"What did you say?"
The question was asked by both Feng Qihe and Feng Jinrui.
Chu Qianli's gaze remained fixed on Feng Qihe. His reaction was so natural.
If he truly knew nothing, then his acting skills were simply too superb.
"Why are you looking at this King like that?" Feng Qihe asked, annoyed. "Do you suspect this King?"
"Not at all, how could this humble one dare?" Chu Qianli said with a forced smile. While she claimed she dared not, she was indeed suspicious.
Feng Qihe saw it clearly.
The anger in his eyes was undeniable, but strangely, it wasn't directed at Chu Qianli. He was angry, but at someone unknown.
Could it be that this matter truly had nothing to do with him?
"Eldest Brother, Fifth Brother never concerns himself with court affairs!" Feng Jinrui was also suspicious.
He was also angry.
"Jinrui, your Eldest Brother might indeed make a move against your Fourth Brother, but towards your Fifth Brother, this King harbors no ill intentions whatsoever!"
The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.
Chu Qianli then said, "It might not be royal assassins; perhaps it's just an assassin organization from the martial world."
But Feng Qihe, harboring his doubts, clearly couldn't stay put.
"Jinrui, this matter, this King will personally investigate until the truth is revealed!"
He turned and left, and soon, his tall figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
He actually left, without troubling them further.
This Prince He was truly quite peculiar. It seemed he genuinely knew nothing?
"Witch... Xiao Yao, what exactly is going on?"
Feng Jinrui had no time to ponder Feng Qihe's actions; he was afraid that his Fifth Brother had truly met with trouble.
"I'm not entirely clear either. The letter delivered today mentioned this matter."
Seeing his anxious expression, Chu Qianli said, "Don't worry, he's fine. He has several experts with him now. The scouts don't know who they are yet, but they are clearly there to protect him."
"Furthermore, Fu Ning has already arrived with the Night Nether Army. With the Night Nether Army present, your Fifth Brother will no longer be in danger."
Feng Jinrui was finally relieved.
"But why would royal assassins be pursuing Fifth Brother? He has always kept to himself and had no grudges with anyone."
Moreover, Fifth Brother had only gone out this time to find someone.
The person he was looking for was also unrelated to court affairs.
What exactly was going on?
"For this, you might have to wait until your Fourth Brother returns to ask for clarification. I'm not entirely sure either."
Chu Qianli mused that she still had a lot of official documents to handle and wouldn't accompany Feng Jinrui in his worries.
"Rest assured, your Fifth Brother is truly fine."
Feng Jinrui nodded. Seeing her about to head to the study, he wanted to follow, but stopped after a few steps.
As he turned back, he saw Leng Ji returning alone.
Feng Jinrui looked surprised. "Where is Fourth Brother?"
Leng Ji's return surely meant he had heard of Prince He's arrival and they had turned back, not going to Prince He's manor.
But why hadn't he returned with Fourth Brother?
"Prince Xuan encountered Prince He, and they went off somewhere. I returned first."
"They left together?" Feng Jinrui was very worried.
Chu Qianli, who had just entered the study, stopped in her tracks and looked back at Leng Ji.
Seeing her like this, Leng Ji immediately tried to comfort her. "Miss, you don't need to worry. His Highness is highly skilled in martial arts. Even if he left with Prince He, he won't be at a disadvantage. He'll be fine."
"Who cares about him?" With a bang, the study door was closed, and she went back to work.
The dog prince had said that if she didn't finish her tasks before he returned, he would "deal with" her.
What if he suddenly returned? What would she do?
