"The Marquis was just angry because Miss left the manor without permission. Now that Miss wants to go out again, what should we do if the Marquis finds out?"
Honghua paced back and forth anxiously, then turned and pulled Linglong's arm, saying, "You have to persuade Miss properly."
Although Linglong also looked worried, she was clearly more composed and calm than Honghua.
"Your Excellency surely knows that Miss is aware of the situation, but she won't even tell me where she went this time, which makes me very worried."
Honghua couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what to do.
If it were before Crown Prince Junheng left, she believed that no matter what her young mistress did, there would be no danger.
But things are different now. The Marquis's mansion looks like a storm is brewing, and to make matters worse, Crown Prince Junheng has returned to Shengjing. Who knows what the days ahead will be like?
Linglong was lost in thought when she heard the door behind her creak open.
"Miss."
Linglong and the other woman turned around quickly and immediately noticed the large veil on Mu Chenshuang's head.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Linglong blinked and looked Mu Chenshuang up and down with a puzzled expression.
Mu Chenshuang wore an extremely ordinary-looking outfit, paired with a veil that completely covered her face.
If one were not familiar with the person, it would indeed be difficult to tell that the person under the veil is the stunningly beautiful and renowned Princess Weiyang.
"Wait for me at the manor; I'll be back soon."
Through the thin veil cascading down from the veil, Mu Chenshuang could clearly see the appearance and expressions of the two people in front of her.
Seeing their worried expressions, he reached out and patted their hands to comfort them.
Then, Mu Chenshuang walked out of the courtyard with firm and quick steps, leaving the palace as swiftly as a wisp of smoke, disappearing into the vast sea of people.
She planned to secretly meet with a few people during this trip out of the mansion.
Whether it was the Empress Dowager's illness or the relationship between Feng Mo Ran and that jade pendant, both deeply touched her heart.
With the political situation in turmoil and unpredictable events, she could not sit idly by and wait for someone to tell her all of this.
She had to turn the tables and take the initiative in order to seize that glimmer of hope in the complex and treacherous situation and protect herself and the Marquis's mansion.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Mu Chenshuang had been making every effort to be cautious and proactive in her plans, wanting to be a clear-headed swordsman in control of the situation, but once she was deeply involved, it was impossible for her to remain unscathed.
Mu Chenshuang, who was also involved in the situation, had just left the Marquis's residence when she was already being watched by two groups of people in the shadows.
One of the men in black was one of Feng Ji's men.
Entrusted with a task, Feng Ji was determined to fulfill his promise. Having already agreed to Fu Junheng's request to take care of and protect Mu Chenshuang and the child in her womb, he indeed took it very seriously.
As for the other man, who wore a straw hat and a brown short-sleeved shirt, he looked no different from an ordinary person, but he quickly lowered his head when Mu Chenshuang passed in front of him.
From beneath his low-brimmed hat, the man revealed a pair of dark, wary eyes. After glancing around, he turned and followed Mu Chenshuang.
Inside a room on the fourth floor of Wanyue Lake.
The incense burner emitted wisps of blue smoke, and although it was summer, the room seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Feng Mo Ran narrowed his eyes, focusing intently on the map in front of him.
He twitched his ears and heard footsteps outside the door. He slightly raised his chin and slowly moved his fingers to put away the picture in front of him.
The door opened, and Mu Chunxi entered.
With a cold and aloof demeanor, Mu Chunxi bowed respectfully and said expressionlessly, "Second Prince, you wanted to see me?"
Feng Mo Ran's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she curled one corner of her lips, saying, "You already know that your Crown Prince Jun Heng has arrived in Shengjing, don't you?"
