Fu Junheng withdrew his hand. "Sorry."
Her pulse showed no signs of internal energy, so it was unclear what had just entered her body.
Mu Chenshuang stood up and looked at the doubt in the man's eyes. She knew what he was suspicious of; he must have noticed something was wrong.
"Rest well today, and take a medicinal bath for an hour tonight. I will write down all the medicinal herbs I need."
Mu Chenshuang instructed.
An attendant stepped forward and draped a long robe over Fu Junheng's shoulders.
Fu Junheng stood up and looked at Mu Chenshuang, asking, "Feng Ji once used this method to detoxify me, but it damaged my meridians that time. Princess Weiyang used the same method, but I didn't experience any abnormalities. I wonder what method Princess Weiyang used just now."
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him and replied seriously, "I have my own methods. As for the rest, I am not at liberty to tell you. I hope Crown Prince Junheng will understand."
Fu Junheng gazed at her intently, then suddenly smiled faintly, “I was being presumptuous. The appearance of Princess Weiyang has given me great hope. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask.”
Mu Chenshuang did not refuse, "Then I will respectfully accept your offer."
"Are we going to a banquet at the Prince of Cheng's mansion again today?" Fu Junheng asked.
"Since you've already agreed, there's no harm in going."
Fu Junheng raised his hand to invite her to the living room, and Mu Chenshuang followed him.
"The purpose of Prince Cheng's invitation is obvious: your divorce from the Crown Prince benefits Prince Cheng."
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "Who is more capable is none of my business. As for Prince Cheng's wishful thinking, it is likely to fall through. I do not want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power."
"Many times you are not in control of your own destiny. Even if you don't want to get involved, your identity will always drag you into the vortex without your knowledge. Just like you may not want to harm others, but others may not want to harm you."
Mu Chenshuang understood what Fu Junheng meant.
The two sat facing each other, and Fu Junheng personally poured her a glass of warm water: "I heard that when the former crown prince was expelled from the Eastern Palace, your uncle was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince. The reason why he chose Feng Xilan was because of the recommendation of Marquis Mu. And Princess Weiyang, you insisted on marrying him. In addition, the Empress's family has influence in the court, so your uncle established the position of crown prince."
The former crown prince was not actually born to the empress, but was the son of Lady An, who was Feng Anxue's elder brother.
Even if the child were adopted by the Empress, she would probably still feel uneasy. She would only feel truly at ease if her own son became the Crown Prince.
Mu Chenshuang picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "I was blinded before, but it's all over now, and I don't want to discuss it anymore. However, what Crown Prince Junheng said is right. Even though the Mu family is powerful and influential, it cannot escape being forced into conflict. All I can do is ensure that the family survives safely in this vortex."
Lu Wei's secret efforts to win over various ladies were not for the sake of the Marquis's mansion, but for her own benefit. Once her actions were exposed and informed of the emperor by someone with ulterior motives, the emperor would inevitably think that the Marquis's mansion had treasonous intentions. Therefore, she had to take back the power of the Marquis's mansion.
"Have you figured out how to deal with your concubine?"
Mu Chenshuang put down her cup, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, and said solemnly, "It will begin with taking back the eight hundred households of fiefdom that belong to me."
"If needed, I can also lend Princess Weiyang a hand."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Fu Junheng and smiled faintly: "Then I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Prince Xiaoyao again."
Logically speaking, Fu Junheng has no power here. Although the Prince of Xiaoyao is now a leisurely prince, he certainly has power in secret. If he interferes too much, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Fu Junheng could make Feng Ji do anything for him.
What exactly is the relationship between the two?
Based on my interactions with them over the past few days, the two don't seem to be homosexual.
"I wonder if Crown Prince Junheng and Prince Xiaoyao are as rumored."
Fu Junheng said in a deep voice, "It's just a rumor, but it has avoided a lot of trouble."
As expected, it's no wonder he was angry about what she said to him at the birthday banquet.
It's a bit of a shame, though, because in reality, so many people of the same sex look far-fetched. Good looks only exist in books, and we can only fantasize about them in books. At first, I really thought that he and Feng Ji were as rumored, but unfortunately, it wasn't true.
Fu Junheng noticed a hint of disappointment in Mu Chenshuang's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What is it that Princess Weiyang is disappointed about?"
What was she disappointed about? Was she disappointed that he wasn't gay?
Mu Chenshuang came to her senses. Was her behavior really that obvious?
She quickly composed herself, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "No, it's just that I didn't expect such a seemingly irrefutable rumor to be false. If someone can become Crown Prince Junheng's ideal husband in the future, then women all over the world will envy them."
With Fu Junheng's divine qualities, if anyone were to become his Crown Princess in the future, it would truly make all the women in the world jealous.
Fu Junheng remained silent, then asked in return, "After the divorce, does Princess Weiyang have any plans for her future spouse?"
"Let things take their course!"
Fu Junheng suddenly remembered someone Feng Ji had mentioned before, Shen Nanzhi. Her divorce was probably great news for her childhood sweetheart.
Thinking of this, perhaps without even realizing it himself, his face darkened noticeably.
After writing down the prescription, Mu Chenshuang did not linger.
