rk on Xiaoli's face, her cold eyes swept over the Fourth Prince's nanny. Was this a warning to her"Zhao MaMa, this princess asks you, who is the master of the Fourth Prince's Residence now"Zhao MaMa l..."Get up, all of you."

The leading soldiers roared, and the common people were frightened by their shouts. They huddled together in a group. The children who had been shouted at also cried. Accompanied by the soldiers' roars, even mothers covered their children's mouths, afraid to let out a sound.

Feng Lingxi had never encountered such a situation before. Looking at the way these soldiers treated the disaster victims, her eyes were fixed on the leading soldier. She watched as they surrounded the disaster victims and berated them with arrogance, anger rising within her.

"My Queen, let's assess the situation first before acting hastily."

Xiao Li whispered to the Queen, fearing that the Queen would get angry and argue with them.

The minority is outnumbered, they are the ones who suffer.

Feng Lingxi responded with a sound, watching as the leading soldiers approached her. The scrutinizing gazes made her very uncomfortable.

"Is that carriage yours"

Feng Lingxi nodded, her tone flat, "Passing by, resting here."

When the soldiers saw her fine clothes and elegant attire, they mistook her for a merchant's daughter and couldn't help but harbor ill intentions.

"Do you know who these people are If you, a young lady, were to rest here, what would you do if they robbed you of your valuables"

Feng Ling swept his gaze across the terrified faces of the displaced civilians. "They are just homeless refugees," he said, "they won't do anything to me."

"At a glance, you look like a merchant's daughter who has never left the house. Get in the carriage and go home quickly to avoid any accidents."

When the soldiers saw that she didn't react, they opened their mouths to probe her identity.

Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, spoke up. "I would like to ask, esteemed official, what brings you here"

Saying that, he took out a silver ingot and handed it to him. The soldier took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and looked down on it with disdain, as if saying, "Just this little bit You want to pry information out of me"

Seeing this, Xiao Li took out another silver ingot and said with a smile, "We only have so much silver here, I hope the official will show leniency."

The soldiers received silver, amounting to fifty taels before and after. They lazily said, "General Feng's army is behind us. These rioters are here. If General Feng sees them, there will be trouble. We have to drive them away."

"Mob"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at the disaster victims behind her. The coldness in her eyes intensified.

I truly don't know how they could say such things. They are just homeless elderly people and women, yet they call them rioters Is this how officials conduct themselves

The soldiers didn't expect Feng Lingxi to speak like that. Their eyes turned hostile towards her.

"Excuse me, General Feng. Are you the one from the General's Mansion in the capital city"

Feng Ling's tone was tinged with coldness, and the soldiers looked at her with displeasure.

"Of course it's him, old man. What, are you still going to go against General Feng"

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept across them, her narrowed gaze fixed on their backs. "How much longer until he arrives I do want to meet this General Feng. After all, he accompanied the late emperor in his campaigns, conquering half of the Great Yuan dynasty. How can he treat the people of the Great Yuan like this"

Hearing this, Xiaoli panicked. Looking at the unkind gazes of the soldiers, she instinctively shielded the princess behind her.

Feng Lingxi pulled Xiaoli away, staring at the officials and soldiers before them without fear.

"Even under the Emperor's feet, people are treated this way. Is there still any law in your eyes"

The scolded soldiers were enraged, stepped forward, and raised their hands to attack Feng Lingxi. However, before they could make a move, the sound of swords being unsheathed rang out. The leading soldier suddenly found a sword pressed against his throat.

Feng Lingxi looked at Chu Xi, seeing him nod, then turned to look at the people behind her.

“You keep saying these are rioters, but I ask you, look inside yourselves, where in these elderly, women and children do you see the rioters you claim they are”

Feng Ling Xi's words were cold and sharp, her piercing gaze sweeping over the assembled officials and soldiers.

Although you are all soldiers, do not forget that your families are also ordinary people. If your families knew how you treated the common people, and if one day, you were gone, your families would end up like this, being treated as mobs by other soldiers, having no home to return to and being driven away, what would you think

"Well said!"

A voice, old yet powerful, echoed through the air. A large force of soldiers rode towards them. Though the speaker was past sixty, his voice was strong, his eyes bright and sharp, and he looked at Feng Lingxi with admiration.

Feng Lingxi, upon seeing that person, was already dubious of their identity when a figure swiftly strode forward.

"The subordinate sees Four Princess Consort."

Feng Lingxi knelt before the stranger, her brow furrowed. "Who are you"

"Ye Chen, subordinate of mine, is a dark guard under the Four Kings and has been ordered to protect General Feng on his return to the capital."

Feng Lingxi heard the words of General Feng Lao. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man who had just spoken. This was the grandfather of this body. His appearance bore no resemblance to Feng Aotiān. He gave off a more rigid feeling, an aura of silent authority, more like what a general should be.

Get up.

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and bowed to General Feng, "Greetings, General."

Wind Old General hearing her appellation, knit his brows tightly, and asked Ye Chen, "Is she my granddaughter"

Ye Chen's handsome features twitched slightly as he looked at the Queen's cold expression, nodding in response.

"Then how does she call me Old General, shouldn't she call me Grandpa Could it be that after becoming the Fourth Princess Consort, she doesn't recognize me as her grandfather anymore"

The old general's words instantly made the atmosphere in the room strange.

Upon learning Feng Lingxi's identity, the soldiers all wished they could disappear into thin air. They must have stepped in dog excrement to encounter the Fourth Princess. No one had ever heard of the Fourth Princess venturing out like this.

What frightened them the most was that they had heard of the Fourth Princess's style of doing things. She was a legendary figure, and even the current Empress treated her with favor. They had offended her, and the soldiers only felt that their lives were at their end.

The old General Feng may not be aware, but some time ago, I severed ties with the General's Mansion. The father-daughter relationship between you and Feng Aotiān has ended. The Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree as proof.

"What does it have to do with me if you cut off ties with him You're capable, go ask the Empress Dowager for an imperial decree to sever my relationship as your grandfather. Then you don't have to call me grandpa."

The old general's speech can be said to be very cute.

Feng Lingxi was originally worried that he and Feng Aotian would be the same. Now, listening to him speak, it seems that this grandfather is somewhat different from Feng Aotian.

"Let's not talk about our relationship for now. I ask you, do you know, upon your return to Beijing, they are driving these refugees out"

Feng Lingxi didn't give General Feng, her grandfather, any face. Right now, these refugees were the ones she cared about most.

The elderly general looked at the terrified civilians behind her, his face darkened, and roared, "Who the hell did this"e and sniffing. “There's a faint floral scent mixed with a hint of medicine.”"Listen carefully."Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's curious eyes, sniffed, "This wisp of medicinal fragrance does have a...
