Even though Fu Junheng didn't answer, Feng Ji already knew in his heart that Junheng had fallen for Mu Chenshuang. Even he had to admit Fu Junheng's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. The woman who was willing to risk her life for him was just a useful pawn in his eyes.
That's how Mu Chenshuang was to him from the very beginning.
But the current trend is becoming increasingly out of his control.
Perhaps this outcome was destined from the very beginning of that night between him and Mu Chenshuang.
However, he became increasingly curious and expectant about whether Junheng's actions would ultimately be driven by reason or emotion.
Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang prepared to leave the palace.
The two left along the corridor, and just as they turned the corner, a figure rushed over from around the corner. Shen Nanzhi quickly grabbed Mu Chenshuang.
But the palace maid who bumped into her still encountered Mu Chenshuang.
Upon seeing the two, the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately prostrated herself on the ground, saying, "General Shen, Princess, please forgive me. I didn't mean to."
Mu Chenshuang looked at the trembling palace maid kneeling on the ground and did not blame her. "Get up!"
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Princess."
The palace maid stood up.
Mu Chenshuang asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The palace maid respectfully replied, "One item is missing from the sacrificial offerings; I must hurry and prepare it."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any further questions, she simply said, "Go quickly!"
The palace maid curtsied and thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you, Princess and General Shen."
The palace maid lowered her head and quickly walked around the two men, but the moment she got past them, the timid look in her eyes vanished.
The palace maids did not go to prepare any sacrificial offerings, but instead went to a relatively secluded garden. There were no guards around the garden, only occasional patrols.
The palace maid saw the person standing with his back to her in the pavilion, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sixth Prince."
Feng Hao turned around, looked at the woman with cold eyes, and said, "I got the things."
"Got it."
As the palace maid spoke, she stepped forward and took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve. This was the handkerchief she had taken from Mu Chenshuang's sleeve without her noticing when she first met her.
She respectfully handed it to Feng Hao, who took it with a cold smile. He praised her with satisfaction, saying, "To be able to get it in front of Shen Nanzhi, Yan Se, you truly deserve to be called the world's number one female thief."
Yanse lowered his head and said, "Sixth Prince, you flatter me."
Feng Hao handed her the silk scarf, looked away, and instructed, "Go, do as I say."
"yes."
Smoky-colored hands accepted the silk scarf, turned and strode away.
Feng Hao's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. Although Mu Chen Shuang was not doing anything at the moment, she was still his biggest worry.
At this moment.
A commotion came from the side, and Feng Hao's alarm bells went off. He turned around abruptly and saw an eunuch walking quickly towards him. Upon seeing Feng Hao, the eunuch hurried forward and said, "Sixth Prince, what are you doing here? The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Consort Ling wants you to come over immediately."
Feng Hao concealed the fierceness in his eyes, adopting a gentle and refined demeanor, and said with a light smile, "I was just about to go there, so I'll trouble Eunuch Wang to come and find me."
"Then the Sixth Prince should quickly come with this old servant!"
Feng Hao stepped forward to leave, but suddenly stopped, looked at the eunuch, and asked with a smile, "Does Eunuch Wang know the palace maid who just left?"
The father-in-law asked in confusion, "She didn't come to see you, Sixth Prince. Don't you know the Sixth Prince?"
Feng Hao smiled, not answering Eunuch Wang's question, and continued to ask, "Then, Eunuch Wang, did you see what she just gave me?"
Eunuch Wang instantly understood, his expression faltering for a moment, then he smiled obsequiously and said, "This servant didn't see anything."
Feng Hao's lips curled into a smile, but his eyes were icy cold. He didn't ask any more questions. "Hurry up and leave. Don't keep Mother waiting."
Grandpa Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he took a step, a large hand suddenly grabbed his neck and squeezed it hard.
A snap.
Grandpa Wang's neck was snapped.
Feng Hao threw Eunuch Wang into the pool. He looked at the corpse sinking to the bottom and a cold, sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Only the mouth of the dead can be trusted."
Immediately afterwards.
He left the garden without anyone noticing.
Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi left the palace.
Mu Chenshuang originally planned to take the carriage directly back to the manor, but Shen Nanzhi spoke up, "Today is the first day of the month, the streets should be very lively. It's been a long time since it's been this lively. Shuang'er, can you come with me to take a look?"
His eyes held expectation, but within that expectation lingered a hint of melancholy.
at last.
Mu Chenshuang agreed anyway.
The streets were bustling with activity on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with lion dances, dragon dances, stilt walking, and opera performances—everything looked so splendid and prosperous.
When you let go of your heavy heart and empty your mind, you feel so relaxed and comfortable.
Shen Nanzhi bought her a candied hawthorn and handed it to her, saying, "Do you remember when I ate one of your candied hawthorns, you were angry with me for half a month, and I couldn't coax you no matter what I did?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at the candied hawthorn in front of her and listened to him recount his memories.
These memories must have been incredibly precious to him, which is why his eyes shone with light as he recounted them.
She really didn't know how to tell him that she was no longer the one in his heart.
She reached out and took the candied hawthorn. "So this one is to make up for what happened back then?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "I guess so!"
Mu Chenshuang smiled with lowered eyes, the gentleness between her brows as warm and charming as the spring sunshine, even more dazzling than the clouds in the sky.
Such tenderness fell into a pair of dark golden eyes.
Jin Yu Lou, one of the three major restaurants in the imperial city, is located in a bustling area and boasts luxurious decor.
The private rooms on the third floor.
After Feng Ji gave instructions to the waiter, he turned around and heard the sound of a cup being crushed.
Feng Ji looked closely and felt a chill pressing down on him. He seemed to have a guess about what was going on. He stepped forward, looked down, and sure enough, it was true.
Junheng was in a bad mood, so I brought him here to drink and cheer him up. But now, we've run into this again. It seems like even God doesn't want him to have a good time.
