“Besides Princess Weiyang, the Marquis of Jingbian’s residence, the Shen residence, and those ministers who have close ties with the Crown Prince’s faction, you need to send more people to keep an eye on them.”
"Any movement, no matter how small, must be reported to this prince immediately." As if afraid that Zhu Qin would act for his own selfish desires and ruin his important plans, Feng Mo Ran also specially reminded him, "Without this prince's order, you must not take any action."
Feng Mo Ran spoke her last sentence with unusual sternness.
Zhu Qin had a pretty good idea of what Feng Mo Ran was thinking.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't immediately push the Jingbian Marquis's Mansion into the abyss, it was not unreasonable for him to be patient and wait a little longer, since the Jingbian Marquis's Mansion was not going to escape his grasp anyway.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter will be handled perfectly by me."
Zhu Qin spoke respectfully, while Feng Mo Ran propped his head up without comment. Perhaps feeling that the dark room was a bit oppressive, he got up and left.
The Marquis of Jingbian's Residence.
Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Mu Chenshuang, having seen Feng Ji earlier that day, took out the jade pendant that Fu Junheng had left her before leaving.
Fu Junheng's words that he would come back still echoed clearly in my ears, but I didn't know when that would be.
For some reason, Mu Chenshuang has been feeling uneasy lately. Perhaps it's because the Chengtianjian has made another move, or perhaps she has sensed the calm before the storm.
She secretly hoped that everything would go smoothly from now on, but she was also worried that things would not go well in exonerating the Prince of Libei, and that all of them would be implicated.
As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
That night, Mu Chenshuang was plagued by nightmares.
In her dream, she saw countless faces flash before her eyes, including Qiye's, Chengli's, and her father's.
She even saw Shen Nanzhi lying in a pool of blood, riddled with arrows. She wanted to save him, but she couldn't use her spiritual power or true energy, and the pills had all dissolved in the rain.
Unable to use her medical skills to save people, she cried out in desperation, but the people in front of her turned away from her expressionlessly.
Mu Chenshuang shouted and suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar scene and finally realized that what she had just seen was all fake, that she was dreaming.
Thinking this, Mu Chenshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling tired and sore all over as she got up.
She had just sat up in bed when she saw Linglong bring in a basin of warm water; it was already bright outside.
As soon as Linglong saw that Mu Chenshuang had gotten up, she rushed forward with concern and said with a worried look, "Miss, you're finally awake. You scared me to death just now."
Relieved, Linglong took a deep breath and said to Mu Chenshuang, "I tried to wake you up, Miss, but you wouldn't wake up. You were pale and sweaty, and you seemed to want to say something, but you couldn't make a sound."
"I had no choice but to quickly fetch a basin of warm water and was about to wipe your forehead and call the doctor. Thankfully, you woke up."
As Linglong spoke, she began to wipe the sweat from her face with warm water.
Mu Chenshuang listened to her words without saying anything, but then she was lost in thought and recalled the scene in her dream.
For some reason, she always felt that the touch was very real, as if it would really happen.
Mu Chenshuang had a vague feeling that this might not be a good omen, and she was conflicted for a moment.
