Zhang Tianlin sat down, and Feng Mozhan picked up his wine glass.
"please."
The two drank a glass of wine before Feng Mo Ran finally spoke.
"This matter is very simple. Someone testified that Prime Minister Shen framed the general, which is why the general was accused of personal ruin, death, and treason."
Zhang Tianlin had a question.
"who?"
Feng Mo Ran looked at Zhang Tian Lin with ill intent, then pointed at his head.
"you."
Feng Ranmo's words were very clear, but this simple word plunged Zhang Tianlin into despair.
Zhang Tianlin was completely dumbfounded.
So it turns out... Feng Mo Ran wanted him to frame the Prime Minister.
"This...this! Although I am the steward of the Prime Minister's residence, I have no way of knowing such a confidential matter. I'm afraid that even if I told you, no one would believe me."
Feng Mo Ran burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Hahaha! Don't forget who's investigating this case. It's me, and I believe you! As long as you do as I say, I'll guarantee your family's safety!"
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tianlin's forehead. He couldn't believe that Feng Moran was so despicable and shameless.
However, if he refused, his elderly mother, wife, and children would all die a violent death.
The Prime Minister has shown me great favor; if it weren't for the Prime Minister, I wouldn't be where I am today.
If I agree to Feng Moran's request, I will feel guilty.
Zhang Tianlin was caught in a dilemma.
Feng Moran spoke up from the side.
“Zhang Tianlin, if it weren’t you, someone else would have done this! For the sake of your mother and child, and for your future wealth and status, you should think this through carefully!”
If Zhang Tianlin had a knife right now, he would love to rush up and kill Feng Moran, but he knew he couldn't do that.
In the end, Zhang Tianlin agreed to Feng Moran's request.
"Enough! Enough! Enough! Since Your Highness appreciates me so much, I cannot be ungrateful. I will certainly do as the Second Prince has instructed."
Feng Mo Ran burst into laughter.
"Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. As long as you achieve great things, I will reward you in other ways. Come, let's drink this cup together."
Zhang Tianlin could only drink another glass of wine with Feng Moran.
Feng Mo Ran told Zhang Tian Lin her entire plan.
Zhang Tianlin was terrified. If the frame-up succeeded, it would bring utter disaster to the Shen family.
Zhang Tianlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Your Highness, are you confident that you can bring down the Prime Minister? If not, then my life is over."
Feng Moran spoke with a smile.
"Don't worry! Just do as I say, and I'll keep you safe!"
Feng Mo Ran didn't say the last sentence: If things go well, there will be no more Prime Minister Shen in the world!
...
Prime Minister Shen was filled with anxiety in his residence. Since returning home, he had locked himself in his study.
Several hours have passed by now.
Inside the study, Prime Minister Shen was trying to figure out how to get Crown Prince Feng Xilan out of trouble and how to restore Empress Shen Biyun's reputation.
But he also knew in his heart that the emperor was currently angry, and if he were to take the risk of speaking rashly, it would probably backfire.
Just then, a servant ran in from outside, saying that the Marquis of Jingbian requested an audience.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Shen hurriedly went out to greet them personally. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then went to the living room.
Marquis Mu Quan of Jingbian spoke as soon as he sat down.
"Is it true that Her Majesty the Empress has been imprisoned in the Cold Palace? I just heard about it and rushed over. What exactly happened?"
