I was kicked out of the house and became a princess.

As the night fell, the stars twinkled, and the bonfire burned, reflecting the determined faces and tired but motivated eyes of hundreds of people. Such scenes often occurred in camps during marches or during rest periods between battles.

At this time, they have all found their own houses and regard this place as their second home.

Some of them were sitting or standing, some were thinking, perhaps missing their relatives far away, or planning the next strategy; some were talking quietly, sharing their past experiences and stories, encouraging and comforting each other. The warmth of the bonfire dispelled the chill of the night, and also brought them closer together, making the comradeship even deeper.

In such an atmosphere, someone might play an instrument condensed with spiritual energy, and the melodious melody drifts in the wind, adding a bit of tenderness and poetry to this quiet night. From time to time, singing will also be heard, adding a bit of fun.

"It's great, no memorials, no baggage, no need to look after myself like I did in the palace, it's really comfortable."

Xin Yixi lay lazily in Yingying's arms, looking at the people around the campfire not far away from time to time, with a smile on her lips.

Yingying didn't respond, but from her slightly upturned lips it could be seen that she was in a good mood at the moment, and she was lazily playing with Xin Yixi's little earlobe.

"Tell me, where should we start? After all, there are twenty-four of them, which means there are three or four in each empire. But each empire is not small, so it's too difficult to find them all."

Yingying murmured in a low voice.

"Sister Ying, there is a saying that details determine success or failure. Although they have been lurking in the empire for so long, they are not human after all. So since they are not human, there must be flaws. What we have to do is to seize the flaws and then get rid of them."

Xin Yixi thought for a while and whispered her opinion.

"So what we lack most now is an entry point. The more information we can get from this entry point, the better."

Yingying nodded in agreement. After all, this was indeed a good idea.

“Isn’t the entry point right over there?”

Yingying pointed with her chin at the members who were chatting enthusiastically around the campfire.

"what?"

Xin Yixi was a little confused.

"They come from all over the empire, and are now talking about interesting things in their city. How about trying your luck?"

Yingying chuckled and pinched her little face.

"Okay, then it depends on our luck."

Xin Yixi understood, sat up from Yingying's arms, and followed Yingying obediently.

As she spoke, Yingying took Xin Yixi's hand and walked towards a dozen figures gathered not far away.

"Is it so evil?"

Before I got behind them, I heard one of them exclaim.

"Isn't it? No matter who sends them in, no matter how ungrateful they are, they will be obedient when they come out!"

"That's amazing! I even want to send my brother to jail. He's like a rebellious son and he goes against me every day!"

"Who isn't? Hey, keep talking. What happened later? Did you come out?"

"Don't worry, later on, when the neighbor's little sister came out..."

Yingying and Xin Yixi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

I didn’t expect to be so lucky today?

Yingying took Xin Yixi's hand and quietly sat behind a slightly more mature young man while they were all listening attentively and didn't notice them approaching. Of course, many eyes noticed them, but Yingying gestured for them to continue playing and not to pay attention to them.

"Who knows what they did? After the younger sister came back, she was very filial and obeyed her parents in everything. Not long after, she married the man who lived across the street and was about her age. I heard that she later became a good wife and mother!"

"so smart?!"

There were a few more exclamations.

"Isn't it? I just don't know how they did it."

The boy who was speaking with great interest was called Gu Sheng. He was quite handsome, with a scholarly look between his brows.

"Didn't you ask?"

Another fat boy couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't ask, but I heard that when someone asked, they all mentioned an old lady. My family asked us to call her Snake Lady."

Gu Sheng recalled it and felt a little ambiguous.

"But it definitely happened. I haven't come into contact with the details. I just heard about it from my parents."

"By the way, where are you from? I thought if I make it back alive, I would send my brother in as well."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people burst into laughter.

"Hey? Your Highness?"

One of them happened to turn around and saw Yingying and Xinyi, and quickly greeted them.

"I have met His Highness."

After hearing this, everyone stood up and saluted in a panic.

"It's okay, it's okay, you continue, you continue."

Yingying waved her hand to tell them to relax.

But it was the same as saying nothing. Although she had always had a good reputation outside, being gentle and virtuous, and was believed to be a virtuous ruler after ascending to the throne, in the eyes of ordinary people, the difference between the status of a princess and a commoner was too great, so it was normal that she could not let go for a short period of time.

Although they sat down again and continued chatting, it was obvious that they were much more reserved.

"Gu Sheng, I have something to ask you later."

Yingying said to Gu Sheng before leaving.

Hey……

Yingying sighed softly, holding Xin Yixi's hand and walked towards the small house they had tidied up in the afternoon.

"Sister Ying, we are different from them. We don't need to care too much about them."

Xin Yixi made a cup of tea for Yingying who was sitting at the table and counselled her softly.

Yingying took the tea and took a sip. She was about to say something, but the tea unexpectedly suited her taste.

The fragrance of tea surrounded her nose, and the slightly bitter taste and warm and non-astringent texture made her very satisfied.

"Did you bring the tea from the Core Life Empire as well?"

"Hehe, I brought it because I knew you liked it, Sister Ying."

Xin Yixi stuck out her tongue playfully.

"……Silly girl……"

But it’s great to have you by my side.

"Okay, Sister Ying, don't be sad. I found a clear spring on the way here. It should be nice to bathe there. Do you want to go with me?"

Seeing that Yingying was in a better mood, Xin Yixi took Yingying's hand and walked out of the cabin through the back door.

Gu Sheng was a little nervous at this time, wondering if he had said something wrong. But thinking back to his conversation with them tonight, it seemed that he had not said anything bad about anyone?

Did I offend her in the past? Probably not. Could it be because of what I said tonight? But thinking about it this way, there are indeed many strange things.
