Mu Chenshuang glanced at it and said softly, "Tie it on!"
"yes."
Linglong tied the silk ribbon to the hair at the back of Mu Chenshuang's head. "Miss, it's done."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement and stood up.
Wei Xu arrived at the Marquis's residence early in the morning.
Mu Chenshuang asked Cheng Li to teach him poetry.
Wei Xu guessed what was going on. "You don't mean you want me to write poetry and paint, do you?"
"What else did you think?"
Wei Xu refused outright, saying, "I don't want to go. I'd rather use that time to practice martial arts." As he spoke, he even showed off his arm muscles.
During this period, he practiced martial arts with increasing vigor. Although he was exhausted every day and had to endure Qi Ye's stern face, he suddenly enjoyed this kind of life and felt much more refreshed than when he was in a daze before.
His father and mother praised him, which made him even more enthusiastic.
“What use is brute force if you don’t have a brain? True skill lies in both literary and martial arts. I saw that your calligraphy was quite good, which at least shows that you have talent in literature. As I told you before, you also need to learn martial virtue.”
When Wei Xu heard Mu Chenshuang praise his talent, his vanity was satisfied.
"Since Master says so, I might as well practice."
"If that's the case, then you'll memorize the entire book today."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she tossed a book in her hand to Wei Xu. Wei Xu hurriedly caught it, flipped through it, and looked at it with astonishment, "Memorize the whole thing in one day?"
Mu Chenshuang did not answer Wei Xu's question, but looked at Cheng Li and said, "Cheng Li, you go with him."
Chengli nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay, Sister Shuang."
Instantly.
Wei Xu had nothing to say.
At this moment.
Honghua hurried over and reported, "Princess, General Shen has arrived."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang was shocked, her face darkening. What was he doing here at this time? He should be injured and unable to leave the manor. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?
Suddenly, she had an inexplicable and extremely bad premonition.
"Wei Xu, you can go down first."
Wei Xu and Cheng Li then left.
"Honghua, bring him here."
"yes."
soon.
Honghua led Shen Nanzhi into the pavilion.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at the man who appeared. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, with a tall and straight figure. His jet-black hair was tied up high, and he had a dashing and debonair appearance. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his handsome face showed some signs of fatigue. However, his pair of dark eyes were calm and deep, so deep that no emotion could be seen.
Shen Nanzhi walked up to Mu Chenshuang and called out in an unchanging tone, "Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang blinked, subtly concealing the emotions in her eyes, and looked up at him. Her unusually calm face made her completely unable to see through him.
Why are you here at this hour?
Shen Nanzhi sat down opposite her and said directly, "Before the morning court session this morning, I went to the palace to meet His Majesty."
Mu Chenshuang was startled, and her hands, which were resting on her lap, tightened slightly as she asked, "What happened?"
Shen Nanzhi slowly explained in a deep voice: "His Majesty has become suspicious of the Crown Prince, and the Chengtian Observatory has secretly begun to investigate the Crown Prince. This matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. I do not want to involve innocent people. If I do not come forward to admit it, the crime of assassinating me will probably fall on the Crown Prince, and he will also be accused of being involved with the Dark Night Assassins. This is a major taboo for His Majesty."
Hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and her expression became serious.
As expected, the other party turned their attention to Feng Xilan.
This time she miscalculated. The speed of the other party's actions had exceeded her expectations. Such strong and rapid action was enough to show that they had people inside and outside the palace in the imperial city. It would not be easy to find them.
"So the people behind Feng Hao must be incredibly powerful. It seems they've already gotten involved and want to disrupt the court and replace the crown prince. If this happens once, there will definitely be another time."
If they want to support Feng Hao, then the Crown Prince is the biggest obstacle.
"indeed."
"Then His Majesty..." Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but worry.
Shen Nanzhi replied calmly, "His Majesty only gave me a few words of reprimand; he did not punish me."
indeed.
Feng Guche would naturally not punish Shen Nanzhi. If the City King had not been in trouble, he could have used this as an excuse to hand over military power to the City King. This was something that the two of them understood without saying a word.
But things didn't go as planned, and it now seems highly likely that military power will still fall into Shen Nanzhi's hands.
"It seems that the person hiding in the shadows is determined to put you in power."
In the end, it was all in vain.
Shen Nanzhi showed no sign of worry, but a hint of ferocity lurked in his dark eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I'll grant their wish."
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and could clearly feel the change in his aura, which had become increasingly profound.
