Feng Jing, Feng Yu, Feng Yunxuan, Xie Wanyin and everyone present looked at Feng Xi in confusion.
Especially Feng Yunxuan, whose neck was still aching because of Feng Xi's injury just now.
Feng Xi actually rejected her?
Has she forgotten why she was in danger today?
However, Feng Xi always had her own logic in speaking and doing things, so she quickly said amidst the doubts of everyone in front of her:
"The person this assassin wants to assassinate is me. I am the direct victim of this assassination, right? I have not reported the case to the Ministry of Punishment. Isn't this a personal grudge between me and this assassin?"
You must know that this is not an era where the police will come to investigate, arrest, and accuse you if you commit a crime. Instead, only those who report the crime will file a case.
Unless it is a human life lawsuit, the Yamen will not directly intervene.
And if Feng Xi, the victim, doesn’t report it to the police, she will take the assassin back!
"Personal grudge? Fifth sister, are you kidding me?"
Feng Yu smiled and felt that Feng Xi was just playing rogue.
"There were no less than twenty assassins who sneaked into the Princess's mansion today, and several guests were injured. So they can be considered victims, right? They can also report it to the official, right?"
"Oh, okay, then you can let them retaliate~"
Feng Xi nodded without fear at all.
Feng Yu, who was holding back her anger at this, actually turned her head to look at the injured, only to see that those people were either standing directly behind Feng Xi, or silently retreating to avoid his sight.
Obviously, the main people affected before were Feng Xi, and half of them were her people, and the rest were neutral officials.
These people either firmly support Feng Xi, or they don't want to offend either party, and there are some thoughtful Zipin who have some problems.
That's why they were in such chaos before. Except for the prince who was covered in blood, the people on the other side were obviously fine. Why didn't anyone come to help them?
They are all foxes, who doesn’t know who is thinking?
The fourth prince wanted to catch the first bird, but they didn't want to be one!
Seeing this, Feng Yu could only grit his teeth. He wanted to force one of them out, but if the other person came out and didn't say anything, whose face would it be?
Of course it's his!
Seeing this, he could only look at Feng Xi with a sneer and said:
"Ignoring all the guests, let's just talk about the humiliation suffered by the prince and eldest sister. Your Highness can always report it to the Ministry of Punishment, right?"
Feng Xi smiled:
"What's the revenge? One was unscathed, but was sprayed with blood by an assassin because of his poor martial arts? The other couldn't even manage his own house, couldn't figure it out, and couldn't find a good place to stay if something happened. Running around causing trouble for others?"
Feng Yu: "?"
Feng Jing and Feng Yunxuan: "?"
Feng Xi was really fed up with the sanctimoniousness of these people, so she opened her mouth to say a new round of bombardment:
"Isn't that right? You didn't kill an assassin and he was covered in blood. Do you have to report it to the officials? Tell the officials that the two people died too close to Gu and soiled Gu's clothes. Do you want them to compensate?"
Feng Jing: "!"
"As for the eldest sister, let alone whether she came to save me with good intentions, I saved her anyway, right? I mean that I have caused everyone present to suffer. If the eldest princess's mansion is well defended, the servants and patrols will be safe. Can you be more alert and prevent me from being assassinated?"
Fengyunxuan: "?"
Feng Xi was helpless. She really didn't want to blame others, but these people had to fight against her.
Didn't she save anyone?
Saved!
Isn’t this one dead?
And she also planned to give some good gifts to the injured people to soothe their hurt emotions.
She didn't say she wouldn't pay for the loss of the eldest princess' mansion. She would pay double and pay for Feng Yunxuan's medical expenses, right?
Seeing that Feng Jing, Feng Yunxuan and others were so angry that they could not speak, Qi Xiao said seriously:
"Don't worry, everyone, this case will indeed need to be investigated. Not only will the Ministry of Punishment be investigated, but Dali Temple and Yushitai will also be involved."
Everyone looked at Qi Xiao, thinking that this person was crazy and wanted to tear down Feng Xi, when they heard him continue:
"It's just that this female assassin was captured by me. I think this matter is of great importance and needs to be reported to the emperor. The emperor will then decide whether to decentralize the three law departments. What do you think?"
To say that Feng Xi is crazy and crazy means that she has her own set of logic and is extremely unreasonable.
From the perspective of a young minister from Dali Temple, Qi Xiao gave an explanation that could perfectly silence everyone at the banquet while safeguarding the interests of the Princess Protector's Palace.
The greatest emperor in the world, regardless of whether you are the Crown Prince or the Ministry of Punishments, are not worthy of the word "Holy Judgment".
Now, who Emperor Shengde protects the most is naturally Feng Xi, the princess who protects the country.
For a moment, Feng Jing and others stopped talking and had nothing to say.
Qi Xiao immediately ordered people to fetch rare treasures and silver from the treasury of Princess Protector's Mansion.
The treasures were given to the injured, and the silver coins were given to Dongxue, the current steward of the Princess's Mansion.
With Qi Xiao's shrewdness, it was impossible to give Feng Yunxuan twice as much. Instead, while giving treasures and compensation, he promised that his sister-in-law would come to Feng Yunxuan's house to see a doctor and ensure that there would be no scars on her neck.
As for the fact that she couldn't manage the mansion well, they just regarded the merits and demerits of both parties as equal and stopped holding each other accountable.
However, when Qi Xiao was about to finish the arrangements, Feng Xi whispered a few words into his ear, and Qi Xiao quickly responded:
"The guests sitting around my consort and princess today are all frightened. In a few days, the Princess Protector's Mansion will have some good gifts for you. I hope you won't refuse."
After hearing Qi Xiao's words, the guests who were sitting next to them suddenly opened their eyes.
In fact, they were just a little frightened, and they all had big hearts to get to where they are now.
It was said that when gods fought, mortals suffered, and they didn't want any compensation.
But now that Prince Consort Zhaoming said this, they were happy to hear it, right?
In fact, Qi Xiao wanted to compensate these people in other ways, but since Little Phoenix had spoken, he naturally had to listen.
So when Qi Xiao finished handling everything in the eldest princess's palace and the group returned to the palace with the female assassin, it was already a quarter of the hour.
And Emperor Shengde, who had already heard about this from the Dark Dragon Guard's message in the Hall of Yangxin, and said "The rain is about to come" from it, was already sitting in the hall, waiting to interrogate the female assassin with them.
Qi Xiao was not surprised by this. Even Feng Xi, who had always been lazy, did not complain of being tired for the first time, but sat with Qi Xiao in the main hall.
Taking the blame and all that is really too much.
Finally, the female assassin, who was taken down by Aunt Gui to wash up briefly and was now dressed as a palace maid, was brought up.
The woman's eyes widened, and her haggard and sallow appearance could not hide the surprise on her delicate face.
She originally thought that the "holy judge" mentioned by the consort Qi was a bluff, but she didn't expect that she actually met the current emperor.
So without even thinking about it, she kowtowed several times to Emperor Shengde and said:
"Daughter Liu Rong, a native of Qingquan County, Mingzhou, please make the decision for me, the people of Mingzhou, the people of Qingquan County, and the daughter's family!"
