Her words shocked everyone who heard them.
To outsiders, Lu Wei was a kind-hearted person who treated Mu Chenshuang even better than her own daughter, but they never expected her to be so vicious.
Lu Wei's face turned pale instantly, and the fear in her heart outweighed her hatred.
"Shuang'er, how can you slander me like this? You are perfectly fine now, how come you look like you have lost your inner strength?"
Mu Chenshuang glanced at her, her cold, sharp gaze like a blade piercing her heart.
"I'm fine now because I've been cured. If I hadn't been cured, I don't know how many times you would have killed me."
Mu Chenshuang spoke in a very harsh tone.
Her words swept over everyone like a tidal wave.
Lu Wei stared wide-eyed at Mu Chenshuang, her heart pounding violently. "You...you're blatantly slandering me."
Her screams sounded so powerless at this moment.
Mu Chenshuang ignored Lu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, I have evidence to prove that it was Madam Lu who poisoned me."
Lu Wei was so frightened by her words that she lost her composure. How could there be any evidence? She had already destroyed the evidence long ago. Perfect, if Mu Chenshuang used false evidence to frame her, she would have a chance to refute and turn the tables, and make this bitch pay the price.
Thinking of this, Lu Wei forced herself to calm down. She wanted to see what evidence Mu Chenshuang could find.
Feng Guche looked at Mu Chenshuang and asked in a deep voice, "What evidence?"
Mu Chenshuang calmly replied, "There is something I wonder if Your Highness still remembers."
Feng Xilan tensed up upon hearing this, while Xiao Qingyu, who had been stunned into silence, tensed up upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words.
"What's up?"
"When Your Highness and I were on our way back to the capital, we were attacked by assassins when we arrived in Yongcheng. Your Highness was secretly injured."
Feng Xilan replied, "I remember."
At that time, Xiao Qingyu was in Yongcheng. When he woke up, his body had recovered quite a bit. Xiao Qingyu stayed by his side the whole time. She was injured and took a sword for him, so at that time he inexplicably believed that Xiao Qingyu had saved him.
"At that time, I was secretly injured and poisoned. I thought I could hold on until I reached the capital for treatment, but the treatment was delayed, and my meridians were damaged, so I lost my internal strength."
Xiao Qingyu knew perfectly well that she was lying. It was she who had inhaled the Crown Prince's poison into her own body, which caused her to be poisoned and lose her internal energy.
But she couldn't refute her lie; if she did, wouldn't that be telling His Highness that the person who saved him was Mu Chenshuang?
Lu Wei was well aware of this as well.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xilan's face darkened. He remembered that his subordinates had reported that Mu Chenshuang was not injured at all; it was he who had been poisoned, while he remained unharmed. How could Xiao Qingyu, a woman with no strength, possibly save him from his injuries?
However, as soon as I began to have doubts, my head suddenly started to ache in waves.
"But by sheer coincidence, just two days ago, I overheard a conversation at a restaurant. These people were assassins who were making a living by trading. They were preparing to exchange money at a black market workshop to purchase supplies. I feel obligated to serve the court on such an important matter."
Therefore, I secretly followed them. Coincidentally, among the silver they were exchanging was the silver Your Majesty had previously bestowed upon the Marquis's residence. I then sent someone to report them to the authorities, and they were all apprehended. However, when they were about to commit suicide, one of them was stopped and, under duress, revealed the truth, confessing to the assassination attempt in Yongcheng. Lord Fan is well aware of this matter.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei felt completely weak and could barely straighten her back. How could this be? Not to mention that the silver had already been burned, those assassins should have been dealt with. How could they still be alive?
Zhu Qin's expression grew increasingly serious.
Feng Guche sent someone to summon Fan Qin, who was just about to leave the palace. After receiving the eunuch's message, Fan Qin hurried over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Feng Guche asked, "Did the Court of Justice arrest assassins who had bought kills in the martial arts world?"
Fan Qin respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, but I was unable to stop them in time and three people committed suicide. I have arranged for someone to keep a close watch on the remaining person."
"So the assassin instructed Yongcheng to assassinate Princess Weiyang."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already sent men to seize the workshops that were illegally burning government funds. I originally planned to report this to Your Majesty at court tomorrow."
Feng Guche looked at Lu Wei with a stern and angry gaze, "Madam Lu, what else do you have to say now?!"
