Then he turned to the bailiff and spoke in a stern tone.

"Wu Yong, although these people are prisoners, he was once a war king who fought for the people. You can't abuse private punishment!"

Wu Yong's face changed. He obviously didn't dare to disobey Li Mao's order. He replied in a low voice: "Yes, boss."

He reluctantly retracted the whip, stepped aside and glared at Mo Tianyu and his group fiercely.

Ye Zirou helped Xiaoling up and put her in Xiaoqing's arms.

"Don't let me see you bullying others again, otherwise I will never let you go." Ye Zirou said coldly to Wu Yong.

Wu Yong wanted to say something, but Li Mao interrupted him.

Li Mao turned around and looked at Ye Zirou: "Miss Ye, I am Li Mao. Although you have committed a crime, I respect heroes and I know that you are not evil people.

Today's matter ends here, but you must obey the instructions and not cause trouble again."

Ye Zirou nodded.

Li Mao then called on everyone to move forward.

After walking for a while, Li Mao suddenly stopped and turned around to say to everyone: "There is a dilapidated temple not far ahead. We will rest there tonight."

As night fell and the sky grew darker, the group finally arrived at the dilapidated temple.

The temple gate is dilapidated and seems to have been abandoned for many years.

The Buddha statues in the temple are also incomplete, but fortunately they can still provide shelter from wind and rain.

Li Mao took the lead and walked into the temple and ordered people to light a bonfire.

"Everyone, take a rest first and spend the night here." Li Mao said with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Ye Zirou looked around and found that although the temple was simple, it was still clean.

She found a corner for Mo Tianyu to sit down, and the others also found a place to sit down.

Then, Ye Zirou ran over to check Xiao Ling's injuries. Seeing the bright red bloodstain, her face was filled with anger. She scolded Xiao Ling in a very disappointed manner, but her voice was full of heartache.

"Are you a fool? He hit you, why didn't you dodge? If that doesn't work, hit him back!"

Xiao Ling lowered her head, her voice weak and trembling: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the prince and princess."

"Hey, don't do this next time. If someone hits you, you have to fight back, okay?

My people can't be bullied for nothing." Ye Zirou sighed deeply and her tone slowed down a little.

Xiao Ling nodded with tears in her eyes.

Ye Zirou looked at Xiao Ling's pitiful appearance, and felt helplessness and pity in her heart.

Xiaoling's personality really can't be changed in a short time.

In comparison, Xiaoqing's liveliness and activity stand out, forming a strong contrast.

Ye Zirou secretly reached her hand into the space, put the medicine into a porcelain bottle, and then took it out to give to Xiaoqing.

“Xiaoqing, apply this ointment to Xiaoling’s wound, and she will be healed tomorrow.”

Xiaoqing glanced at the princess curiously, her heart full of doubts.

She saw the princess busying herself with her sleeves for a long time, and couldn't help but secretly guess:

[So she was taking the medicine. It took so much effort. It seems the princess has hidden a lot of things in her sleeves! ]

"Okay, I got it, Princess. I will take good care of Xiaoling." Xiaoqing said with tears in her eyes.

Long Yi and Long San also noticed the movement here, especially the bloody wound.

An indescribable complex emotion surged in Long San's heart.

Ye Zirou left Xiaoqing alone to apply medicine to Xiaoling, and she returned to Mo Tianyu.

Li Maoze was busy on the side, distributing a hard black steamed bun to each person.

On the way to exile, the yamen runners were responsible for providing food to the prisoners, but the variety of food was very limited. There were only some dry and hard steamed buns, with a little water, which could barely make people feel full.

Despite this, these simple foods seem particularly precious in their eyes.

Ye Zirou took the steamed bun and frowned.

She poked the bun gently with her finger and found that it was as hard as a rock and could kill a person.

A look of disgust emerged on her face, and the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, obviously she was extremely dissatisfied with the food.

"How can we eat this?" Ye Zirou complained in a low voice, "It's better to chew on tree bark."

When Wu Yong heard her words, his face darkened and he sneered, "Do you really think of yourself as a princess? If you don't want to eat, don't eat it. It's best not to touch it all the way.

If they starve to death on the way, we won't have to travel such a long distance with you."

Ye Zirou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and shoot him - in her previous life, she had never suffered such humiliation.

Li Maoze, who was standing next to her, heard her complaints.

"Miss Ye, this is the best food we can provide."

Li Maoze patiently explained, "The journey is long and the food is limited, so everyone has to make do with what they can eat."

Ye Zirou had a very good impression of Li Mao. At least he was polite to the prisoners, unlike Wu Yong.

"Boss Li, is there really no other food?" Ye Zirou frowned.

Wu Yong sneered, his tone was a little sarcastic: "With your status, what are you still picky about? You have eaten a lot of delicacies from land and sea, so why can't you bear to eat the same food as us?"

"Tsk~"

Ye Zirou looked at his irritating appearance and felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Li Maoze saw her anger and gently advised: "Miss Ye, don't bother with him, he is just a rough man."

Ye Zirou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

There was a cunning gleam in her eyes, and she obviously didn't intend to let Wu Yong go easily.

In any case, he has to be taught a small lesson.

Then, Mo Tianyu saw Ye Zirou flick her fingers out.

After a while, Wu Yong started scratching his body continuously.

"Rou'er, what did you give him?"

"It's nothing, just some itching powder. It will be fine by tomorrow morning. But he might not be able to sleep well tonight!" Ye Zirou covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Naughty!" Mo Tianyu tapped Ye Zirou's forehead.

A bright smile bloomed on Ye Zirou's face.

"Who made him chatter all the way and make so much noise?"

Wu Yong kept scratching himself, thinking that this place was unclean, so he moved and sat outside the temple gate.

Ye Zirou took a look at the steamed bun and put the black bun into her sleeve.

Mo Tianyu, Long Yi and Long San didn't care.

He was a man who had been on the march and fighting in battles. They had long been accustomed to this hard life, and they had even endured worse environments.

However, when Mo Tianyu's eyes fell on Ye Zirou, an uncontrollable sadness surged in his heart.

She should have been enjoying wealth and glory, but because she married a disabled prince, she not only did not have a good life, but was also exiled with him.

Thinking of this, Mo Tianyu felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles. He felt both distressed and guilty.

"I'm sorry for wronging you, Rou'er."
