"Reporting to Miss, there has been no news yet."
Upon hearing that there was no news, Mu Chenshuang slowly closed her eyes.
Some things can't be rushed; you just have to wait and see.
...
That morning, Feng Mo Ran summoned the eunuch who served the emperor.
The young eunuch Chen Quan bowed respectfully upon seeing Feng Mo Ran.
"This servant greets the Second Prince!"
Feng Mo Ran glanced sideways at the little eunuch in front of her, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Chen Quan was a veteran in the palace, and Feng Mo Ran had met him frequently, so he wasn't unfamiliar with his face.
"I've seen you serving the Emperor a lot lately, you must be very tired."
After hearing this, Chen Quan looked flustered, and his tone became hesitant and stammering.
"This servant... knows that the Second Prince is considerate of this servant, but this servant dares not overstep his bounds in any way, and this servant always abides by the palace rules."
Feng Mo Ran glanced at the attendant beside her, who understood and immediately brought over a stool.
"Get up, sit down and talk."
Chen Quan was flattered and almost fell when he stood up.
If Chen Quan hadn't reacted quickly and caught the corner of the stool, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
"Second Prince, you mustn't! I am just a servant, how dare I sit before you?"
Feng Mo Ran frowned, a displeased expression on his face, his expression dark and gloomy.
"What, is Eunuch Chen ignoring what I said?!"
Hearing this, Chen Quan was terrified. He knew that the Second Prince was ruthless and cruel, and if he really turned against him, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
Chen Quan trembled all over and spoke again, his voice trembling.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
Feng Mo Ran's expression softened somewhat. "Since you don't dare, then please take a seat."
The room was very quiet, but Chen Quan felt a chill run down his spine.
There was no way around it; the Second Prince was simply too oppressive.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Quan had no choice but to sit down. However, he knew the proper etiquette and only touched the stool with his bottom, not daring to sit down properly.
Feng Mo Ran only spoke after Chen Quan sat down.
"How is Father's condition now?"
After hearing this, Chen Quan quickly stood up again.
"Your Highness, His Majesty's condition has improved; he is more energetic than he was a few days ago."
Feng Mo Ran waved his hand, gesturing for Chen Quan to sit down.
"We're just having a casual chat, so you don't need to be too nervous or overly formal."
"yes!"
Chen Quan sat down again, feeling helpless.
Next, Feng Mo Ran got straight to the point and got to the main topic.
"I need your help with something, I wonder if you'd be willing?"
Having served in the palace for many years, Chen Quan was well aware of the undercurrents within the inner palace, so he did not immediately express his opinion, but instead asked questions.
"What is it that the Second Prince is referring to?"
Feng Mo Ran seemed a little impatient with Chen Quan's cautiousness, but he nodded approvingly.
This Chen Quan is quick-witted; to be able to serve by the Emperor's side, he is indeed no ordinary person.
If this person readily agrees, I wouldn't dare entrust the matter to him.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Mo Ran spoke.
Before I get to the point, I have prepared two gifts for you.
After saying this, Erfeng Mozhan shouted to her subordinates.
"Someone come here! Bring up the prepared gifts."
At this moment, someone brought out a large box and a tray, both covered with red cloth.
