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

Wu Zhouce's selfishness and coldness made Yan Ruyu and others reach a new level of understanding of human nature.

After asking almost all the questions he wanted to ask, Huo Changhe asked Yinding to send Wu Zhouce back to the prison.

Wu Zhouce was relieved that he didn't have to die for the time being, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to jail, he felt unwilling.

"My lord, please forgive me once. I am willing to be your servant and do whatever work you want!"

Huo Changhe looked at him disdainfully: "Use you? I'm afraid you'll dirty the palace."

He waved his hand, and Yinding dragged Wu Zhouce out. The old man wanted to say something, but was knocked unconscious by Yinding's palm.

"Shameless thing, you still dream of going to the palace, ugh!"

Linlang drove the car, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe got on the carriage. It was much warmer in the carriage, and Yan Ruyu exhaled slowly.

"Don't be angry, this kind of person is not worth it," Huo Changhe held her cold fingers, "He has always been used to a life of luxury, and being thrown into jail is enough for him. Besides, those jailers will not let him go."

Yan Ruyu seemed to be thinking: "Su Wude died too quickly. I haven't asked him how he rescued Wu Zhouce. I don't know what the rustling sound of rain the jailers heard was."

Huo Changhe couldn't figure this out either: "It should be related to Tang Yibai. He was the one who killed the person."

"By the way, we still need to search Wu Zhouce's room in the academy. Didn't he say that someone notified him to go home? Let's see if we can find the note and any clues."

"Okay, I'll take care of these, don't worry."

Huo Changhe gently embraced her, and they were both speechless for a moment.

The wheels rolled over and pressed on the snow, making noises.

Yan Ruyu closed her eyes slightly, thinking back to what Wu Zhouce had just said. Who could the person covered in blood and carrying a map be? Was he being hunted down because of the treasure map?

Could the so-called legend be true?

As she was daydreaming, the carriage suddenly stopped and she fell forward due to inertia.

If Huo Changhe hadn't held her, her shoulder would have hit the wall of the car.

Huo Changhe supported himself with one hand to steady himself.

"Linlang, what's wrong?" Yan Ruyu asked quickly.

After a pause, Linlang's voice came from outside: "No, nothing, a cat just ran over, the ground was too slippery..."

"Master, are you okay?"

Yan Ruyu didn't take it to heart: "It's okay, walk slowly, don't rush."

"Yes."

The speed of the carriage slowed down a bit. When they got home, Linlang went to park the carriage, and Huo Changhe pulled Yan Ruyu back to the yard quickly.

The boss had just cleared the way and returned to the house smoothly. His cold body slowly warmed up.

Yan Ruyu's hands and feet felt warm, and she picked up her pen to write down everything Wu Zhouce said.

Huo Changhe arranged people to go to the academy and search Wu Zhouce's room.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. When it was time to light the lamps, Yan Ruyu looked out the window into the yard and saw a thick layer of snow.

The boss was wearing a cloak and sweeping again.

She opened the window and said, "Don't sweep yet. The snow won't stop falling anyway. Go to the kitchen and tell them that we're going to have hot pot tonight."

The boss' voice was filled with joy: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Huo Changhe came in from outside and ran into her head on.

"Your Highness, the princess said that we would like to have hot pot tonight. I will go to the kitchen to get the pot."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Go ahead, get two fresh fish, I'll clean them myself, Yu'er will like them."

"Yes."

Huo Changhe walked into the courtyard, took off his cloak and walked in the outer room to dispel the cold air before slowly walking into the house.

"What are you writing?"

Yan Ruyu stopped writing and said, "Let's sort out the Wu family's affairs."

Huo Changhe took a look at what she wrote and said, "The Wu family is destroyed, and this case probably won't be solved. It all depends on how Governor Cao writes in the file. Oh, by the way, I sent Wan Niang to the military. She is a spy, and this kind of thing should be handled by the military."

"Didn't she say she came from Shencheng? Will she be sent back to Shencheng?" Yan Ruyu didn't know much about this.

"If she was a spy from another country, she would definitely be executed if caught," Huo Changhe explained, "but in her case, she should be sent back, as long as she can explain clearly and what she said can be verified with the local situation."

"Youcheng and Shencheng are so close, we will know the result soon. Li Mingcheng will take care of it."

In that case, Yan Ruyu did not ask any more questions.

In a short period of time, the Wu family was gone, and so was the Su family.

But it didn't make Yan Ruyu very happy.

What she wanted was the truth, not to destroy anyone's family. Now that so many people have died, the person behind the scenes is still unknown.

She pointed to the note she had just written: "There is another question, it's a bit strange."

Huo Changhe shook her hand and felt that the temperature was OK: "What's the problem?"

His eyes flicked over there: "Are you referring to Wu Lao San?"

"Yes, his head is missing. We haven't found it," Yan Ruyu was a little puzzled. "Su Wude forged a knife to forge evidence in order to frame us. This should be Tang Yibai's idea. We have also seen Su Wude's corpse. It was similar to the way some members of the Wu family died, with a sword piercing his throat."

"That is to say, the Wu family might have been murdered by Tang Yibai and his men. Why did he do that? Did he know about the conflict between us and the Wu family and fabricated a massacre to frame them?"

"If that's the case, then why did he cut off Wu Laosan's head?"

It's a bit weird indeed.

Yan Ruyu added: "Your Highness, do you think that Tang Yibai, with his cunningness, could this be intentional?"

Huo Changhe understood what she meant instantly: "I mean, Tang Yibai deliberately chopped off a man's head just to confuse us and make us unable to guess his actions, or to lead us to investigate Wu Laosan's enemies?"

Yan Ruyu nodded slowly, but she felt in her heart that the probability was a little low.

"Tang Yibai is a bit arrogant," Huo Changhe continued, "He usually doesn't take action easily. For people like the Wu family, he doesn't care about the lives of the Wu family members, but he cares whether the blood of the Wu family members will stain his sword."

Yan Ruyu nodded, agreeing: "Indeed."

"I still haven't figured out why he wanted to kill the Wu family."

Huo Changhe suddenly thought of something: "Do you think he came here for the map?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned.

"That's right. I didn't think of that. It's mainly because Tang Yibai is an adult. After all, he is not from this country, so I didn't connect him with this matter at all."

While the two were still thinking, they heard footsteps and laughter outside.

The boss brought people to get the pot and ingredients.

And there is the voice of the eldest lady.

The two of them looked at each other and went out to greet them.

Sure enough, the eldest lady came into the yard with the boss, wearing a cloak, stepping on the snow, and laughing heartily.

"Mother," Yan Ruyu said, "How did you get here in such a heavy snow? I told you to have someone bring it to you later."

"That won't work. It will only be fun if there are more people."

The eldest lady patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, this little bit of snow is nothing."

"Come on, please come in."
