At that thought, Feng Wu let go of Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu let go of Jun Linyuan as well.
Feng Wu tugged at Jun Linyuan’s sleeve, trying to give him a hint that it was time for her to take over.
Jun Linyuan took the hint and let her do the rest.
Thump!
Without warning, Jun Linyuan dropped his sister.
Caught off guard, Jun Wuxia fell on her bottom, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
Before she realized it, Feng Wu was by her side. “Jun Wuxia, did you really see Feng Wu kill Zuo Qingyu?”
Jun Wuxia gasped for air. For a moment, she thought she was going to die.
But before she could breathe normally, her “brother” was questioning her.
That was the longest sentence “he” had ever said to her.
Therefore, Jun Wuxia was frightened once more.
She knew that the crown prince was on Feng Wu’s side, which made her want to cry, but she was too scared to cry…
“Speak!” Feng Wu stared at her.
Jun Linyuan’s grim face was one of the scariest images in Jun Wuxia’s memory, and that fear hadn’t faded as she grew older.
“I…” Jun Wuxia didn’t dare stall. She rubbed her neck and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes… I saw Feng Wu kill Zuo Qingyu with my own eyes. I’m not lying!”
No one knew that better than Feng Wu.
She looked around and saw that more and more people had arrived.
Master Dugu, Master Zuo, and Lord Mu were all here. Even the empress dowager was here.
With them looking on, Feng Wu would never admit that she was the one who killed Zuo Qingyu. She needed to exonerate herself.
Only four people were there. Zuo Qingyu was dead, and Qiuling was on her side. All she needed to do was prove that Jun Wuxia was lying.
Feng Wu racked her brain. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
She stared at Jun Wuxia. “What did Zuo Qingyu or you do to make Feng Wu want to kill you?”
Feng Wu knew that given Jun Wuxia’s personality, she would try to completely absolve herself.
She would never admit that they had wanted to kill Qiuling.
And that was the trap Feng Wu set for Jun Wuxia.
She was right!
As Feng Wu expected, Jun Wuxia did exactly that. She shrugged and said innocently, “I didn’t do anything. I don’t know why Feng Wu was mad at us.”
Feng Wu smiled. “If that’s true, then why did she want to kill you?”
Jun Wuxia said, “Feng Wu and Zuo Qingyu had grudges against each other. When Feng Wu found an opportunity in the tombs, of course, she would grab it.”
Feng Wu frowned. “Are you sure that you did nothing wrong?”
Jun Wuxia gave Jun Linyuan a terrified glance.
