I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

The Princess's Mansion, Jinyun Garden.

In the morning, Bai Jinzhi only returned home after Her Royal Highness the Princess left the house to attend court.

He secretly entered through the side door, returned to his yard, changed his clothes, and sat on the stone table in the yard.

The table was filled with food. Black Hawk dismissed all the outsiders in the yard and poured tea for Bai Jinzhi himself.

Black Hawk said, "Master, I just received news that County Master Xiao is now safe."

Bai Jinzhi seemed a little surprised, "Is it really that simple? Can the treatment be cured?"

Black Hawk nodded, "Yes, last night the three miracle doctors went in and within an hour, they were done, without a drop of blood being shed."

Bai Jinzhi picked up the cup with his slender fingers and put it to his lips, as if thinking about something. It was so simple, and it healed. It seemed that the injury was not serious to begin with. Maybe there was another hidden secret.

Bai Jinzhi, "There's been some trouble in the outskirts of the city lately. Mo Han, have you arranged for the manpower?"

Black Hawk said, "Master, the Royal Villa is full of His Majesty's men, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess's men are guarding the perimeter. I don't think it will be easy for His Royal Highness Prince Mo to be harmed."

In fact, Black Hawk was very unhappy, and he deliberately sent some newcomers to guard Bai Mohan.

He didn't like Bai Mohan. This man stole his master's wife and was so scheming. He was really hateful.

Bai Jinzhi stood up and said, "That's good. You haven't slept all night. Call me at noon."

Black Hawk saluted respectfully, "Yes."

After saying that, he went towards the bedroom.

At the gate of the palace,

Seeing Her Royal Highness leaving the palace, Duke Feng and General Xue stepped forward to pay their respects, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Feng Zhaoyun walked slowly to the carriage and got on. "Get up, we're leaving immediately."

The two were outside, "Yes."

The team left the palace gate and headed towards the city gate.

Feng Zhaoyun leaned sideways in the car, and Jiuyi followed beside it on horseback.

Jiuyi lifted the carriage curtain and whispered, "Your Highness, County Master Xiao's eyes have recovered. The three miracle doctors have sent her back to the palace."

Feng Zhaoyun slowly opened his eyes, "Those who went out last night will be severely punished."

Jiuyi was slightly stunned, then nodded, and then said, "We were about to succeed last night, but were stopped by another force. The leader was really powerful, and we, the subordinates, were no match for him."

Unbeatable?

There are not many people in the imperial city who can make their own people suffer losses.

As if thinking of something, Feng Zhaoyun slowly closed his eyes again, "Since they have returned to the palace, there is no need to worry about them. Just let them stay in the palace."

Jiu nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."

After driving for an hour, they arrived at the outskirts of the city. There were many places for outings and entertainment near the outskirts of the city, but there was no one there.

Ever since this incident, no one dared to come here anymore.

Arriving at a tea stall, Duke Feng waved his hand to stop, "Pass the order, rest here."

The team stopped, and Duke Feng dismounted and walked to the front of the Crown Princess's carriage. "Your Highness, we have reached the outskirts of the city. We will rest here for the time being. Please alight and have some tea."

The curtain of the car opened and Feng Zhaoyun walked down.

The owner of the carport had naturally seen some dignitaries before. Seeing this team and the fact that they were all led by first-rank officials, she did not dare to neglect them and immediately gave them a warm welcome.

Several people sat down. Feng Zhaoyun and Duke Feng sat at the same table, while General Xue and Jiuyi sat beside them.

Duke Feng personally poured Feng Zhaoyun a cup of tea. Although he maintained superficial respect in his words, Feng Zhaoyun could see that he was arrogant in nature and really disliked her.

She took the tea, took a sip, and sneered inwardly, "What is there for a man to be proud of?" Then she put down the teacup.

Duke Feng looked up at her. The Crown Princess was different now. She was cold and distant, as if she had returned to her original state.

Suddenly Feng Zhaoyun looked at him, "Why are you staring at me, Duke?"

Duke Feng put down his tea bowl and said, "I dare not. I just feel that Your Highness seems different from before."

Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Duke Feng was not afraid of her. He still stood tall and proud, and said, "Your Highness has become much more cold and ruthless now."

Jiuyi was listening and silently gave Duke Feng a thumbs up in his heart for daring to say it directly.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhaoyun was not angry after hearing this, but laughed, "The Duke is right."

Duke Feng hummed inwardly and felt even more proud. Although he looked different from before, he still cared about his reputation and pretended to be a virtuous man.

On the wooden table, Feng Zhaoyun's slender white fingers tapped on the table again and again.

Feng Zhaoyun suddenly stared at Duke Feng, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, causing him to tremble all over...

Feng Zhaoyun spoke gently, "What crime should Duke Feng be punished for making irresponsible remarks about the Crown Princess?"

At this time, everyone who was originally sitting stood up quickly, not daring to speak.

Duke Feng was puzzled. Why did he come here suddenly?

But even so, Duke Feng still sat there, not getting up, not in the least afraid of the princess. "Your Highness, it was you who asked me to have a say, why are you so upset now?"

Feng Zhaoyun became interested and placed his hands on the table. "You are unrepentant and insulted the current princess. This is an even greater crime. Come, arrest the Duke."

Such fluent words...

Only then did Duke Feng become anxious. He stood up and said, "When did this old minister insult you?"

Feng Zhaoyun smiled and looked up at him, "Why don't you take it down!"

After saying that, Jiuyi led his men forward and arrested Duke Feng.

Only then did Duke Feng realize that she was serious. "Your Highness, I was ordered to investigate the case, but now you have arrested me for some random reason. How will you explain this to His Majesty?"

Feng Zhaoyun said, "Then you don't have to worry about it. I won't bother with you. I will spare you thirty lashes."

After saying this, she waved her hand to signal Jiuyi to start the execution.

Duke Feng was forced to kneel on the ground, somewhat annoyed. "Your Highness is so careless as to whip a first-rank official of the imperial court. This is against the law. Aren't you afraid that it will get out and chill the hearts of the ministers?"

As if he had heard a joke, Feng Zhaoyun laughed out loud, "No problem, whoever doesn't obey, I will kill him!"

When Duke Feng heard this, he was shocked...

Then, whip after whip hit Duke Feng on the back.

He held back his voice and remained silent until the thirty lashes were over and his men helped him up.

Feng Zhaoyun watched him nearly fall as he stood up. He propped his chin up and raised his head slightly, acting like a superior. "Why, Duke, are you feeling weak? Do you want to return home to recuperate?"

Duke Feng knew that the current Crown Princess was no longer the same as before. He clasped his fists and said, "This old minister... I dare not."

Feng Zhaoyun said impatiently, "Send the Duke back home, and don't bother me anymore. If you do it again, I won't let you off so easily."

After saying this, Feng Zhaoyun stood up and got on the carriage.

The team set off, leaving only Duke Feng behind...

Everyone present was shocked. Everyone knew that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the Bai brothers were all descendants of Duke Feng. They were obviously family, so why did he do this?

Only Jiuyi knew that not only Duke Feng, but Lord Bai had been beaten several times.

When the team arrived at the farmer's house where the accident happened, they found that the whole family had been massacred by the criminals. The house was dilapidated and empty.

As soon as Feng Zhaoyun got off the carriage, the county magistrate in charge of the nearby villages arrived. The magistrate, along with the village chief, quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Feng Zhaoyun didn't say anything. Jiuyi stepped forward and said, "Her Highness is investigating a case. No one is allowed to approach."

After saying this, General Xue ordered his men to surround the place.

The county magistrate and the village chief knelt on the ground, not daring to stand up.

Feng Zhaoyun walked in and after taking a look around, he said, "The traces of fighting left here were not left by bandits."

Feng Zhaoyun looked and asked, "Where has Feng Yaoxue been these days?"

Jiuyi, "Feng Yaoxue was lost a few days ago and her whereabouts are unknown."

Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "But why did she order the killing of this family and attract the attention of the court? Isn't this courting death?"

Walking to a table and chair, Feng Zhaoyun gently swept the dust off the chair and said, "Call in the two people outside."

Jiuyi said, "Yes." Then he walked out and saw the two men still kneeling.

Jiuyi, "Her Royal Highness invites you."

The county magistrate was startled. This was the first time she met the princess. She quickly stood up, straightened her clothes, and wiped the sweat from her face.

The village chief also followed him in.

When the two saw Feng Zhaoyun sitting in the room, they knelt down immediately and said, "Your humble servants, we pay our respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the two of them and asked, "What crime should you be held responsible for massacring the people under your jurisdiction?"

The county magistrate was terrified and kowtowed quickly, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please, Your Highness, be lenient with me."

Compared to the county magistrate, the village chief seemed quite calm, which caught Feng Zhaoyun's attention.

The woman looked to be about fifty years old and was much calmer than the county magistrate.

Feng Zhaoyun asked, "Have you seen any suspicious strangers passing by here recently?"

The village chief knew he was asking her, so he didn't dare to look up. "Your Highness, no..."

Seeing the woman's eyes roll, Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "It's alright, I was just asking casually. I'm sure this must have been done by bandits. I'll report the truth."

The village chief was stunned at this moment, his expression panicked. "Your Highness, this...this may be a hidden story. From my humble opinion, it doesn't look like the work of bandits. Your Highness, would you mind taking a closer look?"

Feng Zhaoyun smiled faintly. Couldn't he help it? This was clearly a trap, presumably designed for her.

At this moment, Feng Zhaoyun gave Jiuyi a look. Jiuyi understood and stepped forward to slap the village chief, knocking her to the ground. "How dare you! How dare you question Her Highness the Princess! Don't you want to live anymore?"

This slap made her eyes go dark. She quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not! I dare not! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Feng Zhaoyun glanced at the trembling county magistrate standing beside him. "You! Dismissed from office and investigated! You committed a murder on your territory. As a high official, you can't even protect the people. You don't deserve to wear this hat or enjoy the imperial salary."

The county magistrate kowtowed quickly and said, "I admit my mistake. Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Zhaoyun led his men out, and the team left the place. After they were some distance away, he said, "Jiuyi, order General Xue to ambush near the village. Send someone to secretly follow the village chief."

Jiuyi, "Yes."

Feng Zhaoyun said, "Let's go to the Royal Villa."
