After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 448 Inside Story

Even so, what could possibly be the connection between the two?

Chun Jiao had naturally read all the information on it.

I couldn't see anything different about it.

Seeing that Chun Jiao still didn't understand, Wu Weiwei simply stopped teasing her.

"Alright! I won't say any more. You just need to know that Liu Tianxiang is a relative of Liu Shuning..."

"relative?"

Chun Jiao exclaimed in surprise.

How can this be?

Seeing Chun Jiao's surprise, Wu Weiwei didn't offer much explanation.

After all, she couldn't reveal the bizarre fact that He Yuyan had been reborn into Liu Shuning's body.

"Don't be surprised, he really is Liu Shuning's uncle..."

To be precise, Liu Tianxiang should be He Yuyan's mother's younger brother.

This was recorded in a small booklet that the Marquis's wife gave her when she entered the Marquis's mansion.

So when she saw the name Liu Tianxiang a few days ago, she felt that the name was unusually familiar.

Furthermore, with Qingzhu ultimately being betrayed in the story, Wu Weiwei, combined with these numerous events, confirms that Liu Tianxiang is definitely up to something.

They are the same person.

Furthermore, as Chen Dazhuang mentioned a couple of days ago, Liu Tianxiang betrayed the Dongzhe tribe and led his soldiers to surrender to Qingzhu, all for the sake of this final victory.

Of course, Yin Chuan's claim that he contributed advanced iron smelting technology to Qingwu Kingdom was likely provided to him secretly by Liu Shuning, and not because he actually knew divination or could invent things.

The mastermind behind all of this is He Yuyan, who is now inhabiting Liu Shuning's body.

Therefore, in addition to dealing with the local indigenous people who do not obey her rule, she also needs to uproot He Yuyan, the hidden hand in the shadows.

Now that we know that all of this was orchestrated by Liu Shuning remotely controlling Liu Tianshen, things will be much easier.

Wu Weiwei looked at Chun Jiao.

"Go and tell your sister to keep a close eye on Mulan Xue. Also, have Chen Dazhuang lead some men to guard the Liu residence. I'm determined to catch them red-handed..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Despite her limp, Mulan Xue returned to Chongshan Island once again.

The man told her that what he had prepared for himself was hidden among the bushes.

When Mulan Xue retrieved the poison packet the man had mentioned from under the bushes, tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

"Hahaha, Wu Weiwei, you probably never imagined that you and Qingzhu would eventually die at my hands!"

"Oh? Our monarch will die by your hand?"

Just then, Chunxiao appeared behind Mulanxue with her entourage.

"You, how did you all get here?"

These past few days she has stayed indoors, ostensibly to recover from her injuries and leave the island, but in reality, she is trying to mislead these people.

Mulan Xue never imagined that Wu Weiwei had someone guarding her all along.

"Mulan Xue, what are you holding in your hand? Did Zhou Chengyi instruct you to poison our monarch?"

"No, you're lying. No one instructed me to do this..."

"Hehe, just now you said that you would let our monarch die at your hands, and everyone here heard that."

What, you still want to make excuses?

"You're making baseless accusations! I was talking about someone else, not the monarch at all..."

Even in this dire situation, Mulan Xue did not yield.

Just then, a guard rushed over.

"Master, General Yin's hunting operation over there has ended, and the monarch requests that you take your men there..."

Hearing that Yin Chuan had completed his mission, Chunxiao looked at her subordinates.

"Guards, take her to the Ni Feng Tower!"

"No, I'm not going..."

"What are you all standing there for? Take them away!"

At Chunxiao's command, two soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied Mulan Xue up tightly.

In front of the entire court of civil and military officials, Zhou Chengyi was invited to the Nifeng Palace by Chen Dazhuang.

"Your Majesty, I do not know what offense I have committed that has caused you to go to such lengths to summon me here?"

He

In the main hall, Zhou Chengyi looked at Wu Weiwei with suspicion.

"What mistake did you make? You'll understand when everyone arrives!"

"I……"

Judging from Wu Weiwei's ruthless aura, could she possibly be...?

No, they will not betray themselves.

Chen Tianxiang assured him that the matter would not be leaked, and besides, there was the Celestial Master, so he should have faith in the Celestial Master.

Despite trying to reassure himself, Zhou Chengyi still felt a little uneasy.

A short while later, Yin Chuan was seen escorting a thin man into the main hall.

Upon seeing this person, Zhou Chengyi's expression immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, the person who instructed Chen Jinshui to poison Chief Qing has been apprehended!"

It was him, Wu Yan!

"What? Chief Qing has been poisoned?"

"Wasn't it said that the leader and Commander Lan were practicing their chess skills at the Martial Arts Hall? How could this be?"

Yin Chuan's words instantly ignited the entire audience.

Looking at the crowd below the stage, Wu Weiwei looked at the middle-aged man with a crescent-shaped birthmark on his face.

"Wu Yan, do you agree with the accusations Yin Chuan just made?"

At this moment, the man with the birthmark on his face, known as Wu Yan, raised his eyes and swept them towards the crowd. His dark pupils instantly understood after noticing someone avoiding him.

"One should take responsibility for one's own actions. I accept what Lord Yin just said!"

Wu Weiwei was stunned when she heard him confess so easily.

Not to mention Wu Weiwei, even those present felt that the confession was too hasty and lacked any twists and turns.

Normal criminals would at least cry foul or offer some excuse, but he went and convicted himself with a single sentence.

"Wu Yan, if you are willing to truthfully confess who is behind this, I will spare your family from punishment..."

"Hehe, no need, there's no one else involved in this whole thing, just me!"

Just convict him already!

Seeing his unresponsive appearance, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but pull away from the paddle.

This person seems difficult to deal with; he's quite stubborn.

Even if someone is stubborn, she will still pry open their mouth.

"Wu Yan, hear the verdict. The evidence against you for murdering Qingzhu is irrefutable. I hereby sentence you to immediate execution, to be carried out in three days!"

Upon hearing that Wu Weiwei wanted to kill him, Wu Yan only frowned slightly and remained silent.

Looking at Zhou Chengyi again, upon hearing that Wu Yan was to be beheaded, he immediately lowered his guard.

For a moment, no one understood what tricks Wu Weiwei and the others were playing. They originally thought that Wu Weiwei's actions today were aimed at Zhou Chengyi.

However, Wu Yan did not implicate him.

They were taken aback by Wu Yan's courage.

"besides……"

Wu Weiwei looked at Yin Chuan.

"Lord Yin, did General Chen just catch a pair of twin siblings who were stealing? The girl's name is Mengli, and the boy's name is Mengyu?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yan raised an eyebrow, his expression revealing tension.

Wu Yan's expression was naturally seen by Wu Weiwei, who was secretly observing.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. General Chen said that the brother and sister are habitual thieves. They have now been handed over to the authorities. I believe Lord Ming will not punish them lightly, will he?"

"You're talking nonsense, they're not thieves..."

When talking about his younger siblings, Wu Yan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
