In the whole world, there are times when someone is greater than the emperor?
After thinking about all this, the servants were thrown into chaos.
Before they could even catch their breath, everyone was taken into custody by the city guards.
At this moment, the area outside the Prime Minister's residence was already packed with people.
Many people witnessed the prime minister being arrested by the city guards.
The onlookers only dared to whisper among themselves after Feng Mo Ran and the Prime Minister had left.
Even when they were discussing it, they kept their voices down.
"What's going on? What has the Prime Minister done wrong?! Why have even the city guards come out?"
"The Prime Minister has served in the court for many years, and his daughter is the current Empress. Even the current Crown Prince has to call the Prime Minister 'Grandpa.' What serious crime has he committed to warrant his arrest?"
"We don't know much about what's going on in the court, so it's best not to discuss it too much. But this matter must be quite serious, otherwise why would even the prime minister be arrested?"
"Isn't this Young Master Shen a general? They wouldn't have arrested him too, would they?"
...
For a time, everyone was talking about this matter.
Even though no one knew what had happened, seeing the city guards' menacing appearance just now gave everyone a sense of foreboding.
Before long, the news had spread to everyone.
The Marquis of Jingbian's Residence.
Mu Quan was drinking tea in the living room when a guard rushed in, panting heavily and looking very flustered.
"My lord! Something terrible has happened! Prime Minister Shen has been taken away by the Second Prince."
Marquis Jingbian put down his tea, a look of confusion on his face, and was still in a daze.
"Took it away? Take it where?"
The guard answered.
"A quarter of an hour ago, the Prime Minister ordered the Second Prince to be imprisoned, and he is currently being held in custody!"
"What?!"
He suddenly stood up from the chair, his face full of disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Feng Mo Ran was so audacious as to detain the Prime Minister in broad daylight!
"He's gone mad! He's gone mad! Has Feng Mo Ran gone insane?! Why on earth does he want to arrest the Prime Minister?"
The guard spoke up from the side.
"According to Feng Mo Ran, Prime Minister Shen was the mastermind behind the wrongful conviction of the Prince of Li Bei."
"What a joke! This is utter nonsense! How could Prime Minister Shen possibly be involved in framing the Prince of Libei? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to suppress him!"
As soon as Mu Chenshuang reached the corridor, she heard Mu Quan's furious voice.
After receiving the news, I thought I would discuss it with my father, but before I even entered the house, I heard these words.
It seems that Father already knows about this.
Mu Chenshuang quickened her pace and hurried inside.
Seeing the guards reporting, Mu Chenshuang asked again.
"You mean, Feng Mo Ran detained the entire Shen family?"
"Yes, Princess!"
Marquis Jingbian was somewhat flustered; the news was too sudden for him.
Even though he was prepared to fight Feng Mo Ran, the fact that Feng Mo Ran had imprisoned the Prime Minister still shocked Mu Quan.
"Father……"
Mu Chenshuang had just opened her mouth when Mu Quan waved his hand to interrupt her.
"Shuang'er, don't say anything. I need to go and see what's going on! This Feng Mo Ran is too lawless. How dare he lay a hand on the Prime Minister!"
"Father, no!"
Mu Chenshuang frowned and stepped forward to stop Mu Quan.
