Fang Qingyou thought that it was because she was talking to Xuanhuang that he was punished. She thought that Luo Qianmo was quite strict and did not allow his subordinates to be distracted.

However, resettling the disaster victims is indeed an urgent matter.

Fang Qingyou straightened her expression and bowed to Luo Qianmo: "Eighth Prince, I am ready. Please come and request the city exit token."

Luo Qianmo nodded slightly and gave Xuan Zhu a look.

Xuan Zhu understood and immediately withdrew.

Soon, Xuan Zhu brought a team of four guards dressed in blue outfits.

"Miss Fang, we can leave the city now."

"Huh?" Fang Qingyou pointed at the four guards who weren't carrying baskets or hoes and asked in confusion, "Eighth Prince, you're not going to let them come with me in this outfit, are you?"

Luo Qianmo patiently explained, "Miss Fang, don't underestimate them. If they can really find food, they will bring back much more than your basket can hold."

"Oh." Fang Qingyou didn't question it any further. Luo Qianmo's words were not just empty talk.

So he gave the four guards a polite smile and said, "Brother guards, you've worked hard. Let's go together now."

“Yes, Miss Fang.” The four guards nodded in response, but did not move until Luo Qianmo took a step forward, at which point they followed.

Also moving was Xuanzhu.

Fang Qingyou was stunned. What did this mean? She had thought that only these four guards were going out with her, but now it seemed that Luo Qianmo and Xuan Zhu were also there.

"Eighth Prince, are you also going out of the city?"

"Yes, I'll go with you, Miss Fang."

“Eighth Prince, you…” Fang Qingyou frowned. Luo Qianmo was seriously injured, and although he had recovered a lot after more than half a month of recuperation, he was still not suitable for doing things that required a lot of physical exertion.

Given his status, I doubt that the ministers, the imperial physicians, or even She Ruifeng would allow him to venture out and take risks.

"Miss Fang, if you want to persuade me, then you don't need to go out." Luo Qianmo's light words stopped Fang Qingyou from saying anything more.

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched; Luo Qianmo's words were a blatant threat.

He brought so many subordinates with him on this trip; he could just assign a few to help her, there was no need for him to do anything personally.

Well, whatever her thoughts were, she couldn't change Luo Qianmo's decision. After all, he was the dignified Eighth Prince.

"Miss Fang, let's go without delay." Seeing that Fang Qingyou was still in a daze, Luo Qianmo urged her.

"Oh." When Fang Qingyou came to her senses, she was startled by the person in front of her.

The person who was speaking to her just now was clearly Luo Qianmo, but now that stunningly handsome face has been replaced by an ordinary-looking one.

This is the kind of face that would go completely unnoticed in a crowd.

Then, she belatedly realized that Luo Qianmo had used it.

Then, belatedly, he realized that it seemed he had already planned to leave the city.

"Miss Fang." A gentle light flashed in Luo Qianmo's eyes as he extended a hand to Fang Qingyou.

Fang Qingyou looked at the hand extended in front of her with confusion. It was slender and jade-like with well-defined bones. She didn't understand what Luo Qianmo wanted to do.

What is it that you want from yourself?

Forgive Fang Qingyou for not being narcissistic enough to think that he wanted to hold her hand.

Sure enough, Luo Qianmo pointed with his eyes to the basket on her back.

"Eighth Prince, what do you need this basket for?" Fang Qingyou asked, puzzled, but still took the basket off her back and handed it to Luo Qianmo.

She didn't think Luo Qianmo wanted to carry the basket himself.

Sure enough, Luo Qianmo took the basket and handed it to Xuan Zhu, who accepted it without hesitation and carried it on his back.

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched again. Luo Qianmo really knew how to boss people around. He was using other people's efforts to show off his own magnanimity.

However, she naturally dared not say these words to his face, lest he threaten her with other conditions.

Anyway, all six of these men were stronger than her, so she didn't care who did the physical labor.

The group of seven left through the north gate and headed towards the mountains.

The south has abundant rainfall and a humid climate, so even in September, the mountains are still lush and green with vegetation.

Upon entering the mountains, Fang Qingyou seemed to transform into an elf, her steps even lighter than on flat ground.

Soon, Fang Qingyou made a good start.

She found several kinds of wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain where she chose this spot.

Fang Qingyou excitedly displayed the wild vegetables in her hand, but Xuan Zhu and the others looked on with suspicion.

Is this really not weed, but wild vegetable?

Amidst the skeptical gazes of the crowd, Fang Qingyou explained in detail the taste and nutritional value of these wild vegetables before convincing them to search for them together.

Halfway up the mountain, she came across a patch of soft soil and found some wild sweet potatoes and autumn millet.

Upon reaching the summit, they reaped even greater rewards, finding hidden treasures such as winter bamboo shoots, wild carrots, and wild jujubes nestled deep within the mountains.

Seeing Fang Qingyou finding these things that they had never tasted before, Xuan Zhu and the others expressed doubts about whether these things were edible.

Even though she repeatedly assured everyone that everything was delicious.

They still doubted whether these things were really food.

Of course, Xuan Zhu and the others dared not show these suspicions, because they had not forgotten how terrifying their prince's eyes were when he first showed suspicion to Fang Qingyou.

Therefore, even if Fang Qingyou found a stone and told them they could eat it, they wouldn't doubt that it wasn't food.

Fang Qingyou was unaware of Xuan Zhu's thoughts. Whenever she found an ingredient, she would tell Xuan Zhu and the others about its growth habits and edible parts, and then hand over the task of harvesting it to them.

As for herself, she tried to find as many kinds of food as possible.

She doesn't have much time, so she has to make the most of it.

As Fang Qingyou searched, she gradually left Xuan Zhu and the others far behind. When she realized this and thought to herself that something was wrong, she found that someone was always following her.

She couldn't help but worry; what if there were wild beasts or something in these deep mountains? She wouldn't be able to handle them with her physical strength.

Her worries vanished instantly when she saw Luo Qianmo by her side.

When Fang Qingyou looked at Luo Qianmo, Luo Qianmo happened to be looking at her as well.

Fang Qingyou immediately gave Luo Qianmo a friendly smile. He was her only bodyguard at the moment, and she couldn't afford to offend him in the slightest.
