It had been a long time since there had been any news from Qi Ye, and Mu Chen Shuang was getting anxious. She quickly took the letter from Ling Long's hand, went into the house, and sat down under the lamp to open it.
Under the dim light, Mu Chenshuang quickly read through Qi Ye's letter, almost skimming through it.
After reading it, Mu Chenshuang fell into silent contemplation. Linglong, who was standing beside her, noticed that her expression was not good and asked worriedly, "Miss, did something happen to Qiye?"
Linglong thought for a moment, then asked with a glimmer of hope, "Is Qiye coming back soon?"
Mu Chenshuang shook her head silently. The warm yellow light fell on her face, enveloping her in a halo, making her look incredibly beautiful.
Linglong stared at Mu Chenshuang for a moment, completely captivated by her beauty. She thought to herself, no wonder Fu Junheng was so infatuated with his young lady.
Linglong, who was lost in thought, only came back to her senses when she heard Mu Chenshuang's voice.
"I'm afraid Qi Ye won't be able to return as planned. He encountered some trouble on the way and may be back later." Mu Chenshuang sighed, her gentle eyes revealing a hint of worry.
In his letter, Qi Ye wrote that he encountered the Dark Night Assassins again on his way back. This time, they seemed to want to take his life directly, so they were quite ruthless. He was tripped up and couldn't get away for the time being.
Fortunately, Qi Ye regained some of his memories, and his power increased accordingly. He was able to handle those people, but it was a bit troublesome. He couldn't shake them off or deal with them for the time being.
"Miss, what happened to Qi Ye? Is he in danger? Is he injured?" Linglong immediately became nervous because of Mu Chenshuang's words, and asked one question after another.
Seeing the worry on her face, Mu Chenshuang could only comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, Qiye is fine. He will definitely handle it. He promised me in his letter that he would return to the capital as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she put away Qi Ye's letter on her own. This time, she didn't agree to let Linglong see it because she was worried that Linglong would overthink things after reading Qi Ye's letter.
Linglong trusted Mu Chenshuang completely, and seeing that she had said so, she could only nod and did not ask any further questions.
"Help me wash up." Although it was still early, Mu Chenshuang didn't have much of an appetite. She ate a little of what Honghua had brought her and didn't want to eat anymore. "You should all go and rest early too."
Linglong and Honghua could tell that Mu Chenshuang had something on her mind, so they didn't say anything more and did as she asked before leaving Mu Chenshuang's room.
In the spacious bedroom, Mu Chenshuang sat at her desk, but she was not sleepy at all.
Thinking about her current situation, Mu Chenshuang always felt somewhat uneasy.
Feng Guche's illness came on too suddenly, which was unexpected. Although she had warned Shen Nanzhi and Feng Xilan, only Shen Nanzhi was making preparations in advance in secret. Feng Xilan seemed to be too soft-hearted and still had hope for Feng Guche.
Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but worry about Feng Xilan's future, feeling that his current indecisiveness and womanly compassion made him unsuitable to be a monarch.
More importantly, since he rediscovered his own feelings and realized that he was only being controlled by Xiao Qingyu, because he could not have her and they were destined to be apart, Feng Xilan seemed to be disheartened by everything.
What's even more frightening is that Feng Xilan now seems to have lost interest in Feng Guche's position as well.
