After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

When Xie Ming returned to the East Palace, Shen Chu was reading a storybook in his bedroom with great interest. However, when he saw that the words on the cover of the storybook were upside down, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Why did Chu'er leave the East Palace today?"

He sat down next to Shen Chu, without any sign of annoyance on his face, as if nothing had happened.

If Shen Chu had not been certain that he had just heard those words, he would have thought that he was hallucinating.

But now Shen Chu has to consider how to answer Xie Ming's question.

She blinked and brought up Xie Ming's previous words, "Your Highness said before that I can enter and leave the East Palace freely."

"Not now."

"...Your Highness, don't keep your word?"

"If I wasn't here today, how would Chu'er have dealt with the situation just now?"

Xie Ming did not respond to Shen Chu's words, but suddenly asked about what happened just now.

In fact, Shen Chu had already thought of this problem a long time ago.

She is not a fool, so she can just let the system give her anesthesia later.

It's just that all the points are cleared.

Although he did not share the same idea with Fuling, Shen Chu knew that Fuling must have thought the same way.

They all have systems and must use them when necessary.

But she was not in a position to tell Xie Ming this.

Xie Ming would think she was crazy.

What medicine is so effective that it can completely prevent pain?

Even if Shen Chu said that Xie Ming didn't think she was crazy, he would definitely not believe it.

So facing Xie Ming's words, Shen Chu blinked, struggled with his words, and finally chose to say something nonsense, "Your Highness, I have a thick skin."

Who knew that as soon as she said this, Xie Ming's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed madness.

"Do you think Zhang Xing is joking with you? Even an elderly person could die instantly after being lashed with twenty sticks. Are you treating this as a joke?!"

Xie Ming's voice rose, and besides the anger, there was also obvious worry in his voice.

With Xie Ming's hands on his shoulders, Shen Chu blinked slowly and said in his heart that no, he could even get through childbirth with anesthesia.

But what finally came out was, "Isn't His Highness here?"

Her voice was very soft and her words were very clear.

Xie Ming held her in his arms and did not continue the conversation.

"If I take you out of the capital, will you follow me?"

"willing."

Shen Chu answered quickly without hesitation.

At the same time, she had some guesses in her mind.

Since Xie Ming asked her this, he must have already had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps before telling His Majesty about this, Xie Ming had already prepared to leave Beijing.

Shen Chu's guess was correct. Xie Ming was already prepared when he heard those words.

So when he heard His Majesty ask him what he wanted to do, Xie Ming directly told him his plan.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead people to the disaster-stricken areas to help rebuild homes for the victims. I hope your Majesty will grant me your permission!"

Sitting in front of the imperial desk, His Majesty slowly raised his head upon hearing this, and his majestic gaze slowly swept over Xie Ming. It took a long time before he spoke.

"Is what Ming'er said true? If you go there now, you will suffer a lot."

But on the other hand, if Xie Ming went there at this time, it would be of great benefit to his future ascension to the throne.

If you care about your people in this way, you will be loved by all the people of Qi.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ming's voice was firm, "What this son said is all from the heart, not a single word is false. However, at the same time, this son also begs the emperor to allocate some money from the national treasury for this son to take with him."

In fact, the court had already allocated money as early as when it received the news of the disaster, but after layers of exploitation and deductions, there was not much left to actually use for the people.

Upon hearing Xie Ming's request, His Majesty paused and shifted his gaze to the pile of memorials that had been piling up. "Do you know what, besides floods and droughts, is the most common memorial I've received recently?"

Xie Ming bowed, with some guesses in his mind.

"Tax reduction?"

The harvests have not been very good in recent years, and the people in various places must be suffering from the heavy taxes.

But if that's the case...what can he do if he goes to the disaster area empty-handed?

"Yes, memorials requesting tax reductions have been submitted since the beginning of the year. I've been suppressing them again and again, but I can only delay them for a while, but how long can I delay them? If I allocate a large amount of money to Ming'er, what will the people in other regions think?"

"My son, I understand."

This means he has to pay out of his own pocket to fill the hole.

After Xie Ming realized this, he immediately wanted to leave the Yangxin Palace, but before he could speak, His Majesty said, "But Ming'er has such a heart. How can I let Ming'er down? I will allocate 10,000 taels of silver from the national treasury for Ming'er to take away. As for how to distribute this 10,000 taels of silver, it is up to Ming'er to decide."

"Thank you, Father."

-

"Yunshu, His Highness has entered the palace to meet the Emperor?"

"Yes, Miss Shen."

"Is your Highness in trouble? Can I help?"

"Don't worry Miss Shen, His Highness can handle it."

is it?

How can we resolve natural disasters? Can humans triumph over nature?

Shen Chu supported his face with his hands and looked up at the sky.

Thinking of what Xie Ming asked her yesterday, she felt inexplicably heavy in her heart.

In fact, there should be a lot of people who want to cause trouble for Xie Ming, right?

The previous issues have not been resolved yet, and now new issues have arisen.

If what the system said was true, then if she wanted to leave Beijing, would Xie Ming be even less able to control her?

After all, Xie Ming's people are everywhere in the capital, so it is easy for her to leave, but if she goes somewhere else, it will not be easy for Xie Ming to trap her.

However, the system said that if Xie Ming went to the disaster-stricken area, unexpected situations might occur.

Does it mean that her progress bar will skyrocket by then?

If that's the case, she won't leave.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xie Ming appeared in front of Shen Chu. He strode towards him with a serious face, "Chu'er, do you still remember what you promised yesterday?"

The only thing she promised Xie Ming yesterday was that she was willing to leave Beijing with him.

Almost immediately, Shen Chu understood what Xie Ming meant.

Your Majesty has agreed to your request to leave Beijing!

"Nature counts."

Shen Chu nodded without hesitation.

She was happy when she thought about leaving the capital and her progress bar would go up.

"Then we will leave Beijing today."

Xie Ming grabbed Shen Chu's hand and led him inside.

But after taking only two steps, a voice came from behind, "Brother Crown Prince, how can you be so close to a maid as you are the Crown Prince?"

The voice sounded familiar. Shen Chu subconsciously turned his head, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It’s Xie Yun.

But at this time, there was no big black mole on her face!

Seeing the face he hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Yun paused slightly and smiled, "I'm sorry, your figure is too similar to the maid named Mudan yesterday. I recognized the wrong person."

"It's just that you look very similar to an old friend of mine."
