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

Yan Ruyu walked into the courtyard and asked Linlang to let Lou Tingyu in.

"Is something wrong?"

Since moving here, except for two dinner parties, Lou Tingyu has rarely appeared in front of Yan Ruyu.

Others have a few friends here, but he is truly alone.

However, he has already gotten used to it.

People like them rarely make friends who are not of the same kind. Instead of being on guard and cautious everywhere, it is better for them to be alone.

During the banquet, he looked through the bustling crowd and saw Yan Ruyu sitting in the first seat.

She had a gentle smile and sat in the soft light, her whole person was peaceful and warm.

Her eyes are slightly curved and sparkling as if covered in honey.

The people around her were also very nice to her. The eldest lady looked at her with loving eyes, and the other women were full of admiration, as if what she said was the truth of nature.

As for Huo Changhe, Lou Tingyu had to admit that although this man had a cold face and was not very friendly to him, he truly loved Yan Ruyu.

Lou Tingyu had thought countless times during sleepless nights: If he could bring Yan Ruyu back to her family, would she still be able to live happily?

Lou Tingyu found it unlikely.

The clan has strict rules and relatively weak family affection. Especially since Yan Ruyu did not grow up in the family and her personality has already been formed, can she integrate well?

What's more, she was the one who was abandoned since childhood.

Relatives? Are the people in the clan her relatives, or just strangers with blood ties?

When this thought came to mind, Lou Tingyu was shocked himself.

He began to deny his own thoughts again. The rules of the tribe were set to make the tribe stronger and to be passed down from generation to generation.

What I did to Yan Ruyu was also for the good of the clan.

These... should all be understandable.

Lou Tingyu had secretly made up his mind that he could no longer indulge himself and be greedy for the warmth and kindness here.

Suppressing all the complicated emotions in his heart, he looked up and said to Yan Ruyu: "My injury is almost healed, I was thinking..."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Want to leave?"

Lou Tingyu nodded: "I've been out for too long, it's time to go back."

"Everyone except you died. Will they think you are dead too?"

These words were so direct and straightforward that Lou Tingyu was shocked.

"This... shouldn't happen. Besides, even if I do, I can explain the situation after I go back."

Yan Ruyu was silent. He paused for a moment and suddenly understood: "Don't worry, I won't tell you anything about you."

Yan Ruyu stroked the teacup gently, and said slowly: "If you don't tell me, how do you explain your disappearance during this period of time?"

"I can say that I was rescued by others and am recovering in someone else's home."

Yan Ruyu seemed to change the subject: "Have you ever been injured and had to stay outside during a mission before?"

"Yes, we have space, but we are not invincible."

"Then what did you tell me when you went back?"

"Just as I said."

"Is the person who saved you still alive?" Yan Ruyu asked.

She spoke at a moderate pace, steady and progressive, which made Lou Tingyu unconsciously relax his guard and follow her questions.

It was not until this sentence that I realized it.

Lou Tingyu pursed his lips tightly, his body was tense, and his eyes were slightly nervous with a hint of guilt.

No need to answer, Yan Ruyu already has the answer.

She put down the teacup and used some force, and the teacup made a crisp clinking sound.

"Who are you going to ask to kill me after you return?"

Lou Tingyu was startled and stood up immediately.

"NO, I have not."

Lou Tingyu subconsciously looked at Huo Changhe. Huo Changhe said nothing, looking at her disdainfully.

Like a sharp arrow, it pierced his heart fiercely.

His heart tightened and his tongue became a little stiff.

"No, miss..."

"Call me Princess," Huo Changhe said.

Lou Tingyu quickly changed her words: "Princess, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether he had it or not, but her impression of that family, which was not very good to begin with, became even worse.

Instead of expressing gratitude and repaying the people who rescued them, they turned around and killed them?

Just to protect the safety of their people?

Will the people who rescue them be able to discover their secrets? Not necessarily.

Just because of one possibility, perhaps no matter whether they are discovered or not, anyone who knows their whereabouts will die.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes and felt a chill in her heart.

This was inconsistent with what her grandfather had told her.

She has always believed that her ancestors have taken it as their responsibility to save people and the world. Even if it sounds ridiculous or beyond their capabilities, there has to be someone to be Yugong.

Instead of killing innocent people as Lou Tingyu said.

Lou Tingyu was silent for a moment. The atmosphere in the room was obviously not right, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Huo Changhe's gaze was as real as substance, making him feel uneasy.

He had no choice but to stay here temporarily.

"My Lord, Princess, I will take my leave first."

Huo Changhe didn't want to see him at all, and Yan Ruyu was also upset at this time.

Lou Tingyu said goodbye and turned to leave, but then stopped and said, "Princess, there is something I want to tell you. I don't know if I should tell you."

Huo Changhe glanced at him, and Lou Tingyu lowered his eyes to avoid him.

Yan Ruyu: "...you say."

"That new woman is a little unusual."

newcomer?

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and realized that the new arrival was Taohua.

"How to say?"

"I saw her and a little maid picking some peach blossoms. They said they brought them back from outside the mansion. There were seven branches in total, four long and three short."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "So what? Her name is Taohua, so what's wrong with picking some peach blossoms?"

Lou Tingyu was about to speak, but stopped. Yan Ruyu said, "Don't worry, just tell me the truth. I will tell whether it is right or wrong."

Lou Tingyu heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Peach wood is used to ward off evil spirits. Seven, four, and three all have different meanings in the formation."

"If she is someone who knows formations, she can use those peach blossoms to form a formation."

Yan Ruyu didn't understand any of this: "Can you form a battle formation?"

"can."

Huo Changhe asked: "Can you do it?"

Lou Tingyu choked up a little: "I...learned a little from the master of the family, and I know a little bit."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Okay, I understand, you go back first."

Lou Tingyu left, and Yan Ruyu continued to think along the lines of what he had just said.

Huo Changhe said: "The matter of the formation is not entirely false. This is different from the expression. I have encountered it before when I was in Shencheng."

Yan Ruyu heard this and smiled at him: "I thought that the prince would say that what Lou Tingyu said was all nonsense."

Huo Changhe was startled, then smiled and said, "No, even though I don't like him, I won't completely deny him."

"So, Your Majesty thinks what he said makes sense?"

Huo Changhe tapped his knees with his fingers: "If Taohua really knows some kind of formation, then the two men who died because of her, why did they die? I'm afraid we need to re-examine the cause."
