In Shen Nanzhi's view, Fu Junheng had already left the capital, but he failed to take Mu Chenshuang with him. Didn't this prove that Mu Chenshuang chose to stay and that she gave up on Fu Junheng?
Whenever he thought of this, Shen Nanzhi's heart would pound wildly. He felt that perhaps it was because God had taken pity on his silent waiting and companionship that He had been given this opportunity again.
"Shuang'er, I..." His heart was pounding like a drum. Shen Nanzhi clenched his hands at his sides and decided to muster his courage to express his feelings to Mu Chenshuang once again.
However, Mu Chenshuang may have already seen the turbulent emotions and restless hesitation in his eyes, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
Mu Chenshuang coldly shifted her gaze, avoiding his not-so-innocent look, and spoke first with composure and indifference: "I did invite you here because there is indeed a very important matter, but it concerns family and national affairs and has nothing to do with any other private matters."
As the cruise ship passed through the narrow waterway, it suddenly rocked slightly, but even that slight movement made Shen Nanzhi feel unwell.
He instinctively braced himself against the table, his brows furrowed as he lowered his head.
He understood that Mu Chenshuang had rejected him again. Although she hadn't said it explicitly, she had left it at that. He was a smart man, so how could he not understand?
Is it just a matter of giving up?
He can't do it.
A glint of light flashed in Shen Nanzhi's deep eyes as he comforted himself.
Perhaps he was just too hasty. Fu Junheng had only been gone for a few days, and it was understandable that Mu Chenshuang was sad and reluctant to leave this relationship and accept someone else.
But after all, Fu Junheng has already left, while he can continue to stay by her side. There's plenty of time in the future, so there's really no need to rush things.
Thinking this way, Shen Nanzhi's dizziness seemed to have subsided a bit.
He completely suppressed his inner emotions, looked up and showed a faint smile, and said, "Okay, Shuang'er, you go ahead."
Mu Chenshuang pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Now we know that most of the people in the court and the palace are probably the Second Prince Feng Mozhan's people."
"Although we know quite a few people who have served him loyally, Mu Chenshuang became serious, exuding a powerful aura and a dignified presence that commanded respect in the capital of Shennan."
“We can’t keep being pushed around passively. Although taking sides on the surface will naturally displease the Emperor, if Feng Mo Ran can secretly collude with and control those ministers, why can’t we?”
Mu Chenshuang narrowed her eyes. "I've already thought it through. If we want to fight against Feng Mozhan, you and I, along with the forces behind the Crown Prince, must unite."
Shen Nan was taken aback, then his eyes lit up with surprise.
"Shuang'er, are you really sure?" Shen Nanzhi asked again, as if in disbelief, "Have you really made up your mind?"
Mu Chenshuang nodded firmly. She was well aware of the changes that her words today would bring to the political situation in the court.
But if they don't secretly unite, are they just going to wait for Feng Mo Ran to scatter them and wipe them out one by one?
Shen Nanzhi's heart was filled with joy, like the tea in the teacup placed in the cabin.
In recent days, Lord Mu and Mu Chenshuang's attitudes have remained somewhat neutral, which has given Feng Mozhan the illusion that she can win them over.
But now that Mu Chenshuang had made up her mind, he felt relieved. "Does Lord Mu know that you came to see me today, Shuang'er?"
