Mu Quan stared at Mu Chenshuang in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
"Shuang'er, what are you trying to do? Why are you stopping me? You should know that Feng Mo Ran has already started to take action against the Prime Minister's residence. We are interdependent with the Prime Minister, so how can we stand idly by?"
Mu Chenshuang knew that Mu Quan was anxious, but the more anxious he was, the less she could act rashly.
If you panic at this moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
“Father, since Feng Mo Ran dared to arrest the Prime Minister, he must have been acting on the Emperor’s orders. If you step in to protect him at this time, you will inevitably be suspected of being an accomplice.”
"Even if we need to save people, we can't confront them openly. We should figure out a way in private. The most important thing now is to remain still and see what the Emperor says."
"Father, please calm down. I will send someone to inquire about the situation."
Mu Chenshuang's words calmed Mu Quan down.
After letting out a long sigh, Mu Quan reached out and touched his forehead.
"Your Majesty is truly foolish! The Prime Minister has served as an official for many years; how could he possibly frame the Prince of Libei? Why did Your Majesty listen to Feng Moran's words?"
Mu Chenshuang shook her head helplessly.
Even now, my father still refuses to believe that this was all the Emperor's doing.
Back then, the emperor feared that the Prince of Libei's achievements overshadowed his own, so he unwittingly convicted the Prince of Libei, resulting in the execution of his entire family.
Now, Feng Mo Ran has gone to great lengths to arrest the Prime Minister.
Without the Emperor's decree, how could Feng Mo Ran have such audacity?
"It's not that the Emperor believed Feng Mo Ran's words, but rather that this was the Emperor's intention."
Mu Chenshuang's words made Mu Quan suddenly realize the truth.
Mu Quan stumbled into a chair, his face filled with despair.
"Shuang'er, you're right. If the Emperor doesn't agree to this, even if Feng Mozhan had the greatest courage in the world, he wouldn't dare to arrest the Prime Minister!"
"What a pity! A prime minister who was upright and honest in office was framed by a villain. Isn't that..."
Mu Quan only got halfway through his sentence before shutting his mouth.
Isn't this the same as the wrongful case of the King of Libei back then?
The Emperor is truly confused; how could he allow such wicked people to run rampant!
"Go, mobilize everyone we can from our residence. We must find out what's going on in the Prime Minister's residence."
As soon as Mu Quan finished speaking, a guard immediately obeyed the order.
Mu Chenshuang was worried, and left after comforting Mu Quan.
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Mu Chenshuang received a message from Fu Junheng via carrier pigeon.
Seeing the familiar handwriting, Mu Chenshuang tidied herself up briefly and then went out with Linglong.
Fu Junheng wants to see me, and it has to be today.
Mu Chenshuang always felt that this was like a farewell.
After all, things are in chaos in Xiyue Kingdom right now. It's already quite an achievement that Fu Junheng came here at such great risk. If he stays here for too long, trouble might break out there.
And the truth was just as Mu Chenshuang had imagined.
The two met by a lake in the suburbs. Gazing at the clear lake water, Fu Junheng spoke slowly.
"Shuang'er, I'm going back now. Take good care of yourself after I leave, and be careful in everything you do."
Mu Chenshuang nodded, forcing a smile onto her face.
"I understand. These are turbulent times, and neither of us can turn things around. You must be extra cautious in everything you do."
Fu Junheng reached out and grabbed Mu Chenshuang's small hand, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
