Chapter 180 The Feeling of Being Used as a Pawn



"In my opinion, the Crown Prince is intentionally trying to curry favor!" Feng Ji sighed.

Fu Junheng lowered his eyelids slightly, and the shadows cast by his feather-like eyelashes were reflected in his pair of golden eyes, making them appear deep and dark.

Suddenly.

Fu Junheng stood up, his back imposing and indifferent, his tone cold and devoid of any emotion, "Who she is with is none of my business."

Feng Ji sighed, "Then why did you stay here all night without closing your eyes?"

"Just calming down." The voice was indifferent, as aloof as ever.

As expected of Jun Heng, being disturbed is his biggest taboo. He is more rational than anyone else. He thought that Jun Heng's sleepless night was because he had feelings for Mu Chenshuang, but it seems that he was overthinking it.

"If that's the case, then I have nothing to say. But you've offended Princess Weiyang, so who will treat you?"

Fu Junheng said coldly, "Isn't there always you who can go find her?"

Feng Ji raised an eyebrow, wondering why he suddenly felt like he was being used as a tool.

"I really am going to see Princess Weiyang today."

Feng Ji then left Yao Guang Residence.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Liu Fengxilan and Mu Chenshuang had breakfast.

The two accompanied the Empress Dowager for a while before leaving Cining Palace together.

"Thank you for yesterday," Feng Xilan suddenly said.

Mu Chenshuang stared straight ahead, her expression calm and aloof. "Consider this repayment for the favor His Highness the Crown Prince did yesterday. There's no need for thanks from the Crown Prince."

Feng Xilan glanced at the woman beside her. The morning sunlight shone on her tight and beautiful profile, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like the brilliance of the sky.

However, before he could even recover from his shock...

My heart ached again.

Mu Chenshuang took a few steps before realizing what was happening, and stopped to look back at the man who was standing still behind her.

"What's wrong with the Crown Prince?"

Before Feng Xilan could respond, a beautiful figure in blue ran over.

"Your Highness!"

The voice was urgent.

As Xiao Qingyu passed by Mu Chenshuang, a flash of hatred crossed her eyes.

Xiao Qingyu quickly stepped forward to support Feng Xilan, looking at him with teary eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Your Highness, are you alright? I was so worried about you."

As Xiao Qingyu approached, her unique fragrance wafted into Feng Xilan's nostrils.

Feng Xilan felt much more comfortable. His gaze fell on Xiao Qingyu, and his eyes remained gentle.

"It's alright now."

When he looked at the woman in front of him again, he only saw her receding figure as she walked away into the distance.

Xiao Qingyu looked at Feng Xilan's gaze, and a deep-seated hatred flashed in her eyes.

"Did Princess Weiyang take care of His Highness all night last night?" she asked weakly, sounding aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xilan withdrew her gaze, looked down at Xiao Qingyu, and said, "She just happened to be here."

Xiao Qingyu lowered her eyes, looking as if she were injured, and said, "Then I should go and thank Princess Weiyang another day."

Feng Xilan looked at her, her heart sinking. She lowered her voice to comfort her, "No need to go. You go back first. I still need to go to the Hall of Diligent Governance."

Xiao Qingyu nodded, "Then Yu'er will wait for Your Highness to return to the palace as soon as possible."

As Feng Xilan listened to her gentle voice and the tender affection in her eyes, her presence made him feel comfortable, and he couldn't help but become gentler towards her.

"Um!"

After Feng Xilan left, Xiao Qingyu's eyes instantly turned ferocious and ruthless.

Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence.

They happened to run into Feng Ji, who was also there.

The two entered the mansion.

"The Ministry of Revenue's records do show that disaster relief funds donated by the Marquis's residence flowed in."

Mu Chenshuang was aware of this as well. "So, there really is this money?"

Feng Ji replied, "The ledger is indeed meticulously prepared, but the specific funds did not flow into Nanyang and Jiangbei. Either the money never existed, or it was embezzled by someone."

This outcome was within Mu Chenshuang's expectations.

The two arrived at the courtyard.

Mu Chenshuang personally brewed a cup of tea for Feng Ji, saying, "In any case, thank you, Prince Xiaoyao."

"It's alright, but what does Princess Weiyang plan to do next? If needed, I will help you to the end."

Mu Chenshuang refused, saying, "No need. There's no need for Prince Xiaoyao to get involved in this matter anymore."

The fact that she could say that clearly indicates she already has a solution.

Feng Ji didn't ask any more questions. "I heard that Princess Weiyang injured the supervisor of Chengtianjian. Only Princess Weiyang has the confidence to do that. I really admire Princess Weiyang's courage."

She had openly offended the Imperial Observatory, and they now held a grudge against her.

Mu Chenshuang slowly sat down to the side, chuckled softly, and said, "Does the Prince of Xiaoyao think that what I did was just a reckless act of showing off my abilities?"

Feng Ji paused in his teacup, then chuckled and said, "I don't think so at all; on the contrary, I quite admire it."

"Is that so?"
