Mu Chenshuang's beauty is undeniable at any time. Even though she doesn't wear any overly flashy or expensive jewelry or accessories, she seems to possess a kind of magic.
As long as Mu Chenshuang stood there, she could attract all his attention. He could even hear his own steady and powerful heartbeat become rapid at that moment.
Mu Chenshuang didn't notice the somewhat infatuated look in Shen Nanzhi's eyes, or perhaps she did notice but deliberately ignored it.
But she noticed a hint of joy in Shen Nanzhi's bright eyes, as if he had something good to tell her and couldn't wait to do so.
The thought that Shen Nanzhi might have persuaded his father, Shen Chengtong, to join forces with them filled Mu Chenshuang with a sense of joy, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Did you need something from me?" Mu Chenshuang spoke first, her voice gentle and clear, which sounded so melodious to Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi stared at Mu Chenshuang with his bright eyes and nodded earnestly, "Yes."
Mu Chenshuang nodded upon hearing this. Since the outside was not the place to talk, she gestured for Shen Nanzhi to follow her into the Marquis's residence to discuss the matter further.
Shen Nanzhi understood and walked quietly alongside Mu Chenshuang towards the courtyard where Mu Chenshuang lived.
The two remained silent throughout the journey. Mu Chenshuang walked intently with her eyes fixed straight ahead, while Shen Nanzhi would occasionally turn back to look at Mu Chenshuang.
"Come in." Mu Chenshuang pushed open the door, leaving Linglong and Honghua to stand guard outside.
The two entered the house and had barely sat down when Mu Chenshuang asked first, "General Chen, have you agreed?"
Shen Nanzhi nodded, though he was still quite apprehensive before telling his father, Prime Minister Shen, about it.
After all, Prime Minister Shen had tried several times to prevent himself from getting close to Mu Chenshuang, but he could not stop Shen Nanzhi's heart and had to give up.
But this time, when Prime Minister Shen listened to his words, he actually agreed after only a moment's thought, which was quite unexpected for him.
“Yes, my father really agreed.” Shen Nanzhi’s happiness was evident as he spoke.
Several times when Mu Chenshuang was in danger, Fu Junheng stayed by her side and helped her on several occasions, which often made him feel frustrated and useless.
But this time, Fu Junheng was no longer here. Instead, he was by Mu Chenshuang's side, facing these important matters together.
If they can get through this difficult time together, will Mu Chenshuang finally have a place for him in her heart?
Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi's heart pounded uncontrollably. He believed that his waiting would one day earn him Mu Chenshuang's memory.
The fact that Prime Minister Shen agreed to join forces was both a pleasant surprise and something that Mu Chenshuang had expected.
After all, Prime Minister Shen is aligned with Empress Shen Biyun and Crown Prince Feng Xilan, and the current situation in the court is somewhat dangerous for both the Empress and the Crown Prince.
If bringing up the matter of the Prince of Libei could change or skew the court's situation, expose the powerful and treacherous officials behind it, and solidify Crown Prince Feng Xilan's position, then taking some risks would be worthwhile.
"My father asked me to ask Shuang'er what you plan to do next?" Shen Nanzhi asked earnestly. His heart had completely surrendered to Mu Chenshuang. He would listen to and do whatever she said.
