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

Shang Ruoyi and the others had already walked for several miles. The temperature became higher and higher as they walked forward, and the land where crops were supposed to be grown had already cracked.

The inn where people used to replenish water on the road had long been deserted.

The water in the officers' water bags was almost used up, and everyone set their eyes on the water bags in the He family's hands.

Shang Ruoyi saw all this and became defensive.

They couldn't walk any further, so they stayed in an empty inn.

The officials came to the backyard of the posthouse, looked at the dried-up well, and sighed, "I didn't expect the drought to be so severe."

"We don't know how many refugees there will be." The officers came to the second floor and looked around, seeing only dry land and no one living there.

"Boss, the sun is so strong and the temperature is so high. If we don't have water, we won't survive for long."

Zhang Hu looked at the prisoners who were already seriously short of water and said in a deep voice: "We must find drinking water, otherwise we will die of dehydration before we even leave this dry land."

"But it doesn't look like there's any water source here!"

At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

A dark shadow was tossing and turning among the He family.

"Where is it? I clearly saw it last night, why is it gone now?"

Suddenly, his wrist was grasped by a strong hand, and He Jingheng's low voice came: "You've come to me as a thief?"

The black shadow wanted to run, but he grabbed her wrist tightly: "Jinghe, you really have to have some dignity as a human being."

The person who came to steal water was none other than He Jinghe from the second house.

"Brother, I'm really thirsty." He whispered, "Can you give me just one bite? Just one bite."

"This water has always been with your sister-in-law."

In other words, he has no say over the water.

He Jinghe was surprised when he heard this: "Brother, how can such an important thing be placed in a woman's hands?"

"What else? Leave it with you?" He Jingheng sneered, "Go back to sleep."

He Jinghe walked back unwillingly. Qiao Yanxin saw it and snorted coldly inwardly, thinking that he was a useless person.

At daybreak, He Ning'an came to the old princess.

The old princess finally couldn't resist his soft and hard persuasion, and said to Shang Ruoyi: "Ruoyi, just give the second room a water bag!"

A water bag?

Shang Ruoyi sneered. If it weren't for the spiritual spring in her space, the water in those water bags would have been empty long ago.

"We don't have that much water." She took out the water bag from the package and shook it in front of the He family: "There is only half a bag of water in total, do you want to give it all to them?"

What? That's all I have left?

The old princess saw it and quickly changed her words: "One bite each!"

He Ning'an didn't refuse when he saw this. Even a sip would be good. At least he could hold on for a while. What if there was water if he walked a little further?

Just then, several men rushed towards her, or to be more precise, towards the water bag in her hand.

Shang Ruoyi kicked out and one of the men flew backwards. The other two men were blocked by Li Wenyuan before they could get close.

"Water! Give me water!" The man looked at the water bag in Shang Ruoyi's hand and shouted, "Please, just give me a sip!"

Shang Ruoyi frowned. It was not that she didn't want to take the things out, but she really didn't know how to use it. If others knew the secret of her space, they would definitely burn her to death as a monster.

The officer heard the noise and came over: "What's going on?"

The man lying on the ground crawled to the officer's feet, pulled his trouser legs, and begged, "Sir, give me some water!"

The officer kicked him away and said coldly, "You're asking me for water? You're dreaming!"

At this moment, she suddenly saw some big trees in the distance. Her eyes lit up and she said to the official, "Sir, I know where to find water!"

Zhang Hu heard this and hurried forward: "Where?"

When they got to the big trees, they saw that the tree was very tall, with an oval trunk and was very strong. The strange thing was that the other trees were all dry, but its leaves were still green.

"What are you doing here?"

Shang Ruoyi pointed to the tree and said with a smile: "The water source is here."

here?

This tree?

An official said coldly: "We have no water or food now, so we don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Your Excellency may not know that this tree is called a spindle tree. The reason why its trunk is so thick is because there is a lot of water hidden in it."

In her previous life, when she was on a mission in an extremely arid place, she saw this kind of tree planted there. Only then did she realize that trees can store water.

what?

Is water hidden in this tree trunk?

How can this be?

Shang Ruoyi looked at He Jingheng and said softly, "Can you make a hole in this tree trunk?"

He Jingheng nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife from Zhang Hu's waist. Before the officers beside him could react, he had already opened the hole in the tree and put the knife back into the scabbard.

Zhang Hu's pupils suddenly shrank. He knew very well that Prince Ding was an extraordinary warrior, but he had never experienced it personally. During this exile, including this time, He Jingheng had only made a move twice in total, once now, and the other time when he encountered the wolf pack.

After seeing him take action twice, he knew very well that He Jingheng was definitely the person with the highest martial arts skills he had ever seen in his lifetime.

Suddenly, the sound of rushing water caught his attention. It was... water!

When everyone saw this, they were stunned. There was really water in the tree trunk!

Several people quickly took out their water bags and filled them up.

When they returned to the inn, Zhang Hu gave each prisoner a bowl of water, and everyone felt alive again.

He Jingheng looked at her, smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It's nothing. My mother read me a book a few years ago. It talked about a lot of strange things. I thought they were all made up by the author, but I didn't expect them to be true. Fortunately, I wrote them down at the time."

Shang Ruoyi praised the excuse she had just thought of in her heart. This way, if she did anything unusual in the future, she could say that she saw it in that book. If He Jingheng asked about the book, she would say that it was lost after the house was searched.

Seeing that her expression did not change, He Jingheng smiled and said, "Although my mother-in-law did not teach you the art of housekeeping, she taught you how to survive."

Mother-in-law?

Shang Ruoyi blushed slightly and turned away.

They didn't realize that their every move was being watched by two people.

"I didn't expect that the prince of Ding would actually be fascinated by a woman."

"Your Highness was originally worried that He Jingheng would be difficult to deal with, but now it seems that he is just a loser who is obsessed with beauty."

"But I think there's something wrong with Shang Xiangye's concubine's daughter."
