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

The young woman kept looking up at the cliff face, pointed upwards, and said earnestly,

"It seems like people are up there. When I was standing here just now, some rocks fell down from above. The noise was like someone was tumbling around in mid-air and knocking rocks down from the cliff!"

"Pass on my order: have all your men gather here and check the situation in mid-air. See if anyone is hanging precariously off the cliff."

As soon as the mistress finished speaking, the men under the Second Prince clearly did not believe her.

"Tch, forget it. Are you blind? There were obvious footprints at the entrance of that cave we just went to. How could someone be hanging in mid-air on a cliff? They must be somewhere around here!"

The mistress glanced at him and said, "Hmph, whatever, believe me if you want. I didn't send your people to investigate!"

You only know there are bloodstains and footprints there, but are you sure the bloodstains and footprints belong to that person? What if they belong to someone else?

There's no trace of that person around here. Where else can you look?

"If you don't want to go up, fine, but the people I brought are definitely going to check. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to the Crown Prince, hmph!"

After the mistress finished speaking, she snorted coldly, turned around, and waved to the people behind her.

"A few of the people who came with me, come over here; let's try to get up to the top of the cliff and take a look!"

As soon as the mistress finished speaking, several guards came from all directions and slowly walked towards the pool.

On the treetops.

Ji Yunshu watched this scene from afar, while maneuvering the drone to slowly ascend into the air. Through the monitoring screen on the drone, she slowly examined the surrounding environment.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she left with Xie Moyao quickly, otherwise, they would have been discovered.

She piloted the drone, using the dense bushes to hoist Xie Moyao along, and flew into the distance.

While operating the drone, she used her mind to repeatedly travel back and forth between the inside and outside of space, appearing on different treetops each time.

By the end, she had already gone several kilometers away.

Xie Moyao was directly above her. Ji Yunshu jumped down from the treetop, slowly piloting the drone as it descended from the sky.

Xie Moyao also descended slowly from the air along with the drone, finally stopping in front of Ji Yunshu.

After confirming that Xie Moyao had landed safely, Ji Yunshu put the drone into her spatial storage, along with the drone's control handle.

Xie Moyao looked at Ji Yunshu and smiled.

What are you doing here?

Seeing his smiling face, Ji Yunshu felt a sudden tightness in her chest. How could this guy still smile?!

If she hadn't shown up here, he might have been discovered by the mistress's group!

And it was halfway up a cliff!

At such a high place, if the mistress and her gang wanted to deal with him, wouldn't it be an easy task?

Xie Moyao was still quite far from the bottom of the cliff at that time; he couldn't possibly fly down, could he?

Moreover, with so many people below, even if they were to fly down, they would be no match for so many opponents and would easily get injured.

Thinking of this, she said irritably,

"You have the nerve to ask me why I'm here? I'm asking you, what did you tell me when you left home?!"

You said you'd take care of yourself, but is that all you care about? When I saw you, you were hanging in mid-air off a cliff!

You're holding a vine in your hand. What will you do if that vine breaks?

Even if you're good at kung fu, you can't just fly off such a high cliff!

The more Ji Yunshu spoke, the angrier she became. She felt a ball of fire burning inside her chest, which she couldn't vent or let go of!

It was clear that Ji Yunshu was genuinely angry, and Xie Moyao apologized repeatedly.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, it was just an emergency."

I carefully checked the condition of the vines to make sure they could support my weight before I came down from the cliff.

Moreover, worried that the cliff was too high, I also tied a lot of vines together to make sure I wouldn't have any accidents.

Don't be angry. I won't do it again next time. This time, the situation was really urgent, and I didn't have time to think it through.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xie Moyao spoke softer and softer.

Seeing his expression, Ji Yunshu's anger dissipated considerably.

Xie Moyao isn't a brainless person; perhaps, as he said, the situation was too urgent, leaving no other choice but to take this path.

"What could possibly have made you jump off such a high cliff?"

Also, I noticed something's wrong with you. Has something happened? And why are the First Prince and Second Prince's men here?

Xie Moyao's nose tingled, his eyes reddened, and his voice became hoarse.

"Today, I discovered Wang Zheng's whereabouts."

Ji Yunshu was taken aback, a surge of excitement welling up inside her. "What? So fast? Where is he?"

Xie Moyao choked up a little, his tone helpless, "But I was a step too late. When I got to his place, I happened to run into him going out. Before I could even speak to him, I was caught up by the First Prince and the Second Prince's men."

Later we got separated, and he was forced to the edge of a cliff. The eldest prince and the second prince were too many people, and I didn't have time to save him!

He knew that the First Prince and the Second Prince wanted to use him to deal with me, so he didn't give me any time to react before leaping off the cliff!

Worried that Wang Zheng might get stuck on the cliff, I had no choice but to find some vines to tie him up and climb down the cliff.

We came all the way down from there, but we didn't see him anywhere. I even thought that if he hadn't died after falling off the cliff, even if the First Prince and the Second Prince's men were looking for him, you and I would have a way to save him!

However, there was no sign of him on the cliff, and the men who had seen the First Prince and the Second Prince were still searching below, so it seemed they hadn't found him yet...

At this point, Xie Moyao's tone became somewhat urgent.

"Yun Shu, I know you're angry that I risked my life, but now is not the time to talk about this. Can you come back with me to find Wang Zheng?"

As long as I find Wang Zheng, I will definitely apologize to you properly when we get back and promise that I will never risk my life again!

Wang Zheng is my friend of many years, like a brother. This time, he was hunted down by the First Prince and the Second Prince's men again because of me.

His fate is still unknown, and I can't stop worrying about him. I want to go back and find him.

Xie Moyao's voice became somewhat hollow at the end.

He made his way down the cliff, which was covered in sharp rocks and was very high. It took him a long time to get down.

Falling from such a height, Wang Zheng's chances of survival are slim!

Thinking about this, he felt a pang of sadness.

He felt a pang of guilt, wondering why he hadn't gone to that room sooner!

If he could just be a little faster, he and Wang Zheng would be able to meet, and he would be able to take Wang Zheng away sooner.
