The next day.
Mu Chenshuang received the morning dew sent by Fu Junheng, along with a message from him: "Last night, someone poisoned Chunxiao's food, but she was saved. Fortunately, Prince Xiaoyao was there and found out that she was not a servant of the Libei Prince's Mansion. However, after being tortured, she did not reveal the mastermind. The person has been replaced. Princess Weiyang can go to Yaoguang Residence."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened; it was both expected and unexpected.
As expected, the carefree prince helped him investigate Chunxiao's identity because he was worried that he would really protect her, since the child in her womb would suffer if something happened to her.
This made her even more curious about who else could make Feng Ji show up.
The reason why Prince Xiaoyao was able to find out was because he and Prince Libei's heir were once close friends. When the Libei Prince's Mansion was in trouble, he was far away at the border. By the time he returned, the entire Libei Prince's Mansion had been executed, and blood was flowing like a river.
Just three months after the incident at the Prince of Libei's residence, the Eastern Palace Incident occurred, and the Crown Prince was deposed and exiled. The connection between these events is self-evident. The Xue family had once been part of the former Crown Prince's faction. After the former Crown Prince's incident, the Xue family's fortunes plummeted. It was only thanks to Fenglian that the family was able to stabilize and avoid being implicated.
Therefore, Feng Ji knew everything about the Libei Prince's Mansion, and investigating a maid was a piece of cake.
If it weren't for the carefree prince investigating, they probably wouldn't have found anything.
But unexpectedly, they replaced Chunxiao with her and sent her to interrogate her.
Please wait a moment.
Mu Chenshuang drank the morning dew, changed her clothes, gave Linglong a few instructions, and then left with him.
Inside the study, a man rushed in and reported: "Madam, Chunxiao is still alive. Today, people from the Ministry of Justice arrived at the Court of Judicial Review and increased their manpower. It will probably not be easy to take Chunxiao's life again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei slammed her hand on the table and stood up, staring wide-eyed at the man. "What did you say? You're not dead?"
"The Prince of Xiaoyao saw through Chunxiao's identity, but Chunxiao was stubborn and didn't say anything after being tortured."
Hearing this, Mu Yazhi was extremely worried and anxious: "Mother, what exactly is going on? She's just a maid, why does she need the Ministry of Justice to guard her? How did Prince Xiaoyao find out and see through Chunxiao's identity?"
Mu Yazhi gritted her teeth in hatred. Why was it the Carefree Prince again?
Lu Wei sat down, feeling somewhat weak, and rubbed her forehead with one hand. She explained, "The heir of the Libei Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Xiaoyao were once closely related. The incident that happened to the Libei Prince's Mansion was closely related to the former Crown Prince. Three months after the incident, the Eastern Palace Incident occurred. The Xue family was originally a member of the former Crown Prince's faction. It was only because of Princess Jinhua that the Xue family was able to settle down."
Mu Yazhi's eyes widened instantly, and she suddenly understood something. "So if Mu Chenshuang gets involved with the Prince of Libei, it will anger Princess Jinhua."
Lu Wei did indeed have such plans, and the matter of the Prince of Libei's residence was a thorn in the emperor's side.
So the original plan was that even if the matter went to the emperor, with Princess Jinhua adding fuel to the fire, Mu Chenshuang would definitely not be able to escape.
She had thought that Mu Chenshuang would be brought to the Court of Justice yesterday, but Fu Junheng's appearance was something she hadn't expected. Today, the Prince of Xiaoyao has intervened in the matter again, making things complicated once more.
"But Chunxiao's identity has been exposed, and she's still alive. Mother, what should we do now? What if she can't withstand the torture and confesses?"
Mu Yazhi was terrified, her face filled with anxiety.
Lu Wei was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the Court of Justice."
