”Princess, if you lynch me like this, the civil and military officials of the imperial court will not let you off!”

In the end, he no longer dared to directly call Yun Zihuang by her name. He humiliated called her ”Princess” and slightly lowered his eyelids, fully aware that doing the right thing would only humiliate him. He secretly thought, how could he use this request to move Yun Zihuang and protect her little life. Killing a king and murdering his father was a heavy crime, but if this stupid girl was willing to do everything she could to protect him, then she might not necessarily die.

”What can the civil and military do to this princess? Even if I were to kill you, they wouldn't be able to produce a single fart. Even if they did, do you think it would be useful? ”

The corners of Tie Gang Ying's lips twitched. The princess' words were so crude. Where did she get the slightest bit of a lady from?

However, he felt that it was very pleasing to the ears. This was true nature, without the feigned posturing of those noble ladies in the capital.

Zhou Tuoyi was stunned, he stared blankly at Yun Zi Huang. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this silly girl that he had once been so familiar with and hated at the same time, was very strange, as though he had never seen her before. Initially, in his heart, the ugly and vulgar, unruly, and foolish Princess Taiping had, at this moment, brought forth unmatched beauty, which he unexpectedly found beautiful.

Even when she lazily leaned against the chair, she was still so charming, causing him to have a strange feeling.

”Am I beautiful?”

Her smile was full of flirtatiousness, and she even threw a flirtatious glance at Zhou Tuoyi.

”Beauty, are you really Yun Zihuang?”

”Pa Pa Pa …”

Three consecutive slaps landed heavily on Zhou Tuoyi's face. Blood gushed out from his nose and mouth. He was furious and glared at Nian Liu, wanting to say something. Seeing Nian Liu's merciless gaze, he could not help but tighten her lips. She did not dare to say anything.

”Kowtow and beg for forgiveness to the princess!”

As Nian Liu spoke, she grabbed Zhou Tuoyi's hair and forced him to lower his head. She then forcefully knocked Zhou Tuoyi's head against the ground, and said in a muffled voice, ”The more you call out the princess' name, the more you will kowtow to her. If you dare call out the princess' name again, the punishment will be doubled!”

”Bang, bang, bang …”

He struggled, his hands tied behind him. How could he break free? His head slammed heavily into the ground, the pain was still secondary. The immense feeling of humiliation made him wish that he could immediately dismember this little servant girl's corpse.

Tie Gang Ying lowered his head and focused his attention on the rice grains in his bowl, pretending that he did not hear anything. He did not see anything. Who asked this despicable former crown prince to offend the princess?

If the crown prince had not done those things, how could he have ended up in such a sorry state?

Yun Zihuang said while beaming: ”Your Highness is still not fully awake yet, quickly wake up Your Highness up.”

”Understood.”

Nian Bing picked up a bucket of water and placed it in front of Zhou Tuoyi. Nian Liu grabbed his hair and pushed his head under the water. Zhou Tuo Si struggled with all his might. The suffocating feeling made him extremely terrified, but he could not resist at all. He felt a dull pain in his chest and couldn't breathe any more. Icy cold water poured into his mouth and nose.

After a long while, Nian Liu picked up Zhou Tuoyi. His mouth was wide open as she breathed in deeply. She looked extremely terrified.

This went on for more than a dozen times, and a thick, stinky stench began to drift out. Zhou Tuo Jiang was no longer able to control himself.

”Stop.”

”Whooosh.”

He inhaled deeply, and upon realizing that he had lost control of himself, he became extremely humiliated and angry to the extreme. He glared fiercely at Yun Zihuang: ”If you have the guts, then kill this hall!”

”Bring the empress and the other prisoners here. Have a look at His Highness the crown prince.”

”No, no, you can't …”

Seeing Yun Zihuang's seemingly innocent and innocent smile, he finally lowered her head and kowtowed, ”Princess, I beg of you to be merciful …”
