Everyone in the procession was thoroughly inspected upon their arrival. It did not take long to complete the inspection. Only two carriages remained unchecked because Xie-Zhong-Ren wanted to inspect them last.

"Commander, aren't you really going to tell the chief guard that these are the princesses' carriages, sir!?" Buf-Fa, Dan-Ge's confidant, asked curiously.

"No need. Such an arrogant and haughty man like him deserves to be dealt with. And I believe the Royal Son-in-law will not let him survive if he dares to offend or behave badly toward the princesses," Dan-Ge shook his head, explaining why he did not tell Xie-Zhong-Ren who was in the two carriages.

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Only these two carriages left, right? Soldier! Hurry up and check the two carriages and drag the people inside them down!" At this moment, Xie-Zhong-Ren was very satisfied with his authority. He thought there had to be someone inside these two carriages, and the people inside might be young women. So, he ordered his soldiers to bring the passengers down.

"Yes, sir!!!"

Upon receiving the orders, dozens of Xie-Zhong-Ren's soldiers surrounded the carriages before a soldier shouted.

"The people in the carriages, come down right now! This is an order from Capital City's Wall Guard Chief Xie-Zhong-Ren. If you don't come down immediately, you'll be considered rebels against the Monster Kingdom!"

Hehe!!!

Ha ha ha!!!

There was no response except for joyful laughter, as if the people inside the carriage were oblivious to what was happening outside.

Huh…?

"Damn it! Didn't you hear what I said? Or are you thinking of rebelling against—"

Bang!!!

"What's that shouting? I'm having fun!" Before the soldier could finish speaking, the door of the second carriage opened, accompanied by the unpleasant sound of a spooky voice.

"Fou… Fourteenth… Fourteenth Princess!!?"

"Fourteenth Princess!!!"

The expressions of the soldiers surrounding the second carriage instantly turned pale. Then they all knelt, paying their respects to Luo-Qing, the Fourteenth Princess, who had been happily chatting with Jin-Tian inside the carriage earlier. She had been disturbed by the soldiers, and, unable to tolerate it, came out to confront those who had rudely interrupted her enjoyment.

"I'm sorry, Fourteenth Princess. I did this because it was an order from the Monster King to carry out strict immigration checks. Please, Princess, forgive me for my stupidity!"

Xie-Zhong-Ren was extremely embarrassed. He hadn't expected an actual princess to be inside the carriage. But when he thought about it, he realized that Dan-Ge was the uncle of the Fourteenth Princess. Although the Fourteenth Princess did not hold the same level of honor as the other king's children, she was still a princess of the Monster Kingdom. How could he have ignored that?

'You… you idiot! This is what you wanted, right? But I don't believe there is another important person, another princess, or a prince in the other carriage. This time, I'll expose the truth and make you realize!'

Xie-Zhong-Ren glared at Dan-Ge spitefully, still unwilling to believe that the other carriage could contain royalty, as all the princesses and princes were already in the city except for the Second Prince and the Eighth Princess, who had fled with the Second Concubine.

"Then hurry up and clear the way for us. I want to see Father now!" Luo-Qing scolded Xie-Zhong-Ren without holding back because she knew what kind of man he was.

"My apologies, Fourteenth Princess, but I still can't clear the way. I must fulfill the duties entrusted to me. I still need to inspect the other carriage first. I hope Your Highness will understand," Xie-Zhong-Ren knew the risk involved, but he believed that if he could blame Dan-Ge, even the Fourteenth Princess, who humiliated him today, would be punished, allowing him to exact his revenge.

"Huh…? Do you still intend to inspect that carriage? Who do you think is inside? Do you know that the person inside is…?"

"Fourteenth Princess, you should allow the inspection since it's his duty!" Dan-Ge interjected before Luo-Qing could finish, smiling slyly.

Luo-Qing saw her uncle's smile and knew exactly what he wanted. So, she decided to play along because, among all the king's children, the Thirteenth Princess was the most beloved and powerful.

"But would it be a good idea? My thirteenth elder sister is waiting for us right now."

"It's true, but what can we do since the chief guard insists on a search!? Very well, Xie-Zhong-Ren, please inspect the carriage," Dan-Ge continued according to his plan.

'Huh! They think they can scare me by bringing up the Thirteenth Princess. I don't believe them! You pretend to comply but invoke someone else's name. There must be something hidden in that carriage!' Xie-Zhong-Ren remained convinced of foul play.

"Soldiers! Inspect the other carriage!" After making his decision, he issued the order.

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Hey! If there's someone in the carriage, come out now!"

"If you don't come out, don't say we didn't warn you!!!"

…………..?.............

When no one responded, a soldier approached the carriage, ready to open the door. But as soon as the soldier's hand touched the door, something unexpected happened.

Boom!!!

Aaaaaaa!!!

The soldier's hand exploded as soon as he touched the carriage door. The sight of this horrific event stopped the other soldiers in their tracks, their faces filled with terror—especially Xie-Zhong-Ren, whose face twisted into something both grotesque and fearful.

"Are… are… are you trying to rebel, daring to attack an official soldier like this!?"

When Xie-Zhong-Ren regained his composure, he shouted with a triumphant expression, realizing that Dan-Ge had struck first.

Creak!!!

"What's all the fuss, Commander Dan-Ge?" At that moment, the carriage door opened, and a sweet, beautiful voice rang.

Huh…?

All the soldiers, including Xie-Zhong-Ren and the other martial masters in the procession, turned to look inside the carriage. The voice made everyone's heart skip a beat as if they had fallen into a dream filled with angels.

"It's nothing, Thirteenth Princess. Only Master Xie-Zhong-Ren wanted to search the inside of the Princess's carriage, sir," Dan-Ge replied calmly, knowing full well whose voice it was, with a sly smile.

"Thir… Thirteenth… Thirteenth Princess!!!"

"Thirteenth Princess!!?"

Dan-Ge's words caused the guards and Xie-Zhong-Ren's faces to drain of color. Their worst fears had come true. The carriage they sought to inspect was indeed the one belonging to the Thirteenth Princess, the most powerful of all.

Thump!!!

"I beg your pardon, sir. I was simply following the Monster King's orders, and I didn't know the Princess was inside. Please forgive me!" Xie-Zhong-Ren quickly knelt and apologized to Fu-Er.

"Huh! You've wasted my time on my way to meet Father. Can't you see my younger sister is here, too? What else do you need to inspect?" Fu-Er knew what Dan-Ge was thinking, because if Dan-Ge had mentioned from the start that she was here, this situation wouldn't have happened...

"I… I… I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Xie-Zhong-Ren was terrified, unable to believe how things had unfolded. But he knew he had to do whatever it took to escape punishment, even if it meant humiliating himself before everyone.

"Princess, please don't be angry. What Xie-Zhong-Ren did was in the line of duty. We are very late. If we delay any longer, we won't make it in time, sir." Dan-Ge knew when not to push too far, as a cornered enemy could strike back.

"Commander Dan-Ge!" Xie-Zhong-Ren was shocked to see Dan-Ge defending him, even though he had always sought to harm him. He didn't know what Dan-Ge was thinking but was grateful, nonetheless.

"All right, I'll let this go. But if I hear or see you meddling with Commander Dan-Ge again… I won't let you off so easily!"

Bang!!!

With those final words, Fu-Er turned away, shutting the carriage door forcefully as she returned inside.

"Yes, Princess! Soldiers, make way for Commander Dan-Ge's procession!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Once the path was clear, Luo-Qing returned to her carriage, and the others followed the procession into the city. Soon, the entire group disappeared from Xie-Zhong-Ren's sight, along with the soldiers and villagers who had gathered.

"This is my order: if anyone dares to speak of this incident, I'll cut out their tongues!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Xie-Zhong-Ren was deeply embarrassed. However, due to the Thirteenth Princess's warning forbidding him from harassing Dan-Ge, he had no choice but to reduce his animosity toward him. Moreover, since Dan-Ge had helped him, Xie-Zhong-Ren decided to repay the favor. As for the soldiers and villagers who had witnessed the scene, he simply ordered them to keep silent.

Inside Fu-Er's carriage…

"What a wonderful performance, my wife!" Zheng-Fu's voice rang out with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

Zheng-Fu had been watching her all along, from beginning to end. He saw his wife play the roles of the goddess and the devil queen at the same time very naturally, without him having to teach or tell her anything at all. And everyone who had heard her speak believed her wholeheartedly.
