"What? Who is he?"

Ji Xi stood up abruptly, her face filled with uncontrollable rage!

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming smiled faintly and whispered something in Ji Shishi's ear.

Then, Ji Shishi came to the side of Prince Yan, Ji Xi, and whispered something in his ear!

Ji Xi was horrified upon hearing this, and kept nodding slightly...

This move immediately piqued the curiosity of the entire court!

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with complicated and tense expressions.

Of course, some people were just curious to see what was going on, while others were worried... that Jiang Ming was talking nonsense and framing them, and still others were feeling guilty...

Jiang Ming glanced at the Queen of Yan's expression out of the corner of his eye, and saw that she looked solemn, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, and she was even secretly giving a general a meaningful look...

After whispering something to her brother, Ji Shishi actually went straight to the back hall and left!

Ji Xi, with a grim expression, addressed everyone in the hall: "I already know who he is... I hope he will step forward himself. If he does, I might spare his life out of consideration for our past relationship. Otherwise, he will be torn apart by five horses! The punishment will last for three days!"

Upon hearing this, the courtiers were astonished and looked at the Prince of Yan in fear.

"Your Majesty..."

A minister advised, "Now that we know who he is, why not arrest him immediately? This assassination attempt on the princess is tantamount to treason! Can we really let him live for another three days?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Another minister chimed in, "This assassination attempt on the eldest princess is intolerable! Why must Your Majesty do such a thing...?"

"Enough!"

Princess Yan sighed painfully, "Give him three more days. Alright, I'm tired and want some peace and quiet... Young Master Jiang, come with me to the back hall for a talk! The rest of you... may you all leave!"

"promise!"

Jiang Ming smiled and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Then, Prince Yan, Ji Xi, said, "General Wu, send 3,000 Imperial Guards to strictly protect the Crown Prince's residence. Not even a bird should be allowed to enter. If anyone enters the Crown Prince's residence now, you will be punished the same as the assassin!"

"Yes, sir!"

A tall general clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

After saying that, Ji Xi turned and left.

The remaining group of bewildered ministers were at a loss... they had no idea what was going on.

With the King of Yan gone, the most important person present was now the Queen of Yan.

Feigning composure, she approached Jiang Ming and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, who exactly is he? Can you tell me? Don't worry, even if the King isn't here, I can still make the decision for you!"

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming smiled meaningfully at the beautiful woman, said nothing, let out a slight, feigned sigh of regret, ignored her, and then followed the attendant to see the Prince of Yan, leaving the Queen of Yan bewildered and internally conflicted...

In fact, language is not always a panacea.

Body language, facial expressions, breathing rhythm, and demeanor can all convey profound meanings that can only be understood intuitively!

This subtle meaning often has more power and impact than straightforward language.

Like a pretty girl giving you a disdainful look, this kind of "magical damage" might be even more annoying to a guy than being verbally abused!

Jiang Ming's feigned sigh of regret, and his eyes filled with "you're hopeless"... all made the Queen of Yan extremely displeased!

......

Inside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion in the rear palace of the Prince of Yan.

The Prince of Yan and Jiang Ming sat facing each other and talked, with Ji Shishi beside them...

Objectively speaking, the fact that the Prince of Yan was able to sit so close to Jiang Ming, without being surrounded by archers and axemen, already demonstrates a great deal of sincerity!

You must know, Jiang Ming is a 'warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men'!

The Prince of Yan has entrusted his life and fortune to Jiang Ming...

Originally, it was something that everyone could see through but not say, but Ji Xi still had to deliberately "show off" his achievements.

"How about it, Mr. Jiang? Haven't I been sincere enough with you...?"

The Prince of Yan sighed, "There are no warriors or anyone else around now, only my sister. Mr. Jiang... can you open your heart to me now? Who exactly is the one who wants to assassinate my sister?"

"hehe!"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want me to tell you? Wouldn't it be better to let her tell you herself?"

"Tell me yourself?"

"right!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Within three days, this man will definitely launch a coup and seize the king's power!"

"Huh? This...this, how is this possible? Who has such audacity?"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the most dangerous person right now is not the Princess, but you!"

"Mr. Jiang, please speak frankly!"

Princess Yan asked gleefully, "Who exactly is plotting a rebellion?"

"Your Majesty..."

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter who rebels. What's important is how to wipe out all these rebels in one fell swoop. If we miss even one, they could become a hidden danger... Your Majesty, why don't we play a game?"

"Oh dear!"

Ji Xi was utterly speechless: "Mr. Jiang, my dear brother-in-law, Prince Consort... just be frank! How can I possibly be in the mood for any of these silly games?"

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Ming waved his hand: "The lid can't be lifted before the water boils, otherwise the disease can't be cured completely. So, Your Majesty, how about I pretend to be you for the next few days?"
