When Mu Chenshuang and Fu Junheng arrived outside the main hall, the concubines of the third rank and below were waiting outside.
The moment Qi Mingsen saw Mu Chenshuang, his eyes sharpened, and he ordered, "Men, seize Princess Weiyang."
The words were spoken.
Several soldiers stepped forward to take Mu Chenshuang down.
Instantly, a chilling and terrifying aura spread out, and the intense feeling of suffocation made people dare not take a step closer. The soldiers stood frozen in place, looking at each other, not knowing how to take another step forward.
Fu Junheng's handsome face was as cold as ice, especially his golden eyes, which seemed like bottomless abysses. His sharp gaze warned those around him, and when those eyes fell on Qi Mingsen, a sense of fear trembled in his heart.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Qi Mingsen and asked, "General Qi, you must have a reason for ordering me to be captured."
Qi Mingsen came to his senses, calmed himself down, and looked at Mu Chenshuang standing at the bottom of the steps. He said, "Someone witnessed Princess Weiyang plotting against the Empress Dowager. Now the Empress Dowager is poisoned and unconscious, and her life is in danger. Princess Weiyang is a major suspect. Do you think I should arrest you?"
There wasn't a trace of panic on Mu Chenshuang's stunningly beautiful face; this outcome seemed to be exactly what she had expected.
"Is this how General Qi handles cases? Convicting someone based solely on one side's testimony? Doesn't General Qi think this is absurd? Besides, the Empress Dowager has been incredibly kind to me. What reason would I have to murder her? Without solid evidence or a confirmed motive, why is General Qi so eager to arrest me? Is it to absolve himself of responsibility for failing in his duty of guard, or is there another purpose?"
Mu Chenshuang's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, echoed before the main hall, carrying a powerful and intimidating force.
Qi Mingsen's face stiffened, and he stared at Mu Chenshuang with his brows furrowed. "Since someone saw that it was Princess Weiyang, then Princess Weiyang is a prime suspect."
Mu Chenshuang ignored Qi Mingsen and stepped onto the stairs.
Qi Mingsen reached out to stop her, "Stop!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
A sharp gaze pierced through him like a blade, and Qi Mingsen's arm stiffened. He was, after all, a great general of the Imperial Guard, yet he was intimidated by a woman.
All that could be heard was Mu Chenshuang's indifferent tone: "This princess is going in to visit the Empress Dowager now. What reason does General Qi have to stop me?"
Qi Mingsen was at a loss for words.
At this moment.
A clear, melodious voice rang out, "General Qi, please let Princess Weiyang in."
Mu Chenshuang looked up and saw Feng Anxue emerge gracefully from the main hall, looking at Mu Chenshuang with a haughty and disdainful gaze.
After receiving the order, Qi Mingsen lowered his hands, clasped his hands in a salute to Feng Anxue, and said, "Yes."
Mu Chenshuang strode forward, her gaze meeting Feng Anxue's indifferently. Just as she brushed past Feng Anxue, she heard her lower her voice and say with a mocking tone, "Princess Weiyang's appearance is really at an inopportune time."
Mu Chenshuang paused, glancing sideways at her.
Feng Anxue responded to Mu Chenshuang with a cold smile, then turned and walked into the palace.
Mu Chenshuang stared intently at Feng Anxue's retreating figure, her eyes growing increasingly deep.
Let's go!
Fu Junheng said something.
Mu Chenshuang came to her senses and followed them into the main hall.
at this time.
Feng Guche paced back and forth in front of the window curtains, looking anxious and uneasy.
Shen Biyun comforted her from the side, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will be safe and sound. Your Majesty, please don't worry and harm your health."
