Three carriages crossed the official road and slowly arrived at the city gate.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately shouted, "Halt! The Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the imperial city. You must leave the city gate immediately, or else..."

"Don't blame anything?"

Sheng Lingwei drew back the curtains, her sharp gaze fixed on the soldier who had spoken.

The soldier frowned, about to reprimand the speaker, but when he saw the speaker's unique face, his eyes widened in horror.

A person with a red beauty mark between their eyebrows—besides the Third Princess of the palace, no, now Princess Chang Le, there is no other person like that in the world!

Oh my god, he actually provoked the great demon Princess Chang Le! Ahhhhh, someone please save him! He doesn't want to die!

The soldier slapped himself hard, then knelt down heavily with a thud, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. "Greetings, Princess Chang Le."

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers' expressions changed drastically, their spines turned cold, and they all knelt down on the ground, asking: Who is the person they are most afraid of now?

A: It could only be Princess Chang Le!

A playful smile appeared in Sheng Lingwei's eyes. "Oh, I didn't tell you to kneel down. Get up, all of you. It makes it seem like I'm being very heartless."

Soldiers: "..."

How can someone who can even punish his own father, the emperor, be considered humane?

Princess Chang Le, you have absolutely no self-awareness.

Seeing that the soldiers did not get up for a long time, Sheng Lingwei raised her eyebrows slightly, "What? Do you like kneeling on the ground so much? It's hard for you to give me such a grand salute."

The leading captain forced a smile and said in a fawning, trembling voice, "Princess Chang Le, what are you saying? You are a princess of our Northern Qi Kingdom. It is only right that we kneel before you."

"Then why don't you get up?"

The captain chuckled dryly, "It's just that our legs are weak, so we really can't get up for a while. Please forgive us, Princess Chang Le."

Sheng Lingwei blinked, a mischievous smile appearing on her beautiful face.

"Sigh, since you like kneeling, then keep kneeling. But I need to leave the capital immediately. I'll give you ten counts to open the city gates, or else... you'll bear the consequences!"

What? Ten counts? You'll have to bear the consequences?

Good heavens! Isn't this just trying to kill them?

The captain and the soldiers' expressions changed drastically. For the sake of their own lives, their legs were no longer weak, and they had regained their strength.

Then, holding their breath, they stood up faster than ever before and worked together to open the city gate. At the moment the gate was opened, they were so excited they wanted to cry.

Sheng Lingwei chuckled and clapped her hands in praise.

"Indeed, it seems your potential is limitless. So, you must push yourselves at all times. Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye!"

Soldiers: "..." Goodbye, and may we never meet again!

Immediately afterwards, three carriages slowly drove out of the city gate in front of everyone.

The captain and soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief as they watched the carriage disappear into the distance; their lives were spared.

Wait a minute, Princess Chang Le just said that they had worked hard.

Good heavens, the princess actually told them they had worked hard. Is this really Princess Chang Le?

You know, the other princes and princesses would never say such things to them; they always maintained a superior attitude.

In hindsight, the rumors were unreliable!

Although Princess Chang Le was domineering, she was not a ruthless killer. She would even tell them they had worked hard, which warmed their hearts.

(*￣︶￣)

What Sheng Lingwei didn't know was that, thanks to the soldiers' praise, her reputation gradually improved as she cultivated a vicious villainous image.

When she found out about this, she was both amused and exasperated.

——

Before we knew it, it was evening.

The six of them, including Sheng Lingwei and her servants, spent almost the entire day in the carriage, except for the time spent feeding and watering the horses.

They weren't tired at all. They ate delicacies prepared by the imperial chefs and drank spiritual spring water from their own space. Even after traveling all day, they didn't feel exhausted.

Even the three horses benefited from this, drinking the rare spiritual spring water, and they became increasingly intelligent and human-like.

Without exception, Sheng Lingwei became their new master, and Chuanwu and Chuanqiong were ruthlessly banished to the cold palace.

Hmph, those three horses are just that pragmatic.

In short, whoever gives them the water from the sacred spring is their mother.

(*^▽^*) Meow~~

Chuanwu: "Princess, we've arrived at the dilapidated temple ahead. Judging from the sounds, there are already many people living inside. It seems we can't rest here today."

Sheng Lingwei nodded slightly, "It's alright, we can just find a quiet place outside to rest."

"Yes, Princess."

She had already used her spiritual power to investigate and found that the people in the dilapidated temple were not passing merchants or commoners, but prisoners exiled by the imperial court.

The team has about three or four hundred people, which is neither a large nor a small number.

To be honest, a large portion of those exiled were innocent victims. Tsk tsk, that dog emperor really did nothing right!

Chuanwu obeyed Sheng Lingwei's words without question and quickly found a flat and quiet place, but he felt that his princess had been wronged.

On the first day of their journey, they camped in the wilderness. It took them more than a month just to travel by carriage to reach Yucheng County. I imagine this kind of thing will happen quite often in the future.

Sigh, for the past month or so, I can only say that the princess has had to suffer.

Rong Momo, Bai Ji, and Bai Shu also quickly got to work. They were quite unaccustomed to not having done any work all day.

Bai Ji grabbed some medicinal herbs suitable for making chicken soup and put them into the clay pot on the small stove, smiling as she looked at Rong Momo.

"Granny, please keep an eye on the fire while I make some mosquito repellent sachets. There are so many mosquitoes here, we mustn't let them bite the princess's precious body."

While washing the vegetables, Rong Momo replied, "Yes, go ahead, don't rush. Try to make it as neat as possible. Bai Shu and I can handle things here."

"Okay, Granny."

Bai Ji smiled and agreed. She was used to making sachets and was very good at it. She quickly made more than a dozen sachets.

Then he hung five or six sachets in several corners of Sheng Lingwei's carriage, and handed a sachet embroidered with gold thread to Sheng Lingwei.

"Princess, please carry this sachet with you at all times. It contains not only medicine to repel snakes, insects, and rodents, but also a precious medicinal herb called 'Thousand Mile Fragrance'."

"Fragrance that travels a thousand miles?" Sheng Lingwei suddenly became interested and asked, "Baiji, what is fragrance that travels a thousand miles?"

Bai Ji explained with a smile, "Qianlixiang, as the name suggests, has a fragrance that can travel a thousand miles away. In fact, that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's probably only good if it can travel a hundred miles at most."

Before Bai Ji could finish explaining, Sheng Lingwei's mind raced. This was essentially the same as a human locator in an advanced world.

"So, the fragrance of a thousand miles can be used to track people? As long as the distance is less than a hundred miles, they can be found?"
