Nian Liu patted her chest. "This servant's heart is on the verge of bursting out of her chest. If the princess were to enter the palace at this time, the odds are against her."

He nodded again and again. "The War God is truly mighty and domineering, he didn't even open the gates to the imperial edict. Fortunately, the prince is here, otherwise, he would be in great danger."

"That's right. In the entire imperial court, only the prince would dare to do such a thing. The princess should go pay her respects and thank him."

Yun Zihuang lightly said: "If he can't even do that, I wasted my life saving him, and also have so many Iron Guards' lives. Speaking of which, it should be him who owes me, but it should be him who comes to thank me."

The two maidservants were speechless at the same time. Let King Jingyuan pay his respects to the princess?

It was only they, the princesses, who were so confident. They didn't even think about the huge gap between them.

The two looked at each other and exchanged glances. From the looks of it, their princess would definitely not thank the prince. Nian Bing turned to Liu Wan'er and said, "Princess, this servant will take your place and thank the Prince. After all, this is a big matter of disobeying orders, and the Prince is doing this for the sake of the Princess."

"Go."

Nian Liu was pleasantly surprised and was about to leave in place of the princess to thank the king when she heard the princess say, "There's no need for you to come back. Stay by Prince Jingyuan's side and wait upon him. I don't need anyone else around."

"Plop …"

Nian Liu kneeled heavily on the ground in fright. "Peng, peng, peng …" She kowtowed nonstop and said with a trembling voice, "This servant knows her wrongs. This servant deserves to die. Please, this princess will severely punish this servant."

"There's nothing to punish. Since you want to serve King Jingyuan, then go."

"This servant has committed a capital crime, a capital crime …" "Bang, bang, bang …"

This time, after Liu Ming said this, he could only kowtow repeatedly. He did not even dare to speak words of pleading.

Nian Bing knelt down and lowered his head to think about how he could help Nian Bing beg for mercy.

"Stop kowtowing, I'm tired of listening."

Nian Liu's face was pale. When she raised her head, her forehead was already full of bruises. She raised her head to look at Yun Zi Huang and said, "Yes, your servant deserves to die. I do not dare to beg the princess for forgiveness."

"You don't need to die to serve King Jingyuan."

Nian Bing's expression changed as he looked pleadingly at Princess Hua-Yang, but he did not dare make a sound to help Nian Bing. The princess had a calm expression and her gaze and tone were indifferent. There was no anger in her at all. That was exactly the case, and the pressure it brought to the two of them was even greater. Their hearts were filled with fear and reverence.

Nian Liu clenched her fists and bowed her head respectfully three times. "Princess, please forgive me for not being able to serve you any longer. Your servant has left."

As she spoke, she raised her hand. A cold light flashed in her hand as she pierced towards her neck.

Yun Zihuang hurriedly kicked out, landing right on Nian Liu's elbow. Nian Liu's arm felt numb and was in great pain. Her arm immediately fell limply to the ground. The flash of cold light in her hand also fell to the ground. It was a very small and sharp dagger.

Nian Bing hurriedly kowtowed and mournfully said, "Please be merciful Princess. Nian Bing has offended you, so he should be punished. Please do not throw her out."

When she heard this, she once again kowtowed heavily to the ground. "This servant has spoken without mercy, offending the princess is unforgivable, this servant is the princess's slave, and death is the princess's ghost. I beg the princess to be merciful, don't send this slave to the prince, bam bam …"

She kowtowed as she recited, "I beg the princess to severely punish Nian Liu and grant her another chance."

She was stunned as she looked at the two little girls kneeling in front of her, kowtowing nonstop.

These two little girls were slightly younger than her, but their martial arts were quite good. The last time he had watched the show with Feng Qingxiao, when they were assassinated, the two of them were still loli's little girls. They took advantage of this opportunity to kill quite a few assassins. At that time, she could tell that these two little girls had undergone strict training since childhood, so they should also be part of the hidden guards.

With such great skill and looks, she felt that even though these two little girls were still young, they should still be able to survive wherever they went.

Now, two smart and skillful little girls were kneeling in front of her, kowtowing and begging. When Nian Liu heard that she was going to be sent to King Jingyuan, she was so scared that she committed suicide. If it wasn't for her quick movements, this delicate little girl would be a corpse now.

Nian Liu cried, "This servant doesn't dare to ask the princess for forgiveness. This servant shouldn't have ended it here. If I dirty the princess' room, this servant will leave and make a decision."

"Princess, please show mercy. I beg of you …" He kept kowtowing to her.

"Stop, all of you, get up."

The two hastily stopped kowtowing and straightened their bodies. Their foreheads were covered in bruises. Nian Liu's forehead, due to the excessive force of the kowtow, had ruptured. Fresh blood flowed out from their foreheads. She did not dare to raise her hand to wipe it away. She lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyes, allowing the blood to flow incessantly from her forehead onto her face and down again.

"Read it, disinfect and bandage her forehead."

"Understood."

Nian Bing hurriedly grabbed the disinfectant and half knelt in front of Nian Liu to disinfect her.

Liu Hanyi said, "This slave deserves to die. I beg the princess to severely punish this slave. I only ask that the princess not send this slave out, throw her out."

Yun Zihuang was stunned again. What she hated the most was betrayal, so when Nian Liu said those words, he clearly betrayed her and stood by Feng Qingxiao's side. She was indeed furious, so she told Nian Liu to leave and not come back to wait upon King Jingyuan. At first, she thought that this was not bad. Nian Liu could follow Feng Qingxiao, and she didn't need to use him by her side. With someone with an elbow pointed outwards, she never would have thought that the two little girls would be so frightened.

Looking at Nian Liu's trembling body, her frightened eyes, and her respectful expression, she could not help but ponder.

A few small matters that she had intentionally overlooked, the rules of etiquette and laws that belonged to the Tianyuan Kingdom that she did not like appeared in her mind at this moment.

She recalled that not long ago, there were a few young girls who had been beaten to death by the Censorate. Now that she mentioned it, they had some connection with her. She was not the Virgin Mary, and she did not want to die because of a few things that had happened. She believed that she was guilty, or that she was the murderer. At that time, she only had the slightest bit of retaliation towards Yun Chihuo. At the same time, she had been a spy around her for a long time, constantly passing her information and the matters of the duke's manor to the spies of Yun Chihuo's maidservants to return to her.

In the Hundred Blossom Poetry Meet, the original owner's death was closely related to these maidservants' spies.

It was beyond her expectations that the Censor's manor would kill these few little girls. However, she would not forget that even though something huge had happened in front of the manor's entrance, a few fresh and young lives with wounds all over their bodies were not able to bring about any sort of punishment for it.

In this world, the difference between the upper and lower class was like heaven and earth!

"This slave knows her wrongs. I beg the princess to grant this slave a death sentence. Bang, bang, bang!" As Liu Ming sobbed, he began kowtowing again.
