Yuntian and Yunqi were slapped away by their own prince. Before Yuntian could react, Yunqi covered his mouth and said, "Shh, the prince's wife is back."

Crown Princess?

When did Shangnian's daughter really become the Crown Prince's Consort?

That's not what they call her in private.

He Jingheng stared at her face and said calmly, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"What are you asking?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I won't ask what I shouldn't know. When we get to the place of exile, didn't we say that we would get divorced when we get to the place of exile?"

She mentioned the divorce again, and He Jingheng's eyes turned slightly cold. He thought that she mentioned the divorce casually because she was angry, but now that she mentioned it again, it was obvious that she had thought it over carefully.

"Why do you want to divorce so much? You should know that even if you divorce, you can't leave the exile land and will be imprisoned there for life." He Jingheng said in a deep voice: "After the divorce, as a woman, you will experience what in the exile land, do you know?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Of course, but who says that women can't survive on their own?"

He Jingheng was stunned by her question.

"Since ancient times, you men have always believed that women should obey their fathers at home, obey their husbands after marriage, and obey their sons after their husbands die. Who gave you this sense of superiority?" Shang Ruoyi fixed the dead branch on his leg again, raised her head and looked at him firmly: "In fact, many women can live well without relying on anyone. Although I was born in the Xiangfu, I have never enjoyed the life of a Xiangfu lady. Today, even without the identity of a Xiangfu lady, I can still live. For example, right now, your legs need my care."

He Jingheng looked at the light flashing in her eyes and his heart trembled.

In his twenty years of living in this world, he had never seen a woman's eyes as bright and shining as hers at this moment.

Shang Ruoyi patted his leg and said, "According to your recovery speed, this leg will be back to normal in a dozen days, but if you want the other leg to recover completely, you will need surgery."

"Surgery?" This word was completely unfamiliar to He Jingheng.

"The operation is to cut open your leg, reconnect the broken tendons, and then sew up the incision." Shang Ruoyi suddenly laughed when she said this: "If I can heal the prince's leg, I wonder what he will do to repay me?"

"What do you want?" He Jingheng's eyes were slightly teasing: "Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife wants..." His face suddenly approached, and he stretched out his index finger to lift her chin. His fingertips accidentally brushed across her lips, and before she could speak, she heard Shang Ruoyi say coldly: "The Crown Prince's leg is broken, I think you don't want this hand anymore."

He Jingheng paused, looked at her cold eyes, and withdrew his hand a little uncomfortably: "Just teasing you."

"The prince is so leisurely. He is almost disabled, yet he still has the mood to think about those things." She stood up and looked down at him, feeling quite condescending.

He Jingheng touched the tip of his nose and coughed lightly: "Then tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Let's talk about it later!" Shang Ruoyi returned to her seat without looking back and no longer looked at him.

He Jingheng looked at her back and put his hand on his chest.

Just now, his actions were definitely not meant to tease her. As for why this happened, he couldn't explain it clearly. He just stretched out his hand naturally. In his entire life, there were not many women who could even open their eyes to look at him, let alone flirt with them.

Yunqi, who was hiding in the distance, patted Yuntian on the head and said, "Now you know why she is the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Yun Tian’s eyes were wide open like cow eyes. If he hadn’t needed to hide, he would have shouted out loud: “Prince, Prince, he actually!”

Yunqi nodded: "That's right!"

"Did that woman give the prince some kind of drug? Otherwise, how could the prince do such frivolous things that only street hooligans would do?" Yun Tian said angrily, "Does this woman know some kind of witchcraft? No, she can't stay! Absolutely not!"

Yunqi held his forehead with his hand and wondered if this kid was mentally ill.

Their prince was obviously moved.

Shang Ruoyi returned to her seat and lay down at the foot of the mountain with her clothes on. The temperature was not too cold on a summer night, but there were too many mosquitoes in the mountains. She secretly took out a bottle of mosquito repellent from the space and sprinkled it around herself. Although her consciousness could enter the space, her body was outside after all. If she was bitten by mosquitoes, she would be the one who felt uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up one after another. The officer on duty rubbed his forehead and kept recalling how he fell asleep.

"Boss, I don't know what happened to me. I actually fell asleep last night."

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong last night. We'll have two people on night duty from now on."

"okay."

Shang Ruoyi overheard their conversation and secretly curled her lips. What would be the use of having twenty people, let alone two?

In the next few days, except for some occasional troubles caused by the second branch of the He family, the journey to exile was relatively smooth.

But people in the capital were not happy.

Ever since the Dingguo Palace was sentenced to exile, Shangnian has been thinking about taking back the dowry that Shang Ruoyi had taken away from the Dingguo Palace.

The emperor naturally wanted to take over all of Dingguo Palace's assets for himself.

In the imperial study, after the emperor discussed state affairs with several ministers, he left Shangnian alone to talk.

"My dear, now that everyone in the Dingguo Palace has been exiled, all of their property should be transferred to the national treasury. I will leave this matter to you personally!"

Shangnian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my unfilial daughter was exiled with the He family right after she got married. Her dowry..."

"Of course it will be added to the national treasury." The emperor smiled and said, "Since she has joined the Dingwang Palace, she is a member of the Dingwang Palace. Her dowry is also the property of the Dingwang Palace. Now that it has been confiscated, her dowry must be turned over. My dear, am I right?"

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is right." Shangnian wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"In that case, my dear, why don't you go quickly? What are you standing there for?"

"I'll take my leave." Shangnian brought the emperor's oral order and personally led 500 elite soldiers to the Dingguo Palace.

He stood in front of the Dingguo Palace, with a droopy face, and said to the leader of the Imperial Guards: "The emperor said that all property must be consigned to the national treasury, without leaving a single cent."

"Yes!"

Five hundred elite soldiers rushed into the Dingguo Palace. They made a long round, but apart from some worthless ornaments in the palace, they did not find even a tael of silver.

The leader of the Imperial Guards reported the matter to Shangnian.

"What? How is this possible?" Shangnian frowned. "How could there be nothing in such a huge palace? When they left, they were only wearing prison uniforms. Even if they hid some gold and silver, it was very limited. How could they empty the palace?"
