The Prime Minister's Mansion.
By the time Marquis Mu Houchu returned, Ling Feng had already been waiting. He quickly said, "Your return is overdue, my lord. The Shen family has already learned of your decision to relinquish power. They are eagerly recommending their own candidates to the Emperor, hoping to gain an early advantage. If the real power falls into their hands, I fear..."
Marquis Mu Houchu strode into the mansion, his face impassive. "Even if the Shen family has such intentions, it remains to be seen whether the Emperor emulates such wishes. After being deceived twice, how can he easily trust others?"
Ling Feng said, "The Shen family is different, it has Concubine Shen in the palace. After yesterday's events, Concubine Shen was almost killed! The Emperor's trust in the Shen family is not insignificant!"
Old Man Chen may have fallen from power, but the Shen family is still thriving!
