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

Ji Yunyao was terrified and kept moving towards Ji Yunshu and Chu Jinsheng, desperately hiding behind them.

Ji Yunshu took a deep breath as she looked at Chu Jinsheng's pathetic state.

This eldest prince still lacks experience. What's the use of staying in the capital for so long? If he really encounters danger, he won't even have the ability to protect himself!

Her arm was grabbed by Chu Jinsheng, and she impatiently pulled it back, coldly saying, "Your Highness, aren't you so capable? You kept saying you wanted to kill me, and now you're asking me to save your life. The words you utter are really just like farts."

"Ji Yunshu, that's enough! What time is it now? We're surrounded by so many crocodiles, you need to think of a way to escape! If you keep dragging this out, none of us will be able to leave!"

Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to waste any more words with him.

"What an idiot! It's obvious to anyone with eyes that these crocodiles are surrounding us! It's all because of these eggs in our hands!"

To tell you the truth, these eggs were laid by crocodiles. Crocodiles are extremely protective of their young. You took their eggs, and you even took them all! Who else would they chase but you? You're asking for trouble!

Everyone was shocked and looked at the eggs in Ji Yunshu's hand in disbelief.

"What! Those eggs... they're crocodile eggs?!"

"Why did Ji Yunyao suddenly pick up the crocodile eggs and leave? No wonder these crocodiles attacked us like that!"

"That's right, it's all her fault! If she hadn't taken away other people's crocodile eggs, these crocodiles definitely wouldn't have attacked us."

The princess said that these crocodiles generally don't attack people unless we provoke them. It's all Ji Yunyao's fault; she really got us killed!

"That's right, that venomous woman! She framed the princess before, but who would have thought it was her doing!"

Chu Jinsheng opened his mouth, staring in shock at the eggs on the deck, then at the crocodiles under the carriage.

Sure enough, the crocodiles kept their eyes fixed on those eggs.

He immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Could this really be a crocodile egg?

These crocodiles chased after them relentlessly because of these few eggs?

He looked at Ji Yunyao, pointed at the eggs on the deck, and his face was full of anger.

"Where did you get these eggs?! Do you know you almost got me killed?!"

Ji Yunyao looked completely innocent, her face streaked with tears, and she shook her head frantically.

"I don't know, Brother Jinsheng, I don't know! I didn't know these were their eggs! I was so hungry in the woods that I found some eggs there and thought I'd bring them back and cook them to help you recover."

I really didn't know these were crocodile eggs! If I had known they were crocodile eggs, I wouldn't have touched them!

Worried that Chu Jinsheng wouldn't believe her, Ji Yunyao cried again.

"Brother Jinsheng, believe me, I really didn't mean it. I grew up in the capital and have never seen such a monster before. I don't know where they came from, and I certainly wouldn't recognize that those are their eggs!"

"Brother Jinsheng, you can't blame me for this. Ignorance is no excuse. Besides, I wanted to save those eggs to nourish you."

Ji Yunyao kept talking, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.

Although Chu Jinsheng was angry, he calmed down somewhat.

Ji Yunyao was right in some ways. She had lived in the capital for many years and could not possibly recognize such a monster, let alone know that it was a crocodile egg.

But what happened today was all caused by her. If she hadn't touched those crocodile eggs, she wouldn't have been chased all over the mountain by crocodiles!

Ji Yunshu snorted and gave her a mocking look.

"Ji Yunyao, you really are sharp-tongued! Even if you don't know these are crocodile eggs, I've already made it very clear that these crocodiles are chasing us so much because someone must have tampered with their things!"

Since you didn't know what this was, you should have shown it to us! But you kept quiet, putting everyone in danger. When it comes to ruthlessness, you're a hundred times more ruthless than me! Your pretentious act is truly disgusting.

Ji Yunyao, already on edge, couldn't take it anymore after hearing Ji Yunshu's words and screamed at her.

"Ji Yunshu, what kind of good thing are you! Did you already know these were crocodile eggs, but deliberately kept quiet! You just wanted to pin everything on me! You're the real slut!"

She screamed loudly and suddenly, startling everyone around her, including the crocodiles.

The crocodiles were already incredibly excited to see the crocodile eggs, and when Ji Yunyao startled them, they immediately had a stress response, opening their mouths wide and swishing their tails as they relentlessly attacked the carriage.

The already shaky carriage was on the verge of falling apart under the attack of the crocodiles.

The crocodile eggs on the carriage deck were rolling around and were about to fall off, but Ji Yunshu reacted quickly and protected the remaining eggs in her bundle.

She planned to gently place the crocodiles down with her hands, but she only had two hands. The crocodile eggs rolled around on the carriage floor, and she only managed to grab a few. The other one rolled right up to Ji Yunyao.

Ji Yunyao panicked. As the crocodile egg rolled toward her, and the eyes of the other crocodiles fell on her, their green eyes fixed on her, she felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose on her skin.

A sudden panic gripped her, and she reached out and abruptly swept the crocodile egg away.

"Ah! Go away! Don't come near me! Don't come near me!"

Although the crocodile egg was quite large, it was still just an egg, light and round. With a sweep of her hand, it rolled right out.

With a "crack," it rolled straight off the carriage floor and shattered on the ground, spilling its bright yellow yolk and clear egg white all over the floor.

Everyone gasped in shock upon seeing this.

It's over.

These crocodiles chased this far just because of these eggs. Now that they see their eggs shatter right in front of them, can they still control the situation?

Sure enough, just as everyone was thinking this, the crocodile lying on the ground paused for a long time before it reacted, seemingly realizing what had rolled down.

When they realized that the eggs that had fallen to the ground were their own, the crocodiles went even more berserk, their movements becoming much more aggressive, and they began to attack the carriage where Ji Yunshu and the others were without regard for their lives.

No matter how the guards tried to stop them, the crocodiles seemed determined to target the carriage and wouldn't give up until they got the people on it off.

Ji Yunshu's expression also changed. This Ji Yunyao is really courting death! It's one thing to mess with these crocodile eggs, but now she actually broke the eggs in front of them. What's the difference between this and killing someone's son in front of others?

It seems I'm destined for a big battle with these crocodiles today.
