Mu Chenshuang remained calm, picked up a glass of warm water, took a small sip, then put down the glass and asked, "So, what are the conditions the Second Prince offered?"
Feng Mo Ran countered, "It depends on what Princess Weiyang desires most, and what you most wish to change?"
Mu Chenshuang: "What I want, the Second Prince probably can't give me."
Feng Mo Ran's lips curved into a deep, dark smile, his phoenix eyes concealing a dark, unfathomable light.
"People work together to achieve success. Princess Weiyang can speak frankly about this."
"Some things are better left unsaid. Why not just say them? The Second Prince is so intelligent, why not just guess in your heart?"
Feng Mo Ran sighed, "Actually, I quite admire a woman like you, Princess Wei Yang. Of course, Princess Wei Yang, you don't need to rush to answer my question just now. Let's give each other some time."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him with deep eyes.
Feng Mo Ran smiled and didn't say anything more. At this time, the waiters started serving the dishes one after another.
"Consider today's delicacies a simple meal for Princess Weiyang." With that, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it in front of Mu Chenshuang. The moment Mu Chenshuang saw the jade pendant, her face darkened instantly.
"If Princess Weiyang wishes to see me, she can remain here."
After saying this, Feng Mo Ran turned and left.
Mu Chenshuang frowned as she looked at the jade pendant in front of her. She slowly picked it up. There was a Qing character on the back of the pendant. According to her memories, this jade pendant belonged to the original owner's mother, Xie Changqing. But why was it in Feng Mozhan's hands?
In other words, he was very clear about Xie Changqing's affairs.
The words he spoke to her today were nothing more than an attempt to recruit her into his camp so that he could ensure the safety of the Marquis's mansion.
Feng Mo Ran truly harbors wolfish ambitions.
What he wants is not the position of Crown Prince, but the throne of Feng Guche. Now that Feng Guche is so infatuated with the Imperial Concubine that he is probably not thinking clearly about right and wrong.
So there must be some secret behind Xie Changqing's matter. What could it be?
Mu Chenshuang got up and went downstairs, but when she got downstairs, she didn't see Feng Moran. It seemed that he didn't intend to talk things out with her today.
After leaving her information at the inn, she went to the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.
But Feng Ji was not at the mansion at this time, so Mu Chenshuang waited inside.
Until the sun sets in the west.
Feng Ji had just returned to the manor, and there was still no news from Fu Junheng. If he had received a message from the inn, he would have come to the manor, which could only mean that he was probably still in the palace at this time.
Upon seeing Mu Chenshuang, Feng Ji said apologetically, "Princess Weiyang, you've kept me waiting."
"It's alright, but are you very busy, Prince Xiaoyao?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Feng Ji chuckled, "I wasn't busy, I just went for a trip outside the city and only just got back."
"Is that so!"
Mu Chenshuang was skeptical of his claims about traveling.
Feng Ji didn't offer any further explanation.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion prepared dinner, and Feng Ji invited Mu Chenshuang to eat with him, which Mu Chenshuang accepted.
"I wonder what brings Princess Weiyang to see me all of a sudden?"
Mu Chenshuang asked directly, "How much does the Prince of Xiaoyao know about my mother's affairs?"
Feng Ji was surprised that Mu Chenshuang would ask this question, and explained, "I was not in the capital when Madam Mu was murdered, but I did learn some news about Madam Mu's death later."
Mu Chenshuang pressed, "What news?"
"I heard that Madam Mu met someone the day before she died. Rumor has it that he was someone from the palace. However, I don't know who he is, but I can guess that the person involved in your mother's death must be someone of great importance."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened. So, Feng Mozhan knew who that person was, and he must be closely related to Xie Changqing's death.
"Why did Princess Weiyang suddenly come to ask about this matter?"
Mu Chenshuang replied, "I returned from the palace today and encountered the Second Prince at the inn. Currently, the Second Prince is studying in the military camp with my father, which is indeed very worrying."
Although Feng Ji no longer participates in court affairs and has long since stopped attending court, he is still very clear about what is happening in the palace.
"So what does the Second Prince want with you? Is it related to your mother?"
"He probably knew the real reason for my mother's death."
"If Feng Mo Ran knows, it's enough to show that his power within the palace has penetrated quite deeply. Why doesn't Princess Wei Yang ask Lord Mu?"
"My father is unwilling to talk about it, but the inside story is probably very complicated."
"So Princess Weiyang intends to go and find out?"
