The next day.

Feng Sixi found someone to briefly cover Yun Chen's face, pretending to be a guard, and then set off to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The previous assassination of Feng Sixi is still under investigation. However, because the clues pointing to Feng Liyun are too obvious, some courtiers have already considered it in private, thinking that if the eldest prince really did it, I am afraid that the position of Crown Prince will most likely fall to the second prince.

Therefore, although most people are not eager to express their loyalty and are still in a wait-and-see state, they will naturally not deny face to the banquet at the Second Prince's Mansion.

When Feng Sixi and Yun Chen arrived, there were already many carriages parked outside the mansion, and there were also many people inside the mansion.

Seeing Feng Sixi approaching, some officials quickly stepped forward to salute.

"I've met the third princess."

"My lords, you don't have to be polite. The Second Emperor is hosting a banquet today, and I am also a guest. You don't need to be so restrained."

"Yes, princess." The officials responded, not forgetting to quietly look at the wound on Feng Sixi's forehead.

"Third Princess, I heard that you were assassinated in Tianyi Imperial City. I wonder...how is your health now?"

"With Lord Wang to worry about, there is nothing serious about this princess." Feng Sixi replied with a smile.

"Although the princess is blessed with great fortune, the assassin is really hateful. Who sent this assassin? Princess...do you already know it?" an official said cautiously.

When the second prince came back before, he pointed everything at the eldest prince, but the so-called evidence was just the corpse of an assassin after all, and it was really not strong enough. Therefore, this matter was not concluded so quickly, but the investigation continued.

The third princess usually had a lot of quarrels with the eldest prince in the court. Now that she is back, I am afraid she will stick to this matter, but I don't know if the third princess has more evidence in her hands.

Feng Sixi glanced at the courtier and then at the other people present. Although some officials had not gathered around him, after hearing this, they all waited attentively to hear Feng Sixi's answer.

"My lords, there is no need to be so provocative. Everything is still under investigation, and I don't know anything about it, either." Feng Sixi's tone was a bit colder.

But some courtiers still couldn't bear their curiosity and continued to ask tentatively.

"Princess, I'm so brave. I wonder if you think this matter has anything to do with the eldest prince?"

Feng Sixi raised her eyebrows slightly, but before she could speak, a steady male voice came from behind.

"If you want to know whether this matter has anything to do with this prince, you might as well ask me directly."

Feng Liyun came out from behind Feng Sixi. The moment he saw Feng Liyun, the official who had just asked him paled instantly.

Following everyone, they hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met the eldest prince."

Yun Chen stood behind Feng Sixi, bowed his hands with everyone, and secretly looked at the eldest prince of Bei Mo.

Compared with Feng Yanmo's gentle skin, the eldest prince has deep eyebrows and handsome and straight facial features, making him look a bit more serious and majestic.

A pair of eyes glanced at him with unclear emotions, carrying a sense of oppression that made people hold their breath and focus.

After scanning everyone present, Feng Liyun stopped at the official who had just asked the question.

"Don't you want to ask whether this prince is the murderer?"

The official trembled with fright, and the last trace of blood faded from his pale face. He cupped his hands and spoke hesitantly.

"I'm going down, I'm going down, that's not what I meant!"

"No?" Feng Liyun laughed, his eyes becoming sharper, "The prince wants to hear, what do you mean? Don't you hope to hear from the three emperor sisters that this prince is the murderer?"

"This official just wants to find out the truth. There is absolutely no hope that the eldest prince is the murderer." The official said quickly. After speaking, he nervously looked up at Feng Liyun, but he met his eyes and was frightened. His legs went weak and he immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, I really don't have any other intentions. I hope your Highness will forgive me for my inappropriate words and deeds."

Feng Liyun didn't speak immediately, but looked at Feng Yanmo who was walking out of the house with a half-smile. He didn't speak leisurely until the other party came closer.

"I have never said that I will punish you, so why are you so nervous? What's more, today is a banquet at the second brother's house. Everyone is here to attend the banquet. You make it so serious, but it is easy for others to misunderstand me. He came here to disrupt the situation on purpose. Second brother, do you think so?"

Feng Yanmo had already walked closer and glanced at the courtiers on the ground. A hint of displeasure surged deep in his eyes, but it only took a moment before he suppressed it again and returned to his gentle appearance.

"What the eldest brother said is true. Today is a banquet. Everyone just go to the banquet and there is no need to say anything else." After saying that, Feng Yanmo said to the officials on the ground, "Get up, even if you have nothing to say or do. If it's appropriate, I think that my elder brother will definitely not argue with you."

The official nodded hurriedly, got up nervously from the ground, and stood aside, not daring to say anything more.

Feng Yanmo's eyes moved to Feng Sixi, "Third sister, my second brother has been busy with government affairs these past two days. Although I know you are back, I have no time to visit your house. Your injury should not be serious, right?"

"Thank you, Second Emperor, for your concern. Except for the scar on my forehead, everything else has healed." Feng Sixi said with a smile as usual, his attitude was the same as before, and he seemed to be closer to Feng Yanmo. .

Feng Yanmo frowned and looked at the scar on Feng Sixi's forehead with some distress, "During this period, my second brother also sent people to find a lot of elixirs to remove scars. I will send them to you after today's banquet." My lord, please give it a try, it’s better not to leave any scars on this face.”

"Okay, thank you, Second Emperor Brother." Feng Sixi responded with a smile.

Feng Yanmo nodded slightly, and then looked at Feng Liyun who was standing aside, "I was negligent in talking to Third Sister. Brother, please come in quickly. Everyone, seats have been prepared in the back garden. , everyone, come in quickly.”

"Thank you, Second Prince!"

"Thank you, Second Prince!"

The officials hurriedly responded, then made way out of the way, asking Feng Liyun and the others to go first, and then followed one after another.

After Feng Sixi walked for a while, he deliberately distanced himself from everyone, lowered his voice and spoke to Yun Chen.

"are you ready?"

"Okay." Yun Chen nodded in a low voice and looked at the people around him defensively.

Feng Sixi thought for a while, and then her voice became lower and lower, "This second prince's residence is not small. How much time do you need?"

"There are many people in the mansion today, so there is no need to check the places that everyone will go to or pass by frequently. It is not easy to hide people in such places, so the main ones are in the backyard."

"Okay." Feng Sixi nodded and was about to let Yun Chen find a chance to leave. Feng Liyun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yun Chen...
