Mu Chenshuang stared intently at Feng Ji, seemingly not wanting to miss a single expression on his face.
“If this child isn’t his, would someone like Fu Junheng really be willing to become a father unintentionally?” Mu Chenshuang clearly didn’t believe Feng Ji’s words.
Feng Ji regretted bringing up the matter again, which aroused Mu Chenshuang's suspicion, and could only awkwardly laugh and say, "If it were someone else, Jun Heng definitely wouldn't be able to accept it."
“But because that person is a princess, and Crown Prince Junheng is deeply in love with you, Princess, and is willing to accept everything about you, he will naturally be willing to accept the child in your womb and treat him as his own.”
However, Feng Ji's words did not convince Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang even caught a fleeting look of panic on Feng Ji's face, which made her even more certain that her suspicions were not unfounded.
Mu Chenshuang secretly thought to herself that if she saw Fu Junheng next time, she would make sure he gave her the truth. If he lied to her or brushed her off again, she would never forgive him.
Mu Chenshuang narrowed her sharp eyes and did not press the matter further.
Instead, Feng Ji couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and took the initiative to speak again: "Princess, your timing is perfect. Someone gave me a deer leg this morning. Why don't you stay and have some with us today?"
"No, I came to ask Prince Xiaoyao, Feng Mozhan, for his opinion on reinvestigating the case of Prince Libei. I'll be leaving soon," Mu Chenshuang replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ji's smiling expression froze for a moment.
He looked down at the teacup on the table as if lost in thought, and slowly said, "Logically speaking, since Feng Mo Ran was not in the court back then, even if he started laying the groundwork in the court, it would have been impossible for him to do so so early."
"So, in fact, Feng Mo Ran has nothing to do with the case from back then. She is innocent in this matter, so it is appropriate to investigate this matter."
Mu Chenshuang didn't respond, but from his words, she knew that he still had worries and concerns.
"But now that he controls most of the power in the court, it is hard to guarantee that the ministers he is secretly contacting are not the main culprits in the case from back then."
A cold glint flashed in Feng Ji's eyes, his sharpness fully revealed. "If a criminal is someone who will be of great use to him in the future, it's not uncommon for him to protect him and secretly manipulate things to keep him safe."
Mu Chenshuang nodded. This was exactly what she was worried about, and her worries went far beyond that.
“That’s right, I share the same thoughts as the Prince of Xiaoyao.” Mu Chenshuang frowned slightly and echoed, “It is undeniable that no matter what Feng Mozhan’s purpose is, this time when he reinvestigates the case of the Prince of Libei, he will definitely find some treacherous officials to satisfy him.”
"If he is fully aware of the biggest villain behind him, yet intentionally protects him, then it naturally means that these people still have value to him."
Mu Chenshuang said sharply, "But I believe that precisely because Feng Moran had nothing to do with this matter, those he protected will also become pawns once the deed is done."
“But we can’t give him the opportunity to use these people. We must strike first and find them out in advance, so that they can pay the price for the wrongful death of the Libei King’s family back then!” Mu Chenshuang said resolutely.
Feng Ji nodded, took out a roster from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Mu Chenshuang.
“The princess is indeed a heroine among women. Great minds think alike. My thoughts are exactly the same as the princess’s. Therefore, I have been secretly investigating during this period of time.”
