Inside the Jingbian Marquis's residence.
Today, Lord Mu also took a rare day off at his residence and did not go to the military camp.
Early in the morning, Mu Chunxi ordered her maid to keep a close eye on the movements in Mu Chenshuang's courtyard. When she heard that Lord Mu had gone to Mu Chenshuang's courtyard, her expression immediately became serious.
"I understand, you can go now." Mu Chunxi waved her hand impatiently, and fell into deep thought after the maid left.
Feng Mo Ran told her to keep an eye on Mu Chen Shuang. Could it be that Mu Chen Shuang might be up to something in secret at this time, or have a backup plan?
Therefore, it seems that the fact that Prime Minister Shen and Marquis Mu would collectively request an imperial decree from Feng Guche at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet must also be related to Mu Chenshuang.
Why does Mu Chenshuang insist on getting involved in the story of the Libei King's family being unjustly executed back then?
Mu Chunxi's eyes darkened as she thought of the secret letters the Empress Dowager had received.
Regardless of whether the secret letter was delivered to the Empress Dowager by Feng Ji or Mu Chenshuang, she thought that the source of these secret letters must be related to Fu Junheng.
The thought that Fu Junheng had actually gone so far as to find such an old secret letter for Mu Chenshuang made Mu Chunxi's eyes flash with jealousy, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
She wanted to see what secrets Mu Chenshuang was hiding in her courtyard. If she could find one or two mistakes and fatal weaknesses in her, Mu Chenshuang's life would be hers.
In Mu Chenshuang's courtyard, Chengli, who had always dressed as a servant and had been simply disguised, was now dressed in a clean, moon-white robe with a jade belt around his waist, exuding a heroic air.
Chengli sheathed his sword and walked towards Lord Mu and Mu Chenshuang.
Looking at the only heir left by the King of Libei, Lord Mu was filled with complex emotions, his face showing sorrow and heartache.
“Good child, once your father, the Prince of Libei, is exonerated, you will be able to appear before the world in a bright and open manner. We are all happy for you. I believe that you will be able to inherit your father’s legacy and become a great general who stands tall and upright.”
Lord Mu spoke with emotion, his eyes reddening and tears falling.
Mu Chenshuang looked at this scene and hesitated to speak. In fact, the main reason for the death of the Prince of Libei was Feng Guche's fear and apprehension. If the person in power is still so stubborn, cold-blooded and ruthless, then it would be better for him not to be a general.
Thinking this, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but look at Chengli, who was only a teenager but had the maturity and composure of an adult, and felt a pang of heartache.
Lord Mu's words just now really touched Chengli. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
When the Libei King's family was killed, Chengli was still young and his memory was vague. Although he can occasionally recall some fragments now, they are almost like nightmares.
Later, he grew up by Qi Ye's side and became accustomed to life and death, so his temperament was more calm and composed than that of other children his age.
As he grew up, he heard about the tragedy of the Libei King's family, but he didn't know his true identity. He just subconsciously believed that a hero as upright as the Libei King would not do something like colluding with the enemy and betraying his country.
Later, he found the Jingbian Marquis's residence through Qiye and settled down by Mu Chenshuang's side.
Some time ago, after seeing the expressions and conversations between Mu Chengshuang and Lord Mu, as well as the jade pendant that Shen Nanzhi gave to Mu Chengshuang and the words he spoke, he already had a premonition in his heart.
