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

Oh my.

It has a cool, refreshing feel and is as soft as a marshmallow.

No wonder everyone likes handsome men, who can resist them!

Xie Moyao was momentarily stunned, then leaned back abruptly, creating some distance between himself and Ji Yunshu.

"What are you doing?!"

Why does this woman always launch surprise attacks? And the worst part is, she doesn't care about the time, place, or occasion!

Luckily, everyone in the carriage was unconscious when she suddenly pulled this move. If they were all awake, they would have been in real trouble!

If she wanted it, she should have said so earlier!

Although I am partially paralyzed, there are still some things I should be able to do.

"Hey, next time don't do it in front of so many people. If you want to do something, just tell me, and we'll find a quiet place."

As a husband, he felt his wife had set a good example for him, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

puff!

Ji Yunshu almost choked on her own saliva.

She knew that such a sudden action would definitely have aftereffects, but she didn't expect Xie Moyao to be so serious, even telling her to choose a quieter place next time.

Oh my!

This guy must be imagining her as the kind of woman who's indiscriminate in her desires, like a wolf or a tiger.

This is truly indefensible; even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn't clear my name. This damned, broken system, what kind of nonsense is this?

If she keeps acting like this, her pure and detached heart will lose control.

"No, don't overthink it. I... I just suddenly felt a little hot, and seeing that your place was so cool, I just wanted to taste what it was like. That's all. I didn't mean anything by it."

Nonsence.

After explaining all that, she almost slapped herself.

Her face felt hot, and she didn't even know what she had said.

That foul mouth of yours, if you can't explain, then keep it to yourself!

These words made things even stranger. She didn't dare to meet Xie Moyao's gaze, only knowing that Xie Moyao was looking at her like she was an idiot.

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The carriage suddenly jolted several times, and Xie Moyao and Ji Yunshu grabbed the railing inside the carriage to barely keep their balance.

But the others weren't so lucky. They lay sprawled out, their heads and bodies constantly hitting the carriage walls as it swayed.

The bandits outside the carriage paid no attention to any of this. The carriage moved faster and shook more violently, with everyone's bodies and heads constantly bumping against the carriage walls.

Ji Yunshu quickly got up and neatly arranged all the heads of the people in the Prince's Mansion together, separating them with several towels. Thick quilts were also placed on the sides of the carriage.

The others had several bumps on their heads, about the size of eggs, and Ji Yunshu felt pain just looking at them.

Whether it was because the effects of the sleeping pills wore off or because everyone was too exhausted from the impact, some people gradually began to wake up.

Ling Yun was the first to wake up.

He slept in another inner room, and the drug he was underwent was slightly less potent than that on the others in the main room.

Ling Yun shook his head, trying to reach out and touch the painful spot on his head, but he couldn't move his hands or feet because they were tied up with ropes.

The figures overlapped before his eyes, gradually becoming clearer. He immediately spotted Ji Yunshu sitting not far away and Xie Moyao half-lying in front of her.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's going on? Where are we now?"

Xie Moyao didn't bother to speak to Ling Yun, but Ji Yunshu was quite patient.

"Can't you tell? We've been drugged and are tied up right now. The ones who did it are the two brothers who were in the house last night."

We woke up a little earlier than you and overheard them talking for a while. They must be bandits from the neighborhood, and they're dragging us towards their hideout.

"What?"

A bandit's den!

"No, didn't they say last night that they were Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's eldest and second sons? How could they be involved with bandits! Besides, I'm working for the imperial court, and they actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

Do they not know who we are? I need to have a good talk with them. Even bandits should be wary of going against the imperial court.

It's like being stabbed in the butt with a knife; it opened my third eye.

It's unheard of for a government official like him to be kidnapped by bandits!

He struggled to his feet, trying to move to the carriage entrance and speak to the people outside.

However, the effects of the drug on him had not completely worn off, and he was not very strong. He moved for a long time but was still in the same place. There were other people under his buttocks, and every time he moved, he directly crushed the faces of the other people under his buttocks.

"Don't waste your energy. The drug on you hasn't worn off yet, and you can't move much even if you use all your strength. Besides, you've already told them, so why do you think they don't know you're an official?"

You're wearing official robes, and they're not blind. Since they know you're an official, they still attacked you. You're using the imperial court to intimidate them; do you think they'll be afraid?

Ling Yun, with a mournful face, tried a few more times, but as before, the ropes binding his hands and feet wouldn't budge. Instead, he was exhausted from struggling.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we just go with them to the bandits' den? I've heard about these bandits before; I've heard they're incredibly ruthless and capable of anything. They used to only do arson, murder, and looting, but I never expected they'd even kidnap us this time. What are they going to do with us?"

Ji Yunshu shook her head, not revealing her own guesses.

They are tied up now, and apart from herself, the others have no ability to save themselves or fight back. Speaking out would only cause panic among everyone and would not help them at all.

"Waaaaah..."

"Get out of the way!"

"Who's pressing on my nose and mouth? I can't breathe! Get out of the way! Ugh...!"

Ah Cai, who was under Ling Yun, kept shaking his head. His hands and feet were tied up, and his head was also unable to move because Ling Yun's buttocks were pressing down on it. His nose and mouth were also pressed down, and there was very little air coming out of his nose.

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Yun to move aside, he opened his mouth and bit down on Ling Yun's buttocks.

"what!"

Ling Yun cried out in pain and quickly rolled to the side.

Is this person born in the Year of the Dog? They actually opened their mouth and bit him!

Does it have rabies?

Ji Yunshu watched this scene, her lips twitching involuntarily. She peered out through the gaps in the carriage without making a sound, and only withdrew her gaze when she was sure there were no bandits around their carriage.

"Are you a dog? Why are you biting people!" Ling Yun glared at A Cai hatefully.

Ah Cai glanced at his bound arms and legs, not having time to ask what happened, and glared back at Ling Yun.

"You're the one who's like a dog! Who told you to sit on my face? You almost suffocated me! Who else would I bite if not you!"

"Ah, ah!" Ah Cai had barely finished speaking when his own body stiffened.

"Who bit my butt? Let go of me right now, it hurts like hell!"

A piercing pain shot through both of his buttocks. Helpless, with his hands and feet bound and little strength in his body, he couldn't kick the person under his buttocks. He could only try to move his body and roll to the side.

As soon as he rolled away, Ji Yunyao and Zhou Yanran's faces were revealed at the same time. Just like before, neither of them had time to speak and they were desperately breathing in fresh air.

After a long while, the two of them, whose faces had turned purple from holding their breath, finally calmed down a little.

"You two bitches, why are you biting my ass!"

Ji Yunyao and Zhou Yanran both had traces of blood on their lips; the two of them had really bitten hard, drawing blood from Acai's buttocks.
