Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.
Chapter 49 He really is a ruthless person.
She had been somewhat prepared for this day to come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
She looked up and sized Xie Moyao up and down. This guy was completely naked; where could he possibly hide anything?
"What is it? Where did you hide it? I've never seen it before. When I treated your wounds, I basically stripped you naked, but I didn't find anything important."
Upon hearing this, Xie Moyao's face showed a slight hint of distress. "I heard my father mention it before, that it was a treasure map, and that it was on me. But all these years, I've never even discovered it myself. I don't know how the emperor found out about it. Given the emperor's suspicious nature, he probably wants to take this opportunity to wipe out the Prince's Mansion and find out what's on me."
The emperor could not find any clues in the prince's residence; in the end, all eyes would be on him, and everyone in the prince's residence would still be doomed.
A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Yunshu's eyes.
She remembered that in the original story, after the deaths of everyone in the royal family, nothing major happened to the royal family of Dongling Kingdom. If the emperor had found the treasure map, the author would definitely have written about it. Since it wasn't written about, was this story true or false?
Judging from Xie Moyao's words, the old prince had mentioned this matter to him before, so it must be true.
day.
That was a treasure map! How much money must it have contained to make the emperor decide to confiscate the entire Prince's mansion?
If it's not visible to the naked eye, do we have to use a machine, like a CT scan?
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Moyao asked.
Ji Yunshu snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and finished bandaging Xie Moyao's last remaining wound.
"It's nothing, it's just that hearing you say that makes me think we need to make more plans in the future, and we can't let the emperor mold us like this."
She paused for a moment, then casually asked, "By the way, how much gold and silver is in the emperor's treasury?"
Xie Moyao was taken aback, somewhat confused, wondering why Ji Yunshu was asking about this. He nodded.
"Of course, the current emperor is a bit stingy. He hoards all the treasures he has and puts them into the national treasury. Sometimes when the people suffer from disasters, he is reluctant to use them for disaster relief. I don't know how many good things are hidden in the national treasury. Although I have never been inside, just counting the gold and silver treasures we have won in the past few years, they are countless."
Ji Yunshu was shocked to hear this. She pursed her lips and thought, "This dog emperor is so rich, why is he still eyeing the treasure map on Xie Moyao's body?"
It's true, no one ever complains about having too much money.
"That dog emperor is such a spendthrift. He squandered almost all the gold and silver treasures in the national treasury."
The old saying goes that a spendthrift son is a spendthrift son, but he's become a spendthrift father.
Ji Yunshu's voice was a little soft, and Xie Moyao couldn't hear what she was saying. But thinking of all that had happened over the years, he felt a little indignant and angry. If he had known that the emperor was so incompetent and tyrannical, he would never have let his father and brothers lose their lives to serve such a person!
The two remained silent for a moment. Ji Yunshu found a place to sit down and used her consciousness to enter the space to check the supplies that had been unlocked earlier.
Seeing that some vehicles were starting to turn colorful, she almost jumped for joy. She was just one step away from unlocking her vehicle!
The spiritual spring water at the entrance of the small pharmacy was now fully unlocked. She withdrew her consciousness from the space, took two water bags from the side, turned her back to Xie Moyao, emptied the water bags, and replaced them with spiritual spring water from the space.
The spring water is sweet and refreshing, and its aroma alone makes it different from ordinary water.
She has been drinking spiritual spring water frequently lately, and she feels that her body is much stronger than before.
She handed Xie Moyao the water pouch filled with the spiritual spring water, telling him to keep it by his side and drink some every day. She also lied and said that there was a special antidote she had made in the water. Xie Moyao did not suspect anything and obediently took the water, immediately taking a big gulp.
The moment the spiritual spring water entered his throat, a look of amazement flashed in Xie Moyao's eyes.
This water was different from anything he had drunk before; it was refreshing, sweet, and delicious. After taking a sip, he felt much more energetic.
Watching his actions, Ji Yunshu nodded, quite satisfied. Although she didn't yet know the specific effects of the spiritual spring water, drinking it like this should be the right thing to do.
Besides Xie Moyao, Ji Yunshu also had Xie Lin take the spiritual spring water from another water bag to Li Shi.
With Xie Lin and Xie Mu guarding outside the carriage, Ji Yunshu wasn't worried. She took off her outer garment, climbed inside, and lay down to rest.
Today must have been exhausting for her.
Fortunately, the outcome was good; none of the people in the royal palace were seriously injured. As for those who were missing limbs, it was none of her business, and she couldn't be bothered to care.
He soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the officers began urging the group to set off, having experienced a thrilling ordeal in the forest the previous night.
Of the group, apart from Ji Yunshu, none of the others slept well.
The officials and the others just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Since the road ahead was blocked, they had no choice but to turn back and take the old route they had taken before.
Although there were refugees eyeing the main road, it was still better than being attacked by wild animals in the deep mountains and forests.
After the group had packed up, they set off, swaying unsteadily.
The officials had eaten and drunk their fill the night before, and since their carriages were undamaged, they traveled quite quickly. But the others were not so lucky.
Apart from the people from the Prince's residence, everyone else was injured to varying degrees.
The carriage of the Minister's residence was also broken, and the horse had gone off somewhere.
Two people from the Zhou family died, and there were some empty seats in the carriages. In order not to slow down the procession, the officials had the officials from the Ministry of Rites squeeze into the Zhou family's carriages.
Although Ji Yunyao was somewhat unwilling, she dared not disobey the official's orders, and in the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into the Zhou family's carriage.
When Ji Yunshu woke up and heard the news, she almost laughed herself to death. Everyone had witnessed what happened last night.
I wonder if Ji Yunyao and Zhou Yanran are fighting now that they're crammed into the carriage?
Two women fighting would definitely be exciting; she'd love to go and watch.
Xie Moyao was both amused and exasperated by her gloating expression.
Ji Yunshu lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the Zhou family's carriage behind her, hoping to see what was happening inside. The journey had been quite boring, so it would be nice to see something amusing to pass the time.
However, the curtains of the Zhou family's carriage were tightly closed, and from her position, there was no movement inside the carriage at all; it was extremely quiet.
A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Yunshu's eyes. Something was not right. Shouldn't these two be fighting?
Have they already reached a peaceful coexistence?
She's really tough; she can endure all this.
As she expected, the Zhou family's carriage was indeed very quiet at the moment. Since they started their journey in the morning, the people in the carriage had been sitting quietly without saying a word, and the atmosphere was strangely eerie.
