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

He stared intently at Ji Yunyao. The eldest prince was the only chance for the Shangshu family. As long as the eldest prince was willing to help them, they would still have a chance.

After all, no one knew the ins and outs of this matter better than the eldest prince.

Ji Yunyao gritted her teeth, secretly glared at Ji Yunshu with venom in her eyes, and then turned to look at Minister Ji, her usual calm expression returning.

"Father, rest assured. When I left the capital, the eldest prince came to see me. He said he would find a way to clear the name of the Minister's family. Moreover, I once saw the method of making a weapon in an ancient book. That weapon was extremely powerful; even a small one could kill many people. I memorized the steps in the book. I have destroyed that ancient book. Now, I am the only one in the world who knows how to make that weapon."

The First Prince also knows about this matter. I've already discussed it with him. He will do his best to clear the name of the Minister's Mansion, and I will use my knowledge to help him create that weapon and then help him ascend the throne. He even promised me that if he becomes emperor, I will be the one sitting on the throne!

Ji Yunyao became more and more confident as she spoke. She was confident in this point, after all, no one in the world could make such a powerful weapon.

Once that weapon is made, unifying the world will be a piece of cake.

Minister Ji's eyes lit up. "Really! There really is such a powerful thing in the world?!"

Ji Yunyao nodded, her tone quite smug, "Of course, just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Minister Ji nodded repeatedly, then glanced at Ji Yunyao and tentatively asked,

"In that case, Yao'er, why don't you tell me the formula and we can study it together? If we can develop this amazing thing as soon as possible, our Minister's Mansion can return to the capital sooner and no longer have to suffer the pain of exile."

Ji Yunyao's smile froze on her lips. She subtly shifted her gaze away. She wasn't stupid; she knew what kind of person her father was and what he was up to.

Moreover, these things are important stepping stones for her future success, so how could she tell others casually?

Even if that person is her own father.

"Dad, I don't remember the recipe very clearly either. Didn't I say we'd study it slowly when we had time? These days, I haven't been sleeping or eating well, and my brain is like a mess. Who can remember the recipe?"

After saying that, she turned around and plopped down on a rock, no longer saying a word to Minister Ji.

Minister Ji gritted his teeth, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. Then, his smile deepened as he approached Ji Yunyao and continued earnestly, urging her to think carefully about how the weapon's formula was made.

No matter what she said, Ji Yunyao only replied with one sentence: "I forgot, I don't know."

Their conversation reached the ears of Ji Yunfeng and Aunt Zhu, but the two remained calm and acted as if they hadn't heard anything, though they each had their own plans in mind.

riverside.

Ji Yunshu rolled up her trouser legs and groped around in the river. The river was crystal clear in the morning. She pretended to grope around in the river for a while, and finally, when no one was paying attention, she picked out two fish weighing about four or five pounds from the aquatic product area of ​​the space and held them firmly in her hands.

"Wow, I caught it! I caught it! We can have fish soup this morning!"

She excitedly rushed back to shore with the two fish in her arms; both fish were alive, their tails swaying from side to side.

The people on the shore were completely dumbfounded. They never expected that Ji Yunyao would catch two big fish with her bare hands!

The two fish were still alive, clearly just caught from the river. Even the officials were dumbfounded, staring at Ji Yunshu in shock. They had crossed this river countless times, but had never caught anything to eat in it before.

Ji Yunshu's luck is just too good! Not only did she catch fish on her first try, but they were also so big, and there were two of them!

This kind of luck is like being hit by a pie falling from the sky, it's even harder than being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

"My goodness, this princess is amazing! She caught two fish with her bare hands! How did she do that?!"

"I wasn't paying much attention when suddenly I saw her pull those two fish out. It was unbelievable! I've never seen anything like it before, let alone caught it! I've never even seen fish that big!"

"What great luck! What incredible luck!"

Everyone stared enviously at the two fish in Ji Yunshu's hand, their mouths watering. They hadn't had a proper meal for two days, their stomachs were rumbling, and they were starving.

The fish in Ji Yunshu's hands were, to them, just two pieces of walking pork belly.

Xie Lin and Xie Mohuan eagerly approached Ji Yunshu, staring with curiosity at the two fish in her hands. Xie Mohuan excitedly said...

"Wow, Third Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You caught two such big fish! And you caught them with your bare hands! I've never seen anyone so good before!" Xie Mohuan said, her eyes shining as she stared at the fish in Ji Yunshu's hands.

Xie Lin was also dumbfounded. How could this princess be more capable than him? He did have some martial arts skills. Last night, he wanted to check if there were any fish in the river, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find anything. This morning, he also looked for a while and found nothing. Unexpectedly, the princess caught two such big fish after only a short time in the river.

That's really impressive.

Ji Yunshu smiled, not changing the subject to the two fish, but instead handing one of them to the two of them.

"Go kill the fish quickly and make a pot of fish soup. Let's eat our fill before we set off." Xie Mohuan nodded excitedly, picked up a fish that weighed four or five pounds, and ran away quickly with Xie Lin.

Even their steps became much lighter.

Ji Yunshu glanced at the other fish in her hand, picked it up, and walked towards where the officials were resting.

The officials had witnessed Ji Yunshu catching the fish, and now that they saw her walking towards them with the fish, their expressions were complicated.

Could Ji Yunshu have come here to show off to them? Thinking of this, the officials' expressions turned somewhat ugly.

Ji Yunshu took in the expressions on the officials' faces and nodded slightly. Sure enough, human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation, especially in this situation. Seeing others find food while they themselves do not, it is always uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she had already made a plan and directly picked out the two largest fish from her spatial storage.

She waved the fish in her hand and smiled at the officer.

"Gentlemen, I caught too many fish, and we can't finish them all, so I brought one over for you to have a treat."

The officials were stunned and dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Ji Yunshu to be so understanding. They had only caught two fish, yet she was willing to give them a whole one!

A constable stepped forward with a smile, "Oh, Your Highness, what are you saying? How could we possibly mind? We don't mind at all! It's really kind of you to think of treating us brothers to a meal. How could we possibly accept that? Hehehe..."

As the official smiled, his hand involuntarily took the fish from Ji Yunshu's hand.
