Before Li Jingyao could say anything, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe arrived.

"Wait a minute."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward, took the tweezers from Doctor Cao's hand, and carefully observed the wound.

Sun Chuchu held up the candle with great foresight.

Yan Ruyu whispered to Doctor Cao, "This wound is very similar to the one on Jiang Tangli's leg."

The last time Jiang Tangli was treated, Doctor Cao was not there, Yan Ruyu only described it to him.

This time they said they were very similar, so Doctor Cao quickly observed them carefully again.

"Jiang Tangli's was grabbed firmly, while this one was scratched with fingernails, not firmly."

Doctor Cao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what happened."

Li Jingyao: Okay, here comes another person to observe the wound and teach on the spot.

After examining the wound, Yan Ruyu washed Wen Zhiyan's wound personally, applied medicine, and asked military doctor Cao to bandage it.

Sun Chuchu quickly said, "I'll do it."

He is quick and deft, and can wrap things quickly and well.

Yan Ruyu washed her hands and asked Wen Zhiyan, "How do you feel?"

Wen Zhiyan hesitated a little, Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Don't think about it, just say it directly, everything counts."

Doctor Cao and Sun Chuchu both looked at him eagerly.

This type of injury is extremely rare, and it is difficult to see it with your own eyes and treat it with your own hands. Then, hearing the injured person’s feelings is the best way to learn.

Wen Zhiyan's throat rolled slightly. For the first time, he felt that describing the injury was so stressful.

"When I was first injured, maybe it was because I was nervous or something else, it only hurt for a while, and then I didn't feel much. Before I took the pill, my head felt a little heavy and my feet felt a little dizzy."

"After taking the pill, I gradually returned to normal. When I was washing just now, I felt a little more pain than before. On the way here, my injured arm felt a little numb."

As he spoke, Sun Chuchu took a piece of paper and took notes.

"Now..." Wen Zhiyan frowned slightly, "The pain is a little more intense, but it's bearable."

Doctor Cao said, "The pain has intensified and the numbness has subsided. This means the poison is being alleviated, which is a good sign."

Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement.

Doctor Cao muttered, "When injured, people don't feel pain and think they are fine. They don't rest. By the time they find out, it's already too late. This poison is quite vicious."

Yan Ruyu's mind moved slightly. If she thought about it from another perspective, wouldn't it be good to use this toxin to make anesthetic?

Just as he was thinking, Sun Chuchu stepped forward and said, "Princess, I am a commoner..."

Sun Chuchu blushed and was speechless.

"Whatever it is, just tell me."

"I'm looking at Uncle Cao's little pointy-mouthed thing. I think it's really good. Can you sell me one?"

He was referring to the small tweezers.

Yan Ruyu laughed dumbly: "No need to buy, I'll give you a set! Are you responsible for Mr. Jiang's affairs?"

Jiang Yanmu had just arrived and the person behind the scenes had not yet revealed himself. Yan Ruyu was still worried that he would be targeted again, so she did not let him find a doctor himself, but asked Song Ping to invite Sun Chuchu to treat his injury.

Sun Chuchu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I have to change the medicine tomorrow."

"After you change the medicine for them tomorrow, come to the palace and take the things away."

Sun Chuchu's lips trembled with excitement: "Thank you, thank you, Princess!"

After bidding farewell to military doctor Cao and the others, Yan Ruyu and the other three returned home.

Just as they reached the gate of the courtyard, Linlang stepped forward and said, "Master, Song Ping came here and said that the man surnamed Hou had come to recruit you."

After saying that, he handed over two pages of paper written by Hou Bulai.

Yan Ruyu gave him one hour, and in fact he finished writing in less than an hour, but Song Ping kept withholding it and didn't send it to him.

It is to deliberately make him anxious and make his mentality unstable.

Yan Ruyu took the confession back to her room and read it carefully under the lamp.

Huo Changhe hung up the clothes, washed his hands, and made the brazier burn brighter before he walked over.

"Did you find anything?"

Yan Ruyu pulled him closer and they looked at it together.

"According to Hou Bulai's confession, he went into the city to have a drink at a brothel and met the mysterious man. The man stopped him at the exit of the brothel's back street and showed him a few moves. Hou Bulai did not dare to resist."

Huo Changhe nodded slowly: "He was able to scare Hou Bulai to death with just a few moves, which shows that this person is very skilled."

"The key is here," Yan Ruyu pointed at a line of words, "Look, Hou Bulai said that the mysterious man knows everything about him, so..."

"He didn't just randomly find Hou Bulai, but he had been eyeing him for a long time. It's not the first time he went to the brothel to drink."

"That's right," Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, "Then why did the mysterious man go to Hou Bulai? He has average skills and average brains. Although he is a military strategist, he is really average to Fengzhai."

Huo Changhe's lips curled up slightly: "Perhaps, this person just likes Hou Bulai's average in all aspects?"

Yan Ruyu tilted her head to look at him, and these words suddenly made her understand.

"What the prince meant is that because he is average in everything and has nothing special about him, and he has a group of people under him, he is the most suitable person to do this."

"Yes, just throw it away after use. There's no need to worry about any information being leaked. At worst, you can just kill the person."

"However, even if Hou Bulai is not killed, there is nothing to reveal." Huo Changhe continued to read the words above. "Yu'er, think about it, if it was the government who caught him, would they ask so many questions and think so much?"

"Hou Bulai didn't know anything when asked, and he pushed the blame onto Feng Damazi. There was no cure for his death, so the case was left unresolved."

Yan Ruyu was speechless for a moment, and had to admit that what Huo Changhe said was the correct answer.

I continued reading in silence until I reached the last few lines of the last page.

"We agreed to meet tomorrow, at Shenyuan Temple?" Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised, "It seems that Hou Bulai is still useful."

"Just right, I'll take you into the trap."

Yaofeng Village robbed Jiang Yanmu and took two large carts of stuff. Feng Damazi had promised to give one thousand and two taels of silver notes to the person who delivered the message.

Let Hou Bulai handle this matter.

The next morning, Yan Ruyu met Hou Bulai again in the front hall.

In a short period of time, Hou Bulai looked much more haggard. He was already thin, and now he looked even more listless.

When he saw Yan Ruyu, he became nervous and scared, and his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Princess, I have confessed everything I know. I am not lying. Please spare my life."

"I promise that I will never do a bad thing again. I will not kill a single life, and I will not even step on an ant to death!"

Yan Ruyu sipped her tea slowly as she listened to him swearing in tears.

He was talking until his mouth was dry, and Yan Ruyu didn't even look at him.

Hou Bulai was so disappointed.

Just when he thought he had no hope of survival, Yan Ruyu put down her teacup and said slowly, "Hou Bulai, since you don't want to die, I'll give you a chance. It depends on whether you can seize it."

Hou Bulai straightened up his drooping back again: "Princess, please be merciful. If you have any instructions, just tell me. I will do my best."

"What did you write in the last few sentences of your confession yesterday?"

Hou Bulai's mind was in a mess now, and he hurried to recall what he had heard.

"Yes... it means that the mysterious man will meet with me..."

He kowtowed again and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will never see him again!"
