"Princess."

Yun Shoucheng repeatedly sent Yun Zihuang meaningful glances, hinting that she had something to say. She, who was looking at the patients, smiled and instructed the patients a few times before walking out.

"Princess, the Empress has sent someone to the house of the Marquis to summon the princess into the palace."

"What's the best way to get out of the palace this time?"

The old steward frowned. "I'm afraid they have no choice but to enter the palace. The princess' excuse last time probably aroused the emperor's suspicions. How could anyone disobey the empress's summons? Princess, there's no need to worry. The empress won't make things difficult for you.

She sighed secretly. The reason why she wasn't willing to enter the palace was because there were too many rules in the palace. If she wasn't careful, she could make a mistake. Even if she hadn't made any mistakes, it was inevitable that someone would have plotted against her. From the information she had gathered, especially from the harem, it could be said that each and every step was extremely shocking.

"Uncle Cheng, the empress asked me to enter the palace at this time. What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, Zhao Dehai came to visit the house of the Marquis to report to the emperor. The Marquis' injuries were severe and festering, and he was on the verge of death. Currently, several days had passed, but there was no news from the marquis' residence. It was inconvenient for the emperor to ask directly. Only the empress was ordered to summon the princess to the palace to inquire about the news. "I'm afraid this is only the first step. The Emperor will also send his imperial physician to treat Master Hou. This matter is rather troublesome."

"If the Emperor sends an imperial physician, it would be really troublesome. Father, what do you mean?"

"The Marquis wants the princess to go."

For several days, she didn't show her face in front of the Cloud Peak, lest she expose herself in front of this cheap father. As for how Yun Fei Feng's injuries were healing, of course she did not need to personally check it. She had already placed a surveillance device on Yun Fei's peak. She could check her father's stats and condition in her room at any time.

"Can we have the empress's men wait?"

Yun Shoucheng smiled and said, "The people sent by the empress are still quite a distance away from the house of the Marquis. I haven't seen the princess for a few days. The marquis misses them greatly."

She understood the meaning behind the words of the old housekeeper. He was secretly scolding her for not visiting her heavily injured father for several days. It's not that she didn't want to go, but she was worried that her lucky father would see through her. She smiled wryly in her heart and could only sigh as she said, "Daddy recovers very quickly. He can move around already and it won't be long before he recovers completely. I can't help with anything else, but I can at least help with the treatment of everyone, so everyone will remember the kindness father has shown them. "

The old butler consoled him and nodded his head, "The princess has been working hard these past few days. The imperial guards and the marquis' residence have been busy all day. Who wouldn't be grateful to the princess for her benevolence? The princess had thought that the old servant was stupid enough to find it hard to understand. I hope that the princess can forgive me. "

"Uncle Cheng, it's a good thing that you've been busy these past few days. Only then will the Hou Mansion be safe and orderly."

"Zi Huang, come and sit down and drink a bowl of lotus seed soup. Look at how tired you have become these days."

As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the courtyard gate on top of the Yunfei Peak. He was half lying on the bed, squinting under the big tree in the courtyard, smiling as he greeted Yun Zihuang.

"Father."

She let out a cry. When she first addressed Yun Fei as his peak, she felt extremely awkward. After all, she had never called anyone that before, so she had finally gotten used to it.

"Quickly, sit down and try out this lotus seed soup. It was made from the best red lotus seeds, sheets, and silver ears."

"Thank you, father."

Following the etiquette of this era, she bowed respectfully and smiled, "Father's complexion is rosy. It's a good thing that he has recovered so quickly."

"It's all thanks to my good daughter. Otherwise, I'm afraid that father would have …"

"Don't speak nonsense!"

She pouted her lips, pretending to look like an innocent young girl. She felt a chill in her heart as she realized that she was a real adult in her time on Earth. Furthermore, she was from the race known as the 'Holy Maiden'. However, the original owner was not even eighteen years old yet. He was really a young and tender loli.

Yun Fei smiled as he picked up the lotus seed soup: "Quickly drink, it will get cold in a moment."

She took a sip. It was sweet, smooth, and extremely tasty. It emitted a faint fragrance.

"Zi Feng, the empress has sent someone to announce you to the palace. This time, you can't be excluded." The last time Zhao Dehai came to visit, he went back to report to the emperor, saying that my injuries could not be cured, and that I was in danger of dying. A few days have passed, and I'm afraid the Emperor is suspicious. "

Yun Fei's handsome face was frozen. Thinking about how he was ambushed by the crown prince and almost died, he could not help but feel infuriated. For so many years, his father had served the imperial court for all his life, served the emperor, and even betrothed his precious daughter to the crown prince. He was extremely loyal to the Emperor, but he didn't expect this would be the final result!

He had always respected the crown prince and thought of him in every possible way. However, he had never expected that the crown prince had the intention to seize the military power of the imperial guards and did not hesitate to use such a despicable and shameless method to kill him!

Once he was seriously injured and unable to be cured, even if the manor didn't fall, it was likely that he wouldn't be able to keep his position as Marquis of Bravery. As for the royal guards, they were about to be taken away by the crown prince. Of course, as his daughter, Yun Zihuang didn't have the backing of the house of the Marquis, so how could she be worthy of being the Crown Prince's consort?

With a cold gaze, Yun Fei's body emitted a chilling killing intent, and his face sank.

The Crown Prince was so vicious and despicable. If he really became the emperor, the duke's household would probably not leave even a single dog alive!

He did not know that the reason why the crown prince, Zhou Tuoyi, had secretly harmed him was not because of the imperial guards, but to prevent Yun Zihuang from being the crown prince's consort, hoping to set up the cloud lotus as the crown prince's consort. As for Yun Zihuang, in Zhou Tuoba's heart, if he were to join the Eastern Palace as a secondary wife, it would be equivalent to giving a great favor to both the Marquis' Mansion and Yun Zihuang.

Of course, Zhou Tuoyi would never let go of the authority of the royal guards. No one would be able to take away the position of crown prince if he was in control of the royal guards.

As Yun Zihuang listened to her father's words, in her heart, she once again silently thanked Feng Qingxiao. Right now, even her father did not know that the devoted crown prince had only attacked him for the sake of that lotus flower, the White Lotus!

"Zi Huang, right now in your heart, your highness the crown prince …"

Of course, he knew that his daughter had always been in love with the crown prince. Even though the crown prince had always doted on her, he had treated her coldly. Not only did she not complain, her daughter had always been unwilling to be wronged, but she even used this matter to please the crown prince.

His daughter had worked too hard recently. Not only had she saved him, but she had also used her peerless medical skills to wholeheartedly plan for the house of the Marquis. She had also cut off all connections with the crown prince. However, he was worried that his daughter was still worried about the crown prince. If that was the case, then he was in a dilemma!
