Lu Wei picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and slowly put it down. She comforted Mu Yazhi, saying, "Now that Lord Cai is dead, there is no way to verify the facts. Without evidence, it won't be easy to investigate. Moreover, Prince Xiaoyao is just a retired prince now. If he forcibly intervenes, it will definitely attract His Majesty's attention."
Hearing her mother's words, Mu Yazhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sinister look, "That would be perfect. It would be best if Mu Chenshuang could be sentenced to death."
Originally, she wanted to use the cure of the Empress Dowager to establish a relationship with her, thereby ingratiating herself with the Empress Dowager and getting her to help her get in touch with Prince Xiaoyao. She thought that if Prince Xiaoyao got to know her better, he would definitely be moved by her and develop feelings for her.
In the end, she gained nothing, and the carefree prince even helped Mu Chenshuang.
How could she not hate that?
At this moment.
A maidservant came to report from outside the door, "Madam, a palace maid who claims to be the Crown Prince's concubine has arrived."
Hearing this, Mu Yazhi glanced at Lu Wei with a puzzled look, then instantly understood and said, "It seems that Xiao Qingyu knows about this matter, and she is probably eager to kill Mu Chenshuang."
Lu Wei looked at the maid and said, "Let her in!"
"yes!"
Lu Wei spoke a few words with the palace maid, nothing more than asking Xiao Qingyu to accuse Mu Chenshuang in front of the Crown Prince. After all, Mu Chenshuang had killed the Crown Prince's people, and the Crown Prince would certainly not let Mu Chenshuang off easily.
The palace maid left the Marquis's residence after learning about it.
"His Highness the Crown Prince must have hated Mu Chenshuang to the core long ago because he was confined to his quarters. He might want to take this opportunity to teach this woman a lesson. Let's see how Mu Chenshuang can turn the tables this time."
Feng Ji returned to Yao Guang Residence.
Fu Junheng sat in front of the chessboard, holding a black piece, his cold gaze fixed on the board. It was unclear whether he was seriously playing the game or thinking about something else.
"How is it?"
Feng Ji walked to the chessboard, held a white piece, and placed it on the board, blocking the path of the black piece.
"If you're so distracted, then don't bother logging off."
Fu Junheng stared at him with cold eyes.
Feng Ji sat to the side and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't seem to be in any danger. She probably already has a plan in mind, so she doesn't need us to save her."
What did she say to you?
Feng Ji told Fu Junheng the whole story.
"So, Cai Mingquan is still alive?"
Feng Ji guessed, "If she can heal you and the Empress Dowager, then faking someone's death is a piece of cake. She must be letting her guard down, making the other party think that she really has no other choice, so that she will reveal her true colors. But this depends on ensuring that Cai Mingquan's body is not tampered with."
Feng Ji's words caused Fu Junheng's eyes to darken abruptly, and he coldly ordered, "Secret Guards!"
The next second.
A dark figure appeared instantly and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Highness."
"Bring Jue Ming back immediately."
"yes."
Seeing this, Feng Ji asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Fu Junheng said in a deep voice, "Qi Qingye was saved by her and is now working for her."
The words were spoken.
Feng Ji asked in surprise, "Why would Qi Qingye be willing to stay by Mu Chenshuang's side?"
How could a cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty top-tier assassin possibly stay by Mu Chenshuang's side and work for her?
"It's probably amnesia."
"So Mu Chenshuang probably doesn't know his identity, which is why you've been sending assassins to kill him."
It seems that Mu Chenshuang intends to have Qi Qingye monitor Cai Mingquan's situation.
