Taking this relationship into account, Feng Mo Ran changed his mind. He wanted to create the illusion of targeting the Jingbian Marquis's mansion first, but in reality, he wanted to deal with Prime Minister Feng Xi Lan and the Empress.
Once this lineage falls, he believes that Lord Mu and Mu Chenshuang might change their minds and pledge allegiance to him. If they remain stubborn, it will be a pity. At that point, he will certainly not be merciful.
Feng Mo Ran tapped his chin with his slender fingers, pausing occasionally as he pondered the plans in his mind.
Yun Xiu stood to the side the whole time, and could tell that Feng Mo Ran was plotting something. He stood there without daring to make a sound.
After a moment, Feng Mo Ran got up, walked to a military fortress map hanging in the inner room, spoke softly, dismissed Yun Xiu, and silently looked at the map in front of him, lost in thought.
After leaving the main hall, Yun Xiu did not leave but instead stood guard outside the hall.
A moment later, his ears twitched, and he immediately raised his head with a sharp look in his eyes. When he saw that it was Ji Luoyan walking towards him, the sharp look in his eyes disappeared.
Ji Luoyan glanced at Yun Xiu with a nonchalant expression and asked, "Is the Second Prince inside?"
Yun Xiu nodded politely, but remembering that Feng Mo Ran hadn't been in a good mood earlier, he reached out to stop Ji Luo Yan.
Ji Luoyan was slightly taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly. She was clearly puzzled and displeased by his obstruction. She parted her cherry lips and said, "What, is the Second Prince not receiving guests today?"
Yun Xiu said, "Madam Qi, the Second Prince is in a bad mood today. Please wait a moment while I go and report to him."
Upon hearing this, Ji Luoyan dared not act presumptuously in front of Feng Moran's palace and could only acquiesce to Yun Xiu's words.
Yun Xiu turned around nimbly, went inside and came out again in no time.
"Please come in, Madam Qi." As soon as Yun Xiu entered, Feng Mo Ran complained that he was being nosy. Yun Xiu immediately realized that he shouldn't have told Ji Luo Yan that Feng Mo Ran was in a bad mood.
Ji Luoyan raised her eyes, stepped over the threshold, and walked gracefully toward Feng Moyan.
"Your Highness." Ji Luoyan curtsied to Feng Moran, her voice gentle, her expression no longer cold and indifferent as it was elsewhere, but even revealing a hint of affection.
Feng Mo Ran slightly raised her phoenix eyes, only glancing at her lightly. Her expression was very calm, revealing neither her likes nor dislikes, nor her distance from Ji Luo Yan. She simply nodded to Ji Luo Yan in response.
Ji Luoyan sat down familiarly to the side, handed over a medicine bottle and said, "This can greatly increase Your Highness's internal strength, and it is completely harmless to the body."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Mo Ran's eyes, which seemed as calm and still as a deep pool, suddenly brightened and he reached out to take the medicine bottle from her hand.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand from the medicine bottle, Ji Luoyan lowered her eyes slightly and her fingers seemed to intentionally brush against the back of Feng Mozhan's hand.
Feng Mo Ran frowned slightly for a moment, but quickly regained his deep calm in his eyes, revealing his emotions. He looked at Ji Luo Yan with a probing and meaningful gaze.
Then Ji Luoyan raised her head, her eyes gentle and her lips smiling, her eyes filled with obvious flattery and ingratiation.
Although Feng Mo Ran's expression remained ambiguous, he did not show absolute disgust or rebuke, which gave Ji Luo Yan the courage to continue exchanging glances with Feng Mo Ran.
"I heard that the Second Prince is in a bad mood today. Perhaps it's because of what happened in court?" Ji Luoyan said softly, with a flattering and understanding tone. "This matter is not worth worrying about for the Second Prince. What is meant for the Second Prince will surely come back."
