"Although Her Majesty the Empress is still under house arrest, since the Emperor has not imposed any further punishment, he must still be thinking of our past relationship," Mu Chenshuang comforted Feng Xilan.
Having already given this matter considerable thought, Mu Chenshuang said, "The Crown Prince must still follow the Emperor's wishes and must not disobey. However, you are, after all, the Empress's biological son. You can ask the Emperor to let you see the Empress and show your filial piety."
"When you see the Empress, Crown Prince, you must not add fuel to the fire. You should try to persuade her. In the current situation, it is no longer possible for the Empress to advise the Emperor or simply to stop him."
In Mu Chenshuang's view, the Empress's position is now precarious. What the Empress should do is not to continue to confront things head-on, but to first extricate herself from these matters and preserve her position as Empress, which would be to secure a way out for Feng Xilan.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Feng Xilan with a meaningful expression and said, "Once the Empress understands this, she should just sit firmly in her position as Empress. You, the Crown Prince, can then mediate and reconcile the situation."
"Let's not talk about politics or anything else, just talk about feelings. When the time comes, the Emperor will remember our past relationship and will naturally release the Empress."
Mu Chenshuang's voice was soft and gentle, but her words carried weight, were clear and logical, and hit the nail on the head.
Feng Xilan, who was listening from the side, was somewhat stunned as she listened to her calm and wise words.
Mu Chenshuang is so good: calm, intelligent, magnanimous, capable, and possessing the demeanor of an empress. Her stunning beauty becomes the least important thing in the face of these absolute virtues.
Thinking of this, Feng Xilan felt another wave of unbearable pain and sorrow in his heart. He had been so foolish to lose the woman who had once loved him so much. Now that he had finally realized it, he could never find her again.
Somewhat moved, Feng Xilan subconsciously and gently called out Mu Chenshuang's name, then walked towards her in a daze.
"Shuang'er..."
"Your Highness." After Mu Chenshuang finished speaking her thoughts, she noticed that Feng Xilan's gaze seemed somewhat infatuated, unlike his previous clear one. Realizing this, she frowned, took a step back, and lowered her voice to remind him.
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's resistant expression and voice, Feng Xilan suddenly became alert and stopped in his tracks, somewhat embarrassed.
As if afraid that Mu Chenshuang would despise him, Feng Xilan quickly put on an expression that seemed to have been relieved. He smiled apologetically and said, "Don't be nervous. I was just pleased to hear you speak so clearly and logically, and I was enlightened by you."
"Don't worry, I understood everything you just said." Feng Xilan chuckled twice as if to ease the awkwardness, and then said, "I'll escort you out of the palace."
Although these words sounded harmless, Mu Chenshuang still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She quickly lowered her eyes slightly and bowed, declining Feng Xilan's offer, "No need, I can leave the palace by myself."
Feng Xilan seemed to have something stuck in his throat, but after hearing what Mu Chenshuang had said, he couldn't say anything and could only watch Mu Chenshuang turn and leave.
After leaving the palace, Mu Chenshuang encountered Prince Feng Ji at the palace gate.
Upon seeing Feng Ji, Mu Chenshuang's expression immediately relaxed, and she greeted him with a smile.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect Your Highness to have time to visit the palace today?" Mu Chenshuang casually chatted with Feng Ji.
