Shen Xingmian was completely unaware of this, and even if she had discovered it, she wouldn't have taken it too seriously.

What good is a little kid in distress if he looks fierce? He'd be better off lying low and waiting for the chance to strike his enemy dead.

Revealing one's ambition too early will only make others wary, and thus crush him before he has fully developed his power.

She slept soundly. She had walked for so long during the day and then traveled for almost three hours at night. She digested the barbecue on the way back and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The aroma of barbecue still lingers in my dreams, bringing double the joy.

Because she slept so well, she woke up early the next day, but sleeping on a flat mat on the floor made her feel uncomfortable all over.

When I woke up, my mind was fully restored, but my body felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to run away immediately.

Looking at her mother and father, seeing that they were still asleep and their sleeping positions hadn't changed much, she couldn't help but admire them secretly. True warriors can indeed face the bleakness of life head-on.

She can't do it; she's not a warrior.

She misses her bed so much.

She even found the secondhand beds of the imperial concubines smelled wonderful, and she didn't even need to wash them. She no longer cared about them, sob sob sob.

As long as it's soft, she can accept it even if it's old and dirty!

How much longer will this awful situation last...?

Shen Xingmian lay there listlessly for a while, until everyone in her family got up to wash and cook, before slowly rousing her aching body, her mind wandering aimlessly:

If the Princess and the Pea were to sleep like that all night, wouldn't she get swollen?

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh again. Why make things difficult for a two-dimensional character? This isn't the way to take revenge on society.

After washing his face by the stream and cleaning his mouth with the supernatural water, he drank a lot more supernatural water before feeling refreshed and walking briskly towards his family.

Mornings are rushed, and there's no time to cook slow-cooking food. But Mu Zhizhi was worried that everyone would feel uncomfortable eating only dry rations, so she soaked the rice that someone had sent her the night before in a bamboo tube.

She was somewhat surprised when she was tidying up her things yesterday, astonished by how complete the gifts these people had given her were, as if she could find anything she wanted here.

So this morning, after eating some thin porridge and steamed buns, everyone embarked once again on the seemingly endless road of exile.

Entrusted by her maternal grandfather, Shen Xingmian secretly went to observe the situation of the former eldest grandson of the emperor. She saw that he had no reaction and was lying on his side with his back to the crowd.

His back was slightly hunched, and he was very thin. Just looking at his back, one could feel a pang of sadness.

He's just a nine-year-old child. It's already quite remarkable that he didn't become depressed or suicidal after such a sudden tragedy. It's understandable that his personality might have developed some issues.

However, despite her sympathy, she couldn't openly go over to take care of the person.

Whether he accepts it or not is one thing, but if someone sees it and uses it as evidence of collusion between the Shen family and the former crown prince, that would be troublesome.

Shen Xingmian hates trouble the most, especially when she is not strong enough.

Therefore, it's best to observe from afar for now. At worst, we can take him with us when we leave.

Another tedious and agonizing day has begun, but the good news is that after a whole day of being nourished by the supernatural water, my cousin has woken up.

However, both of them were seriously injured and spent most of their time in a coma, lacking the energy to fully wake up. They still need to rest and recover.

This was already incredibly good news for my aunt.

Overjoyed, she stayed by the cart the whole time, and several times tried to take over the work of Liuyun Xuanyue so she could pull her husband and son up herself.

But they were all gently refused, after all, her small frame didn't seem like the type to pull a cart.

Shen Xingmian also felt a deep resentment and couldn't bear to do it.

Although Liu Yunxuanyue had practiced martial arts since childhood and was physically strong, it was still very unfair to let the two girls do this kind of physical work all the time.

So Shen Xingmian prepared extra water for the two of them, much more than for the others, to slightly make up for her guilt.

I believe my maternal grandfather, father, and mother felt the same way.

Apart from the four of them, no one knew there were any further plans; they all assumed they were really going to walk all the way to the North.

In this situation, those who continue to work hard without complaint and never seek a way out for themselves will no longer be servants, but family members.

Grandpa had already arranged for someone to return the indentures to them, but these people were still willing to follow him all the way. How could anyone not be moved by such affection?

Shen Xingmian was probably the busiest person in the whole team, even though she looked about the same as the others on the surface.

While contemplating the future, she organized the things in the space, and also had to use her mental energy to do chores, such as cutting grass to feed the horses and chopping vegetables to feed the chickens...

But as she worked, she started to think, since things grow fast in the space anyway, why not just keep the animals in enclosures on the lawn?

The excrement can be absorbed by the soil, grow grass, and then feed the animals—it's practically a perpetual motion machine of sustainable development!

She's so smart!

They simply moved the turf into the enclosure, and then sowed grass seeds in the empty space, so they no longer had to worry about these herbivores.

As for carnivores, they're all just waiting to become dinner. She hasn't had many chances to eat meat yet, so how could she possibly watch other animals happily feast?

However, it seems there are no carnivores in her space for the time being, which saves her trouble.

Animals like rabbits, chickens, ducks, and geese will definitely reproduce very quickly in the open space. Once we get to the destination, we can release all the excess animals and hire people to raise them, so the scale can be expanded to a very large scale.

The grain produced can be used directly as seeds, and with gradual development, it can easily feed a large army, and it will certainly be better than what the dog emperor raised.

In this way, aside from those who are blindly loyal, probably no one will continue to serve the emperor. Then, with someone legitimately entitled to inherit the throne, the scoundrel emperor can be easily overthrown.

Shen Xingmian was full of hope for the future, and even her steps became lighter.

Thanks to the power of the supernatural water, no blisters formed on her delicate toes, but it was different for others.

Looking around, many people were dragging their feet as they moved, appearing to be struggling.

Seeing this, Shen Xingmian also changed his gait and posture, trying to look similar to others, so as not to be noticed by those with ulterior motives.

The sun was blazing, and people were practically melting from the heat. Luckily, she and her cousin made a simple sunshade; otherwise, I don't know how people lying down would have survived.

Suddenly, the carriage in front stopped, and the crowd gradually stopped as well. Shen Xingmian stood on tiptoe to look ahead and found that the problem seemed to be with the young crown prince. She immediately felt a little anxious.

This person is very important; we mustn't let anything happen to them.

Shen Yunting and Luo Qi'an, who were standing next to her, were even more anxious than she was. Both of them were natives and cared a lot about the Crown Prince, but they hadn't shown it before.
