"Nothing will happen."
Feng Ji appeared on the deck. The men in black, now like trapped beasts, jumped into the lake as fast as they could. The assassins who had not escaped bit into the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.
Therefore, thanks to Feng Ji's timely arrival, Feng Anxue was not successfully kidnapped.
Fu Junheng and Mu Chenshuang returned to the deck, where the scene was in complete disarray. The people who had been hiding in the cabins were led out by the guards.
Mu Chenshuang immediately noticed Wei Xu, who was clutching his arm, with blood seeping from his fingers.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and asked, "Are you injured?"
Wei Xu, pale-faced, still insisted, "It's nothing, just a superficial injury."
Seeing his resolute appearance, Mu Chenshuang felt very gratified. She recalled that Wei Xu was just a weak man who could be knocked to the ground with a single punch. Today, instead of running away, he took up his sword and went into battle.
Mu Chenshuang grasped his wrist and took his pulse to see if he had any internal injuries. Sure enough, he had internal injuries, but fortunately, they were not serious.
"If you're injured, you don't have to force yourself to stay strong."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her hand, looked at Qi Ye, and instructed, "Qi Ye, take Wei Xu to get bandaged up."
Qi Ye nodded.
As Wei Xu followed Qi Ye away, he felt a prickling sensation on his back, and he couldn't help but shudder and shiver.
"Why are you shaking? Are you badly injured?" Qi Ye asked in confusion.
Wei Xu turned around cautiously and glanced back. His originally cold and frosty eyes softened and became gentle when he looked at Mu Chen Shuang.
Wei Xu instantly understood where that feeling of fear had come from. If looks could kill, he probably would have been pierced through the heart by now.
Wei Xu, still shaken, looked away and asked Qi Ye, "Qi Ye, do you really think Master can be with Crown Prince Jun Heng?"
Qi Ye replied indifferently, "You don't need to worry about these things."
"I'm just worried."
Qi Ye said directly, "There's no use in worrying. Mind your own business."
Wei Xu did not ask any further questions.
Feng Ji finished checking on Feng Anxue's condition.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and asked, "Prince Xiaoyao, how is the situation?"
Feng Ji withdrew his hand and replied, "It's nothing serious, I was just knocked unconscious."
Afterwards, Feng Ji had someone escort Feng Anxue back to the palace.
"Why would the Dark Night Assassins kidnap Feng Anxue? Could it be that they want to use her to make some kind of deal with the Emperor?" Mu Chenshuang asked suspiciously. The Dark Night Assassins wouldn't be so stupid as to take such a big risk.
Feng Ji did not answer Mu Chenshuang's question, but looked at Fu Junheng and asked, "Junheng, what do you think?"
Jun Heng's understanding of the Night Assassins was naturally much deeper than his.
Just as Fu Junheng was about to say something, he suddenly realized something, his eyes sharpened, and he turned around to look at a pavilion on the opposite bank of the lake.
Mu Chenshuang was startled and followed his gaze, asking, "What's wrong?"
His strong reaction meant there must be someone on the pavilion, but she couldn't detect it at all. It seems that a large number of experts have gathered in the imperial city.
Fu Junheng withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "There are people over there."
Feng Ji explained calmly, "That pavilion is the territory of the Second Prince, Feng Moran; it's just a place for pleasure."
Royal children all own property within the capital, but he idles away his days, openly building this pavilion by Wanyue Lake, where he gathers all sorts of beautiful women, and he is a frequent visitor here.
The emperor was naturally aware that this was a matter that damaged the royal family's reputation, but Feng Guche did not interfere much and let him do as he pleased, just as he did not care what Feng Mozhan did.
Looking into the distance, Mu Chenshuang could still vaguely see dancing figures on the second floor, as if what had just happened on the lake had not had much of an impact, and business continued as usual.
"Although it's a place of entertainment, I think it's quite suitable for gathering intelligence. Why don't we go and take a look?"
Feng Ji agreed, "Alright."
The three then disembarked, and it would take half an hour to go around from this side.
Because it was midday, there weren't many people coming and going from this pavilion.
Standing outside the door to greet the guests was a middle-aged woman. Having seen all sorts of powerful and wealthy people before, she could tell at a glance that these three were definitely not ordinary people, regardless of their demeanor or attire.
She swayed her hips as she walked towards the three men, asking with a smile, "May I ask what brings you two gentlemen to this brothel with this young lady?"
