Mu Chenshuang thought to herself, Fu Junheng has already left the capital. Could it be that Mu Chunxi wants to use the excuse of staying in the mountains for a while to go to Xiyue Kingdom?
But if Mu Chunxi really wanted to leave, why use such an excuse to cover it up? She could have just left like before, traveling around freely without any constraints.
What could possibly have led Mu Chunxi to choose such a flawed and self-defeating excuse?
Could there be some unspeakable secret behind this?
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mu Chenshuang came back to her senses.
She came to see Lord Mu today on important business; she would investigate Mu Chunxi's matter secretly later.
"Shuang'er, is there something you want to say to your father at this time?" Lord Mu also came out of his deep thoughts, looked up at Mu Chen Shuang, and got up to walk towards her.
Mu Chenshuang nodded, "Father, several factions in the court are secretly vying for power, and the Emperor is indulging in the pleasures of the Imperial Concubine, even skipping court for a long time. This can't go on."
"So, what are your plans?" Lord Mu sighed deeply. How could he not know what Mu Chenshuang was talking about?
But the emperor was high above all others, and not just anyone could persuade him. Even the empress, who was the mother of the nation, was placed under house arrest in the palace because of this.
“Regardless of whether the Emperor still values state affairs, he will always listen to one person’s advice.” Mu Chenshuang looked at Lord Mu with a piercing gaze, the light in her eyes inviting exploration.
"Oh? Who is it?" Lord Mu asked anxiously.
Mu Chenshuang calmly replied, "Empress Dowager."
"Empress Dowager?" Lord Mu was slightly taken aback, hesitated, and shook his head with a sigh, "How could Father not know the weight the Empress Dowager holds in the Emperor's heart? It's just a pity that the Empress Dowager is not so lucid now."
Lord Mu closed his eyes in anguish, unable to believe that the once martial and virtuous Tianzhao Kingdom, with its wise emperor, would one day fall into such a state.
“Yes, the Empress Dowager is no longer lucid.” Standing with her back to the light, Mu Chenshuang’s expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, “This further shows that those who want to control the Emperor in secret are very thoughtful.”
"That is precisely why the Empress Dowager is very likely to be the key to breaking the current deadlock."
With a firm and resolute look, Mu Chenshuang said, "Next, I plan to use the excuse of entering the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager and secretly treat her."
"Is this method feasible? Father is still a little worried about you." Lord Mu hesitated. "Now that the news of your superb medical skills, comparable to a miracle doctor, has already spread, who in and out of the palace doesn't know that you are skilled in medicine?"
"If you go to the palace every day, people in the shadows will definitely suspect that you are secretly treating the Empress Dowager." Lord Mu was very conflicted.
He knew very well that Mu Chenshuang's idea was right, but he was also worried about her safety.
Mu Chenshuang, however, did not seem worried about this. "Father, don't worry. Even the most skilled doctors can't cure every disease."
"Once the Empress Dowager regains her senses, as long as she cooperates, my life will certainly be safe." Mu Chenshuang's words were not meant to deceive or appease Lord Mu.
She did indeed have a way to cure the Empress Dowager's cerebral vascular blockage, restore her mind and clear speech, but the Empress Dowager was already old and had been subjected to poisoning and medication several times, so her body was already on the verge of collapse.
Mu Chenshuang was powerless to reverse the situation and could only prolong the time it took for the building to collapse, allowing the Empress Dowager to regain her senses.
So it's not entirely untrue that she also has an incurable disease.
Seeing that Mu Chenshuang had made up her mind, Lord Mu had no choice but to agree to her idea after thinking it over.
