Half an hour later.
Mu Chunxi's physical condition gradually stabilized, and her pale complexion gradually returned to normal.
Mu Chenshuang put away the silver needles and stood up.
Mu Chunxi sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly raised her eyes and opened them, looking weakly at Mu Chenshuang, and thanked her.
Mu Chenshuang asked, "If your mother hadn't noticed anything unusual about you, do you plan to keep it a secret forever?"
Mu Chunxi lowered her gaze, showing no intention of answering. However, her hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously clenched a little tighter. Her lowered dark eyes made it impossible to guess what she was thinking at that moment.
Mu Chenshuang looked at her and continued to ask, "I'm quite curious, who else in this capital city could seriously injure you?"
Mu Chunxi raised her eyes, her peach blossom eyes were beautiful and charming, but they seemed to be covered by a thin mist, making them unfathomable. She said, "Chen Shuang, I am very grateful to you for saving me, but you don't need to worry about my affairs."
Mu Chenshuang stared intently at her, and she didn't ask any more questions, withdrawing her gaze: "In that case, I won't press further. However, I hope that your matter, Chunxi, won't affect Father."
After saying that.
Mu Chenshuang turned and walked towards the door.
Sitting on the bed, Mu Chunxi watched Mu Chenshuang's departing figure. Her eyes gradually turned cold until they were filled with resentment and hatred. Her clenched fingers even cracked.
When Lord Mu, who was waiting outside the door, saw Mu Chenshuang come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Father, don't worry, Chunxi is fine now."
Lord Mu nodded, relieved. "That's good."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi quickly walked into the house.
Lord Mu did not follow them inside.
The father and daughter turned and went to the courtyard.
"What happened to Chunxi's injury?"
Mu Chenshuang answered truthfully: "She was struck in the shoulder blade with internal force, and this internal force is embedded in her body. Chunxi's skill is not enough to dissipate it, but as time goes by, the power will weaken. If Chunxi can get through it, she can recover on her own."
That internal force, the force of a bullet—who exactly injured Mu Chunxi?
Upon hearing this, Lord Mu's face darkened. "Then, Shuang'er, do you think these are enemies that Chunxi made outside?"
Mu Chunxi has not been in the capital for many years, so it is impossible for her to have made enemies in the capital or to be involved in political struggles. Even if they are enemies of the Mu family, they should not be targeting Mu Chunxi. Therefore, the only possibility is that they are enemies that Mu Chunxi has made outside.
"Based on the current situation, this is the most likely possibility. However, I just asked Chunxi, and I guess she has some unspeakable difficulties. After all, she has been away for so many years, and only she knows what she has been doing."
Lord Mu stopped in his tracks, his eyes deep as he gazed into the distance. He placed his large hand on the lion's head on the railing by the pool, his fingers tightening. He sighed deeply and said, "The world is finally going to change."
Mu Chenshuang asked, "Father, what are your plans now?"
"My father fought half his life. The power and status of the Marquis's mansion were built on the blood and bones of countless soldiers. This honor is truly too heavy."
Lord Mu spoke, then remained silent for a long while before saying, "Relinquishing military power is a minor matter; the emperor's command cannot be disobeyed."
Mu Chenshuang sensed a hint of resentment in Lord Mu's tone, "Father, is there anything you haven't finished?"
