Fu Junheng's powerful rebuttals completely changed the situation.
“Father, General Shen’s words just now were not without reason. Princess Weiyang has been framed many times before, and now the events that are linked one after another are indeed too coincidental.”
Feng Ji looked at Feng Guche and spoke, then his gaze fell on the Imperial Preceptor beside him.
"So please, Your Excellency, take a closer look at Princess Weiyang's destiny to see if there is truly a problem with it?"
The pressure from Fu Junheng had already made the Imperial Advisor untenable, and now that Feng Ji had turned his attention to him again, he was filled with even more fear.
Feng Guche noticed every change in the Grand Preceptor's expression and narrowed his eyes, staring at the Grand Preceptor. "Grand Preceptor!"
Feng Guche's deep and powerful voice stunned the Imperial Advisor, who lost his footing and knelt on the ground, prostrating himself. "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I... I must have really misjudged."
Now that Fu Junheng is standing here, arguing with him would be like throwing an egg against a rock, especially since he did indeed deceive the emperor.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied.
Some, however, were filled with fear and terror.
Feng Guche's expression suddenly changed.
"Isn't the Imperial Preceptor afraid of suffering a backlash for making random predictions about other people's fates in public?" Feng Ji retorted.
The Imperial Advisor trembled, his hands shaking.
Mu Chenshuang's fate was enough to turn against him, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say those insightful words.
"Your Majesty, I have not yet fully grasped the content of my master's teachings."
The new Grand Preceptor is the eldest disciple of the Grand Preceptor. The Grand Preceptor went into seclusion for three years, so this disciple temporarily assumed the position of Grand Preceptor during those three years.
He proactively admitted that his lack of academic proficiency was less serious than deliberately framing someone, so shifting the blame to his lack of academic proficiency was indeed a wise choice.
At this moment.
Feng Ji's gaze involuntarily fell on the lunchbox in Jiang Mingzhi's hand. He strode forward, raised his hand, and swept his finger across the lunchbox.
Everyone looked at Feng Ji's actions with confusion.
Only Lu Wei, standing in the crowd, began to feel extremely uneasy.
Feng Ji instructed the eunuch beside him, "Go and fetch another basin of water."
The eunuch hurriedly turned and left.
Anyone with eyes can see what Feng Ji is up to.
The eunuch quickly brought back a basin of salt water. Feng Ji put his hand into the basin, and a black mist appeared in the water.
"this……"
Everyone was astonished.
It was obvious that the lunchbox was sprinkled with mercury.
"Did Princess Weiyang touch this lunchbox yesterday?" Feng Ji asked.
Mu Chenshuang replied, "When Prince Wei sent the snacks, I opened the lunchbox myself and indeed encountered them."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xu panicked completely and hurriedly explained in a trembling voice, "I...I don't know there's any mercury on this."
Wei Xu naturally had no reason to frame Mu Chenshuang, after all, this would drag the Wei Prince's Mansion into the abyss as well.
"Besides you, Prince Wei, think carefully about who else has touched this lunchbox?" Feng Ji asked.
Wei Xu panicked and tried to calm himself down, quickly recalling what had happened.
The box was given to him by his mother. The people in the Prince of Wei's mansion would never do such a thing, until he suddenly thought of someone. Only then did the box leave his sight.
Thinking about this.
Wei Xu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Has the Crown Prince of Wei thought of something?"
Wei Xu seemed not to hear, completely lost in thought, until the Prince Wei's stern urging voice rang out, "The Prince of Xiaoyao is asking you a question, why don't you quickly and honestly confess?"
Prince Wei was frantic. This concerned the fate of the Prince's mansion, which was in its current state and could not withstand any further disruption.
