Chi Mu sat on a chair nearby and asked Fang Mu to call the adults over.
When the adults heard that it was the prince who summoned them, they all felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
"What should we do? I heard that this prince is extremely cruel. I'm afraid our lives will be in his hands."
"What are you afraid of? This is our territory. How can he take advantage of us? Besides, we have the Crown Prince behind us. He will not fail to save us."
Perhaps they were mentally prepared, so this time when they went to see Chi Mu, they did not feel as guilty as they did last time.
He sat on a chair, his eyes scanning the men kneeling below.
"Are you the local officials who escaped from the surrounding towns?"
"Your Majesty, we are here because we have persuaded some people to leave first..."
"You evacuated the crowd?"
He snorted coldly and looked at the people in front of him, "What I see is that you guys are partying every night, drinking and eating meat every day, and you don't care about the lives of the people outside the city at all!"
"As local officials, how could we not care about the lives of our people? It's those people who are too stubborn. No matter what we say, they refuse to follow us."
"No matter what you said, they refused. But I just said, follow me and you will have food and water, so they followed me? It seems that you gentlemen cannot let your people surrender."
Chi Mu's question instantly made everyone in the room afraid to say a word.
Shen Yuerong walked in from outside in a hurry, without paying any attention to the people kneeling. Instead, she put the token he had just given her on the table and took a sip from the teacup in his hand.
"I have almost made arrangements for the people who came with us, but there are indeed few places to live in the city. After we separate, some people still have nowhere to live. I asked people to help clean up the wasteland in the south, and then build a temporary residence so that we can live..."
She was halfway through her speech when she noticed something was wrong in the air. She turned around and saw several adults kneeling on the ground.
"Are you busy?"
He nodded and took back the cup without hesitation. "You've been traveling a long way, it's hard enough. Now that these things have been arranged, you should go back and rest early. If anything goes wrong, there will naturally be others to keep an eye on it."
Shen Yuerong shook her head.
"I'm worried about them. I have to go check on them later. I'll lie here for a while."
After tossing and turning for a few days, Shen Yuerong did feel sore all over, and she walked towards his inner room while talking.
The man did not care about these things, but continued to look at the ministers who came before him.
"I think you all know the truth of the matter. I don't want to bother about it, but what you did was indeed a bit too absurd, and it also affected the people's trust in the king. From this moment on, if you can make up for your crime with meritorious service, but I still want to do evil, I will never allow it."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Before the prince's men arrived, they naturally did not dare to confront Chi Mu head-on.
"I will know what to do, so just wait."
"yes."
He looked at Shen Yuerong who had fallen asleep not long ago, and instead of disturbing her, he turned around and left.
At the door, I happened to meet Fu Hengyu, who was timid and didn't know what to do.
"What's up?"
Fu Hengyu nodded, "Let me ask if there is anything I can help with?"
Chi Mu then realized that he had almost habitually ignored the people in front of him. In this huge army, he was the only one who was fine.
"You are not a child. If you really want to help, then help those people settle down."
He was too lazy to give him instructions, and then followed Fang Mu away.
Fu Hengyu looked at his back viciously, determined to make him die here sooner or later.
But at this moment he could only pretend to be a cowardly waste and help the people pack their luggage according to his own wishes.
When Shen Yuerong woke up, it was already dark outside. She had been very tired from traveling so much in the past few days that she had lost track of time.
"Blue and white, peach blossom."
As soon as she opened her mouth, two women came in from outside. Seeing that she woke up, they started to get busy.
"The prince took those adults to the river near the city. They were thinking about how to prevent it. After all, there are many people living here now, so they didn't have time to return. The prince said that if you wake up, you can eat first and don't have to wait for him."
Shen Yuerong rubbed her somewhat empty stomach and said, "Okay."
After dinner, Shen Yuerong. So I sat in the yard and looked at the bright blue sky.
I have witnessed too many things along the way, and some things are no longer the same as before.
She sighed, wondering when the current difficulties could be completely resolved.
"Miss!"
Shen Yuerong was stunned and only heard Qinghua calling her. She thought he was urging her to come back early, but she didn't expect that he brought bad news.
"Miss, please go and see the prince, the prince..."
When Shen Yuerong heard that he was in trouble, she rushed over. Several adults who had gone out with him were still there, and they all had apologetic expressions on their faces.
"This minister is telling the truth. I didn't expect that place to be dangerous, otherwise I would never have brought the prince there."
Shen Yuerong was now in a state of confusion and had no time to listen to their explanations. "Have you called a doctor?"
Fang Mu shook his head. "Nowadays, all the large paintings in this town have gone to who knows where, so I asked Qinghua to call you."
"Qinghua, go get me the medicine box, remember to be quick."
Shen Yuerong dragged off the clothes that were a bit troublesome outside, and then walked into the house.
He was lying on the bed with a pale face, but his clothes were covered in blood. What was going on?
Shen Yuerong had many questions that she wanted to ask the person in front of her, but in the end she didn't say them out loud.
She slowly and absorbedly undressed the man, only to see scars on his body that were left at some unknown time.
"Is this all you've experienced in these three years?"
As far as he could remember, he was once the prince most valued by His Majesty, a prince second only to the emperor.
If he had not had anything in mind, he would not have gone to war.
"Chi Mu, what on earth have you been through?"
Shen Yuerong couldn't move him, so she could only call Fang Mu in, "Help me take off his clothes."
"Take it all off?"
Shen Yuerong nodded. "There is too much blood on his body. I can't tell exactly where the wound is. I can only recheck him from head to toe. Please cooperate with me."
Fang Mu nodded, and with equal strength, he quickly stripped the man's clothes, revealing a naked body before his eyes.
