The singing and dancing of the actors covered up the unusual things here, and not many people noticed it, as they were all immersed in the banquet. But Shi Li had been paying attention to the movements here and did not miss a single thing.

Seeing Madam Yu and the other two people acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Shi Li focused more of her attention on the Crown Prince. She felt that his temperament had suddenly changed and something was not right.

Even if he was really drunk, he shouldn't be like this.

But before she could figure out anything, the prince suddenly staggered and pounced directly towards Princess Zhiyan.

No one had expected this. After all, he was the crown prince, but he actually did something so unethical in public.

Madam Yu and Master Fei were unable to react. Although Princess Zhiyan tried her best to dodge, the prince still grabbed her sleeve. As she struggled, the sleeve could not withstand the force and tore apart, revealing half of her forearm.

By the time Master Fei reacted and pushed the prince away, Princess Zhiyan had already become distracted and ran straight into the rockery not far away.

"Someone! Stop the princess!"

The scene was in chaos for a moment. Princess Zhiyan's sudden action stunned everyone. Only then did they notice that something was wrong. The servants who were nearby hurried to stop her.

But Princess Zhiyan seemed determined to die. She pushed away several servants in succession, hit her head on the rockery, blood splattered, and she fell to the ground on the spot, unconscious.

Madam Yu seemed to be shocked by this scene. She staggered and fell on the maid next to her and fainted.

Gongzi Fei was the only one left at the scene to take charge of the situation. He also had to consider the drunken prince's face, so he gritted his teeth and cleared the scene before dealing with each matter one by one.

At this time, something unexpected happened again!

The actors who were originally staying in the center suddenly showed ferocious looks on their faces, took out the weapons they had hidden on their bodies, and rushed towards Gongzi Fei.

The guests around screamed in fear and the scene was in chaos.

The waterside pavilion was not a big place to begin with, and now it was even more crowded and scattered. Many people fell to the ground, injured and crying.

On the contrary, Shi Li was not in the center of the chaos because she was at the back. While everyone else was busy escaping, Shi Li pretended to protect her master and came to Rao Ji, and saw everything that happened from a closer distance.

It was unknown whether the assassins were targeting Madam Yu, the Crown Prince, or Master Fei. They ignored everyone else and focused on rushing over here.

In the chaos, Gongzi Fei stood in front of the prince, raised his left arm and blocked a dagger for the prince. The prince just sat there in shock, watching the chaos unfold in front of him...

The guards around the Crown Prince and Master Fei were no pushovers either. They were not on guard at first, but they quickly organized themselves and captured all the assassins.

But before they could be interrogated, these assassins actually hid poison in their mouths and committed suicide one by one.

A targeted assassination has become an unsolved case.

So many things happened this evening.

Shi Li, along with other frightened guests, were temporarily settled in a room in the palace. They were not allowed to move around freely or leave for the time being. Everything had to wait until the dust settled.

Rao Ji dismissed the servants and only left Shi Li.

After the door was closed, Rao Ji said, "My Lord, look at what happened today..."

"At first glance, it seems that Madam Yu and Master Fei have been wronged, and even Princess Zhiyan has been humiliated. The prince is going too far."

Shi Li stood by the window, thinking back to what had just happened, and frowned slightly, "But everything seems strange. When the prince first appeared, there was nothing wrong with him. How come he suddenly changed after just a few glasses of wine?"

"Besides, the assassination was too strange. With all this commotion, if someone really tampered with the prince's body or his wine, it would be impossible to find out."

Rao Ji's eyes lit up when she heard this. She took a step closer to Shi Li and said in a low voice, "Madam Yu is not really a person who does not bother with the world."

"Of course. Now that we have our own son and daughter, we have to fight for them." Shi Li and Rao Ji smiled at each other. They almost guessed what happened tonight.

How to evaluate it?

In fact, if we put everything aside and just look at who is the final beneficiary, we can guess who is the instigator.

And the invited guests like Rao Ji were just NPCs on the stage, being dragged along to perform a big show.
