Mu Chenshuang stopped moving and stepped on the broken tree trunk.
She was alert, listening intently to the sounds around her. The wind rustled the leaves, accompanied by a murderous aura.
She never expected that these people would still harbor such wicked intentions. Today, the princes and noble families had already gone up the mountain to hunt, yet the assassins still dared to go up the mountain to carry out the assassination. They were truly not afraid of the emperor's investigation.
Sudden.
I heard a noise nearby.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, she gripped the silver needle, raised her hand, and fired it with her inner energy.
All that could be heard was a scream of pain.
"ah!"
Mu Chenshuang quickly stepped forward to check, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
How could it be Feng Hao?
Before Mu Chenshuang could think any further, she prepared to step forward to check on his condition when two royal guards suddenly appeared, exclaiming, "Sixth Prince!!"
Soon the Emperor and Empress learned that the Sixth Prince, Feng Hao, had been injured.
The two arrived at the camp, where the accompanying imperial physician had already treated Feng Hao.
"How is the situation?" Feng Guche asked hurriedly.
The imperial physician rose and respectfully replied, "The Sixth Prince's meridians were injured by the silver needles. I'm afraid he won't be able to practice martial arts for a while. If the needles had been slightly off-center, he might never have been able to practice martial arts again and would have to spend his life in a wheelchair. It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Although Feng Hao had a low profile, Feng Guche remembered him as a humble and hardworking child, especially after seeing his performance on the field yesterday, which made him quite satisfied.
However, seeing him injured and lying there today, almost crippled, ignited a surge of anger within me.
Feng Guche glared at the two guards and roared, "What on earth is going on?!"
Two guards knelt on one knee, clasped their hands in a fist and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, when we saw the Sixth Prince injured and lying on the ground, only Princess Weiyang was by his side."
The words were spoken.
Feng Guche's face darkened, and he turned his head to look at Mu Chenshuang with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward, knelt on one knee, nodded and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I sensed an assassin following me in the forest. I didn't recognize His Highness the Sixth Prince at first, so I accidentally injured him. I am guilty."
As Feng Guche listened to Mu Chenshuang's words, his lowered eyes grew even more profound, and his face darkened.
Feng Anxue, who followed in, seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down, saying, "Was it an accident or intentional on Princess Weiyang's part? When the Empress Dowager was being treated by Doctor Li, Consort Ling, who was unaware of the truth, said some things that were detrimental to Princess Weiyang. Who knows if you, Princess Weiyang, were holding a grudge and taking this opportunity to retaliate?"
As soon as Feng Anxue finished speaking.
Shen Biyun looked at her sternly, "Xue'er, you can't talk nonsense without evidence."
Feng Anxue always respected the Empress, but the thought of the Empress's unwavering protection of Mu Chenshuang filled her heart with resentment.
"Your Majesty, I am merely speculating. After all, Princess Weiyang and Consort Ling do indeed have a conflict. I had previously heard that Princess Weiyang is vindictive, and the Sixth Prince was injured today, which inevitably makes people think more about it."
Mu Chenshuang remained calm and continued, "Your Majesty, I have no grudge against the Sixth Prince. Your Highness the Princess has made unfounded accusations that I am seeking revenge. I have no defense. The Sixth Prince's injury today is my fault, and I am willing to accept Your Majesty's punishment."
At this moment.
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent.
