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

Zhang Lizheng and Old Zhao's eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I think this method will work. Your Highness, you really know how to come up with ideas!"

Xiao Ergou stood to the side, watching them with a smile.

"Alright, since it's decided, I'll take my men to the nearby woods to find vines."

After saying that, he didn't linger there. He turned around and led several strong young men from the village into the nearby woods.

Ji Yunshu had ropes in her spatial storage, but she didn't say anything in the face of this situation.

She needed to distract everyone, otherwise, with all eyes on her, she really couldn't be bothered to explain to everyone.

After Xiao Er Gou and the other men left, the group quieted down. They had just eaten breakfast and weren't hungry.

Ji Yunshu, Zhang Lizheng, and others told everyone to rest, and the villagers didn't urge them on.

In their hearts, as long as the princess was there, they would be able to walk out of here safely, it was just a matter of time, and they had plenty of patience.

They didn't urge him, but Chu Jinsheng had little patience.

"Ji Yunshu, what are you doing sitting here? Are you coming or not? The weather's so nice, if you don't leave soon it'll rain again!"

What was Ji Yunshu thinking? The weather was so nice, why didn't they take advantage of this time to travel? What if it started raining again and they were trapped in this deep mountain forest?!

Ji Yunshu was originally preparing to enter the space to see if there was a suitable rope. Before she even entered the space, Chu Jinsheng stood in front of her, his condescending tone was simply annoying.

"Your Highness, what are you yelling about? Are you deaf or something? Didn't Little Dog say we were going to rest here?"

If you want to move forward, then go ahead, no one's stopping you. Don't be a shadow, just following us around all day.

It keeps running out and barking every now and then, it's really annoying. If this person weren't the eldest prince, she would definitely kick him off this cliff.

Chu Jinsheng's eyes widened. Ji Yunshu actually called him a tagalong?

Isn't this what he often said to Ji Yunshu back in the capital?

Back then, Ji Yunshu followed him around every day, like a little shadow, impossible to shake off, which annoyed him to no end. Unexpectedly, one day their roles were reversed, and he became the one following behind Ji Yunshu.

Who is he?

He is the noble eldest prince!

With so many guards behind him, would he be willing to follow Ji Yunshu?

"Very well, Ji Yunshu, you're something else, actually calling me a tagalong. You've probably forgotten how you used to follow me around in the capital all day long, calling out 'Brother Jinsheng, Brother Jinsheng,' haven't you?"

Don't you even consider who's the real sycophant? Do you really think I, this prince, can't leave this place without you?!

"Since you won't leave, then I, the prince, will leave myself. I refuse to believe that with so many guards, I can't even get through this place. Get out of my way!"

He glared at Ji Yunshu with his eyes, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lizheng and Old Man Zhao were so frightened that they froze to the side.

After realizing what had happened, the two quickly stepped aside, clearing the way for them.

Ji Yunshu's lips curled slightly as she looked at Chu Jinsheng with a half-smile.

"Oh, Your Highness, since you're so confident, then you may proceed. Oh, by the way, don't blame me for not warning you, there's a bottomless abyss below. If you slip and fall, you'll likely be reduced to ashes. Your Highness, please be very careful."

She was worried about how to remove the moss from the stone steps, and since the eldest prince and his entourage were leaving first, it suited her just fine.

After the Crown Prince and his entourage passed by, the moss on the stone steps would likely have been trampled away, making it much less dangerous for the villagers and the people from the Prince's residence to walk on.

"Ji Yunshu, you...!"

Chu Jinsheng was furious with Ji Yunshu. Seeing that Ji Yunshu had a calm and indifferent expression from beginning to end, he felt like he had punched a cotton ball. He angrily flicked his sleeve.

"Ji Yunshu, you wait. There will come a day when you'll be begging me. Think carefully about your current status. When you finally come begging to me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he turned around angrily and looked at Xiao Wu and the others behind him.

"Alright, if they want to rest here, we'll leave them be. Let's go and get out of this forest as soon as possible. When we return to the capital, I, the prince, will reward them all!"

His words immediately boosted the morale of the guards, who rubbed their hands together and crowded in front of him, eager to get started.

"Alright, Your Highness, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry over here. There are many of us; we can take our time and walk slowly, one after another. There shouldn't be any problem!"

The man who spoke was full of energy. He was the one who escorted the supplies from the capital for Chu Jinsheng. As soon as he arrived, the supplies he was escorting were swindled away by Ji Yunshu. He had long disliked Ji Yunshu, but he had never dared to say anything because of his status.

Seeing that Chu Jinsheng's attitude towards Ji Yunshu was also bad, his disgust for Ji Yunshu increased, and even his gaze towards Ji Yunshu became more murderous.

When he gets the chance, he'll definitely tear that damned princess to pieces and take back all the supplies and gold he's worked so hard to bring back from the capital!

Don't you even know your place? How dare you steal from the First Prince?!

His gaze was undisguised, fixed directly on Ji Yunshu, and even Xiao Wu, who was standing next to him, noticed it.

Xiao Wu originally wanted to remind him, but considering the man's temper, Xiao Wu had no choice but to give up. Given his temper, he figured that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't change his ways.

This person usually relies on his own abilities to belittle others in front of the First Prince and the others. Thinking of this, Xiao Wu simply stopped paying attention to him and silently stood aside to watch the show.

Since he's courting death, I can't be bothered with him.

Ji Yunshu hadn't originally intended to pay attention to the people in front of her. Holding the map in her hand, she prepared to start studying where to tie the rope on both sides.

Suddenly, she noticed someone staring at her. She initially thought it was Chu Jinsheng and looked up impatiently, ready to shoo the person away. However, she discovered that it wasn't Chu Jinsheng staring at her, but a person dressed as a guard.

This person was wearing a full suit of armor, and his aura seemed even stronger than Xiao Wu's.

Head held high, with an air of superiority.

Ji Yunshu narrowed her eyes.

The dogs Chu Jinsheng keeps are all incredibly tactless.

She didn't look away, staring straight at the person in front of her, a smile even playing on her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Standing to the side, Xiao Wu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Ji Yunshu's expression.

After dealing with Ji Yunshu for some time, he felt that the princess was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing.

If he's mistaken, the princess's gaze right now is quite dangerous.

He felt a cold snake crawl across his back.
