She slightly regretted choosing him

Shen Tianfeng went to the prison, and the guards inside saw him hurriedly lined up in two neat rows. The second most powerful person in this princess's residence is Shen Tianfeng. Of course, he is an effective minion of the princess. Of course, they also have to respect him. Shen Tianfeng went inside. A prison guard led him to the place of the assassin who was arrested the day before. The people in the prison are indeed not ashamed of being trained by Man Tianyun and are also very ruthless in their actions. The dead assassin didn't close his eyes because he had no more irises to close. The assassin's eyes were poked blind, and the blood dried up and closed in large patches. The tip of his tongue was cut off. Just opening his mouth would make the blood flow like a small waterfall, unable to form a scab. On the assassin's body, there was only flesh and blood left, no shape could be seen. But, this is not enough! In order to warn the Prime Minister's residence, they still had to do one more thing. Shen Tianfeng waved a guard over, telling the soldier to prepare five good horses. He will represent the head princess and send a meaningful gift to Li Yan.

A group of horses stopped in front of the prime minister's residence. The scene was so noisy that even the people living nearby had to come out to see what was going on. Shen Tianfeng dismounted. He did not step inside but asked the guard to call Li Yan to receive the gift from the head of the princess. The idea of Tiando, the power that he holds in his hand, can even be put on par with that of Man Tianyun. He is a man with ambition, power, and money. That is what Li Yan aims for his whole life. Li Yan regards the Man Tianyun sisters as a thorn in the flesh and wishes he could spit it out soon. He walked slowly as if the title of the princess of Man Tianyun did not make him hurry. Shen Tianfeng was not in a hurry. He held the sword in his hand, waiting for Li Yan to step outside.

"Lord Prime Minister."

Shen Tianfeng kept the rules. He knelt down on one knee and respectfully bowed to the president of Tiando. Li Yan looked around. Just now, the old housekeeper said that the head princess brought the gift to him, causing Li Yan to stand still, impatient to know what it was. Although he said that his style was a bit relaxed, even a bit lazy, what Man Tianyun specially sent also made Li Yan's heart laugh.

"There is no need to rush the prime minister. The head princess said, "If you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it."

Shen Tianfeng pursed his lips. He let the two guards pull the wooden plank in front of Li Yan and then flipped the black cloth that was covering the wooden plank. A scream rang out, disturbing the normally quiet space. On the wooden plank, the corpse of the assassin was not intact, broken by the five horses. Even the fresh blood was still dripping onto the board. Shen Tianfeng smiled. He leaned to the side and said that the princess's residence sent gifts. What it means, Li Yan must have understood. Shen Tianfeng and the others left, and in an instant, Li Yan couldn't keep his composure. The old man was so angry that he blushed. His teeth clenched together. How could he not know Man Tianyun's meaning? Originally, he was taking the opportunity to serve Shen Thien Phong's orders to go out to work so that he could easily assassinate Man Tianyun, who expected to receive bitter fruit. The old butler hurriedly told the servants to quickly remove the unsightly corpse, then quickly helped Li Yan back into the prime minister's residence. Li Yan is also old and sees something unclean like this, more or less scared for fear that he can't stand it.

Man Tianyun lifted a cup of freshly brewed lotus tea and slowly took a sip. The sweet taste of the tea makes her feel much more comfortable. For some reason, she's been feeling uncomfortable lately. She didn't understand why she was so upset. The veil was lifted, it was Mo Xuanqing. He walked in with a plate of the afternoon's breakfast in his hand. If Man Tianyun was not happy, without her permission, why did he dare to step into her palace?

"Did you know that entering my room arbitrarily will be punished with a cane?"

Man Tianyun frowned. She lazily put down the book in her hand. Her sharp phoenix eyes looked at Mo Xuanqing. He didn't say anything. His taciturn demeanour made her even more uncomfortable. What kind of person will say if they ask, but if they don't ask, they will be as silent as a corpse? She regrets it. She regrets choosing this wooden head to be her bodyguard by her side.

"I am destined to bring this freshly made snack to the princess. Earlier, I was standing outside near an incense stick, but the princess still would not agree to enter. I apologise to the princess! The only thing is that breakfast is freshly made, cooling will not be delicious anymore. That's why I dared to step in here. Please forgive me, princess!"

Man Tianyun also wanted to scold one or two more sentences. Who would have thought that when she turned around, she was the wrong one? Is she difficult to please, not agreeing to let people enter the palace? Was Mo Xuanqing with good intentions to bring her snack, but it was she who was to blame for not letting him in? Man Tianyun was angry. Her two mounds were red and pink. She said nothing more, just reached for a cake and took a bold bite. The sweet taste of milk powder made Man Tianyun dumbfounded. She had never had a snack like this before.

"This snack, who made it?"

Man Tianyun looked at Mo Xuanqing standing. His eyes did not show too much emotion. He looked at her expression and for a moment couldn't guess the meaning of the question. His heart was in turmoil. Is it possible that the taste of this snack dish is not suitable for Man Tianyun?

"Your Highness, it was made by me. This snack is a type of cake that is often sold in my homeland, so I ventured to try it for the princess. If the princess doesn't like it, I will throw it away immediately."

"It's not like I don't like it either."

"Man Tianyun said proudly, bringing with her usual laziness. Mo Xuanqing slightly frowned, then quickly lost his expression. When he saw the head princess taking another snack to eat, in his heart, he guessed that she must also like this dish. Man Tianyun ate another cake and seemed a little upset. It had been a long time since she had eaten such a sweet breakfast. Because as the head princess, even eating is controlled by others. The food is neither too salty nor too sweet. Everything is so frugal that she soon forgets the sweet taste of milk powder. She used to sneak to Yu Shan Fang for a snack when she was younger. But as an adult, she couldn't be so arbitrary anymore. Not to mention, she was the head princess, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

She ate some more snacks and took a sip of tea. On a cold winter day in Tiando, Man Tianyun is afraid of the cold. She was only in the princess's residence, no longer wanting to appear in front of the court. Originally, in the eyes of those people, she was just an elderly princess who abused her power, relying on herself to let go of the regency curtain and then cause a riot if she wanted to. Maybe she really is like that. She has never once vindicated herself. She doesn't care how people look at her. She did not care how they looked at her or how they spoke to her. She lives for herself, not for others!

"Princess, the guard Shen has returned."

Lien Tam stood outside and spoke loudly. They did not dare enter Man Tianyun's room without her permission. Above and below the princess's palace, Mo Xuanqing was the first person who dared enter Man Tianyun's palace without asking her opinion. The maids in the palace were also whispering to each other. It seems that the head princess did not punish him.

"Call him in here. Also, all of you leave. "

Man Tianyun lifted the drooping lapel of her shirt and slowly lifted herself up to sit up. Mo Xuanqing wanted to go out, but he was kept by Man Tianyu. Currently, he is one of the two close bodyguards of the head princess, and he must also learn how to work. Mo Xuanqing did not say much. He stood to one side, to the left of Man Tianyun. When Shen Tianfeng walked in, the two men looked at each other, their brows furrowed as if they were probing each other's thoughts. That action by the two was seen by Man Tianyun. But she was lazy and didn't care, all she wanted to know was if Shen Tianfeng had finished the work she had entrusted to him.
