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

At the same time, the screen in front of him also displayed the real-time monitoring footage from the drone.

Seeing how quickly he got the hang of it, Ji Yunshu nodded approvingly.

This guy is really smart. She only showed him once, and he was able to operate the drone so skillfully.

She picked up the remote control next to her and operated her drone, explaining its various functions and how to use it to him as she did so.

In addition, she taught Xie Moyao how to use the drone's microphone to call out Xie Mohuan's name in mid-air, and the drone's speaker would amplify their voices.

While operating the drone to search, they called out Xie Mohuan's name, which greatly increased their chances of finding her.

Xie Moyao was secretly amazed by the drone's amazing capabilities, but he didn't dare to let his guard down. He carefully piloted the drone, shuttling back and forth through the mountains and forests, while constantly calling out Xie Mohuan's name.

"Little sister, little sister, are you nearby? Little sister, it's me, your third brother! It's me, your third brother! If you hear my voice, please answer me!"

"Little sister, can you hear me? This is my third sister-in-law. Are you nearby? If you are, please call me back!"

"Mo Huan!"

"Little sister!"

The two people inside the carriage operated the drone, constantly searching for Xie Mohuan, and their voices grew louder and louder.

Outside the carriage, everyone listened to the sounds coming from inside, and they were all somewhat puzzled.

"What were the princess and prince calling out to each other inside the carriage?"

"I heard it. They seem to be calling Xie Mohuan. Xie Mohuan seems to be the prince's sister."

By the way, it seems Xie Mohuan hasn't returned to the group yet; the prince and the others are looking for her.

"What? How could this happen? Should we help look for it?"

"No need. When we heard that Xie Mohuan hadn't returned, we went to search for her immediately, but we couldn't find her anywhere within several miles. It's as if she vanished into thin air."

The villagers' chatter grew louder, but they dared not speak too loudly, for fear that the other people in the Prince's mansion would hear and stir up their painful memories.

But it was too late.

The old princess wasn't too worried before, but after hearing what everyone said, her heart instantly jumped into her throat.

Didn't the third brother's wife say that Mo Huan was alright? Didn't she say that she would be found soon? What exactly happened?

Did Mo Huan ever come back? Or has something happened to her?

The old princess was anxious. She grabbed Li's hand and hurriedly walked towards the carriage, wanting to go inside and ask about the situation.

Just then, Xie Lin returned. He circled around several times but couldn't find Xie Mohuan anywhere. Not only Xie Mohuan, but even his older brother Xie Mu was nowhere to be seen.

He saw the old princess talking in front of the carriage, seemingly wanting to get on, but Xiao Lan was stopping her.

Seeing that Xiaolan was about to be unable to stop her, Xie Lin quickly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, please rest for a while. The Prince and Princess are trying to find a solution regarding Miss Mo Huan. Don't worry, the Prince and Princess love Miss Mo Huan so much, they will definitely find her as soon as possible."

We can't panic at a time like this. Since the Prince and Princess are in the carriage, they must be doing something important. We should just wait patiently outside the carriage.

Xie Lin spoke solemnly, and then stood at the carriage door, subtly blocking the old princess and the others from entering the carriage, and also blocking the view of others.

Since the prince and princess were in the carriage, and Xiaolan was guarding the carriage door, they must be doing something strange and unusual inside the carriage that they couldn't let others see.

Xie Lin took a deep breath. Fortunately, he returned early. Otherwise, once the old princess, the first wife, and the second wife lifted the carriage curtain, the scene inside the carriage would have been revealed to everyone.

Although these villagers now believe in their prince and princess, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing. The prince has instructed them to protect the princess's secret no matter what.

The old princess was not an unreasonable person; she had just panicked in her anxiety.

Hearing Xie Lin's words, and hearing Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao calling Xie Mohuan's name repeatedly in the car, the old princess finally sighed.

"Okay, I understand. As you said, the third brother and his wife should already be trying to find Mo Huan. I'll wait outside for a bit. Call me as soon as they come out!"

Xie Lin nodded and glanced at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan was quick-witted and immediately went to the old princess, helping her to sit down to the side.

Thanks to Sherlin's obstruction, no one could see what was happening inside the carriage.

Although the villagers were curious as to why the prince and princess kept calling Xie Mohuan's name from inside the carriage, they didn't care since they couldn't see what was happening inside.

The officials shrugged and withdrew their gaze, focusing their attention on their own affairs.

They weren't too worried about Xie Mohuan's disappearance. Everyone had seen what had just happened. Whether Xie Mohuan was alive or dead, Ling Yun would report the truth to the court.

With so many eyewitnesses, he wasn't afraid of being blamed by the imperial court.

As for whether Xie Mohuan is alive or dead, he can't care that much. The prince and princess care about Xie Mohuan so much, they should find her no matter what.

Then, he could go with the flow and send Xie Mohuan's news back to the capital, thus completing his mission.

Ling Yun also wanted to find Xie Mohuan, since Ji Yunshu had done him a great favor by saving his life. He wanted to find Xie Mohuan to repay Ji Yunshu's kindness and reduce the debt of gratitude he owed her.

Unfortunately, having recently suffered a serious injury, he was now in dire straits and could barely protect himself, so he had no reason to send his men to find Xie Mohuan.

It was common for people to die or go missing in the exile procession; their officials were only responsible for escorting them, not for protecting them.

Inside the carriage, Xie Moyao and Ji Yunshu's shouts continued.

Everyone else was indifferent, but the most eager were the guards under the First Prince.

Everyone has seen the Crown Prince's recent attitude towards Ji Yunshu. Right now, the Crown Prince is craning his neck, trying to see what's going on inside the carriage. If any of them can find out what's going on inside the carriage in time, the Crown Prince will definitely give them a great reward!

They walked back and forth several times, looking up, down, left, and right, but the carriage was completely surrounded, and they couldn't see what was inside at all.

Xiao Wu was smarter than the others. Knowing that there was no way to find out what was going on inside the carriage, he sent a few of his men to search for Xie Mohuan along the route the monster had taken.

Whether Xie Mohuan lives or dies, he is of utmost importance to the people of the Prince's Mansion and the First Prince.

They had to find Xie Mohuan before the people from the Prince's residence, so that the eldest prince would have leverage to negotiate with the princess.
