"ah!"
Mu Chenshuang cried out in pain, suddenly sitting up, clutching her heart tightly with one hand, the veins on the back of her hand bulging, cold sweat pouring from her forehead, her face contorted, as her lower abdomen tightened.
"Master, Master."
Sensing the changes in its master's body, it quickly released its spiritual power to stabilize the master's body.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of Mu Chenshuang.
Sui Sui noticed the person who had appeared, and her heart jumped into her throat.
"Master, someone is here."
As Sui Sui's spiritual energy infused into her, Mu Chenshuang's heart pain gradually subsided. Hearing Sui Sui's words, she reassured herself, "It's alright, he won't hurt me."
Fu Junheng took a long stride and sat cross-legged behind her, placing his palms on her back. He channeled his inner energy, and a faint golden halo surrounded his palms, with streams of power flowing into Mu Chenshuang's body through her back.
Just as Feng Ji had predicted.
Her poison hasn't been neutralized yet, and there will be some unusual activity in her body tonight, but he can clearly feel a force within her healing her body.
Suddenly, Fu Junheng's eyes sharpened, and he glanced at the doorway out of the corner of his eye.
Someone is coming.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of smoke drifted in from the window.
Then a man dressed in black pried open the door and strode towards the bed. He lifted the curtain and found the bed empty.
Lu Wei waited for news in her room.
She didn't want Mu Chenshuang to die today; what she wanted was to ruin Mu Chenshuang's reputation and slowly torture her to death so that she could vent her hatred.
Mu Yazhi waited with her mother. If she couldn't see Mu Chenshuang pay the price and be in such a sorry state tonight, she would be too angry to sleep.
"Mother, are you sure it's okay? The Dragon Blood Ginseng might be in her hands. If she had eaten it, the poison should have been neutralized by now." Mu Yazhi couldn't help but worry.
Lu Wei said calmly, "Isn't this a good opportunity to test whether she has been cured of the poison?"
The power of the Western Regions' Soft Jade Incense is such that even someone with profound internal strength can be rendered unconscious.
Even if Mu Chenshuang has been cured of the poison, it will still take time for her to recover to her original state, so she is no match for the power of this sleeping incense.
The person who went there soon returned to report.
"Madam, the princess is not in the room."
Lu Wei sat bolt upright in shock: "What did you say? Not inside the house?!"
"Yes, the bed is still warm, so the person must have just left."
"It's so late, where did that slut go to have a secret rendezvous?" Mu Yazhi said indignantly, this time she had managed to escape again.
Lu Wei narrowed her eyes, her expression grave. The maid in the outer courtyard had already reported and confirmed that Mu Chenshuang had retired for the night.
But she disappeared at that very moment.
This was completely unexpected for her.
"There are only two possibilities for her disappearance at this time: either she has been cured of the poison and sneaked out of the manor, or she has been poisoned and taken away. But I think the most likely possibility is the second one. If she had planned to leave in advance, why would there still be warmth left on the bed?"
Mu Yazhi looked at her mother and hurriedly asked, "So Mu Chenshuang's poison wasn't cured and she was taken away? Who rescued her, and why did he happen to appear at that exact moment?!"
As soon as Mu Yazhi asked the question, she blurted out in disbelief, "Could it be the Prince of Xiaoyao, or Crown Prince Junheng?"
Instantly, a deep-seated hatred flashed in Mu Yazhi's eyes, her fingers clenched tightly, and her chest heaved with anger.
Lu Wei lowered her eyes. "No matter who took Mu Chenshuang away, they know that an assassin came to the Marquis's residence tonight."
Therefore, everyone in the Marquis's mansion must know about the assassination attempt.
Fu Junheng brought Mu Chenshuang to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.
On the way there, in order to prevent her from noticing, he knocked her unconscious. After using his spiritual power to stabilize Mu Chenshuang's heart, he fell into a deep sleep.
After taking her pulse, Feng Ji fed her a pill.
How is she?
Feng Ji stood up and replied, "She is now out of danger. The fetus has stabilized, but there is a force flowing within her body that is suppressing the poison. The poison is showing signs of improvement."
"Why are you taking Dragon Blood Ginseng?" Fu Junheng asked.
Feng Ji couldn't figure it out for a moment. "Probably! But if this poison continues to stay in her body, it will be very dangerous for the fetus if it takes effect again. But logically speaking, after taking the Dragon Blood Ginseng, the poison shouldn't take effect so quickly. It's also possible that the dosage she took was not enough."
Fu Junheng lifted his long robe and sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze falling on the woman's pale face, her deep golden eyes revealing unfathomable emotions.
"She should be very clear about her physical condition. She says she can cure herself, but what is she planning now?"
Feng Ji had no way to answer his question.
"Junheng, you don't need to worry too much. I just checked, and the toxins in her body are showing signs of receding. Look how worried you are. Could it be that you've fallen for Princess Weiyang?" Feng Ji teased.
