Mu Chenshuang returned to the courtyard.
When Chengli saw her, he told her that Fu Junheng was waiting for her outside.
"I know you're tired today, so get some rest."
"kindness."
Mu Chenshuang went directly to the study to wait for Qiye to return. During this time, Linglong came to find her, but Mu Chenshuang told her to go and rest and not to serve her. Linglong then left the study.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, Mu Chenhuang still hadn't seen Qi Ye's figure. He began to worry, wondering if something had gone wrong.
Just as she was getting anxious, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Mu Chenshuang looked up and heard the sound of a door opening. Then Qi Ye appeared in front of her.
Upon seeing him, Mu Chenshuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you only coming back now?"
Qi Ye explained, "When we evaded the Prime Minister's mansion's pursuers, we encountered the Prince of Xiaoyao on the road. His guards caught up with us, which gave us a little time to catch up."
"And what about Shen Nanzhi's people?"
"I returned to the Prime Minister's residence without being discovered."
Mu Chenshuang's tense heart calmed down. "It's good that we weren't discovered. I hope everything goes smoothly."
"There shouldn't be any problem, no one will notice," Qi Ye reassured her.
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
"Once you're back, take a break and get some rest."
"good."
Fu Junheng had just returned to Yaoguang Residence.
Feng Ji followed.
"I thought you would stay with Princess Weiyang a little longer. You're back so soon?" Feng Ji said jokingly.
Fu Junheng took off his outer robe, turned around and saw him, his eyes calm as he ignored his words, "What's Shen Nanzhi's situation now?"
Feng Ji stepped forward, sat on the stool, picked up the teacup on the table, and replied, "The imperial physician said that the tendons and bones have been injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use my internal energy for a while. I need to rest properly. I originally planned to go and see Shen Nanzhi, but I was turned down."
"Are you doubting that he wasn't injured?"
Feng Ji took a sip of tea and put it down slowly, saying, "I'm not doubting whether he was injured or not, but this matter is too strange. Shen Nanzhi is no ordinary person, not to mention that Princess Weiyang was also present, and there were many military generals among those who came to offer their congratulations. Could it be that they couldn't even stop a few assassins? The assassins not only managed to escape unscathed, but also injured Shen Nanzhi, forcing him to stay in bed to recuperate. I'm afraid even the Chengtian Bureau doesn't have such ability."
Fu Junheng glanced at him sideways, his eyes sharpening. "So this was all a self-directed and self-acted drama."
“Shen Nanzhi’s serious injury gives His Majesty a perfect excuse, and Shen Nanzhi can also get out of this struggle for military power unscathed. So this is very likely a self-directed and self-acted drama.”
The words were spoken.
Fu Junheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and his hands behind his back clenched tighter.
“The extent of Shen Nanzhi’s injuries must be verified by the imperial physician. For Princess Weiyang, faking injuries is probably just a piece of cake.”
Such a deduction is entirely reasonable; it is clear that this assassination could not have been carried out by Shen Nan alone.
Fu Junheng thought back to what the child had said when he went to the Marquis's residence today, and he became even more certain of his suspicions.
Feng Ji stood up and stood beside him, glancing at him sideways. "If they really planned this assassination, then they will definitely have a suspect as the mastermind behind it. So there will definitely be investigation results later. We'll see who Princess Weiyang really is."
He knew Shen Nanzhi's character very well; he would never stoop to such despicable acts. Therefore, the only person who planned this assassination was Mu Chenshuang.
