Feng Hao had always been dissatisfied with Consort Ling's previous peaceful demeanor in the palace. This vast palace was originally a place where power struggles were fought without bloodshed; if you did not fight, you would inevitably become a victim of others' struggles.
Ever since he learned that he was not Consort Ling's son, but rather the son of a servant, his desire to seize power grew stronger. He did not want to sit idly by and wait for his death, nor did he want to become someone else's prey in the future.
Feng Hao did not decide to confess to Ling Fei.
Mu Chenshuang overheard their conversation clearly, and her guess was indeed correct: the person who assassinated Wei Xu was Feng Hao.
This means that the person who made the move that night was this palace maid. She actually knew the original owner's mother's palm technique, so her identity must be extraordinary.
She's right. Although Feng Hao isn't Ling Fei's son, they're already in the same boat. Ling Fei can't stop Feng Hao from doing what he wants now, and they have a common enemy—her.
If Feng Hao dares to lay a hand on her once, he will definitely do it again.
After Feng Hao left.
Mu Chenshuang quietly left Xingde Palace. She couldn't stay long. However, when she crossed the covered bridge, she encountered Feng Moran walking towards her. His black hair fluttered lightly without wind, and he had a face more beautiful than a woman's. He was effeminate and enchanting, yet he did not show any feminine air. His lazy eyes and posture seemed to be indifferent to everything in this world, yet he also seemed to have everything under his control.
Feng Mo Ran looked at Mu Chen Shuang, walked straight up to her, and took the initiative to say, "Princess Wei Yang, how have you been?"
It's quite a coincidence that we could meet in this vast palace.
Mu Chenshuang greeted him politely, "Second Prince, how have you been?"
Feng Mo Ran casually asked, "What brings the Princess to the palace today?"
Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, "It's nothing. I'm going to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. If the Second Prince has nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she nodded slightly as a sign of courtesy, then stepped around Feng Moran. She didn't want to have any more contact with this man and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
She hadn't walked far when she heard Feng Moran suddenly ask, "How has Princess Weiyang been feeling lately?"
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly stopped, turned around and looked up at Feng Moran, her eyes slightly narrowed, "I wonder what Your Highness, the Second Prince, means by this?"
Feng Mo Ran turned around, a cryptic smile curving her lips. "It's nothing. The weather is unusually changeable this spring, so you have to take care of yourself."
After Feng Mo Ran finished speaking, she turned and left.
Mu Chenshuang stood there, staring intently at Feng Moran's departing figure, her fingers clenching tightly. He couldn't have said those words without reason; did he know she was pregnant?
Thinking back to the time she fainted last time, could it be that he had already tested her then?
But his words didn't sound like he was simply concerned about her health. What did he really mean, and what was his purpose?
For the time being, she couldn't figure out what Feng Mo Ran was planning to do.
However, it seems he hasn't brought this up; for now, he'll just have to wait and see.
Mu Chenshuang left the palace and went to Tonghe Pharmacy.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, the main door was tightly closed. Mu Chenshuang went to the back door and knocked.
Soon, the young apprentice opened the door. Upon seeing Mu Chenshuang, he exclaimed excitedly, "Princess Weiyang, you've arrived!"
Where is Dr. Li?
The young apprentice said worriedly, "Someone has arrived, and he doesn't seem to have any good intentions."
Mu Chenshuang strode into the house. When she arrived at the pharmacy, she saw Qi Zhen sitting on a stool, solemnly flipping through the medical scroll in his hand.
