CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 77: NO ONE EVER TRULY BELIEVED FENG QIWU AND HER

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Bai quickly waved his hand and said, "What does this have to do with His Majesty’s teaching? As an Imperial Tutor, I have personally guided the Third Prince, haven’t I? Moreover, the Third Prince used to conduct himself gently and was a person of integrity and propriety. Who could have thought he would do such a thing?"

"Indeed, I didn’t expect him to suddenly turn out like this!" Feng Qingyang sighed heavily, his expression grim.

Yet in his heart, he wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, he himself had once had to endure countless forms of disguise and ruthlessness for the throne.

The third prince used to hide it well.

Too bad this time, in order to gain Prime Minister Bai’s support, he risked everything to plot against Bai Susu.

If he had succeeded, it would have been one thing, but he failed and revealed his true nature.

Truly foolish.

With this capacity, he wishes to vie for the throne? Overthrow the Crown Prince?

Ha!

...

Feng Qiwu and the other two quickly arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

As soon as they entered, Feng Qingyang fiercely hurled the memorials on the table directly at Feng Wuchen’s face.

Feng Wuchen was startled, but he forcibly restrained the urge to dodge, allowing the sharp corner of the memorials to cut his forehead.

"Get down on your knees before me! You beast, do you know your crime?" Feng Qingyang shouted at Feng Wuchen.

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen quickly knelt down, with a look of panic and confusion, "Father, what fault have I committed?"

"You still deny it? Your plot against Bai Susu has been thoroughly investigated—see for yourself!" Feng Qingyang sneered.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen immediately took the memorial presented by Xia Ziyang and began to read it quickly.

When he discovered that someone had drugged Drunken Beauty in his private room, he finally understood why he had been caught off guard.

In an instant, Feng Wuchen cried out his innocence, "Father, please discern clearly! I swear on my life I never did such a thing! As for Drunken Beauty, I have no knowledge of it!"

He truly didn’t know.

For his initial plan was to tamper with the tea.

Though the fragrance is effective, its wide spread could easily lead to accidental self-damage.

Yet he never imagined someone would light Drunken Beauty in the private room!

...

Seeing Feng Wuchen’s genuine expression, Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"Commander Xia’s investigation is crystal clear, and you still dare to deny it?"

Feng Wuchen, however, shook his head frantically, "Father, even if I’m accused, if I truly intended to assault Miss Bai, why would I foolishly use Drunken Beauty with so many other options?"

At that point, I’d be limp all over; how could I commit such an act?

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang looked towards Xia Ziyang.

Xia Ziyang responded with a cupped fist, "This minor subject is also unclear on the specifics, but I can confirm that the testimonies are all true."

Hearing this, Feng Qingyang’s expression turned cold again.

Seeing this, Feng Wuchen’s heart sank deeply.

In the next moment, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he feigned hopelessness and helplessness as he said, "Fine, since Father doesn’t believe me, I shall prove my innocence with death!"

With that, he aggressively snatched the sword from Xia Ziyang’s waist and slashed it towards his own neck.

However, thanks to Xia Ziyang’s quick reaction, the sword only left a blood mark on Feng Wuchen’s neck.

In an instant, the entire Imperial Study Room fell into dead silence.

And Feng Qingyang had not expected Feng Wuchen to attempt suicide suddenly. In the next moment, he erupted in fury, "What are you standing around for? Summon the Imperial Physician!"
