Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, her eyes filled with helplessness. "Even if I saw it, what could I change?"
To give the emperor a moment to regain his senses?
But this is not enough to change the situation. Feng Mo Ran has come this far entirely by following the emperor's wishes.
Fu Junheng didn't say anything more. "Let's go!"
However, Mu Chenshuang still went to the East Palace. Fu Junheng did not stop her, but waited for her outside the East Palace.
Feng Xilan was quite surprised to see her.
Mu Chenshuang spoke to him briefly. Feng Xilan was well aware of the current situation, and the Shen family dared not make any rash moves at this time.
He was never the crown prince in the emperor's heart. It wasn't because he lacked ability or had any ulterior motives, but because of the power of the Shen family behind him: an empress, a prime minister who controlled the court, and a brave and skilled general.
Therefore, the emperor was always wary of the empress, favoring other concubines and supporting the princes and the crown prince to maintain a balance of power.
Since the emperor dared not directly reduce the power of the Shen family, and the Marquis's Mansion had a close relationship with the Shen family, he decided to start by targeting the Marquis's Mansion.
Feng Mo Ran's actions at this time aligned with the emperor's thoughts, giving him the opportunity to return to politics.
"Feng Mo Ran, you should be more careful. Always prioritize your own interests. Filial piety is no longer applicable in the current situation."
It was a reminder to him not to place his hopes on the emperor, who was now on Feng Mo Ran's side, and to prepare for the worst.
The fate of the losers in political struggles is predictable, so we must start now by any means necessary.
Feng Xilan looked at Mu Chenshuang.
"I know that the situation in the Marquis's mansion is not very optimistic right now, so you should be careful."
Mu Chenshuang nodded.
Feng Xilan didn't say anything more to Mu Chenshuang, saying, "You'd better leave quickly, or it might be bad if someone sees you."
Mu Chenshuang nodded. "Take care, Your Highness."
With that, she curtsied and turned to leave.
As Feng Xilan watched Mu Chenshuang's departing figure, a thousand emotions welled up in his eyes. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes briefly, and quickly concealed the emotions in his eyes.
Now, romantic love is a burden to him; he can't think about her anymore.
Mu Chenshuang left the East Palace.
He left the palace with Fu Junheng.
We arrived at the palace gate.
A eunuch rushed in to report that the emperor had summoned Fu Junheng for an audience.
The emperor found out so quickly that Fu Junheng was in the palace.
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and said, "Then you should go quickly. The emperor must have something important to tell you. I'll be waiting for you at Qianjiang Inn."
Fu Junheng reached out and stroked Mu Chenshuang's hair.
"I'll be right back."
Mu Chenshuang nodded.
Fu Junheng then followed the eunuch to meet the emperor.
Mu Chenshuang left the palace and went to an inn.
Second floor.
Across the river lies Wanyue Lake, the very place where Feng Mo Ran once indulged in his romantic escapades.
Such brothels are actually easy places to gather dirt on officials, and what man doesn't like such a place full of springtime pleasures?
Mu Chenshuang sat on the balcony, looking across the street.
At this moment.
The waiter came over and said, "Miss, a young gentleman would like to come into your room and have a chat with you."
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Er. She subconsciously looked towards the doorway, where she could vaguely see a long green brocade.
"Let him in!"
"good."
The waiter turned and left.
Then the figure outside the door walked in.
Looking at the man who appeared before her, Mu Chenshuang was not surprised at all.
