At this time, some people with a sense of justice stood up and said, "Didn't Lord Zhou, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, say that Princess Pingting had nothing to do with this case? She just happened to be passing by and accidentally ran into this."

Qi Ning rolled his eyes at the woman who stood out and said unhappily, "How could such a coincidence happen in the world? How come it happened to her when it didn't happen to anyone else? Who would believe her if she said it had nothing to do with her?"

"Humph, she is a princess, and she has the support of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate. Who knows if there is something fishy going on behind her."

The voice was so loud that it drowned out the voices of everyone present and was full of provocation.

Mu Yan looked up and down at the woman who was speaking. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green dress. She had a pretty face, but her dark eyes were full of viciousness. She glanced at Mu Yan who was staring at her, gritted her teeth, and her eyes were filled with suppressed hatred.

Qi Ning, who was standing aside, also shut his mouth at this time, sat aside and poured tea, with an expression of watching a good show.

Mu Yan frowned, puzzled. She had no impression of the woman in front of her, but why did she seem to be so hostile to her?

Han Bingjie just walked over at this time and said to the arrogant woman in front of her: "Miss Yi San, I advise you to be careful with your words. This case has been strictly examined by Jingzhao Prefecture and reported to the emperor. Even the emperor said that this matter has nothing to do with Yan'er after looking at the chain of evidence of the whole case. Are you doubting that Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Zhou abused his power for personal gain, or are you doubting the judgment of the current emperor?"

Miss Yi San?

Hearing this name, Mu Yan roughly guessed who the person in front of her was. In the past few days, she had someone investigate the information of all the people in the Yi family.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the younger sister of the deceased Second Miss Yi, and also the younger sister of Yi Chengzhou, the third miss of the Yi family, Yi Moyue.

What Mu Yan couldn't understand was that the Yi family was not a noble family, and now there was only Yi Chengzhou serving as an official in the court, and he was a minor official of the fifth rank. Why could the third Miss Yi attend the palace banquet today?

Yi Moyue's face was grim. "You! You are talking nonsense. I didn't mean that. I just think what everyone said is right. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have run away long ago after seeing such a bloody scene. She even went forward to pick up the dagger. There must be something wrong."

Mu Yan sneered, a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes, and she said leisurely: "That's you, you are an ordinary woman, I am not, my grandfather's family fought for the court in the south and the north, shed blood on the border, and killed countless enemies who invaded our country. Under their influence, I am naturally braver than ordinary people.

If everyone is like you, so timid that they run away when they see a dead body, who would dare to go to the battlefield in the future? If the enemy attacks them, they will just surrender and lay down their weapons."

These words were spoken in a dignified manner, yet they also implicitly criticized Yi Moyue for being inexperienced and timid.

Before Yi Moyue could refute, a strange yet familiar voice came from afar: "My princess, you are wrong."

Mu Yan subconsciously turned around and saw a woman in peach pink exotic clothing slowly approaching.

Two or three people gathered nearby and whispered, "This is the Saintess of the Dongfan Kingdom."

"Wow, the clothes she wears are so special."

"Of course, this is the clothing of the Dongfan Kingdom."

Mu Yan's breathing stagnated, and her chest began to rise and fall subconsciously. This feeling was the same as the first time she saw Mu Wan after her rebirth, although this person had a veil on his face.

But Mu Yan could recognize from her features that this person was definitely Mu Wan.

You finally showed up again.

A meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "I guess you are the Saint from Dongfan Country, Si Yao?"

Si Yao was stunned for a moment. She felt as if Mu Yan's eyes could see through her at a glance. She took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

"It seems that Princess Pingting has investigated me? She was able to recognize me at the first sight?"

She was testing Mu Yan's reaction to see if she recognized her, but Mu Yan chuckled and looked at her like she was a fool, "Why bother investigating? It's hard not to be recognized when a saint wears this kind of clothes."

Si Yao's face turned red after hearing these words, and she subconsciously clenched her hands tightly in her wide sleeves.

Then Mu Yan asked in return: "The Saint is familiar with me. Not only does she know my identity, she even knows my title. I am flattered."

Si Yao bit her lip lightly. "The princess has been a hot topic in the capital these days. I'm afraid only a few people don't know you. After meeting you today, I found that the princess is just like the rumors say. Not only is her mentality different from ordinary people, but her words are also sharp. Si Yao admires her."

Her words were very impolite. Han Bingjie was about to stand up and fight back, but was stopped by Mu Yan in time. She said coldly: "Oh? Really? Thank you for the compliment, Saint Lady, but compared to your eloquence, I am still a step behind."

"you!"

Before Si Yao could get angry, Mu Yan continued to ask: "I don't know what the Saint said just now, and what is the deep meaning of my words, please enlighten me."

Si Yao glanced at her with dissatisfaction and said sarcastically: We in Dongfan have fought against the Yanyun Army before. It is said that the Yanyun Army is a loyal and righteous army. They strictly abide by the regulations of the two countries and the ethical laws. They kill the enemy but do not torture them, and it is even more impossible for them to desecrate the corpse after killing someone.

Miss Yi's death was cruel and brutal, completely different from the corpses on the battlefield.

Or are the rumors all false? The Yanyun Army is not as loyal as the legend says? So the princess is no longer surprised by such things? "
