“Since His Majesty intends to convict the Prime Minister, then no one in the Prime Minister’s residence can escape punishment, including Shen Nanzhi. Now that Shen Nanzhi holds military power, I’m truly afraid of him…”
Mu Quan stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was already very clear.
Mu Chenshuang hesitated for a moment. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was already wavering in her heart.
She sent Liangchen Meijing to find Shen Nanzhi, but she didn't know where they were now. Before going to the Empress Dowager's palace, Mu Chenshuang received news that they had already set off.
“They are all hot-blooded men. Knowing that their family has suffered such a misfortune, Shen Nanzhi must be very upset. If what the Prime Minister did was true, then so be it, but the Prime Minister has been wronged.”
"I'm really worried that Shen Nanzhi might do something impulsive after he finds out about these things. I wish I could get in touch with him now."
"But the mountains are high and the rivers are far. Even if we send the message to Shen Nanzhi, the world here will change."
After he finished speaking, Mu Quan's brows furrowed more and more, and he was extremely agitated by the current situation.
Seeing her father so anxious, Mu Chenshuang simply voiced her thoughts.
"Father, don't worry. I've already sent people to find Shen Nanzhi. They're heading towards the capital and won't be here for long."
When she said these words, Mu Chenshuang's expression was very calm.
However, Mu Quan on the other side was losing his composure.
"What? You didn't discuss such a big matter with me? Shuang'er, why did you send someone to find Shen Nanzhi? Are you hiding something from me?"
Ever since the Prime Minister's accident, Mu Quan had been on edge. Now, hearing Mu Chenshuang say this, Mu Quan's head buzzed.
If Mu Quan hadn't heard Mu Chenshuang say this with his own ears, he would have doubted that there was something wrong with his ears.
This girl is too bold! How could she make such a decision on her own? She should know that this matter involves the Prime Minister's residence, and the Prime Minister is now guilty of a serious crime!
“Father, you have been busy with court affairs lately, and your thinking may not be thorough enough. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I’m doing, so I’m making the decision for you.”
"You're being ridiculous! If the Emperor finds out about this, the entire Marquis's mansion will be doomed!"
Mu Quan was extremely anxious, sighing as he spoke.
A bitter smile appeared on Mu Chenshuang's face, and her voice turned cold as she spoke.
"Does Father think that if we don't do this, the Emperor will let the Marquis of Jingbian's family off the hook? Given the Emperor's temperament, when has he ever trusted the Marquis of Jingbian's family?"
Mu Chenshuang's words were like a thunderclap.
Mu Quan stood there, stunned.
The emperor may never have truly trusted him; otherwise, so many people wouldn't have infiltrated his inner circle to observe him.
But no matter what, Mu Quan was still unwilling to accept this fact.
Seeing the hesitation on Mu Quan's face again, Mu Chenshuang's eyes widened in anger.
"Father, what kind of time is this? You're still thinking about the Emperor. Is he worth it? The Prime Minister has already been convicted by the Emperor. You should understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'!"
"How could I not understand? There is no way out right now."
