Feng Mo Ran was very pleased to see the wonderful expression of secret guilt on Zhu Qin's face, which was also the reason why he looked down on Zhu Qin from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Qin betrayed Feng Gu Che too easily, and his allegiance to her was an attempt to exchange for greater power and benefits in the future. Therefore, Feng Mo Ran could not trust him at all.
Right now, he does need Zhu Qin as a henchman to work for him, but once he eliminates those biggest and most powerful rivals who helped him ascend to the throne, he will no longer need Zhu Qin as a pawn and can easily discard him.
Feng Mo Ran slowly withdrew her gaze from Zhu Qin. Zhu Qin had also completely calmed down and understood Feng Mo Ran's words. He immediately stopped panicking about the case from back then.
"Zhu Qin, I trust you. Please sit down and speak." Feng Mo Ran raised his sharply defined chin as a gesture.
Seeing this, Zhu Qin, now relaxed, immediately nodded and sat down with a smile, recounting the events of that year to Feng Mo Ran in detail.
About fifteen minutes later, Feng Mo Ran understood completely.
Although he had guessed back then that Feng Guche was personally exerting pressure, he did not expect that so many people would be involved.
Feng Mo Ran was silent for a moment, then blurted out without hesitation, "Back then, we did exchange secret letters with the upper-level officials of Jiang State, and not a single traitor who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country was allowed to live."
These people were genuinely interested in waiting for the Jiang Kingdom to annihilate the Libei King's army before heading straight for the border of the Tianzhao Kingdom, intending to launch a coordinated attack from within and without.
If man proposes, God disposes. Before Jiang's army even reached the border of Tianzhao, it was destroyed by Xiyue. The entire country was destroyed, and Tianzhao was likely plunged into chaos and crisis.
“Of course, Zhu Qin, you can rest assured.” Feng Mo Ran pondered for a moment, then glanced up at Zhu Qin and added when he saw that he remained silent.
With Feng Mo Ran's renewed promise, Zhu Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed. Then, he fell silent with a cold expression.
Lost in thought, Feng Moran now had other plans.
Since the case of the Prince of Libei involved so many people, this was a golden opportunity for him.
If he plans properly, he can even take down those stumbling blocks in his way.
However, the most important thing is to ensure that the resources are used effectively and that no one escapes the net.
Seeing that Feng Moran hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhu Qin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Second Prince? You look so worried, is there something troubling you?"
"Reinvestigating the case of the Prince of Libei is a matter of great importance. Go back and investigate the officials who sent the secret letters, but remember, it must be done in secret and not in a big way."
Feng Mo Ran's eyes gleamed, and he said meaningfully, "After all, the case of the Prince of Libei involves so many people, and there was almost an inside job back then. This is no small matter. It is not easy to just arrest the civil officials in the court."
His words instantly made Zhu Qin's eyes light up, his expression as greedy and ferocious as a beast or demon seeing its prey and flesh.
"The Second Prince's thinking is indeed thorough. This old minister understands and will follow the Second Prince's arrangements." Zhu Qin's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty excitement and arrogance.
Feng Mo Ran was too lazy to say anything more to him, and nodded, saying, "Then Zhu Qin, you go ahead and take care of it. I will make arrangements for the rest... Take these things with you while you're at it."
