C183 (1/2)
Tie Gang Ying modestly conceded a few times. He could no longer hold back the princess' enthusiasm. After thanking her, he sat down and accompanied her to eat breakfast.
Yun Zihuang ate her breakfast in a neither hurried nor slow manner, her mood improved a little as she looked at the kneeling Zhou Tuoyi in front of her. The original owner's emotions had disappeared without a trace. She didn't know if she should feel regretful or relieved.
After a while, Zhou Tuoba finally caught his breath, gritted his teeth as he stared at Yun Zihuang: ”Yun Zihuang, you actually dare …”
”Pa …”
Nian Liu took two steps forward and raised her hand to slap Zhou Tuoyi's face. It was loud and clear: ”How dare you, traitor, call out my princess's name? Kowtow and plead guilty! ”
”Cough, cough …”
Tie Gangying choked on his food as he looked at Yun Zihuang with wide eyes. This was the former Crown Prince, after all, she was the son of the Emperor. Although she was a criminal right now and was a murderer of her father, it wouldn't be good for him to let a young maid humiliate him, right?
”You …”
Zhou Tuoba was angry, embarrassed, and angry. His face was pale, and his whole body was trembling. For a moment, he was unable to say a word. After a long while, he finally said, ”You, a slave servant, actually dared to hit me. How dare you!”
As he spoke, he tried to stand up, but before he could straighten his legs, Whispering Willow kicked him hard in the crook of his leg. With his hands tied behind his back, how could he resist? He kneeled down heavily again, and cried out in pain.
”In front of the princess, you are only on your knees. Kowtow and beg for forgiveness!”
”You dare …”
Nian Liu looked at Zhou Tuoyi mockingly. ”Right now, you are the murderer of your father, the criminal who tried to usurp power and rebel. Why wouldn't I dare to follow the princess' orders?”
Zhou Tuoba raised his head and stared at Yun Zi Huang. Princess Tai Ping ate a mouthful of food, a mouthful of rice, and a mouthful of soup, eating happily.
”Zi Huang, you're actually treating me like this. Could it be that you have forgotten our feelings?”
”A few copper coins a catty for affection?” ”Can you eat it?”
She smilingly asked as she gently wiped the corner of her lips with a silk handkerchief. Then, she glanced at Zhou Tuoyi before continuing with her meal. The world was big and her stomach was the largest. It seemed like her cheap dad had not eaten breakfast yet. It was unknown if he had the time to eat the breakfast that she sent over.
”Zi Huang …”
Without waiting for him to finish, Yun Zihuang lightly said: ”Slap him.”
Nian Liu hastily raised her hand and gave Zhou Tuoyi two resounding slaps. Then, she bowed and said in a low voice, ”Your servant has failed her duty. Princess, please forgive me.”
These two slaps were quite powerful, and it caused Zhou Tuoba's eyes to be filled with golden stars as his head swayed back and forth. If it wasn't for the one on the left and the one on the right being very balanced, he would have fallen down. Her originally handsome face had turned purple and swollen. Dark red blood dripped from the corner of her lips.
”If you dare address the princess by her name again, I will not forgive you.”
Nian Liu's crisp voice entered his ears, filled with hatred and rage. Since he was currently a prisoner, he could only allow a lowly servant to humiliate him like this.
Tie Gang Ying lowered his head and ate in silence, pretending that he had not seen anything. He had heard with his own ears that the prince had handed over the former crown prince to the princess, allowing her to punish him as she pleased. The prince was obviously favoring the princess and was using his power to seek personal gains so that the princess could take revenge.
”Kill me!”
Zhou Tuoba shouted in anger, his eyes full of hatred and killing intent.
”Why are you playing after I killed you?”
Yun Zihuang smiled lightly and drank the soup: ”Old Tie, this soup tastes pretty good. Drink more.”
”Thank you, Princess.”
