"So what if she's a princess? What's rightfully mine, why should it be in someone else's hands?"
"You little brat, am I just a stranger? We're in this together, we share the same fate, how can you turn your back on me like this?"
Seeing that Feng Ji still wanted to act shamelessly, Mu Chenshuang simply put the small box into the pouch at her waist.
"Alright, I've accepted the things. If he doesn't have anything else for you to give me, you can leave."
Mu Chenshuang spoke without any expression on her face.
Feng Ji stood there stunned once again.
"Are we still allies? Why are you talking like that? I didn't do anything to you today, did I?"
Mu Chenshuang's expression finally softened a bit.
"I was being too sensitive. It has nothing to do with you. The Empress needs to send more people to keep an eye on things. I don't have that much ability to persuade someone with just a few words."
"But I think Her Majesty the Empress has already recovered, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
Feng Ji looked at Mu Chenshuang, wanting to hear her opinion.
"Why make a big fuss about secretly watching? Do you think everything has to be done on the surface?"
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words, Feng Ji suddenly came to his senses.
Feng Ji slapped his forehead, feeling ashamed of himself once again.
Meanwhile, news of the Empress's fainting had already reached Feng Guche's palace.
At this moment, Feng Guche is playing chess with Cang Xixue.
A young eunuch rushed in to report that the Empress had fainted, and Feng Guche immediately narrowed his eyes.
A hint of doubt lingered in his sharp gaze.
In front of Cang Xixue, Feng Guche made no attempt to hide his thoughts, including his disgust for Shen Biyun.
So, as soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, Feng Guche revealed a cold smile.
"Understood, you may leave now."
After listening to the conversation, Xiao Tai immediately withdrew, and Feng Guche picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it on the chessboard.
"Xue'er, now you're completely cornered."
Seeing that the black pieces had cornered the white pieces with no way out, Cang Xixue shook her head with a smile and decided to ruin the whole game.
"How can you do this? You're a classic example of someone who can't accept defeat."
Feng Guche spoke words of reproach, but there was no reproach on his face. Moreover, Feng Guche's gaze towards Cang Xixue was full of tenderness.
Cang Xixue smiled sweetly at Feng Guche, "So what if I can't accept defeat?"
Feng Guche waved his hand and pushed all the chess pieces on the board to the ground, then pulled Cang Xixue into his arms.
"Whether you can afford to lose or not doesn't matter. With me by your side, you don't need to be afraid of anything..."
Just as Feng Guche finished speaking, Cang Xixue's body suddenly trembled violently, and her expression became tense.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?"
Feng Guche looked worried as he carefully examined Cang Xixue in front of him.
Cang Xixue frowned slightly and slowly began to speak.
"Your Majesty, I am worried and anxious all day long."
Just moments ago, Cang Xixue was all smiles, but in the blink of an eye, her face turned serious.
Feng Guche asked again.
"Xue'er, has something happened?"
Cang Xixue lowered her eyes, and finally, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, she raised her head to look at Feng Guche.
"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay popular for a hundred days. Your Majesty, I worry that one day I will also be sent to the Cold Palace. When that happens, I will certainly not end up like the Empress."
