"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the Emperor saw that Prime Minister Shen had relented, the expression on his face finally softened.
"That's enough! If there's nothing else, you may leave."
The prime minister struggled to his feet, bowed to the emperor, and then left the palace.
The Prime Minister also learned in the palace that the Crown Prince was now confined to his residence and could not leave.
Upon receiving the news, the Prime Minister rushed to the Crown Prince's residence. Only after meeting the Crown Prince did he get a clear understanding of the entire incident.
The crown prince slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"This must all be Feng Mo Ran's conspiracy. He just happened to lead his men to the Empress Dowager's palace and even found poison there! The reason is self-evident!"
The Prime Minister was completely bewildered, and after hearing Feng Xilan's words, he shook his head in frustration.
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. Now, Cang Xixue and her son have begun to fight back. Feng Moran is cunning and has long been a major threat to you!"
Thinking of the scene of Shen Biyun being dragged out by the guards, Feng Xilan's face turned frosty, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"I hope nothing goes wrong in the meantime. If I become emperor, the first thing I'll do is kill him to avenge my mother!"
After hearing this, the Prime Minister quickly looked around and thankfully there was no one else nearby.
The Prime Minister stepped forward and quickly offered a reminder.
"Your Highness, please keep your voice down. Walls have ears. If this gets to the Emperor's ears, it will be very bad for you."
Feng Xilan's face was cold as she gave a cold snort.
"It's all my father's fault for being too heartless. Even though this matter was full of loopholes, he was blinded by his own narrow-mindedness."
The prime minister wore a wry smile.
"It's a matter of life and death, so it's understandable that he got a little agitated. Fortunately, your mother is not in immediate danger, as long as you can keep your position as crown prince."
"We must not rush things now, and we must avoid making mistakes in the rush. We can only wait and see. If the Emperor does not change his mind, then we will have to rely on you to avenge your mother's humiliation in the future!"
Feng Xilan looked at the Prime Minister solemnly, "Grandfather is right."
The Prime Minister sighed softly, his brows furrowing deeply.
To remind Feng Xilan, Prime Minister Shen spoke another earnest and meaningful sentence.
"After this incident, the Emperor has developed a prejudice against you. You must be extremely cautious in your actions from now on, and never fall into the trap of treacherous people again!"
"I see."
...
The Second Prince's Residence.
As evening fell, Feng Ranmo gathered all his trusted confidants together, and once everyone had arrived, he recounted the events of the day to them.
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone began to flatter him.
"Your Highness is incredibly resourceful and has everything under control. Now that we have eliminated our greatest threat, we no longer need to hesitate when doing things in the future!"
A slight smile appeared on Feng Mo Ran's lips.
This statement is somewhat exaggerated, after all, their enemies are not only Empress Shen Biyun, but Feng Mozhan was naturally overjoyed at the thought that Feng Xilan was confined to his quarters because of this matter.
At this moment, Zhu Qin personally poured Feng Moran a glass of wine, and then raised the wine glass in front of him.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations! Given time, Your Highness will surely achieve your wish!"
Feng Mo Ran glanced at Zhu Qin sideways, then actually raised the wine glass in front of him. Everyone present then raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
