The princess, with her graceful figure and stunning beauty, unexpectedly issued the shocking command for the Shadow Guard to bathe with her.
Xin Yao's eyes widened in disbelief and embarrassment upon hearing this.
He knew all too well that as a Shadow Guard, there was no possibility of defying his master's orders, yet this time, his hands felt as if they were bound by an immobilizing spell, refusing to move.
He had never imagined he would face such an awkward and humiliating situation—being naked in the same pool as his master was more terrifying to him than death itself. His heart churned like turbulent waves.
However, Xin Yao's flustered and shy thoughts seemed to take flight, reaching Yun Qingyu's ears.
Yun Qingyu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion rising within her before she seemed to understand. Perhaps the original owner harbored this peculiar ability all along, or perhaps her senses had inexplicably sharpened, as if a mysterious force had opened them, allowing her to hear his thoughts so clearly.
"Does he think I want to drown him? Ha, this Little Guy has quite the inner drama. But it's no wonder; anyone would think that given the original owner's way of doing things." Yun Qingyu tilted her head slightly, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of her lips.
The original owner was notorious for being capricious and cruel, employing all manner of torturous methods that were well-known throughout the Western Qi Royal Family and among the common folk.
Yun Qingyu slowly turned around, a flicker of impatience flashing in her jewel-like black eyes. Her clear voice carried an undeniable authority as she called out loudly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come down to massage This Palace's shoulders!"
Her voice echoed in the bathroom, carrying an invisible pressure.
Xin Yao, who was struggling to undress, froze at the command, surprise filling his eyes.
The tension that had been taut within him suddenly eased a little. "So my master didn't mean to kill me just now."
He gritted his teeth and continued to remove his shirt, revealing a solid back covered in crisscrossing scars, each one a vivid testament to the trials and tribulations of time, starkly visible and shocking.
He cautiously approached Yun Qingyu, his long fingers gently parting the princess's silken hair. His brow furrowed slightly, as if feeling a twinge of nervousness, before he slowly began to knead her shoulders.
What he had experienced today felt like a bizarre dream; the princess before him seemed like a different person entirely, contrasting sharply with her previous tyrannical image.
Yun Qingyu seemed to sense his thoughts and silently responded within her heart: "Isn't it just like I've become a different person?"
She pondered quietly. If the original owner had possessed the ability to read others' thoughts, with her unparalleled martial skills and unmatched status, combined with Xin Yao, a loyal and powerful shadow guard, she should have been able to command respect across the Nine Provinces Continent.
But who could have imagined that she would be manipulated by that treacherous scoundrel, ending up in such a tragic fate? It seemed that this ability had not been utilized effectively in the hands of the original owner.
Lost in thought, Xin Yao suddenly heard the princess call his name. His body jolted as if struck by lightning, and he instinctively knelt in the bath with a splash, water scattering around him.
Yun Qingyu looked at him with an indifferent expression, her eyes radiating confidence as she calmly instructed, "Xin Yao, spread the news that Lu Mingzhan has been punished at Princess Manor and is now on the brink of death. Make sure all officials are aware of this matter concerning Qingyun. Tomorrow, return to the Hidden Pavilion and select a few capable shadow guards from there."
Upon hearing this, Xin Yao felt as if he had been granted a reprieve. He hurriedly rose from the bath, clumsily putting on his clothes and escaping from this uncomfortable place as if being chased by some terrifying beast.
Yun Qingyu quietly watched him leave, her gaze deep and complex as if contemplating some significant decision. In her heart, she vowed: "Now that I have become Yun Qingyu, I must take on the responsibilities that come with this identity and change the original owner's fate."
