Although there was very little origin energy left behind in her dantian by Feng Qingxiao, it was still a rare and extremely strong true essence that came from the origin energy of a metal origin master!

This bit of primeval essence was like providing the best motivation for her, allowing her cultivation to advance at an extremely fast rate.

If she did not cultivate now but was busy with other things, then with the depletion of her energy, this strand of true essence would quickly disappear from her body. Coincidently, she found the perfect time to start her cultivation. When she was busy in the East Palace, she started to cultivate out of boredom. If she continued to cultivate now, it would allow this strand of true essence to increase her cultivation speed and also allow this strand of true essence to become hers.

”Princess, is the princess awake?”

Hearing the imperial physician's call, she reluctantly opened her eyes, turned around, and pretended to be still in shock. ”Ah … ”Crown Prince …”

”Princess, do you remember anything?”

”Assassin! There's an assassin! How's the crown prince?”

The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief and raised his voice: ”Please come over, Manager Zhao. The princess has woken up.”

When Zhao Dehai received the news, he hurriedly ran over and bowed, ”Greetings, princess. Princess, what happened just now?”

”It's an assassin. So terrifying. Your Highness the Crown Prince …” ”What's going on?”

”Princess, there's no need to panic. Although the crown prince is injured, his life is not in danger. Princess, please explain clearly who assassinated the crown prince.”

She shook her head. ”I don't know.”

”At that time, there was only the crown prince and the princess in the room. How could the princess not see the assassin clearly?”

”I only saw a very bright golden ball. I shouted that there was an assassin, and then I saw the Crown Prince fall down. After that, I didn't remember anything else.”

Zhao Dehai frowned, ”Other than the golden ball of light, did the princess not see anything else?”

”Let me think. My head hurts …”

She pretended to be in pain and rubbed her temples. After a long while, she shook her head again, ”The golden blob of light is too bright. It suddenly appeared in front of me, as if there's a person inside the golden blob of light.

”Is that person a man or a woman? Is it old or young? ”

”I don't know …” Ah … ”So painful …”

She clutched her head and cried out in pain, her body trembling slightly.

Zhao Dehai was very disappointed, but he didn't doubt Yun Zihuang's words. A golden ball of light was a symbol of a rare metal elemental master. If it was a metal elemental expert, it would be normal for them to come and go without a trace, much less something that Princess Taiping could see clearly. However, who could ask a superior cultivator of the Golden Origin Stage to assassinate the Crown Prince?

”Princess, what else did you see?”

”Pain, it hurts …” Hurry and call the royal doctor to treat me. ”
