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

What she couldn't understand the most were the people from the Minister's Mansion, especially Ji Yunyao. She and Ji Yunshu grew up in the Minister's Mansion, and she knew very well what Ji Yunshu was capable of!

She had never known that Ji Yunshu's martial arts skills were so good, and when did she learn how to marinate this meat?!

The Ji Yunshu in front of her was a completely different person from the Ji Yunshu she remembered!

What exactly happened? Could it be that Ji Yunshu's timid and useless demeanor in the Prince's mansion was all an act?

If that's really the case, then this woman's scheming is truly profound.

At this moment, Ji Yunyao clearly realized that she and Ji Yunshu were no longer on the same level, and that her old methods were no longer effective against the current Ji Yunshu.

It seems that she will have to be more careful with her words and actions in the future. She must not confront Ji Yunshu directly unless she is absolutely certain of success, otherwise she will only suffer the consequences.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. She turned around and saw Zhou Yanran glaring at her fiercely. Beside her were Zhou's father and mother, who were crying uncontrollably.

Remembering how she had pushed Old Madam Zhou and her grandson out to save herself, and how both of them had been killed by wolves, Ji Yunyao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

But after a moment, she calmed herself down, turned around, and glared at Zhou Yanran with a defiant look in her eyes, as if to say:

They're just unlucky; can you blame her?

Who told them to stand in my way back then!

Maybe God arranged for those two people to be her scapegoats!

No matter how unwilling Zhou Yanran was, what could she do? She was the Crown Prince's woman!

A sharp pain shot through the back of her hand. Ji Yunyao looked down and realized it was the wound that Ji Yunshu had cut with a knife earlier. Ji Yunshu had been extremely ruthless; her wound was so deep that bone was visible, and flesh had been torn away.

The area around the wound was also scratched by wolves, and was a little red and itchy.

She looked up at Zhou Yanran's hand, which was also cut by Ji Yunshu and was bleeding. But Zhou Yanran seemed not to feel the pain and kept staring at her.

Ji Yunyao glanced at her sideways, pretending not to see Zhou Yanran's gaze, and hastily tore off some of her clothes to bandage the wound.

Her hands are so fair and delicate, like precious jade. If they get scars, they'll look terrible. The Crown Prince is such a picky person, wouldn't he be disgusted by the scars on her hands?

Ji Yunshu was unaware of the contest between the two. At that moment, she was skewering pieces of wolf meat onto tree branches and roasting them over the fire.

With their large numbers and speed, the meat skewered on the tree branches was sizzling and dripping with oil, filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

When no one was paying attention, Ji Yunshu took out a large bag of barbecue seasoning powder from her sleeve. They had salt on them, but for barbecue, salt alone wasn't enough to make it taste good. They had to add this barbecue seasoning powder to make it taste even better.

She grabbed a handful of barbecue seasoning powder and sprinkled it on the meat, which was already fragrant from grilling, and now it smelled even better.

Ji Yunshu picked up a few skewers of roasted meat and a few pieces of prepared wolf meat, and headed towards the officials and their entourage.

The officials had been waiting impatiently, and before Ji Yunshu could even get close, they stood up and took the things from her hands.

"Your Highness, you are truly amazing! We are all ashamed of our own abilities!" They really benefited from today's event. If Ji Yunshu hadn't been there, they would probably have lost a lot of manpower.

Ji Yunshu twitched the corners of her lips, said nothing more, handed them the wolf meat, and turned to go back.

After returning, she went to Xie Lin and the others, ostensibly to help prepare food, but in reality, she took some ribs from the fresh food section of her space and stewed a pot of soup.

The water used for stewing the soup was also drawn from the spiritual spring water in the space.

They sent some of the stewed pork rib soup to Li Shi and Xie Moyao, and drank the rest themselves.

The night was rather dark, and as everyone drank the soup in their bowls, they could only vaguely see some meat, but couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.

Ji Yunshu herself doesn't really like eating wolf meat, and she plans to exchange all the wolf meat she collected for silver when she gets to the city.

After everyone in the Prince's mansion had eaten and drunk their fill, they all changed into clean clothes and found a comfortable place to rest.

This meal was the most satisfying they had eaten since being exiled. Although the ingredients were somewhat limited, they were quite content.

All of these wolves were killed by Ji Yunshu. Apart from the people of the Prince's Mansion and the officials, no one else got a piece of meat and could only watch them eat.

Remembering how Ji Yunshu had torn a wolf in half with her bare hands, no one else dared to approach her and ask for meat.

As the night deepened, and after the previous wolf attack, no one was sleepy in the latter half of the night, and they patrolled the surrounding area from time to time.

Since learning that Xie Mu was following her in the shadows, Ji Yunshu was no longer as tense as before. After entrusting the other matters to Xie Lin and Xiao Lan and giving them a few instructions, she returned to the carriage.

Xie Moyao was still awake. Thinking about what had happened before, his expression was still a little unnatural. He moved his body slightly, pulling at the wound on his back, which hurt a little.

Ji Yunshu was tidying up the things in the carriage when she looked up and saw his awkward expression. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to apply medicine to Xie Moyao's back wound.

She turned her back, took out some gauze and disinfectant from her spatial storage, and came to Xie Moyao, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Take off your clothes."

Xie Moyao pursed his lips, lowered his head, and slowly reached out to unbutton his clothes. He didn't have much strength to begin with, so his movements were extremely slow.

Ji Yunshu sat to the side and saw this scene. Her face twitched. By the time this guy took off his clothes, it would probably be dawn!

Thinking this, she reached out to Xie Moyao's clothes, unbuttoned them, and quickly stripped his shirt off cleanly, then began to apply medicine to his back.

At the same time, the mechanical voice in her head kept ringing.

New supplies have been unlocked, please check them promptly.

Ji Yunshu's lips unconsciously curved slightly, and her rough movements became gentler. She wondered what had been unlocked in the space this time.

Last time she kissed Xie Moyao, she unlocked a medical building for him. If she did something a little more, would she unlock the armory?

She felt increasingly threatened along the way, and she desperately needed to unlock the arsenal!

But seeing Xie Moyao's weak appearance, Ji Yunshu gave up the idea and shook her head.

Let's wait a little longer.

Xie Moyao's health is already poor. If he were to suffer any further damage, it would be a real loss.

"Well, starting today, I will slowly prepare the antidote to help you get rid of the toxins in your body. Once the toxins are gone, we can slowly treat your leg."

Her voice was gentle, which reassured Xie Moyao. Thinking about what had happened that evening, Xie Moyao felt a pang of guilt. He took a deep breath, his expression serious.

"Ji Yunshu, I'm really sorry for not explaining things clearly before, but today when I saw you risking your life to protect everyone in our Wangfu, I suddenly realized that I was wrong before."

Ji Yunshu paused, rolled her eyes at Xie Moyao, and unconsciously pressed her hand, which was wiping her wound, slightly harder. "It's good that you know you were wrong! But the fact that the Prince's Mansion has fallen to this state, and that so-called 'evidence' was able to enter the manor, is partly my fault. Let's call it even. Let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, let's help each other and make sure we reach our place of exile safely."

Xie Moyao gave a bitter laugh, his voice becoming somewhat low and hoarse, making the listener feel a little depressed.

"Hehe, that's probably not very likely. To be honest, the confiscation of the Prince's mansion has little to do with you. It's because I have some things in my hands that made that person in the palace wary, which is why the Prince's mansion suffered this misfortune."
