If things really develop as the Second Prince predicted, wouldn't I become the target of everyone's criticism?
He didn't understand why the Second Prince would put this letter in front of him.
Even as the filming drew to a close, Zhuge Yi still felt uneasy and sat down again.
Feng Mo Ran then slowly spoke.
"Zhuge Yi, it was your concubine who reported Prime Minister Shen. Even Chen Tianlin, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's residence, testified against Prime Minister Shen. Moreover, the Emperor already knows about it and specifically ordered me to investigate secretly."
Zhuge Yi was terrified. He unconsciously swallowed and stood there dumbfounded...
"But... I really didn't do those things, Your Highness, this..."
Feng Mo Ran reached out and patted Zhuge Yi on the shoulder, a meaningful smile on his face.
“I believe you on this point, but after all, it was your family who testified. I would like to give you a break, but the Emperor has given an order, and I cannot commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor.”
Zhuge Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Feng Mo Ran for help in a panic.
"Your Highness must have a way to save me. I beg Your Highness to show me a way out."
Seeing this scene, Feng Mo Ran slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
Zhuge Yi was increasingly flustered, and he needed to devise a plan to ensure the smooth progress of his work.
Seeing that Zhuge Yi's forehead was covered in sweat, Feng Mo Ran nodded in satisfaction.
"There is a way, but I don't know if you're willing to go?"
Zhuge Yi was already in a state of confusion. Upon hearing Feng Mo Ran's words, he immediately knelt down in front of him again.
"Your Highness, as long as you are willing to lend a hand, I will follow your lead from now on!"
Feng Mo Ran helped Zhuge Yi up again.
"Let's talk this out. Why are you kneeling down again? We are both officials in the same court and subjects of the emperor. This makes us seem distant."
Zhuge Yi had never seen Feng Mo Ran be so friendly before.
At this moment, Feng Mo Ran's smile was like the Black and White Impermanence in the underworld, making people tremble with fear.
However, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Zhuge Yi had no choice but to sit down, even though he felt awkward.
Feng Mo Ran then spoke frankly.
"To tell you the truth, Prime Minister Shen is doomed. I now have a lot of evidence to prove that Prime Minister Shen harmed the Prince of Libei."
"As long as you are willing to go along with the flow and admit that you were coerced by Prime Minister Shen, I guarantee you will be safe and sound."
"Lord Zhuge, a person can't live their whole life thinking only of themselves, don't you think? As a husband and son, one must always fulfill certain obligations."
Feng Mo Ran's words had a hidden meaning, and only then did Zhuge Yi understand why he had asked him to come to his residence.
So this was his ultimate goal: he wanted to use himself to suppress Prime Minister Shen.
Zhuge Yi was caught in a dilemma.
If we overthrow Prime Minister Shen, that's fine. But if we fail to bring him down, he will definitely turn on us when he turns against us.
When that time comes, even the Second Prince Feng Ranmo will probably have to avoid suspicion.
"this……"
For a long time, Zhuge Yi did not reply.
Feng Mo Ran looked at his dilemma and sneered inwardly.
I can't stand indecisive people like this.
The pros and cons of the matter have been explained very clearly, but why is Zhuge Yi so oblivious?
A hint of displeasure flashed in Feng Mo Ran's eyes, and she was extremely impatient, but she still patiently continued to persuade him.
