Mu Chenshuang put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and stood up. The moment she stood up, her wrist was grabbed and she froze.
Fu Junheng held her wrist and said in a low, husky voice, "I'll take you."
Mu Chenshuang refused, "No need, you should still have things to discuss with Prince Xiaoyao."
Fu Junheng stood up, without answering Mu Chenshuang's question, and pulled her towards the door, saying, "Let's go!"
Mu Chenshuang kept her eyes deep and didn't pull her hand away, letting the man hold her.
They remained silent the entire way.
We arrived outside the Prince's Mansion.
"Alright, that's enough for you!"
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her hand.
Fu Junheng clenched his fist and withdrew it after missing his target. He looked at her, his pupils dark and deep. He didn't say anything more and saw her onto the carriage.
"Be careful on the road."
Fu Junheng watched the carriage slowly drive away, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair and clothes.
Mu Chenshuang sat in the carriage, slowly lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, the fierce look in her eyes was a kind of determination.
Fu Junheng returned to the mansion.
Feng Ji poured him a glass of wine. "The current outcome is probably what you already predicted. Princess Weiyang will definitely not choose you, Junheng. Of course, I guess she won't choose Feng Moran either."
The only option is to stand with the Shen family.
Fu Junheng sat down, picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He put his hand down, rubbed the wine glass in his hand, and looked deep in thought.
“At least half of the power behind the entire court is already in Feng Mo Ran’s hands, and the emperor’s attention to him is his biggest bargaining chip.”
Feng Ji said, "The Marquis still holds absolute military power, and with Prime Minister Shen also in charge, Feng Mo Ran dares not act rashly. However, if Prime Minister Shen and Marquis Mu were to join forces at this time, it would violate the Emperor's taboo. At this time, their every move should be closely monitored by the Chengtianjian."
Prime Minister Shen has held sway in the court for many years, and it is not an easy task to dismantle him, so the only option is to start with Marquis Mu.
Although Lord Mu holds military power and enjoys a high status, he has been fighting on the front lines for many years, leaving him with very little influence in the court. In addition, there are some court officials who are at odds with Lord Mu, so the easiest target to bring down right now is the Marquis's mansion.
"Wasn't that your original purpose?" Feng Ji said with a sigh.
Fu Junheng's most important purpose in staying in the capital was to weaken Lord Mu's military power. Lord Mu's military talent should not be underestimated. In fact, from the moment Lord Mu returned to the capital, he should have started to act according to the pre-established plan.
But who would have thought that Fu Junheng had developed feelings for Mu Chenshuang? Of course, the most important reason was that another force in the court was hiding in the shadows, which slowed down the process.
Of course, it is already very clear who this force is.
"Right now, what Feng Mo Ran wants most is to have Lord Mu under her command. This is probably an important reason why Feng Mo Ran entered the military camp. However, judging from Lord Mu's personality, it is unlikely that he will agree to collude with Feng Mo Ran."
Now that Qi Mingsen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has been dismissed, he has been replaced by someone else, who is also one of Feng Mozhan's men.
Fu Junheng's expression was not good at the moment.
Feng Ji looked at him and said, "It is indeed quite difficult to find a solution that satisfies both of you right now. Princess Weiyang probably knows very well that there is no possibility between you unless she really abandons the Marquis's mansion and the country. But do you really hold such a heavy place in her heart?"
