Chapter 1520: Innocence (1)

Biting her lower lip, Jun Wuxia said in a pitiful voice, “I didn’t know that the fish had been tampered with, and I was trying to give it to Her Majesty to please her. I thought Her Majesty would like me if she thought I cooked it. But I didn’t know Feng Wu could be so malicious!”

Jun Wuxia stared at Feng Wu with hatred in her eyes.

She was determined to destroy Feng Wu today!

Jun Wuxia, Empress Dugu, Mrs Dugu, and Mrs Zuo had formed an alliance to fight Feng Wu.

Any other young woman would have surrendered by now, but Feng Wu wasn’t just any young woman. She didn’t panic, nor did she look shaken.

“The fifth princess is here —”

The fifth princess had always been a timid girl. When she saw a big crowd inside, she immediately paled.

“F- Father…” She dropped to her knees, lowered her head, and looked terrified.

Emperor Wu had never liked this timid daughter, so he felt very impatient as soon as he saw her.

But he still controlled his temper and stared at the fifth princess with cold eyes.

Jun Wuxia told her sister loudly, “Sister, tell father that we didn’t roast the fish ourselves, did we?”

Despite her timid appearance, in fact —

No one knew that the fifth princess wasn’t what she appeared to be.

A thousand ideas flashed through her mind.

She wasn’t stupid; of course she knew that Jun Wuxia was the one who made her fall down.

But —

Looking from Jun Wuxia to Empress Dugu, she had to admit that she still couldn’t afford to offend her older sister now.

After weighing the pros and cons, the fifth princess remained as timid as ever and said gingerly, “Father, my sister and I really didn’t cook the fish ourselves. Miss Feng Wu gave them to us.”

Wow —

Immediately, all eyes were on Feng Wu again.

But the way they looked at her had changed.

If that was the truth, Jun Wuxia had lied to the empress dowager at most, but Feng Wu—

Forget Feng Wu; the entire Feng clan would go down with her!

“Father —” The fifth princess added, “I dropped my fish, and it got dirty, but it’s still there. I can go fetch it and show it to you.”

She looked up and gave Feng Wu an apologetic glance when she said that.

She felt sorry that she still had to take Jun Wuxia’s side for now.

Hearing that the fifth princess had evidence, Empress Dugu was elated. She said excitedly, “Your Majesty, can I go get it?”

Emperor Wu waved his hand at the chief steward. “You go. Be quick about it.”

The chief steward nodded and quickly left.

He came back with the roast fish soon afterward. It was indeed covered in dirt, but it was still intact.

What was left of Jun Wuxia’s fish was brought in as well.

Immediately, all eyes were on Feng Wu, and everyone wondered what further explanation she could give now.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Xun wanted to step out.

But Feng Wu grabbed his sleeve and shook her head at him.

Feng Xun said, “But —”

Feng Wu said, “Don’t worry. I have a plan.”

Feng Xun said, “Are you sure?”

Feng Wu nodded. “But you need to do something for me.”

She then whispered something in Feng Xun’s ear.
