“The Crown Prince has visited him a few times before.” Feng Guche recalled how Feng Xilan had pleaded with him before, and spoke thoughtfully.
Cang Xixue's face darkened upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, she said, "I heard from the palace maids that Princess Weiyang has been visiting the Empress Dowager frequently lately. Is Your Majesty aware of this?"
Mentioning Mu Chenshuang, Feng Guche's face darkened, and there seemed to be some displeasure and dissatisfaction between his brows.
"I know, after all, she has my imperial gold token, and even the palace guards cannot stop her. Besides, she entered the palace under the pretext of accompanying the Empress Dowager and treating her illness. Even if she came to my side, I could not stop her."
Feng Guche seemed to have a hint of regret on his face, "Back then, I saw that she had military merits and was going to marry the Crown Prince, so I rewarded her with this gold medal, but I never let her take it out to use it. She was very low-key and cautious..."
"But unexpectedly, since her divorce from the Crown Prince, she has become so eccentric and audacious, completely disregarding the consequences of her actions, even..."
The thought of Fu Junheng repeatedly defending Mu Chenshuang in front of him, even offering to exchange a mine for her in order to marry her, immediately put him on high alert.
That's why he had long harbored the idea of weakening Lord Mu's military power, but he had been struggling to find a suitable excuse. Unexpectedly, Feng Mo Ran's sudden emergence in the court solved this problem for him.
Cang Xixue could see through Feng Guche's calculations, but she did not expose them at this moment. Instead, she returned to the original topic.
“It seems Princess Weiyang is truly thoughtful.” Cang Xixue’s words brought Feng Guche back from his reverie.
Before Feng Guche could fully comprehend what was happening, Cang Xixue said slyly, "Since Princess Weiyang is known as a divine physician, the Empress Dowager's improvement must be due to Princess Weiyang's efforts."
"Moreover, not a single word about the princess treating the Empress Dowager was leaked out of Cining Palace. It seems that the princess is indeed meticulous and thoughtful in her actions. It is truly rare that the princess did not intend to use this to gain credit."
After speaking, Cang Xixue did not rush to continue, but gave Feng Guche ample time to think and understand the implied meaning of her words.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw the suspicious Feng Guche's expression change.
Feng Guche's thick eyebrows furrowed, his eyes filled with barely concealed anger and suspicion. He couldn't help but ponder what Mu Chenshuang's intentions were in doing this.
Seeing Feng Guche's reaction, Cang Xixue was very satisfied. Yes, she was hinting at him.
Therefore, if anything happens at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in the future, Feng Guche will definitely think of Mu Chenshuang first, and will feel that she is the one who sabotaged it and harbored evil intentions.
However, that wasn't enough. Cang Xixue, seemingly unintentionally, added, "It's truly regrettable how tumultuous the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Princess has been."
"It is said that the two of them met with the Empress Dowager recently, and the Crown Prince has never asked for credit for the Princess in front of you. It seems that he also knows the Princess's feelings and is intentionally protecting her."
Upon hearing this, Feng Guche's face darkened even more. Considering the power of the Shen family and the fact that Marquis Mu held military power, if the Crown Prince and Mu Chenshuang secretly joined forces, it would be the greatest threat to his throne.
Thinking of this, Feng Guche was instantly enraged. He stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out of the hall. In an angry voice, he ordered the eunuch beside him, "Summon the Crown Prince to the Hall of Diligent Governance to see me."
