Feng Wu frowned.
“Did you lock your brother up?” Emperor Wu shouted at her.
Empress Dugu was with him. It seemed that Emperor Wu had arrived so quickly because he had received the news from his wife.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
As the ruler of the empire, shouldn’t Emperor Wu have better judgement than this? Why couldn’t he keep out of it?
However, the emperor didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
He pointed at Feng Wu and shouted, “Jun Linyuan, is it true that you locked up your brother?!”
Feng Wu stole a glance at Jun Linyuan.
After all, it was the royal family’s business, and she couldn’t make reckless decisions.
Jun Linyuan gave her a nod, which meant that she could do whatever she wanted.
Feng Wu’s eyes widened. Really? Could she really do whatever she wanted?
Jun Linyuan nodded a little before closing his eyes and going back to his cultivation.
He had reached the critical point and couldn’t afford to be disturbed.
Meanwhile, Emperor Wu was lashing out at Feng Wu.
“Jun Linyuan! Have you forgotten what I said? The first one to solve the case can have the ring. And what did you do? You locked up your brother! You!”
Emperor Wu looked like he was going to pass out with rage.
Seeing this, Empress Dugu rushed over and steadied Emperor Wu. She cried out, “Your Majesty, are you alright? Your Majesty!”
While supporting Emperor Wu, Empress Dugu turned to Feng Wu and said, “Your Royal Highness, you’ve upset your father! What if something happens to His Majesty?!”
Feng Wu thought about it and decided that the real Jun Linyuan would ignore the empress.
She needed to mimic Jun Linyuan now.
Therefore, she put her hands behind her back and looked very proud.
Emperor Wu pushed Empress Dugu away. He walked up to Jun Linyuan and shouted, “You defiant son!”
However, Feng Wu cut him off before he could go on.
“Father, my brother didn’t tell you why he was locked up, did he?”
Empress Dugu tried to intervene. “Your Royal Highness, you have no right to…”
Feng Wu waved her off. “If Empress Dugu knows why I locked up my brother, she probably wouldn’t have urged my father to create such a scene.”
Such a scene? Emperor Wu was furious.
It sounded as if he was making a fool of himself. He was the ruler of this empire!
If… If that person were here, would Jun Linyuan do this? That thought frustrated Emperor Wu even more.
Feng Wu shook her head and said, “Jun Linshen killed a man.”
Jun Linshen was the second prince’s name.
Emperor Wu smirked. “You sound as if you haven’t taken lives before.”
Feng Wu smiled. “He killed a spy to shut him up.”
The emperor stared at her. “What?!”
Empress Dugu glared at her. “That’s a lie!”
Feng Wu said, “Actually, he’s killed more than one spy.”
Jun Linshen was brought back, and with his parents’ support, he shouted, “I killed the spies? Says who?! Can you prove that Lord Wu was a spy?!”
Feng Wu smiled at him. “So… Are you admitting that Lord Wu worked for you?”
