"If it really comes to that point, as long as the Crown Prince is willing to step forward, I will be just as loyal to him as these generals."
Shen Nanzhi had only one thought in his mind: as long as his family, including Prime Minister Shen, were safe and sound, and Mu Chenshuang was safe and sound, he didn't care about anything else.
He knew in his heart that he was not as blindly loyal as the Prince of Libei, the Marquis of Mu, or his own father, Prime Minister Shen.
Over the years, he has led troops on the front lines and witnessed the suffering of the people. He also knows that the current emperor is not the same as before; he has long been incompetent and tyrannical, causing many people to suffer.
Therefore, as long as the position is filled by a truly wise ruler who cares about the people and makes good use of loyal ministers, that will suffice.
Under the quiet light, Mu Chenshuang looked up at Feng Ji and saw that he also tacitly agreed with Shen Nanzhi's words, so she felt relieved.
Judging from the current situation, Feng Guche will soon become a puppet in the hands of Feng Mozhan and Cang Xixue. Unfortunately, as long as Feng Guche is still alive, the faction led by Crown Prince Feng Xilan cannot act rashly, otherwise they will probably bear the infamy for it.
Even after leaving, Mu Chenshuang still had a question in her mind: what exactly did Cang Xixue and Feng Mozhan plan to do next after Feng Guche was poisoned with a slow-acting poison?
Mu Chenshuang couldn't sort things out for the time being. On her way back to the Jingbian Marquis's residence, she even planned to secretly go to the palace another day to find out what was going on.
She figured that if she asked around more, she could eventually find some clues and maybe even figure out some leads.
Mu Chenshuang had no idea that she would never see Feng Guche or Feng Xilan again until she heard that Shen Biyun had an accident. Only then did she learn what had happened in the palace during that time.
Mu Chenshuang had no idea what would happen in the future. All she knew was that when she came to her senses and was about to step into the gate of the Jingbian Marquis's mansion, a dark figure suddenly appeared like a ghost and blocked her way.
Mu Chenshuang subconsciously raised her hand, ready to draw her sword, but when she saw that it was Mu Chunxi in front of her, she frowned slightly, looked her over, and became even more certain that the person who had followed her tonight and been shaken off was indeed Mu Chunxi.
Mu Chenshuang narrowed her eyes dangerously and looked up at her coldly. Because she lost track of Mu Chenshuang tonight and was unable to complete the task assigned by Feng Mozhan, Mu Chunxi was a little frustrated, which is why she impulsively lost her composure and blocked Mu Chenshuang here.
"Where did you go tonight?" Mu Chunxi glared at Mu Chenshuang with hostile eyes, her tone filled with barely concealed anxiety.
The composed Mu Chenshuang sensed the anxiety in her tone, gave a slight cold laugh, and naturally didn't take her words to heart.
"What, since when do I have to report to you where I go?" Mu Chenshuang's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Or did you want to go with me, but you couldn't?"
Mu Chunxi was taken aback by Mu Chenshuang's pointed words. She suddenly realized that Mu Chenshuang had already noticed that she was being followed, and that was why she had gone to such lengths to shake her off.
Thinking that Mu Chenshuang had really succeeded in getting rid of her, and that she had been exposed so easily, Mu Chunxi felt both angry and unwilling.
