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

The more she thought about it, the bigger the doubts became. Could it be that she really wasn't the real princess?

Just then, several guards stopped them.

"Halt! Where are you going?"

"How dare you!" Li Shuang stepped forward and rebuked, "This is Princess Runing. Not only do you fail to greet her, but you also dare to block her path?"

The guards, however, didn't take them seriously. "The Duke has ordered that no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to move around freely after midnight. Otherwise, they will be treated as bandits."

Nangong Wu's face turned cold. "Li Shuang, no need to waste words with them! Anyone who dares to block this princess's path, kill them!"

Having royal status is great; anyone who dares to offend you can be killed on the spot.

"Yes." Li Shuang drew her sword with a swift motion, pointing at the guards as she walked, "Get out of the way immediately!"

Seeing that they were serious, the guards had no choice but to step aside and make way for them.

"Li Shuang, let's leave the manor and go find the Jingzhao Prefecture," Nangong Wu said.

"Understood, Your subordinate." Li Shuang led the way with her sword, heading towards the front courtyard.

Regardless of whether this person was a real princess or not, she liked his personality very much.

But after walking for a short while, they were stopped again.

"The Duke has ordered that the manor has been robbed. The main storeroom and the Heir Apparent's wife's dowry have been stolen. The matter has been reported to the authorities. No one in the manor is allowed to leave; otherwise, they will be treated as thieves!"

Li Shuang couldn't help but look at Nangong Wu.

"Since we've already reported it to the authorities, we don't need to go out anymore. You go and wait for the officials to arrive." Nangong Wu handed her princess token to Li Shuang and then walked back.

She originally intended to make a big fuss, but now that the authorities are coming, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.

Hearing the baby crying in the room, I realized my second child had woken up, and I had to go back to breastfeed him.

She returned to Hongyun Courtyard, ignoring the corpses on the ground, and focused her thoughts into her spatial dimension.

About 25 minutes later, someone finally arrived, carrying a torch that illuminated the entire courtyard.

Nangong Wu had just finished breastfeeding her child and came out of the space to lie on the bed.

Because Li Shuang possessed a royal token, the government had no choice but to take it seriously, and the Prefect of the Capital personally came over.

Zhou Zheng, Madam Zhou, and Zhou Shaorong also came.

The government officials were shocked to see the corpses scattered all over the ground.

The Zhou family of three, on the other hand, all had dark and sinister eyes.

Li Shuang entered the main room. "Princess, the Prefect of the Capital has arrived."

"Cough cough cough..." Nangong Wu coughed, sitting up in bed. "Let's go out and take a look!"

With Li Shuang's help, she walked out of the room, looking visibly shaken.

The Prefect of Jingzhao stepped forward to pay his respects, saying, "Your subject greets Princess Runing."

"You're too kind, Prefect!" Nangong Wu raised her hand and coughed lightly twice.

"Since I married into the Duke of Wei's mansion, my health has been poor. In the past two years, I have rarely stepped out of the mansion and have never made enemies with anyone."

"I never imagined someone would try to assassinate me, Your Excellency. I implore you to investigate these assassins thoroughly and bring the mastermind behind it all to justice."

"Nangong Wu, you're faking it!" Zhou Shaorong jumped out, his face contorted with rage.

"Your Excellency, this woman is faking it. She caused a scene at my wedding today, publicly stripped Yue'er of her wedding dress, and even used a hidden weapon to cut her face and ears. This woman is extremely vicious. The things that went missing from the storeroom must have been done by her."

"You're talking nonsense." Li Shuang stood up to defend Nangong Wu, "I was the one who injured Liu Yue'er. You've gone too far."

Nangong Wu glanced coldly at Zhou Shaorong. "Li Shuang, there's no need to say too much. The truth will be determined by the magistrate after he has investigated the matter thoroughly."

"Yes!" Li Shuang stepped back to her side.

"Guards! Examine the bodies of these assassins first!" The Prefect of Jingzhao ordered an investigation.

This was a shrewd old man in his fifties with a goatee. He sized up Nangong Wu, then looked at the corpse on the ground, his eyes flashing with an ambiguous light.

He also received an invitation to the wedding held by the Zhou family today.

He was present when Nangong Wu disrupted the wedding and witnessed the whole thing.

It's highly unusual that the Liu family, given their character, didn't cause trouble for Nangong Wu after Liu Yue'er was so badly injured.

As expected, trouble struck that evening!

Anyone with a brain knows who sent these corpses on the ground!

But the fact that the Zhou family's storeroom and Liu Yue'er's dowry were missing is very strange.

So many things were moved out in one midnight hour; this is something that not everyone can do.

"Princess, you're not feeling well, please sit down and don't tire yourself out!" Li Shuang brought out a chair for Nangong Wu to sit down.

"It's alright, cough cough..." Nangong Wu coughed lightly twice and sat down.

The fifty corpses were quickly arranged in two rows by the yamen runners for the coroner to examine.

"Princess Runing, may I ask, who killed these assassins?" the Prefect of the Capital began to ask.

"I killed her!" Li Shuang replied, she couldn't let the princess bear the crime of murder.

"Who are you to Princess Runing?" The Prefect of the Capital's sharp gaze turned to Li Shuang.

"She is my personal guard, and also the Flying Feather Guard of my mother, the Princess Protector of the Nation!" Nangong Wu took out a black iron token and gave it to the Prefect of the Capital.

They killed so many people. Regardless of right or wrong, Li Shuang will definitely be taken away by the government for questioning. Only by revealing her true identity will the Prefect of the Capital not dare to arrest her.

"Flying Feather Guard!" The Prefect of the Capital took the token, examined it carefully, and his expression changed.

In the Western Yan Kingdom, no one was afraid of the Flying Feather Guards.

The Flying Feather Guards were originally the late emperor's secret guards, obeying only the emperor's orders. Each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, killing without a trace. Wherever the Flying Feather Guards wanted to go, no one dared to stop them.

Later, the late emperor gave this Flying Feather Guard to the Protector Princess, who was also Nangong Wu's biological mother.

Unexpectedly, after the death of the eldest princess, this secret guard fell into the hands of Nangong Wu.

But then I thought about it and realized there wasn't a problem. After all, Nangong Wu was the only daughter of the Princess Protector of the Nation. If we didn't leave it to her, who else could we give it to?

Does the current emperor know this?

When Zhou Zheng and his wife, Zhou Shaorong, saw the token, their expressions changed.

No wonder that bitch Li Shuang is so skilled in martial arts; she was the late emperor's Flying Feather Guard.

This is enough to prove that the things that went missing from their warehouse must have been made by Nangong Wu.

After examining the token, the Prefect of the Capital returned it to Nangong Wu.

"Besides what happened in your courtyard tonight, another major incident occurred in the Duke of Wei's mansion: all the storerooms and Liu Yue'er's dowry have gone missing. Are you aware of this?"

"I don't know. This princess and Li Shuang have been staying in the courtyard and haven't gone out." Nangong Wu said calmly.

"Your Excellency, the Flying Feather Guards are in Nangong Wu's hands. This means that the things that went missing from my mansion must have been done by Nangong Wu. You must investigate this thoroughly!" Zhou Shaorong knew that no one but Nangong Wu would dare to steal from the treasury of his Duke of Wei's mansion.

Nangong Wu looked up at him. "Zhou Shaorong, you need to catch a thief red-handed and an adulterer in the act! Since you say that I, the princess, stole from your treasury, then please produce the evidence, otherwise it is slander."
