Shen Nanzhi's expression changed. He gripped the hairpin tightly and put it down, his stern gaze meeting Feng Anxue's as he said, "A hairpin proves nothing. I hope the princess will not make unfounded speculations and slander Princess Weiyang."
Feng Anxue suddenly laughed, a mocking smile curving her lips, and said, "General Shen is really good at deceiving himself. I don't believe that General Shen can't see the shady dealings between Mu Chenshuang and Crown Prince Junheng."
The words were spoken.
Shen Nanzhi's clenched fist tightened involuntarily.
"I am only here to kindly remind General Shen. I hope General Shen will take heed and not let his infatuation go to waste."
After Feng Anxue finished speaking, she turned and left, and was helped into the carriage by a palace maid.
Shen Nanzhi stood stiffly in place, his eyes lowered, a hint of bitterness welling up in them.
After returning to the Marquis's residence, Mu Chenshuang wrote down a prescription and took out the Yue Lan Zhi that Lu Wei had given to Doctor Li. This Yue Lan Zhi could effectively control Xiao Jing's condition.
After Mu Chenshuang wrote out the prescription, she asked Qiye to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and then deliver it to the house in the suburbs.
Qi Ye took the prescription and complained, "I didn't sleep well at all last night, and now I'm being made to run errands again, without any benefit whatsoever."
Mu Chenshuang tidied the Xuan paper on the desk and answered Qi Ye's question, "Of course there will be benefits. I will have Linglong prepare a table of good wine and meat for you later. You will definitely not be treated unfairly."
Mu Chenshuang was tidying up her writing materials. She didn't hear Qi Ye's reply, so she looked up in confusion and saw Qi Ye staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Why are you staring at me?
Qi Ye leaned against the desk, casually picked up a small emerald green bottle from the desk, examined it carefully, and said with a gossipy expression, "Miss, you look radiant and have a healthy glow. It seems you're in an exceptionally good mood right now."
He could clearly sense that the young lady was unusually easy to talk to, and her aura had become exceptionally gentle.
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang paused in her movements, her face instantly stiffening. She slowly raised her eyes to look at Qi Ye, her gaze suddenly turning cold. "Looks like you've got a lot of free time."
Qi Ye raised his hand and shook the prescription in his hand, "I'm not free right now."
After saying that, he put down the small bottle in his hand, grabbed the box containing the Moon Orchid, and ran away in a flash.
Mu Chenshuang frowned, staring at Qi Ye's departing figure. Then her gaze fell on the emerald green bottle—the perfume balm that Fu Junheng had forced upon her before leaving.
Thinking about what Qiye said, was she really in such a good mood just now?
For quite a while.
Mu Chenshuang calmed herself down and tried not to overthink things.
Just then, Linglong brought in some snacks.
"Linglong, help me grind the ink."
"yes."
After a few days' delay, she needed to hurry up and finish writing the first volume to give to Doctor Li.
Linglong watched her mistress write. She recognized some of the characters, but when they were put together, she really didn't understand what they meant.
After an incense stick has burned.
Mu Chenshuang rested for a while, when Honghua came in and said, "Princess, General Chen has arrived."
Mu Chenshuang paused, her hand holding the water glass momentarily still. For some reason, she felt a strange resistance to meeting him. She then lowered her hand and said, "I understand."
When Shen Nanzhi arrived at Tingzhu Courtyard, he saw Chengli practicing swordsmanship with a wooden sword.
Upon seeing the person appear, Cheng Li turned around and sheathed his wooden sword. His tall and well-proportioned figure and every move he made exuded excellent manners and demeanor. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Greetings, General Shen."
