"Feng Mozhan has been praised by the emperor many times. His recognition has even surpassed that of the Prince of Cheng. The Prince of Cheng is jealous of Feng Mozhan. I think the Prince of Cheng is no match for Feng Mozhan's schemes. I guess the next one to suffer will not be Lord Mu, but the Prince of Cheng."
Feng Ji sipped his tea and analyzed the situation.
Looking at the current political situation from a broader perspective, it's about eliminating unnecessary pieces. But how can a piece on the chessboard understand that it's just a piece?
"Feng Mozhan probably has more informants in the capital than we do. The Dark Night Assassins in the capital are likely to be involved with him. Even Feng Xilan is probably no match for Feng Mozhan now."
Fu Junheng listened to Feng Mozhan's words in silence.
A brief silence.
After a while.
Fu Junheng said, "Find a way to get Marquis Mu demoted to Nanzhou City."
Feng Ji frowned slightly. In the current situation of the court, if one chooses the wrong side or says the wrong thing, it will be a dead end. If Feng Gu Che could understand this, then no one could touch Lord Mu. But from the example of the Prince of Libei, it can be seen that Feng Gu Che is not a true wise ruler at all.
Feng Ji could easily understand what Fu Junheng meant by those words. From the moment he developed feelings for Mu Chenshuang, the fate of the Mu family had already changed.
Being demoted to Nanzhou City is the best way to protect the Marquis's mansion.
"But judging from your expression, it's probably not just because of this. What happened between you and Princess Weiyang?" Feng Ji asked, noticing that he didn't seem inclined to answer.
“Now Princess Weiyang must be suspicious of you, and given Lord Mu’s current situation, she will definitely suspect you,” Feng Ji said with certainty.
After all, military commanders are the first to bear the brunt of any attempt to sow discord between two countries.
This was originally part of Fu Junheng's plan.
Fu Junheng's deep gaze and lack of response can be considered an admission.
Feng Ji sighed helplessly. If Jun Heng was just playing around with Princess Weiyang, that would be fine, but it seems he has fallen in love with her now.
“If you can’t be honest with her, then your relationship will break down sooner or later.” Feng Ji said very seriously. Mu Chen Shuang is no longer the kind of person who would do anything for love. He even thinks that in her relationship with Jun Heng, she is the most rational one.
"I heard that the Empress and the Prime Minister's wife selected many daughters of prominent families for Shen Nanzhi, but he rejected them all."
Feng Guche still trusts Shen Nanzhi, so even if Lord Mu falls, there is still Shen Nanzhi. Moreover, it can be seen that Shen Nanzhi has not let go of Mu Chenshuang. Perhaps he knows in his heart that the possibility of Mu Chenshuang and Jun Heng ending up together is very small.
Upon hearing this, Fu Junheng's eyes turned cold.
"It seems he's still waiting," Feng Ji said, carefully observing Fu Junheng's emotional changes.
Fu Junheng's face was never in a good mood from beginning to end, and his emotions were unusually low.
“There will always be a solution. It’s really not like you, Junheng, to be worrying here. If you’re afraid that Mu Chenshuang will follow Shen Nanzhi, then keep a close eye on her. If you’re afraid of losing her, then forcibly taking her is not an option. It’s better than losing her.”
Fu Junheng stared intently at Feng Ji, but he did not refute Feng Ji's words.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I just received news that Feng Xilan is interrogating Xiao Qingyu."
Fu Junheng's face darkened as he recalled something Mu Chenshuang had told him before: if he were to let go, many people would be vying for her. How could he allow such a thing to happen? Feng Ji was right; even if it meant forcibly taking her, he would never give her to anyone.
