"Your Majesty, Princess Weiyang's destiny is Ren riding a dragon's back, accompanied by a calamity star. It will not have a great impact on herself, but it will have a great disruptive effect on the environment she is in. Her destiny is extremely strong. It is very rare for a woman to have such a destiny. I know an official who has the same destiny as Princess Weiyang. She is Your Majesty's grandmother, the Empress Dowager."
These words were spoken.
Feng Guche was shocked, and even the Empress Dowager's face turned pale. If it weren't for the Empress supporting her, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.
Who doesn't know the legend of this Empress Dowager? She overthrew the previous emperor and supported the young Feng Guche to the throne. When she controlled the court, the power of the maternal relatives was serious. However, her goal was not to make Feng Guche the emperor, but to pave the way for the person she wanted to support.
Since Feng Guche ascended the throne, he had lived under the shadow of the Empress Dowager for twenty-eight years. His favorite concubine, Lady An, who was also the birth mother of Feng Anxue, died at the hands of the Empress Dowager. Lady An's death was also a warning to him from the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, what Feng Guche feared most was the power of his maternal relatives. Since he came to power, he has used any means to suppress them.
The Imperial Observatory was established against this backdrop, with the aim of bringing all powerful relatives and officials under its control.
Therefore, the Imperial Advisor's words touched upon Feng Guche's greatest taboo, which was even more serious than the so-called calamity star.
A subtle, almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of Feng Anxue's lips.
Xiao Qingyu was overjoyed, her eyes widening and sparkling, but beneath that sparkle was a smug smile.
Mu Chenshuang, this time I'll see how you turn things around.
At this moment.
Zhu Qin, who had been standing to the side, received a message from Jiang Mingzhi. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qin strode forward and whispered a few words in Feng Guche's ear.
As Feng Guche listened, the terrifying aura emanating from his body made everyone afraid to breathe. What on earth had angered the dragon?
After obtaining Feng Guche's consent, Zhu Qin turned around and instructed, "Report this."
Immediately afterwards.
The inspector from the Imperial Observatory quickly approached, carrying a brown lunchbox, and respectfully handed it to Zhu Qin.
When Wei Xu saw the lunchbox, his heart tightened. If he wasn't mistaken, this wasn't the box he had brought when he delivered the pastries to Mu Chenshuang. He was already extremely nervous and anxious because of Mu Chenshuang, and now he was even more so.
Zhu Qin walked up to Mu Chenshuang with the box in his hand, his expression serious and stern, and asked, "Does Princess Weiyang recognize this lunchbox?"
Mu Chenshuang remained calm and composed, replying, "Of course I recognize it."
Everyone was surprised by her reaction.
Throughout, even when she heard the Imperial Advisor's words and the Emperor's face showed anger, she remained remarkably calm. Her serene demeanor made her appear even more noble and dignified, and even the concubines in the palace, including the Empress, seemed somewhat inferior to her.
Zhu Qin stared intently at her. He had witnessed Mu Chenshuang's intelligence and clarity, but her composure at this moment made him begin to have doubts.
"Princess Weiyang remembers, so who sent this lunchbox?"
In an instant.
The situation seemed to have turned into Zhu Qin interrogating Mu Chenshuang about her crimes.
Mu Chenshuang replied, "Since the Chengtianjian was able to bring it over, they naturally know who sent it. However, it's just an ordinary food box. Is there any problem with it?"
