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

The second prince, a mere prince, has more guards and a grander entourage than the eldest prince. How can the eldest prince put his face?

Xiao Wu didn't say anything more and turned around to relay the First Prince's instructions.

Chu Jinsheng also got into the carriage and asked a few people to clean it. He also changed into clean clothes.

It had rained heavily earlier, and all the guards' clothes were soaked. They had no change of clothes. Fortunately, his clothes were in the carriage. Although the carriage was also washed by the rain, the clothes were in a bundle and didn't get too dirty.

However, his bundle was also a bit wet from the rain, and his clothes had some wet stains, so he didn't look as imposing as he should have.

But it's still better than those dirty clothes.

After a cup of tea.

As expected, Chu Jingrui arrived with his entourage in a grand procession.

His confident and triumphant appearance as he sat on horseback made Chu Jinsheng, who was sitting in the carriage with his clothes all wrinkled, grit his teeth in hatred.

Chu Jingrui had already received news that Chu Jinsheng and his group were ahead, and had also roughly found out their current situation and what had happened.

Once inside the group, he went first to the carriage, looked at it with a mocking expression, and shouted loudly into the carriage:

"Eldest brother, I heard your journey hasn't been smooth. Would you like to tell your second brother what happened?"

His tone was full of schadenfreude. Chu Jinsheng was so angry in the carriage that he gritted his teeth. If he weren't in such a bad mood, he would have rushed out and taught Chu Jingrui a lesson.

His good second brother, relying on his father's favor, would often make sarcastic and mean-spirited jokes at him.

"No need, this is none of your business. You should worry more about yourself. Second brother, why aren't you staying at your post? What are you doing here?"

"Hahaha, eldest brother, why are you so angry? I would like to stay at the border, but Father insisted on sending me here on business. What can I do?"

"It's all because you, eldest brother, are too useless. You can't even handle the tasks Father assigned you. Otherwise, why would Father have summoned me all this way here!"

"Chu Jingrui, don't go too far!"

"Hehehe, eldest brother, don't be angry. I didn't come here to steal your credit. Since Father summoned me, let's each rely on our abilities and see who finishes their task first!"

Chu Jingrui didn't think much of his older brother.

The emperor only favors himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned him from the border to handle this matter.

He naturally had more information than his older brother, and he believed that he would be able to finish things before his brother.

If he succeeds in this matter, he will gain more power, and the throne will be his for the taking.

The two argued fiercely, exchanging words back and forth, while the others stood around, heads bowed.

This was the situation every time the two princes met; the servants dared not utter a sound.

Chu Jinsheng remained silent, sitting in the carriage with his fists clenched tightly and his teeth grinding together, secretly vowing that he would never give Chu Jingrui any opportunity to take advantage of him.

Unable to get a reply from Chu Jinsheng, Chu Jingrui felt bored and turned around to slowly continue his journey with his men.

In the space.

Ji Yunshu was happily planting vegetable seedlings in the field, completely unaware of what was happening outside the space.

The vegetable seedlings in the field are growing very well, lush and green, which makes people very happy.

I heard that the environment in the Northwest where they were exiled is terrible. I wonder if they will be able to grow any crops, grains, fruits and vegetables there.

If the climate is pleasant, you can grow vegetables and fruits, raise a herd of cattle and sheep, or do some small business to build up your own influence. With the emperor far away, life couldn't be more carefree.

When she finished tending to the seedlings in the field and returned to the ward, Xie Mohuan and the other three were still catching up. When they saw her come in, they stopped talking.

"Come on, didn't you four want to wander around here? I happen to have some free time right now, I'll take you around."

Xiao Lan and Xie Lin will be leaving the space tomorrow morning. I don't know when they will come back in again. It will probably be when they arrive in the Northwest.

The four of them had a lot of questions to ask, but when they heard that Ji Yunshu was going to take them around the place, they became incredibly excited.

Sherlin had some injuries, and Xiaolan had an injury on her foot. But the thought of being able to wander around inside made them forget about their pain and they straightened up, ready to go with them.

Ji Yunshu didn't try to persuade them. Xiao Lan and Xie Lin only had superficial injuries, which weren't serious. There were no hills or slopes in this space, just flat paths. They could even take an elevator, so walking around wouldn't be a problem.

The group slowly left the ward, and as soon as they stepped out, Xie Lin and Xiao Lan were dumbfounded.

They have stayed in the ward since they came in and haven't come out yet.

Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu walked all the way from the small villa to the ward. They had seen the scenery along the way, but seeing the house that was completely lit up again still seemed incredible to them.

Ji Yunshu led them to the supermarket on the first floor, where all kinds of food, household items, and drinks were available in abundance.

Ji Yunshu gave them a general explanation of what was placed in each area, and told them to take whatever they wanted to eat or wear.

He also took Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu to the clothing section and picked out a tracksuit for each of them.

Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu don't need to leave the space for the time being; they can wear sportswear inside.

Sherlin and Xiaolan can't; they need to leave the space early tomorrow morning, so it's safer for them to wear ordinary clothes outside.

Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu couldn't wait to change into the sportswear that Ji Yunshu had chosen for them in the fitting room. When they came out of the fitting room, they looked completely different, appearing clean and neat.

Their sportswear was similar to Ji Yunshu's, and with a pair of sneakers, they looked very sunny, a stark contrast to their usual style, which made Xie Lin and Xiao Lan extremely envious.

Seeing that the two of them were staring at Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, when we get to the Northwest, you can wear as many of these clothes as you want, and wear them however you want."

Xiaolan and Xielin nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Ji Yunshu took them to the snack section and the vegetable section.

Because vegetables were grown in the field, Ji Yunshu only gave Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu a general explanation of the vegetable section.

Xie Mohuan and Xie Mu were surprised to find that all the strange vegetables they had eaten on the road were now in this space.

They all thought at the time that Ji Yunshu had found those vegetables in the woods, but now they realize that they were all taken out of this space.
