On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Just after sending Lieutenant General Li away, Beibei came back again.

As soon as he entered the yard, he panted and said, "Master...Master, the Wu family, the Wu family is in trouble again."

Linlang was puzzled and said, "What else could happen to his family? They are all dead, right?"

"Speak slowly," Yan Ruyu gestured to Linlang to give Beibei a cup of tea.

Beibei held the cup and drank half of it in one breath, then took a deep breath: "Someone came to the granary in the afternoon to ask for money. Old man Wu has no money, and his third son is dead. Those people gave him a deadline and asked him to pay back the debt."

"Old Man Wu agreed."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Agreed?"

"That's right," Beibei continued, "After these people left, not long after dark, someone from the government office came and asked Old Man Wu to identify the body. He has already gone to the government office."

"Recognize the body?" Huo Changhe was surprised, "Recognize what body..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Ping and Cui Chong came hurriedly.

Cui Chong stepped forward and greeted them: "Your Majesty, Princess, the body of the eldest son of the Wu family has been found. Someone reported it to the police. It was found in a ravine. Old Master Wu has been asked to identify the body."

"In the ravine? Did he fall in and die?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"The coroner checked and found multiple fractures and skin injuries on his body. There were signs of broken trees at the scene. As it was late at night, we will have to wait until tomorrow to check the details."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, originally thinking that Mr. Wu went to look for his wife, but perhaps got lost on the way, or missed each other for some other reason, and went to Qingfeng Temple, but failed to meet his wife.

I thought……

"Did you find him near Qingfeng Temple?" Huo Changhe asked.

Cui Chong unexpectedly shook his head: "No, it's at Sunset Slope."

"Sunset Slope?" Yan Ruyu was puzzled. "What is that place?"

"My princess, Sunset Hill is a small round hill. From a distance, it looks like the setting sun, so it's called Sunset Hill. It's very round and slippery, especially in winter. When covered with ice and snow, it's as smooth as a mirror. If you're not careful, you'll slide into the ravine nearby. There are often animals that fall to their death in the ravine. Most people just watch from afar and rarely go up there."

"I don't know why Mr. Wu would go there. Besides," Cui Chong continued, "the directions of Sunset Hill and Qingfeng Temple are in opposite directions."

"Going in the opposite direction?" Yan Ruyu was surprised.

If you say it’s a bit far, you can also say it’s a long detour, but in the opposite direction. How do you explain that?

It could only be that Mr. Wu was not going to see Mrs. Wu at all.

And they had always thought that he went to look for it.

Yan Ruyu asked again: "What about his servant? Can they be together?"

"No," Cui Chong shook his head. "It was a hunter who reported it to the police. He wanted to try his luck and see if there were any dead animals in the ravine. But he saw a man from the Wu family and quickly reported it to the police."

"Brothers, we went to check and searched carefully. There was no one else except Uncle Wu."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled. When Mr. Wu left the city, he took a servant with him and headed towards Qingfeng Temple. But now it seemed that not only was the direction wrong, but the servant was also missing.

What had he been through? Why did he go to such a dangerous place?

Did they go there on their own, or were they thrown there after death?

"Where is the body?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It's in the government office."

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe, who nodded: "Go change your clothes and dress warmly. I'll have someone prepare the car."

Yan Ruyu went back to the courtyard to change clothes. Song Ping said, "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare the carriage."

Song Ping went to prepare the car, Cui Chong also took his leave, and Huo Changhe stood there alone.

The night is deep and the weather is not very good tonight. Thick clouds block the moonlight, and the extremely thin light struggles to pass through the clouds and falls to the ground, appearing weak.

There was a hint of coldness in Huo Changhe's eyes. He originally thought that being wrongly exiled was the worst outcome. In this bitter and cold place, although the environment was poor, it was good that the whole family was together.

He already felt guilty towards his family, and it was inevitable that he would feel regretful for ending up in such a situation. Even if his mother consoled him and Ruyu said yes, he knew in his heart that this bitter and cold place could not be compared with other places.

It has come to this point, and there are still people who intend to harm him, using clumsy means without concealing it, and it is clearly written that I am framing you.

This made him even angrier.

He just wants his family to live a good life and he has accepted the tough environment. Why do you keep pressing him?

Huo Changhe was furious and made up his mind that he must get to the bottom of this matter and find out who was behind it, no matter who it was.

Silently, Jin Ding stood beside him.

"Your Majesty."

Huo Changhe looked at him and said, "Jin Ding, keep an eye on the Wu family."

"Yes."

Jin Ding retreated silently.

As footsteps were heard, the coldness on Huo Changhe's face faded away and he walked towards them with a smile.

"Have you changed the charcoal fire in the hand warmer?" He asked, pulling Yan Ruyu's hand.

"It has been changed, don't worry."

Huo Changhe felt relieved only when he felt the warmth of Yan Ruyu's hands.

"Let's go in through the back door and don't cause trouble for the governor. Old Master Wu is a scholar, and sometimes scholars get mad and insist on their own opinions, and they are even more stubborn."

"Okay, it's up to you."

When Governor Cao heard that they were coming, he hurried out to greet them.

"Your Highness and Princess have come at the perfect time. I guess they are here for Master Wu's matter, right?"

"That's right," Huo Changhe said, "Princess, I want to see his body. Is it next to the morgue?"

"No, it's not there," Governor Cao said, a little embarrassed. "The body is no longer in the government office."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Where did you go?"

"His father took him away," Governor Cao sighed, "I wanted to ask the princess to take a look, but after Old Master Wu identified the body, he insisted on taking the body away."

"He cried so hard, it was very pitiful. The coroner also examined him and took detailed notes. He definitely fell into a ravine and died. There is no doubt or inconsistency. The family members want to take the body away, and I will also..."

Yan Ruyu understood that under such circumstances, Governor Cao could not forcibly stop it.

"Princess, I'm so sorry."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "What are you talking about, sir? I didn't have the right to see the corpse in the first place. I just wanted to find out what happened. I have already used your back door."

"No problem, in that case, we'll take our leave."

Governor Cao hurried to see him off, but Huo Changhe said, "Please stay, my lord. You must have had a hard time these days, so don't be polite."

The two of them went out and got on the carriage. Huo Changhe whispered to Song Ping: "Go to Wu's house."

Yan Ruyu smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty knows my heart very well."

"Of course," Huo Changhe gently held her hand, "I will do whatever Yu'er wants to do for you."

When they arrived near the Wu family's house, the carriage stopped and Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu to the side wall of the Wu family's house.

There was no one around, so he easily climbed over the courtyard wall and landed inside the mansion.

Although the corpses were cleared away, there was still a faint smell of blood. It was a dark and windy night, and there was a bit of a scary atmosphere.

The two of them walked lightly inside to the yard of Uncle Wu.
