Feng Guche, you are truly a foolish monarch!
One day you will pay the price for what you have done.
The Empress Dowager was trembling with anger, but Mu Chenshuang remained unusually calm.
At present, the Emperor's decision to depose the Empress is a done deal, just as he has already decided that Shen Chaoxian is the murderer who framed the Prince of Libei, and there is no way to change it.
As a result, the court was initially in chaos, and then everyone fell silent.
The final outcome was... the empress was deposed!
At this time, Feng Xilan was completely unaware of what was happening in the court, as she was still confined to the Crown Prince's residence.
...
Mu Chenshuang escorted the Empress Dowager back to Daoning'an Palace, and then left the palace.
Throughout the journey, Mu Chenshuang pondered everything that had happened that day.
Feng Guche was definitely prepared; this move truly caught them off guard.
Right now, Mu Chenshuang's biggest worry is Shen Nanzhi.
If it were difficult to know that Prime Minister Shen's crimes had been established, who knows what impulsive actions he might take.
Mu Chenshuang narrowed her eyes into slits as she looked up at the sky, her heart unable to calm down.
"You've already lost your composure?"
Feng Ji's voice suddenly came.
Mu Chenshuang did not turn around, nor did she change her previous posture. She continued to look up at the sky without moving.
Feng Ji's footsteps grew closer and closer until he stood right in front of her, at which point Mu Chenshuang finally looked away.
"Today's events have brought joy to some and sorrow to others."
Mu Chenshuang's voice was hoarse and slightly tired.
A complex emotion flashed in Feng Ji's eyes before he spoke.
"Actually, we had already anticipated this outcome, hadn't we? So you don't need to worry too much; this is not the final outcome yet."
"Isn't that right? I think it's come to an end. The Prime Minister has been convicted, the Empress has been deposed, and His Highness the Crown Prince is all alone now. Even with our help, what can he do?"
A bitter smile appeared on Mu Chenshuang's face, while Feng Ji raised an eyebrow.
"You still can't let go of Feng Xilan even now?"
Mu Chenshuang never expected that Feng Ji would suddenly ask such a question.
Mu Chenshuang gave Feng Ji a disapproving look, her eyes narrowing into slits.
"Your Highness is truly a man who indulges in romance and pleasure. At a time when the situation is extremely urgent, you still have such thoughts. I am truly impressed!"
"I'm glad you admire me, but I'm afraid you won't," Feng Ji said, then lowered his voice and added, "You know what I'm really thinking, don't you?"
"I'm not a mind reader, how would I know what you're thinking?"
Mu Chenshuang started to walk forward as she spoke.
Feng Ji quickly stepped forward and blocked Mu Chenshuang's path.
"Don't be angry, I was just trying to lighten the mood. What I'm most afraid of right now is something happening to Xiyue Kingdom. We're already in chaos here. What if something happens to Fu Junheng as well?"
Feng Ji's words made Mu Chenshuang's mood heavy once again.
If something really happens to Fu Junheng, then they're truly caught in a pincer movement.
"By the way, did you tell Fu Junheng about this?"
Mu Chenshuang suddenly turned to look at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Princess, I am just a leisurely prince. How could I have such extraordinary abilities? We haven’t even left the palace yet. How could I have sent a message? You overestimate me.”
