Feng Xilan arrived at the Tingwei Division prison.
Fan Qin led him to the cell where Mu Chenshuang was being held.
Feng Xilan looked at Mu Chenshuang, who was leaning against the bed with her eyes closed, through the wooden pillar.
The dim lighting and simple environment could not conceal her noble air. She appeared so calm and composed, and even in such circumstances, she remained dazzling and beautiful.
Feng Xilan looked at her quiet profile, her eyelids slightly lowered, her pupils contracting slightly.
The bailiffs opened the cell door.
Hearing the noise, Mu Chenshuang slowly opened her eyes, her bright eyes remaining clear even in the dim light.
She saw Feng Xilan walk in.
Mu Chenshuang showed no intention of getting up to pay her respects, remaining reclined and motionless. "Your Highness's information network is truly impressive. Did you rush here so hastily to interrogate me?"
Feng Xilan's expression was cold. "There's no need for me to interrogate you. The Court of Justice will find out the truth on its own."
"Is that so? Then what brings Your Highness here?" Mu Chenshuang asked coldly.
Feng Xilan's eyes darkened as he stared at Mu Chenshuang. Her eyes were so cold and devoid of warmth that she seemed like a complete stranger to him.
After a while.
"Why did you ask Cai Mingquan to verify the donation accounts?" Feng Xilan suddenly asked.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and withdrew her gaze, coldly refusing, "This is my matter, there is no need to tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
Feng Xilan's hands, which were behind her back, suddenly tightened. "Judging from your expression, you don't seem worried about your own safety at all. You're thinking about who will come to save you, but you need to understand who you're trying to harm."
His tone became harsh, even threatening.
But when he said those words, he felt nervous, staring intently at Mu Chenshuang's expression, only to see the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Just now the Crown Prince said that the Court of Justice would investigate thoroughly. Now the Crown Prince is threatening me, is he thinking that even if I am innocent, he will still pin the crime on me and want to retaliate against me?"
really.
She never showed weakness before, let alone now.
Feng Xilan looked at her but did not respond.
The space suddenly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Mu Chenshuang frowned, looked up at Feng Xilan, her gaze filled with undisguised complexity. What exactly was he planning?
Feng Xilan noticed Mu Chenshuang's gaze, and in the blink of an eye, her eyes turned cold and arrogant. "If you tell the truth and say that you did not plot against Cai Mingquan, I can guarantee your safety."
Feng Xilan's words surprised Mu Chenshuang.
Shouldn't he take this opportunity to teach her a lesson and vent his anger?
Mu Chenshuang didn't speculate much about Feng Xilan's words and declined, saying, "There's no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself."
Feng Xilan's face immediately turned cold.
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, please leave. Staying here will only tarnish your noble status."
His presence here is a waste of her time.
Feng Xilan clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves. He shouldn't have come here. He snorted angrily, then turned and left.
He had just reached the prison gate when he ran into Feng Ji.
Feng Ji stopped in his tracks, extended his hand in a gesture of respect, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Feng Xilan looked down at Feng Ji with an indifferent expression and said, "The information of the Carefree King is truly well-informed; he arrived so quickly."
Feng Ji raised his head, a smile playing on his lips. "Such a big thing has happened, of course I would know."
"That's true, but why is the Carefree King in such a hurry to come? Is it because he's worried about himself or because he's on behalf of someone else?"
Feng Ji's ambiguous smile carried an invisible but powerful force. "Your Highness the Crown Prince has already divorced Princess Weiyang. Whether it's her matter or mine, Your Highness has no need to concern yourself with it."
The words were spoken.
Feng Xilan's eyes darkened. "As a major suspect, it would be best for Prince Xiaoyao to refrain from interfering in Mu Chenshuang's case."
After saying that, he strode away.
Feng Ji glanced at Feng Xilan before lowering his gaze and looking away.
Fan Qin then went to greet the carefree king.
He hadn't expected that the Crown Prince and Prince Xiaoyao would arrive so soon after Princess Weiyang entered the Court of Justice.
Although the Crown Prince was aggressive, it was clear that he wanted to stand up for Princess Weiyang.
Cases involving royalty and nobility are the most troublesome.
Mu Chenshuang was not surprised at all by Feng Ji's arrival. She asked in a raised voice, "Is this Prince Xiaoyao coming to see me on his own initiative, or is it someone you've been keeping secret from, or perhaps it's Crown Prince Junheng coming to find out about me?"
As he asked the question, his sharp gaze fixed on Feng Ji.
Feng Ji's cold, sharp, and deep eyes were unfathomable.
Feng Ji stepped forward and said softly, "Of course I want to know the details. The one who was murdered is the Minister of Revenue. But seeing how calm Princess Weiyang is, could it be that she already had a plan?"
Mu Chenshuang raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "My strategy is to wait for the Prince of Xiaoyao to come and save me, since you certainly won't let anything happen to me."
