"Thank you, Father." Before Lord Mu could finish speaking, Mu Chenshuang thanked him with delight.
Looking into Mu Chenshuang's bright and intelligent eyes, Lord Mu didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
With the current political turmoil and the Marquis of Jingbian's residence at the center of the storm, it is truly a precarious situation where every step is difficult.
"You can do whatever you want, but remember to be careful and discreet, and don't be reckless or act on your own." Marquis Mu, who was about to get up and leave, couldn't help but stand with his hands behind his back, turn around and solemnly give Mu Chenshuang a few words of advice.
Mu Chenshuang nodded hurriedly after the restraints were lifted. At least Lord Mu was willing to set her free, so she could pretend to be obedient for a while.
As soon as Lord Mu left, Mu Chenshuang's beautiful eyes immediately lost their smile and became firm and sharp.
Indeed, there were still many things waiting for her to do, and now that Lord Mu was willing to lift her confinement, she felt as if she had been freed from all constraints.
As for keeping a low profile, she naturally does so, but no matter how discreetly she tries to do what she wants, there will probably still be people secretly monitoring her every move.
But if she wants to succeed, she can't keep looking back and shrinking back. If she can accomplish what she wants to do before she gets schemed against, that will be enough for her.
At this point, speed and courage are paramount when competing with those who are secretly stirring up trouble and plotting to control the situation.
Linglong, who brought in hot water, saw Mu Chenshuang sitting steadily at the table, exuding an aura of respect and awe. She knew that Mu Chenshuang was pondering important matters and did not dare to disturb her, so she prepared to quietly leave.
But Mu Chenshuang still heard her very light footsteps. Coming back to her senses, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and her expression softened a little.
She turned around and said, "Bring it in."
"Oh." Linglong's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around happily to help Mu Chenshuang wash her face and hands until she changed into her undergarments and lay down on the bed.
The sheer bed curtains slowly fell, and a faint, bean-like light still shone in the room.
After Linglong left, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but take the jade pendant that Fu Junheng had left behind before he left and gently caressed it.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes were filled with tenderness and longing. Although matters of state were more important to her than personal feelings, she also allowed herself to simply immerse herself in the deep affection that Fu Junheng gave her.
After gazing at it for an unknown amount of time, Mu Chenshuang gently pressed the jade pendant against her heart, feeling the cool touch of the jade with her own passionate and powerful heartbeat.
Fu Junheng has been away from the capital for several days now, and by now he should be in the territory of Sheng Kingdom.
It's just unknown what Fu Junheng will encounter in Shengguo and Shengjing next.
Will he be betrothed by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor? Will he forget himself amidst the beautiful women surrounding him?
Thinking of this, Mu Chenshuang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her chest felt heavy and oppressive.
The cool touch of the fine jade pendant seemed to spread throughout her body, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Mu Chenshuang frowned in annoyance, realizing that she couldn't lose sight of her original intentions and couldn't be completely bewitched by Fu Junheng's good looks.
After regaining her restrained calm and aloofness, Mu Chenshuang casually stuffed the jade pendant that Fu Junheng had left behind under her pillow, pressed the pillow down hard, and then pulled up the covers to go to sleep.
Although the night was long and sleepless, Mu Chenshuang eventually fell into a deep sleep after tossing and turning several times.
