinking that although she and Fu Junheng were passionate and fiery in their relationship and had accepted each other, they lacked trust deep down, her mind became delicate and pessimistic, and she began to worry about their future.
That night, Mu Chenshuang was in a daze and didn't know how she fell asleep.
The next morning, Linglong was busy preparing Mu Chenshuang's palace attire, while Honghua was combing Mu Chenshuang's hair.
"Miss, please wear this outfit today." Honghua held up a light yellow top and skirt with feathers, which looked very light and airy.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at it slightly, her bright eyes sweeping over it before rejecting it. She said indifferently, "The simple blue ruqun next to it, it looks more dignified."
Upon hearing this, Honghua immediately went to change her hair. Linglong combed her hair and exchanged a glance with Mu Chenshuang in the bronze mirror.
"Miss, do you like your hairstyle today?" Linglong knew that Mu Chenshuang was going to make a big move when she entered the palace today, so she was extra cautious in her words and actions because of her worries.
