The Marquis of Jingbian's Residence.
After Mu Chenshuang returned to the manor, Honghua hurriedly told her that Lord Mu was waiting for her.
Mu Chenshuang paused as she took off her outer garment and changed into her everyday clothes, feeling a little worried. At this critical juncture, the fact that Lord Mu suddenly saw her meant either that something was wrong or that he was going to give her some stern instructions.
Sure enough, when Mu Chenshuang saw Lord Mu, she saw that he had a stern and serious face.
"Where did he go?" Lord Mu asked with some anger. "The Second Prince investigated the case of the Prince of Libei back then. He not only investigated Song Jiang and his people, but also the Prince of Libei's close subordinates at the time."
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback, surprised: So fast?
Mu Chenshuang thought that her father, Lord Mu, was also a subordinate of the Prince of Libei and was valued by him. It seemed that Feng Mozhan had already extended his reach to them.
Lord Mu was clearly worried. Seeing that Mu Chen Shuang was stunned, he realized that his tone might have been too cold and serious, so he softened his tone and sighed, "Father is also worried that you will be targeted by the Second Prince."
"Although the Second Prince hasn't investigated Father's background yet, I think it's only a matter of time."
Lord Mu sighed, "Although I am not afraid of anything regarding the Prince of Libei, you know about the feud between the Second Prince and me. He might make a big fuss about it."
Mu Chenshuang pursed her lips. Seeing that Lord Mu was also aware of the potential danger, she was moved and wanted to tell him her whole plan.
"I went to see the Prince of Xiaoyao today, and didn't see anyone else." Mu Chenshuang said, walked to the door, nodded to Linglong outside, and instructed her to keep a close watch outside. Then she closed the door and quickly walked to Lord Mu's side.
"What Father is worried about is also what I am worried about. There is no other way now. If we want to protect ourselves, there is only one way."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she picked up a pen and paper from the table beside her and quickly wrote two large characters on it: "Start an uprising."
“Father, we are innocent. We cannot allow the injustice suffered by the Prince of Libei to be repeated on us.” Mu Chenshuang’s sharp eyes were filled with calmness and composure, her strategic calmness even surpassing that of Marquis Mu.
"Therefore, we must prepare in advance. If the Second Prince and the Emperor truly intend to do so, we can only..."
Mu Chenshuang paused, even making a throat-slitting gesture, but seeing that Lord Mu was too shocked to speak, she could only say in a low voice, "Strike first."
Clearly, even when facing the danger of being unjustly imprisoned, the upright and loyal Lord Mu never thought of rebelling or betraying Feng Guche.
After a long while, Lord Mu, in a panic, snatched the note with the word "rebellion" written on it from Mu Chenshuang's hand, burned it on a candle, and then threw the ashes on the ground.
He rebuked Mu Chenshuang in a serious and stern tone, "Shut up! Don't mention this matter again. If you dare to bring it up again, I will confine you to your quarters."
Mu Chenshuang frowned slightly at Lord Mu's reaction.
She felt that Lord Mu was being blindly loyal. Neither the current Feng Guche nor the future Feng Mozhan were wise rulers. They were cold-hearted, ruthless, stubborn, and cruel to the good. They were not people worthy of being loyal and capable ministers.
Unfortunately, Lord Mu, despite having seen the example of the Prince of Libei, refused to wake up and still harbored hopes and illusions about him.
