While the two were discussing heatedly, Main knocked on the door.

Yuying straightened her clothes, cleared her throat and spoke.

"come in."

"Queen, someone just now..."

As soon as Ma Yin came in, she started talking, but when she looked up and saw Xu Yechen was there, she was stunned, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

"What does someone do?"

Yuying spoke indifferently, pulling her back to her senses. Ma Yin knew she was being rude and quickly lowered her head.

"Someone just came to inform me that the king will host a banquet for the prince of a neighboring country in a few days. Someone was sent to inform the queen and a set of formal clothes to be worn at the banquet was delivered."

"Okay, I get it, put it down and go out."

"Yes."

After saying this, Mayin turned around and left.

Yuying looked at Mayin's back silently, as if thinking about something.

"There must be something wrong with this woman."

Yuying looked at him and asked, "What did you see?"

"Do you remember when you first came here?"

"When we were testing the functions of the special equipment--"

remember--

"Try to identify the two of them."

Xu Yichen pressed the button again and identified the two people in the distance.

"If everyone reported an error, maybe the function was not successfully researched, but someone else reported it correctly that day."

"That is to say, the feature that Ma Yin shares with us is a mistake, and this feature is the function that Huai Zhen is researching."

The same features...

What are we similar to her?

Are they all real human consciousness?

But it’s not necessary to go into the leisure area of ​​the virtual world just to play the role of a maid, right?

Yu Ying held his forehead with his hand: "Why don't you just contact Huai Zhen and ask him and you'll know?"

As he spoke, Xu Yichen had already taken out his brain-computer and tried to contact Ning Huaizhen.

He frowned slightly: "..."

"what happened?"

"You try it."

Yuying was confused, so she switched her brain-computer connection to the real world's TOX communication and tried to contact Huaizhen.

"..."

"what--!"

Suddenly, a strong electric current pierced through her ears like lightning, as if millions of fine needles were pricking her nerves at the same time. The electric current seemed to have penetrated deeply into her body, causing every cell to tremble and spasm.

The pain was so severe that she almost took off the computer and threw it away.

Yu Ying covered her ears tightly, trying to ease the piercing pain, and then looked at Xu Yechen, who had a look of triumph on his face, and was lying on the sofa, holding his stomach and laughing.

"Xu Yichen, I must teach you a lesson!"

She gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to beat Xu Yechen up. He knew that the brain-computer connection was broken but there was still power, but he still tricked her into trying!

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Yu Ying and Xu Yechen were both shocked. Why was someone else coming?

"Ahem... come in."

A small head popped out from outside the door, looked around, and when its eyes finally locked onto Yuying, its eyes suddenly turned slightly red.

“Eun-seong?”

Eun-seong trotted in from the door.

And brought a pillow?

Yu Ying and Xu Yechen looked at each other, not understanding her series of actions.

“Yingying… Yingying…”

She looked at Yuying's face and suddenly burst into tears. The pillow in her hand fell down and she kept calling Yuying's name in a trembling voice.

Yuying quickly walked over and helped her sit on the sofa, "Enxing, what's wrong with you?"

“Yingying… Yingying…”

Eun-seong covered her face, gasping for air as she cried, only calling out her name over and over again.

Yuying put his arm around her shoulders soothingly and patted her back gently, "I'm here, tell me what's wrong."

He gave Xu Yechen a look to tell him to go out first. After receiving it, he looked at the two of them with great disdain and slowly walked out.

"..."

I'm too lazy to bother with this childish guy.

“Eun-seong, what happened?”

"Who bullied you? Where's Xuanluo?"

Yuying asked a series of questions, but she just cried without answering. However, when she heard the word "Xuanluo", she cried even harder.

"Xuan Luo? Did he bully you?"

Yuying asked in disbelief.

The last second, he and Xu Yechen were agreeing on Xuan Luo's deep love for the princess.

"Wu... um... he... he..."

The person in front of him was crying with her hands covering her face. She was so sad that she reached the extreme. Yuying rubbed her forehead helplessly, stood up and poured her a glass of water.

After a while, the crying of the person next to him gradually became quieter and his emotions calmed down a lot, but he was still choking with sobs.

Yuying reached out and patted her on the back to help her calm down.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

The once bright eyes now looked at Yuying dully. Eun-seong remained silent. After a moment, she sighed deeply and finally spoke slowly.

"Yingying, Xuanluo and I had a fight. He was not wrong...it was all my fault."

"I don't want to be so willful, but when I face him, I can't control my emotions."

"Every time, he would give in to me and tolerate me, but this time he didn't. He rejected me in a very tough attitude, and I ran away in anger."

"But when I ran out, I realized that I had nowhere to go..."

As she spoke, the tears that she had managed to hold back burst out again.

"I was already very sad, and thinking like this made me even sadder, so I came to you."

Yuying frowned and asked cautiously: "Then what was the reason for the quarrel?"

"He told me that he has someone he loves, and he wants to wait until I get married, and then take the person he loves and leave the palace."

"……Then what?"

Xuanluo has someone he likes?

Could it be that both Xu Yechen and I were wrong?

"Then I disagreed and we had a quarrel."

"that's it?"

"……Um."

"..."

Can we quarrel like this?

Eun-seong raised her misty tearful eyes and looked at her, aggrieved: "He said I'm unreasonable, Yingying, do you think so too?"

Yuying looked into her eyes and nodded seriously.

Eun-seong: “…”

She immediately changed the subject, "But I really want to know why you disagree?"

"He has the right to pursue his own happiness. Didn't you say you don't like him?"

Eun-seong was silent again: "..."

Yuying looked at her. She just hung her head and said nothing, her whole body oozing with sadness.

Holding her hand gently, Yuying said patiently, "Enxing, if you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you."

Eun-seong raised her head and looked at Yu-young, her eyes filled with emotion. Yu-young tightened his grip on her hand a little more to make herself look more sincere.

"Yingying, thank you."

"When I rushed out today, I felt so sad when I thought about having nowhere to go. Fortunately, I have you."

"Yingying, I'm glad to have you."

Yuying looked at her with a smile, "Can you tell me now what you think?"

She took Eun-seong to wash her face, and then the two of them snuggled up to each other and sat together leaning against the back of the bed.

"Since I was a child, it was difficult for me to make true friends because of my identity. I also never enjoyed the gentle embrace of a mother that every child has. My father was always very busy."

"It has always been difficult for me to see him since I was a child. Although I am surrounded by a large group of maids and servants, they are like puppets and never resist me. No matter what I say, they always say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

"It wasn't until I was fifteen that my father brought Xuanluo to me."

"I think I will never forget that sunny afternoon when my father brought him slowly towards me in the sunshine. At that time, I was wondering how there could be such a good-looking person."

"He is like the mottled years under the shadows of trees in the afternoon. Just one glance makes all my thoughts blur. He walks towards me step by step, as if walking in the light and shadow of time, his steps are graceful."

"Although he is still a teenager, his eyes already show the maturity of years, which is very inconsistent with his childish face."

"Hello, Princess. I am Xuan Luo."

"Your guardian knight."

"He is the only friend I have had since I was born. My father told me that he is my guardian knight and will accompany me as I study and grow up until I get married."

"Later, I wanted to make more friends, but my father didn't like the friends I liked, and the friends my father liked had to be screened by Xuanluo."

"As time goes by, Xuanluo is my only friend, so I like flowers and plants very much. When Xuanluo is not around, they keep me company."

Yuying looked at her. She tried to explain these things in a cheerful tone, but the story she told was indescribably sad.

"What is a Guardian Knight?"

"Guardian knight? Every princess will have a dedicated guardian knight..."

"Xuan Luo is my guardian knight."

"The duty of the Guardian Knight is to protect the princess until the princess' hand is held by her future partner and they enter the marriage hall together. At this point, the Guardian Knight's oath to protect the princess becomes invalid."

"He is very good to me. We grew up together. I don't know how many times he has saved me and protected me."

"Every time I need him, he always shows up first. Gradually, I've gotten used to him living in every corner of my life."

"Like air, we can't live without him."

When she talked about Xuan Luo, her expression was always bright and energetic. Yu Ying could somewhat understand why she had such a big reaction when Xuan Luo said he wanted to leave her.

To her, Xuanluo has replaced her feelings for her parents and has become an indispensable element in her life. She wants to share all her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness with him at the first opportunity.

"What about your father? I don't think you ever mentioned anything about him."

"Father..."

When talking about her father, the smile on Eun-seong's face slowly faded, and she frowned, quickly searching her mind for things about her father.

"I don't know if it's because I want him to be with me too much that this leads to fantasy or something else, but I always feel that my father used to love me very much and spent a lot of time with me..."

"But when I think about it carefully, this feeling is very vague, as if it doesn't exist..."

Yuying frowned: "Your father treats you badly?"

"It's not bad, it's just that there's less intimacy between family members, and more of a sense of alienation."

She smiled suddenly, her eyes dim, "Now that I think about it, before I met you, it seemed that Xuan Luo was the only one who treated me well."

Eun-seong seemed to be lost in some memories, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and then she lowered her head.
