As noon approached, Bai Ya returned from Sophie's place, only to be captured by Rong Shang's men at the castle gate.
In the second-floor corridor, a slender figure stood with her hands behind her back. At this moment, she squinted her narrow eyes and looked down at the hall. Although she could not see the woman being arrested at the door, she could hear the woman's shouts from time to time.
There was another woman beside her. At this moment, Rong Shang withdrew her gaze from the hall and turned her head to look over. Her deep gaze fell on the woman's ordinary face.
"Do you know the maid who's impersonating you?"
“I don’t know her.” Bai Ya shook her head. “But I do know that she is Sophie’s distant relative. It is because of her that this Sakura is able to do odd jobs in the King’s castle.”
Sakurako, the real name of the maid who impersonated Shiroya.
It's likely that the other party has met the Third Prince many times in secret, which is probably why they set their sights on Bai Ya.
One reason was to force Rong Shang out of the Third Prince's body, preventing her from being with Shi Feng.
The other is someone who fantasizes about rising to a higher social status and becoming a phoenix.
"Well, how is your recovery going?"
"Thanks to the Third Prince, Bai Ya's health has almost fully recovered."
Bai Ya was extremely grateful for the care Si Qi had given her during this time.
At that moment, she saw the man beside her turn to her and say something.
"I will now take you to see my father."
"Huh?" Bai Ya was confused and paused for a moment.
"I've already had Sakura arrested. If you want to regain your identity, then come with me."
With that, Rong Shang walked past Bai Ya.
As the faint fragrance wafted over, Bai Ya suddenly clenched her fists nervously.

At noon, I heard that another incident had occurred in the main hall.
There had been previous incidents of servants impersonating the eldest daughter of the Bai family, but unexpectedly, after so many days, the servants who had been unable to be caught would come to their door on their own initiative.
Of course, it would have been impossible for a servant like her to set foot in such a noble and sacred place. This was all thanks to a man, the Third Prince.
However, he had arrested his fiancée but brought a plain-looking servant to meet the king, which inevitably shocked everyone else in the hall.
Even the king frowned, looking puzzled, and asked, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you?"
“Father, Qi’er has come here to expose the two women’s scheme.”
"who?"
“Sophie.” Narrowing her eyes, Rong Shang slowly raised her finger and pointed to Yingzi, who had been captured, “and her too.”
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Rong Shang's words, Yingzi finally realized that her and Su Fei's scheme had already been seen through by this man.
Somewhat frightened, she shook her head desperately, but her mouth was gagged, and she couldn't say a word.
"Qi'er, it's one thing for you to come here and expose Sophie, but I don't know what wrong a well-behaved child like Bai Ya has done to make you so angry."
The king glanced at the bound woman, frowned, and exuded an aura of absolute authority.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Rong Shang's magnetic voice came over, "Father, this woman is not Bai Ya, the one I am betrothed to."
Turning her head, Rong Shang glanced at the plain-looking woman beside her, "She is the real Bai Ya."
"Sophie used magic to switch their bodies."
A few simple words explained the whole incident, but they were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, completely exploding in the hall.
