Fu Junheng strode in, his black boots clattering down his heels. With each step, he exuded an overwhelming aura of pressure, the oppressive atmosphere making it difficult to breathe.
When Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi saw Fu Junheng arrive, their nerves tightened. Could it be that Mu Chenshuang wasn't with him?
Fu Junheng's icy gaze swept over the two of them.
The two clearly sensed the icy gaze, and with just one glance, their hearts tightened, and their bodies trembled as if frozen.
A gust of wind swept past them, and the intense pressure made them afraid to look him in the eye. They quickly nodded and lowered their heads, their hearts filled with panic.
Fu Junheng passed the two men and walked up to Feng Guche, bowing and saying, "Nephew greets Uncle."
Even while paying homage, his innate noble and kingly aura made him appear no less inferior to Feng Guche.
Feng Guche looked at Fu Junheng and reached out to lift his hand. "Junheng, there's no need for such formalities." He then asked, "Isn't Princess Weiyang at your residence?"
Fu Junheng looked at Feng Guche and replied coldly, "Princess Weiyang is not at my residence today. As for before, I invited Princess Weiyang to come here because I had something important to ask her to help with. I never expected it to become what Consort Rong called a secret rendezvous."
His cold gaze fell on Consort Rong, who shuddered in fright, her face filled with fear. No matter how much His Majesty favored her, he would never protect her in front of Fu Junheng.
"Your Majesty, I misspoke in my haste just now. I hope Your Majesty and Crown Prince Junheng will forgive me."
Consort Rong knelt on the ground, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.
"You think you can cover up your crimes with just a slip of the tongue? Does Consort Rong really think I'm so easy to slander?"
The icy, chilling voice was like an ice sword piercing her heart. Consort Rong's shoulders trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.
Feng Guche frowned as he looked at Consort Rong kneeling on the ground. Seeing the panic on her beautiful face, he couldn't bear it and finally said, "Consort Rong's words were inappropriate. She shall be confined to Shaohua Palace and reflect on her mistakes for a month."
Being punished in front of everyone, Consort Rong was unwilling, but she could not defend herself.
Upon closer reflection, it was merely a house arrest; His Majesty could lift the ban at any time if he was pleased. Thinking of this, Consort Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Junheng lowered his eyes and stared at Consort Rong kneeling on the ground, his gaze turning cold.
Feng Guche asked, "So, Shen Shuang isn't at your residence today?"
Fu Junheng replied, "He's not here."
Feng Guche's eyes darkened, and he ordered, "Li Tong, go to the Marquis's residence."
"yes!"
Seeing this, Fu Junheng did not stop him.
Everyone was waiting outside, and Fu Junheng's presence created an oppressive atmosphere that weighed heavily on them.
Those who had just been fiercely discussing Mu Chenshuang and smearing him dared not utter a sound.
Mu Yazhi originally wanted to add fuel to the fire, but it no longer mattered. Even if Crown Prince Junheng protected Mu Chenshuang, and she obstructed the physician from treating the Empress Dowager, His Majesty would not let her off easily.
At this moment.
Granny Qing came out, with Doctor Li beside her.
When Mu Yazhi saw Doctor Li come out, her joy was written all over her face, and her eyes shone brightly.
Judging from Doctor Li's expression, she knew he must have cured the Empress Dowager. She would soon receive the Emperor's reward and become someone everyone admired and looked up to.
Mu Chenshuang, you just wait to be trampled into the mud.
The more I think about it...
Mu Yazhi's expression revealed barely suppressed excitement and arrogance.
Lu Wei could see her joy, so she reached out and patted her hand, signaling her to keep a low profile for now.
Mu Yazhi then realized that she had been too obvious and quickly composed herself.
But before the smile on her lips could completely fade, when she saw the figure slowly appearing behind Doctor Li, her lips froze, her expression filled with astonishment, and she stood there stunned as if struck by lightning.
