Mu Chenshuang shook her head and reached out to gently touch her forehead.
Things are not that simple. The Second Prince, Feng Mo Ran, is a vicious man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He will not let this matter rest.
If I'm not mistaken, Feng Mo Ran will definitely use this opportunity to make a big fuss and disrupt the palace. This time, even the Jingbian Marquis's mansion might not escape disaster.
Everyone in the court knew that the Prime Minister's residence and the Marquis of Jingbian's residence complemented each other, like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
Feng Mo Ran regards the Prime Minister's side as a thorn in her side, and is certainly in a state of hostility with the Marquis of Jingbian's mansion.
It's just that it's not as obvious on the surface.
After Mu Chenshuang revealed her thoughts, Mu Quan looked astonished.
"Shuang'er, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? I, Marquis Jingbian, have made countless contributions to the Emperor's cause, and I have rendered outstanding service. Even if someone wanted to harm me, they would have to think twice."
Mu Chenshuang, however, had a different opinion.
I really don't know if my father was confused or just hadn't figured things out at that moment.
"No matter how great the Marquis of Jingbian's achievements or how high his official position, can he compare to the Empress? Now, even the Empress has been imprisoned by the Emperor, and that is the truth."
After saying that, Mu Chenshuang added the following.
"Father, don't let your own merits blind you. If you become complacent and think you've already achieved something, it will be too late when trouble comes."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Mu Quan of Jingbian broke out in a cold sweat.
The daughter's analysis was correct; no matter how high her official rank was, it was not as high as the Empress's.
It was only at this moment that Lord Mu felt fear and became terrified.
"Shuang'er, then... what should we do?"
Mu Chenshuang pondered for a long time before speaking.
"Fortunately, your father has military power, so you can now deploy troops and lay the foundation for the future."
After hearing this, Marquis Jingbian waved his hand.
"This is absolutely unacceptable. If we mobilize troops, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion, and then we will have lost more than we gained."
Mu Chenshuang stomped her feet.
"Father, our situation is now extremely precarious. If I'm not mistaken, their target is first the Empress, then Prime Minister Shen, and finally the Crown Prince!"
"Only by moving to our territory can the Second Prince Feng Mo Ran get what he wants. They won't give up until they achieve their goal!"
Now that Lord Mu was in a state of confusion, Mu Chenshuang's words gave him an idea.
"Although the Second Prince Feng Mo Ran is blinded by greed, he only holds a nominal title and has no real power. It is simply wishful thinking for him to try to bring down me and the Prime Minister. On the contrary, you are exaggerating a bit."
Mu Chenshuang tried to persuade her again.
"As the saying goes, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' I advise Father to make plans as soon as possible. We can make a covert operation while secretly making a covert one. If a crisis arises, we can get through it safely."
Mu Quan knew in his heart that Mu Chenshuang's analysis was very correct, and her caution was also for the sake of her family.
"Alright, better safe than sorry, I'll listen to you this time."
Mu Chenshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What does Father intend to do next?"
Mu Quan thought for a moment, a serious look flashing in his eyes.
"I want to station troops in Xia City. Xia City is less than a hundred miles from the capital. If there is any danger, they can come to our aid."
Mu Chenshuang spoke.
"At present, the border is constantly harassed by foreign enemies. We can take this opportunity to inform the Emperor that we need to conscript soldiers to quell the rebellion. We can also use this opportunity to conscript soldiers and stockpile grain to meet any unforeseen needs."
