When the crowd saw Yun Qing alight from the carriage, they pushed forward even more.

Suddenly, two squads of guards rushed out from the city gate and stood on both sides of the street, blocking the agitated crowd, fearing that something might happen to Yun Qingluo.

Yun Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the guards were simply blocking the people without making things difficult for them.

After Yun Qingluo stood still, she smiled sincerely and said loudly, "Everyone, please listen to me for a few words."

Yun Qingluo was physically weak, and her voice wasn't very strong, but the people immediately fell silent as soon as she opened her mouth.

Perhaps some people didn't see Yun Qingluo's facial expression, but when they noticed that the surroundings had quieted down, they immediately stopped shouting as well.

“I appreciate your kindness, but my husband preferred to stay outside the city with his soldiers rather than come into the city to compete with you for food. As his wife, how could I possibly take even a needle or thread from you?”

After Yun Qingluo finished speaking, seeing everyone reluctantly handing her what they were holding, she raised her voice and continued:

"I know everyone means well, but surely no one wants a memorial impeaching the Regent Princess for embezzling the people's resources to sit on the Emperor's desk in the capital, thousands of miles away?"

The people looked puzzled. They had given it voluntarily, so why was the princess saying that?

Yun Qingluo didn't give them a chance to think. She only realized belatedly that the common people didn't understand the intrigue and deceit in the imperial court.

She continued with a smile, "Everyone, please follow Master Chengju and build your homes. When the opportunity arises in the future, the Prince and I will definitely revisit this place, and then we will celebrate together with everyone."

After saying all this, Yun Qingluo already felt her body was losing strength. If it weren't for Qiushui and Qiuyue supporting her, she would have been unable to stand steadily.

However, Yun Qingluo did not show it on her face and continued to comfort everyone with a smile.

She only realized it when she felt the sun shining on her body and her shoulders getting hot.

After giving a few hurried instructions, he boarded the carriage under everyone's watchful eyes.

The carriage clattered along towards the capital, gradually disappearing into the end of the road.

With regret, the group slowly made their way into the city.
