Yun Zihuang was very vexed and could only accept the decree. She did not want to enter the palace at all, so in order to avoid anyone's eyes and ears, she feigned a limp in front of the Cloud Gale Lotus and sealed off the manor. After all, she was not the original owner. Even after receiving the original owner's memories, it was impossible for her to merge them all into her own in such a short period of time.

In the house of the Marquis, she was a princess and was one of the owners of the house. Yun Fei was in a coma from her injuries, she could almost rule the entire house of the Marquis. Even if something were to happen, all the servants in the house wouldn't dare to say a single word, let alone ask her anything. The reason she didn't want the original maidservants to serve her was because she didn't want the newly sent maidservants to stay by her side. It was because she didn't want anyone to notice the many differences between her and the original owner.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Yun Zhao had added fuel to the fire, she would've been the temporary boss of the manor now.

She didn't mind Yun Zhao seizing power and even going so far as to imprison her, because this way she would be able to appear less often and leave all the troubles of the manor to Yun Zhao.

After all, she was just a passerby and did not care about the rights to be the host of the house. The reason she was staying here temporarily was because she did not have a better place to go to. The Marquis' Mansion was also one of the first entrances in the Tianyuan Kingdom. Here, she could have more time and convenience to find a way to return.

"Uncle Cheng, is there any way to avoid entering the palace?"

Yun Shoucheng was a little doubtful, "Why is the princess unwilling to enter the palace? "The empress has always doted on the princess and also bestowed many rewards upon her. According to the rules, the princess should enter the palace to thank the empress."

"You don't need to ask me why. Do you have any methods to prevent me from entering the palace?"

The more familiar the original owner was with the royal family, the more she didn't want to enter the palace. Everyone in the palace was intelligent, so it would be bad if any flaws were discovered. Furthermore, both the Yunfei Peak and the original owner's miserable fates were caused by the crown prince. The empress was the crown prince's mother, so it was hard to say whether this had anything to do with the empress. Furthermore, she needed to respectfully kneel and bow before the imperial family in this world. This was something that was difficult to accept.

With all these reasons combined, she was definitely unwilling to enter the palace.

Yun Shoucheng frowned. "When the empress heard that the princess twisted her leg, she sent a personal maid to attend to her and even prepared a sedan chair. "If not for this, we could have used this excuse to prevent her from entering the palace. But now that the princess doesn't want to enter, only Master Hou …"

He only said half of the last sentence, and did not finish it as he pondered.

"This is a good idea. You'll have to do this later …"

She leaned over and whispered into Yun Shoucheng's ear for a moment. Then, someone carried her to the front to receive the letter of gratitude.

Just as the palace maid was urging Yun Zi Feng to enter the palace, a person in the distance frantically shouted, "Princess, Princess, Marquis … "Master Hou …"

She made a face. "What happened to my father? Say it. "

"Your Lordship might be …"

The servant hurriedly ran over and kneeled on the ground, lowering his head. After saying half a sentence, he did not dare to continue speaking.

"Ah …"

Yun Zihuang immediately commanded the two hidden guards who were carrying her, "Quick, carry me to my father's room!"

The Hidden Guard lifted her up and flew to the dormitory on the peak of the cloud.

The imperial edict and palace maids looked at each other. The palace maid called out to the princess a few times, but Yun Zihuang naturally did not reply. The hidden guards were all experts out of a hundred, they had long disappeared from everyone's line of sight. The imperial edict and palace maids could only discuss in hushed tones, it seemed as if the valiant marquis was about to die. At such a time, it was impossible to announce Princess Taiping to the palace. They could only send someone back to report and leave behind people to listen to the news.

In an instant, the manor was in a state of chaos and gloom. Everyone wore a sorrowful expression as they hurried about. No one paid any attention to them as they left behind a message for the people in the palace.

The eunuchs that were left behind had no way out. They were obstructed in the outer court and had no way of entering the rear courtyard. Even if no one stopped him, a lowly little eunuch like him in the Marquis Mansion would absolutely not dare to enter the backyard without permission. If it had been another residence, then it would have been fine. This was the manor of a first-rate Marquis of the capital, the residence of a first rank Minister. He was so anxious that he could only stretch his neck, hoping to obtain some information regarding the Marquis' injuries.

At this moment, within the study room of the house of the Marquis, Yun Zihuang was holding a summit.

The participants included the personal guard commander Yun Zhao, the guard commander, and so on. They were all Yun Fei's most trusted confidants, and of course Yun Shoucheng's most trusted steward was present as well.

"Everyone, please express your opinions. Our rules are to unite with the outside world. Our goal is to never let the enemy off the hook!"

Yun Zhao and the others looked at each other. They couldn't help but smile when they heard the princess' words. This was also the first time a few people had smiled and felt relaxed after Yun Fei had been heavily injured. They were all looking at Yun Zihuang with grateful and admiring eyes. No matter what the princess was like in the past, ever since she had returned from the Hundred Blossom Poetry Meet, she had first saved the Marquis. They were very satisfied with her subsequent performance.

"Tell me first, why did that esteemed empress summon me?"

She wasn't sure if this matter was part of the plot, but the people here would definitely be able to deduce something.

The several high ranking officials of the house of the Marquis who participated in the summit analyzed everything from Yun Fei's injury to Yun Zihuang's experience at the Hundred Blossom Poetry Meet.

It could be described as full of conspiracy and killing intent!

This was because the person presiding over the meeting was the princess, not Yun Feifeng. This princess had always been an outspoken and disrespectful person. The current Yun Zihuang had even more affinity than the original owner, and his brain was countless times better. His way of reasoning was bold and unrestrained, so Yun Zhao and the others were very bold and casual.

In the end, the same question was raised by the upper echelons. That was, why did the crown prince, Zhou Tuoba, have to be so ruthless towards Yun Fei?

Of course, Yun Zhao and the others had already analyzed all sorts of possibilities before, at three hundred and sixty degrees with no blind spots. There was still no reasonable explanation for their interests.

With regards to this point, Yun Zihuang remained silent. She finally understood why Feng Qingxiao had insisted on chasing Yun Zhao out of the palace. After that, he had whispered the reason behind the crown prince's actions. She was even more clear that if Yun Zhao and the others knew of this true reason, although they wouldn't do anything to her, who had almost caused Yun Fei's death, they would definitely have a huge grudge in their hearts.

The cold, heartless, and extremely skilled War God King was quite a good figure.

In her heart, she once again gave Feng Qingxiao a favorable comment, "Our esteemed crown prince has taken a fancy to the imperial guards."

These words, which had originally been meant to divert the attention of others, had been acknowledged by everyone after careful analysis by Yun Zhao and the others. Yun Zhao had even concluded that the Crown Prince couldn't wait to sit on the throne, so he wanted to make use of this opportunity to kill Yun Fei and take control of the imperial guards.
