Mu Chunxi looked at Feng Moran with a firm gaze and said, "As long as the Second Prince is willing, I can do things for the Second Prince."
The words were spoken.
"Oh? Tell me your conditions?" Feng Moran raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, seemingly curious, but inwardly sneering.
"I have only one condition: if the Second Prince succeeds in his great cause, I will decide the fate of Mu Chenshuang."
Feng Mo Ran looked at the woman sitting still in the spot, a hint of disdain showing between his long, narrow, and effeminate eyebrows.
This woman was neither loyal nor respectful, and he looked down on her.
Just thinking that Mu Chunxi had worked for Fu Junheng in the past, he knew that although he didn't lack people to serve him, keeping him around might still be of some use.
Thinking of this, Feng Mo Ran's face revealed that charming and aloof smile again.
"Miss Mu is willing to serve this prince, of course I would be delighted." Feng Mo Ran curled his lips, offering polite words of comfort on the surface, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Miss Mu, please." Feng Moran casually picked up the luminous cup on the table and gestured to Mu Chunxi.
Mu Chunxi understood, picked up the white jade cup next to her, filled her own cup with wine, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Night was falling in the courtyard of the Marquis's residence.
Mu Chenshuang stood under the tree in the courtyard, lost in thought for a long time, until the rustling wind blew through the leaves, bringing her back to her senses.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back into the house, she saw her maid, Linglong, walking hurriedly towards her.
"Princess, Crown Prince Junheng has arrived and says he wishes to see you." Linglong smiled at Mu Chenshuang, waiting for her to nod in agreement before quickly turning to tell Fu Junheng the news.
"I won't see him. Let him go back and say that I've gone to sleep." Mu Chenshuang hesitated slightly before making this decision, which disappointed Linglong.
Mu Chenshuang turned to go inside, but Linglong, who was standing there stunned, hesitated, wondering what was going on.
The two had clearly expressed their feelings for each other, and the whole of Tianzhao Kingdom knew about it, but for some reason, they started to quarrel at this time.
"Alright, I'll go and tell them right away." Linglong looked at Mu Chenshuang's slender back and resolute expression, then turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang stopped and turned to look in the direction Linglong had left.
But before long, instead of hearing news of Fu Junheng's departure, she heard Linglong's panicked and anxious voice trying to dissuade her.
"Crown Prince Junheng, you can't come in. Our princess has already gone to sleep." Linglong wanted to stop him but didn't dare, and couldn't keep up with him, so she could only follow closely behind Fu Junheng and persuade him.
Fu Junheng, who had forced his way into the courtyard, raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately saw Mu Chenshuang standing in front of the house.
Even in the darkness of night, Mu Chenshuang's features were exquisite, her figure graceful and captivating.
Mu Chenshuang also looked up at Fu Junheng not far away. He was dressed in black, seemingly blending into the cool night, but his noble and charming temperament made it impossible not to submit to him.
In a flash, Mu Chenshuang came to her senses and turned to go into the house before Fu Junheng could catch her, closing the door behind her.
She leaned against the door, preventing Fu Junheng from entering.
As Fu Junheng approached with a slight frown, he hesitated upon seeing the scene before him.
"Why are you unwilling to see me?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Fu Junheng's eyes. "You won't leave with me, but can't you even see me before I return to the capital?"
Mu Chenshuang, who was avoiding eye contact, glanced slightly to the side, but remained silent.
Linglong stood at a distance, watching the two remain silent and locked in a stalemate for a long time. Then, under the cover of night, she saw that Fu Junheng seemed to have taken something off his person and placed it outside the door.
"Wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you." Fu Junheng's cool and deep voice rang out, and he slowly reached out a hand to touch the door, his eyes full of affection and reluctance.
After Fu Junheng left, Mu Chenshuang came out from inside the door and then saw that what was left outside the door was Fu Junheng's personal jade pendant.
