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

She slept until noon. When Shen Chu opened her eyes, Xie Ming was gone. She was the only one lying on the bed.

uh-huh?

Leaving so early?

What have you been doing?

She rubbed her sore neck, sat up from the bed, and then slowly got out of bed.

He was only wearing a thin inner garment, and the wind from outside blew in through the half-open door, making Shen Chu feel a little cold.

There was no choice but to change into thicker clothes and go out to look for someone.

As soon as she went out, she saw Yun Shu practicing sword in the yard, but she still hadn't seen Xie Ming's whereabouts.

Where have you been?

Is he busy with something else so early?

Seeing Shen Chu coming out of the room, Yun Shu stopped what she was doing and said to Shen Chu, "Miss, lunch is ready. You can have lunch now."

What?

Lunch?

It seems like it’s not early at all now, it’s already noon?

It's still meal time.

Her sleep quality is really good. She slept until lunch time.

"What about His Highness? Where did His Highness go today?"

From the time she closed her eyes to the time she opened them, she didn't wake up once, so she had no idea when Xie Ming left, nor did she know where Xie Ming went. She could only ask Yun Shu.

But she thought Yun Shu would not answer her question, but Yun Shu told her directly without hiding anything.

"Your Highness has gone to the place where the house is being rebuilt. Miss, there is no need to go there."

That's it.

"What about your Highness's lunch today?"

This question was quickly answered by Yun Shu, "His Highness will have lunch outside today, so there is no need for Miss to wait for him."

Why do I feel like Xie Ming had already arranged it?

Shen Chu nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

"Then come over. This is not the East Palace. Let's eat together."

Her tone was casual and she waved at Yun Shu.

The smile on his face was also very sincere.

Yun Shu, who was sheathing his sword, paused and tightened his grip on the scabbard.

Miss Shen seemed to really treat him... as a friend.

A long time ago, Shen Chu said that they could be friends.

No need to call her Miss anymore.

But Yun Shu did not respond.

At this time, Shen Chu was standing under the beam, looking at him with a smile on his face, sincerely inviting him.

He stood in the sunlight, as if this could completely hide the dark thoughts in his heart.

After a long time, Yun Shu finally responded to Shen Chu.

The sound is a little unnatural.

"Ok."

This time, his answer did not include the word "Miss".

But Shen Chu didn't notice such details.

Shen Chu is a talkative person, and even when she is eating, she still cannot be stopped from talking.

"Yunshu, has His Highness been busy with the house reconstruction these past two days?"

The tone was very casual, like a nonchalant question.

Hearing this, Yun Shu's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

This was noticed by Shen Chu.

She thought Yun Shu would lie to her after he untied the clothes, but she heard a completely unexpected answer.

"Not at all."

what?

Yun Shu actually betrayed Xie Ming?

Just as she was about to press him, she heard Yun Shu continue, "Besides the house reconstruction work, His Highness is also overseeing the construction of drainage canals and dealing with those officials in Yancheng who are taking their salaries but doing nothing."

Because doing this would not only use up the silver and money Xie Ming brought from the capital, but also the treasury of the Yancheng government.

Under Xie Ming's pressure, these people had no choice but to hand over the key to the warehouse and allow Xie Ming to enter the warehouse to take what he needed.

Although Yancheng has been severely damaged during this period, there is a saying that a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

There are still a lot of good things in the warehouses of the entire Yancheng if no one embezzles them.

Why do we say that there is no corruption?

The scene of the previous Yancheng County Magistrate being beheaded by His Majesty for corruption is still vivid in people's minds. Only three years have passed, and the fear in everyone's hearts has not completely dissipated. If it takes longer, it may not have any effect.

Hearing this, Shen Chu's expression became serious, and he suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you not want you to tell me this?"

Everything was developing according to Xie Ming's idea. Shen Chu's reaction and the questions she asked were exactly the same as Xie Ming had guessed.

Yun Shu clenched the bowl in his hand, and finally put it down after a long time, revealing an apologetic expression.

"Yes, His Highness doesn't want Miss to know, for fear that Miss will worry about him."

When Shen Chu heard this, the seriousness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he asked, "You told me this, aren't you afraid that His Highness will punish you?"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Just don't wander off looking for His Highness."

Hearing this, Shen Chu raised one brow, and even laughed in his voice, "How can you be sure I won't go?"

The other party didn't even raise his head, just ate his meal with his head covered. "Because I will follow the lady."

"..."

Okay, okay, why don’t you count it as not going?

If she wants to go, she must first get past Yun Shu.

But she couldn't beat Yunshu in a fight...

The key is that she doesn't have to hurt the other person.

If Xie Ming really didn't want her to go, then she wouldn't go.

Shen Chu quickly figured this out and continued to eat.

But soon she spoke again, "What am I going to do later?"

"If you want, you can go to Yancheng for a stroll. I will go with you."

Still want to go to Yancheng for a visit?

Yancheng is in such a state now? What else is there to visit?

Although he had such doubts in his mind, Shen Chu did not continue to refute, but nodded thoughtfully.

After Shen Chu filled his stomach, he took Yun Shu directly to the streets of Yancheng.

Before arriving, she was still wondering what there was to see in Yancheng after what it had gone through.

But when she and Yun Shu stood on the newly built streets of Yancheng, they were stunned.

This... seems a little different from when she first entered Yancheng.

But only a few days have passed.

Shen Chu looked at the scene in front of him with a dull expression on his face.

After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice still filled with disbelief, "Yun Shu, I'm afraid you didn't take me out of the city."

Hearing Shen Chu's words, Yun Shu smiled faintly and answered Shen Chu affirmatively, "No, this is Yancheng."

There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if this situation was also related to him.

Shen Chu noticed this and immediately reacted, asking hurriedly, "You... do you know? How did this happen? How did it suddenly get built?"

There was joy in her voice that she couldn't fake.

Yun Shu originally wanted to take her own, but just before she spoke, she said, "It's all thanks to Your Highness."
