Some people had already made up their minds at this time. No matter what the emperor said, they would of course obey the emperor's words.

If they go against the emperor, wouldn't that be seeking death?

In a house closest to the imperial palace, the imperial teacher listened to the report from Yang's men, a smile on his face.

As he expected. Thirty percent was not what he wanted, but the emperor was not so foolish. If the news of 30% tax was spread, the people would be unhappy, but they would not say anything if they could get so much.

He initially planned to collect 50%, so that he could quickly raise enough money for the Star Picking Tower. After the emperor got the benefits, he would not reduce taxes, and might even increase other taxes.

The more money the emperor puts into his private treasury, the more money he gets and the more people he will have under his command.

By then, he will surely succeed in having what he wants.

Thinking of this, the national teacher looked at the maid next to him, his face gloomy, and said.

"come over."

The maid was frightened, so she lowered her head and walked towards the imperial teacher in small steps.

The Imperial Master looked at the maid, pinched her chin with one hand, and looked at her fiercely.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The little maid shook her head.

"Not afraid?" The Imperial Master's laughter sounded sinister, and the maid's hands began to tremble.

He grabbed the maid's hand and walked towards the house.

Soon, the maid's cries were heard in the room.

"No, please let me go..."

Soon, the maid's voice gradually became lower.

After a long while, the bell in the room rang, and the maids came in and carried the maid out.

The maid was covered in blood, her face was pale and full of fear.

Qinhou Mansion.

Yun Zhao listened to Qin Shiyi's report and learned that someone had impeached Princess Zhaoyang at the morning court today.

Actually, she was a little worried about what she did yesterday, fearing that it would cause trouble to her mother, but her mother told her that nothing would happen and asked her not to worry.

Today, an imperial censor began to impeach my mother. In the next few days, there will definitely be people who will impeach my mother and her as well.

Just as Yun Zhao was thinking, Cuihua's voice came from the door.

"Master, Minister Gu requests to see you."

Hearing this, Yun Zhao spoke.

"Let him in."

Minister Gu was very happy to hear that Yun Zhao was willing to see him. He always felt that Gu Zhao, the daughter, still had some affection for him as a father.

"Meet Princess Chaoan."

Minister Gu bowed towards Yun Zhao.

"Master Gu, please get up. What do you want from me?"

After hearing Yun Zhao's words, Minister Gu looked at the maids around Yun Zhao.

"No need to look at them, they are all my confidants."

After hearing Yun Zhao's words, Minister Gu did not hesitate any longer and spoke directly.

"Zhao'er...Princess, I came here today because I have something to tell you. The day before yesterday, the Imperial Master suddenly found me and asked me to restore my identity as a member of the Zhu family..."

Minister Gu told Yun Zhao what happened that day. His face looked a little solemn. After he finished speaking, he looked up at Yun Zhao and said with a worried look on his face.

"Now you are a princess, and also the daughter of Princess Zhaoyang. But the Imperial Master is extremely trusted by the Emperor, and is in charge of the divination and fortune of Daxia. He is more trusted by the Emperor than the Imperial Observatory... If the Imperial Master reports you in front of the Emperor, it may be disadvantageous to you..."

Minister Gu still felt a little guilty, after all, he had let his daughter down before, and he didn't want the Imperial Master to really take action, and then Gu Zhao would not even be able to fight back. So he came to remind her.
