As he spoke these words, a fleeting glint of light flashed deep in his eyes.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her head, unaware of what was happening, and remained silent, letting the man hold her like that.
What do you think of the investigation results from the Chengtianjian (Imperial Observatory)?
Mu Chenshuang asked, knowing that Fu Junheng must already know about this.
Fu Junheng said bluntly, "Is there any need to look? It's obvious."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened slightly. "So, the Chengtianjian is no longer the Chengtianjian controlled by the emperor."
If that's the case, then things are likely to change drastically in the palace.
Suddenly.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, "What else do you know?"
Fu Junheng looked down at the woman in his arms and said, "The palace is full of intrigue and treachery. Power shifts are just a necessary part of the course of history, so some things are unavoidable. As for who Zhu Qin is working for, I don't know either."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him but didn't ask anything further. She casually asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Fu Junheng smiled, his expression softening. "Since you treated me with acupuncture, Shuang'er, I feel much better now and am no longer in excruciating pain from the poisoning."
"This is only temporary. As long as the toxins in your body are not completely cleared, if I do not continue to treat you on that day, you will suffer a lot when the poison takes effect."
Fu Junheng looked down at her, his tone becoming more serious as he asked, "My life is in your hands, Shuang'er, so shouldn't I keep you by my side even more?"
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more.
Fu Junheng held the woman in his arms, remaining silent the entire way.
The carriage stopped in front of the Marquis's mansion gate.
Fu Junheng got off the carriage first, then reached out and carried the woman down in his arms, making no attempt to hide their intimate actions.
Fu Junheng looked at the woman in his arms and smiled faintly.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him, "How long are you going to hold me? Put me down now."
Fu Junheng said in a teasing tone, "I want to carry you inside!"
Mu Chenshuang rolled her eyes at him.
Just then, Mu Chunxi came out and saw this scene in front of the Marquis's mansion. That one glance felt like a knife stabbing into her heart. She clenched her fists instinctively, her eyes filled with hatred.
However, just as Mu Chenshuang turned her gaze to her, Mu Chunxi quickly composed herself.
Mu Chenshuang looked at her. She had just clearly sensed a hostile aura, even murderous intent, emanating from Mu Chunxi.
Fu Junheng put her down.
Mu Chunxi walked over and said, "Chen Shuang, you're finally back. I was really worried about you. Now that you're back safely, it seems His Majesty knows you're innocent, and Father can finally rest easy."
At this hour, Lord Mu should still be inside the palace.
As Mu Chunxi spoke, she looked at Fu Junheng beside her and respectfully bowed, saying, "Crown Prince Junheng!"
Fu Junheng, as aloof as ever, gave a curt "hmm," completely devoid of the gentleness he had shown just moments before, acting like a completely different person.
Mu Chunxi's heart sank, but her face did not show any abnormality at this moment.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Fu Junheng and said, "I'll reply first, you should go back too!"
This time, Fu Junheng didn't insist. He raised his hand and gently stroked the woman's head with his large palm. His golden eyes held a tenderness. "Go back to the manor and rest well. Don't think about anything."
His actions were so doting and gentle.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback by the man's actions and tone, which sounded like he was coaxing a child. Looking into his tender gaze, she saw that he stood backlit, appearing both sacred and gentle, and her heart suddenly fluttered.
For some reason, she felt an urge to comply with his words, and said, "Okay."
