Fu Junheng asked coldly, "Who do you think it could be?"
Feng Ji guessed, "She has no grudge against the Prince of the City, so the Prince of the City is not, much less, the Crown Prince. As for some people in the Ministry of War, Princess Weiyang has no dealings with them. Firstly, it is very unlikely that these people in the Ministry of War will be in power, and secondly, they do not have the ability to assassinate Shen Nanzhi, so there is naturally no need to bring trouble to them."
As Feng Ji spoke, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "And there is only one person I can think of: the Sixth Prince, Feng Hao."
Fu Junheng's pupils contracted slightly, his dark golden eyes revealing an unfathomable depth.
“Princess Weiyang must be very clear about Feng Hao’s ambition. When she interrogated Yanse before, she must have guessed that there must be someone else behind Feng Hao. Feng Hao had framed her before, so firstly, the two of them had a grudge. Princess Weiyang is not the kind of person who would swallow her anger. She was probably just looking for an opportunity. Secondly, since there is someone behind Feng Hao, they will definitely protect his safety. In this way, the biggest suspicion falls on Feng Hao, and it can also draw out the person behind him. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”
As Feng Ji analyzed the situation, he looked at Fu Junheng and asked, "So we're still a step too late. What are you planning to do next?"
Fu Junheng remained silent, his expression stern and cold.
Feng Ji knew in his heart that this matter would probably not be easy to resolve in the short term, since it involved Mu Chenshuang.
"There's still time to prepare. You can think about it carefully tonight."
After saying this, Feng Ji left Yao Guang Residence without lingering.
Early the next morning.
Chen Ping, Shen Nan's bodyguard, arrived at the Marquis's residence.
Mu Chenshuang received his message: the Prince of the City was involved in a bribery case involving officials, and he would definitely be reported by the court officials at the morning court session.
It was obvious that Feng Yunqi had been stabbed in the back, but at this particular moment, it was clear that someone had timed it perfectly.
If something happens to the City King, military power will certainly not fall into his hands. Feng Guche will most likely be forced by pressure to hand over power to Shen Nanzhi.
“I think the person who framed the City King behind the scenes isn’t targeting the City King, but your master,” Mu Chenshuang said.
Chen Ping's expression darkened. "The general also has the same suspicion."
“With the King of the City in trouble, I suspect His Majesty will secretly send people to investigate who brought this up. But on the same day, Nan Zhi was assassinated, making it hard not to suspect that it was the same person who did it, so things have become a bit complicated.”
"Then who exactly would frame the City King, implying the General?"
"Ordinary people might just try their best to stop Shen Nan from taking power, but someone who wants to expand his power infinitely, to make him stand above everyone else, is definitely plotting a conspiracy behind the scenes."
Mu Chenshuang's words left Chen Ping stunned.
"Fortunately, the general is currently injured and unable to take on the task of reorganizing the Libei Army, but who is behind this scheme?"
Mu Chenshuang frowned, her expression dark.
It seems that this seemingly peaceful imperial city may already be hiding a turbulent undercurrent.
"Go back and take good care of your general. I will investigate this matter."
"Yes, Princess Weiyang can give us any instructions if needed."
"I know."
Chen Ping then left the Marquis's residence.
Qi Ye looked at Mu Chen Shuang and asked, "Miss, who do you think it could be?"
Mu Chenshuang rested her head on one hand, closed her eyes, and pondered for a long time before suddenly asking, "Who exactly is behind Feng Hao?"
Qi Ye was startled. "Could it be the person behind him?"
Mu Chenshuang lowered her hand, her face full of worry, "It's just a suspicion."
The world is shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. A single misstep could plunge one into an abyss.
