”Your majesty, you can't wrongly accuse chenqie!” The Queen was trembling with rage.

No one would have thought that Consort Xuan would point the blame at the empress, but the empress had already used the voodoo Gu technique to curse at Consort Xuan. Thus, at this moment, Consort Xuan's words were somewhat believable.

— This was also the reason why Feng Qianyue finally decided to have Concubine Xuan testify against the empress and divert his gaze.

At this time, the emperor's heart had actually already deviated. He knew that as the empress, even though he was the master of the Six Palaces, his personality had changed dramatically ever since the crown prince had been crippled. Even if there was no concrete evidence to prove that the empress was the mastermind behind the plot, the points that Empress Xuan had mentioned could not rid her of her suspicions.

For a time, the atmosphere in the tent seemed to have frozen. Besides the trembling cries of Xuan Fei, no one spoke. The Emperor's expression became more and more serious …

Feng Qianyue's gaze slowly descended onto the Emperor's face, and the corners of his mouth curled into an imperceptible chuckle.

Even if there was no direct evidence to prove that the empress was the main culprit, due to the curse, father would still treat her with resentment in the future. As long as this grudge existed, life would not be easy for the empress.

When he saw Lian Ruyue kneeling on the ground, Feng Qianyue's heart lightly throbbed — —

”Your majesty, we've found the assassin!”

But at this moment, Jiang Keji's voice came from outside.

The assassin was found? Lian Fang's face revealed a happy expression. If the assassin found her, then her sister's grievances could be washed away!

When two guards brought in an injured black clothed man, the expression on Feng Qianyue's face flashed as he suddenly looked towards Feng Yunzheng, but he discovered that Feng Yunzheng's expression was still as calm as before — —

Feng Qianyue didn't understand. Why was it that he didn't grab the assassin to wash away Lian Ru Yue's grievance and casually ask for credit from royal father, instead, it was royal father's men who personally captured the assassin? Could it be that Feng Yunzheng had other plans?

He once again looked at Lian Ruyue. On her face, there was only the excitement of the assassin about to be cleansed when he was caught, and she even happily looked at Lian Meng once again.

The moment Consort Xuan saw the left wing, she secretly clutched at her clothes with both hands as her face became even paler. She thought that Feng Qianyue would be able to catch her and kill her, but she didn't expect that the emperor would still find her first.

What do we do now? She couldn't help but glance at Feng Qianyue, but Feng Qianyue didn't look at her, as if he was rapidly pondering something in his mind.

”In front of the emperor, hurry up and kneel down!” Jiang Keji pressed down on the assassin's shoulder, pressing him down onto the ground.

Left-wing dropped to his knees right next to Lian Rue.

”Insolent traitor, how dare you stab right under my nose! Tell me!” the Emperor asked sternly as he sat upright in a wide chair.

”No one is ordering me.” Left wing coldly looked at Zhou Chengdi and said word by word.

Only after hearing the left wing's answer did Feng Qianyue and Xuanyuan Fei simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

”How bold! How dare he look down on His Majesty. His crimes are unforgivable. Someone come, drag him out and execute him!” Jiang Keji saw that this assassin was not only fearless in front of the Emperor, but also haughty and disrespectful.

”…” However, the emperor signaled the guards to retreat. Then, he stood up and walked towards the assassin.

”Your Majesty …” Jiang Keji called out.

The emperor raised his hand, and Jiang Keji took a step back.

”You seem to hate me? ”Why?” The emperor looked straight into the assassin's eyes. It was obvious that the assassin was panicking. Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as panic flashed across his eyes — —

Suddenly!

His eyes reddened as he tried to break free. His hands, which were tied behind his back, were suddenly loosened. His hands were covered in blood. There was a small blade in his hands. He had been quietly cutting the rope when he was tied up.
