Huo Changhe and Xiao Chiye talked a lot, and most of them were about his grievances.

Although the Sixth Prince faced difficulties in the fight for the throne, helping him to find out the truth of the matter gave him more say than before.

If he wrote a letter back to the capital, the Sixth Prince would definitely help him with all his might.

Of course, he hoped to clear his name as soon as possible. He had been learning martial arts with his father since he was old enough to understand, and was taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic in the future. He did so when he grew up.

The Northwest is firmly defended, the people live in peace, and business is prosperous.

But suddenly one day, he was accused of having his own army and intending to rebel.

The whole family was exiled.

The journey was so difficult. If it weren't for Yan Ruyu, I'm afraid his family would be in danger.

How could there be such a good day as today?

Once the stigma is washed away, there is a possibility of being summoned back to the capital to meet the emperor. The same is true for the Sima family. Old Master Sima is no longer with us, but Uncle Sima is bound to come to the capital.

To be honest, Huo Changhe didn't want to return to Beijing.

What to do in Beijing? Beijing is prosperous, but even in a prosperous place, you still have to live in one house.

A happy and peaceful family together is better than anything else.

On one side is a lifetime of fame, on the other side is the present quiet life.

He was in a dilemma.

Now, my father's whereabouts are still unknown.

From the beginning till now, he never gave up. When he returned to Beijing with the silver ingots, he sent half of his secret guards to secretly search for his father's whereabouts.

Today it is today.

There were no clues, and he had never mentioned it to anyone else. Sometimes he wanted to talk to Yan Ruyu, but Yan Ruyu had so much to bear. She had been worried and tired all the way, and had never relaxed even after arriving in the northwest. How could he bear it?

Looking down at Yan Ruyu sleeping peacefully, Huo Changhe felt a tenderness in his heart.

It’s better not to let her know about these troubles. She has enough things to do recently.

The night passed quickly. When Yan Ruyu woke up, Huo Changhe had already gotten up, and Linlang and the boss were fighting in the yard.

She opened the window, and the fresh air outside rushed in with the warmth of early spring.

"Princess, you're awake," Linlang ran over excitedly, "The prince said he's going to the guest yard."

Yan Ruyu also guessed that Xiao Chiye would not be able to stay for too long and would leave tomorrow at the latest. They must have a lot to talk about.

If Xiao Chiye leaves again, who knows when they will meet again. Although Shenyou City is not far away from each other, as the commander-in-chief, he cannot leave at will. This is an iron rule.

Yan Ruyu washed up and ordered the meal to be served, as she also had things to do.

Just after finishing the meal, the abbot called and asked her when they could leave. She asked the abbot to wait for her at the door.

Prepare two baskets, fill them with snacks, candies and fruits, one for the abbot and the other for Governor Cao.

When she left the house, the abbot was already waiting in the car. He was leaving today, and Yinding and Beibei drove him to see him off. Originally, several people wanted to go, but they had other things to do, so they had to give up and said goodbye to him reluctantly at the door.

Starting from the palace, go to Cao's house first to pick up Governor Cao.

When Governor Cao received the news last night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. It was only after Mrs. Cao urged him again and again that he reluctantly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He woke up early in the morning, dressed neatly, and ate a hasty breakfast. Mrs. Cao also wanted to go with him, but Governor Cao thought it over and declined.

"Madam, it's not that your husband doesn't want you to go, it's just that this matter is different from the past. You see, the princess invited me to go because she was afraid that I would worry. She wanted me to see it with my own eyes so that I could feel at ease."

"Actually, I have nothing to worry about. I just want to take a look at how it works. I have no other intentions. If you go too, it will seem like we are greedy and don't trust others."

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she thought it made sense, so she gave up.

Yan Ruyu saw him at the gate of the mansion and asked, "Where is your wife? Why don't you come with us?"

"You don't know, Princess, my little grandson will be going back to Shencheng in two days, and Madam is busy preparing things for them. We trust Princess with the metallurgical matters, and Madam said it doesn't matter whether she goes or not."

Yan Ruyu understood, and she smiled and handed him the fruit basket without forcing him.

Governor Cao quickly accepted it with a smile on his face.

Three carriages headed straight for the manor.

It turned out that the manor was dilapidated and the surrounding area was desolate. Ever since Shen Huaixin's death, Yan Ruyu had been thinking about repairing it. She asked Xiang Guang to prepare some bricks and tiles and waited for the weather to warm up before starting the construction.

Now there are some construction materials placed on the open space outside.

Yan Ruyu looked out of the car window, thinking that this trip should not be in vain. She would ask Xiang Guang for a map of the place so that she could go back and plan it carefully.

Make this the first point.

Should be fine.

Xiang Guang was not informed in advance of this visit, and the people guarding in secret became alert when they saw the carriage approaching.

"Who is coming?"

Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain: "It's us."

"princess!"

"Open the door!"

The carriage drove in, and Governor Cao got off. He looked around and thought to himself that this place was really nice.

It is inconspicuous, spacious, and clean. Moreover, they are from the Zhennan Palace. The prince and princess are good at managing their subordinates. Unlike his subordinates, he only has Cui Chong who is capable.

However, everyone is feeling much better now and is full of energy.

Although not as smart and capable as others, he is obedient and sensible.

Governor Cao envied others while comforting himself.

I have been here before, but never walked around. This is my first time to take a deep look around.

Yan Ruyu knew that there was not much to see here as it had not been repaired yet. She also knew what they were most concerned about, so she took them to see the smelting first.

Xiang Guang heard this and hurried out to greet them.

Lead them inside to have a look.

I was busy repairing the smelting furnace a few days ago, and I just started to produce gold these days.

Everyone is busy.

Seeing the golden sand and the bright yellow gold, Governor Cao and the abbot couldn't stop smiling.

Governor Cao saw the future of Youcheng and felt confident;

The abbot wondered if he wanted to bring these back to the modern era, and whether they would be worth more money.

"This gold..." Governor Cao picked up a piece, "Why does it feel more beautiful than ordinary gold ingots?"

Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency has a good eye, that's right, I asked them to change the alchemy method, the gold smelted out is of higher purity, so it looks more beautiful."

Governor Cao was surprised and delighted: "The princess also knows metallurgy? I really admire her."

"I know a thing or two," Yan Ruyu handed a piece to the abbot.

The abbot took it with both hands and couldn't let it go. He thought to himself, seeing that Governor Cao looked so ignorant, what can Ruyu not do? This is nothing.

As long as the tools are there, the principles are understood, and the things made are good, then that is reasonable.

Thousands of years of civilization, evolution, and survival of the fittest are no joke.

The two were reluctant to leave and didn't want to leave for the time being. Yan Ruyu asked them to look first while she went outside for a walk.

With her around, Governor Cao felt embarrassed to look around or touch anything, or ask too many questions.

This also gives Governor Cao some space to answer questions and resolve doubts.

The smelter was at the easternmost side of the manor. She walked out, looked towards the light, and then followed.

Yan Ruyu turned around and looked at him: "No need to follow me, it's okay, go find a map of this place, including the surrounding area."

"Yes."
