Lu Hua was trembling with fear, but in the end she still told the whole story. Although Crown Prince Jun Heng was as bright as the moon in the world and was a perfect match for the princess in terms of status and position, if he didn't love her, he didn't love her. She didn't want to see the proud and noble princess troubled by love and make herself so miserable.
Sudden.
Feng Anxue reached for a cup beside her and smashed it on the ground. Her face was contorted with rage, and her eyes were filled with undisguised jealousy and anger.
Lu Hua hurriedly knelt on the ground, nodded and said, "Princess, there are some things I still want to make clear to you. You are a high and mighty princess, the apple of His Majesty's eye. What kind of excellent man wouldn't you have? Crown Prince Junheng is certainly good, but if he doesn't have Your Highness in his heart, no matter what you do, Your Highness, he won't even glance at you."
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a snap.
A slap landed hard on Lu Hua's face. "It's none of your business to lecture me on my affairs."
Lu Hua hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground, saying, "This servant dares not."
"Even if I can't have him, Mu Chenshuang won't get him either," Feng Anxue said viciously. She would never let Mu Chenshuang off easily.
"What's going on with today's assassin?"
"An investigation has already begun, and results should be available soon."
"Where is Master Qi Zong?"
"Master Qi is on the ship. I will have him come over right away."
Go!
Lu Hua then stood up and walked towards the door.
Qi Zhen quickly entered the room, looked at Feng Anxue, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess!"
"Sect Leader Qi, there's no need for such formalities."
Qi Zhen withdrew his hand. "Yes!"
"Sect Leader Qi must know why I've come to see you. I need to know exactly what's going on."
What exactly is Mu Chenshuang's ability that she couldn't even get a reaction to the medicine Qi Zhen gave her?
"Is the princess certain that Princess Weiyang ate it?"
Feng Anxue firmly stated, "I clearly saw her swallow it; I absolutely cannot be mistaken."
Lu Hua, who was standing to the side, said, "The pastry did indeed contain the medicine that Sect Leader Qi gave you. There is absolutely no mistake."
Qi Zhen's expression hardened slightly. "If Princess Weiyang really took the Changyou Powder, there's only one reason why she didn't react."
Feng Anxue's brows furrowed. "What?"
"It means that there is a spirit in her body that can dilute the poison."
Feng Anxue looked surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that one can dilute various poisons through the spiritual body within the body, protecting the body from any poison or toxic gas. The higher the cultivation of the spiritual body, the better it can protect itself from being in the best condition for a long time. It can also input spiritual energy to treat other patients with difficult and complicated diseases, and even bring the dead back to life. However, a person with a spiritual body must have an absolutely pure mind and body, and must not be tainted by the bloodlust of killing."
Feng Anxue was shocked when she heard this.
"Could it be that Mu Chenshuang has a spirit? And she even knows medicine?"
Lu Hua, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise and astonishment, "Princess Weiyang grew up on the frontier, practiced martial arts from a young age, and fought on the battlefield. She has taken countless lives on her shoulders and is stained with the blood of countless killings. How could Princess Weiyang possibly be absolutely pure in mind and body? Moreover, I have never heard of Princess Weiyang knowing medicine."
Qi Zhen continued to explain, "Indeed, only the spiritual healers of my Divine Healer Sect possess spiritual bodies, but there is another possibility: witch doctors."
Feng Anxue was startled, "A witch doctor?"
Lu Hua reminded her, "Princess, I've heard that the former queen of Qi was a witch doctor, and also the sister-in-law of the Imperial Noble Consort. It's said that because of her existence, Qi suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Changling, leading to the decline of the nation's fortunes, and she was eventually executed."
