Chapter 1271 - 565: Arrival of the Upper Immortal

"This is the Princess’s token, let’s see who dares to act recklessly."

Commander Li suddenly took out a token and glared at the crowd, saying, "Who gave you the courage to obstruct the Princess from entering the city."

Once he took out the token, everyone stopped.

Clearly, this couldn’t be faked.

With this, the soldiers had no reason to refuse their entry into the city.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing no one persisting, Commander Li roared again.

Thus, everyone made way for them.

However, throughout the ordeal, not a single soldier apologized to Li Xiangrou.

As if what had just happened hadn’t occurred.

Ning Qi said to Li Xiangrou, "It seems someone really doesn’t want you to enter the city."

"It doesn’t matter, I want to enter the city, and no one can stop me. Even if there is, you will help!"

Li Xiangrou replied indifferently.

"You’re right, then let’s enter the city."

Ning Qi did not argue but smiled and said.

"Enter the city."

Li Xiangrou commanded.

Her procession then majestically marched towards the city.

Among the soldiers, some secretly went into the city to report the news.

Ning Qi noticed this and said to Li Xiangrou, "Someone went to report, it seems we have a welcoming committee."

"Doesn’t matter, however they want it is fine."

"I am just here to inherit the throne."

Li Xiangrou still appeared nonchalant.

Ning Qi noticed that ever since she arrived at the city gate, she seemed like a different person.

Her presence became stronger, even her aura was undisguised.

Thus, they successfully entered the city.

The citizens here curiously watched her.

Because, some had already learned of their identity.

"Is this our Yue Country’s Princess?"

"I heard she’s been away for years, why is she back now."

"It must be to fight for the throne."

Some bold individuals began to discuss.

Ning Qi didn’t care, and continued to drive his carriage.

Their convoy quickly passed through the bustling market, arriving near the Imperial City.

Here, the Forbidden Guard was vigilantly guarding.

Upon discovering Li Xiangrou’s convoy approaching, a commander arrived.

"Your Highness!"

The commander greeted her proactively, then continued, "The carriages need to stop for inspection."

"The Princess has arrived, and you still need an inspection?"

Li Xiangrou heard the commander’s words and asked unhappily.

"Your Highness, this is the rule of the Imperial City, please understand."

"I am merely following orders."

The commander did not intend to yield at all but pinned the issue on the rules of the Imperial City.

"Fine, then I shall disembark."

Li Xiangrou directly stepped off the carriage and called to her guards, "Follow the Princess!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Commander Li responded first, then the other guards also followed suit.

"Hold on!"

The same Forbidden Guard commander blocked their path again.

"Why is this? I have abandoned my carriage, yet I still can’t enter the city?"

Seeing this, Li Xiangrou showed displeasure, her eyes coldly staring at the people in front.

"Your Highness, you must remove armor and lay down weapons!"

The Forbidden Guard commander pointed at Commander Li’s weapons and the armor they wore.

"You!"

Commander Li was furious.

Unexpectedly, entering the city required this, which wasn’t the case when he was the Forbidden Guard commander.

"Commander Li, times have changed, please understand!"

The previous commander apparently recognized Commander Li.

Seeing his anger, he directly cupped his fists and smiled, saying, "This is His Majesty’s order."

"Everyone stay here, Commander Li, you and Ning Qi come with me!"

Li Xiangrou looked back, then made the decision for Commander Li and Ning Qi to accompany her inside.

"Yes!"

"..."

Her guards respectfully obeyed, leading the carriages to the side.

"Click!"

Commander Li removed his armor and weapons.

Then handed them over to his subordinates.

Once everything was prepared, he returned to Li Xiangrou’s side.

"Let’s go!"

Li Xiangrou saw him arrive and proceeded to walk forward.

"Your Highness, take care!"

At this moment, the Forbidden Guard commander approached again, blocking her path.

"What do you want now?"

This made Li Xiangrou a bit displeased.

If not for her identity, she might have already acted.

"Your Highness, in the Imperial City, do not wander aimlessly, head directly to the rear garden."

"His Majesty is resting in the rear garden."

The commander awkwardly smiled and explained.

"Fine! The Princess understands."

Li Xiangrou agreed, then continued to lead Ning Qi and Commander Li inside.

Ning Qi followed along, curious about the surroundings.

As expected of a royal residence, the architecture here was extremely luxurious.

The buildings were endless, elaborately decorated.

Even the maidservants and eunuchs hurriedly came and went.

They passed through several courtyards and crossed two corridors.

Finally arriving at a courtyard.

This courtyard was large, with a lake in the center, and a path built across it.

In the center stood a small bridge.

They crossed the bridge and arrived in front of a hall.

At this moment, several maidservants were guarding the hall and appeared to be cultivators.

Nearby, there were Forbidden Guards occasionally patrolling by.
