After the housekeeper led Wang Ma and Cui Ping to explain their purpose, Liu Yinyin calmly accepted Prince Jing's arrangement. She had no intention of going to Prince Jing to cry and make a scene. She just said in a friendly but indifferent manner as usual: "Then I'll trouble you two on the way."

Wang Ma and Cui Ping were a little surprised and just waved their hands: "Miss, what are you talking about? Since the prince has said so, it is our duty to serve you."

Liu Yinyin: "Please ask the housekeeper to help me tell the prince a message. Yinyin has been ignorant during this period and has caused the prince a lot of trouble. Please forgive me, the prince. Yinyin will take this as a warning in the future."

The housekeeper bowed and left Wang Ma and Cuiping alone.

After hearing the butler's reply, Prince Jing nodded and let the butler go. He glanced at the emerald green mountains in the distance. The wind blew through the leaves, and some leaves even left the branches uncontrollably and fell down. But autumn was still a long way off. This tree lost a leaf but still had many other leaves. If nothing unexpected happened, it could still survive. But what if it only had this one leaf?

That’s not right. If there was only one leaf, then there was something wrong with the tree. Maybe it shouldn’t be alive. Should it die alone?

Just as he was daydreaming, a bunch of fragrant steamed bread slices were held in front of him. The rich aroma of barbecue seasoning instantly brought his mind back to reality. What caught his eye were the golden roasted steamed bread slices, dotted with bright red barbecue seasoning, looking very lively.

Turning around, he looked at Zhu Yu's sickly but still smiling face. The wind blew up a strand of her hair, swaying it on her slightly pale face, as if shaking something.

"I've been a little tired these past two days, and my appetite is not very good, so I want to have another bite of this. I brought it with you, so eat it. You can be happy only if you eat well. There is nothing that can't be solved by eating a meal. When we get to the place, I'll make you some chicken soup. I have a secret recipe, and I guarantee you'll love it."

Prince Jing: "Thank you."

Zhu Yu: "Why are you being polite? I've been eating and drinking your food all along the way, so I should be nice to you."

Watching Zhu Yu turning and leaving, Prince Jing lowered his head with an unclear expression and started eating. As expected, he stopped thinking about random things while eating and his mood improved a lot.

Zhu Yu walked while thinking about the boring conversation he had with the system just now. It turned out that the blackening value and the bond value both dropped by 1 point last night. After analyzing it for a long time, the two of them came to an uncertain conclusion. Perhaps if he had more contact with other people and other people were nice to Prince Jing, the value would also drop. In other words, Zhu Yu was here to show his presence in this steamed bread slice.

System, has it been lowered?

System: "Your shavings are steamed bread slices, not elixirs. How can they reduce your stigma? Little by little, they add up. Just keep treating him well with Ai Yun and keep giving him normal values. That will definitely reduce your stigma."

Zhu Yu: "You are a big liar."

When Zhu Yu and Ai Yun were eating happily, a shadow fell on their heads. They looked up instinctively and saw Prince Jing, who looked a little embarrassed.

Today, Prince Jing wore a moon-white robe with faint cloud patterns embroidered on it with silver thread. It glowed brightly under the direct sunlight, and he looked like a god.

Zhu Yu and Ai Yun had surprisingly similar thoughts: Is this great god from somewhere coming to take the lives of these two goblins?

Prince Jing's thin lips moved slightly, but the sound was not loud, but both of them heard it clearly. What he said was: "Is there any dumpling soup?"

Zhu Yu and Ai Yun: . . . . . .

Zhu Yu: "I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl. Please wait for me for a while."

Prince Jing glanced at Zhu Yu who had hurried away. She was wearing a light blue dress, and was very low-key and reserved. She would not stand out wherever she went, and she even fit in among the maids. He recalled the information about Zhu Yu that the spies around him had sent back at that time. How could a person suddenly change so drastically?

Prince Jing: "Miss, thank you for the medicine that day. It works very well."

Ai Yun felt extremely awkward being alone with Prince Jing, so she just replied indifferently, "You're welcome." The atmosphere then became cold again.

Prince Jing: "If you need any help along the way, just ask Zhu Yu to come to me. You're welcome."

Ai Yun: "Ai Yun would like to thank His Majesty first."

Prince Jing: "As I should, I will inevitably trouble you in the future."

The audience was silent again. . . . . .

Fortunately, there was hot water on the temporary stove, so the dumpling soup was cooked quickly, and Zhu Yu came back soon.

She came from a distance holding a bowl, with a carefree smile on her face and her clothes fluttering. Prince Jing was a little stunned for a moment. Somehow, he suddenly wanted to cruelly crush her heartlessness and watch her crying secretly in the dark corner like him.

"Your Majesty, please eat. I laid two eggs specially for you."

Prince Jing, who was distracted, only heard a few words: Zhu Yu said she laid two eggs?

What is she then? "Chicken essence?"

Zhu Yu: "How do you know?"

She did secretly add chicken essence, otherwise how could it be so delicious?

Ai Yun: ...

Although it is not so appropriate, she just thought of the sentence: This family would have broken up long ago without me.

Then she stretched out her hand.

"Your Highness, Ah Yu is not chicken essence. She just put two egg flowers in the dumpling soup for you."

"Ayu, stop making trouble. If you continue, the prince will really think you are a chicken spirit and catch you and roast you!"

Prince Jing took the soup bowl to hide his embarrassment, and Zhu Yu's heart was relieved. He laughed and said twice: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Seeing that Prince Jing looked normal, he added: "Your Highness, you are quite interesting when you make jokes. You don't have to be so bossy at ordinary times. Get closer to us. Don't treat us as women, just treat us as good brothers."

"Ahem!" Prince Jing was choked by Zhu Yu's words, "Okay."

After the little episode, the team broke camp. When counting the number of people, Wang Ma and Cuiping suddenly ran to the butler with panic on their faces, grabbed him and handed him an envelope, and said something. The butler's expression was also very confusing. It seemed that he was happy, but also a little worried. Although he said he was worried, it seemed a little fake.

After he spoke a few words to the two, he came to Prince Jing. After having a good lunch, Prince Jing, who was sitting on his horse, looked a little lazy. He casually cast his eyes on the butler who saluted him.

The butler controlled his facial expression, raised his head, and said in a businesslike manner: "Your Highness, the people below just reported that Miss Liu left a letter and her female guard has disappeared." As he said this, he respectfully raised the envelope high above his head and presented it to Prince Jing.

For some reason, Prince Jing felt impatient. Was this never going to end?

He opened the envelope carelessly and took out the letter inside. Before he could read it, he sneezed because of the strong smell of incense, which was a mistake. Then he felt even more annoyed. He glanced at it hastily and threw the letter and the envelope back to the housekeeper: "Let her go. Burn this one."

The steward received the order and withdrew, and the group headed towards the nearest port.

Without Liu Yinyin, Zhu Yu felt that the air was relaxed and fresh. At least for the time being, he didn't have to deliberately break up their marriage.

However, in life, all kinds of things always happen one after another, and you can't relax at all. On the waterway, they actually met the male protagonist in the original text.
