Sitting quietly, Mu Chenshuang looked up at Feng Ji. Feng Ji's face was calm and composed, seemingly unaffected. She knew that Feng Ji had already made arrangements and there was no need for her to worry.
Mu Chenshuang turned her gaze back to Prime Minister Shen, who stepped forward with a serious expression and met Zhu Qin's challenging gaze, saying, "What's so difficult about that? Even if we can't trace the origin of these letters, we can simply arrest Song Jiang!"
"Wouldn't it be easy to confront them face-to-face, compare the handwriting, and find out the authenticity of these secret letters?" Prime Minister Shen completely disregarded Zhu Qin.
Feng Guche frowned deeply, staring at Prime Minister Shen with displeasure. The Empress Dowager, however, was quite pleased to hear this.
"Alright, then arrest Song Jiang immediately."
Since Song Jiang was not among the invited guests at the birthday banquet, Zhu Qin frowned and immediately asked Feng Guche, "Your Majesty, I will order someone to bring Song Jiang here immediately."
Feng Guche nodded. Before Zhu Qin, who had other plans in mind, could turn around, Feng Ji suddenly stood up.
The wind that blew by lifted Feng Ji's robes, revealing a coldness on his handsome face that seemed to be a mixture of sadness and resentment, yet also sent chills down one's spine.
"I shall go and bring this man here. No matter what, Song Jiang is a member of the Imperial Observatory. Lord Zhu has been handling cases for many years. Does he not understand the principle of avoiding taboos? Why is he in such a hurry to bring Song Jiang here? Could it be that he wants to confess something first?"
Feng Ji's gaze was sharp, as cold as a blade tempered with ice, and his voice carried a chilling power, "Or is it that Lord Zhu is also involved in this matter and is eager to collude on testimonies to protect himself?"
"You carefree prince!" Zhu Qin's imposing manner was completely suppressed by Feng Ji. Enraged and humiliated, yet unable to find a rebuttal, he pointed at Feng Ji and began to curse, "You're slandering me..."
"Insolence!" The Empress Dowager frowned in displeasure and stopped Zhu Qin from speaking.
Zhu Qin snapped out of his daze and quickly looked up. He saw that the Empress Dowager and Feng Guche were both looking at him with dark faces and displeasure. Only then did he realize that he had indeed made a mistake in his haste.
Although Zhu Qin was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to admit it after suppressing his emotions. "What the Prince of Xiaoyao says is true. I was just too eager to verify the authenticity of these letters, which is why I neglected my duty for a moment."
"Alright." Feng Guche impatiently interrupted Zhu Qin. Since things had come to this point, and everyone was watching, he had no choice but to agree to Feng Ji's request to arrest the person.
"You may go, Prince Xiaoyao." Feng Guche narrowed his eyes. He often felt powerless and helpless when it came to his son, Feng Ji.
Although Feng Ji had no interest in power, he knew that his strength was not to be underestimated, and the case of the Prince of Libei was practically his Achilles' heel. If he had the opportunity to overturn the case for the Prince of Libei, Feng Ji would definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Feng Guche's mind.
He suspected that the anonymous letter sent to the Empress Dowager was Feng Ji's work, and only he could have done such a thing.
Thinking of this, Feng Guche's heart trembled violently, and he quickly looked up in the direction Feng Ji had left.
If Feng Ji really did this, then where did these secret letters come from?
The former Jiang Kingdom, now Jiang City, is part of the Western Moon Kingdom, under the jurisdiction of Fu Junheng!
These thoughts flashed through Feng Guche's mind, his face darkened, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.
