After being exiled, the Crown Princess rose to the top by pitting the villain

Chapter 5: Take you to collect the emperor's private treasury

The woman in front of him was petite and thin, bending over to help him get dressed. Some old scars could be vaguely seen on her exposed skin, each of which told of her miserable past, making people feel distressed for no reason. Her innocent starry eyes like a deer were staring at him intently, as if they were talking.

They had never been together. Apart from the time when she ran into his arms, this was the second time he met her. He had never known that, in a situation he was not aware of, a woman missed him, thought about him, and believed in him so much...

Yun Zhiyu was a little flustered for a moment. This friendship was quite heavy and he didn't know how to deal with it.

His heart was indeed in turmoil, and it would be a lie to say that he was not touched, but he was still far from accepting her feelings. After all, only a few hours had passed, and he had only just gotten rid of his wariness of her.

"You..." Yun Zhiyu's expression softened, and he looked at Lin Zili and continued, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you, I will try to..."

To love your...

Yun Zhiyu silently added the second half of the sentence in his heart, and his pale face suddenly turned red.

what?

What is he talking about without any context?

Lin Zili tilted his head, unable to figure it out.

She was just too embarrassed to admit that she couldn't wear complicated men's clothing, so he asked her what she was responsible for.

Could it be that he looked at the butt?

Brother, this really isn’t the case...why don’t we be partners and make money together and reach the peak of our lives?

Seeing that Yun Zhiyu had no intention of helping him figure out how to dress, Lin Zili could only continue to study silently.

Fortunately, with the memories of his original body, Lin Zili finally figured out how to wear the robe. He carefully straightened his collar, and only then did he have time to ask for details.

"Tell me, what was the reason for the beating?"

"The emperor ordered me to lead 100,000 troops to attack Heng State, but I refused. I was charged with disobeying the emperor's order and was beaten with 80 sticks."

Heng country?

In recent years, Ruo State has been in a delicate balance with its neighboring countries and has been relatively peaceful. Why are they suddenly sending troops now? Is there an emergency at the border?

Even if the border is in danger, Ruo State has no shortage of experienced veterans, so why send a sickly man who has only fought for a few years?

"No." Yun Zhiyu understood the confusion on Lin Zili's face and shook his head.

Lin Zili nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Even if the Prince of Jin's Mansion was under surveillance, they would still be able to find out about changes at the border. The fact that he didn't receive any news was most likely an excuse made up by the emperor.

"If you agree to go to the battle, you will die of illness on the way. If you disobey the order, you will be beaten to death. He will not lose out either way. Even if you are lucky, an imperial decree will come down tomorrow, accusing you of treason. In order to fit his image of benevolence and love for the people, he will be merciful and sentence you to exile to the north. This is enough to kill you. In addition, if you encounter some accidents on the way, it will not be difficult for the whole family of the King of Jin to die. By then, he will still be a benevolent monarch who loves his country and his people, while you will be spies who will suffer the consequences."

Lin Zili has watched many dramas about palace fighting and political intrigue, but never thought that she would be in the middle of such a vortex. Now that she is in the situation, she feels the same way.

"My father may have been in trouble. There are many women in the Jin Palace. I need to make preparations early."

Yun Zhiyu's eyes were frosty and his whole body was filled with coldness. He clenched his hands into fists and pursed his lips. He was full of reluctance, but helpless.

He and his son only wanted to protect their family and country, and never had any thoughts of treason. His father lived on thin ice for half his life and did not have a good ending in the end.

Now, he had implicated the woman who loved him wholeheartedly for no reason!

"As long as you're not dead, there's always a way to live well. Cheer up, and we'll plan our next move carefully." Lin Zili saw that he had an unhappy expression on his face, and hurriedly patted Yun Zhiyu's hand to comfort him.

She wanted to ask Yun Zhiyu whether there was someone secretly arranging things in the Prince Jin's Mansion, but she felt it was too abrupt and would make her intentions seem impure, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and changed the subject.

"We need money on hand to survive. We can't alert the people in the mansion, so we can only find a way to get the money ourselves."

Lin Zili thought about her current shabby space and sighed.

"Just now when I was in the palace, I sensed a spatial warning. What happened? Is it because you are bound to me that your spatial difference occurred?"

If that's true, she has given too much for him, and he has to be extra nice to her.

"Uh…"

Lin Zili suddenly didn't know what to say.

It can't be said that she broke into the palace's storehouse, but was warned by the space that it couldn't load, right?

"I went to the warehouse to collect a few things, and then... hey, you can go into the space and see for yourself."

"No need, you are my wife. No matter what you do, it's all for me...for the good of our palace."

what?

Lin Zili was caught off guard by Yun Zhiyu's sudden trust.

Could it be that the original body had a face that was easy to convince people?

At this moment, a strange sound exploded in the minds of both of them at the same time.

The two of them were startled suddenly, looked at each other, and both entered the space to check.

There was nothing unusual in the space, and the supplies in the pharmacy were neatly arranged. Lin Zili saw Yun Zhiyu glance at the table calmly, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"You, do you want to eat..."

Lin Zili picked up a piece of dessert and fed him to cover up her guilty conscience.

“It’s quite delicious…”

Seeing the man in front of her staring at her hand with a dazed look, Lin Zili retracted her hand awkwardly and changed the subject stiffly.

"It's nothing, why are you giving me a warning?"

Seeing Lin Zili's fleeing back, Yun Zhiyu showed a very faint smile on his lips, cleared his throat, and reminded: "Li'er, the compartments on both sides of the pharmacy."

Compartment?

Lin Zili looked over and found that the locks of the two rooms next to the pharmacy had disappeared inexplicably. At this time, the two compartments were slightly open.

Yeah! That's great!

She had been trying to figure out how to unlock it, but couldn't open it no matter what she did. But now it suddenly opened. Although there were only two rooms, didn't this just mean that her space was slowly recovering?

Lin Zili was immersed in the joy of the space slowly recovering, so she naturally didn't pay attention to Yun Zhiyu's overly intimate address, nor did she notice his gentle expression.

It turns out that she loves to eat these sticky little snacks?

She really treated him specially, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to feed him. Unfortunately, he was just in a daze and didn't take the snacks. She must have been very disappointed.

Yun Zhiyu was secretly annoyed at his own dullness and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the current situation did not allow him to say more.

"Li'er, it seems that your space is slowly recovering, so we can go somewhere else to collect the compensation we deserve."

Since the space is showing signs of returning to normal, they should take advantage of it.

He looked around the two large compartments and saw that they were filled with clothes he had never seen before and strange foods. Yun Zhiyu did not ask any further questions.

"Ok?"

Lin Zili was just about to explain these things that would not appear in the current era when she was attracted by his words.

"Come on, I'll take you to the emperor's private treasury."
