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

Shen Chu originally wanted to ask casually, but she didn't expect Xie Ming to actually answer. This made her a little surprised. She opened her mouth, saw Yun Shu from a distance, and shouted to him with a louder voice,

"Yunshu, do you have any ointment for bruises and injuries?"

Yun Shu, who was still in shock, nodded subconsciously, "Yes, yes."

After nodding, he realized what Shen Chu wanted, so he said, "No, it's not with me. I'll go get it right away."

Shen Chu was still holding Xie Ming's hand, with a slightly awkward expression on her face, but the awkwardness disappeared instantly when she noticed something.

She stared at Xie Ming's earlobes, a little surprised, "Your Highness... why are your ears red?"

Did you accidentally touch your ear just now?

Hearing Shen Chu say this, Xie Ming's eyes opened slightly, and he himself was a little surprised.

what?

Are his ears red?

Xie Ming stared at her without changing his expression, "Maybe."

In fact, only Xie Ming himself knows what is going on.

"Oh, is that so? Then Your Highness, would you like to apply some medicine to your ears as well?"

As she said this, Yun Shu was already walking towards her with the ointment.

Taking the small porcelain bottle he handed over, Shen Chu opened the lid and dipped some ointment on his hand with his fingertips. He originally didn't want to remind Xie Ming, but after realizing something, he said, "It may be a little painful, Your Highness, please bear with it."

Xie Ming lowered his eyes and hummed softly.

Yun Shu, who was standing aside, felt a little bit redundant, so he wanted to leave.

But before he made any move, he remembered something and slowed down his pace of leaving. He stopped when he was a certain distance away from Xie Ming and Shen Chu.

The process of applying the medicine did not last long. Shen Chu finished everything quickly and finally blew gently on Xie Ming's hand.

The airflow was very small, but it brought a slight itch. Xie Ming's hand subconsciously shrank, and Shen Chu noticed this.

Shen Chu was a little surprised and stared at him, "Your Highness, is it still painful?"

It doesn't seem to be that serious. Is it that painful?

Is it because the injury is not on her body?

Shen Chu didn't know.

So he just opened his eyes and looked at Xie Ming, wanting Xie Ming to give him an answer.

"No, much better."

Xie Ming pulled his hand back, glanced to the side uncomfortably, and saw Yun Shu standing not far away. He asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Xie Ming speak up, Yun Shu immediately walked over here, his voice calm and he finished what he wanted to say seriously.

"Your Highness, we are about to reach Langya Mountain. Our spies have reported that there is a group of bandits on Langya Mountain who specialize in robbing people on the road. Their behavior is even worse than that of the bandits on Taiyin Mountain."

This is something Xie Ming needs to come up with a response to.

The two of them did not avoid Shen Chu's conversation, and Shen Chu could hear it clearly.

She was still a little dazed when she heard the name Taiyin Mountain.

Taiyin Mountain?

Isn’t this Fu Jinnian’s old nest?

Are their actions bad?

You really can't tell just by looking at Fu Jinnian's personality.

But it is also true that Fu Jinnian must have passed through halfway, but the world's impression of Taiyin Mountain has always been the same.

"How dare these bandits steal the royal property?"

Before Xie Ming could come up with a plan to deal with the situation, Shen Chu spoke first.

Seeing Shen Chu speak, Yun Shu paused for a moment, then spoke again, "The richer the people, the more they want to rob them, and the royal family is even more popular in their eyes."

In other words, these bandits are not afraid of the royal family at all?

That's really not easy to do.

Shen Chu didn't say anything, but stared at Xie Ming, wanting to see what he would say.

"Let's get everyone prepared. If those bandits dare to come, there's no need to go back. This will be a good opportunity to clear out these accomplices for the surrounding residents."

His voice was calm and serious, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Staring at Xie Ming like this, a trace of fear flashed through Shen Chu's heart.

But she quickly suppressed this fear.

What is she afraid of? Xie Ming is not going to kill her.

The pancake she had just eaten fell directly to the ground and was covered with mud and sand. Shen Chu picked up the pancake with a troubled look on his face.

Eat or not?

The disaster-stricken areas are in such difficult circumstances now, it would seem a bit unreasonable for her to waste food.

Xie Ming understood her hesitation and raised his hand to slap the pancake that Shen Chu had picked up again. However, when his hand was halfway extended, a thin figure jumped out from in front of Shen Chu, snatched the pancake from her hand, and began to gobble it up.

The moment Xie Ming noticed someone approaching, he pulled Shen Chu behind him. His expression turned cold in an instant. He pulled out the long sword in Yun Shu's hand and placed it directly on the little boy's neck.

But even so, the little boy continued to eat voraciously, as if his life was not as valuable as the pancake in his hand.

Looking at Xie Ming's stern profile, Shen Chu was a little stunned.

Before she could even react, Xie Ming pulled her behind him.

Do you care so much?

She turned her gaze away, only to see Xie Ming's sword resting on the little boy's neck. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't!"

Xie Ming did not have the habit of killing people indiscriminately. He did this just to intimidate the other party.

But I didn't expect that this child, who looked only five or six years old, was not afraid of this at all.

So when Xie Ming heard Shen Chu's voice, he quickly frowned and said, "I didn't want to kill him."

This made Shen Chu a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and moved away. "Haha, I think he must be very hungry."

The child in front of him didn't look big, but he was very short. It looked like he had less than two pounds of flesh on his body. Apart from a little skin, there were only bones left.

It's obvious that he hasn't had enough to eat for a long time.

"Little boy, can you tell me why you wanted to grab the pancake?"

There was only half of the pancake left, which was not enough to fill the little boy up. However, in the blink of an eye, he had eaten up that half pancake.

Hearing Shen Chu's question, he turned his head and looked at Shen Chu, his eyes bright and his voice full of energy, "Because I'm very hungry."

It's so righteous and it sounds so dull that it's a little cute.

Shen Chu's expression remained unchanged. Seeing his clothes, which were worn and patched, he guessed, "Did you get separated from your family, or did you walk here on your own?"

This place is not far from Yancheng, and it is not ruled out that the little boy fled here from Yancheng.

Soon, Shen Chu's guess was confirmed.

"I don't have a home now. Dad wants me to leave Yancheng, but I don't want to."

Shen Chu bent down and looked at him, "Why don't you want to?"

The little boy's eyes widened and his voice lowered a few notes, "Because my grandfather is in Yancheng."
