After taking off his court robes, Feng Moran put on a long robe that reached the ground, releasing his lazy and charming aura.
He leaned back on the huge chaise lounge, stroking the wine cup, lost in thought.
As Feng Mo Ran was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from inside the hall. His eyes narrowed and his gaze sharpened instantly.
When he realized that the person who came in was his subordinate Yun Xiu, his sharp eyebrows softened a little.
"Just as Your Highness thought, the Crown Prince went to Fengyi Palace and came out with a brocade box in his hand, which should be handed over to the Emperor on behalf of the Empress," Yun Xiu replied respectfully.
"It seems they've put in quite a bit of effort to get the Empress out of confinement." Feng Mo Ran raised his long, brush-like eyebrows, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Perhaps, this prince should lend them a hand."
Yun Xiu was somewhat puzzled and looked up at Feng Mo Ran in surprise, "I don't understand? Isn't it a good thing that the Empress is now under house arrest?"
Feng Mo Ran, who had other plans in mind, shook her head slightly, then smiled faintly, looking up as if everything was under control, and said, "Who said that releasing it is necessarily a good thing? Never mind, just wait and see."
"Go down." Feng Mo Ran suddenly thought of Lord Mu, who had spoken so eloquently in court today. Her brows furrowed, and her venomous eyes suddenly darkened.
Thinking of Lord Mu's insincere words and Mu Chenshuang's direct rejection of him, he suddenly felt a surge of irritation and anger.
To be honest, Mu Chenshuang is indeed a valuable and interesting woman, and Lord Mu's military talent is also rare.
Now that he has control of the entire palace, he wants to win them over because he values their talent.
Unexpectedly, these two were so stupid and ungrateful that they actually rejected him. But that was bad enough, they actually wanted to support Feng Xilan, that good-for-nothing.
Do they really think that Feng Xilan can beat him now?
Thinking of this, Feng Mo Ran narrowed his eyes and crushed the white jade cup in his hand with just a little force.
Upon seeing this, Yun Xiu was startled and immediately knelt down, saying, "I don't know what I have done to anger the Second Prince so much, or is it someone else who has angered the Second Prince?"
Coming back to her senses after hearing Yun Xiu's words, Feng Mo Ran lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the murderous intent that had flashed in her eyes just now, and said: "Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you. Continue to send more people to keep an eye on the movements of the Marquis of Jingbian's residence and the Prime Minister Shen's residence.
Yun Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
Feng Mo Ran's eyes flickered, and a different thought suddenly came to mind.
Now that Mu Chenshuang and Lord Mu know they are being watched and are as timid as startled birds, trying their best to hide themselves and not wanting him to find any fault with them, then he might as well take this opportunity to turn his sharp blade directly on Feng Xilan and Prime Minister Shen.
Although Marquis Mu of Jingbian holds a large army, he is a loyal and upright man who would never rebel against the emperor. So, he only needs to gradually take back military power and even sideline Marquis Mu.
Feng Xilan absolutely cannot be kept alive. As long as he remains in that position, Lord Mu and Mu Chenshuang will continue to support him.
Prime Minister Shen's situation is different. He already wields immense power in the court and is a civil official. He is familiar with court intrigues and is also related to the imperial family. His kinship with Shen Biyun and Feng Xilan is an unbreakable bond between them.
