Chapter 1756: Chapter 1753: Reflection

He lifted the carriage curtain and got in.

“Did you hear everything?” Chu Heng asked as the carriage started moving toward the residence.

Ye Muyu nodded. “Yes, I think this matter is related to the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border. I have a feeling that her initial goal was to find the Little Prince. During this period, they haven’t looked for anyone else, just kept frequenting the Princess’ Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion. Although on the surface it is to treat the Young Prince’s illness, if it were truly this simple, why haven’t the people from the Southern Border gone anywhere else?”

“The most likely reason they haven’t gone anywhere else is that their real target is the Prince’s Mansion and the Princess’ Mansion,” Ye Muyu analyzed.

Chu Heng rubbed her hand. “Don’t worry, there is no secret passage leaving the capital from the Prince’s Mansion. It must be that there’s a secret passage underneath the Prince’s Mansion. No matter what, Lu Sangqi is definitely still in the Prince’s Mansion. He’s clever and left us clues, indicating we can go directly to the Prince’s Mansion to ask for him.”

“With your relationship to the Princess’ Mansion, if the Elder Princess gets involved, she will surely ensure Lu Sangqi’s safety. If we send people over, the Prince’s Mansion can’t deny that Lu Sangqi hasn’t left the residence. The Prince’s Mansion and the Elder Princess wouldn’t want trouble, so they won’t let anything happen to him.”

“Of course, if the situation becomes too serious, there might be unexpected events. So I will keep sending people to track his whereabouts,” Chu Heng analyzed methodically. In the end, he reassured her again, making Ye Muyu’s heart soften. She looked at him, moved her lips, “Ah Heng, thank you.”

“No need to thank me,” Chu Heng said, his gaze firm, a flicker of emotion flashing through his dark eyes.

Ye Muyu instinctively swallowed, her fingers growing a bit hot, and when she wanted to reach out, she realized Chu Ziluo was also in the carriage. She quickly withdrew her hand, using her eyes to appease the man in front of her.

Chu Heng just glanced at her lightly, then withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

Ye Muyu: “…”

She was quite sure Chu Heng was angry, but she didn’t know how to coax him back.

Her fingers twisted gently under her sleeves, feeling a bit worried, and she kept glancing at him from time to time.

Chu Heng naturally could feel Ye Muyu’s gaze. He understood her personality well; she was kind to friends, to family, and also quite good to him.

But even though he understood, when he heard her concern for another man, he felt a bit uncomfortable. This discomfort made his heart feel blocked. He couldn’t bring himself to take it out on Ye Muyu, so he chose the most childish way, letting her think about what she did wrong.

Ye Muyu was indeed in deep thought at the moment. She habitually bit her lower lip when pondering, and the dry and peel applied before entering the palace was long gone, making her crimson lips look even more alluring.

She actually had already figured it out in her heart.

If it were Chu Heng, very concerned about a female friend, she would also feel a bit uneasy. Presumably, Chu Heng’s anger was due to this reason.

So she started reflecting based on this point.

She realized that because she was too open-minded, she never thought friends must be of the same sex. She’s willing to befriend capable people, not having feelings for them, considering them just friends, so she never thought there was a problem.

But she hadn’t considered Chu Heng’s feelings.

Next time, if it really is a matter with a male friend.
