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

Yan Ruyu watched Doctor Cao sew up the last stitch. Sun Chuchu gritted his teeth and tried to hold on with a pale face.

I have to say, there are huge differences between looking at the picture and looking at the actual thing.

Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze and looked at what was taken out of Mrs. Zhao's stomach.

As she expected, it was a ball of paper.

The words on it are already blurred, but I can still barely make out one or two words.

Even if you can't see clearly, you can guess that someone threatened Mrs. Zhao and asked her to commit suicide, otherwise her whole family would be killed.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhao was coerced and forced to commit suicide by threatening the lives of her family members.

Yan Ruyu frowned and thought: The Red Lotus Sect first killed Shen Wenqi and then killed Mrs. Zhao's family. What was their intention?

Is it just to kill to silence her? But what could Mrs. Zhao know? She has been interrogated, but she didn't reveal any useful information.

If that's the case, why do you have to kill her?

Yan Ruyu always felt that there were other reasons behind this, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Princess, next time something like this happens, please call me," Doctor Cao was still unsatisfied and wanted to look somewhere else, but Yan Ruyu disagreed.

Yan Ruyu collected her thoughts and said, "Okay, go and do your work. Don't tell anyone else about this."

They both nodded seriously.

After seeing them off, Yan Ruyu took the note and went to see Huo Changhe.

Before I reached the front hall, I saw several yamen runners running towards me in a hurry.

"What happened?"

Several people quickly stopped and saluted.

"Greetings, Princess. We brothers were on patrol and encountered a hijacking incident in the downtown area. We have now brought the situation under control and have come to report this to you, my Lord."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled, feeling that there were a lot of things going on today.

"Who was kidnapped? Why? For money?"

"No, it's for love," a yamen runner stayed behind to explain, while the others went to reply.

Yan Ruyu asked as she walked towards the front hall: "For love?"

"It was a man who kidnapped a woman and said he wanted her to marry him, but the woman didn't seem to be willing and kept crying."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself what was going on. He liked someone and yet he kidnapped her. Was it possible to force her like that?

There really is something for everyone.

When he arrived at the front hall, the bailiff was reporting the matter in detail. Governor Cao was so angry that he was ashamed.

What a mess this is all day long. Can't people live in peace and tranquility under his rule?

There have to be these inexplicable things happening.

"Let that guy, Cui Chong, go and take a look," Governor Cao was really embarrassed, especially in front of Huo Changhe.

He had previously promised to be a good official, but he always got slapped in the face.

"Brother Cui is not here," the yamen runner said, "He went to the old city."

Governor Cao then remembered that, indeed, it was he who sent the person.

"Who is it? Find someone who is good at speaking and arguing," Huo Changhe gave advice to Governor Cao, "Calm him down first. There's no need to make a big fuss about this kind of thing, otherwise it's easier to alarm people."

Yan Ruyu stepped in and agreed, "That's true. Maybe this person didn't mean to hurt anyone, but out of excitement and fear, he might hurt someone."

"The best strategy is to find someone to chat with, attract him to the front, and then find someone to quietly subdue him from behind."

Governor Cao nodded and said quickly, "Why don't you do as the prince and princess say?"

Huo Changhe stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave first. Governor Cao is busy now."

Governor Cao sighed and could only nod in agreement.

He had wanted to talk to Yan Ruyu about the renovation of the old city, but he missed such a rare opportunity.

Yan Ruyu handed the note to Huo Changhe and took out the prepared silver bill from the space.

"Sir," Yan Ruyu handed him the banknote, "I have already read the record book that was sent over before. It is very detailed. Everyone has worked hard."

"Fortunately, our efforts paid off. We can continue to move forward to the next stage. You can use these banknotes as starting money."

Governor Cao was stunned and took it with trembling hands.

He himself couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous.

Yan Ruyu handed over the plan again: "It's clearly written there how to use the money and how to pay the compensation. Just follow what's written in the plan."

"You can take a look first. If you don't understand something, you can come to the palace to ask at any time. Make sure you understand it first, then do it."

Governor Cao held the banknote in one hand and the plan in the other, his mouth pursed and he almost cried.

"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess. I originally wanted to..."

He was so excited that he was speechless.

Yan Ruyu smiled and handed him a red fruit. "You are welcome, sir. This is the first time in Youcheng, and it is of utmost importance. We must make a good start. I am also new to Youcheng. If you have any questions, let's discuss them together."

Governor Cao was speechless and could only nod repeatedly.

After sending Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu out of the mansion and watching the yamen runners deal with the emergency, Governor Cao returned to his study while crying.

The princess said that this is just the beginning. If this matter is handled well, there will be follow-up.

Youcheng will get better and better under his governance.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe got on the carriage and left the governor's mansion.

Huo Changhe looked at the blurred words, holding the hidden weapon, with a grim tone.

"The Red Lotus Sect is a little too arrogant."

Yan Ruyu took the hidden weapon, frowned and said nothing.

Huo Changhe saw her confusion and whispered, "Do you think that since it's an assassination, you shouldn't use such a hidden weapon with obvious markings?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, this is indeed my idea, but I also feel that an organization like this may have different ideas from ordinary people, at least not the same as Mr. Mo and his people. Mr. Mo is more secretive. Even though he is arrogant, he will not easily reveal himself before the moment to reveal the mystery."

"But this kind of religion probably requires its followers to be loyal and is eager to expand its influence externally. It doesn't want to be silent, but to make a name for itself."

Huo Changhe pointed his finger at the petal pattern on the hidden weapon.

"That's right. The Red Lotus Cult has always acted arrogantly. They never tried to hide it. At first, we thought they were a bunch of rabble, but later they grew rapidly and became a disaster, so we ordered a siege."

"I just didn't expect that Shen Wenqi actually held back and lied about military intelligence, failing to completely wipe them out. How despicable!"

Yan Ruyu comforted him, "Fortunately, they have reappeared now. As long as we catch them, we will catch them all in one fell swoop. This time, we will completely wipe them out."

As the two were talking, they heard a commotion ahead and the carriage stopped moving.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, there are a lot of people ahead, the road is blocked, and there are also yamen runners."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Could this be the scene of the kidnapping that the yamen runners just mentioned?"

Huo Changhe lifted the car curtain and looked out, just in time to see the man holding the hostage turned around, and the woman he held hostage also turned towards him.

"is her?"
