Xiao Zhixing sat in the main hall of the prefectural government office waiting for him.
"This humble general pays respects to Prince Yuansheng!" The burly commander, who bore a striking resemblance to Feng Liyan, strode in and performed a smooth, single-knee salute.
Xiao Zhixing smiled, appearing friendly and approachable, "General Feng, there's no need for such formality, please get up."
Feng Lizhen bowed deeply in gratitude, saying, "Your Highness saved my nephew's life and the lives of countless people in Suzhou. You deserve my deepest respect."
Only then did he rise and sit at the lower end of the table, his expression respectful.
"This humble general is performing this grand ceremony to apologize to Your Highness. It was all my negligence that I failed to notice Feng Rang's treacherous intentions. He comes from my Feng family, and I have trusted the wrong person. I am deeply ashamed."
His appearance showed absolutely no sign of rebellion.
Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "General Feng defended Jianan Pass and made great contributions. It is understandable that he did not notice Feng Rang's thoughts. In the end, he was killed by Prince Feng, so his merits and demerits can be considered to have canceled each other out. It is a pity that Prince Feng was seriously injured. It is truly regrettable."
Feng Lizhen's aura turned slightly colder, but it was fleeting. "Being able to kill the ringleader, Min'er's leg was worth losing."
Her eyes reddened as she spoke, "It's such a pity he was in the prime of his life, alas..."
The two exchanged a few pleasant words before Feng Lizhen took his leave to visit Feng Min.
Xiao Zhixing narrowed his eyes. This 172's certain bewitching ability really made people subconsciously feel that Feng Lizhen was kind and would involuntarily trust him.
Coupled with his superb acting skills, it's no wonder that Xiao Yuanshan fell for it.
Over here, Feng Lizhen asked 172, "How is it?"
