Mu Chenshuang glanced down at Song Liu, then turned away coldly, but Song Liu quickly followed her.
With red eyes, she began to sob, slapping her own face as she repeatedly apologized to Mu Chenshuang, "Princess, I was indeed wrong about this. I was foolish and shouldn't have tried to deceive you..."
“Now I really know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have tried to outwit the princess… Princess, now only you can help me with this. The crown prince is avoiding me and won’t let me enter the palace to visit Yu’er. The crown prince is trying to force Yu’er to her death.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang turned around abruptly, her sharp gaze flying directly towards Song Liu. Song Liu was startled by the oppressive and suffocating feeling and hurriedly shut her mouth.
"The Duchess should be careful with her words. You should know what crime it is to speak ill of His Highness the Crown Prince, shouldn't you?" Mu Chenshuang looked at Song Liu with sharp eyes.
Song Liu was taken aback and realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly shut her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Now the Duchess knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is preoccupied with many matters and should not be distracted by this. Although the Duchess cannot see her daughter, if she is wise, she should at least send someone to deliver a message to her, right?"
After Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, she gave her a cold glance and left.
Linglong, who was behind Mu Chenshuang, was still in shock after getting into the carriage. It took her a long time to come to her senses.
"I thought Miss hated Consort Xiao to the core, but I never expected that Miss would actually give the Duchess some pointers today." Linglong said with a curious expression.
Mu Chenshuang's watery eyes flickered slightly as she glanced out of the carriage and said calmly, "I'm not helping her, I'm helping the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince has only recently regained some of his former positions. If Xiao Qingyu is preoccupied with love at this time, and her heart is filled with nothing but love, and she wants to die if she can't get Feng Xilan's love, and causes a big commotion, it will be the Crown Prince who suffers."
Mu Chenshuang propped her chin up with her slender wrist. For some reason, she had a feeling that if Feng Xilan made another mistake and failed to gain the emperor's approval, she would likely be removed from her position and there would be no hope of recovery.
Throughout the journey, Mu Chenshuang remained silent, her brows furrowed, lost in thought. Linglong, seeing this, dared not interrupt her train of thought, and instead gazed intently at Mu Chenshuang.
Linglong never tires of looking at Mu Chenshuang's face, which has a three-dimensional contour and exquisite features.
In her eyes, every smile and frown of Mu Chenshuang captivated her heart. She was graceful and elegant, yet dignified and poised. The heroic spirit between her brows was mesmerizing. Linglong couldn't help but smile slightly as she looked at her.
"We're here. What are you daydreaming about?" After the carriage stopped, Mu Chenshuang raised her hand and gently patted Linglong's forehead.
Linglong snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and smiled sheepishly.
"You wait here. You're going to the palace today, so you should be able to come out soon." As she spoke, Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened.
After a long period of acupuncture, medicine, and the infusion of spiritual energy, the Empress Dowager's condition has improved significantly. If all goes well, she should regain her clarity of mind and be able to speak again within the next two days.
With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but quicken his pace as he entered the palace.
