Fu Junheng always reported good news and never bad news, but Mu Chenshuang could vaguely sense that things weren't peaceful on his end either.
Saying "I'm safe" doesn't mean you're safe.
But the longing is real.
The Western Moon Kingdom.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Fu Junheng put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and picked up a paintbrush instead.
Paper cannot express all my longing; only these lines can convey my yearning for Mu Chenshuang.
There were already a lot of scrolls on the side, but Fu Junheng remained focused while painting Mu Chenshuang.
"Your Highness, shall we send this painting over?"
Upon hearing Mei Jing's question, Fu Junheng's hand trembled slightly before he shook his head.
"No need."
"But Your Highness, you..."
Fu Junheng looked up when he was only halfway through describing the beautiful scenery.
Seeing a hint of displeasure flash in Fu Junheng's sharp gaze, Meijing quickly shut her mouth.
Liangchen quickly gave Meijing a wink, signaling her not to upset His Highness the Crown Prince.
Fu Junheng put down his paintbrush and carefully examined the two people in front of him.
These two were his top bodyguards, and their skills were comparable to Jue Ming's.
The two worked together very well, perhaps because they shared the same blood, and they were always of one mind in times of crisis.
Some time ago, the two had a mission and did not return to Xiyue Kingdom. Now that the mission is completed, the twins can stay by their side.
Fu Junheng greatly admired the two of them.
But upon hearing Mei Jing's words, Fu Junheng's face still showed displeasure.
Although he knew the beautiful scenery was well-intentioned, Fu Junheng still refused.
These are turbulent times, and many things have far-reaching consequences. To avoid causing trouble, Fu Junheng has reduced the number of letters he sends to Mu Chenshuang.
If these scrolls were sent over at this time...
Mu Chenshuang is a calm and composed person, but Fu Junheng is not sure if she can bear his longing.
Some hardships are best endured alone; there's no need for two people to share them.
Seeing Fu Junheng staring at her without moving, Meijing realized that she had overstepped her bounds and hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I spoke without thinking. I hope Your Highness will calm down."
Fu Junheng waved his hand and spoke leisurely.
"Get up, and don't mention this matter again."
Meijing hurriedly stood up and said "yes" with a serious expression.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Junheng fell into deep thought again.
Previously, he could stay by Mu Chenshuang's side at all times and knew everything about her and the baby in her womb.
But things are different now. Without me by her side, she doesn't know if Mu Chenshuang will take good care of herself.
Fu Junheng sighed softly and finally put away the half-finished scroll.
"You may all leave!"
Upon hearing Fu Junheng's words, Liangchen and Meijing quickly took their leave.
As soon as they walked down the corridor, Liangchen frowned and looked at the beautiful scenery with a hint of resentment.
"Meijing, you are always cautious, why did you say such things today?"
Seeing Liangchen's confusion, Meijing explained directly.
"Right now, His Highness the Crown Prince is burdened with heavy responsibilities, yet he is also suffering from lovesickness. I simply cannot bear to see it."
"How could you be so confused? Even if you can't bear to watch, neither you nor I can share the burden of the Crown Prince's affairs. This is His Highness's personal feeling, and no one can help him."
Meijing understood, but thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince's appearance, she still couldn't bear it.
