Zhong Changyao smiled gently: "You can leave it to me next time. Ming Zhenru is your personal guard and cannot leave your side at will."
Xie Shizhu stuffed a bun into his mouth and said incoherently, "Well, I understand. You don't have to worry about me in the future. After all, I'm not a child anymore."
Zhong Changyao's face darkened. Did Xie Shizhu mean that he should stop caring about her?
But who said that once he gets the throne, everything will be done according to his orders?
Zhong Changyao bowed, "I understand."
After saying this, he glanced at Ming Zhenru and turned away.
Ming Zhenru had no appetite anymore, and her eyes were filled with shock.
How did Xie Shizhu know all this and help her out of danger?
Ming Zhenru really wanted to ask for clarification, but Xie Shizhu just reminded her to eat more and did not mention the matter again.
It was even more impossible for her to ask everything in person, because if Xie Shizhu knew that she was someone close to Zhong Changyao, he would probably kill her.
After breakfast, Xie Shizhu became busy again.
She thought that she could no longer sit and wait for death, and had to solve the treasury problem as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you won’t even be able to eat meat in the future.
Since we want to get rid of poverty, we naturally have to go undercover to find out the causes of poverty.
She took the opportunity to go outside the palace and buy some fun toys for Xie Ji.
With the idea in mind, Xie Shizhu was ready to take action.
She dressed up as an ordinary citizen and met Zhong Changyao at the city gate when she was leaving the palace in a sedan chair.
Zhong Changyao obviously knew that she was going to leave the palace, and had changed into the most ordinary clothes and was waiting here.
Then he stopped the sedan chair and stopped Xie Shizhu.
He said outside the sedan chair: "Your Majesty, since you are leaving the palace, I will go with you to protect you."
Xie Shizhu lifted the curtain and looked at Zhong Changyao.
Then she turned to the guards who were preventing her from leaving.
She frowned slightly and thought, besides Xie Ji's people, there are also Zhong Changyao's people in this palace.
So there is no one like her as the emperor.
She was such a failure as an emperor.
It seemed that if she didn't let Zhong Changyao get on the sedan chair, these people would probably not let him leave the palace.
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips, lowered the curtain, and said in a calm voice, "Get in the sedan."
Zhong Changyao: "Yes."
Suddenly there was another person in the sedan chair. Xie Shizhu sat upright and remained alert at all times.
Zhong Changyao smiled and naturally put his arm around her shoulders, "If you feel tired, just lean on my shoulder."
Xie Shizhu's mind, which was still a little sleepy, was now completely awake.
"No need, I'm not tired."
After saying this, she deliberately distanced herself from Zhong Changyao and leaned against a corner of the sedan chair.
Zhong Changyao felt his hands were empty and frowned.
How come the woman who used to cling to him and wanted to marry him immediately has become so cold?
Xie Shizhu sighed, "I don't know where Xie Ji went. I haven't seen him in a few days."
As before, when she woke up, Xie Ji would stay in her palace.
But today she left the palace and did not see Xie Ji.
It's really worrying.
Hearing her mention Xie Ji's name inexplicably, Zhong Changyao's face changed slightly, and he thought of the only time Xie Shizhu refuted him, which was when he saved Xie Ji's life.
Perhaps, Xie Shizhu did it for family affection.
Zhong Changyao stretched out his long arm and used his fingertips to help her tidy up her hair at the temples. He said, "It's okay. Your Majesty's brother should be in the palace."
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The sedan chair moved smoothly out of the palace.
*
After a night, the sedan finally arrived at the inn.
Xie Shizhu stretched lazily in the sedan chair.
Zhong Changyao came down before her and offered her a hand.
Xie Shizhu glanced at it without taking it and jumped off the sedan chair easily.
Ming Zhenru had already gone to the inn to book a room, leaving the two of them outside.
Xie Shizhu smiled, turned around and looked at Zhong Changyao who was still stiff in the spot, and said with a bright smile: "Go in."
Outside the palace, several people pretended to be ordinary people and no longer acted according to their palace identities.
Zhong Changyao nodded and went into the inn with Xie Shizhu.
Soon, the three of them settled down in the inn. Due to limited money, Xie Shizhu and Ming Zhenru lived in the same room.
In the evening, the three of them headed to a nearby village.
When Xie Shizhu saw the barren fields, he understood why the national treasury was always so tight.
It has rarely rained over the years, so the fields have dried up and the wheat planted there cannot survive.
Xie Shizhu came up with a solution to solve the water shortage problem by bringing water to the fields.
But Yue Kingdom is very big, and it is impossible for her to come up with so much money to solve all the problems.
And the treasury is tight.
Xie Shizhu and the other two returned to the inn with sad faces.
At night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, a quarrel was heard on the first floor of the inn, which prevented Xie Shizhu from falling asleep.
In order to have a good sleep, she quickly put on her coat and ran to the first floor of the inn.
When we went downstairs, we found out that a brother and sister discovered something wrong with the food in the inn while they were dining in.
For example, the wine is mixed with water and the beef is fake.
The two of them started arguing with all the waiters in the inn and almost got into a fight.
This is Xie Shizhu's territory, and she doesn't allow any trouble.
Xie Shizhu quickly walked over and tasted the wine. It was indeed added with water, and the color of the beef seemed wrong.
Adhering to the principle that whoever is right is right, she looked at the vicious waiters in front of her and slowly interrupted the solemn atmosphere.
"When did such a black shop appear in Yue Country?" She was even more arrogant than the brother and sister.
Xie Shizhu said this while looking at the brother and sister next to him.
