The imperial physician came to treat her, but when he checked on Cai Mingquan, she had already passed away.
After the Ministry of Revenue reported the case, Fan Qin, the chief envoy of the Court of Justice, rushed over on horseback.
After investigation, it was found that Tsai Ming-chuan had died suddenly of a heart attack.
Fan Qin first inquired of Mu Chenshuang, his attitude quite respectful, "Why is Princess Weiyang here today?"
Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, "I came to ask Lord Cai to verify the details of the previous donations from the Marquis's residence."
"May I ask what Princess Weiyang did when Lord Cai fell ill?"
Mu Chenshuang calmly said, "I saw that Lord Cai was having a relapse and spilled his medicine on the ground, so I picked it up for him."
Fan Qin lowered his eyes to look at Mu Chen Shuang, clearly full of suspicion, "So, before Princess Weiyang could give Lord Cai his medicine, Lord Cai suddenly died?"
Before Mu Chenshuang could answer, a furious and indignant shout came from outside the door: "Utter nonsense!"
The people who strode in were none other than Cai Mingquan's wife and Cai Youjin.
When the two saw Cai Mingquan lying motionless on the ground, their eyes immediately reddened, and they rushed forward.
"master!"
"father!"
Madam Cai rushed forward and threw herself onto Cai Mingquan's body, crying out in despair, "Master, wake up! Wake up! How could you leave me and Jin'er like this!"
In an instant.
The room was filled with Mrs. Cai's loud sobs.
Cai Youjin suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot with anger, staring at Mu Chenshuang. He stood up abruptly, drew a guard's sword, and charged at Mu Chenshuang.
"You wretch, I'm going to kill you to avenge my father."
However, before Cai Youjin could get close, the sword in his hand was knocked to the ground, and then another sword was pressed against his neck. Cai Youjin was so frightened that he panicked instantly, and the anger in his eyes turned into fear and terror.
In the end, Cai Youjin was just a useless good-for-nothing. He was afraid that after his father died, no one would take care of him.
Mu Chenshuang walked around to Qi Ye's side, reached out and grasped his arm, signaling him to put down his sword.
"Young Master Cai, please calm down. Whether Lord Cai died from a sudden illness or was murdered by someone else is still inconclusive." Fan Qin said solemnly.
The words were spoken.
Madam Cai suddenly choked up and said, "Although my husband was in excruciating pain, he had been able to control it very well for so long. It was impossible for him to collapse before he could even take his medicine. It must have been a premeditated murder."
Fan Qin looked at a maid kneeling on the ground, who was the first witness. "Tell me everything you just saw, down to the smallest detail. If you lie, you will be punished."
The maid trembled with fright and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, answering tremblingly, "When I came in to deliver the tea, I saw that Lord Cai had already fallen to the ground, and the princess... the princess was holding a pill in her hand."
The maid paused, then continued, "There's...there's also..."
"what else?"
"Before the incident, I overheard the princess and the master arguing about the account records."
The maid's words thrust Mu Chenshuang into the eye of the storm.
Upon hearing this, Cai Youjin snapped out of his daze and angrily shouted, "Mu Chenshuang, you are plotting murder! Lord Fan, what are you standing there for? Arrest her immediately! You cannot protect her in public just because she is a princess!"
Fan Qin glanced sideways at Cai Youjin, his eyes carrying a threatening force, "Is Young Master Cai trying to teach me how to do things?"
Cai Youjin's pupils widened in fright, and his heart skipped a beat.
