Lu Wei's expression grew increasingly serious. She strode forward and angrily demanded, "Who put this on you? Or were you the one who drugged you?"
His tone was angry, but it was clear he was intentionally giving him a hint.
The guard clearly understood and said nervously, "Madam, I don't know what this is or why it's on me. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to drug you, Miss."
Lu Wei frowned and said seriously, "I doubt you have the guts."
As she spoke, she looked at Mu Chenshuang and said, "Shuang'er, the guards of the Marquis's mansion have always been strict with their rules. Besides, he has no opportunity to come into contact with the inner courtyard, so it is impossible for him to have drugged her."
Mu Chenshuang sneered, "When did I say he was the one who drugged him? It's you who are so eager to exonerate him, which only makes it seem like you're trying to cover up the truth."
Lu Wei felt a surge of hatred in her heart. Mu Chenshuang's words just now clearly implied that the guard was the one who drugged her, setting a trap for her to fall into.
She panicked and fell into this vile woman's trap.
“Although I’m anxious to find the murderer who killed Ya’er, I’m not so irrational as to convict him based solely on a bottle of medicine found on him. In my opinion, your bodyguard is incredibly skilled in martial arts; no one could have seen how he searched him. He had the opportunity to put the medicine on the guard, not to mention…”
Lu Wei paused, looking at Mu Chenshuang with a cold expression, and said, "Shuang'er, the guard you brought back has not been registered with the Marquis's residence and his identity is unknown. I have every reason to suspect that he deliberately put the medicine on the guard to frame him."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang gave a cold laugh, but before she could speak...
A deep voice spoke up: "I didn't even realize that Princess Weiyang's guards had put the medicine on him. Madam Lu just said that she was clear-headed, but now she's framing someone based on her own guess. It seems more like she did it on purpose."
Fu Junheng's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Lu Wei. How could she dare to refute the first half of Fu Junheng's explanation?
She was so focused on leaving Mu Chenshuang speechless that she momentarily forgot about Fu Junheng's existence.
I thought that even if Fu Junheng was indifferent, he would still give Feng Anxue enough face.
Just now, Feng Anxue had clearly stood on her side, but because of Fu Junheng's words, Feng Anxue didn't dare to say another word.
Now, facing Fu Junheng's interrogation, she trembled and didn't know how to refute him.
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down.
“Your Highness, the real culprit is still unknown. Anyone who is suspected must be suspected. The guard is from my household, so I know him well. Since Your Highness says he did not deliberately put the drug on the guard, the suspicion is naturally cleared. I have no reason to doubt him anymore. I will take this guard back for a thorough interrogation.”
Lu Wei argued, then ordered, "Someone, take him away and keep him under strict guard."
They were eager to take the person away.
Mu Chenshuang watched indifferently and did not stop it.
"It seems I misunderstood today. I will go down and interrogate them properly."
Lu Wei bowed to Feng Anxue and Fu Junheng to take his leave, and after leaving with his guards, the courtyard became much quieter.
Mu Chenshuang turned to look at Fu Junheng and said calmly, "If Crown Prince Junheng has nothing else to do, please go back first. It is not convenient for me to entertain you two any further."
After saying that.
Mu Chenshuang gave a slight curtsy, strode away, and went back inside to close the door.
Fu Junheng stood still, his expression cold and aloof.
Feng Anxue stood aside with lingering fear, looking up at Fu Junheng. He was usually so emotionless, but at this moment she saw a hint of helplessness on his face. She couldn't believe it. Was it just her imagination?
When she tried to confirm again, he reverted to his usual cold and distant demeanor.
Feng Anxue mustered her courage and called out, "Cousin Junheng."
