Mu Chenshuang bent down and picked up the little thing. It looked like a cat, with a pair of elf ears, and was clearly a young creature.
"Sui Sui, is it really you? How did you change like this?"
Sui Sui is the spirit beast that accompanied her in the divine realm. Since she descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations, Sui Sui should have stayed in the divine realm.
Sui Sui looked at its master with teary eyes and said in a childish voice, "Sui Sui descended to the mortal world to find its master. Due to the distortion of time and space, its spiritual power was destroyed, and it had no choice but to turn back into a child. Its soul was attached to this ginseng and it has been sleeping for thousands of years. When it woke up, it was going to be taken away and offered up. Sui Sui thought it would really be eaten, but it didn't expect that Sui Sui could sense its master's aura."
"So you released your spiritual power so I could sense you?"
Sui Sui nodded and said happily, "Yes, Sui Sui knew that Master would definitely be able to find me."
At this moment.
Mu Chenshuang heard a noise coming from outside the door.
The next second.
The illusory world before her eyes returned to normal, and Sui Sui was gone, as was the dragon blood ginseng in the box.
"Sui Sui?" Mu Chenshuang asked nervously.
All she heard was Sui Sui's voice in her mind, "Master, don't worry, Sui Sui is now inside you. If you need any help, you can summon Sui Sui anytime. But Master, your body is in such poor condition right now."
"Hmm, I've been poisoned and lost my internal energy. Do you have a way to help me recover?"
"Although Sui Sui's spiritual power is insufficient, it is enough to help Master detoxify. However, it may not be possible now. In order to let Master sense Sui Sui, too much spiritual power was released just now. After I sleep for a while, I will be able to detoxify Master."
"Okay, then you should rest first."
With Sui Sui's words, Mu Chenshuang felt much more relaxed and secure; she was finally not alone anymore.
At this moment.
The noise outside the door grew louder and louder.
Mu Chenshuang walked quickly to the door and saw through the crack that a group of people were walking quickly toward her.
Upon seeing this.
Mu Chenshuang turned and escaped through the window, leaving along the path behind the medicine storehouse. When she arrived at the front courtyard of the Imperial Household Department, she hid behind a rockery and found that there were already guards at the gate, but suddenly four more guards appeared.
Imperial guards also came and went.
Why did the Imperial Household Department suddenly declare martial law at this time?
Even if the theft of the dragon blood ginseng was discovered, there wouldn't be such a swift action; this is clearly an early detection of the Imperial Household Department's abnormality.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly felt uneasy.
They must have discovered the theft of the dragon blood ginseng by now.
She needed to find a way to get away as soon as possible. Looking up and around at the high walls and courtyards, she noticed a lush camphor tree next to the wall.
He was turning to leave.
A series of hurried footsteps could be heard from both sides of the road.
Sudden.
A figure appeared before her like a ghost.
Mu Chenshuang was astonished when she saw the person who appeared before her.
"Walk!"
The next second.
A familiar force came from his waist, and then he was carried directly to the second floor. Using his light-footed skill, he flew away without a trace, and the two figures disappeared from the Imperial Household Department, almost unnoticed by anyone.
Fu Junheng silently withdrew his hand from the woman's waist.
Mu Chenshuang also took two steps back, creating distance between them, and gave a slight curtsy, "Thank you for saving me, Crown Prince Junheng."
She then looked up at Fu Junheng, whose cold and indifferent face, and whose eyes, hidden behind a black veil, were unfathomable.
"May I ask why Crown Prince Junheng has suddenly appeared at the Imperial Household Department?"
Fu Junheng stood with one hand behind his back, shifted his body to the side to avoid the woman's cold and suspicious gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Ji is right, the Crown Princess really did have designs on the Dragon Blood Ginseng."
As they were talking.
Fu Junheng stepped through the snow and walked towards the covered bridge.
Mu Chenshuang was stunned. Feng Ji took her pulse and knew her condition. It was understandable that she was poisoned.
But he was so certain that she would risk her life to steal the Dragon Blood Ginseng that he even asked Fu Junheng to protect her safety.
Who is Fu Junheng?
He is the future emperor of the Western Moon Kingdom, with an extremely noble status. Even Feng Guche dotes on him.
How could he agree to Feng Ji's request?
Regardless of whether the two were deeply in love, Feng Ji always granted his requests.
But there's definitely something wrong with Feng Ji protecting her to this extent.
Seeing Fu Junheng walking further and further away, Mu Chenshuang quickly followed.
"What merits does Shen Shuang possess to warrant such protection from the Prince of Xiaoyao, and even the personal rescue by Crown Prince Junheng? I am truly flattered. Does Crown Prince Junheng know whether I stole the Dragon Blood Ginseng today?"
Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes to look at the man who had been cold-faced from beginning to end.
Fu Junheng did not stop walking. When he reached the steps, he deliberately slowed down a little.
"Martial law has been declared at the Imperial Household Department. The Crown Princess has probably already obtained the dragon blood ginseng."
"This thousand-year-old dragon blood ginseng is a sacred item among sacred items. It is a good thing for prolonging life for Crown Prince Junheng's uncle. Does Crown Prince Junheng's rescue mean that he has gone against his own loving uncle and protected me, an outsider?"
Mu Chenshuang asked in a cool and elegant tone.
"The Crown Princess knows perfectly well what's going on, why ask me further?" Fu Junheng replied coldly.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly smiled, "Crown Prince Junheng would certainly not protect a complete stranger like me for no reason. Judging from this, Crown Prince Junheng and Prince Xiaoyao are indeed exceptionally close. I wonder if Prince Xiaoyao's protection of me will displease Crown Prince Junheng?"
The only reason she could think of for Fu Junheng to protect her was that he would always grant Feng Ji's requests.
Although all signs pointed to an unusual relationship between the two, she needed to confirm it.
Sudden.
Fu Junheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
