Mu Chenshuang listened to Qi Ye's words without much change in expression, and asked, "Why do you think that?"
"He must have come several times in the middle of the night!"
He had sensed something amiss when Crown Prince Junheng visited before, but he didn't detect anything unusual, and he was too lazy to disturb his young lady's "good time."
"The masked man hasn't appeared again in all this time. Crown Prince Junheng is so persistent with you, Miss. If the masked man isn't him, aren't you afraid that Crown Prince Junheng might do something to you?"
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes, slowly closed them, and sighed deeply.
"But I do find it strange. If he doesn't want you to know who the child is, why is he bothering you, revealing his secrets, making people suspicious, and still refusing to admit it?" Qi Ye asked suspiciously, touching his chin.
Mu Chenshuang subconsciously clutched her clothes, opened her eyes, and said, "It doesn't matter whose it is anymore. I'm tired."
Qi Ye then stopped asking questions.
"Miss, please get some rest."
Qi Ye turned and left, closing the door behind him.
The room was pitch black.
Mu Chenshuang sat on the bed, her hand on her lower abdomen, unconsciously tightening her grip.
He still refuses to admit it, and doesn't even have the courage to make the slightest promise.
Thinking about this...
Mu Chenshuang gave a cold, mocking laugh.
Ultimately, it was just a fleeting liking, so what's the point? She didn't need it at all.
Despite her efforts to calm herself down, she tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I was in a very bad mental state.
Linglong noticed her mistress's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Mu Chenshuang got out of bed. "I'm fine."
Now she needs to manage the Marquis's mansion, and she has to make decisions on all kinds of matters within the mansion, which is quite tiring for her.
After breakfast.
Mu Chenshuang went to her study to write a letter and asked Qiye to deliver it to Doctor Li at Shili Pavilion outside the city.
Someone was following Dr. Li the whole time, so they naturally had to put on a show to make Dr. Li go out to contact the so-called miracle doctor.
"Be careful of your surroundings, and don't let anyone see your true colors."
Qi Ye tucked the envelope into his pocket, patted his chest, and said, "Miss, you don't need to worry about me handling things."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him and cautioned, "Don't be careless!"
"I understand, there won't be any problems."
It was midday.
Mu Chenshuang received a message from the palace, instructing her to attend a flower-viewing banquet three days later.
Every year after the beginning of spring, the Empress would host a flower-viewing banquet in the inner palace. Princesses, ladies, and noblewomen from the capital were invited to attend. Therefore, the flower-viewing banquet was not just a simple event to admire flowers; there were many more interests involved. Unmarried noblemen would also be invited, and they might even be betrothed to each other before birth.
She had no choice but to accept the invitation.
Inside Yaoguang Residence.
When Feng Ji arrived at the study, Jue Ming, who was guarding the door, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Carefree King."
"How is your prince now?"
He already knew about Fu Junheng's assassination attempt, but now that Mu Chenshuang was there, there was no need for him to rush over.
Jue Ming's expression darkened.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Feng Ji asked seriously.
Jue Ming glanced towards the study and said, "His Highness's health is fine..."
Upon hearing his tone, Feng Ji understood what was going on.
"Didn't your prince just spend the Lantern Festival with Princess Weiyang? Has their relationship not improved?"
Although he gave some pointers on how to make women more easily fall in love, especially for Mu Chenshuang, a woman who has neither lack of status nor wealth, as long as you have eyes for her, even the smallest romantic gestures can make her happy.
However, Junheng had already made up his mind, and he could think of and do many things without being told.
"I'm not quite sure about that, but His Highness went to the Marquis's residence last night and didn't sleep a wink. He looked very unwell."
Feng Ji sighed. It seemed that something must have happened. But upon closer inspection, it made perfect sense. Now it seemed that Princess Weiyang was not some simple woman who only thought about love.
What is he doing inside now?
If he's in a bad mood right now, he doesn't want to go in and risk getting into trouble.
News has arrived from Shengjing.
Feng Ji frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped into the study.
