Mu Chunxi slightly raised her chin, "As I just said, I spent some time in Shengjing, so I naturally know a bit about it."
Mu Chenshuang's expression turned serious, and her gaze towards Mu Chunxi deepened. "Do you know what the news you're talking about means to Fu Junheng and the Western Moon Kingdom?"
This can be considered a top-level military intelligence report.
Mu Chunxi remained calm, her eyes meeting Mu Chenshuang's gaze. She said, "I know you suspect me, Chenshuang, but that's all I can say to you. Whether you believe me or not is your business, but that's why I'm in a hurry to return to the capital. I want to confirm this."
"Since you know this, aren't you afraid that Fu Junheng will secretly take action against you?"
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression instantly darkened.
"So how did you get these injuries?"
Mu Chunxi explained, "That night I went to Yaoguang Residence, but luckily I escaped."
Aren't you afraid of being caught?
"Now that Yaoguangju has a lot of influence, I think Crown Prince Junheng would not dare to make any rash moves, so he should not be able to find out about me for the time being."
"Does Fu Junheng know you?"
"I don't know!" Mu Chunxi answered without hesitation. "Perhaps you don't know, Shen Shuang, although Crown Prince Junheng is the heir apparent, a large part of his power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has always wanted to establish a new prince as the crown prince. Now that Crown Prince Junheng has stayed in the capital and has not returned, there must be a reason for this."
As Mu Chunxi spoke, she suddenly sighed and continued, "Actually, I didn't want to tell you these things, Shen Shuang, because what I'm saying is indeed hard to believe. But I can see Father's anxiety lately, and I hope that Shen Shuang can think clearly about where she is and whether she and Crown Prince Jun Heng really have a future."
Mu Chenshuang's expression was unreadable.
"Did you tell Dad what you knew?"
"No, this matter is of great importance. After all, there is no evidence, so I dare not tell my father easily. The reason I told you, Shen Shuang, is that I don't want to see you get deeper and deeper into trouble and suffer consequences that you cannot bear in the future. If you don't believe me, you can test Crown Prince Jun Heng."
Mu Chenshuang stared intently at Mu Chunxi.
A brief silence.
She didn't ask any more questions, just said, "I understand."
Mu Chunxi looked at her and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, Chen Shuang."
Having said that, he turned and left.
As she turned around, a cold, sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
As Mu Chenshuang watched Mu Chunxi's departing figure, her fingers, which were resting on the table, gradually tightened, and she lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
Three days later, Yao Guang entered the residence.
Fu Junheng handed a map to Mu Chenshuang.
"This is what you wanted!"
Mu Chenshuang reached out and opened it. It was a topographical map of Yandang Mountain. The Libei King's main force had been wiped out due to misinformation and a lack of timely reinforcements.
The crime that was used to frame the King of Libei was that he had an affair with the State of Jiang.
Looking at the map, Mu Chenshuang knew that Yandang Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but there was a shortcut three kilometers from the North Mountain Road. If they entered from there, they would be able to sweep through the enemy with unstoppable momentum.
"The army of the King of Libei was annihilated here."
Fu Junheng pointed out the location, which was the shortcut.
"When the troops marched here, a heavy snow fell, which led to a misjudgment of the military situation. This was the main reason for the defeat of the King of Libei," Fu Junheng explained.
"Logically, such climatic conditions should not have been misjudged, which means that someone deliberately misled us."
"It is said that the Jiang Kingdom received a secret letter at that time and took precautions in advance. The only possibility is that there was a traitor in the army."
Mu Chenshuang said in a deep voice, "So who exactly wrote that secret letter?"
The only explanation is that treacherous officials in the court colluded with the Jiang Kingdom to destroy the army of the King of Libei. When they presented themselves to His Majesty, they claimed that they discovered the King of Libei's rebellious intentions, so they deliberately sowed discord between the two sides, allowing the Jiang Kingdom to annihilate the King of Libei's army in one fell swoop.
