The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile
Chapter 10 Buying rations
"I believe that we should cut the grass at its roots, to prevent them from making a comeback, we should do it halfway..." He stroked his neck with his hand.
"Oh, the people in the Dingwang Palace are old, disabled, and the ones who are still alive are just some female relatives. What kind of waves can they cause?"
"But He Jingheng is still alive!"
"Alive?" The man sneered, "I think when he wakes up, he will hope to be dead!"
“You mean…”
The man looked at the man on He Qinian's back and said, "He Jingheng was such a strong man. Now he has become a cripple. It will be hard for him to survive in the land of exile! When the time comes, I will let him experience the feeling of being unable to live or die."
"Your Highness is indeed wise! I can never be even one tenth as good as Your Highness."
The man in purple robe was none other than the current crown prince He Lingsheng.
He looked at the team going away with his eyes slightly narrowed. "He Jingheng, you have always been able to suppress this prince, and you deserve this fate."
He had already greeted the exiled officials and "entertained" the people from Prince Ding's Palace along the way.
The exile team walked for a whole day and everyone was thirsty, but the officials showed no intention of stopping to rest.
Shang Ruoyi didn't think it was a big deal. After all, in her previous life, let alone a whole day, even two days and one night could be a piece of cake.
But other people don't have her physical strength.
Especially the old princess, who has lived a life of luxury all her life. How can she bear to travel such a long distance now?
The others were not much better. The princess and Aunt Zhang also looked pale.
At this moment, the officer cracked his whip fiercely: "Stop! Rest where you are!"
Everyone sat down on the ground as if they had been pardoned.
The officer held a cloth bag filled with dried biscuits and gave each person half a piece.
The He family members looked at the cakes in their hands and looked at each other. Is this something that humans can eat?
As dry as a brick.
If you take a bite of this, your teeth will break!
And it's dry and there's no water to drink. Won't you choke to death?
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi found an exiled prisoner, walked up to the officer, and secretly took out a few copper coins. The officer then took out a water bag from the box. Another prisoner exchanged a silver earring for two white flour buns.
It turns out it can still be like this.
The other prisoners were not surprised at all when they saw this scene.
It seems that this matter is a convention.
Having said that, many of the exiled prisoners were former officials of the imperial court or their relatives, and they all had some background to some extent. Although the officials said they wanted to beat and kill them, they knew clearly in their hearts which ones could be beaten and killed and which ones had powerful families that could not be touched, so they had to give them some leniency.
Any exiled official who could hide some money on his person had relatives at home.
This kind of person cannot be touched.
Those who were penniless and had no background were in a more miserable situation. Most of them died on the way before they even reached the place of exile.
The He family also saw this scene. The princess pulled Shang Ruoyi's sleeve and took out a gold bracelet from her bosom. She said softly, "I hid this secretly. You can use it to exchange for some water and food! How are you going to swallow this dry food?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Mother..."
"Forget it, why call me mother? The palace is gone now, so just call me mother from now on."
"Yes!" The old princess said softly, "Just call me grandmother in the future."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Yes."
"Mom, our lives will be better when we get to the place of exile. I remember my father's former disciple is a manager in the place of exile. No matter what, they will still give face to my Qin family." Princess Qin whispered.
The old princess nodded and closed her eyes to rest.
Shang Ruoyi returned the bracelet to Qin and said softly, "Mother, you keep this bracelet for yourself. I still have some money on me. If I save it, it will be enough for our family to eat and use along the way. You must hide your things well. Maybe they will be of great use to us when we are exiled."
After saying this, he took out a few silver coins from his pocket, walked up to the official, and said softly, "Brother official, I wonder how many water bags and white flour buns I can get with these silver coins?"
When the leading official saw that it was her who was delivering the silver, he snorted coldly, "This silver is for a water bag and a steamed bun."
Shang Ruoyi understood that he was just trying to get more money.
She smiled and said, "So expensive? Could it be that my father remembered it wrong? Before leaving the city, my father gave me some silver and said that I could exchange it for some food on the way with the official brother. It seems that a few copper coins can buy a water bag. If it is so expensive, I am afraid that I will starve to death as soon as I leave the capital."
"your dad?"
"Yes! My father, the current Left Prime Minister, is Shangnian." Shang Ruoyi stared into his eyes without any guilt.
Shangnian?
Lord Shang!
"You mean that Lord Shang came to see you before you left the city?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded without blushing or beating her heart: "Of course."
The official's heart sank, for Lord Shang had indeed come to the city gate with the Crown Prince today.
Shang Ruoyi didn't expect that the lie she told would actually come true.
The officer looked at her for a few times and weighed the silver coins in his hand. The prince only told him to deal with the people in Dingguo Palace, but did not say anything about dealing with Prime Minister Shang's daughter. It seems that this young woman in front of him really cannot be offended easily.
He took out four water bags and some white flour buns and said, "Even if you are the daughter of Lord Shang, you have now become a prisoner. Do you know the difference?"
"Thank you, brother official. When my father takes me back to the capital, I will definitely ask him to give you a promotion." Shang Ruoyi smiled, turned around and walked to the He family, sharing the water bag and steamed buns.
"Ruoyi, what did you just say to the official? They actually gave us so much." Qin handed the steamed bun to the old princess and said with a smile: "Although this white flour steamed bun is much worse than the one in the mansion, it is much better than the cake."
"It's nothing, mother, let's try to have some white flour buns to eat along the way." He handed over the water bag: "Mother, grandma, drink more water."
After they drank it, they instantly felt much more comfortable than before. Qin smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I haven't had water for a long time. I didn't expect the water to be so sweet."
Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing.
Of course the water is sweet!
She added spiritual spring water into this water bag!
"Yes! This water tastes really good, and I don't feel as tired as I was just now." The old princess put away the water bag: "We have to drink water on this journey, so we have to save it."
Shang Ruoyi picked up the water bag and walked to the still unconscious He Jingheng, poured some spiritual spring water into his mouth, and after a while, he slowly woke up.
"Where is this?"
