Mu Chenshuang calmly retorted, "As a professional assassin, with the determination to die, punishment is undoubtedly the best and fastest way for him. Now it is not only a matter of my daughter's innocence, but also of the Empress Dowager. So if we want him to tell the truth, we should use the fastest and most effective method."
Feng Anxue stared intently at Mu Chenshuang, as if she wanted to say something.
The Empress interrupted, saying, "Since Princess Weiyang has a solution, Your Majesty, why don't you let her give it a try?"
Feng Guche glanced at Mu Chenshuang, "In that case, Princess Weiyang, please give it a try."
"yes."
Upon hearing her father's words, Feng Anxue's heart leaped into her throat, but she had no way to refute him further, as doing so would only deepen his suspicions.
She could only watch helplessly as Mu Chenshuang walked up to the assassin.
The guard grabbed him by the back of his collar and made him stand up.
The assassin stared warily at Mu Chen Shuang, his breathing unsteady, but his eyes were resolute. "I won't say anything."
Mu Chenshuang looked at the black-clad assassin without changing her expression and said calmly, "It's fine if you don't say anything now, but we don't know if you will later."
The assassin met Mu Chenshuang's eyes and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. His eyes trembled uncontrollably, and his heart felt as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
Mu Chenshuang quickly reached out and pressed acupoints on the man's body.
Instantly.
The assassin was unable to move.
Mu Chenshuang took out a jade pendant from her bosom and placed it in front of the assassin.
The jade pendant swayed back and forth in front of the assassin.
At this moment, he had no idea what Mu Chenshuang wanted to do. His eyes tried to look away, but they were fixed in place by some invisible force and he could not look away at all. He could only stare at the jade pendant swaying in front of him. His consciousness began to blur and his brain nerves were gradually controlled.
The hall was completely silent, with everyone staring intently at Mu Chenshuang's every move.
Suddenly.
The assassin suddenly lost consciousness and nodded.
However, after only a moment, the assassin slowly raised his head, but his eyes no longer held the ferocity and determination they had before; they were empty, like a puppet that could be controlled by its master.
Everyone was amazed by what they saw.
Mu Chenshuang put down the jade pendant and asked, "Who exactly arranged for you to enter the palace?"
Her calm voice seemed to possess a magical power, entering the assassin's mind.
With his mouth agape, he replied in a wooden voice, "I don't know, we'll just follow orders."
Mu Chenshuang then asked, "Then who is your master?"
Just as the assassin was about to answer, his expression suddenly changed, his chest heaved, blood spilled directly from his mouth, and blood gradually seeped from the corners of his eyes.
Mu Chenshuang's pupils dilated, and she tried to check, but it was too late; the assassin lost consciousness in an instant.
As soon as the guard let go, the assassin fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled.
Ji Luoyan stepped forward to check on the assassin's condition and then reported, "Your Majesty, this person has died suddenly."
"He was perfectly fine just now, how could he suddenly die?"
Ji Luoyan explained, "This person has another kind of poison in his body. The poison he just swallowed is mixed with the original poison in his body, so his body can't hold on for long."
The Empress exclaimed in astonishment, "So, there really are assassins in this palace?"
Cang Xixue added, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, the palace probably needs a thorough investigation."
Feng Guche's face was somber, his brows furrowed with extreme displeasure. After all, the fact that an assassin had appeared in the palace without the Imperial Guards noticing meant that there was another thief within the palace.
This is undoubtedly the most intolerable thing for an emperor.
"Father, this matter is of utmost importance. The Imperial Guards have been guarding the area for so many years without any abnormalities. The appearance of an assassin today inevitably raises suspicions. I am curious about what kind of magic Princess Weiyang used just now?"
Feng Anxue steered the conversation back to Mu Chenshuang.
The assassin's reaction was indeed shocking, but in the blink of an eye, he had completely killed someone.
Feng Guche was indeed puzzled and asked, "Does Princess Weiyang have any explanation?"
"Your Majesty, this is a kind of incantation technique, which can temporarily make a person lose the consciousness that they originally wanted to hide."
Feng Anxue smiled disdainfully, "I never expected that Princess Weiyang, who only knows how to wield swords and spears, would also know such a magical technique. So how many unknown things are there about Princess Weiyang?"
Mu Chenshuang met Feng Anxue's cold gaze: "Your Highness, there will be plenty of time to understand my curiosity later. Whatever Your Highness wants to know, I will tell you. Right now, the most important thing is to find out the origin of the assassin."
