Fu Junheng held the woman in his arms like this.
"Alright, it's time to go," Mu Chenshuang urged.
Fu Junheng then released her, took her hand and left. After noon, he escorted her back to the Marquis's residence.
When Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence, she saw Linglong sitting on a bench in the courtyard, absentmindedly drying medicinal herbs. She called out, "Linglong."
Linglong suddenly came to her senses and almost knocked over the herb winnowing basket in front of her. She quickly reached out to steady it, and Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
Linglong put the winnowing basket back in its place and forced a smile. "Miss, I'm fine."
How could Mu Chenshuang possibly see through her thoughts? "Did you have a falling out with Qi Ye?"
Linglong bit her lip lightly and quickly lowered her eyes, "We didn't have any conflict."
"What did you talk about last night?" Mu Chenshuang asked in a soft voice.
Linglong's cheeks flushed crimson at the thought of last night. Hearing her mistress's gentle voice, an overwhelming sense of grievance welled up inside her, and she said angrily, "I never imagined he was such a scoundrel! How could I..."
Linglong almost blurted it out, but instinctively shut her mouth, her heart pounding wildly.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and continued her words, "How could you like him!"
Linglong opened her mouth to deny it, but how could she hide it from her young mistress? Her young mistress must have already figured it out. So she simply lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and bit her lip without denying it.
"It's normal for you to like him. After all, Qi Ye is quite handsome, and everyone is attracted to beauty."
Linglong lowered her head and said irritably, "But I will never like him again." Her tone was unusually firm.
Mu Chenshuang could roughly guess what was going on, so she didn't press her for details. Instead, she raised her hand and patted her shoulder, saying, "Everything will pass. Do more things that make you happy."
She herself was having a rough time in her love life, so she really couldn't offer any better advice to Linglong.
Linglong nodded and hummed in agreement.
Where is he now?
"He should be in the room!"
Mu Chenshuang comforted Linglong with a few words, then left the study to get something before going to her room to find Qiye.
Pushing open the door, she saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed. Mu Chenshuang could clearly feel the unusual change in the energy flow around him, which was much stronger than usual. It was obvious that the acupuncture treatment last night had taken effect.
Qi Ye calmed his breath, opened his eyes and saw Mu Chenshuang standing in front of him. He put his legs down and stood up. "Miss, did you need something from me?"
His tone was no different from usual.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, "How are you feeling now?"
Qi Ye replied, "I feel a force surging within me."
"That should be the internal energy that originally belonged to you."
Seven nights of amnesia, and at the same time, half of his internal energy was lost.
"It seems you should have some recollection of what happened before."
Qi Ye hummed in agreement, "But they are still vague images; I still can't remember the specifics."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him, then said, "You'll remember slowly."
Qi Ye's eyes were dark as he nodded. "Miss wanted to see me about something."
“There is indeed something to discuss.” Mu Chenshuang walked to the tea table and placed the blueprints on it, opening them. “Go to Yinzhou and help me choose a house there and recruit some warriors. Go and see the places I marked on the blueprints in person, and then choose the one you like best.”
Qi Ye's gaze fell on several places marked on the map. Three of them were located in the mountains and rivers, and they looked like very suitable places for health and relaxation.
"Miss plans to go to Yinzhou."
Yinzhou is located in the southwest, surrounded by mountains, making it a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As Qi Ye spoke, he suddenly seemed to understand something. His gaze unconsciously swept over Mu Chen Shuang's lower abdomen, and then he said, "Then when should I set off?"
"I will give you another acupuncture treatment tonight, and we will set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Qi Ye understood and didn't ask any more questions. "Yes, Miss, you must take good care of yourself while I'm away."
"Don't worry, at least for now the Marquis's residence is safe."
Qi Ye hummed in agreement. At least with Crown Prince Jun Heng around, Miss should be alright.
