The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Those who had thrown the multi-grain cakes on the ground because the He father and son said that Zhang was poisoned, glared at them angrily, silently picked up the multi-grain cakes thrown on the ground, and blew them carefully. At the moment, this cake was precious.

It was originally a good thing that Zhang was rescued, but Qiao Yanxin hated Shang Ruoyi because of it.

She looked forward to it day and night, hoping that her mother-in-law would die soon.

I thought the mushrooms would kill her, but I didn't expect she would only be sick for a few days.

This time, he had such a good opportunity and was about to suffocate to death, but was saved by Shang Ruoyi.

She looked at Shang Ruoyi hatefully, meddling in other people's business!

Shang Ruoyi, who was warming herself by the fire, felt a hateful gaze, but when she looked over, the gaze had disappeared.

She couldn't help but frown.

In her past and present lives, she has been extremely sensitive to any gaze directed at her.

Along the way, she has not provoked anyone except the second wife, so who else could want her life?

The heavy rain continued for a whole day and night, and there was still no sign of stopping.

However, their supplies had all been eaten up.

"Boss, what should we do? We don't have any dry food left." They were not afraid of starving, but they were worried that the prisoners would rebel.

After all, if you are trapped in the mountains, the result will be starvation to death, but if you rebel, there may be a glimmer of hope.

"The rain doesn't show any sign of stopping. Someone has to find something to eat." Zhang Hu looked at Shang Ruoyi. She was the one who found food the fastest here. It would be fine at other times, but with such a heavy storm, asking her to go out to find food while a group of grown men like them were waiting in the Taoist temple seemed a bit inhumane. Besides, although the Dingguo Palace had been investigated, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still as glorious as before.

He thought for a moment and whispered, "Give me the raincoat."

After He Jinghe was poisoned, Zhang Hu never let him look for food again. After all, he couldn't even tell whether it was poisonous or not, so no one dared to eat the food he found.

He called He Jingxi, who stood up with a bitter face. How could he know what ingredients were? Every time, Shang Ruoyi would share what she found with him so that he would not be scolded by the officials. In fact, he could not even tell the difference between wild vegetables and weeds.

Shang Ruoyi looked at He Jingxi's fearless look and suddenly began to worry whether the food she had eaten that night was poisonous.

Sure enough, an hour later, Zhang Hu and He Jingxi came back with a bunch of things. They were either weeds or poisonous, and none of them were edible.

When Shang Ruoyi told them the results, the expressions on their faces were very interesting.

There is no doubt that I will be hungry tonight.

Some prisoners took out the multi-grain cakes that were left over from yesterday. Due to the humid weather, the cakes had already gone rotten. They carefully scraped off the mold spots on them and ate them in small bites.

Qiao and others also took out the multi-grain cakes wrapped in handkerchiefs, but saw that there were many mold spots on them and they could not swallow them at all.

The officials didn't even have a bite of whole-grain bread.

Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi had no choice but to lie and say that she had to go to the toilet.

He ran to the foot of a nearby mountain in the rain and picked the ripe corn in the space.

As he picked the food, he said, "I wonder if not letting others go hungry can increase my merits."

When everyone saw her returning to the temple with a pile of corn, they almost dropped their jaws.

"Where did you get this corn?" Zhang Hu walked forward and said in disbelief, "I have never seen anything like corn along the way."

Shang Ruoyi said nonchalantly, "I saw it on the way back, in that forest." She casually pointed to the dense forest outside the Taoist temple, and Zhang Hu nodded in understanding. So that's it. It was the only dense forest that he and He Jingxi had not been to. He didn't expect that there was corn in it.

He Jingheng frowned upon seeing this. When he came here to hide from the rain before, he had already checked the terrain outside and there was no corn at all. It seemed that she had a lot of secrets!

After Shang Ruoyi roasted the corn and delivered it to the officials, there was just one corn left for each person, so Aunt Li and Fuzi each got one.

The aroma of roasted corn penetrated everyone's nose. They looked at the golden corn and kept swallowing their saliva.

Smells good! It smells so good!

As soon as the corn enters your mouth, a sweet taste fills your mouth.

"Ruoyi, this corn is so delicious! Can Xi still find that place? We can pick some more next time." Lin said in surprise: "It's really better than any corn I've ever eaten."

Before Lin joined the He family, her father brought back corn from the military camp several times, so she had eaten it. In Tianshun, only ordinary people would eat coarse grains like corn.

Shang Ruoyi shook her head and said, "The corns I picked are gone. I have already picked all of these corns. As for the different taste that aunt said, it is probably because they grow in the mountains. Maybe they have absorbed some spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, so they taste better."

As for the rest of the He family, except for He Jingheng, they didn't even know what corn looked like. When Shang Ruoyi handed the corn to them, they didn't know where to start eating it, let alone compare the taste.

After watching Lin eat, I realized that this kind of food should just be eaten directly.

They originally thought that it was just a temporary way to fill their stomachs and that Lin's words were a bit exaggerated, but when they took the first bite, they suddenly realized that this food called corn was so delicious.

They didn't care about their noble image and started to eat voraciously.

The officials were also extremely surprised. They did not expect that this corn was completely different from what they were used to eating.

Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you are really lucky. You can find food every time."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said nothing when she heard this.

Zhang was very jealous seeing how deliciously they were eating.

He looked at Qiao Yanxin next to him and tapped her forehead in dismay: "You useless thing. It's okay that you have a poor family background, but you can't even cook and you don't know the food. It's better for Jinghe to marry a farm girl than marry you. You're such a waste."

Qiao Yanxin lowered his head and looked at Shang Ruoyi with strong hatred in his eyes.

Why, why did you want to marry He Jingheng?

If it weren't for you, Zhang wouldn't treat me so badly.

Feeling that venomous gaze again, Shang Ruoyi frowned again.

Who is it?

The next day, the long-awaited sunshine finally appeared, and the officers hurriedly urged the prisoners to move on.

It had rained for two days in a row and the mountain road was very muddy. It would have taken an hour to reach the posthouse, but it took us an entire morning to get there.

"Boss, what should we do? We have been delayed for two days. If we continue like this, they will definitely scold us when we get to the post station."

"Let alone the hungry prisoners, we can't even walk fast. The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Can we fly there?" Zhang Hu said coldly, "If they don't believe it, they can just walk there themselves."

After walking for another half a day, they finally arrived at the posthouse.

As Shang Ruoyi and the others entered the inn, a familiar voice rang out: "This prince has been waiting for you here for a long time."
