Someone reported the Duke of Dingguo's words to His Majesty, who simply smiled and did not intend to punish the Duke of Dingguo.
Feng Guang walked in the Imperial Garden, stroking her chin. She thought to herself that her father and mother were strange, but she didn't need to think about these strange things. What she needed to think about was the second male lead, the musician who would appear soon and follow Feng Miyin into the palace on the day of Feng Miyin and Meng Xi's wedding.
Si Jia is a musician, or more accurately, an assassin disguised as a musician. Of course, he is also very skilled at playing the zither. No one knows how he kills people, not even Feng Guang. This is because the original text, in order to make the character more mysterious, does not describe how he does it or how he is so successful.
Si Jia was someone Feng Miyin met under the guise of Mr. Ghost. He was also the first person to know that Mr. Ghost was actually Feng Miyin. Feng Miyin found Si Jia interesting because he was clearly an assassin, yet he possessed a cool and aloof, otherworldly aura. So she deliberately flirted with him. Feng Miyin was inherently a free-spirited and unrestrained person; whenever she saw someone attractive, regardless of gender, she would try to seduce them. However, she never expected that she was not flirting with a little white rabbit, but rather a big bad wolf.
Because the king of Liubi Kingdom died, which was also the father of Feng Miyin, and his death was very sudden, and no possibility of murder could be found, the king of Liubi Kingdom was defined as having died suddenly from an illness, and the crown prince of Liubi Kingdom ascended the throne.
But Feng Miyin knew that her father was killed, and that he was killed by Si Jia, simply because her father treated her badly and forced her into a marriage alliance.
Feng Guang sighed that there were very few descriptions of Si Jia taking action. She was someone Meng Xi "liked". If Meng Xi didn't treat Feng Miyin well, Si Jia might come after her. He was a legendary assassin who was said to be like a god. She didn't know his methods of killing, and she couldn't even avoid him.
From the very beginning of the mission, she defined it as an extremely high-risk matter.
"Princess, the palace banquet is about to begin."
Hearing the palace maid's reminder, Feng Guang finally snapped out of her thoughts. She looked up at the sky and saw that night had fallen. The marriage procession from Liu Bi Kingdom had arrived yesterday, and a welcoming banquet would be held in the palace today for Feng Mi Yin, who was to be married off. Feng Mi Yin, Meng Xi, and Si Jia would all be there.
Feng Guang still remembers that a minor assassination attempt would take place at the palace banquet. The assassin's target was not Meng Xi, nor Xia Chao, but Wang Ci.
Her mother.
Feng Guang had no choice but to attend the palace banquet, even if she didn't want to. She sat next to her mother, watching with little interest the ministers shoving and toasting each other down the steps, as well as the row of Liu Bi Kingdom people sitting to her left.
Generally speaking, only the emperor and empress can sit in the main seat on the steps. Princesses, on the other hand, can only sit in the lower seats like princes. However, Xia Chao carried the one-year-old Princess Changning to court, let the three-year-old Princess Changning stand on the dragon throne, and even turned a blind eye to the five-year-old Princess Changning hitting the tutor who was teaching her... With so many outrageous things already done, one more wouldn't matter.
Feng Guang ignored the burning gaze Meng Xi was casting at her. Her attention was now drawn to another man, who was sitting behind the general of Liu Bi Kingdom. He was dressed in pure white, his features gentle and calm, but his temperament was extremely aloof. He wasn't the kind of man who was exceptionally handsome, because Meng Xi was much more beautiful than him.
But he is not someone who attracts attention with his looks. What amazes people is not his appearance, but his aloof and independent demeanor, and the quiet and serene feeling that comes from his very being.
The man felt the gaze fixed on him, and when he looked up, his eyes met Feng Guang's.
