A faint smile played on Feng Anxue's lips, but a sinister coldness lurked deep within her dark eyes.
"This pastry is still warm; it won't taste the same if it gets cold."
Feng Anxue's polite and gentle attitude actually carried an aggressive air, leaving no reason for anyone to refute him.
"Or does Princess Weiyang have some other reason?" she asked meaningfully.
Mu Chenshuang raised her crimson lips slightly and said calmly, "In that case, this humble woman should try it; I cannot waste the princess's good intentions."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pastry from the plate.
Feng Anxue stared intently as Mu Chenshuang ate bite by bite, the smile on her lips growing increasingly sinister.
Mu Chenshuang finished the entire pastry, then slowly wiped her lips with a handkerchief, her posture dignified and elegant.
"These pastries are indeed more delicious than any I've ever had before. Thank you for your hospitality, Princess."
"If Princess Weiyang is pleased, that's good."
Feng Anxue withdrew her gaze and looked into the distance. Now she was just waiting for Mu Chenshuang's pregnancy to start.
Linglong poured Mu Chenshuang a glass of water and asked in a low, worried voice, "Miss, are you feeling alright?"
Princess Anxue was clearly forcing her mistress to eat it, so there must be something wrong with the pastry.
Mu Chenshuang looked unconcerned, her expression calm and composed. She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and said lightly, "I'm fine."
Although Linglong was worried, since her mistress said everything was alright, then nothing must be wrong.
However, after the second round of written tests, Feng Anxue saw that Mu Chenshuang was calm and focused without any reaction, and her face immediately darkened. She looked up at Lu Hua beside her, and Lu Hua panicked. She lowered her head and whispered in the princess's ear to assure her, "Princess, I am sure that the medicine was added. I checked it repeatedly before it was delivered, and there is no problem."
Princess Weiyang hasn't reacted yet. Could it be that her pregnancy is fake?
But how could that be? How could the people of the Divine Doctor Sect make a wrong judgment?
Feng Anxue lowered her eyes, her gaze dark and gloomy. If that was the case, why hadn't Mu Chenshuang reacted yet? Her mood began to grow increasingly agitated.
He lowered his voice and ordered, "Send someone to find Sect Leader Qi immediately."
This medicine came from Qi Zhen. How could there be anything wrong with his medicine? Either Mu Chenshuang isn't pregnant, or there's something fishy about her.
"yes."
After receiving the order, Lu Hua quietly withdrew.
Mu Chenshuang seemed to be looking into the distance with nothing to do, but her attention was always on Feng Anxue. How could she not know what Feng Anxue was up to?
In the second round, Wei Xu successfully advanced to the third round. If he can advance to the fourth round, he can compete for the top three spots.
Everyone present was quite surprised by Wei Xu's advancement. Everyone knew that the Crown Prince of Wei was a good-for-nothing who didn't know anything, so how come he was so good at composing poetry?
"I heard that Prince Wei has instructed his son to study under Princess Weiyang. Princess Weiyang is a female general, yet she is skilled in poetry and prose, and has even taught his son to write poetry," a disciple from a noble family suddenly said, his words laced with sarcasm towards Wei Xu.
With the decline of the Wei Prince's Mansion, anyone could take a kick at it.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Mu Chenshuang.
“Young master, you misunderstand. I am not skilled in poetry or prose; it is merely the result of Prince Wei’s own efforts.”
A young lady from a prominent family chimed in, "Previously, Young Master Wei was close to Miss Mu the Third and pursued her wholeheartedly. Miss Mu the Second was the most talented woman in the capital, so Miss Mu the Third must have been no less talented. It must have been during that time that Miss Mu the Third tutored Young Master Wei. But I don't know why he turned around and became close to Princess Weiyang?"
This sarcastic remark inevitably leads people to speculate that Mu Chenshuang is trying to sow discord between Mu Yazhi and Prince Wei.
