After pondering for a moment, Mu Chenshuang leaned her upper body closer to Shen Nanzhi and whispered in his ear.
When the warm breath touched his neck, Shen Nanzhi was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and listened attentively to what Mu Chenshuang had told him.
A moment later, after Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, she adjusted her posture and sat back down.
Despite the sudden surge of emotion, Shen Nanzhi remained rational. He paused for a moment, his eyes deepening, and said earnestly, "So that means we already have evidence, but it's not the right time yet. We can only wait and hold back for now."
Mu Chenshuang nodded. She had just instructed Shen Nanzhi that during this period, although they could only hold back for the time being, Shen Nanzhi should do his best to consolidate the military power in his own hands.
Only by truly controlling military power can they have more options for their own future.
In addition, to bring up the matter of the Prince of Libei again, two things are needed: the most important thing is for the Empress Dowager to speak out, and the other is for the Empress to be released from confinement.
Now, the Empress Dowager's condition has improved. If all goes well, when she enters the palace again tomorrow, she may be able to see the Empress Dowager speaking clearly.
As for the Empress Dowager, her words when she last met Feng Xilan had worked. Now that Crown Prince Feng Xilan is focused on political affairs, she believes the Empress should be able to emerge soon as well.
Besides that, there was something else that had been lingering in Mu Chenshuang's mind, making her feel suffocated.
With a darkening in her eyes, Mu Chenshuang took out Xie Changqing's jade pendant from her person and handed it to Shen Nanzhi.
"Although I know that investigating the cause of my mother's death will be very difficult, as there is a lack of witnesses and physical evidence, I still cannot give up."
"Although the Second Prince Feng Mo Ran should know something, I absolutely refuse to obtain it at the cost of my allegiance to him. So, after thinking it over, I can only ask Nan Zhi to secretly investigate this matter for me again."
Every time Xie Changqing's matter is mentioned, Mu Chenshuang feels particularly powerless.
No matter how much she hoped that Lord Mu would believe her, Lord Mu always intended to keep this from her.
Shen Nanzhi accepted the jade pendant, but he was also puzzled. He asked in confusion, "Shuang'er, you've already asked the Marquis, but he still won't tell you?"
Mu Chenshuang nodded helplessly, indicating her agreement. She believed that there were very few things that were out of her control now, but she still couldn't do anything about Lord Mu's stubborn temper.
Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi clenched his fist, held the jade pendant in his palm, and said solemnly, "Shuang'er, don't worry, I will definitely investigate and tell you the whole story."
Mu Chenshuang believed him, a glimmer of hope and reassurance flashing in her bright, dark eyes.
"From my father, all I know is that my mother had met Zhu Qin, the chief of the Chengtianjian, before she died. If it was the ruthless Zhu Qin who forced my mother to her death, it wouldn't be surprising."
"However, I will personally avenge this blood debt from him sooner or later." Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, flashing a chilling light that instilled fear. The angry flames in her eyes spoke volumes about her current mood.
Shen Nanzhi suddenly reached out and grasped Mu Chenshuang's hand, comforting her, "Shuang'er, don't worry, I will definitely avenge your mother."
