Mu Chenshuang replied, "There is a very suitable candidate, the Sixth Prince, Feng Hao."
The words were spoken.
Shen Nanzhi looked at Mu Chenshuang in surprise, "The Sixth Prince is just one of His Majesty's many princes, why does Shuang'er think he is so special?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? For many years, Consort Ling has always been a woman who doesn't fight or compete, and has a quiet and elegant demeanor. But Consort Rong's matter is enough to show that she has already participated in the vortex of military power struggle. Since she has taken the initiative to participate, is the gentle and refined, shallow-minded Sixth Prince that outsiders see really like that?"
Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes and said, "Indeed, but if it's the Sixth Prince, what ability does he have to assassinate someone?"
"Do you remember the person who assassinated Wei Xu before? He had a palm print on his body that looked like the Falling Blossom Palm?"
"Remember."
"She's one of Feng Hao's men. On the first day of the month, when you and I left the palace, a palace maid suddenly bumped into me. It was at that moment that she stole my silk scarf. A skilled woman from the martial arts world is willing to serve a powerless sixth prince. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"
"Shuang'er, do you mean someone instructed her to follow the Sixth Prince?"
"I do have some doubts."
Although I didn't get the answer she wanted when I pressed her for details that day, it made me realize that there was someone else behind her.
"So the mastermind behind framing you, Shuang'er, was the Sixth Prince? But why did he frame you?"
A sudden unease gripped Shen Nanzhi's heart; the matter involving Shuang'er seemed to be spiraling out of control.
Mu Chenshuang had no intention of hiding it any longer and replied, "I just happened to learn about the Sixth Prince and Consort Ling's secret."
Shen Nanzhi pressed on with concern, "What secret?"
Mu Chenshuang hesitated for a long time before finally telling Shen Nanzhi about Lu Wei's framing of her. "So the Sixth Prince was not born to Consort Ling. Back then, in order to consolidate her position, Consort Ling faked her pregnancy, and Zhang Mama became the best candidate for her to switch the baby. Of course, this was definitely planned in advance."
Shen Nanzhi listened, shocked. He couldn't believe such a thing existed. "Impersonating a royal heir is a serious crime. What ability do Consort Ling and Madam Lu have to deceive everyone and send the Sixth Prince from outside the palace into the palace?"
"Perhaps Zhang Mama was sent to the palace a long time ago, but it would have been impossible without someone protecting her during that process."
Of course she knew who was behind Lu Wei, and switching the imperial heirs would be an incredibly simple matter for them.
Ultimately, Consort Ling is still under the control of others.
Shen Nanzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "So, Shuang'er, you are now a thorn in the side of Consort Ling and the Sixth Prince."
"Indeed, but I would not tell His Majesty the true identity of the Sixth Prince without a reason, as it would not benefit me."
If you're not careful, it's not impossible that you could be bitten back.
"Shuang'er, are you planning to make the Sixth Prince a scapegoat to implicate the person behind him?"
“Since the other party is willing to secretly support Feng Hao, then naturally we will not let him get into trouble. However, I think it is most appropriate for the military power of Libei to fall into the hands of the City King. I think His Majesty will consider the City King more. If you, Ruo Nanzhi, withdraw at this time with a reasonable reason, give the ministers an irrefutable reason, and it will also put His Majesty at ease. It can also be considered as going with the flow.”
If it falls into the hands of the Prince of the City, on the one hand, it can balance the power of the Crown Prince's faction and maintain the balance of the court; on the other hand, the Prince of the City is still a member of the royal family, which is more reassuring than if it falls into the hands of the maternal relatives.
As Shen Nanzhi listened to Mu Chenshuang's words, even though he knew she was no longer the same person she used to be, he was still shocked to hear her say these things.
Although she was not in the court, she was well-versed in its affairs and could understand the emperor's thoughts, but this was a very dangerous thing.
