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

This was something Xie Moyao hadn't expected.

He had just prepared that if Doctor Wu insisted on telling the Crown Prince about the unusual nature of his leg injury, he would take action and send Doctor Wu to his death.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Wu actually listened to Ji Yunshu and didn't reveal the matter.

Ji Yunshu shrugged, picked up a water pouch from the side, and handed it to Xie Moyao.

Xie Moyao naturally accepted it, opened the water pouch, and drank the spiritual spring water inside. It tasted sweet and made him feel very comfortable.

"What's so strange about that? Someone like Dr. Wu, who's practically half-buried, probably wanted to retire and enjoy his old age a long time ago."

Having finally had a healthy baby boy, his son's life was undoubtedly the most important thing. He also knew very well that since I knew about his concubine and son, I must have some ability; a man like him wouldn't easily risk his only heir.

Xie Moyao chuckled softly. If Ji Yunshu hadn't given him some books these past few days, which he had flipped through when he was bored, he wouldn't have understood what Ji Yunshu meant by "wife" and "only son".

"No wonder you asked me about Dr. Wu's background before."

"Yes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. This Doctor Wu is obviously here for you. As long as we find his weakness, he won't go against us for a while, but that may not be the case in the future."

Fortunately, I stopped him just now, preventing him from actually taking your pulse. Although he suspected there was something fishy about your injury, he ultimately had no evidence.

The two chatted casually, and the cave grew quieter and quieter until everyone fell asleep, leaving only the crackling sound of the fire.

Their voices were very soft, and only they could hear them.

I glanced at the time in the space; it was already 11:30 p.m.

Everyone was exhausted today. We finally found a dry cave, and everyone slept soundly.

The Wang family members squeezed into the tent. Xie Moyao's leg injury made it difficult for him to move, so Ji Yunshu didn't plan to bring him into the tent.

Anyway, there were weeds on the ground outside, covered with blankets, and a fire nearby. The temperature inside the cave wasn't low either, so we wouldn't catch a cold.

She and Xie Moyao decided to sleep where they were. She pulled the blanket up to cover Xie Moyao, then found a comfortable position for herself and lay down, pulling the blanket over herself.

She had just lain down when she found herself face to face with Xie Moyao.

Xie Moyao's complexion was much better than before, and his face had regained some color. Most importantly, his eyes were no longer lifeless, but full of hope.

At this moment, Xie Moyao was staring at her with wide eyes, his eyes filled with her reflection.

This made Ji Yunshu a little embarrassed, so she reached out and gently covered Xie Moyao's eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Go to sleep now, we have to get up early to travel tomorrow."

"My wife is really beautiful," Xie Moyao said casually.

As he spoke, his warm breath sprayed onto Ji Yunshu's palm, making her feel a little itchy.

Why is this guy's mouth getting so glib and slippery?

"Alright, go to sleep. You're tired after all today. Tomorrow seems like the road ahead will be even tougher. If I can't take care of you, you'll have to take care of yourself..."

"Bang."

Before Ji Yunshu could finish speaking, a faint sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

The sound was very soft. Normally, or when everyone was still awake, they might not have noticed such a soft sound. But now that it was quiet at night and everyone else was asleep, the sound was especially noticeable.

Both of them were startled. Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up. "That sounds like a signal flare. It's Mo Huan and the others!" she said excitedly.

She had been somewhat worried about Xie Mohuan and the others' situation, but now that she heard they were safe, she wasn't so anxious anymore.

Gently propping himself up, he looked out of the cave and saw the signal flare still lingering in the air.

She nodded to Xie Moyao, quietly got up and left the cave. She deliberately found a shady spot, made sure there was no one else around, and then took out a small signal flare from her spatial storage and lit the fuse.

"Chirp...bang."

A firework exploded in mid-air. The firework she took out wasn't very loud, but it emitted a very strong light.

This was an agreement she had made with Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu: if they were both safe and sound, they would send a message at night to let each other know that they were safe and sound.

She waited there for a while, making sure Xie Mohuan and the others had seen her signal flare, then rubbed her hands together, straightened her clothes, and prepared to turn back into the cave to catch up on her sleep.

But just as he took two steps, he suddenly heard several strange noises coming from inside the cave.

She quickly ducked into the shadows, looking towards the cave entrance with a puzzled expression.

Who would be out so late at night? Maybe someone came out to pee and she just happened to run into them?

Thinking of this, she also felt a bloating in her lower abdomen. Just as she was about to slip into the space to take care of her physiological needs, she saw Ah Cai swagger out of the cave entrance and go into the woods next to him.

A short while later, Aunt Zhu also sneaked out of the cave.

Ji Yunshu didn't want to watch any further, but Aunt Zhu's actions, which resembled those of a thief, piqued her curiosity.

For some inexplicable reason, she didn't return to her spatial dimension. Instead, she craned her neck, wanting to see what the two were up to, wondering if they were plotting something against her again.

She stood quietly in the corner, her eyes fixed on the two people not far away.

Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Zhu came out, she walked towards Ah Cai, who was not far away.

It was getting dark, and she was far away, so she couldn't see what the two were doing or hear what they were saying.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a drone from her spatial storage and a cover from the mall, completely covering the drone from head to toe, leaving only a small part of the camera exposed.

The drone was of very good quality; even when very close, it was very quiet, almost inaudible. In addition, it was dark, and with the cover camouflage, even she could not easily see what the drone looked like.

She placed the drone on the ground to the side, took out the remote control, and manipulated the drone to rise and slowly fly towards the two of them.

She wanted to see what these two were plotting.

As the drone drew closer, she could clearly see the two people not far away through the drone's camera.

Aunt Zhu was standing in front of Ah Cai with her head down, looking shy.

"Sir, please have mercy and spare us some food. As you can see, we haven't eaten in a long time. If we don't eat something soon, we might not make it through."

Aunt Zhu bit her lip. In her mid-thirties, she was still charming and had a shy look on her face, almost like a girl in her twenties.

Ah Cai wore a lewd grin, his eyes frequently glancing at Aunt Zhu's face, scrutinizing her from head to toe, his desire almost overflowing.
