If Feng Mo Ran wanted to, and if the emperor secretly supported it, this reinvestigation, which was clearly intended to clear the name of the Li Bei Wang family, could very well turn into another huge miscarriage of justice that framed loyal officials.
Feng Ji was silent for a moment. This was something they hadn't expected when they initially wanted to reinvestigate the case of the Prince of Libei.
"It was indeed my oversight." Feng Ji's expression became even more somber and serious, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to suddenly become heavy as well.
"Princess, which ministers do you think Feng Mo Ran will target with this opportunity?" Feng Ji already had an answer in his mind, but he still wanted to hear Mu Chen Shuang's opinion.
Mu Chenshuang's tightly furrowed brows revealed her inner worries. "Naturally, we support the Crown Prince's faction. I think the first to be affected are probably the Marquis of Jingbian's residence and the Prime Minister Shen's residence."
Feng Ji remained silent, completely acquiescing to Mu Chenshuang's idea.
"Perhaps Junheng was right at the time. It might have been better for Lord Mu to relinquish his military power sooner and serve as an official away from the capital." Feng Ji sighed, but things are unpredictable, and nothing can be arranged perfectly.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head. "If Feng Moran is determined, it's only a matter of time. If he intends to frame someone, even if he doesn't become a government official or military officer, he still won't be able to escape."
Feng Ji knew that her words made sense, so he remained silent.
"Besides, this isn't just a matter for the Marquis of Jingbian's family. Prime Minister Shen holds great power; how could he possibly be willing to hand these things over himself? Feng Mozhan will probably never let them off the hook." Mu Chenshuang clenched her fingers.
“If they are determined to push people to the brink,” Mu Chenshuang said after a brief silence, “there may only be one way to fight against the Second Prince and the Emperor now.”
Feng Ji's pupils contracted, and he frowned slightly as he looked at Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang remained silent, but then used her long, slender, white fingers to dip into the teacup and write a few words on the table. After Feng Ji saw them clearly, he used his palm to wipe the water stains on the table and destroy the writing.
After a brief moment of shock, Feng Ji quickly regained his composure and looked at Mu Chenshuang with disbelief and admiration.
"As expected of a military general, the princess is both brave and resourceful. Such a bold idea truly dares to be the first in the world. I admire her! I admire her!"
Feng Ji's words were not empty flattery, but rather heartfelt admiration.
Feng Ji's reaction further convinced Mu Chenshuang that although Feng Ji was a prince, he had long since become estranged from Feng Guche. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been shocked but then admired and agreed with her after seeing her thoughts.
Feng Ji seemed to see Mu Chenshuang's thoughts about him in her eyes, but he just smiled bitterly and remained noncommittal.
"Princess, rest assured. I will help you realize your wishes. Since I promised Crown Prince Junheng to protect your safety, I will naturally ensure that nothing happens to you."
Feng Ji said with a serious expression, "This matter is indeed extremely dangerous, and it is not appropriate for the princess to get involved. However, I will definitely make the princess's plan come true."
“Princess, it’s not a good time for you to see General Shen. I will go see him in your place.” Feng Ji’s voice was calm and reassuring.
Mu Chenshuang nodded upon hearing this. She naturally trusted Feng Ji and believed that entrusting this matter to him would surely succeed.
"Alright, Your Highness and General Shen will be extra careful." Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Chenshuang got up to take her leave.
