Fu Junheng's words shocked everyone present.
Two days ago at the Emperor's birthday banquet, Fu Junheng's words inevitably aroused suspicion and speculation.
However, because of Fu Junheng's relationship with Feng Ji, he has basically had no contact with women since he arrived in Kyoto, so no one has thought much about his improper relationship with Mu Chenshuang.
But what does he mean by saying this now?
Could it be that these two really have some special relationship?
Mu Chenshuang's expression was indifferent, her clear and deep eyes calmly meeting the gaze of the man before her.
At this moment.
Lu Wei stepped forward and gave a slight bow: "I was unaware that Crown Prince Junheng was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you properly. However, what you said is somewhat inappropriate. This is Shuang'er's home. How can she stay at Crown Prince Junheng's residence? It would not have a good impact on you. Also, regarding today's events, we do need to wait for the investigation results."
Fu Junheng completely ignored Lu Wei and looked at Feng Lian. Even though the person in front of him was his aunt by blood, he had no intention of bowing to her.
“I heard everything Princess Weiyang said clearly just now. Didn’t you understand, Aunt?”
The voice, devoid of emotion, was chillingly cold.
Feng Lian stared intently at Fu Junheng, her expression unchanged, but her arrogant demeanor from before had clearly weakened considerably.
"Jiajia's poisoning is no small matter. Among those involved, only Mu Chenshuang has the ability and capacity to poison Jiajia. No matter how reasonable her excuses are, since she is a prime suspect, she must be investigated by the Court of Justice. Junheng, this matter involves the laws of Tianzhao Kingdom, so you'd better not interfere in Mu Chenshuang's affairs anymore, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Fu Junheng's thin lips curved into a faint smile as he spoke calmly, "I never intended to meddle in other people's business, but I just happened to run into this. Princess Weiyang asked her maid to come and discuss something with me, but when I arrived here, I happened to see a maid acting suspiciously in the courtyard. Since I happened to see her, how could I ignore it?"
Upon hearing this...
Everyone was shocked.
A very bad premonition suddenly rose in Lu Wei's heart. Fu Junheng meant that Mu Chenshuang wanted Linglong to come to the Marquis's residence to find him.
And Chunxiao, I didn't see her when I got here.
My heart grew increasingly uneasy.
My heart was in my throat.
Feng Lian panicked, lowered her eyes, and stared at Fu Junheng. "Junheng, what do you mean by that?"
"The person is in the woodshed. As for Miss Mu's maid, I have already sent her to report to the authorities. I believe we will soon find out who framed Miss Mu and who poisoned your daughter, Aunt."
These words made Fenglian's face stiffen.
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi were even more panicked and uneasy.
No matter how much she planned, she never expected Mu Chenshuang to come to Fu Junheng's residence at this time, and even to her courtyard. She really has no shame.
Li Ming immediately ordered someone to go to the woodshed and bring the person out.
Mu Chenshuang recognized the woman at a glance; she was Chunxiao, the maid Lu Wei had arranged for her to come.
When she looked up at Lu Wei, her expression was clearly not good.
Chunxiao knelt on the ground, trembling.
At this moment.
The officials from the Kyoto government followed Linglong to her residence.
In general, when a case arises, the local government will first investigate it. Only in cases involving serious crimes will the Court of Justice intervene.
Fenglian sent Li Ming from the Court of Justice directly, clearly intending to use her power to put pressure on Mu Chenshuang.
"Now that Lord Li has arrived, why don't you continue your investigation?" Mu Chenshuang looked at Li Ming with a cold gaze.
Li Mingxin trembled violently and could only reply, "Yes."
The guards found a packet of gray powder on Chunxiao.
Li Ming took it in his hand, glanced at it, and then looked at Chunxiao kneeling on the ground, asking sternly, "What is this?"
At this moment, Chunxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened that she was completely at a loss for words and could not speak.
Lu Wei stared intently at Chunxiao and shouted sternly, "Chunxiao, Lord Li is asking you a question, didn't you hear? If you dare to lie even a single word, it won't just be you who will be harmed. You'd better tell the truth clearly. If it has nothing to do with you, you can explain everything in detail. If it has nothing to do with you, you can reveal the mastermind behind it and clear your name. Otherwise, no one can save you."
How could Chunxiao not understand the threat in Lu Wei's words? If she dared to reveal the truth, her family would be in danger. She was told to think carefully about how to answer.
