Linglong asked in surprise, "Miss, you have no grudge against that Sect Leader Qi, so why would he frame you? And I noticed that Her Highness the Princess was also targeting you today. Could there be some connection between the two of you?"
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "That is indeed a possibility. In the current situation, we can only take it one step at a time."
Having said that, he got up and walked toward the bed.
Linglong put down the wooden comb in her hand, her face showing worry. Suddenly, she remembered something and her expression softened. "But with Crown Prince Junheng here, Miss, you will definitely be alright."
After thinking about it this way, Linglong suddenly understood that there was nothing to worry about.
Mu Chenshuang sat on the bed, raised her eyes and stared at Linglong, "This is the capital, not Xiyue Kingdom. If the evidence is really conclusive, how do you think he can guarantee my safety?"
Linglong smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, I think Crown Prince Junheng has the ability. Besides, judging from your nonchalant attitude, Miss, you must be fine."
As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "However, there's one thing I'm puzzled about."
Mu Chenshuang just watched her quietly and listened to what she had to say.
"I was just taken away by the men in black when Crown Prince Junheng's men came to rescue me. Didn't we not host a banquet for Crown Prince Junheng today? How come his men just happened to be with you, Miss?"
Of course, Linglong didn't think about it in depth; she was just puzzled.
Mu Chenshuang didn't explain further, only saying, "Anyway, as long as everyone's alright, that's good. It's getting late, and you've been frightened today, so get some rest!"
Linglong didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, then Miss, you should rest too."
After saying that, he turned around, lowered the bed curtains, blew out the candles, and left the room with the basin of water.
Mu Chenshuang lay on the bed, but she was wide awake, carefully thinking about what had happened that day. What worried her most now was not Feng Anxue's framing of her.
It was Feng Mozhan.
What Feng Anxue said today, that the Empress Dowager intended to marry her off to Feng Moran, is about 70% true.
The only person who could persuade Feng Guche to welcome Cang Xixue back to the palace was probably the Empress Dowager. Not only that, but she also bestowed a title upon Feng Moran and arranged for him to participate in political affairs next to the Prime Minister, thus elevating Feng Moran's status.
The Empress Dowager was already displeased with her affair with Fu Junheng, and now she probably wants to find a suitable candidate to marry her off to.
Thinking back to when I saw Feng Mo Ran at Cining Palace, this was probably premeditated.
However, she still doesn't know what Feng Moran wants to do. He definitely didn't just take her away today. What is his purpose?
Thinking of this, Mu Chenshuang turned over and took a deep breath.
Inside the Phoenix Palace.
While Furong was helping the Empress change her clothes, she suddenly mentioned seeing Mu Chenshuang and Feng Mozhan that day.
The Empress paused, then abruptly turned to look at Furong. "What did you say?"
Furong was startled and repeated her explanation: "Today, when I went to get medicine for Her Majesty the Empress, I saw Princess Weiyang and the Second Prince coming out of Bixi Palace one after the other. I don't know if the two of them were alone together just now."
The Empress frowned and her face darkened. According to the time Furong mentioned, it was around the time Mu Chenshuang was assassinated. How could she be with Feng Moran at this time? Didn't she come with Fu Junheng? Or did she meet Fu Junheng after seeing Feng Moran?
Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
Furong replied with certainty, "This servant is absolutely certain that I did not see wrong."
"Then do you see anything unusual about the two of them coming out?"
