Accidentally dressed as an empress

In order to reach Xiling as quickly as possible, Yunxiu and his group decided to take a shortcut through the forest.

It was a sunny day, and the sunlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on the forest floor, creating mottled light and shadows.

Birds chirped in the woods and small animals played in the bushes. When they saw people entering the forest, they all ran away.

Yunxiu led everyone and walked through the forest carefully, for fear of startling the creatures in the forest.

The sunlight shines through the treetops and onto everyone's faces, creating a beautiful scene of interweaving light and shadow.

The crowd walked along a small stream, the gurgling stream seemed to guide them on the way.

As time passed and it was getting late, Yunxiu decided to find a place to set up camp, rest for a night, and then continue her journey after she had enough rest.

The group walked to an open space. The terrain here was quite high, which could prevent flooding, and there was a water source nearby, making it a good place to set up camp.

Everyone worked together and soon set up the camp and lit a bonfire.

Preparations for dinner were also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

However, just as they had prepared the food and were about to enjoy dinner, a sudden noise broke the silence of the forest.

A group of mandrills suddenly rushed out of the woods, their eyes flashing with greed. They moved quickly and with clear goals, heading straight for where the food was placed.

Yunxiu reacted immediately. She shouted, "Be careful!" and quickly picked up the weapon beside her.

The guards also acted quickly, picked up their weapons, and prepared to resist the attack of the mandrill.

However, these mandrills were so agile and moved so fast that before Yunxiu and the others could react, they had already snatched up all the food and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Yunxiu and the guards were stunned. They didn't expect to encounter mandrills here.

These thieves in the forest have always been cunning and agile. Their appearance caught Yunxiu and others off guard.

Yunxiu and the others could only watch helplessly as the food was snatched away.

Looking at the completely looted camp, Yunxiu frowned.

"Don't panic, everyone. We still have dry food in our bags." Yunxiu quickly calmed down and directed the guards to clean up the mess and distribute the remaining food.

"The visibility is poor at night. It's never too late for a woman to take revenge. Tomorrow morning, we will go and settle the score with those mandrills." Yunxiu said.

Yunxiu then asked Su Da and Su Er, "Who among the guards can distinguish footprints and animal tracks? Come with me tomorrow."

Zhong Yi walked over and saw Yunxiu, Su Da, and the others whispering and planning revenge on the group of mandrill thieves. Zhong Yi shook his head and smiled, saying softly, "Why is my wife angry with a group of monkeys? They are just following their instincts."

Yunxiu stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Zhong Yi with a smile on her face. "Ayi is right, but we can't just let them take our food. We must win back this battle."

Zhong Yi walked over to Yun Xiu, smiled softly, and reminded her, "Those mandrills are just wild creatures with undeveloped intelligence. Don't go too far."

Yunxiu nodded. Her husband's words made sense. However, modern monkeys stealing people's things is not enough. Ancient monkeys also bullied people. Yunxiu couldn't stand it.

Early the next morning, Yunxiu led the guards and followed the system's instructions, following the traces left by the mandrills and tracking them all the way to their lair.

Their nest is a natural cave hidden deep in the dense forest. The entrance of the cave is covered by dense vines and bushes. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find this hidden place.
