"Princess, the Empress Dowager's appetite has indeed increased recently, which makes us very happy. However, the Empress Dowager has been speaking much less lately, and she is very depressed because of the Prime Minister's matter."
Mu Chenshuang's heart sank after hearing this.
At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that day, the Empress Dowager personally stated that she would thoroughly reinvestigate the matter of the Prince of Libei in order to clear his name.
But who would have thought that before the investigation was even finished, the Prime Minister would be implicated in it.
It is common knowledge that the Prime Minister had absolutely no reason to do this, yet he was still imprisoned in the palace.
The Empress Dowager was actually quite upset because of this news.
As an old servant of the Empress Dowager, it is only natural that Granny Yun would have such a role.
"What does the old woman want me to do?"
"Your Highness is too kind. This old servant just wanted to make Her Majesty the Empress Dowager happy, nothing more."
After speaking, Granny Yun bowed to Mu Chenshuang again.
Mu Chenshuang nodded.
"Don't worry, Granny, I'll act according to the situation later."
"Then thank you very much, Princess."
Hearing Mu Chenshuang say this, Granny Yun finally smiled with relief.
Upon entering the palace, Mu Chenshuang saw the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked well, but there was a hint of worry between her brows, especially after she saw Mu Chenshuang enter, her brows furrowed even more.
Seeing the scene before her, Granny Yun secretly sighed.
It was clear that the Empress Dowager was very happy to see Mu Chenshuang, but the smile on her face was forced.
Mu Chenshuang bowed and then chatted with the Empress Dowager about everyday matters.
The Empress Dowager's health will be fine as long as she follows the prescription she gave. Mu Chenshuang came to see the Empress Dowager to speak to her.
"Your Majesty, please take it easy. Many things will turn out well in the end. Although there may be some twists and turns in the process, it will not affect the outcome."
Mu Chenshuang's words had a hidden meaning, which the Empress Dowager immediately understood.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, then glanced at Granny Yun and the other palace maids and eunuchs.
Granny Yun immediately understood and led those people away.
Soon, only Mu Chenshuang and the Empress Dowager remained in the entire hall.
This made Mu Chenshuang feel much more relaxed.
"I know you want to persuade me, and I am not the kind of person who is unreasonable, but His Majesty's actions are truly disheartening. How could the matter of the Prince of Libei be related to the Prime Minister?"
In front of Mu Chenshuang, the Empress Dowager directly voiced her doubts.
Mu Chenshuang also frowned.
"Your Majesty, analyzing the situation in the court, the Prime Minister has always stood behind the Crown Prince. The Prime Minister wants the Crown Prince to have a capable assistant more than anyone else."
"The King of Libei has made great military achievements, and the Prime Minister would certainly not do such a thing. I'm afraid this is a deliberate act by someone with ulterior motives."
"Now, His Majesty has entrusted all matters related to the previous dynasty to the Second Prince, Feng Ranmo. I'm afraid there's something to it..."
Mu Chenshuang stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, causing the Empress Dowager to frown even more deeply.
"That mother and son are truly working together flawlessly. One controls the harem, while the other stirs up trouble in the court. How can the Emperor not see through them?"
This time, Mu Chenshuang did not follow up on what Empress Taihou had said.
