After drinking a pot of tea, Yan Ruyu asked Huo Changhe to leave first.

Huo Changhe wondered: "You won't come with me?"

Yan Ruyu smiled: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? My current identity is not your princess, but the wife of a grain merchant. People outside are still watching, and I have to wait for them to come and talk to me about business."

Huo Changhe smiled fondly and let her play with him: "Okay, I'll go out first, I'll be not far away, don't worry."

"Don't worry about me. I met the shopkeeper of Qian's Bookstore when I came here. Why don't you, Your Majesty, go over there and wait."

Huo Changhe hesitated for a moment: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

He stood up and went out through the gate, turning a blind eye to the surveillance around him.

As soon as he left, the abbot came in from outside, took a few sips of tea and said, "What should we do next?"

"Of course, wait until the fish takes the bait," Yan Ruyu twisted a piece of snack, "Their people will never give up."

The abbot's eyes were shining and he was eager to try: "Okay, I will listen to you and wait for them to come."

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the abbot couldn't sit still and asked, "Why aren't you here yet?"

Yan Ruyu hummed: "Coward, let's go."

The abbot followed her, and when he left the teahouse and was about to get into the carriage, several people gathered around him.

A trace of disdain flashed across Yan Ruyu's face behind her hat. She stood behind the abbot and gave him a gentle push.

The abbot cleared his throat and said with a Jiangnan accent: "What do you want to do?"

The leader smiled and clasped his fists: "Don't panic, old man. I don't mean any harm. There is something that our head wants to discuss with you."

He was talking about discussing, but his expression showed no intention of discussing at all. He pointed sideways at the carriage they prepared: "You two, please come."

Linlang held the whip and her eyes widened.

Yan Ruyu coughed slightly, and Linlang stepped aside.

"I'm not in good health, so let's take our own car."

"Don't worry, madam, our car is not bad, and the heater is in the car. Please keep it so that my wife won't be wronged."

The man glanced at Linlang and said, "Your carriage... just follow it." As long as this kid can keep up.

Now Linlang's face was dark, she was wearing a boy's cotton coat and trousers, and with fierce eyes, she looked like a tomboy.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay."

As soon as she got on the carriage, Yan Ruyu paused slightly, then sat in as if nothing had happened, followed closely by the abbot.

The curtains were lowered, the carriage started to move, and the wheels rolled forward.

Yan Ruyu glanced at the incense burner on the table, and the abbot pinched his nose: "What does this smell like?"

Now they all use incense made by Huo Zhongmao, which is very picky to the nose. This low-quality incense makes you uncomfortable when you smell it.

"A fragrance that can make us lose our ability to resist," Yan Ruyu poured some water into it, "similar to Ruanjin Powder."

The abbot's eyes widened and he covered his hands tighter: "These dirty things can only use some damaging moves."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "You are right, Shen Huaixin is indeed not a good person, but based on the prince's understanding of him, this person is petty and vain, and his use should be a conspiracy in the art of war. Ordinarily, he should not use such methods. means."

The abbot was confused: "What do you mean?"

"It means that Shen Huaixin didn't suddenly change his gender. There should be someone behind the scenes who helped him or gave him advice."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the incense burner: "These things should be given by that person."

The abbot hissed: "Could it be that Mr. Mo?"

Yan Ruyu said nothing, picked up the lid of the incense burner and rubbed it with her fingers for a moment: "It doesn't look like it."

“How come you see?”

"We have only played against Mr. Mo once or twice. Although we don't know his true face, we can still feel some of his personality traits and behavior."

"He pays attention to perfection and refinement in everything, from the material of his clothes to the planning of his operations. Everything is meticulous."

Yan Ruyu put the lid of the incense burner back: "He doesn't know how to use this kind of rough incense."

The abbot let out a breath and said, "That's okay. Actually, I'm a little afraid of that guy. He's mysterious, he doesn't know where he's coming from, and he's sneaky."

He glanced outside: "Our carriage is missing."

Yan Ruyu nodded, not surprised: "It's not surprising. Since they intercepted us halfway, they naturally wouldn't let anyone follow us. Otherwise, why would they ask us to change carriages? It would be unnecessary."

"Then Linlang..."

"She's following," Yan Ruyu said firmly, "Don't worry."

The abbot looked out from the gap and saw that the snow here would not melt until spring. The wheels stirred up white snow mist, which exploded behind the car, forming layers of clouds, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

The scenery outside the window flew past, moving backwards like a shooting star, so fast that it was dazzling.

The abbot whispered: "We are leaving the city."

"Yeah," Yan Ruyu was still not surprised.

"Have you thought of it?" the abbot was surprised, "Then where will we be taken?"

"Of course it's Shen Huaixin's villa, or manor, or something like that. He has to show us both kindness and power to let us know that he is a more suitable choice than King Zhennan."

After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, the carriage slowed down and stopped slowly.

"Boy, get out of the car!"

The abbot got out of the car first and helped Yan Ruyu down. The two of them turned to look, covered in silver makeup. In front of them was a manor with green pines and cypresses on both sides. The white snow reflected a little green, and the sunlight reflected the white snow, like dots of gold.

Behind the cedars and green cypresses are two black doors. On the door is a black plaque with three large gilt characters: Old Friend Love.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, the name seemed elegant and had a sense of story.

It seems to be a wealthy place, but I don't know if there is a warehouse or if there is a lot of treasure.

"You two, please."

The abbot was also confused and a little panicked, but at this time in front of others, he was an elder and Yan Ruyu's uncle, so he had to put on airs.

Shen Mo entered the door and saw a manor, with green mountains in the distance, pavilions and pavilions, gurgling water nearby and elegant small bridges.

Compared with Shen Huaixin's city guard palace, it was more magnificent and wealthy.

Yan Ruyu sneered in her heart, Shen Huaixin is really good at it. There are mansions in the city and manors outside the city. They are luxurious inside and out.

Arriving at a hall, there was already a person sitting in the room. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. His black eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes were also slightly raised. He was sitting at the front seat and was sipping tea.

Both Yan Ruyu and the abbot recognized it, no doubt it was Shen Huaixin.

The grain supervisor stood in front of the hall door, looked at the abbot and Yan Ruyu, confirmed that it was the two of them, and turned back to report to Shen Huaixin.

After Shen Huaixin sipped the tea, he waved his hand: "Let them come in."

The abbot was in front and Yan Ruyu was behind. They were led into the house.

The grain supervisor said from the side: "You two, this is the protector of Youcheng, Mr. Shen, please come forward and meet your Excellency!"

The abbot said in his heart, have you seen him before? Just let me see you as a gift? I follow the King of Zhennan every day, what kind of ceremony do I have to give you when I come here?

It is even impossible for Yan Ruyu to meet him.
