Holding the script, I want to give up.

"Was this a mechanical device drawn by my sister?"

"Although I knew she always liked to make little gadgets, I did not know that she was also skilled in this area."

"It seems I really haven't been paying enough attention to her."

Shangguan Nuoyou stared into thought as she looked at the various weapons depicted on the Xuan paper in her hand.

"Perhaps the princess wanted to leave this item for your safety. She still cares about you and the country."

Looking at the exquisitely crafted weapons on the Xuan paper, Xuan Ye felt that Shangguan Zitong was a genius. He could tell the destructive power of these weapons, which he had never seen before, without even testing them.

"Send our men secretly to make all the weapons shown on this sheet of paper, and then test their power."

"You can go now, I'll stay a little longer and then leave."

After handing him the Xuan paper, Shangguan Nuoyou hugged the fox and looked at herself in the mirror. Xuan Ye took the paper, bowed, and left.

Zhou Jiyang has arrived.

"Your Majesty, is the princess really dead?"

He couldn't believe that the fairy sister who saved him back then would just disappear so easily.

"Well, really."

Are you also saddened by her death?

Shangguan Nuoyou turned around and looked calmly at Zhou Jiyang.

"I want to master this martial art so that I can protect her from harm someday."

"When I grow up and have the ability, I will definitely kill that bastard, the Northern Emperor."

Resentment welled up in Zhou Jiyang's eyes.

"Well, you are interested."

"She really likes this fox, you can keep it."

"I will be very busy in the future and may not have time to take care of you. You will take care of it for me."

"Take it with you and leave. I want to be alone."

As she spoke, Shangguan Nuoyou handed him the white fox.

"okay, I get it."

Zhou Jiyang left with the white fox in his arms.

"Why does it seem more and more perplexing the more I look at it?"

"I really just wanted to save people; I didn't have any other thoughts."

Shangguan Zitong suddenly felt that saving people had become a mistake.

Well, let things take their course.

[We're almost at Dongchuan, get ready to disembark.]

I'm going back to my spatial dimension to recharge for a bit. You go ahead on your own; I'll stay by your side.

Once the fox saw that it was almost ashore, it returned to its spatial dimension.

"Okay, I understand."

"I've looked at most of the details."

"You should rest for a while."

Shangguan Zitong stood up, raised her hand, and gazed at the shore.

"Ah, we've finally arrived."

She stretched, and seeing no one on the shore, she went ashore, and the boat simply vanished into thin air.

"Can you give me directions? Let me see where the Dongchuan Imperial Palace is."

【it is good. 】

Shangguan Zitong followed the navigation to the city gate. She wanted to go straight in, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Halt! Do you have any travel documents?"

The soldier stopped her, demanding to see her relevant documents before she could enter the city.

"Damn it, I left too early and forgot to steal one." Shangguan Zitong secretly regretted that her brain wasn't working properly and that she had forgotten about it.

"Um, yes, yes, wait while I look for it."

She turned and walked to a corner, pretending to look for documents.

"Ah Li, quickly find me a travel permit to use."

"Yes, I tucked it into your waistband."

She reached into her belt and found a note.

"Hehe, thanks a lot, Ahri."

"Look, I have some, but I forgot where I put it. I'm just an ordinary commoner."

Shangguan Zitong handed him the customs clearance documents and asked him to check them.

"Judging from your clothes, you must be from a wealthy and noble family. How could you be from an ordinary family? Young lady, you mustn't lie."

The soldier, seeing that there were no problems with the documents, let her into the city.

"Oh dear, I'm just a runaway heiress. Don't ask so many questions."

After seeing that he was willing to let her go, Shangguan Zitong happily skipped away.

"Wow, this market is even more lively and bustling than the other three countries."

"Hey hey hey, that means you've traveled to all four countries!"

"Ah Li, I'm out of money, can you give me some?"

She looked longingly at the dazzling array of goods on the street, saying she wanted them all. She skipped and hopped around the street, liking everything she saw, while passersby looked at her with a hint of regret.

Isn't your purse full of gold leaves and silver notes enough?

Okay, that's enough.

Why are they looking at me like that?

Shangguan Zitong felt that the way pedestrians looked at her was like they were looking at an idiot.

Your behavior might make them think you're stupid.

"Damn, what's wrong with me getting a little excited?"

After she started walking properly, the pedestrians stopped paying attention to her. Actually, they were just curious about which family this lively and cheerful little girl came from.

......

Outside the palace gates, Shangguan Zitong paced back and forth at the main entrance, wondering how to get in and find Liu Yunwan.

She hesitated before walking toward the palace gate.

"I want to see your Crown Princess."

She spoke to the guard at the gate.

"Halt! Who are you?"

No one may enter without a token.

The guard pointed his spear at her.

"I am a friend of your Crown Princess. If you dare to hurt me, you'll lose your heads."

"I may not have any token, but I am truly her friend. Please, have mercy and let me in."

Shangguan Zitong looked at them pitifully with pleading eyes. The two guards at the gate exchanged glances, then quietly took a few steps back and whispered to each other in front of her. She didn't follow them, but simply watched them discuss quietly, waiting for a result.

“Look at the clothes she’s wearing. Only an official could raise someone like that. Why don’t we let her in?”

"Are you stupid? You don't believe everything she says. The palace rules are strict. Watch your head."

"But she doesn't seem like a thoughtful person; she looks rather naive."

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bushel." You understand this saying, right?

"Then you go, I dare not."

"What a coward, I'll go if I want to."

Another guard walked up to Shangguan Zitong with a serious expression, like an executioner about to put her to death, which made her tremble in fear.

"After our discussion, the palace rules are too strict, so you still cannot go in."

"You'd better leave now, or don't blame us for being rude to you."

The guard pointed his spear at her.

"Okay, what's with the yelling!"

"I'm leaving now."

Seeing that she couldn't get in, Shangguan Zitong had no choice but to leave.

"Ah Li, why don't you teleport me in there?"

She walked with a light, airy air about her.

No, that's not right. You have to figure it out yourself.

Besides, the protagonist here has even greater luck; I couldn't give it to you even if I wanted to.

The system couldn't do anything about it; its capabilities were limited.

"Okay, then I'll spend a few days exploring the markets. I'm not in a rush anyway, and enjoying the scenery of Dongchuan is a good idea."

After finding an inn to stay at, Shangguan Zitong began to stroll around at a leisurely pace.

"Boss, is this a dreamcatcher?"

Shangguan Zitong looked at the dreamcatchers of various colors in front of her, and no matter how she looked at them, they were no different from those in her original world.

"Oh, yes. Miss, would you like some?"

"This white one is the most popular, why don't you choose this one too?"

The shopkeeper, seeing the girl's delicate features, unconsciously smiled kindly at her.

"No, I prefer this blue-purple one."

"Please give this to me."

She pointed to the blue and purple dreamcatcher at the innkeeper and took out the few taels of silver that another innkeeper had given her when she checked in, and handed them to the innkeeper.

"Oh, take care, sweet dreams."

The shopkeeper happily accepted the loose change and watched Shangguan Zitong leave.

"I accept your good words."

She picked up the dreamcatcher, looked around, and felt like a salted fish at this moment.

She carried a dreamcatcher in one hand and a candied hawthorn in the other, showing it off wildly. After wandering around until evening, she got a little tired and skipped and hopped towards the inn where she was staying.

Inside the inn, she happily went upstairs.

"Alas, since you cannot stay with me, let this dreamcatcher capture my nightmares."

She hung the dreamcatcher above her bed.

Don't worry, I'll always be here.

"I hope so. There's always a bad feeling about it; maybe my sixth sense is wrong."

Shangguan Zitong went downstairs and asked the waiter for several buckets of hot water to prepare for a bath.

"Sir, your hot water is here."

"Would you like me to adjust the water temperature for you?"

The waiter, accompanied by another farmhand, knocked on the door carrying water.

"Okay, thank you, thank you for your help."

Shangguan Zitong opened the door for them, and after they finished adding water, they left. She locked the door and began to take a bath.

"Ahri, can I use your other permanent outfit?"

She lay in the wooden tub, closing her eyes to relax and enjoy herself.

【Um. 】

A light blue jacket and skirt set appeared on the clothes rack.
