My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 593 - 200 Indifference_2

Du Xixi shifted her sitting position to make her gaze more intimidating: "If you have something to say, say it. Don’t buzz around like flies earlier, only to be speechless now."

In the public’s impression, Du Xixi’s voice has always been gentle and soft, and it’s almost unheard of for her to confront anyone harshly. However, this moment overturned everyone’s perception of her, instantly garnering respect.

At this moment, Du Xixi resembled a blend of Ke Lian’s coolness and Chen Yin’s authority. Either of them alone could command immense respect, so how could anyone not be intimidated by Du Xixi now?

Several veteran journalists who could still stand steadily swallowed quietly, realizing how presumptuous they had been earlier, daring to confront Du Xixi just because she seemed gentle and approachable. How could they forget her true identity?

An Imperial Princess doted on by both the Imperial Marshal and Your Majesty, and they recklessly came to block her path?

The few journalists who realized their mistake grabbed their partners, wanting to leave. Yet, because they had pushed too far earlier, they were now stuck in the crowd, unable to move forward or back, while those in front who hadn’t yet realized the situation bit their teeth and directly thrust the microphone to Du Xixi’s mouth.

"Your Highness, is the emergency shutdown of the Military Department at Blue Star University due to mismanagement?"

"Your Highness, please answer me, has chaos already erupted within Blue Star University?"

"Considering the situation in the Military Department, does the Food Department, where Your Highness is, have similar issues? Please answer, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness..."

"..."

Microphones were thrust inside the car, and the mecha soldiers couldn’t intervene to stop them. Du Xixi leaned back slightly to avoid the microphones being pushed towards her mouth.

She furrowed her brow, and the mecha soldier sitting in the front seat understood immediately, grabbing their arms and skillfully throwing them a bit farther away to prevent them from getting closer to Du Xixi.

Du Xixi smiled with satisfaction and coldly said to the astonished crowd, who clearly didn’t expect the mecha soldiers to act suddenly: "Regarding your questions, I believe you’ll get a better answer by visiting Blue Star University’s official website. I am merely a regular professor from the Food Department and cannot answer for you."

Whether for herself or for Blue Star University, Du Xixi could not casually respond; she had to be responsible for her actions and words in the public’s eye, and such official answers were naturally for the official channels to disclose.

Du Xixi had nothing to offer.

"Your Highness!" Someone exclaimed urgently, only to receive a cold gaze from Du Xixi. She slowly rolled up the car window, leaving visible only her unsmiling black eyes.

Inside the car, she addressed everyone: "For inquiries, I’m sorry I cannot answer, but since you’re here to ask questions, I can quite honorably inform you—according to our national law, unauthorized obstruction of personnel travel would result in fines and detention."

This was a law updated a few years ago due to numerous instances of individuals being blocked from traveling without reason, and some of these individuals were Imperial dignitaries, leading to significant disruptions at the Empire level.

This law was born out of necessity from current events, but not many were well aware of it, having only vaguely remembered such a new law’s existence. The specific penalties depend on the severity of the obstruction.

Du Xixi, although not well-versed, had heard about it from Ke Xing in passing and knew that the degree to which she was blocked now was enough to get these journalists fined significantly, with those responsible for organizing and instigating possibly facing detention for some time.

It’s not an Empress Princess’s privilege; even an ordinary elder on the street facing such illegal obstruction could seek justice.

The hovercar, surrounded by mecha soldiers, lifted into the sky, escaping the area where they could be blockaded, and under everyone’s gaze, it swiftly left, leaving behind a group of bewildered reporters. However, some were clearly frightened, struggling to run away, hoping to escape.

They certainly didn’t want to be fined, much less detained. In the Blue Star Empire, a nation with strict laws, the probability of crime is nearly the lowest across the All-Star, but precisely for this reason, every criminal, once proven guilty, faces condemnation from the entire populace.
