"Get up. I'll spare your life for now; I still have a use for you." Feng Mo Ran withdrew the killing intent around him and leaned back in his chair in a lazy posture.
"Why don't you just say it directly? What do you want from me using information about that child?" Feng Mo Ran raised his eyes slightly and asked casually.
Mu Chunxi was taken aback and could only quickly tell the truth, "Your subordinate understands. Your subordinate is not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the court, but your subordinate does know a little about it."
Seeing that Feng Moran remained silent, Mu Chunxi paused, but still dared not look up into his eyes. "I only hope that in the future, the Second Prince will spare my mother, brother, and sister, considering that I have served you..."
As Mu Chunxi's voice grew softer, Feng Mozhan slowly narrowed his eyes, a cold laugh escaping his lips.
They're all useless things; what's the point of keeping them?
Feng Moran remained silent for a long time. Faced with his ambiguous attitude, Mu Chunxi felt a chill in her heart and sensed an ominous premonition, but she dared not ask any questions rashly.
After a brief silence in the room, Feng Mo Ran still did not answer Mu Chun Xi's question, but said, "Don't forget what your original intention was when you came to seek refuge with this prince. Just do your own thing and don't meddle in things that are not your business."
"And don't try to be clever in front of me. This is my last warning to you," Feng Mo Ran said impatiently. "Speak! What exactly happened to the orphan of the Prince of Libei, and where is he?"
Hearing his words, Mu Chunxi, who had her head down, felt a chill in her heart. Feng Mozhan seemed to have said nothing, but in fact, he had said everything.
Thinking of how she initially betrayed Fu Junheng to seek refuge with Feng Mozhan, Mu Chunxi clenched her hands at her sides. She blamed all her hatred on Mu Chenshuang, and her resentment towards her deepened.
"That child is named Chengli. He was brought back by Mu Chenshuang and is now being raised by her in the courtyard. He practices martial arts every day and is disguised as a servant."
Mu Chunxi blamed everything on Mu Chenshuang, saying, "That child has been in the Marquis's residence for quite some time now. In my opinion, Your Highness, she must have known about this fact long ago."
"Even the ministers who demanded a reinvestigation of the Libei King's case at the birthday banquet that day were probably instructed by Mu Chenshuang. I think she must have had ulterior motives all along."
Mu Chunxi wished she could immediately pin countless charges on Mu Chenshuang so that she could kill Mu Chenshuang with her own hands as soon as possible.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave." Feng Mo Ran saw through Mu Chun Xi's sinister intentions at a glance. Annoyed by her nagging in his ear, he got up impatiently and turned his back.
Mu Chunxi wanted to say something more, but seeing Feng Moran's appearance, she didn't dare to speak again and could only bow and take her leave.
"Wait!" Feng Mo Ran suddenly turned around and said sternly to Mu Chun Xi, "Don't alert them for now. Continue to keep an eye on things for me in secret."
Mu Chunxi quickly agreed and then left.
That night, under the pitch-black sky, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful, but in the backyard of a certain clinic, it was not so.
Dr. Li, who was sound asleep, seemed to hear a clanging sound and was suddenly awakened, sitting up with a start.
Still half asleep and a little groggy, Dr. Li sat up and shook his head, as if he had suddenly woken up.
