Yun Zhao glanced at Yun Zihuang. The person sitting there was the only person with a different surname in the Tian Yuan Kingdom. He held military authority and was known as the Tian Yuan Kingdom's War God, Feng Qingxiao. Even the emperor was very fearful of the real king. His status in the Tianyuan Kingdom was extremely high, even the current emperor had to give him some face.

Yun Zihuang's attitude just now could be said to be too casual and rude. He was worried that she would anger this prince, who possessed the fame and reputation of a war god and a god of slaughter, at the border.

Feng Qingxiao looked at Yun Zihuang. No one had ever spoken to him like this, not to mention that the other party was a princess of the Marquis Mansion. However, she just smiled lazily and said those words casually, as if they were old friends who had been together for many years.

”Is Yun Fei Feng awake?”

The corner of her mouth rose even higher. ”How about you didn't wake up? So what if you're awake? ”

”Princess, you want to guess and guess with This King?”

His tone was like the ice and snow on a distant peak. There was not a trace of warmth in his tone, only indifference, and not a single emotion.

”Haha, okay, it was my fault. My father woke up. What did you find out about his injuries? ”

Feng Qingxiao looked towards Yun Zhao, ”Yun Zhao should have found it too.”

”I just want to know what you found.”

”I can only tell you one person.”

Yun Zhao bowed, ”Your highness, princess, this general will take his leave.”

She wanted to stop him, but she saw Feng Qingxiao looking at her with eyes as deep and unfathomable as a black hole. It was as if he wanted to suck her in and absorb her in as much as he could. Yun Zhao had already retreated after a moment of absent-mindedness and said faintly, ”Yun Zhao can trust you.”

Han Feng also left, and only Feng Qingxiao and Yun Zihuang were left in the study room.

”The crown prince secretly ordered your father to be injured.”

This conjecture had been made by Yun Zhao when she had spoken to him earlier. He'd mentioned that it wasn't an accident that Yun Fei had been injured, but rather the result of a conspiracy planned by the Crown Prince. Because of the crown prince's identity, the process of investigation had been obstructed greatly. It was not convenient either. Although the investigation had something to do with the crown prince, there was no solid evidence. Yun Fei was seriously injured, so he could only continue to investigate in secret while he was still in a semi-conscious state.

She narrowed her eyes with a dangerous glint in her eye. ”What evidence is there?”

The way he looked at her was somewhat strange. He slowly said, ”Since I said so, I naturally have proof. Even if I have proof, what can you do?”

She did not speak for a long time. Yes, in this Tianyuan Kingdom, as she knew it, similar to the ancient times, the imperial power was paramount. The person who framed Yun Fei and her was the current crown prince, the future emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom. Not to mention she didn't have any evidence, even if she had, she couldn't use it to testify against the crown prince. Just because of this era, the Emperor was able to execute hundreds of people with a single sentence, regardless of whether they were guilty or not.

At the same time, although the crown prince did not have the authority of the emperor, no one dared to question how many people he killed. What's more, the Emperor was the Crown Prince's father. Could he use the evidence of the Crown Prince harming Yunfei to report the Crown Prince to the Emperor?

The result of doing so would likely result in the duke's manor being casually accused of a crime and turning into ashes in the wind!

”The Emperor knows what the crown prince has done.”
