Feng Ji continued, "I have some matters that I need to discuss with Crown Prince Junheng in person. I will ride as fast as I can to the border of Xiyue Kingdom. By the time I return from there, the current chaotic situation in Tianzhao Kingdom may also come to an end."
These words startled Mu Chenshuang, giving her a strong, indescribable feeling.
"What is it?" Mu Chenshuang asked subconsciously, but then realized that this matter sounded very important and that Feng Ji probably wouldn't tell her.
As expected, Feng Ji smiled slightly and reassured Mu Chenshuang, "The princess knows that before Crown Prince Junheng left, he specifically instructed me to take good care of her safety. Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to tell you about these things that are not yet certain."
“Princess, there is no need to worry. Crown Prince Junheng would never act rashly without a sure chance of victory.” Feng Ji lowered his eyes indifferently. He was also tired of his current life and wanted to end this chaotic situation as soon as possible.
Concealing the sorrow in her eyes, Feng Ji looked up at Mu Chen Shuang with a slight smile, "Wouldn't it be better if the princess met Jun Heng in the future, and he told you all these things himself?"
Mu Chenshuang couldn't refute Feng Ji's words. It was unlikely to be an easy matter. Indeed, before everything was settled, there was no need to ask too many questions. This was probably their tacit understanding.
Mu Chenshuang nodded silently, acknowledging Feng Ji's words and not asking any further questions.
The once clear sky was suddenly filled with large, dark clouds, instantly turning the large flower hall from bright to quite dark.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at the outside and thought to herself that it might rain soon, so it wasn't suitable to stay any longer. She got up and said goodbye.
Feng Ji did not try to stop her, but simply had a maid bring Mu Chenshuang an oil-paper umbrella.
Feng Ji took the oil-paper umbrella from the maid and walked towards Mu Chenshuang. He personally handed the umbrella to her and looked at her solemnly, saying, "The weather is about to change, Princess, please be careful on your journey."
Mu Chenshuang understood his implication, nodded, and silently accepted the oil-paper umbrella.
"And..." Feng Ji saw Mu Chenshuang turn around, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly raised his voice and said, "Although it is inconvenient for me to tell the princess the truth about the relationship between Mu Chunxi and Crown Prince Junheng, there is something I would like to remind the princess of."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang stopped and turned to look at him.
"The fact that the princess came to inquire about this matter today must mean that she has noticed my hostility towards her, right?" Feng Ji sighed silently. Mu Chunxi's hostility towards Mu Chenshuang had reached a point where it was no longer concealed, which was something he had not expected at first.
He truly hadn't expected that Fu Junheng's cold-heartedness towards Mu Chunxi would cause her to make a wrong step, which would likely become a problem for her in the future.
“That’s true. Let’s just say it’s because she loves Crown Prince Junheng but can’t have him. But she’s quite skilled, so the princess still needs to be careful.” Feng Ji relented. He really could only reveal so much about the relationship between Mu Chunxi and Fu Junheng.
These words startled Mu Chenshuang, and her heart sank slowly, but there was also a sense of understanding in her eyes.
Her guess was right, but her conversation with Feng Ji today made her realize that even if Fu Junheng didn't like Mu Chunxi, their relationship was definitely more than that.
Unfortunately, Feng Ji refused to tell her, and she could only learn the secret behind it from Fu Junheng or Mu Chunxi later.
"I understand, thank you." Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, but her gaze turned noticeably colder.
