Chen Ping replied, "The Empress knows about the Crown Prince's fainting, but the Crown Prince has not yet told Her Majesty about being poisoned. The news is being kept under wraps to prevent any unnecessary trouble."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more, just hummed in agreement.
"Your subordinate takes his leave."
Chen Ping left with the medicine and happened to run into Fu Junheng at the end of the corridor.
Fu Junheng merely glanced at him indifferently.
Mu Chenshuang also saw Fu Junheng.
The father-in-law walked up to Mu Chenshuang, bid her farewell, and left.
"Take care, sir!"
Fu Junheng walked up to Mu Chenshuang, stopped, and their eyes met. The man's expression was so calm, and there was not much emotion in his eyes.
Mu Chenshuang retorted irritably, "I thought you'd disappeared?"
Fu Junheng looked down at the woman with a bad expression in front of him, and his heart sank for no reason. "You went missing, and I didn't see you worrying and coming to find me, Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him. "I'm going back to my residence."
Fu Junheng held out his hand to her, "Let's go!"
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, raised her hand, and her fingers landed in the man's warm palm. Fu Junheng took the woman's fingers in his hand, a gentle smile blooming between his brows and eyes, as if all the unpleasantness had not happened.
They boarded a carriage leaving the palace.
Mu Chenshuang said, "I have already promised to resolve the Gu worm in Feng Xilan's body. If you really mind this matter, there's nothing I can say."
Fu Junheng held her hand tightly, looking at her with deep eyes. "I do mind that you meddle in his affairs. After all, you were once his wife, and that's something I really care about."
Although he cared, his tone became much calmer.
Mu Chenshuang looked at him.
"But I don't think there's any chance for you two anyway. Since you have no feelings for him anymore, I have nothing to worry about. But the premise is that you have to do something to make me happy, after all, I've been holding back for two days."
His tone suddenly became ambiguous, and his gaze towards Mu Chenshuang became intense.
Mu Chenshuang met the man's approaching gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and she stared at him blankly, "You..."
The man suddenly reached out and put his arm around her waist, his voice low and husky as he said, "No matter what, Shuang'er, you still have to make it up to me."
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, the man's intense aura enveloping her, his gaze seeming to devour her.
A brief silence.
Mu Chenshuang finally gave in, cupping the man's face in her hands, raising her head slightly, and pressing her lips to his thin lips.
She originally only intended to touch him lightly, after all, they were still in the carriage. She now fully understood the male body and knew that once the kiss got out of control, he would lose control.
Just as she was about to let go of him, she was once again kissed deeply by the man, as expected.
After a while.
Only when Mu Chenshuang could not breathe properly did Fu Junheng slowly release the woman in his arms. Looking at her flushed cheeks and her beautiful eyes filled with a hazy light, he felt his heart being stimulated by something, pounding uncontrollably.
"Shuang'er, how can I not care?"
He only wanted her to belong to him completely, to have her heart and eyes only for him, and even to hide her away completely.
He wished she were just a confused woman, but she was also too rational. Even in their relationship, she didn't seem to have completely entrusted herself to him.
Mu Chenshuang blinked, turned her gaze away, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "A little possessiveness is harmless, but it can't be too much. I'm not a woman who wants to completely depend on anyone now, and I hope you understand that."
Fu Junheng narrowed his pupils as he looked at her. He suddenly chuckled, hugged the woman in his arms, and said helplessly, "Shuang'er, you really know how to torment people."
