Xiao Qingyu arrived at Chang Le Palace.
"Princess."
Feng Anxue put down her teacup and looked at Xiao Qingyu. "Qingyu, I have something to ask you today, and I hope you will tell me everything without missing a single word."
Seeing Feng Anxue's serious expression, Xiao Qingyu felt a pang of fear, but she maintained her composure and smiled, saying, "I wonder what the princess wants to ask? If I know, I will certainly tell the princess without reservation."
Feng Anxue asked directly, "I'm asking you, during last year's Mid-Winter Lantern Festival, did the Mu family's illegitimate daughter invite Mu Chenshuang to enjoy the lanterns together?"
Feng Anxue's words surprised Xiao Qingyu. For a moment, she didn't understand how Feng Anxue knew about this matter, and what she meant by suddenly asking her about it now.
Since Feng Anxue asked this, she naturally couldn't deny it. "Indeed, I wonder why the princess suddenly asked this?"
Feng Anxue continued, "Qingyu, did you conspire with her to drug Mu Chenshuang in an attempt to tarnish her reputation?"
These words filled Xiao Qingyu with fear and unease. Although she didn't know how she knew about this, she knew that she would never stand up for Mu Chenshuang.
As expected, Feng Anxue's next words instantly put her at ease.
"I only want to know whether Mu Chenshuang's innocence was violated at that time?" Feng Anxue asked, her eyes revealing a chilling intent.
Xiao Qingyu seemed to vaguely understand something; she was definitely using this incident to get revenge on Mu Chenshuang.
Instantly.
Her heart calmed down, and she said frankly, "When Mu Chengshuang drank that cup of wine, the drug was an aphrodisiac that Mu Yazhi specially bought from a Persian merchant. This drug was extracted from a love potion and was extremely potent. In order to prove it, the Persian merchant injected a small dose of the aphrodisiac into a female dog. The female dog went into heat within half an hour after drinking it. Because it was not relieved in time, it ran into a wall and died. So the drug must have no problem."
But when we entered the room, we didn't see anyone. The next day, when we asked Mu Chenshuang, she said she didn't know anything, that she had just slept all night. But it's impossible for her to have simply slept through the night after taking that medicine. What exactly happened that night, I have no idea.
Upon hearing Xiao Qingyu's reply, Feng Anxue's eyes darkened.
"In my opinion, Mu Chenshuang's innocence was probably lost that night."
"I also have the same suspicion. Now that Mu Chenshuang has divorced the Crown Prince, so much time has passed, and I haven't paid much attention to it. But if the princess wants to use this matter to plot against Mu Chenshuang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
After all, there is no evidence, and it happened last year.
The words were spoken.
Feng Anxue smiled sinisterly, looked at Xiao Qingyu, and said, "Mu Chenshuang is pregnant."
These words were spoken.
Xiao Qingyu's pupils widened, her eyes filled with shock, and she asked incredulously, "Mu Chenshuang is really pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Anxue countered, "You seem to suspect she's pregnant?"
Xiao Qingyu explained, "At His Majesty's birthday banquet, the Southern Border Princess's maid said that she was pregnant. Although it was not confirmed at the time, and we don't know how she managed to deceive Luo Yan, I had my suspicions at that time. I was sure that Mu Chenshuang had already made love with someone that night."
Madam Lu had been investigating, but Mu Chenshuang was deliberately wary of her, not allowing Madam Lu's people any chance to approach her inner courtyard. If she hadn't done something wrong, why would she be so cautious? Therefore, having found no solid evidence, she gave up trying to confirm whether she was truly pregnant. Princess, why are you so certain she is?
Feng Anxue didn't explain further, "You don't need to know how I know. Before you're fully prepared, you mustn't reveal this matter."
Xiao Qingyu's lips curled into a cold smile; she naturally understood.
"I know, so what plan have you come up with, Princess?"
It's obvious that Feng Anxue wants to use this incident to ruin Mu Chenshuang's reputation, and more importantly, she definitely wants Fu Junheng to know that she is now a tainted woman.
"Not yet, but I'll contact you if I need anything."
"Princess, please give your orders."
Xiao Qingyu then left Chang Le Palace.
“Princess, it seems that the child in Princess Weiyang’s belly is very likely the child of a wild man,” Lu Hua said to Feng Anxue.
Feng Anxue raised her hand, and Lu Hua bent down to help her stand up. She slowly walked forward, looking straight ahead, and said indifferently, "As long as it's not Crown Prince Junheng."
"Crown Prince Junheng is a figure surrounded by admirers, noble and extraordinary. A born king would not easily indulge in debauchery with a woman. I wonder what kind of bewitching magic Princess Weiyang used to make Crown Prince Junheng care so much about her. If Crown Prince Junheng knew that Princess Weiyang was having an affair with another man, he would definitely despise her to the extreme."
Lu Hua's words instantly improved Feng Anxue's mood considerably. Upon careful consideration, she realized that the child could not possibly be her cousin Junheng's.
“But there’s one more thing.” Lu Hua suddenly thought of something.
