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

He seemed to have completely forgotten how he had treated Ji Yunshu before.

Ji Yunshu looked at him as if he were an idiot, her eyebrows almost furrowed together.

"Chu Jinsheng, are you crazy? Did you even think before you said those things?"

"You are the eldest prince, I am not worthy of your status. Besides, I am already married to Xie Moyao, I belong to him in life and in death."

"Your Highness, aren't you deeply in love with my dear sister? You've already promised her the position of your principal wife. What? Are you planning to bring both of us sisters into the household?"

She looked at Chu Jinsheng with a half-smile, her eyes full of mockery.

"Your Highness, please stop saying such absurd things. As for the Prince's Mansion's crime, we all know whether the Prince's Mansion is guilty or not. I may not be able to investigate this matter right now, but when I am free in the future, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Once it is discovered that the Prince's Mansion is truly innocent, I will make amends for all the suffering the people of the Prince's Mansion have endured these past few days.

Her tone was indifferent, but her meaning was clear: there was absolutely no possibility between her and him. Moreover, because of the matter at the Prince's Mansion, they might become enemies in the future, and she would show no mercy then.

Chu Jinsheng bit his lip. Ji Yunshu would never be able to find out even the slightest clue about the Prince's Mansion.

She had no chance to return to the capital. Once she arrived in the Northwest, far from the capital and with the emperor far away, even if she had some ability, she couldn't extend her reach to the capital.

As for Ji Yunyao...

"There is indeed some affection between me and Yao'er, otherwise I wouldn't have taken care of her all this way. But Yao'er is kind-hearted and understanding. If she knew my decision, she would definitely support me."

"Don't worry, if you want to be the principal wife, I will make Yao'er a concubine. She will definitely not compete with you."

"Just agree to my request. I don't need you to take care of Xie Moyao anymore. I want you to come back to my side and be like you were back in the capital, when you followed me around every day."

I admit I neglected you back then, but don't worry, it won't happen again. Just promise me, and I'll write to Father Emperor in the capital right away!

I will do my best to speak up for you in front of the Emperor. Even if the Emperor doesn't agree, I can still help you fake your death and escape.

Once things calm down a bit, I'll find you a quiet place where you can stay. I'll visit you often.

In his anxiety, Chu Jinsheng blurted out all the thoughts that were on his mind, thoughts that he had carefully considered.

He made up his mind.

After all, Ji Yunshu was an exiled person, and if he were to rescue Ji Yunshu from the exiled group, he would also be taking a great risk.

However, compared to Ji Yunshu's role, he was still willing to take this risk. The main reason was that he really didn't want Ji Yunshu to stay by Xie Moyao's side anymore. Watching Ji Yunshu take such good care of Xie Moyao, it felt like a knife was cutting into his heart, causing him excruciating pain.

Ji Yunshu narrowed her eyes slightly; in her eyes, the eldest prince was practically a fool.

What kind of brainless person would say such a thing?

Does he think this is a transaction?

If you tell her to leave Xie Moyao, she'll obediently leave him? If you tell her to stay by his side, she'll obediently stay by his side?

She is a person, not a pet.

She's too lazy to even say a word of nonsense to Chu Jinsheng now; he's lost his mind and can't understand what others are saying.

"Your Highness, please leave. I have made things very clear to you. Do not come looking for me again. What you said will never happen in this lifetime."

After saying that, she walked around Chu Jinsheng and continued forward. She wanted to find a secluded place to go into her space to get some food. She didn't want the eldest prince to follow her like a fly!

Chu Jinsheng was momentarily stunned. He had already said so much, and as the eldest prince, he was almost pleading with Ji Yunshu. But Ji Yunshu was far too ungrateful!

What does he want from her to come back to him?

There's no need to argue with him for so long!

He didn't believe some of what Ji Yunshu said. He didn't believe that Ji Yunshu had admired him for many years in the capital, and that she really had no feelings for him at all.

She must be holding a grudge against him for forcing her to marry Xie Moyao, so she's deliberately trying to provoke him.

"Ji Yunshu, this is your last chance. Once this opportunity is gone, it will be gone forever. I have never spoken to anyone like this before. You need to be sensible and know when to be content!"

"I've already promised you that you could become the Crown Prince's consort, what more do you want!"

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet on the spot. After a long time without getting a response, when he turned around, he found that Ji Yunshu had already walked away!

He watched helplessly as Ji Yunshu walked further and further away. He wanted to catch up, but he dared not get too close to her because Ji Yunshu seemed to have been infected with the plague.

There were guards following not far away. If he were to eagerly follow Ji Yunshu after her, how would they laugh at him!

His pride as the eldest prince wouldn't allow him to do that.

Ji Yunshu kept walking without turning around, her voice drifting lightly from the front.

There is absolutely no possibility between us in this lifetime.

She wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't have any romantic feelings for the eldest prince.

Hearing those few words so casually, Chu Jinsheng almost vomited blood in anger.

He thought that after he had humbled himself so much, Ji Yunshu would surely turn back, but unexpectedly, she was stubborn to the end and said that there was absolutely no possibility of it in this lifetime!

snort!

One day, he will make Ji Yunshu regret it.

Not far away, several guards stood there dumbfounded. They were quite far away and at first didn't know what the Crown Prince and Ji Yunshu were talking about.

Especially Xiao Wu, who was originally glad that the eldest prince and the princess had really reconciled. That would be great, since the eldest prince was in a high position and the princess was capable. The chances of the eldest prince ascending the throne would be even greater!

He was initially cheerful, but when he saw that the two seemed to have parted on bad terms, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

The eldest prince is such a noble person, yet the princess just left him standing there and left?

The two of them couldn't reach an agreement.

"It's all over, it's all over. His plans are going to fall apart again." Just as he was thinking this, he saw the First Prince glaring at them angrily.

Xiao Wu quickly led the other guards around, lowered their heads, and pretended not to have heard or seen what had just happened, as if they wanted to bury their heads in their necks.

The eldest prince is concerned about his reputation, so they must pretend they don't know what just happened.

Chu Jinsheng was so angry that his chest ached, and he stood there for a long time before he could catch his breath.

Meanwhile, behind a large tree, Ling Yun and several officials lay prone and had also witnessed everything that had just happened.
