Linglong lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long while before cautiously asking, "Miss, who exactly was Qiye before?"
She knew that Qi Ye's original identity was not simple, but knowing that he might leave because of the possibility of regaining his memories, she was still reluctant to let him go.
Mu Chenshuang didn't say much to Linglong, only saying, "A highly skilled assassin is several times stronger than him now. His identity means he can't stay a guard in the Marquis's mansion forever. Forgetting doesn't mean nothing happened. What's meant to happen will eventually happen."
Linglong remained silent, her heart heavy with indescribable sorrow.
Mu Chenshuang walked up to her and comforted her, "But Linglong, you don't need to worry too much. Qiye is by no means an ungrateful person. Even if he really leaves one day, he will definitely remember all of us."
Mu Chenshuang knew Linglong's thoughts perfectly well, but Qiye's identity destined his life to be full of bloodshed and thorns. She hoped that Linglong would have a stable home in the future, a place where someone could give her a stable home.
Upon hearing this, Linglong's fingers clenched tightly, but she quickly composed herself, looked up at Mu Chenshuang, and forced a smile, saying, "Miss, I know."
Seeing Linglong's appearance, Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more.
"Miss, please drink your medicine while it's still hot!"
Mu Chenshuang looked at the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine that Linglong was holding, reached out and picked it up, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste made her frown. Linglong quickly handed her a candied fruit.
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took it, putting it into her bitter mouth. The sweet taste dispelled the bitterness, and Mu Chenshuang immediately felt much better. She subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen, clearly feeling the protrusion.
Linglong, watching her movements, couldn't help but ask with concern, "Miss, what are your plans for the child in your belly?"
Mu Chenshuang's expression was deep as she replied, "The child should still be born."
"Ever since news of your affair with Crown Prince Junheng spread, that man in black hasn't shown up. Is he afraid of Crown Prince Junheng? But has Crown Prince Junheng really said anything about the child in your womb?"
It's truly unbelievable that a man as noble as Crown Prince Junheng would not mind that Miss was pregnant, and would even engage in intimate relations with her. Does he really love Miss to that extent?
She certainly felt that her young lady deserved the most noble and outstanding man in the world, but Crown Prince Junheng's behavior was indeed incomprehensible.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyelids slightly, her dark eyes revealing an unfathomable darkness. "I'm also very curious about what he's really thinking."
This day.
Fu Junheng did not come to the residence, but instead arranged for a guard to deliver specially made pastries and a letter. "Princess, His Highness asked me to give this to you. Please accept it."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took the envelope.
The guards delivered the items and then took their leave.
Back in the study.
Mu Chenshuang opened the envelope, on which was written a simple sentence: "I yearn for you, and wish to meet you at Xishuang Tower at 9 PM."
Tell her to go to the appointment that evening.
As she looked at the opening lines of the calligraphy, her heart sank.
She carefully put the envelope away.
After dinner, she first went to Lord Mu's study to take his pulse. There were no signs that his symptoms had worsened, which meant that Lord Mu had not been poisoned that day.
However, now that word has spread that she possesses medical skills, the other party will likely not dare to act rashly again.
After exchanging a few words with Lord Mu, Mu Chenshuang returned to the courtyard to prepare to administer acupuncture to Qi Ye.
