Within Feng Qingxiao's black eyes, a black undercurrent stirred layers and layers of waves. Just how many secrets did this Princess Taiping have?

What was her secret?

Was she still that stupid, unruly, arrogant, and brainless princess of the capital?

If she wasn't Princess Taiping, who was she?

At that moment, he wanted to grab her and ask her all her secrets. But he only narrowed his phoenix eyes and watched her figure disappear in the doorway.

”Thanks for your trouble, Princess.”

The Iron Guard's voice could be heard from outside, followed by her calm and tired voice. ”Your prince is asleep, don't disturb me.”

”Yes.”

The sound of her footsteps faded away, revealing her exhaustion. Every step felt like it was right next to his ear.

Only at noon did Yun Zihuang wake up. The quality of her sleep this time was not bad, and no one came to disturb her. Even the War God, very obediently, did not appear. When he came back, it was already near daybreak. He slept until noon, feeling rather hungry.

She got up and the two maidservants immediately asked, ”Is the princess awake? Your servants go in to serve you? ”

”Give me the food, and prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath.”

”Yes, princess.”

Moments later, steaming hot dishes were served. A maidservant smiled and said, ”Princess, are you sleeping well? The incident yesterday has already caused a storm in the entire city. Now, the Censorate can be considered to have really failed! ”

”What's the good news?”

The two maidservants talked about what had happened at the Censor's residence last night, and the news had already spread like wildfire yesterday. She believed that the reason why the news spread so quickly was all because of Feng Qingxiao's scheme. Otherwise, in this place where the information was so slow and primitive, it wouldn't have spread to the capital so quickly.

After a night of brewing, today's matter had become the most popular topic in the capital. Originally, a servant or servant was only the master's private property. In the Tianyuan Kingdom, everything, including their lives, belonged to the master. As the censor of the imperial court, Yun Feiyan was a third rank official. His rank was not low, and the execution of a few erroneous servants was not a big deal.

In the capital, which noble or noble clan did not punish their servants, and some even executed them?

A servant was a private property, just like an item, without any status or dignity. Even if one was a high official, punishing a servant was nothing. If it was executing a servant, it was usually done in secret. After all, it could be considered as a life, and nobles cared a lot about reputation. The servants who were executed in private would use the excuse of illness or death to send them out of the city and bury them in the wilderness. Everyone was well aware of this matter and no one would spread it. After all, every official or aristocrat would inevitably execute their family servant or die accidentally in the process of punishing them.

If the servant made a mistake, the master could send the servant directly to the magistrate for punishment. Usually, even if the servant escaped death at that time, he would not be able to escape death in the end, and it was very likely that he would die miserably after suffering a fate worse than death.

Unfortunately, the Censor's servants were found out by someone, and the victim was still crying and making a ruckus.

What was even more unfortunate was that the few maids that had died were the ones that Princess Taiping had given to her, the servants of the Censor's residence, the ones who had been given back to her the day before.

Unfortunately, this matter had coincidentally been encountered by the Deputy Imperial Censor, Yue Mutian.
