Fu Junheng withdrew his gaze with a cold look and said meaningfully, "I would also like to remind General Shen to mind his own business first."
That's all.
Fu Junheng then boarded the carriage and left.
Shen Nanzhi stared intently in the direction the carriage had left.
Inside the Marquis's residence.
Linglong and the others were playing with the things they had bought in the living room, while Qiye sat on the steps by the door, fiddling with the dagger he had just bought. It was a scene of harmonious joy.
Mu Chenshuang walked into the courtyard, and Qi Ye saw her at a glance.
"Miss is back."
Upon hearing Qi Ye's words, the people inside the house all got up and went outside, where they saw the young lady returning with a rabbit lantern.
Linglong quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Miss, did you have fun with General Shen?"
Hearing Linglong's words, Mu Chenshuang knew that Shen Nanzhi had come to see her.
Instead of answering Linglong's question, she asked, "What did you buy today?"
Linglong replied, "Honghua and I bought some jewelry, and we also bought lanterns."
Chengli then added, "I bought a wooden sword and a football."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions. "You're all tired from playing today, so get some rest."
"I'll go prepare hot water for Miss."
After helping Mu Chenshuang finish washing up, Linglong left the room and closed the door behind her.
Mu Chenshuang sat in front of the dressing table, her gaze falling on the rabbit lantern beside her. The flickering candlelight inside the lantern made her dark eyes appear even dimmer.
Mu Chenshuang stared intently, lost in thought. Her dark eyes held an unfathomable depth. After an unknown amount of time, she slowly raised her hand and placed it on the lantern. The candlelight inside the lantern was extinguished by a force, and the rabbit lantern instantly lost its brilliance.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and looked away, then got up and walked towards the bed.
However, she had only been asleep for a short time.
Mu Chenshuang sensed someone intruding and suddenly sat up, preparing to pull out the dagger from under her pillow. Just then, she saw the man stop behind the curtain, clasp his hands in a fist and say, "Princess Weiyang, I am truly sorry, but my prince has been poisoned. Please come with me to Yaoguang Residence." His tone was extremely anxious.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback.
Then she suddenly remembered that tonight, the fifteenth of the month, the toxins in his body would indeed become unusually active and strong. Although she had already cleared some of the toxins from his body and temporarily suppressed their effects on his physical functions, there was still a possibility of an attack tonight. However, it was only a mild attack that he could suppress on his own without needing anyone else.
"What happened?"
The man in black explained, "Your Highness was attacked by assassins on the way, and overexertion of his internal energy caused the poison to take effect."
His words shocked Mu Chenshuang. Just how skilled was the assassin to make him overexert himself? But clearly, the other party had seized the opportunity and knew that he would be poisoned tonight.
At that moment, Nanaya rushed in.
Mu Chenshuang stopped him in time and left the Marquis's residence with the man in black.
Inside the hot spring pool at Yaoguang Residence, a shirtless man was practicing his internal energy to suppress the toxins in his body. Wisps of heat swirled around him as he worked to control the toxins.
Mu Chenshuang entered the pavilion, walked through the corridor to the edge of the hot spring, and saw the scene in the pool. It seemed that the poison had really taken effect, and bloodstains could be faintly seen oozing from his body. He was injured.
He was in the middle of the pool, and only she walked over.
Just as she hesitated, she heard the man let out a muffled, painful sound.
Mu Chenshuang took off her outer robe and shoes, stepped barefoot into the hot spring water, and walked behind Fu Junheng.
Only when she got closer did she realize that his right hand was injured. Although it was bandaged, the bleeding was difficult to stop because of the poisoning in his body.
This made her wonder just how powerful the assassin was that he could injure her.
Without further hesitation, she dipped her right hand into the water and placed her fingers on his wrist; fortunately, it wasn't too serious.
Pull your hand back.
Mu Chenshuang held the scroll in her left hand, withdrew her right hand, pulled out a silver needle with her fingers, and precisely inserted it into the acupoint on the top of his head, accompanied by a stream of light blue spiritual energy that flowed into Fu Junheng's body.
However, after a moment, the man's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Mu Chenshuang then administered acupuncture, and Fu Junheng's discomfort gradually subsided.
"How are you feeling?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
Fu Junheng slowly turned to the side, and his golden eyes, which had been weak from the pain, regained some luster when he saw the woman submerged in the water.
"Much better."
"Since you're feeling much better, let's get ashore. Your hand needs to be bandaged."
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, then turned and walked towards the shore.
