Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Ji Yunshu paused, staring blankly at the large characters in her head.

What is that?

New supplies unlocked?

Overjoyed, she forgot all about checking on Xie Moyao and stood quietly in place. Her consciousness entered the space, and sure enough, she saw that the rice, flour, and cooking oil section of the mall was no longer gray and hazy, but had turned into a colorful display.

She walked over eagerly, picked up a jug of oil, and then a handful of noodles. Sure enough, she held the things firmly in her hands.

Before they were unlocked, she couldn't touch these things, but now she can actually hold them in her hands.

It seemed that she could take things out of this space from now on. She was excited when she caught a glimpse of the spot where she had just taken the oil and flour. There, the exact same thing had appeared out of thin air.

This made Ji Yunshu even more excited. Not only could she obtain the items in this space, but if she took one item, another would be created on the spot.

This should be the automatic replenishment function.

Oh my.

This is incredible! She's really struck gold!

Hahaha……

She still doesn't understand what triggered this resource unlocking.

She didn't seem to have done anything; it was just that the moment she touched Xie Moyao, the system in her head reminded her that some resources had been unlocked.

Is it...

If she touches Xie Moyao, will she be able to unlock the supplies in the space?

Wow, you've made a fortune!

Xie Moyao is currently paralyzed on one side and has little strength, so wouldn't that mean he'd be at her mercy?!

Hahaha!

Ji Yunshu could barely contain her smile. She pulled her thoughts away from her mind and was about to reach out and touch Xie Moyao's back again when she realized that Xie Lin had already carried Xie Moyao away.

And the exile procession slowly set off.

She quickly wiped the smile off her face and hurried after him, but in her mind she wanted to touch Xie Moyao again to see if her guess was right.

It was summer, and the exiled people had no carriages to ride in; even the officials escorting them walked.

The sun hung in the sky like a giant fireball, shining directly on the earth, and the flowers, plants and trees along the roadside looked sluggish.

The group of people who were exiled were all used to a life of luxury in the capital. After walking only a few steps, some of them could not hold on any longer.

Ji Yunyao called out in a coquettish voice, "Sir, can we rest for a bit? I can't walk anymore."

In the capital, she always had a gentle and charming image, but now her feet were hurting so badly that she had to keep her voice down as much as possible. The sun was so hot that her whole face was flushed red.

The official, sweating profusely from the heat, turned around and glared impatiently at the crowd. His gaze fell on Ji Yunyao, and after a pause, he said, "Rest where you are."

This sun is so hot it's unbearable.

They had walked this road countless times, but they had never encountered such hot weather as this year. The high temperature made the soles of their shoes burn.

Ji Yunshu found a big tree and led the Wangfu people to rest under its shade. They had only walked for half a day, but they were already exhausted. Everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to their bodies and making them very uncomfortable.

The group from the Prince's residence were alright. Their outer garments had been stripped off by the officials, leaving them only in their undergarments. Although it wasn't very presentable, it was actually quite cool compared to the others.

But in such hot weather, with the sun scorching you directly, even wearing thin clothes isn't very effective.

Ji Yunshu took a quick look and found that everyone, including the officials and others, looked parched and listless.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Xie Moyao's back. After sitting down, she carefully examined Xie Moyao's back. Apart from feeling no different from ribs when she touched it before, Xie Moyao's back was now soaked with sweat. His originally white undershirt was stained with some other stains, which looked like an infected and festering wound.

Ji Yunshu frowned, reached out and touched Xie Moyao's back. As soon as she touched him, Xie Moyao stiffened and turned around abruptly to glare at Ji Yunshu.

"Ji Yunshu, what are you doing!" Xie Moyao gritted his teeth. He always felt that Ji Yunshu's gaze towards him was filled with ill intent.

Ji Yunshu blinked. She really didn't have any other thoughts just now; she just wanted to see how Xie Moyao got a wound on his back.

She pursed her lips.

"Why are you so agitated? In broad daylight, do you think I'd eat you up? I'm just curious, you seem to have a wound on your back."

Xie Moyao paused, turned his head to the side, and didn't reply. His ears were slightly red. He had been lying in bed for so long and had a wound on his back, which even his mother and Xie Lin hadn't noticed.

Seeing that Xie Moyao remained silent, Ji Yunshu originally wanted to have Xie Lin take a look at the injuries on Xie Moyao's back, but then she remembered that Xie Lin seemed to have gone to the officials to get food.

Their food on the road was provided by the officials. Whenever it was mealtime or rest time, they could go to the officials to get their food.

With Xie Lin absent, and everyone else present being female, Ji Yunshu was even less suited to examine Xie Moyao's body. After a moment's thought, she didn't say anything more and moved closer to Xie Moyao.

Before Xie Moyao could even speak, he immediately moved Xie Moyao's body to face the other side, with his back to him, and ripped open the back of Xie Moyao's clothes.

"Ji Yunshu, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Xie Moyao roared, trying to struggle, but his lower body was immobile, and even if he could move his upper body a little, he didn't have much strength. He twisted his body for a long time but couldn't turn around, and instead made himself sweat profusely.

Ji Yunshu held Xie Moyao down to prevent him from moving. She stared intently at Xie Moyao's back, and when she saw the wound on his back, she gasped in shock.

Xie Moyao's scarred back had become ulcerated, with large festering areas oozing pus.

The wound was likely repeatedly infected, oozing pus, scabbing over, and the ulcerated area had spread to the entire back. Ji Yunshu felt that several of the ulcerated areas were rotting down to the bone.

Moreover, I don't know if it's because I was carried around today and it aggravated my wound, but there are many places bleeding.

His once-white undergarment was instantly stained red, a shocking sight. The wound also emitted a foul stench, and in just a short time, many flies swarmed around, trying to lick the wound on Xie Moyao's back.

If an ordinary woman saw this scene, she would probably feel nauseous and want to vomit.

But Ji Yunshu was a special agent in her previous life, and she had seen many such scenes. Although she was not as disgusted or nauseous as others, she still felt depressed.

Is this man an idiot? His wound is in this state, and he doesn't even say a word or groan!

If this continues, the flesh on his back will almost completely rot away, and if it gets infected over a large area, he'll die. He really doesn't value his own life!

Seeing Xie Moyao still acting nonchalantly, Ji Yunshu gritted her teeth in anger, grabbed his hand, and placed her own hand on it to take Xie Moyao's pulse.

The longer she took his pulse, the more her brows furrowed.
