"He really does what he says."
Fu Junheng said he would make her leave Chengtianjian today, and he really did make her leave today.
The two left the Chengtianjian.
Mu Chenshuang spotted Shen Nanzhi waiting outside the gate at a glance.
Shen Nanzhi originally went to Chengtianjian to see Mu Chenshuang, but happened to run into Feng Ji, who told him to just wait there.
Upon seeing the two who had emerged, Shen Nanzhi strode up to Mu Chenshuang and asked with concern, "Shuang'er, are you hurt anywhere?"
Mu Chenshuang reassured her, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
Shen Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
After saying that.
He turned to look at Feng Ji, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Prince Xiaoyao."
Feng Ji smiled faintly, "It was nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
The two watched Feng Ji leave.
Shen Nanzhi withdrew his gaze, looked at Mu Chenshuang, and asked, "Has the murderer been found?"
Mu Chenshuang walked forward, "Let's wait for the results of the Chengtianjian investigation."
She didn't intend to explain too much to Shen Nanzhi, after all, the real mastermind was someone in the palace. Moreover, she had now completely clashed with the Chengtianjian, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. She didn't want to involve Shen Nanzhi.
"His Majesty learned of this matter this morning and summoned Zhu Qin to the palace. Zhu Qin insisted on investigating the case. Judging from Zhu Qin's attitude, I thought he would not close the case easily. I did not expect that the case would be resolved so easily as soon as the Prince of Xiaoyao arrived."
Shen Nanzhi had doubts, but he knew in his heart that the one who was helping Shuang'er was definitely not the Prince of Xiaoyao himself. He suddenly felt a strong sense of disappointment, as he had not been able to help at all.
Mu Chenshuang didn't explain much, only saying, "Indeed, the Prince of Xiaoyao helped a lot, so I owe him a favor. However, this time Zhu Qin brought it upon himself."
The Emperor agreed to let him take the case, which suggests that he had interpreted the situation as serious, hitting the Emperor's sweet spot. Therefore, Zhu Qin must provide the Emperor with a reasonable explanation.
It remains to be seen whether he will continue his investigation to find the real culprit or try to deceive the emperor in some other way.
“In that case, Zhu Qin will definitely hold a grudge against you, and I’m afraid he’ll secretly sabotage and frame you.” This is also what he’s very worried about.
Mu Chenshuang said with a relaxed expression, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Shen Nanzhi suddenly stopped.
Mu Chenshuang paused, startled, and turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
Shen Nanzhi reached out and took Mu Chenshuang's hand, looking at the woman before him with deep and tender eyes, and firmly vowed, "I will definitely protect Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "I know." Then, she changed the subject, "I didn't rest well last night and want to go back to the manor to sleep for a while."
Shen Nanzhi lowered his hand. "I'll see you off."
"kindness."
Inside the Chengtianjian (Imperial Academy).
Zhu Qin stood with his hands behind his back by the window, his expression unusually somber and solemn.
At this moment.
Jiang Mingzhi strode in, stopped behind Zhu Qin, and respectfully greeted, "Sir."
"How is it?"
Jiang Mingzhi lowered his hand and explained, "She said she was ambushed this morning, which caused her meridians to become disordered. She has now recovered, so it must have been someone who precisely attacked her meridians and acupoints, creating a temporary illusion. But when did Princess Weiyang set up this scheme?"
After being taken away from the Marquis's residence, she was followed by people the whole time, and she had no chance to come into contact with anyone else.
Suddenly.
Suddenly realizing something, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that time?"
Zhu Qin said in a deep voice, "Shen Nanzhi called you away, and Mu Chenshuang is out of your sight."
"But my subordinates had people follow Princess Weiyang and found nothing unusual."
Zhu Qin lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the letter on the desk. Now, it didn't matter what method Mu Chenshuang had used.
He picked up the envelope and suddenly asked, "Has there been any unusual activity between Crown Prince Junheng and Prince Xiaoyao lately?"
Jiang Mingzhi replied, "No abnormalities have been found. Crown Prince Junheng rarely leaves his residence, and Prince Xiaoyao has not had any contact with officials. Apart from Princess Weiyang visiting Yaoguang Residence, no one else has entered."
What they observed was that Fu Junheng and Feng Ji had never met with anyone else alone. At most, they would drink together and listen to opera, but there was nothing else unusual.
Zhu Qin gripped the envelope in his hand, his hawk-like eyes gleaming with cold light.
moment.
All I heard was his cold command, "Send more men to secretly observe their every move. I want every detail to be meticulous."
Jiang Mingzhi received the order and replied, "Yes."
"Then... how should we handle the matter of Prince Wei?"
Jiang Mingzhi asked cautiously.
He could clearly sense the terrifying malevolence emanating from the chief, and he rarely saw the chief with such a somber expression.
Being defeated by Princess Weiyang twice in a row is a great humiliation for the Chief Inspector and the Chengtianjian, which has shaken the prestige of the Chengtianjian.
Zhu Qin's face darkened.
He naturally didn't need to be so idle as to give an explanation to the Prince of Wei's mansion, but Mu Chenshuang had been released without charge, and now he had to give an explanation to the Emperor.
He will make them pay for today's humiliation one day.
The words were spoken.
With a forceful pull, a surge of internal energy erupted, causing the decorations in the room to sway precariously, and the envelope he was holding instantly turned to dust.
