"Lord Yan, why do you say such things?"
Feng Jinyu frowned and said, "The process of this matter is clear, and the evidence is conclusive. Can there really be any variables?"
Yan Peizhi tapped his fingers on the armrest and said, "Such a major event has occurred, yet there is no movement from the Prince Yu Mansion. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?"
"Moreover, Chen Mo was taken away by Eunuch Jin and is still staying in the palace, which clearly indicates Her Majesty the Empress’s stance..."
Upon first hearing this news, Yan Peizhi was also very excited, thinking this was a rare opportunity to deal with the Chen Family.
But he quickly calmed down.
Chen Mo is no fool. On the contrary, his resolution of several significant cases shows that he is meticulous and moves with careful planning. He would never make such a grave mistake out of impulsiveness.
If he dared to attack Chu Heng in public, he must have been fully prepared.
"Could it be an intentional flaw to lure us in?"
Previously, every time Yan Peizhi thought he was certain of victory, Chen Mo would unexpectedly turn the situation around, leaving a significant psychological shadow on him...
With these words, the room fell silent.
The crowd calmed down, and their expressions inevitably became a bit grim.
"What is His Highness thinking, placing such importance on Consort Yu’s confidant?"
"I’ve always found it puzzling. The Chen Family causes such turmoil in the court, yet His Highness remains unmoved, even growing more partial to Chen Mo..."
"It is indeed strange. Even if there is a desire to cherish talent, it shouldn’t be to such an extent."
"His Majesty has been bedridden for many years, and the Empress is alone. Could it be..."
"Ahem, watch your words!"
"So what do we do now? Are we just going to let this go?"
Feng Jinyu played with two lion-headed weights in his hand and said solemnly, "Her Majesty the Empress has a splendid mind and her wisdom illuminates, but court affairs change rapidly, and errors in judgment are inevitable in urgent matters..."
He glanced at Yan Peizhi with a meaningful look and said, "Lord Yan, some decisions we must make ourselves."
Yan Peizhi naturally understood Feng Jinyu’s implication.
For Her Majesty the Empress, balancing and stabilizing is the top priority, unconcerned with the loss or gain of a single city or territory.
But in this process, it inevitably damages the interests of court officials like them.
Factional conflict is bloody and brutal. Yesterday it was the Zhou Family, tomorrow it might be the Yan Family, the Feng Family... Serving as officials for many years, who dares to claim their record is entirely clean?
"But Chen Mo has a Death Exemption Token on his side. It’s almost impossible to pin him down directly..."
Chen Mo has a second-class Flying Phoenix Order. This is no secret.
Last time, when he killed Jian Yinsan in public in the Donghua Region, it was judged as self-defense, and the token wasn’t even used. This means Chen Mo still has at least one more exemption from death!
"The token may exempt from death, but it doesn’t mean he’s guilt-free."
