Although Cang Xixue has not shown it since returning to the palace, Mu Chenshuang felt that Cang Xixue must still harbor hatred deep down.
Now that Feng Mo Ran has almost completely taken control of the court and the palace, this mother and son are in power, and it seems that Shen Bi Yun and Feng Xi Lan will have a tough time in the future.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly felt uneasy: Oh no, the Empress and Prime Minister Shen are probably going to be targeted next.
"Shuang'er? Shuang'er, what are you thinking about?" Lord Mu said a few words to Mu Chen Shuang, but she didn't respond, so he frowned and raised his voice a few decibels in dissatisfaction.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly came to her senses and raised her hand to tuck the stray hairs from her forehead to hide her worry.
"Nothing, what did Father just say?" Mu Chenshuang replied with a slight smile.
Lord Mu shook his head helplessly and said, "I say, since you are going to the palace tomorrow, I will do as you say. However, if you are treating the Emperor in the palace, you must be careful with your words and actions and never act impulsively like before."
Mu Chenshuang remained noncommittal, only rising to say calmly, "I understand, Father, please rest early."
After leaving Lord Mu's courtyard, Mu Chenshuang was still thinking about Feng Guche. When she passed by Lu Wei's courtyard, her ears twitched and she vaguely heard that there was another argument inside.
"Mother, I won't marry him! I don't like him! He's not good enough for me! I'm going to be a princess! I won't give up!" Mu Yazhi shouted.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang sneered and strode away. Mu Yazhi was indeed a woman with big breasts but no brains, completely oblivious to the changing times.
It's understandable that Lu Wei loves her daughter so much and wants to find her a good home, but even though she's hinted at it so much, Mu Yazhi doesn't understand at all.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head and continued walking towards her own courtyard.
But she had only taken a few steps when she ran into Mu Chunxi walking towards her.
Mu Chunxi was also there to see Lord Mu. When she saw Mu Chenshuang, she subconsciously frowned and her eyes were full of hostility.
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks. In the courtyard where only the two of them were, she finally couldn't help but speak, "Since when did you start to hate me so much? Is it because of Lu Wei? Or..."
With an equally cold gaze, Mu Chenshuang hesitated for a moment before deciding not to directly mention Fu Junheng's name.
But the result was the same. After hearing her words, Mu Chunxi was only slightly stunned, but did not say a word to explain.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Mu Chunxi suddenly spoke up again: "You'll find out sooner or later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Chunxi quickly left. Mu Chenshuang felt a chill and the assassin brush past her at such close range.
Lost in thought, Mu Chenshuang turned to look at Mu Chunxi's back, her guess already pretty much complete.
She still couldn't understand why, even if it was really because of Fu Junheng, Mu Chunxi didn't need to hate her to this extent. Mu Chunxi's murderous intent towards her was already too obvious.
Moreover, when she asked earlier, Mu Chunxi didn't try to hide or deny anything at all. It seems that Mu Chunxi really intends to go down this path to the bitter end, so she has no choice but to be on guard.
When Mu Chenshuang returned to her courtyard, Linglong happily walked towards her with a letter in her hand.
Seeing her like this, Mu Chenshuang already guessed that the letter was sent by Qi Ye.
