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

The woman was brought up, a little panicked but barely able to remain calm.

Zhao Yan stepped forward and replied in a low voice.

"Princess, I and Brother Beibei went to Huatian Lane and watched for half an hour. No one else came in or out. This woman was carrying a bag and seemed to be going out, so I caught her."

Zhao Yan had a photographic memory and described the scene in the house at that time.

"Besides her, there was a maid, a woman servant, and a coachman in the house. All three said they hadn't seen Qiu Ke Shi for a while."

"The furnishings in the room are nice. You can tell that money has been spent on it. There are several paintings by famous artists, and there is a bookshelf with many books on it."

"If the princess doesn't have time to read it, I'll go back and write down the title of the book."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Don't bother, I'll go check it out later."

"Yes."

Zhao Yan stepped back and Yan Ruyu asked the woman to come forward.

She looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She was not stunningly beautiful, but she was definitely a beauty, with slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a small mouth and red lips. She had a very unique classical beauty.

She lowered her eyes and greeted: "Greetings, Princess."

Yan Ruyu was not surprised: "Since you know this princess, you should know why I asked you to come here."

The woman knelt down, her eyes reddening uncontrollably: "Princess, Qiu Lang treated me well. Now that he is dead, I... I don't want to live anymore, but I still want to do one last thing for him."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that people who commit suicide will not be able to reincarnate, so I thought of going to the nunnery outside the city and chanting sutras for him for 49 days to help his soul transcend and get rid of the disaster as soon as possible."

This answer surprised Yan Ruyu.

He turned his gaze and looked at Bei Bei. Bei Bei opened her bag, which contained only a few sets of clothes and a few scriptures. There was really nothing else, not to mention gold, silver, or jewelry, not even any banknotes.

It seems that he really plans to go to the nunnery outside the city.

Yan Ruyu asked again: "It's rare that you are so sincere. If you just answer a few questions, I will let you go."

The woman kowtowed and said, "Princess, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Yan Ruyu asked, "You have followed Qiu Keshi for a long time, so you should be very familiar with him. Do you know if he has any obvious characteristics? For example, birthmarks or moles."

The woman thought for a while: "No birthmark... but there is a mole."

She raised her arm and tapped her elbow: "Right here, oh, right..."

Her face turned red, she felt a little embarrassed, and her voice lowered: "There is also one to the left of my belly button."

This is a secret place, and only people with whom you have a close relationship will know about it.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

The woman thought for a moment and said, "His arm was once injured when he fell from a startled horse. However, the injury was on the bone and could not be seen on the surface. There is a small triangular burn scar on the inside of the elbow of that arm."

"I once asked him how he got the scar, and he said it was from an accidental injury when he was a kid."

There is nothing wrong with this. It is common for boys to be naughty and get hurt when they are young.

After the woman finished speaking, she thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "Otherwise... I can't remember."

"How is his relationship with his father?"

The woman pursed her lips and said, "They have a good relationship with each other. He is a filial man. If not for this... I wouldn't have been raised outside. I would have been married back home long ago."

Yan Ruyu's eyes moved slightly, and she didn't quite agree with this.

Had she been married long ago? If she had been married, her life might not have been as good as it is now.

"But I don't blame Mr. Qiu. I only blame myself for being deeply in love with Qiu Lang."

Yan Ruyu: “…” She couldn’t listen to a single word of this love-brained talk.

"Before he was arrested this time, did he meet you? Or did he have any words to tell you?"

When the woman heard this, her eyes turned red again and she shook her head: "No, maybe because things were in a hurry, he didn't have time to leave. He didn't even say a word to me. I didn't even see him once, and then... He was fine a few days ago, but now he is gone and I am left alone."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Since you have said everything you need to say, you can go now."

The woman was startled, surprised and delighted: "Really? Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu asked Beibei to see her off and returned the bag to her. She took her things and went out of the city.

Beibei turned around and went into the governor's mansion to see Yan Ruyu and handed her something.

"Master, this is from her bag."

A handkerchief embroidered with a small flower, it must belong to this woman.

Yan Ruyu nodded, and Governor Cao also came out from the side door.

Only then did he understand why Yan Ruyu didn't let him listen here. He was a grown man and was wearing an official uniform, so the young lady might not be willing to tell the truth.

"Princess, I will go and retest immediately to see if there are any of the characteristics she described."

"it is good."

Yan Ruyu only remembered the wounds and the like, and didn't remember the tiny moles and scars so clearly.

She held the handkerchief in her hand and pondered, then went back and gave it to the abbot, asking him to see where the woman had gone and whether she had really gone to a nunnery.

If Qiu Keshi was not dead, he would have contacted her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Governor Cao came back.

"Princess, the minute features on the corpse are exactly the same as what the woman described."

Yan Ruyu couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or something else. When she heard that it was really the Qiuke Stone, she inexplicably felt that it was not believable.

But now, we have to admit it.

There is no disguise, just a human skin mask, the appearance is the same, and the details match.

There are no two people in the world who are exactly the same.

If it really was Qiu Ke Shi, then there must be other reasons why he suddenly decided to die.

For example, if you are threatened, you have to die.

Or if someone catches you with some evidence, it would be more painful to survive than to die.

In fact, I was forced by others.

Could it be Lu Peng?

But according to the secret guards who were following him, Qiu Keshi did not have enough time to see Lu Peng after the matter was exposed.

Yan Ruyu was also puzzled by this. She had seen Qiu Keshi appear on the street and at Baisheng Building with her own eyes, and watched him retreat from Baisheng Building.

The guards followed him to the house, and Qiu Keshi returned home. He had no time to see Lu Peng until he was caught.

Yan Ruyu stood up and said, "Sir, if that's the case, then tomorrow morning, send someone to notify the Qiu family and ask them to come and claim the body."

If nothing can be found out, it is useless to keep him there. It is better to hand him over to the Qiu family. Maybe they can find some clues.

Governor Cao nodded, then hesitated.

Yan Ruyu saw that he seemed to have something to say.

"Sir, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Governor Cao cleared his throat and said, "Princess, I am just... guessing. I always feel that Mr. Qiu's reaction and his sadness are not genuine."

"So, could it be possible that... for example, Master Qiu discovered something?"
