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

Every time they moved, the rain seemed to have eyes and feet, following their every step.

Wherever they went, the rain followed them; wherever they were, the rain kept falling, and it only fell where they were.

Chu Jinsheng was completely dumbfounded. Had they been possessed by an evil spirit? How could this be?

It was the first time he had ever seen someone leave a spot in the rain, and then watch them get soaked.

He even suspected that the rain was coming specifically for him!

I've encountered a ghost! It's really a ghost! I've never encountered anything so outrageous in my life.

There was something eerie about this forest.

When the mistress returned to the group and saw this situation, she was also dumbfounded.

When he was around the group from the Prince's Mansion, the rain wasn't this heavy at all; in fact, it was practically nonexistent. It was just him, Xie Moyao, and Doctor Wu who got caught in the rain. As for the other people from the Prince's Mansion, they didn't get wet at all. So why was there such a big difference when they were in their group?

This wasn't rain at all; it was more like someone was pouring buckets of water down from mid-air!

Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, the eldest prince snapped at him impatiently:

"Hey, you idiot, what are you standing there for? Get the team and find shelter from the rain!"

The mistress hesitated; they were so close, just one step away.

If he leaves now, wouldn't Xie Moyao's efforts be in vain again?

He didn't think that Xie Moyao would obediently let Doctor Wu examine him if he wasn't there to watch over him. Even if he did examine him, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be something fishy going on.

"Your Highness, let's wait a little longer. Doctor Wu is already examining Xie Moyao. We'll have the results shortly, and then we can leave after we know them!"

Just a tiny bit more, just a tiny bit more.

He had barely finished speaking when the rain began to fall so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, and water kept pouring into his ears and mouth.

He could only keep wiping the water off his face with his hands, but as soon as he dried his face, the rain started pouring down again, until he couldn't even open his eyes.

Although the sun was shining today, it was still very cold. After being soaked for so long, he felt numb all over. But when he thought about how he was about to make a contribution, Xiao San felt that it was all worth it.

But the eldest prince is different.

Having gone through everything before, nothing is more important than his own life now.

The rain today is clearly abnormal. My intuition tells me that I need to leave here as soon as possible. As for Xie Moyao, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

The group from the Prince's mansion were all exiled prisoners who dared not run away, so he would have plenty of opportunities sooner or later.

"Idiot, can't you see something's wrong today? Didn't you notice that this rain is only getting on us? Everyone else's place is dry. Wherever we go, this rain gets on us, it's like we've been haunted!"

At a time like this, you're still thinking about treating Xie Moyao? Is your brain filled with shit?!

"What an idiot! I should have left Xiao Wu with the group. You went out on an errand! Hurry up, I order you to find shelter from the rain. If this continues, my carriage will fall apart. Are you going to carry me for the rest of the way?!"

As the rain intensified, he felt his carriage sinking deeper and deeper into the mud. The guards were doing their best to push the carriage out of the mud, but it couldn't withstand any more turmoil. If this continued, the carriage would surely fall apart, and this would be his only place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Now, no matter what happens, he can't let it interfere with protecting himself. This mistress's brain is like a block of wood; I don't know what she's thinking all day long!

Xiao Wu is more reliable. Although he is sometimes a bit slow to react, he always puts his own safety first. It seems that next time there is a mission, he should send Xiao San out and leave Xiao Wu in the team. At least his own safety will be more guaranteed.

The mistress gritted her teeth, abruptly wiped the water off her face, and looked resentful.

After a long pause, he finally shouted an order at the guards:

"Someone! Send out a dozen or so men to scout the area and see if there's anywhere to take shelter from the rain. If there is, report back immediately. The rest of you, escort the Crown Prince forward! Try to avoid areas where the rain is pouring down."

Not far away, Ji Yunshu watched all this quietly, manipulating the water in the space with her mind to flow out as rain.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more water she spilled, even forming a small river under the First Prince's carriage.

On the contrary, it was only drizzling around the other villagers and the people of the royal palace, which only slightly wet their hair and outer clothes, forming a stark contrast to the torrential rain that soaked the eldest prince and his entourage.

Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing how things could have turned out this way.

The eldest prince sensed something was wrong, but now was clearly not the time to investigate. He had a feeling that the rain was coming for him.

The best course of action now is to find shelter from the rain and prioritize your own safety.

Apart from Chu Jinsheng, everyone else in the Prince's Mansion was dumbfounded and frightened by this sudden scene.

Li hugged the little dumpling tightly in her arms, swallowed hard, and her voice was full of shock:

"Oh my god, how could this happen? What's going on? Third brother, what should we do? Is the rain going to fall on us? Should we find shelter quickly?"

Madam Chen nodded repeatedly, quickly turned around to pack their own things, got up and pushed Xie Moyao to walk forward, urging Madam Li and the old princess to hurry up:

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, this situation seems very strange. You and Mother should hurry and follow us. Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain ahead, otherwise, if this rain starts falling here, we might not be able to get out of here!"

This isn't just raining; it's more like the sky is leaking.

It's one thing for the adults, but there are also little ones in the group. They're so small, if they get soaked in this heavy rain, they might get sick.

Now that my third brother and sister-in-law are not in the team, and they are sick, no one cares whether they live or die!

That Dr. Wu, on the surface, said he came to help them improve their health, but secretly he wished the whole family would die!

Mrs. Chen was extremely anxious.

Seeing this, the other villagers also packed their belongings and hurried forward to find shelter from the rain, but they all tacitly kept a distance from the prince and his entourage.

There was nothing they could do; it was pouring rain all around the Crown Prince and his entourage, and wherever they went, the rain soaked them, as if it had eyes and was watching them intently.

Seeing this, many people felt quite relieved. After all, this eldest prince only cared about himself and didn't care about the lives of others. Now it can be said that God has opened his eyes and taught him a lesson.

In no time, everyone hurriedly carried their luggage and bundles and hurried on their way.
