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

That Ling Yun, he really has no sense of propriety at all, what's he staring at his wife for?!

Didn't you see he's still here? He's already being merciful by not kicking him out!

Ling Yun's heart was still warm just moments before, but Xie Moyao's sudden shout startled her, making her feel a chill on her neck and lessen the pain in her head.

He clutched his head, struggled to sit up, and nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I'll go out right away. Thank you so much, Your Highness. I will remember your life-saving grace. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

After saying that, he hurriedly got off the carriage.

Ling Yun was so conflicted; anyone who didn't know better would probably think he was the exiled prisoner!

He had long heard that the prince's aura was different from that of ordinary people, but he had not had much contact with Xie Moyao, so he naturally did not notice it.

But just now, he truly sensed it; he seemed to see murderous intent in the prince's eyes.

However, no matter what, his life was pulled back from the brink of death by the princess today, and from now on, his life will probably belong to the princess.

With that thought in mind, Ling Yun returned to the group.

As soon as he approached the group, several officers hurriedly gathered around him.

"Hey, big brother, are you feeling any better? How did you get better so quickly? The princess's medical skills are amazing!"

"Yes, yes, when did the princess's medical skills become so good? You have no idea! When we just carried you to the carriage, you were barely clinging to life. You have no idea how critical the situation was!"

"Yes, brother, what kind of medicine did the princess give you in the carriage? It was so amazing that you were full of energy in such a short time!"

I've never seen a doctor with such good medical skills before. Also, what's that bump on your forehead?

As one of the officers spoke, his hand reached out to touch Ling Yun's forehead. Ling Yun's forehead was wrapped in gauze, a white patch, and much of his hair had been shaved off.

The moment his hand touched Ling Yun's forehead, Ling Yun flinched in pain and slapped his hand away.

"Touch, touch, touch! What are you touching! It hurts so much! When the princess treated my wounds in the carriage, I was unconscious and I don't even know how she treated me!"

Anyway, this is how I was when I woke up. Was I really just clinging to life when I was first brought in?

"Of course, why would we lie to you? Sending you to the princess was a last resort."

"That's right, boss. Doctor Li is only responsible for the eldest prince and won't care about our lives. We're worried that if we delay any longer, you'll be dead!"

There was no other way, so we went to the Princess for help. To our surprise, she agreed and actually cured you!

The officials spoke with mixed feelings.

This matter left them all somewhat bewildered. From last night until this morning, the eldest prince had never once considered caring about their lives or deaths!

They were acting on orders from the imperial court, carrying out the court's duties, yet the Crown Prince truly showed no concern for their lives!

On the contrary, it was the princess and the prince who saved their lives time and time again.

This made them question whether the court they had always been loyal to was truly the right one.

The princess and the prince seem to be the good people.

The officers exchanged glances. Although they thought the same thing, none of them dared to say it aloud, but they understood what the other was thinking.

Ling Yun lowered his head and softly responded.

"Yes, I understand. I already spoke with the Prince and Princess in the carriage. If they ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost. Regardless of whether they are exiled prisoners or not, they saved my life, and I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

Listen up, all of you! From now on, you are not allowed to bully anyone from the Prince's Mansion on the road. Not only that, but if you see them in trouble, you must help them out.

He had barely finished speaking when one of the officers muttered something under his breath.

"Help? We don't need to help at all! The princess is like a god, she has prepared everything for her, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Not only that, she has hidden weapons, knows some martial arts, has money, and she also knows medicine!"

Any one of their items is far superior to ours; I don't know who's taking care of whom.

The other officers lowered their heads upon hearing these words.

That's right. Now it's evolved into the princess occasionally taking care of them.

They dare not presumptuously claim that they will take care of the people in the Prince's Mansion.

Ling Yun didn't say anything more, but simply reminded everyone to remember what he had just said.

The officials nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, not far away, Chu Jinsheng sat on the edge of the carriage, keeping a close eye on the commotion.

From the very beginning, when the officials dragged Ling Yun into Ji Yunshu's carriage and asked Ji Yunshu to treat him, he began to observe.

Back in the village, he had thought that Ji Yunshu's cure of everyone's illnesses was just a fluke, and now that Lingyun was so seriously ill, Ji Yunshu would definitely not dare to take over.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu not only accepted the treatment, but also cured Ling Yun!

In such a short time, Ling Yun was cured!

He had seen Ling Yun's condition clearly before; he was exhaling more than inhaling!

How did Ji Yunshu manage to do that in such a short time?

Could it be that she has some kind of special ability?

The more Chu Jinsheng thought about it, the more likely it seemed. At this moment, his desire to snatch Ji Yunshu away reached its peak.

Whether Ji Yunshu loves him or likes him or not doesn't matter. All he wants now is for Ji Yunshu to stay by his side and help him with his tasks!

He believed that as long as he could keep Ji Yunshu by his side, her heart would eventually return to him.

Just then, Xiao Wu came over carrying a plate of crayfish and crabs.

"Your Highness, the food is cooked and we have tasted it. There is nothing strange about it. Your Highness can eat it without worry."

Chu Jinsheng took the lobster and crab from Xiao Wu's hand, tore off a crab leg, and put it in his mouth.

He was so hungry that he had been worried that the crabs and lobsters might carry some strange disease and infect him, but now he couldn't care less. If he didn't get something to eat soon, he would starve to death.

The villagers have been eating lobsters and crabs for so long without any problems, so these two things must not be poisonous.

Moreover, judging by the time, the doctor he sent to fetch should be arriving soon.

Even if there really is a problem, by the time the poison takes effect, the doctor he called should have arrived. As long as it's not a fatal poison, he doesn't believe that the imperial physicians in the palace can't cure it!

Thinking of this, he moved even faster, tearing off the head of a crayfish, removing the shrimp vein, and stuffing the shrimp meat into his mouth.

It was indeed incredibly fresh.

No wonder the villagers went crazy trying to get this stuff; the taste is comparable to, or even better than, the dishes prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace.
