"this……"
Feng Guche was already suspicious, and now that he heard Cang Xixue stirring things up, he began to waver.
Seeing the melancholy look on Feng Guche's face, Cang Xixue intensified her persuasion.
"Our dynasty may appear to be at peace, but beneath the surface, turbulent currents are brewing. We must not allow the legacy left by our ancestors to be destroyed. Even if there are sacrifices, they are for the sake of future generations!"
Feng Guche knew that Cang Xixue's purpose in coming up was to act as a persuader; he wanted to help Feng Mozhan convince himself.
However, to his surprise, Cang Xixue's words struck a chord with Feng Guche.
Feng Guche paced back and forth in the imperial study. Although his health had improved somewhat, his final moments still brought him the agony of life and death.
Feng Guche did not want to die so soon. If there was really no way to save him, he wanted to leave a peaceful future for posterity to comfort the spirits of his ancestors.
In the end, Feng Guche made a decision.
"Very well! Since we have both witnesses and physical evidence, let's proceed according to the law!"
Feng Guche seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps giving Cang Xixue a guarantee.
After saying this, Feng Guche raised his voice.
"Guards, summon the Second Prince to an audience."
After hearing this, the young eunuch standing nearby quickly spoke up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately."
After saying this, the young eunuch hurriedly left the imperial study.
At this moment, Feng Mo Ran was also restless and unable to eat or sleep while sitting in the living room.
Since he began managing the affairs of the previous dynasty, Feng Guche had never felt so flustered.
That feeling of unease made Feng Moran frown deeply.
Even without consciously thinking about what was happening inside the palace, various images flashed through Feng Mo Ran's mind.
I wonder if my mother can persuade Feng Guche.
Feng Mo Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, then thought of Mu Quan, Prime Minister Shen, and even Mu Chen Shuang.
Just then, a servant rushed over.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to deliver the Emperor's decree."
Feng Moran's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up.
"Please! Quickly, please invite them in!"
Not long after, a young eunuch appeared in front of Feng Mo Ran.
"Your Highness, this servant is acting on His Majesty's orders to summon you to the palace for an audience."
Upon hearing this, Feng Mo Ran's expression immediately became serious.
The Emperor only wanted to see her at this time for one reason: his mother had persuaded him.
"Okay, you can go back for now, I'll be there soon."
After Feng Mo Ran finished speaking, the little eunuch bowed respectfully and quickly left.
Feng Mo Ran narrowed his eyes to slits as he gazed at the magpies on the branches outside the window, and his mood improved considerably.
Magpies perching on plum blossoms are indeed a sign of good news.
Not long after, Feng Mo Ran changed her clothes and went to the Emperor's study in the palace.
Feng Mo Ran was dressed in a long black robe, exuding an extraordinary aura. Every gesture he made revealed his noble bearing, and he already had the air of a king.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
Feng Guche waved his hand.
"Get up. I called you here to tell you that since Prime Minister Shen has broken the law, he should be dealt with according to the law!"
After hearing this, Feng Mo Ran felt a surge of excitement, but her face showed no sign of joy.
Not only that, Feng Mo Ran's face showed a regretful expression.
The sheer grief evoked a sigh from Feng Guche upon seeing it.
