Mu Chenshuang strode away quickly.
Fu Junheng followed.
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks, looked up at him, and said unhappily, "What is Crown Prince Junheng doing?"
Fu Junheng explained unhurriedly, "I just wanted to go to the palace to see if Princess Weiyang's matter had been resolved. Now that I see it, there's nothing wrong, so I don't need to see my uncle anymore."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang's anger gradually subsided. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Fu Junheng had helped her this time, so why should she be so petty about such a small matter? In the end, she hadn't suffered any loss.
If she continues to be angry, it's just making her act too dramatic.
After thinking about it this way, I felt much calmer.
"I owe Crown Prince Junheng another favor."
Fu Junheng glanced at her and could clearly feel that her anger had suddenly dissipated; it really did come and go quickly.
"If Princess Weiyang can cure me, what is this little favor? In the end, I will owe Princess Weiyang a favor."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more, "I will do my best."
The two left together.
"You've decided to attend the banquet?" Fu Junheng suddenly asked.
Mu Chenshuang replied, "It's alright to go."
Fu Junheng glanced at her sideways, then looked away without asking any further questions.
Meanwhile, on the corridor opposite the lotus pond, stood a beautiful figure. From a distance, it appeared that Fu Junheng had taken the initiative to approach Mu Chenshuang, but Mu Chenshuang was resisting.
Many women longed to receive Fu Junheng's attention, even just a glance.
But he was aloof and wouldn't approach any women, not even giving them a chance to talk to them.
As a princess favored by her father, she repeatedly tried to speak with him, at least to let him know who she was.
But she was repeatedly thwarted, and on one occasion she was even threatened with a knife by one of his guards. After that, she was terrified, but also unwilling to give up.
Why should Mu Chenshuang, a divorced woman, be favored by him? The scene was so stimulating that her heart almost broke, and she couldn't hide the burning anger in her eyes.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Vixen."
The clenched fingers were so tight they looked like they were about to tear the cuffs apart.
"You just wait."
...
After seeing Princess Jinhua off, Lu Wei went to Consort Ling's palace.
“Zhang Mama took the blame for you, Madam Lu. It seems she is truly loyal to you. Mu Chenshuang used to be completely fooled by you, but now she has lost an arm. Madam Lu, you underestimated your enemy.”
Consort Ling changed her usual quiet demeanor, and looked at Lu Wei with a more arrogant gaze.
Zhang Mama's death was a good thing for her. She hadn't wanted Zhang Mama to live before, since the Sixth Prince could only have one mother. Her birth mother's survival in this world was a crisis for her. However, Lu Wei had protected Zhang Mama back then.
"But I'm very curious, since Zhang Mama didn't confess even after being tortured, what method did Princess Weiyang use to make her confess so easily?"
When Consort Ling asked this question, she suddenly thought of something, her hand clenched tightly, her pupils widened, and fear and unease flickered in her eyes.
"Could it be..."
Lu Wei slowly said, "Consort Ling guessed correctly. Mu Chenshuang probably knows the secret between Zhang Mama and Consort Ling."
She knew very well what kind of person Zhang Mama was, and she would never dare to reveal the truth. There was only one way to get her to confess.
The words were spoken.
Consort Ling's face instantly darkened.
"Mu Chenshuang actually found out."
As she spoke, a murderous intent even seeped into her eyes. She raised her eyes to stare at Lu Wei and said sharply, "Didn't Madam Lu say that she would never let a fourth person know about this? How did she find out?"
Lu Wei replied calmly, "Granny Zhang has been arrested and taken to the Court of Justice. The people there probably found something in her room, but that's not the most important thing right now. What's important is that the Sixth Prince's identity has been discovered by the most dangerous person."
These words made Consort Ling's heart clench, and her expression turned fearful.
"But today, Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything, nor did she continue to correct you."
"It was the best choice for her not to point it out, because she wasn't entirely sure she could succeed. If she failed to report it, it would only put her in danger and even anger the Emperor. So she was quite smart; letting it go was the best option."
As Lu Wei spoke, her eyes were filled with hatred.
"When did Mu Chenshuang become so calculating? But we absolutely cannot let her report this, Madam Lu. You must resolve this matter properly. If necessary, it would be best to eliminate any future troubles."
Lingfei's tone was filled with murderous intent.
"From now on, Consort Ling needs to spend more time with His Majesty and earn his absolute trust. The Emperor's trust is the strongest guarantee."
She used to worry that vying for the emperor's favor would expose the sixth prince to the enemy's sight, so she tried to avoid getting involved in the struggle.
But now that Mu Chenshuang knows the Sixth Prince's identity, a crisis is quietly forming, and she really should take action.
"I know."
