When Nanny Wang saw the Crown Princess go into the inner room, she followed her there as well.

"Miss, go to bed. Mammy will sleep with you tonight."

Nanny Wang patted the Grand Concubine's arm gently.

"Mammy, you don't need to keep watch. Go back to sleep. Let Xia He keep watch."

"Okay, young lady has learned to feel sorry for Mammy. Mammy will wait until you fall asleep before leaving. Just close your eyes and go to sleep."

"Okay, Mammy." The eldest princess yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.

Nanny Wang turned off the lights and tiptoed outside.

"Mammy, is the Grand Concubine asleep?"

"Mammy still has a solution!"

"Mammy, you still have to stay."

"Mammy, it's late, you should go to bed."

Nanny Wang listened to the maids discussing in low voices and smiled.

"Okay, the Grand Concubine has gone to bed. Leave Xia He to keep watch. Everyone else go back to bed."

"Okay, we'll all listen to Madam. Madam is really good. The Grand Concubine hasn't slept well for a long time."

"I figured it out tonight. I won't say any more. Let's go back to bed. My old bones can't stand it any longer."

Nanny Wang couldn't help but yawn. After all, she was an elderly person and had traveled such a long way today.

"Mammy, let me help you go and rest." Chunhua stepped forward and held Mammy Wang's arm as they walked out. The other maids also went to sleep.

The eldest prince's mansion finally quieted down.

It felt like not long after, the day had dawned. On the other side, the people of Yunjia Village, who were still on their way, had already finished their breakfast and were on their way to escape the famine.

After a day of traveling yesterday, Yun Yiyi and the others have summed up a lot of experience.

For example, when driving a bus, only one person is needed to drive the bus. The others can catch up on some sleep. Especially now, the sun hasn't come out yet and the temperature is not high, it's a good time to take a nap.

On the first donkey cart, it was Second Brother Yun who was driving the cart, while Third Brother Yun was sleeping in the cart.

Brother Yun was driving the second mule cart. Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were catching up on their sleep in the carriage.

The third mule cart was driven by Zhang. Yun the butcher was sleeping in the cart. Zhang thought that Yun the butcher had been on duty the previous night and had hardly slept all night. It was too hard.

When the team just started to move, Zhang asked Yun the butcher to sleep in the carriage. Yun the butcher didn't want to sleep at first, Zhang told him that when fleeing famine, he must stay alert to deal with various emergencies.

Butcher Yun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He went to the carriage to catch up on his sleep.

Yun the Butcher and his men were traveling very fast. The village chief had originally estimated that it would take them ten days to leave the state. Based on yesterday's speed, they would be able to leave the state in six days.

Firstly, everyone's speed was indeed faster, and secondly, there were not many refugees on the official road, so they did not have to hide from people and could just walk along the roadside.

The sun rose higher and higher, the temperature gradually increased, and the speed of Yunjia Village also slowed down.

"Brother, how far have we walked? Are we about to take a break?" Yun Yiyi rubbed her eyes and sat next to Brother Yun.

"We've walked almost thirty miles. I guess it's time to stop and rest in a while." Brother Yun touched the few strands of Yun Yiyi's hair that were sticking up from sleeping and laughed softly.

"We've walked such a long way! No wonder I'm hungry." Yun Yiyi touched her stomach, which was acting like an empty city strategist. If she wasn't so hungry, she could have slept a little longer.

Xie Zirui and Brother Yun looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Yiyi, your hair is all loose. You should braid it up." Xie Zirui looked at the few strands of hair sticking up on Yun Yiyi's head and wanted to laugh.

"Brother, please help me comb my hair."

"Okay, go get the comb and hair tie."

"Zi Rui, you come and drive the car."

"Okay, big brother."

Brother Yun took the comb skillfully and combed Yun Yiyi's hair, then he skillfully tied two cute little braids for Yun Yiyi.

Xie Zirui was a little surprised when he saw Brother Yun's skillful movements.

Brother Yun didn't turn around, but he knew Zirui was looking at him.

"Are you a little surprised? Haha, to tell you the truth, Yiyi has never had the patience to tie her hair since she was a child. Ever since she grew her hair long, it has been my mother who has tied her hair at home."

"Outside, it was the three of us who would braid her hair. Actually, none of us knew how to do it at first. Yiyi is young and impatient. Whenever her hair was messy, we would comb it hard and often pull a lot of hair out, as if that hair was not hers."

"Later, the three of us were forced to learn how to comb Yiyi's hair. However, Yiyi now has much more hair than when she was a child."

"Brother, you still remember all this. But I must say that it was my mother who insisted on letting me grow my hair long. And she also said that I didn't need to comb my hair myself."

Brother Yun took a look at the aggrieved Yun Yiyi and took a deep breath.

"Yiyi, have you forgotten that when you were over two years old, you had very little hair? Mom let you grow your hair long because she was afraid that you would have less hair in the future."

"Is this true, brother? You won't lie to me, will you?" Yun Yiyi looked at Brother Yun suspiciously.

"Yiyi, don't worry about the past. I think you look pretty with two pigtails now." Xie Zirui hurried out to smooth things over.

"Brother Zirui, you are still good at praising people."

"You are such a heartless kid. Girls your age in the village all comb their own hair. But you are the only one who still relies on your mother and brother to comb your hair."

Brother Yun gently pinched Yun Yiyi's ears with his hand. This naughty girl is the one who took advantage of the situation and still acts like a good kid.

"Hehe, brother, my arms are too short. It's not easy for me to comb my hair by myself." Yun Yiyi looked up and smiled silly at Brother Yun.

"You are just lazy."

"It's already noon. Let's stop first and go to the woods by the roadside to cook and eat, and then rest for a while before setting off again." The village chief shouted from the front to the back.

"Brother, it's finally time for dinner. I wonder what delicious food mom will make for lunch?"

"I don't know either. But don't worry, our mother cooks quickly and won't let you starve for too long."

Brother Yun took the whip, followed the donkey cart in front, and slowly entered the grove on the side of the road.

Since Yun Yiyi and the others set out from the south gate of the county town, the further south they went, the more forests there were on the hills beside the official road. There was also a lot of dry grass on the hills.

"Brother, I'm going to find mother first. Please stop the car slowly." Yun Yiyi supported herself with both hands and jumped directly off the mule cart.

"Brother, Yiyi and I will go together." Xie Zirui also jumped off the mule cart swiftly and walked back side by side with Yun Yiyi.
