Yan Ruyu remained calm on the surface.

"The root of love has not been solved, don't you know?"

She asked back, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Now that you've been arrested, your Mr. Mo doesn't even dare to show his face, like a rat crossing the street. How dare you still have the face to speak so shamelessly here?"

Taohua pursed her lips and said, "I lost, but that's because I'm incompetent, but it doesn't mean the same for you, sir."

"One day, sir, you will win!"

Yan Ruyu was too lazy to listen to her talk anymore, so she waved her hand and ordered, "Yinding, send him to the governor's mansion and tell Governor Cao that the case can be closed."

"Yes."

Yinding came in, grabbed the peach blossom and walked out.

Taohua did not struggle and dragged herself for a few meters. Yinding suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around to look.

"My Lord, Princess, she's dead!"

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and looked at the peach blossoms.

Her head hung limply and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

Huo Changhe said in a deep voice: "Bury it."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the courtyard and caught Taohua tonight, finally resolving an internal worry.

But Yan Ruyu was still not reassured.

"I'll go to the farm tomorrow."

According to Taohua, there should be someone of hers on the farm. Whether they are really her subordinates or bewitched by her needs careful investigation.

Huo Changhe knew that he couldn't stop her, so he nodded and agreed: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

The next morning, after saying goodbye to the eldest lady, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe took Lou Tingyu to the farm.

When she arrived at the farm, Yan Ruyu didn't go anywhere else but went directly to the mine.

It was quiet all around, with many people watching in the dark.

When he saw Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe coming, he appeared to greet them.

The people who were on guard included those from the royal palace, who were arranged by Song Ping, and those from the governor's palace, who were arranged by Cui Chong.

The two sides cooperated happily. Not only was there no conflict at all, but they also had a good impression of each other.

Huo Changhe looked at them and said, "Why do you look a little fatter?"

It's really strange. Guarding here is a tough job, working day and night, and having to change shifts. Moreover, the conditions on the farm are definitely not as good as those in the mansion.

Huo Changhe often reminded Song Ping not to let one group of people keep an eye on things all the time, but to change them from time to time.

But no matter how you look at them, they don't look haggard or tired.

And fatter!

"Your Highness, please forgive me for making fun of you. I am indeed a little fatter."

"The food here is great. It's delicious. The vegetables are fresh, the fish is fresh, the meat is plump, and even the water is sweet."

Huo Changhe snorted in his heart, it was really exaggerated.

Yan Ruyu knew that what they said was not exaggerating at all.

How could it be bad? That was something that grew in the abbot's space, and it would be worth a fortune outside.

"How is the abbot? Where is he?"

"My princess, the abbot is in the mine. He never shirks his responsibilities and is always at the mine. The big yellow fox follows him and is very happy."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

She nodded and walked quickly inside. No matter what, she had to see with her own eyes that the abbot was okay.

The light in the mine is not dim. There are braziers and solar lamps on the mountain walls.

Yan Ruyu had just come in and before she could say anything, she heard the abbot's hearty laughter.

"Hey? This one, oh my god, I finally dug up some nugget gold, haha!"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Judging from the sound, everything is indeed fine.

She was no longer in a hurry and walked inside. A person came out laughing. He was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket and had a light on his head, shining on his white teeth.

"Ruyu?" The abbot stopped and was about to show off, but when he saw Huo Changhe was also making progress, he restrained himself a little, "Princess, how come you have time to come here?"

Yan Ruyu took a look at what he held in his hand, a golden piece, just the size of his palm.

The abbot smiled happily and handed it to her: "Look, this is the nugget gold I just dug up. It's so rare. I've been digging for so long and only found a piece like this."

Gold mines do not contain gold when dug out, but gold sand that needs to be refined.

This kind of gold, called nugget gold, is indeed rare.

Seeing Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, the abbot cleared his throat and said, "Well, you're not going to regret it, are you?"

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Old money-grubber, there is no regret, whatever you dig up is yours."

The abbot then smiled happily again: "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Your Majesty."

Huo Changhe couldn't help laughing: "The abbot should really thank the princess for catching Taohua and hearing her say that the situation on the farm had changed and that there were her people. The princess was worried about you, so she came here early."

The abbot finally understood what was going on and was touched: "Oh, how can you say that? She is a liar. Don't believe her. I am fine."

"A few people did get sick yesterday, but I used..." He stopped talking, "the fruit you gave me to make some juice for them, and they all got better after drinking it."

"I see."

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, pack up and come out with me."

The abbot looked at the gold left and right, and was reluctant to let it go. He went outside and put it in his pocket for fear of being seen by others.

When the people at the farm heard that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had arrived, they were very happy. The manager immediately made arrangements to prepare lunch so that they could have a good meal.

Yan Ruyu agreed and secretly took Lou Tingyu to check out the place where Taohua had lived, her "fiancé's" home, and the place where she had worked.

Lou Tingyu followed Yan Ruyu silently to check, and sure enough, they found the Peach Blossom Evil in the home of their "fiancé".

"The peach blossoms had not yet bloomed at that time," Lou Tingyu said, "She used dry medicine and added cinnabar, which made it more powerful. No wonder the man died."

Yan Ruyu pinched the dried peach blossoms and sighed softly: "Not only one died, but both died."

Lou Tingyu secretly took a breath: "This woman is really vicious."

Yan Ruyu said nothing, turned around and walked out.

Halfway through the journey, he asked again, "Have you heard of the Saint?"

Lou Tingyu was stunned: "Miss, you mean..."

Yan Ruyu glanced at him, and he quickly changed his words: "What do you mean, Princess?"

"What you heard is what it is."

Lou Tingyu lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing him like this, Yan Ruyu felt that he should know.

"Tell it like it is."

Lou Tingyu cleared his throat: "Actually...the one in the clan is the Saint."

Yan Ruyu paused and turned back in surprise: "What?"

Yan Ruyu's heart was pounding. This result really surprised her. She thought that the person who was in collusion with Mr. Mo must be a vicious person. He could not be a good person to kill the secret guards in that way.

She had thought of many possibilities, but this was the only one she had never thought of.

She was a little distracted for a moment, and after calming down for a moment, she asked, "You mean, the Saint is the same as you?"

Lou Tingyu glanced at her and lowered his head again.

The young lady was unwilling to admit that she was a member of the clan.

It seems that he still has some grudges about what happened in the past.

Who wouldn't have this experience? I was exchanged at birth, stolen away, and separated from my family.

They have not been recognized to this day.
