Everyone looked at Fu Junheng with astonishment and shock.
Could it be that the most esteemed Crown Prince of Xiyue Kingdom has some connection with Mu Chenshuang?
Even though Fu Junheng was not a citizen of Tianzhao Kingdom, his mother was Princess Qianlan, the most beautiful woman in Tianzhao Kingdom, and the favor he enjoyed in Tianzhao Kingdom was no less than that of Feng Xilan.
Both are crown princes, but it is already rare to find a prince like Xilan who is handsome and talented.
Prince Junheng is even more unparalleled and exceptionally intelligent. As everyone knows, Prince Junheng is one of the two disciples of Thousand Absolute Valley.
This Thousand Absolute Valley does not belong to any country. Although there are only two disciples in each generation, each disciple has the power to withstand thousands of troops.
To become a disciple of Thousand Absolute Valley is no ordinary feat.
Therefore, compared to Prince Xilan, Prince Junheng's brilliance far surpasses that of Prince Xilan.
Today, he is the focus of attention for many, and countless women are captivated by him.
"uncle."
Fu Junheng bowed and greeted him.
Feng Guche looked at him, his face darkening. "Jun Heng, what else do you have to say?"
"What I'm saying is that the person who made the appointment with the Crown Princess on the covered bridge was my nephew."
These words were spoken.
It was like a giant rock exploding on a calm surface of water.
Even though everyone had guessed it from his actions, hearing him say those words himself was still shocking.
Wasn't it rumored that Fu Junheng disliked women and had an exceptionally close relationship with the Prince of Xiaoyao?
At noon, Prince Xiaoyao repeatedly defended Mu Chenshuang, but unexpectedly, Fu Junheng came to defend her as well.
As a married crown princess who has lived in the Eastern Palace for a long time, it is reasonable to say that Prince Xiaoyao has a reason to protect Mu Chenshuang.
But what about this Crown Prince Junheng?
What exactly happened?
Everyone was completely baffled.
This infuriated the princesses and noble ladies present.
Mu Chenshuang was even more surprised and puzzled. What exactly did Fu Junheng want to do?
“If Uncle wants to know now, I can explain it to you in person, but I think it would be better to explain it to you in private.”
Fu Junheng's words made Feng Guche's expression darken slightly. "Since it's a private matter, let's talk about it later."
"yes."
This clearly shows that Mu Chenshuang will once again clear her name of suspicion.
"I wonder if Crown Prince Junheng has seen the thief who stole the Dragon Blood Ginseng? With Crown Prince Junheng's martial arts skills, catching a thief should be easy!" Qi Rong suddenly said, her voice gentle and soft, yet inquiring.
Fu Junheng looked at Qi Rong, and even through the eye bags, one could still feel the coldness in his gaze.
"I did not see any thieves."
Qi Rong chuckled and asked casually, "I wonder if you really didn't see it or are you pretending not to see it?"
"What, does Consort Rong think I'm in cahoots with thieves? It's just a thousand-year-old dragon blood ginseng. I might not even want it. And even if I did, would I need to steal it?"
His calm and even tone conveyed a chilling aura.
Only Crown Prince Junheng would dare to say such a thing, looking down on such a rare and precious item. If he really wanted it, given the Emperor's affection for his nephew, he would simply ask, why would he need to steal it?
Qi Rong's face froze instantly, and her heart trembled inexplicably.
“Consort Rong, you’re overthinking it,” Feng Guche said sternly.
Even today, when Consort Rong criticizes Prince Xiaoyao, the Emperor has not uttered a single harsh word to her.
However, when she suspected Fu Junheng, the emperor's attitude immediately changed, which shows Fu Junheng's status in the emperor's heart.
Qi Rong hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I misspoke. Please forgive me."
Feng Guche said nothing more, and looked at Qi Mingsheng sternly, asking, "Any other discoveries?"
Qi Mingsheng's expression turned tense. "We haven't found anything yet."
"You have three days to catch the thief. If you fail, you will be held responsible."
Qi Mingsheng's pupils dilated, but he dared not disobey and could only agree, "Yes!"
Qi Rong's heart also clenched.
“Your Majesty,” Jing Sha called out, “Let me say one more thing. The Dragon Blood Ginseng was stolen by a martial artist because it has two great uses. This person was willing to take such a great risk to steal the Dragon Blood Ginseng, presumably not to improve his skills, but to use it to cure rare poisons. If we can find out who in the palace was poisoned, then this person will be a prime suspect.”
