With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Outside the Duke of Wei's mansion, an inconspicuous carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley across the street. When Nangong Wu and Li Shuang came out, the coachman immediately drove the carriage out.

The driver, wearing a straw hat that covered most of his face, drove up to Nangong Wu and got off.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Nangong Wu, saying, "This subordinate, Li Feng, greets the Princess."

"No need for formalities." Nangong Wu nodded slightly, knowing that Li Feng was the leader of the Flying Feather Guard.

Li Feng stood up and helped her open the carriage curtain. "Please, Princess."

With Li Shuang's help, Nangong Wu boarded the carriage.

Seeing that there were thick blankets in the carriage, she could lie down and rest.

"Go to the Prince of Zhenyuan's Mansion."

"Yes."

Li Shuang also got into the car and sat in the driver's seat outside with Li Feng.

"Giddy up!" Li Feng cracked his whip and drove away.

After driving for a short while, the car entered a bustling main street.

The Duke of Wei's mansion was in the west of the city, while the Prince of Zhenyuan's mansion was in the east, separated by many streets.

Nangong Wu had no interest in the commotion outside; her mind was preoccupied with the situation inside the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion and their future plans.

The grandfather, Prince Zhenyuan, spent his life on the battlefield and originally had only one principal wife, who was the original owner's biological grandmother.

My grandparents were a loving couple, but my grandmother was unfortunate; she passed away when my mother was less than two years old!

My grandfather was heartbroken and didn't want to remarry, but the Empress Dowager forced him to, and even gave him more than a dozen wives and concubines.

My grandfather took those women in, but he no longer made them his principal wife; he only gave them the titles of concubines and secondary wives.

Later, both concubines became pregnant in the same month; one gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the other gave birth to a son.

After that, my grandfather never went into the backyard again.

My grandfather doted on my mother, taking her under his wing and personally teaching her. He ignored the children born out of wedlock and even petitioned the emperor to pass on the title of prince to my mother.

The emperor felt sorry for his younger brother and granted his request, decreeing that after the Prince of Zhenyuan passed away, the title would be passed on to his only legitimate daughter.

However, her mother died in battle five years ago.

The father also had a deep affection for the mother.

He did not remarry after his mother passed away, and only raised his original daughter.

My grandfather fell ill from excessive grief after losing his beloved wife and then his beloved daughter.

He then spent two years bedridden with illness, and his grandfather also passed away. Before his death, he passed the throne to his father, which aroused the jealousy of his grandfather's two illegitimate sons.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and the carriage slowly came to a stop.

"Princess, we've arrived at the Prince's residence." Li Feng's voice came through the curtain.

Li Shuang stood up, lifted the curtain and went out first, then reached in a hand, "Princess, let me help you down."

Nangong Wu stood up and, with Li Shuang's help, got off the carriage.

"Giddy up!" Li Feng drove off in his carriage!

Nangong Wu stood in front of the Prince's Mansion.

The Prince's Mansion is magnificent and imposing, with towering gates and a huge plaque above the entrance bearing the four gilded characters "Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion" written by the Emperor.

The two vermilion doors, inlaid with gold rivets, appear exceptionally majestic and imposing.

Two guards stood at the main gate, but they didn't seem to recognize Nangong Wu and Li Shuang. Seeing them standing there staring at the palace, they came out to chase them away.

"Hurry up! This is the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion, not a place you can approach."

"How dare you!" Li Shuang stepped forward and shouted coldly, "This is Princess Runing, why haven't you come over to pay your respects!"

The two guards were taken aback and looked at Nangong Wu with suspicion.

They knew that the Prince of Zhenyuan's mansion had a Princess of Runing who had married into the Duke of Wei's mansion two years ago, but they had been there for a year and a half and had never seen her.

The guards saw that she was dressed plainly, without a single expensive ornament on her body, and had an ugly scar on her face, which made her seem nothing like a princess of noble status.

But they were also afraid it might be true, and that offending someone would be bad.

"Please wait here, we'll go and inform the Prince first." A guard went into the mansion to report.

Nangong Wu didn't make things difficult for the servants. She just waited for the people inside to come out. Otherwise, how would she know that the true master of the manor had returned?

About fifteen minutes later, someone finally came out, a steward with several servants.

Nangong Wu has the original owner's memories and recognizes the person walking in front. He was originally a close attendant to her grandfather's eldest son, but now he has become the steward of the royal palace.

The guard hurriedly bowed to the steward, "Steward Lu, you've come out!"

Steward Lu gestured to him, looking at Nangong Wu with an arrogant expression: "May I ask what brings Consort Nangong to the Prince's residence?"

He addressed Nangong Wu as "the concubine of the Duke of Wei's mansion" rather than "the Princess of Runing of the Prince's mansion," as if to tell her that she was a concubine of the Duke of Wei's mansion and had no relation to the Prince's mansion.

Nangong Wu wasn't angry; a slight smile played on her lips. "Li Shuang, teach him some manners first."

A mere steward dares to disregard a princess, which shows that he was instructed by his master, and also shows how pathetic the original owner of this body was.

Without saying a word, Li Shuang stepped forward and suddenly kicked the butler hard in the chest.

It was too fast; Butler Lu had no chance to dodge and was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the threshold.

"Bang!"

"Ah..." the guards and servants cried out in alarm.

Butler Lu was so badly hit that he saw stars. "Damn Nangong Wu, how dare you hit me..."

Before he could finish his curse, Li Shuang stomped on his chest, pressing down on him as if he weighed a ton, rendering him unable to move.

"Pfft!" Butler Lu spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What did you just say?" Li Shuang asked coldly.

"Nangong Wu, you... you're just a concubine now, how dare you hit me? The Prince will not let you get away with this..." Butler Lu cursed.

"You're asking for death!" Li Shuang drew her sword, ready to teach him a lesson.

"Stop!" a loud shout rang out.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Nangong Wu's smile deepened.

The person who came was Nangong Qi, the eldest son of the grandfather's concubine, followed by several servants.

Upon hearing Nangong Qi's voice, Steward Lu immediately shouted, "Your Highness, quickly save this old servant..."

"Where did this lowly servant come from? Let him go!" Nangong Qi shouted as soon as he saw Nangong Wu.

"Nangong Wu, you hit someone as soon as you arrived. What are you trying to do?"

The events that occurred at the Duke of Wei's mansion yesterday have already spread throughout the capital, and he naturally heard about them as well. He assumed that it was just Nangong Wu being jealous of Zhou Shaorong and causing a scene at the wedding banquet.

Therefore, he didn't take it to heart at all.

What kind of trouble can an orphan girl with no parents cause?

Nangong Wu ignored him and asked in a low voice, "Li Shuang, what is your punishment for disrespecting this princess?"

"Kill them without mercy!" Li Shuang replied.

"Alright, then kill them!" Nangong Wu suddenly flicked her hand, a flash of cold light.

"Ah..." A throwing knife struck the butler's throat with pinpoint accuracy, killing him instantly.

It's good to live in a dynasty where imperial power reigns supreme; as a member of the royal family, you can kill a traitorous servant at any time.

Nangong Qi was stunned, never expecting Nangong Wu to dare kill someone right in front of him. He was immediately enraged: "Nangong Wu, how dare you kill Steward Lu?!"

"I've already killed him, now you want to ask if he dares?" Nangong Wu sneered, taking out a handkerchief and slowly wiping her hands. "He was just a wicked servant who dared to disrespect this princess. What's wrong with killing him?"

"Nangong Wu, you poisonous woman, how dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Nangong Qi seemed to have caught her making a huge mistake, cursing angrily, but his eyes were filled with wild joy.
