  Liu Feng, who was drinking tea by himself, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and a subtle, eerie change in his expression flashed by.

  Zi Zhong's sudden remark made everyone feel slightly surprised, and Liu Bei said: "Let's discuss whatever it is you have to say later, let's finish the most important matter first."

  In Liu Bei's eyes, there was nothing more important than dealing with the Battle of Red Cliffs at hand.

  Zou Teng stood up, walked to the center of the hall, clasped his hands and said seriously: "As the saying goes, 'disaster originates from within', this matter is very likely related to the honor and prosperity of our lord and us, how can we treat it lightly?"

  Meng Zong's performance was unexpected and surprising to everyone, and his words in a cold and serious tone were somewhat "alarming" and moved everyone.

  Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance, but his expression remained calm. He glanced at Mi Zhu, who was being serious, and nodded: "Alright, what is this matter that concerns honor or shame? You might as well tell me."

  Mi Zong glanced at Liu Feng with a hint of triumphant resentment in his eyes, while Liu Feng seemed oblivious on the surface but was actually aware of it. At the same time, Liu Feng also felt another pair of eyes secretly paying attention to him, and the gaze contained a few hints of worry and concern, which was completely opposite to Mi Zong's.

  That gaze came from Zhao Yun. In this grand hall of discussion, apart from Cao Cao, only these two knew what was going to happen next.

  Liu Feng's gaze swept casually over the crowd, and when he passed by Zhao Yun, he paused for a moment, his calm expression flashing by in an instant, giving Zhao Yun a subtle hint that he was telling him not to worry about him.

  After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "My lord, do you still remember the late mistress, also known as Zhi's younger sister, Mou Shi?"

  Liu Bei's eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing a hint of surprise. Apparently, if not for Mi Zhu bringing it up this time, he had almost forgotten his deceased first wife. At a time when morale was high and a turning point was near, Mi Zhu's words naturally carried some untimely implications.

  Soon, Liu Bei's face showed a look of sorrow. He sighed deeply: "Madam, she sacrificed herself to save Adou, such a person with great loyalty and righteousness, I, Liu Bei, will never forget her even on the day I die."

  Liu Bei's heartfelt nostalgia for Mi Zhu made a hint of comfort appear on Mi Zhu's face, but his expression immediately turned cold and stern again, saying in a low voice: "The lord misses my deceased sister, her spirit in heaven will surely also be comforting, however, she would never forgive!"

  A hoarse voice filled with hatred, the word "Mò Mìng Qí Miào" made the hall fall into silence.

  "Zi Zhong, what does this mean?" Liu Bei's face was slightly displeased, apparently he thought that Mi Zhuang's words were aimed at himself.

  With a fierce glance, his gaze pierced Liu Feng: "Because my little sister died unjustly, her spirit in heaven cannot rest."

  This remark shocked everyone present, and Zou Jue stared at Liu Feng with that gaze, this strange behavior also attracted the attention of the crowd, in an instant, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were cast on Liu Feng.

  At this time, Liu Feng could no longer pretend to be unaware, or else he would have appeared to be acting. So he also wore a look of surprise, facing Mi Zhu's gaze which almost wanted to strangle him to death.

  "Zi Zhong, how did his wife die so unjustly?" Liu Bei's tone also became serious.

  Mi Fang then recounted in detail how he had secretly sent his younger brother to infiltrate the area around Yanglong Slope, and how they had found Mi's body at the location Liu Feng had previously described. He also described how Mi Fang had discovered the body and what he had inferred about Mi's situation before death from the state of the corpse, speaking in front of everyone.

  The civil and military officials present were not ordinary people. The various doubts raised by Zou Jizhong already had a clear direction, and their eyes unanimously turned to Liu Feng again. In those gazes, there was shock, suspicion, self-righteousness, and of course, a few rare expressions of trust.

  Liu Feng's face was pale with surprise, but his eyebrows were calm and composed. In his heart, he was secretly laughing: Zou Jue, you really can't withstand my provocation, what are you hesitating for, hurry up and say what you want to say!

  After a long sigh, he swallowed his saliva and licked his dry lips with his yellowish tongue. He looked straight at Liu Bei: "Sister, she obviously hadn't been hurt before her death. The words about burdening Ah Dou are simply forced. In other words, even if she was really afraid of burdening Ah Dou, but previously she had fallen into the enemy's hands several times and didn't choose to commit suicide. So why did she have to commit suicide this time?"

  Liu Bei had abandoned his wife several times when he was repeatedly defeated in Xuzhou, although from the moral perspective of this era, it is not a shameful thing, but for a man, it is not a glorious thing either.

  But Mi Zhu's spirit has entered a state of excitement, in order to "expose" Liu Feng's so-called true face, he forgot his inhibitions when speaking, and in front of many subordinates, he actually brought up such things, isn't this making Liu Bei lose face in public?

  As expected, Liu Bei, who had already been tempted by various speculations and began to suspect Liu Feng, suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this. He coughed a few times and said coldly: "Zi Zhong, what do you want to say?"

  The groundwork was not yet completed, and Zuo Ci did not rush to express his final thoughts. Instead, he walked towards Zhao Yun, whose face was as calm as a frozen lake, and cupped his hands in respect: "Zilong, I recall that when we met at Yangdu Bridge after the Battle of Red Cliffs, our lord asked about how my sister died. He said that she had taken her own life by crashing into a wall. I'd like to ask, was this something you witnessed with your own eyes, or did you hear it from the young master? Please answer truthfully, Zilong, according to your conscience."

  Although Zhao Yun had never wished for this moment to come, it finally did.

  Under his icy expression lies a helpless heart. Although he trusted Liu Feng completely, the principles of being a person for a lifetime would not change because of this.

  Zhoa Yun looked straight at the gaze of Zou Jue and replied calmly: "When I arrived, the mistress had already passed away. I did not see the process of her death with my own eyes."

  As soon as these words came out, the great hall suddenly fell silent like death.

  In those faces, some were sighing, some were detesting, and there were also people who were self-righteously smug, as if they had expected it all along.

  Liu Bei's face was gloomy like a night sky with dense black clouds, and under his dark skin, the blue veins appeared and disappeared from time to time.

  All the preparations have been completed, and at this time, Zou Jue's face is filled with pride. He walks up to Liu Feng in big strides, raises his hand and points at Liu Feng's nose, saying loudly: "All the evidence indicates that your mother did not die from suicide, but was murdered!"

  The sound of rebuke echoed in the empty great hall, Liu Bei's gaze slowly shifted to Liu Feng. In those brown eyes, Liu Feng saw a few hints of murderous intent.

  His heart was coldly laughing: Your performance is finally over, it's my turn now.
