Chapter 723 Duanmu Chen's Explanation!
In fact, Mu Xin Nuan really misunderstood Duanmu Chu Ze.
His true intention was actually very simple: he wanted to help her forget the terror that had happened in the Eastern Palace today as quickly as possible through his own efforts.
Duanmu Chuze was worried that Mu Xinnuan would be left with a shadow in her heart, but if she wasn't taught a lesson, she might not be able to see through Duanmu Chen's true nature.
That's why he chose such a risky method.
Even though he knew Mu Xin Nuan might be angry after learning the truth, he still did it.
On the one hand, it's because he trusts his Ah Nuan and believes she wouldn't hold a grudge against him for too long.
On the other hand, it was because he had to harden his heart and not let Anuan experience such a change, otherwise she would never learn her lesson.
Clearly, he achieved his goal.
As for Mu Xin Nuan's anger, it's certainly not that there's no other way to resolve it.
For example, right now, Duanmu Chuze is working hard to immerse her in his tender affection.
The next day, when Mu Xin Nuan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
I gently massaged it, and although my lower back was a little sore, it wasn't too painful.
At the same time, she felt refreshed, probably because he had cleaned her up last night.
Although she was annoyed by his lack of restraint last night, she was also somewhat satisfied with his thoughtfulness.
"Has the Princess woken up?"
Duanmu Chuze's voice came from outside the door. Mu Xin Nuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly lay back down and pretended to be asleep.
Sure enough, a series of very light footsteps came, and Mu Xin Nuan could even feel that the other person's gaze was always locked on her.
This was the first time Mu Xin Nuan had done something like this, and she couldn't help feeling a little unsure. Her eyelashes trembled involuntarily.
Even through her eyelids, Duanmu Chuze could still see that her eyeballs were moving.
Seeing his eyelids bulging, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Anuan, if you don't get up, I don't mind using a better way to wake you up."
This move again!
Mu Xin Nuan was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only puff out her cheeks in anger and slowly open her eyes.
"Finally decided to open your eyes? I thought you were going to keep pretending to be asleep."
Mu Xin Nuan's expression froze. "You figured it out?"
"Of course! Ah Nuan, I can tell you're sleeping so fake."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Xin Nuan's face. She shifted her body slightly and couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
Mu Xinnuan blushed. "No need. You go out first, I'll change my clothes and then go out."
"Hey, come here, let me help you."
Without saying a word, they simply pulled her out of her warm bed.
He helped her get dressed, and in doing so, he also took some benefits from her, before finally helping her out of the house.
Where is Zonghua?
"They're playing up ahead, don't worry, Chunyu is watching them."
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess."
"Alright, set the lunch out here. Also, have someone serve the Princess a bowl of hot porridge first," Duanmu Chuze instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After using a little bit, Mu Xin Nuan felt less hungry and then remembered Duanmu Chen, the one whose bottle she had smashed.
"How is he?"
Duanmu Chuze looked displeased. "You're still concerned about him?"
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes in an extremely inelegant manner. "What are you thinking? I'm worried that he might get angry and make things difficult for Ruo Xiang?"
"No! Don't worry. Sun Ruoxiang has already been moved out. Besides, do you think he would make a fuss about something so shameful?"
"How is he going to get past the Crown Prince and the Emperor? He can't be so stupid as to say he accidentally bumped into it, can he?"
"Of course it's impossible."
With so many eyes watching from the Eastern Palace, even if he wanted to claim he was an assassin, probably no one would believe him.
Mu Xin Nuan looked at him with suspicion, clearly waiting for him to give an answer.
"He's not seriously injured. You didn't use enough force. If it were me, I probably would have knocked him unconscious. Of course, you could also have killed him."
Duanmu Chuze picked up a piece of food for her. "His wound was treated in time, so it's not a big problem. He only said that he was holding a book and thinking about it at the time, and he didn't pay attention. He bumped into a palace maid carrying a vase."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan thought it could be considered a barely acceptable excuse.
"It's a pity that some palace servant has become his scapegoat again. He clearly did something wrong, but he made someone else take the blame."
Mu Xin Nuan didn't think it was her fault. After all, she was acting in self-defense, and she was forced to that point. So, she wouldn't be foolish enough to take all the blame on herself and feel guilty.
"Anuan, let's not go anywhere today, we'll just rest in the mansion. Tomorrow we'll go to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, and then we should be able to leave the capital."
"really?"
When have I ever lied to you?
The thought of returning to Yanzhou naturally made Mu Xin Nuan happy. This capital city was indeed a place of trouble and conflict, and it was impossible for anyone to feel at ease.
"Then let's go to the General of the State's Mansion again after we leave the palace tomorrow?"
"Okay. Whatever you say."
As Duanmu Chuze had predicted, Duanmu Chen's injury did not attract much attention.
Furthermore, since the imperial physician confirmed that the injury was indeed caused by a vase and that the injury was not serious, the emperor did not pursue the matter further.
After returning to the Prince An's residence, Sun Ruoxiang, though somewhat nervous inside, remained outwardly calm. At least, when faced with Wang Xinyan's questions, she remained composed and showed no signs of nervousness.
Since Wang Xinyan didn't get an answer from Sun Ruoxiang, she naturally had to find a way to inquire in the Eastern Palace.
However, to her disappointment, it seemed that everything was exactly as Duanmu Chen had said before.
But after being his wife for so long, how could Wang Xinyan not know what kind of person her husband was?
After learning that Princess Chang Le had also gone to the East Palace that day, Wang Xinyan naturally made a bold guess.
However, upon learning that Princess Chang Le had left the East Palace with Prince Chang Le that day, and that they had left just as suddenly as before, and that news of Duanmu Chen's head injury had only spread about fifteen minutes later, she was unsure whether this matter was related to Mu Xin Nuan.
Duanmu Chen returned to his study and threw a tantrum.
Just when I thought I was about to get the person I had been longing for, this unexpected turn of events occurred.
"Warmth to the heart, warmth to the heart!"
Duanmu Chen was practically gritting his teeth as he called her name, as if each time he called it, he could see that face again.
"I won't give up, I will definitely get you!"
