Tsk tsk, what is imperial art? What is thick black learning? What is scheming? What is shameless?
"The regent has taught you a lesson, and Qing Ning will obey his teachings." Wei Ning quickly cupped her hands and clasped her fists, deliberately emphasizing the word "teaching" very strongly, which seemed a bit dishonest.
A smile flashed quickly in Mu Zihan's eyes, and it disappeared so quickly that no one saw it.
The eunuch outside was very discerning and quickly came in and dragged Lu E out, punishing her however she wanted.
Prince An stood up and politely bowed his hands to Wei Ning: "His Royal Highness, we meet again."
Wei Ning had a good impression of Prince An, not to mention that she had killed his sister, so she was extra polite and quickly returned the favor.
Mu Zihan pointed to the seat next to him and said to Wei Ning, "Sit here."
The seat was very close to him, right next to each other. Wei Ning had never been so close to this powerful regent, but she was not afraid of him, so she calmly walked over and sat down.
King An came here this time because of the assassination of Princess Heqing. They examined Duan Mulei about this matter, but Duan Mulei even said that he was wrongly accused and had no knowledge of it.
Because the prince ordered Duanmulei to be handed over to King An last time, and King An seemed to trust the prince, so when he came to the palace this time, he also asked the prince to be by his side.
That's why the regent 'summoned' the prince.
The regent's mother was from the Duanmu family, so she had an extraordinary relationship with Duanmu Lei. Naturally, Prince An would not leave this matter to the regent.
However, looking at the situation just now, the prince seems to be very afraid of the regent, which is a bit difficult to handle.
"This is Duan Mulei's confession, please read it to the prince." King An asked the people accompanying him to present the confession and give it to Wei Ning.
Wei Ning held dozens of pages of confessions, her head hurt a little. She rarely read such a long text except for writing novels and missions.
But now she was just pretending to look at it. She read through it slowly and found that most of what Duan Mulei said was the truth. He didn't dare to be too arrogant and explained everything.
It's just that he didn't mention a word about the day he went to the Prince's Palace to humiliate Princess Qingtong.
"Xiao Wang has also brought Duan Mulei. Please ask the regent and the prince to decide this matter together." King An waved again, and the people accompanying him immediately brought Duan Mulei up.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Duan Mulei shouted as soon as he came in, threw himself on his knees, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, I really did not kill Princess Heqing!"
In just a few days, Duan Mulei lost a lot of weight, his face was haggard, and his eyes were dull, but there was really no scar on his body.
What kind of person is King An? To torture a person, you don’t need to use torture. Mental torture is the most painful.
After days and nights of interrogation, without ever closing his eyes, Duan Mulei's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
Mu Zihan glanced at him without any fluctuation in his expression, as if he were looking at a stranger, "You just need to tell the truth."
Duanmulei was exhausted mentally and physically, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost cried: "That day, Princess Heqing asked me not to follow her. She lost her temper, and I didn't dare to disobey, so..."
"Then why did you go to the Prince's Palace after you left Princess Heqing?" Wei Ning suddenly asked.
"I went to the Prince's Palace because..." Duanmulei didn't really collapse. He seemed to see hope in front of the regent, so his sanity gradually returned.
