Mu Chenshuang and Xue Jiajia exchanged some words, and when they returned to the main hall of Cining Palace, they encountered a group of people.
The woman walking in front was dressed in simple silk and satin, with a calm and elegant demeanor. Although she was older, her face possessed a serene and profound beauty, and one could still see the stunning beauty she had in her youth.
The man beside her had captivating phoenix eyes, a devilish charm, and androgynous good looks. His brows and eyes exuded a nonchalant and lazy air, yet he possessed the aura of a cool and aloof nobleman.
If there's one second person who truly amazed her, it would probably be him, the Second Prince, Feng Mo Ran.
The woman accompanying him was a princess of the Qi Kingdom, now the Imperial Noble Consort of the Tianzhao Kingdom, Cang Xixue, whose name perfectly reflected her character.
Mu Chenshuang looked at them.
Until the two got closer.
Mu Chenshuang bowed and said, "This humble woman, Mu Chenshuang, greets the Imperial Noble Consort and the Second Prince."
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words, Xue Jiajia finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Greetings, Imperial Noble Consort, Second Prince."
Cang Xixue's gaze swept over Mu Chenshuang for a moment, then she said gently, "Princess Weiyang and Miss Xue, there's no need for such formalities. I presume you have already seen the Empress Dowager's condition. May I ask how the Empress Dowager is now?"
Mu Chenshuang replied, "The Empress Dowager's condition is not optimistic, but with Physician Ji here, I believe we can prolong her life."
"That's good then. We won't disturb you any longer."
After the two left.
Mu Chenshuang looked away, then at Xue Jiajia, and gently patted her shoulder. "Hey! They're gone."
Xue Jiajia shuddered, startled back to her senses.
"You seem to be very afraid of the Second Prince."
Just now, Xue Jiajia did not call him cousin, but addressed him as the Second Prince.
Xue Jiajia glanced at Mu Chenshuang, pursed her lips and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, I just can't explain it. I've never dared to say a word to him since I was a child, and he's never been close to anyone."
Mu Chenshuang chuckled softly and said, "I'm naturally afraid of him. Do you know what that's called?"
Xue Jiajia asked in confusion, "What?"
Mu Chenshuang said mockingly, "Bloodline suppression."
Xue Jiajia snorted, but didn't refute it. She did have that feeling. "Don't you feel a sense of danger when you see him?"
Mu Chenshuang looked into the distance, her eyes deepening with understanding.
"indeed."
Like hunters lurking in the darkness.
As the eldest son of the Imperial Noble Consort, Feng Mo Ran should theoretically have a higher status than Feng Yun Qi. However, Feng Yun Qi has already been granted the title of Prince, while Feng Mo Ran is still a prince.
It is evident that the Imperial Noble Consort who came for the political marriage had long lost all favor and had no powerful backing in the court. Thus, the mother and son were indeed weak and vulnerable, walking on thin ice.
But seeing Feng Mo Ran today, I'm afraid he's not simple.
Feng Mo Ran accompanied Cang Xi Xue to Ci Ning Palace.
“This Princess Weiyang looks different from before,” Cang Xixue said with a puzzled expression.
Feng Mo Ran replied, "I heard that the Crown Prince almost drowned Princess Weiyang for the sake of his concubine. On His Majesty's birthday banquet, Princess Weiyang exposed him in public and proposed a divorce."
Cang Xixue was surprised, "Such a thing actually happened? So the Crown Prince is acting without distinguishing right from wrong. But the Crown Prince shouldn't be such a muddle-headed person, should he?"
Feng Mo Ran's thin lips curled up, his long, narrow phoenix eyes dark and unfathomable, as he replied, "The Crown Prince is ultimately just an ordinary person, and he will always act irrationally when faced with love."
Cang Xixue said regretfully, "Indeed, lust is a double-edged sword."
"Even so, that concubine is also a young lady from the Duke's mansion."
"Is that so? But she can't compare to Lord Mu, who holds real power. Now that the two are divorced, I'm afraid many people will have designs on Princess Weiyang."
"indeed."
Mu Chenshuang returned to the gate of Cining Palace, where Fu Junheng and Feng Ji had also returned.
Thanks to Ji Luoyan's treatment, the Empress Dowager was finally saved.
It was getting late.
Feng Guche then dismissed everyone.
When Feng Yunqi saw Mu Chenshuang, he took the opportunity to apologize to her for what happened that day, but Mu Chenshuang did not take it to heart.
On the way out of Cining Palace.
Mu Chenshuang asked Feng Ji some questions, "How much does the Prince of Xiaoyao know about the Second Prince?"
The words were spoken in an instant.
Fu Junheng's face darkened, but Mu Chenshuang was completely unaware.
But Feng Ji noticed this subtle change in him out of the corner of his eye. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he teased, "Does Princess Weiyang have feelings for him if she asks this? If Princess Weiyang wants me to be her matchmaker, I would be more than happy to do so."
As they spoke, he kept an eye on Fu Junheng's expression, and sure enough, his face was so cold it looked like he could devour him.
Tsk tsk tsk, he absolutely wouldn't believe it if you said that Jun Heng has no feelings for Princess Weiyang right now.
Weiyang County mainly had its eye on Feng Moran, which was a blatant blow to Jun Heng, who was known as the most handsome man in Xuanzhou Continent.
Upon hearing Feng Ji's words, Mu Chenshuang's lips suddenly stiffened, her expression froze, and she chuckled, "The Prince of Xiaoyao is quite the joker. I am not such a shallow person."
