"Guards, take this maid away," Zhu Qin ordered.
Yao seemed to struggle and scream, but in the end she was suppressed.
Zhu Qin stood up and walked to Mu Chenshuang and Feng Ji, his sharp eyes looking at Mu Chenshuang, "I, the chief officer, will definitely give Princess Weiyang an explanation."
Mu Chenshuang faced him calmly and fearlessly, saying indifferently, "I believe in the Chief."
Then.
Mu Chenshuang and Feng Ji left Chengtianjian together.
"Wei Yang really did have a trick up her sleeve, but how exactly did you do it?"
She was under constant surveillance from the moment she was taken away by the Chengtianjian, so she shouldn't have had any opportunity or time to explain herself.
Mu Chenshuang said defiantly, "If there's no opportunity, then create one."
In fact, on that day at the Prince of Wei's residence, after she took the opportunity to knock out the two guards, Qi Ye quietly entered the room. It was at that time that she told Qi Ye what he should do.
Feng Ji didn't press further, "But was it really your aunt who framed you?"
"Of course it's not her."
Feng Ji was not surprised by Mu Chenshuang's answer at all. "Who is that?"
"We don't know yet."
She couldn't be sure who had framed her for the time being. If a real investigation were to take place, and given that Zhu Qin was deliberately targeting her, she would have to stay in jail for ten days to half a month, which she really couldn't bear. So, by finding a scapegoat, she could take advantage of this opportunity to see Zhu Qin's attitude.
He was in such a hurry to have Yao Si taken away that he didn't even interrogate her about who was behind it all. Could it be that Zhu Qin, a ruthless and unscrupulous man, would actually show any pity for a maid? There's no need to overthink the motives behind this. Let's see how Zhu Qin deals with this maid.
"So you want to investigate it yourself?"
"Otherwise what?"
Feng Ji didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly asked, "But Zhu Qin let me go so easily today. I'm afraid it must have been with the help of the Prince of Xiaoyao. I'm curious what kind of leverage the Prince of Xiaoyao has over Zhu Qin?"
He had long since retired from politics and no longer participated in any court affairs. If he were to do so, he would still have something to hold over Zhu Qin, something that would surely make Zhu Qin bleed. In this way, Feng Ji would have completely offended Zhu Qin and would inevitably be drawn into the political turmoil.
Feng Ji smiled and said, "It's not really any particular weakness. In the previous corruption case in Nanling Prefecture, Zhu Qin and Nanling Shi colluded. In order to clear his name, Zhu Qin betrayed Nanling Shi."
Mu Chenshuang recalled that she had this memory in her mind: the Nanlin Prefecture embezzled military funds allocated by the imperial court, which led to a riot among the soldiers in Nanlin Prefecture. Nanling Prefecture and Qi State were on the border, and there was turmoil on the border. Wouldn't this be an excellent opportunity for other countries? Fortunately, the riot was suppressed at the time. Afterwards, the embezzlement case was discovered. The emperor was furious and the Shi family of Nanling was exterminated.
"Such a huge handle is not considered a special handle by the Prince of Xiaoyao. It could be used to accuse him of treason and collusion with the enemy. Isn't the Prince of Xiaoyao losing big for small things?"
Feng Ji sighed helplessly, "Isn't it someone who specifically asked me for help?"
Mu Chenshuang curled her lips into a cold smile, staring at him with disbelief, and said in a mocking tone, "Is that so! I thought you had received orders from your superiors."
Feng Ji's gaze fell ahead, and he smiled without saying a word, "At Shen Shi (3-5 PM), he will be waiting for you at the foot of Qinglong Temple."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang's heart sank suddenly.
