Fu Junheng glanced to the side, his cold, sharp gaze fixed on Feng Ji, his icy eyes seeming to pierce through him.
Feng Ji felt a lump in his throat and quickly waved his hand, "Fine, I didn't say anything."
Fu Junheng withdrew his gaze and stared intently at the woman lying on the bed. His expression was somber, and his eyes were dark and unfathomable. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking at that moment.
"Let's send her back to the Marquis's residence."
After Feng Ji finished speaking, he turned and left.
Early morning.
When Mu Chenshuang woke up groggily, she was lying in bed. She felt fine and her pulse was stable.
She supported herself with one hand and slowly sat up.
"Whatever."
He called out in his mind, but there was no response. Sui Sui had probably used up a lot of her spiritual energy last night and was still asleep.
However... she still clearly remembered that the person from last night appeared at just the right time.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly chuckled softly. With him protecting her all day long, how could she be afraid that Lu Wei would do anything to her?
Just then, Linglong entered with hot water, lifted the curtain and saw that the young lady was awake. She quickly walked over and said, "Miss, you're awake. Were you alright last night?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and said, "Nothing, what happened?"
"An assassin came to the Marquis's residence last night, but they haven't been caught yet."
Upon hearing this...
Mu Chenshuang lowered her gaze, a cold smile curving her lips.
It seems that Lu Wei didn't see her last night and guessed that someone had taken her away. In order to avoid giving himself away, he simply made a big fuss and said that an assassin had appeared in the Marquis's mansion.
She was really eager to teach her a lesson.
After washing up.
Linglong helped her with her makeup and hair. While combing her hair, Linglong suddenly asked with concern, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? You look a little pale today."
Mu Chenshuang's gaze fell on the bronze mirror. "I was poisoned last night, but I'm fine now."
Upon hearing this, Linglong's hand trembled, and she panicked for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Miss, should we ask Prince Xiaoyao to take a look at you?"
The last time the young lady had an attack was two months ago. The frequency of the poisoning was not high, but each time it was a life-threatening pain, and the imperial physicians were helpless.
Previously, when the young lady suffered from the poison, the crown prince thought she was faking her illness to gain sympathy. Now that I think about it, the crown prince really wasn't worth the young lady's sacrifice.
"No need, my poison will be cured soon, so don't worry. Just use more rouge to cover it up."
Linglong nodded in agreement. Since Miss says so, then Miss must be confident.
"That person delivered something this morning."
“Here it is. He was waiting at the gate when I went there early this morning.”
Since it was just water, Mu Chenshuang told him to just wait at the gate and not worry about Lu Wei finding out.
Linglong walked to the table, picked up the gourd, and handed it to Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took it, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Sui Sui's spiritual power has not fully recovered. Last night, she also expended energy to alleviate her pain. It seems that it will take some time before we can open the space to get the medicinal herbs. We need to think of a way to help Sui Sui recover as soon as possible.
Linglong prepared breakfast.
Mu Chenshuang ate breakfast and drank her medicine.
It was getting late, so she had to go out now.
At this moment, a maid came over. She was Yao Si, Lu Wei's personal maid. She was wearing a dark blue cotton coat, had striking features, and her eyes revealed a calm demeanor.
Yao seems to be the head maid of the Marquis's mansion. Her status in the mansion is above that of Zhang Mama. She is in charge of the servants in the mansion and her status is only second to the master of the mansion.
Yao looked at Mu Chenshuang and bowed respectfully, saying, "Princess, Madam requests your presence in the main courtyard."
Compared to Zhang Mama's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Yao seemed exceptionally calm and composed.
Mu Chenshuang looked at her coldly and said in a cold voice, "Go tell her that I don't have time right now."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she walked around the path.
Yao then said, "Princess, please wait. There was an assassination attempt at the Marquis's residence last night. The Madam is also worried about you, and the government officials have come to investigate. Please come over, Princess."
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing slightly. Lu Wei had actually reported this to the authorities. She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long while, then suddenly thought of something and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
It seems she really has to go.
