Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions.
Then several maids entered, carrying basins of water and dresses, and came in one after another.
Mu Chenshuang looked at the maid carrying brocade and silk, then looked at Fu Junheng, who explained, "It was prepared beforehand."
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, and the maidservants helped her get dressed and put on her headdress. Fu Junheng personally did her makeup and drew her eyebrows.
The approaching scent.
As Mu Chenshuang smelled his unique scent, she felt as if her heart was enveloped in warmth, a feeling of indescribable tenderness and fluttering. She even wanted to reach out and hug him.
At this moment.
Fu Junheng put away his eyebrow pencil and said slowly in a deep, magnetic voice, "This will probably be the last time I draw your eyebrows for Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang's heart trembled. She looked at him, and his deep golden eyes were filled with tenderness like a deep spring that made people want to drown in it. The feeling of suffocation was overwhelming, and she felt a sense of oppression in her heart.
After a while.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and turned her gaze away to avoid his eyes. She did not answer Fu Junheng's question.
Fu Junheng simply smiled faintly.
He then took out the gold medal from his pocket and placed it in her hand.
Mu Chenshuang was shocked. This was a gold medal bestowed upon her by His Majesty. How could it be in his hands?
Fu Junheng explained, "I took it from your room; it might come in handy today."
Mu Chenshuang was puzzled.
Fu Junheng just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Let's go!
After saying that, he pulled Mu Chenshuang to her feet.
After breakfast.
Fu Junheng led Mu Chenshuang to the palace.
Along the way.
Mu Chenshuang simply looked out of the carriage in silence.
Fu Junheng also looked to the other side.
The quiet and silent space only made people feel extremely dull.
They remained silent the entire way.
We arrived at the palace gate.
The guards stopped the carriage entering the palace for a routine registration and inspection.
When the guard recognized the person sitting inside the carriage, he bowed respectfully and asked, "Does Crown Prince Junheng have any orders from His Majesty?"
Fu Junheng's guard looked at the guard and said solemnly, "His Majesty previously granted my prince special permission to freely enter and leave the palace."
The guard explained, "His Majesty has issued a decree that from now on, all personnel outside the palace must have an imperial edict to enter."
Fu Junheng's brows furrowed slightly.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him. Even Fu Junheng was not allowed to enter or leave the palace at will, which was clearly an order specifically targeting Fu Junheng.
It seems he had anticipated this and took her gold medal ahead of time.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, lifted the curtain, and looked coldly at the guards. The moment the guards saw her take out the gold token, the soldiers blocking the carriage immediately knelt down, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"So, may I now enter the palace?"
The guards were terrified and didn't know what to do.
"Today, I, the princess, am going to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. I have heard that the Empress Dowager has been unwell recently. If I am delayed in going to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager, you will be held responsible."
The guards dared not stop them any longer and let the two enter the palace.
After seeing the carriage enter the palace gate.
The guard instructed the soldier beside him, "Go and inform Lord Li immediately."
"yes."
The carriage drove into the palace.
"It seems the palace has truly undergone a change of power," Mu Chenshuang said. "The person holding power behind the scenes is probably no longer the emperor."
Fu Junheng replied, "Shuang'er, you guessed right."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, her expression grave. Marquis Mu must have also noticed the changes in the court. What about Prime Minister Shen and those high-ranking and powerful old ministers? How could they stand by and watch the government be controlled by others without doing anything?
Fu Junheng seemed to see what Mu Chenshuang was thinking and said, "The emperor is in power now. If the emperor insists on his own opinion, even if the ministers kneel outside the palace gates to force him, they can't do anything if the emperor doesn't change his mind."
"When did the emperor become such a fool?"
Even if Feng Guche is suspicious and unable to distinguish right from wrong, he is not so muddle-headed and confused as to be this bad. His greatest skill is maintaining a balance of power in the court, but now the power has been completely tilted to one side.
Suddenly.
Suddenly realizing something, Mu Chenshuang blurted out, "Could it be that the Emperor has been drugged?"
Even when Feng Guche doted on Consort Rong before, he had never been so infatuated with her.
Fu Junheng did not deny Mu Chenshuang's words, "So the one who is seriously ill now is probably not the Empress Dowager."
"But seeing His Majesty now will probably not be an easy thing."
So let's go and check on the Empress Dowager's condition first.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Cining Palace.
Fu Junheng carefully helped Mu Chenshuang off the carriage.
Arrived outside the palace gate.
Mu Chenshuang noticed that the guards were not the same soldiers who had been on duty before; it was clear that a new group of people had been assigned to guard them.
In less than a month, the palace underwent a complete upheaval.
Upon seeing the two, the guards respectfully bowed and then informed them, "The Empress Dowager is in seclusion and will not see anyone. Please ask Crown Prince Junheng and Princess Weiyang to return."
