Seeing that Shen Nanzhi agreed with what she said, Mu Chenshuang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and then the carriage headed south.
Two days later, Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi led 100,000 elite troops to the capital.
Upon learning that Shen Nanzhi had led troops to besiege the capital, Feng Mozhan sneered.
Shen Nanzhi, do you think you can rival me just because you hold the military tally? What a joke!
Looking around, Feng Mo Ran turned to the civil and military officials in front of her.
Many officials looked apprehensive, while some furrowed their brows in deep frown.
Shen Nanzhi is a great general with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. He is decisive in killing and ruthless, and his military skills are superb. He has achieved countless merits at a young age, and he is no less than the former King of Libei.
Now that Shen Nanzhi has led his troops to surround the capital, no one can predict what will happen next.
Although Shen Nanzhi's failure to return to the capital as summoned by the emperor constitutes disobedience, the emperor has now passed away, and the second prince, Feng Mozhan, is now in charge of the court, which is not legitimate.
Because Feng Guche did not leave a will stating that he would pass the throne to the second prince, Feng Moran, this was the root cause of the wavering hearts of many officials.
"You don't need to panic. The imperial court has the Imperial Guards, which will surely protect your safety. However, you should not go back until the entire capital is stable."
After finishing speaking, Feng Mo Ran added another sentence.
"I am doing this for your safety. Your lodgings have been arranged, and someone will take you to your resting place!"
After saying these words, Feng Mo Ran hurriedly left.
Chaos erupted in the imperial court, and everyone became tense.
Feng Mo Ran is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In the current chaotic situation, he has detained all the civil and military officials. His purpose in doing so is obvious.
"What should we do? Are we really going to stay in this palace? Wouldn't that be just like what happened to the Prime Minister back then?"
"What else can we do? The entire Hou family is now being held in jail, and even the former Princess Weiyang, Mu Chenshuang, is now a wanted person. The situation has really changed drastically."
"The Marquis of Jingbian was arrested for disobeying the imperial edict. Who told him to take in the son of the Prince of Libei? But then again, it is also thanks to the Marquis of Jingbian that the Prince of Libei has this bloodline to continue."
"Don't say anything now. It's already a blessing that you can help me save my life. The world has really changed a lot."
"I heard that Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi are together, and even the Western Moon Kingdom has started to support them. The world might really be in chaos..."
The last person stopped speaking halfway through, but everyone already understood what that meant.
As everyone was filled with apprehension, a young eunuch rushed over, claiming that the army led by Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang had broken through the city gates.
Everyone was in a panic, and the entire palace was in complete disarray.
With Feng Ji and Shen Nan working together from the inside and outside, they captured the capital in less than an hour. Before everyone could recover, Feng Mo Ran had already fled back to Qi Kingdom with Cang Xi Xue in a panic.
From the moment of the attack, Mu Chenshuang was thinking about rescuing the people of the Marquis's mansion, so she was the first to rush to the prison.
However, what Mu Chenshuang saw was the corpse of Marquis Jingbian, Mu Quan.
Several men who looked like soldiers were carrying a stretcher and walking towards Mu Chenshuang.
"Stop! What's going on?"
