Feng Ji replied, "That's natural."
“However, there must be a reason why His Majesty brought the Imperial Noble Consort back to the palace. It’s impossible for him to bring her back suddenly,” Mu Chenshuang said with a puzzled look.
Feng Ji's eyes darkened slightly as he gripped the teacup in his hand. "Indeed, Junheng, what do you think is the real reason His Majesty did this?"
Fu Junheng replied, "It's nothing more than the Imperial Noble Consort being someone from whom there's something to gain."
Mu Chenshuang replied, "But what benefit could the Imperial Noble Consort, who has no power or influence and can bring no benefit to His Majesty, possibly gain? Moreover, the Qi Kingdom probably doesn't care about the Imperial Noble Consort's life or death anymore."
The State of Qi is currently in turmoil. If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine's marriage to the State of Tianzhao, her life in Qi would probably not have been easy. Now that she is in Tianzhao, although she is often accompanied by the Buddha and the lamp, at least she doesn't have to worry so much about her life.
Feng Ji said, "There's no benefit to be gained from the Imperial Noble Consort, but that might not be the case with Feng Mo Ran."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang suddenly remembered something. Could it be that the Imperial Noble Consort's entry into the palace this time was related to him?
"I think this seemingly carefree and charming second prince is not as simple as he seems."
Fu Junheng sipped his tea, his golden eyes darkening, revealing an unreadable emotion that left people wondering what he was thinking.
Feng Ji responded to Mu Chenshuang's words, "Anyway, it won't affect my own interests, so it doesn't matter what Your Majesty does."
Feng Ji was right, but Mu Chenshuang still felt uneasy.
After lunch.
When Mu Chenshuang was about to leave, Fu Junheng did not stop her, but stood outside the door watching the carriage slowly drive away.
Feng Ji gazed into the distance and asked, "Junheng, what do you think is the Emperor's true purpose in bringing the Imperial Noble Consort into the palace?"
Fu Junheng turned and walked towards the gate, asking in return, "Who do you think is most likely to persuade the Emperor to bring the Imperial Noble Consort into the palace?"
If it weren't for someone reminding him, Feng Guche would never have thought that there was another Imperial Noble Consort in Longen Temple. After all, with new concubines constantly emerging in the harem, who would care about an old, faded Imperial Noble Consort with no background or power?
Feng Ji guessed, "The only ones who could persuade the emperor are probably the Empress Dowager and the Empress. The Empress was partly responsible for the Imperial Noble Consort's affair back then, so she naturally wouldn't try to persuade the emperor. Therefore, the most likely candidate is the Empress Dowager."
"However, the Empress Dowager must have had her reasons for persuading the Emperor. She couldn't have spoken up for the Imperial Noble Consort in the Emperor's ear for no reason. The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager's words could attract His Majesty's attention, which means that His Majesty values what the Empress Dowager said."
Feng Ji frowned slightly as he pondered this matter. What benefits could the Imperial Noble Consort and Feng Mo Ran possibly offer that made His Majesty agree with the Empress Dowager's words?
“There will always be clues. Have someone keep an eye on things, especially Feng Moran,” Fu Junheng said, his eyes instantly turning cold.
“I know, I’ve already made arrangements, and we’ll have news soon,” Feng Ji replied. “However, half a month has passed, and His Majesty has not given you any reply, nor has he stopped Princess Weiyang from associating with you. It seems that what you predicted, Junheng, is indeed true.”
The emperor was unwilling to let Mu Chenshuang really leave with Fu Junheng, but he was also reluctant to give up the mines in Xiling, so they must still be thinking of a foolproof plan.
At this moment.
A guard came to report, "Your Highness, Prince Xiaoyao, news has come from the palace that the Emperor has appointed the Second Prince as Imperial Censors to follow Prime Minister Shen."
Feng Ji's expression changed slightly as he listened to the report from the secret guards.
