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.

To torture four servants to death at once, and four beautiful and young servants to death, this was not an ordinary matter. Moreover, the events that had occurred in front of the Marquis' Mansion had already caused an uproar in the capital. Now that the Censorate had caused such a commotion, how could it not become hot news in the capital?

Although Yun Feiyan was the censor, he was only at the third rank. However, such a rank was nothing in the capital. In the government, he also had a political enemy. His greatest political enemy and enemy was undoubtedly his boss, Yue Mutian.

In addition, his daughter was the future secondary wife of the crown prince, so it was unknown how many people were jealous of her. Once Yun Feiyan was stepped on, the censer position would be vacated and someone would be able to step on it. And because of the fall of the Censor Manor, Yun Xianzi did not have the right to be the Crown Prince's secondary concubine. He had a good position that many people were jealous of.

Originally, the Crown Prince could have helped Yun Feiyan, but now that the Crown Prince was confined in the East Palace and was not allowed to go out, the East Palace was sealed and no one could go in.

The current crown prince, Zhou Tuoyi, was unable to protect himself. It was precisely because of the previous incident that he was frustrated to the extreme.

It was very clear that regardless of why the four servants died, it was impossible for Yun Feiyan's original intentions to shirk his responsibility. The four servants were from the Censor Manor. Those that brought the corpses of the four servants out were also servants of the Censor Manor. This was certain. Some said that four of the servants had been tortured to death by Yun Feiyan, while others said that Yun Xiangran had turned angry from embarrassment and tortured four of the servants to death.

"What are your names?"

Yun Zihuang was a little embarrassed, even now she did not know the names of the two maidservants.

"This servant requests the princess to bestow her name upon me."

"You all seemed to have a name."

Her face was a little hot. The two maidservants had just come to pay their respects to her and seemed to have said their names before. However, she didn't take it to heart.

The two maidservants were slightly disappointed. Being given a name by a princess meant that they had obtained the recognition of a princess. Now that the princess refused to give them a name, it was not certain that she would make them stay. If they were driven away by the princess, even if they didn't die, they would still be severely punished.

"Servant Nian Liu, servant Nian Liu, greetings to the princess."

The two maidservants bowed and said their names respectfully. In fact, their names were not unique, but rather a number. Nian Liu was twenty-six. She should have been twenty-six, but for the sake of concealment, she had used the same voice word to replace it. Being a maid beside a princess, her name was Nian Liu, which would not arouse the suspicion of others.

She felt that this name was a little strange, especially when she mentioned the names. She did not ask too much and felt that the names of the two maidservants had nothing to do with her.

"Reporting to Princess, Supreme Cloud's history has been reprimanded by His Majesty. He's been suspended for further investigation. Many people had said that this time, even the history of the Cloud Censor would find it difficult to turn the tables on him. "The second young miss of the Yun Family …"

The two maidservants looked at each other and did not dare to continue. After all, the relationship between the princess and the second young mistress of the Yun family was as good as sisters. They did as they were told.

"So many people died last night. Could it be that this isn't a major event in the capital?"

He smiled and said, "King Jingyuan is indeed worthy of being called a war god. He is awe-inspiring. However, less than an hour after that incident, not even a speck of blood could be seen on the road."

"Did Feng Qingxiao clean it up?"

She was slightly surprised. That Martial Immortal didn't seem like someone who would be willing to work as an sanitation worker.

Nian Liu shook her head. "Of course not."
