Yan Ruyu did not sleep well in Shenyuan Temple and woke up before dawn the next morning.

She didn't open her eyes and didn't wake up Huo Changhe. She let him rest for a while as he was tired from running around these days.

Let your consciousness enter the space, close your eyes and meditate for a while, you will feel refreshed.

Now that Huo Changhe is back, she feels much more at ease. Although she can handle it herself, Yan Ruyu can't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

We will leave the temple and return to the city later. Things here will come to an end for the time being, and those who need to evacuate will do so one after another.

There are relatively few people available around Huo Changhe now. There has been no movement at the temple for such a long time, so it must have been abandoned by Mr. Mo.

In this case, let's not waste manpower on this.

She thought that it would be a good idea to recruit soldiers and train her own talents as soon as possible.

Although the city defender Li Mingcheng was grateful to the palace and Governor Cao was also loyal, they were not in control of the situation.

Yan Ruyu knew that she had a problem, which was that she needed endless sense of security, and these things had to be under her control.

Fortunately, the palace is now stable and spring will soon arrive. The affairs of the palace and these military and political affairs will be handed over to Huo Changhe.

She had to hurry up and do other things. The renovation of the old city was a major project, which would be carried out by Governor Cao. She would have time to walk around and see the land of Youcheng.

Wherever it is suitable for farming and integration, wherever it is suitable for infrastructure construction, build some necessary facilities.

It would be better to have a detailed and standard map for these. The one in the abbot’s space is very good. Unfortunately, the abbot can neither draw nor write.

Blind.

Just as he was thinking, the space shook and the abbot called.

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and picked up the phone. She was about to ask the abbot about the situation when the abbot shouted anxiously, "Ruyu, something bad has happened at the manor."

Yan Ruyu's heart sank, thinking that there was really no peace for the day, and that if one thing was solved, another would arise.

"What happened? A mining accident?"

The abbot hesitated for a moment and said, "No... Didn't the mine accident also crush me inside? Why don't you hope for my well-being? Our mine is fine."

"It was Taohua. Taohua's fiancé was killed!"

Yan Ruyu thought about it again and remembered who Taohua was. She was the woman who was captured with the monk and later begged Yan Ruyu to stay on the farm.

A few days ago, the abbot said that good things might be about to happen.

"Who killed him?" Yan Ruyu was surprised.

"He was also a tenant farmer. I don't know why he fell in love with Taohua. During an argument, he beat Taohua's former fiancé to death and ran away with Taohua."

Yan Ruyu: “…” What kind of drama is this?

The abbot sighed, "It's pitiful for the young man's parents. They cried like a tearful person and reported it to the authorities. However, the man ran away a long time ago. Now we are trying to catch him, but we don't know if we can catch him."

"Then you should be more careful. The desperadoes might do something. If things at the mine don't work, just stop for two days. There's a murder case, so there should be a lot of people coming and going."

"That's right, that makes sense," the abbot agreed. "Then I'll ask everyone to stop working for a while."

"It's just right that you should have a good rest for two days. I'll ask Beibei and the others to pick you up. We've moved to the palace and left a yard for you to stay in. Come back and live there."

The abbot was pleasantly surprised: "Okay, Ruyu, it's you who thinks of me in everything. Then you let them come. I'll clean up and send the things in the space to the kitchen. Let everyone rest for two days and eat something good to replenish themselves."

After the conversation ended, Yan Ruyu noticed that Huo Changhe had also woken up, and left the space with a few fruits.

"Good morning, Your Majesty," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, opening her eyes.

Huo Changhe came forward, but was unexpectedly blocked in the mouth by the fruit in Yan Ruyu's hand.

Dumbfounding.

"Hurry up and get up. Let's go back to the city. We have a lot to do today. The abbot will be back soon. Let Beibei and the others pick him up."

The two of them got up quickly and had breakfast in the temple. Huo Changhe went to arrange the withdrawal of the personnel, while Yan Ruyu packed up her things, including those of the Red Lotus Sect, and put them into the space to study them further.

The Jiang sisters also came to pay their respects. When they heard that Yan Ruyu was leaving and that things here were settled, they had nothing to linger for, so they returned to the city together.

Jiang Ruhuan sighed: "I was a little nervous when I came here, not knowing what the result would be. But the result came out overnight, and when I left, I felt completely different."

Jiang Tangli hugged her arms and said, "Third sister, there's no need to be sad for that kind of person. It's not worth it."

Jiang Ruhuan smiled faintly: "I won't feel sad for him, I just feel lucky."

"Lucky?" Jiang Tangli was puzzled.

Jiang Ruhuan bowed to Yan Ruyu and said, "It must be because of my good deeds that I was able to see the princess in Youcheng and helped me recognize his true face. I was lucky enough to escape danger. Otherwise... I would have lost my life sooner or later."

"Ruhuan has no other request, she only wishes to follow you and work for you, please grant me your wish!"

She had heard about Madam Song and the ladies of the Huo family. They had experienced the fire of exile but did not fall. Instead, they lived out their own glory, all because of the princess.

Even Princess Mingzhao is the same.

The princess is the light that illuminates everyone’s bleak life, helping them to escape from the shadows and create a wonderful self out of it.

If those women can do it, Jiang Ruhuan believes that she can do it too.

Yan Ruyu helped her up: "Miss, go back first and rest for a few days. I will invite you to the mansion in two days. I have a plan and many things that need help."

Jiang Ruhuan was overjoyed and couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Thank you, Princess. Ruhuan will definitely fulfill your mission."

Jiang Tangli was also overjoyed: "I, I want to participate too."

After the matter was settled, the two of them went back to pack their things and waited for Yan Ruyu to return to the city together.

Huo Changhe arranged everything, and Yan Ruyu asked Beibei and Fengshao to drive directly to pick up the abbot. When the two heard that the abbot was coming back, they were very happy and drove away in a flash.

The team returned to the city in a mighty manner, and the Jiang sisters returned to the Jiang Mansion.

Now that Shen Wenqi is dead, everyone in the Jiang family can breathe a sigh of relief and no longer need to be on high alert.

Before the carriage reached the palace, it was stopped by Governor Cao's carriage.

Governor Cao quickly walked to the window and said, "Princess, your humble servant..."

Huo Changhe lifted the carriage curtain: "Cao, the governor."

"Your Highness is back?" Governor Cao was pleasantly surprised, but his eyebrows immediately dropped again. "Your Highness, Princess, I have failed in my duties and a murder has occurred. A family outside the city was massacred, and even the children were not spared."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "Who are the deceased? Who has such a big grudge against them?"

Governor Cao pursed his lips and said, "Yes... they are Mrs. Zhao's family."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows, and Governor Cao nodded: "The coroner has gone to perform an autopsy, and there should be results soon."

At this point, Song Ping came riding over on horseback, dismounted from his horse and saluted beside the carriage.

"My Lord, Princess, Mrs. Zhao has hanged herself!"
