Some diners in the restaurant felt it was bad luck and didn't want to get into trouble, so they immediately paid their bills and left.

Some diners didn't care at all; in fact, they even secretly glanced at Qi Zhiyu with eyes full of sympathy.

They didn't believe the princess was some kind of monster.

If she were truly a demon, would the princess have done so many things for the people?

Moreover, the Prince Rui's Mansion has always been doing good deeds.

How could a monster emerge from such a virtuous family?

Besides, this kind of thing has happened many times before; there was a feud between Prince Rui and Prince Wu.

By belittling the princess and implicating Prince Rui, King Wu was able to ascend the throne.

They were of lowly status and naturally didn't know what was going on here, but they didn't believe that the princess of the Prince Rui's mansion could be a monster.

Princess Rui naturally felt the gazes of those around her, and she looked at her daughter with concern.

"Mom, their side dishes are delicious!" Qi Zhiyu said, swallowing hard. "They're absolutely amazing with the fried dough sticks!"

Princess Rui smiled; her daughter was completely unaffected.

So she didn't care anymore.

As long as the child is alright, that's all that matters.

"Then I'll have to have a good taste of it later," Princess Rui said with a smile. "I don't usually have many opportunities to eat out."

"There are so many delicious foods outside." Qi Zhiyu was in a particularly good mood when she talked about food. "Especially when you eat in a restaurant, the taste is completely different."

"Maybe it's the atmosphere."

Princess Rui listened with a smile as Qi Zhiyu detailed what they were going to eat later.

Soon, all the food they ordered was served.

Qi Zhiyu immediately started eating, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel, which made Princess Rui smile and her eyes crinkle.

After eating and drinking their fill, Qi Zhiyu took Princess Rui to listen to music and watch a play.

"Mom, their family is so nice," Qi Zhiyu said. "Their meat sauce noodles are delicious!"

Princess Rui chuckled, "Yu'er, did you come here to watch the play and listen to the music, or to eat noodles?"

"It won't cause any trouble." Qi Zhiyu pointed to the Princess Consort Rui, "Mother, look, isn't that beautiful?"

"That one looks good too."

"As expected, a handsome young man is pleasing to the eye."

The maids in the private room lowered their heads in fright; they hadn't heard anything.

The princess brought her consort to see the man... This... this... if the prince finds out, what will happen?

"That girl is beautiful too!" Qi Zhiyu only showed the pretty girls to Princess Rui. "I love listening to them sing; it's so pleasing to the eye."

Princess Rui finally understood: "Child, are you here to listen to the music or to see people?"

"It won't interfere with each other," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

As soon as the food was served, Qi Zhiyu immediately handed the chopsticks to Princess Rui: "Mother, let's go to the lake to enjoy the scenery after we finish eating."

"A gentle breeze is blowing, and you can even take a nap by the lake."

Princess Rui was amused: "Alright, I'll have them set up the tent for you so you won't catch a cold."

"Okay!" After finishing her meal with Princess Rui, Qi Zhiyu sat down and left, taking a carriage to the lakeside outside the city.

After they left, the shop assistant was clearing away the dishes, but his attention wasn't on the table. Instead, he was strangely walking around the room, occasionally stomping on the floor.

Suddenly, with a muffled thud, the shop assistant was knocked over.

Outside the city, Qi Zhiyu suddenly looked in the direction of the capital and smiled.

"Yu'er?" Princess Rui, whose attention had been focused on her daughter, immediately noticed something was amiss.

Qi Zhiyu turned her head, a smile on her face, her fingers lightly stroking the cup in her hand: "They really went all out to prove that I am a monster."

Princess Rui frowned deeply: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "Someone tampered with the private room at the place where we went to listen to the music just now."

"I reckon they're trying every possible way to hunt down this monster of mine."

"Unfortunately, no divine punishment occurred while I was there."

When Qi Zhiyu mentioned the words "divine punishment," her eyes were filled with deep sarcasm.

Even the Heavenly Dao here dares not use divine punishment on her.

Did the King of Wu and his ilk really want to fake divine punishment?

Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

"They can only settle for second best and let the world think that wherever I, this monster, go, misfortune will follow," Qi Zhiyu said casually, revealing the plans of the King of Wu and his group.

After saying that, she felt much better.

Ever since she failed to guess one aspect of the King of Wu's plan last time, she has felt uneasy all over.

Having lived for so long, I've seen so many things.

Therefore, the omissions in her calculations made her particularly frustrated.

Once she realized that, she immediately understood that it wasn't her problem.

After all... she never imagined that Prince Ning could be so stupid.

She's practically begging to die, sending her over to wipe out Northern Yunnan... Such thoughts and actions are truly bizarre.

It's normal that she overlooked something.

Anyway, she's at peace with it.

Princess Rui frowned deeply: "They insisted on throwing dirty water on you!"

"Go ahead and splash it." Qi Zhiyu took a sip of water nonchalantly and yawned lazily. "If they don't try their best to ruin my reputation, how can I be universally hated?"

"How can I successfully go to northern Yunnan if I don't incite public outrage?"

Princess Rui was heartbroken.

My daughter has really suffered because of Da Rui.

Qi Zhiyu and Princess Rui had a wonderful day out, but new rumors were circulating in the capital.

"What do you mean?" Qi Jingxi was furious. "Why pin the blame on my sister for those accidents that happened there?"

A fire broke out in a private dining room, a lakeside area collapsed, and someone was poisoned at a roadside snack shop. What does this have to do with his sister?

"Because these are all places Yu'er has been to." Qi Jingchen could see it clearly.

He looked at Prince Rui: "Father, what do you think?"

"Yu'er did it on purpose." Prince Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly.

His daughter.

This was because they were afraid her reputation as a bewitching beauty wasn't widespread enough, and that their connection wasn't deep enough, so they deliberately went out to make it easier for the other party to exploit the situation.

"They're bullying us too much!" Qi Jingxi was furious.

"Don't just get angry, have you done what you're supposed to do?" Prince Rui asked with a stern face.

"Of course," Qi Jingxi said without hesitation. "I've had people keeping an eye on all the suspicious individuals at the scene of the incident."

"Once my sister leaves northern Yunnan... none of them will be able to escape!"

Those were all Wu King's men.

He was following these tiny shrimp to find the fish behind them.

Whether it was the King of Wu or the Marquis of Guangping, the people they arranged were all people who seemed to have no connection with them.

In other words, the forces they cultivate outside.

He will eliminate these forces one by one!

"Yes, keep a close eye on her," said Prince Rui. "Yu'er will be going out again in the next couple of days."

Qi Jingchen suddenly laughed: "Yu'er really doesn't waste anything."

Before leaving Da Rui, they also needed to eliminate some of the forces of the King of Wu and the Marquis of Guangping.
