The Marquis of Jingbian's attitude once again worried Mu Chenshuang.
These are turbulent times, and now such a serious missing person and murder case has occurred in the capital. If the case is not solved soon, the people of the city will surely be filled with anxiety.
At this time, any disturbance could be fatal.
Mu Chenshuang spoke up from the side.
"Hopefully all of this will come later, when we are ready, and then we will have nothing to worry about."
Mu Chenshuang's original intention was not to have her father rebel, but to support the Crown Prince with a large army and protect her own family's safety.
Ever since the Empress was banished to the Cold Palace, Mu Chenshuang had a bad feeling that things were getting worse.
The Second Prince's Residence.
Just as Mu Chenshuang and Lord Mu were talking, Feng Mozhan also gathered all his subordinates together.
Zhang Zhan, Zhu Qin, and some of Feng Mo Ran's confidants all appeared in the prince's study.
Feng Mo Ran first looked around, then asked a question in front of everyone.
"How are things going, everyone?"
Several people stepped forward, cupped their hands in a fist salute, and bowed to the Second Prince.
"Your Highness! We have done as you instructed and have completed the task."
"We have completed all the tasks Your Highness instructed. Please rest assured."
As they spoke, one of them took out letters from his person and handed them to the Second Prince.
Feng Mo Ran unfolded the letter, glanced at a few lines, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
“That’s good. With this evidence, we can take it a step further.”
Zhu Qin didn't know what Feng Mo Ran was planning, but judging from the slight upturn of Feng Mo Ran's lips, what was about to happen would definitely cause a stir in the court.
Thinking of what happened to the King of Libei back then, Zhu Qin was secretly shocked.
If things go wrong, what happens next could be a repeat of the Libei King incident.
The next morning, after the morning court session, Feng Mo Ran secretly invited the Vice Minister of War to her home as a guest.
After Zhuge Yi was promoted to Vice Minister of War, he received an invitation from the Second Prince Feng Moran. He was filled with mixed feelings and was torn between two options.
At this moment, Zhuge Yi was at a loss for what to do.
Since entering the court, Zhuge Yi has understood that he and the Crown Prince are not on the same side, but he has never expressed his opinion or shown his stance.
It can be said that Zhuge Yi did not belong to the Second Prince's faction, nor to the Crown Prince's faction; he was completely neutral.
Zhuge Yi's thoughts were very simple: with each new emperor comes a new court, and now that he was serving under Feng Guche, all he had to do was fulfill his duties.
Right now, all I need to do is obey Emperor Feng Guche's orders. If I have to choose sides, I'll listen to Feng Guche.
However, when Feng Mo Ran invited him to a banquet at her home at this time, Zhuge Yi immediately felt that something was strange about it.
"My lord, it is common knowledge that the Second Prince holds great power in the court. The Empress has been banished to the Cold Palace by the Emperor, and the Crown Prince cannot leave his residence."
"Right now, His Highness the Second Prince has extended an olive branch. I wonder how you, sir, will respond? If you really side with His Highness the Second Prince, what will you do if the Crown Prince asks about it later?"
"Although what you did cannot be considered a betrayal of the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is, after all, the heir apparent, and he was personally appointed by the current Emperor."
