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

Yan Ruyu was just about to hear Huo Changhe say that Zhao Yan came by himself.

"What's the matter?"

"Replying to the princess, I was keeping an eye on Lu Si's family. Lu Si has also returned home and everything seems normal."

Yan Ruyu remained calm and waited for him to continue.

"But there is one thing that I find a little... strange."

He was a little nervous, and Yan Ruyu slowed down her speech: "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say, it doesn't matter if you're wrong."

Zhao Yan calmed down and said, "Lü Si's family is very happy to have him back home. His little daughter is especially happy. She ran out to ask him to hold her. He loves his daughter very much and held her and spun her around several times."

"The love between father and daughter is deep, and it should be like this," Yan Ruyu said.

"I think so too. However, since he loves his daughter, he should also cherish the wife who gave birth to his daughter."

"But from my perspective, he and his wife don't seem to be very close, or rather, they are only close on the surface."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tell me about it."

Zhao Yan blushed, a little embarrassed: "Princess, you don't know, I lost my mother when I was young, and my father remarried soon, so I also have a stepmother, so I have been able to read people's faces and observe the subtleties since I was a child."

He laughed at himself and said, "I have to watch it, otherwise I might get beaten."

Yan Ruyu nodded, understanding.

Needless to say, the sadness in the heart can be imagined just by listening to the relationship.

Zhao Yan changed the subject and said, "So, I can't describe the strange feeling I have, but when I saw them as a couple, I felt something was wrong. They had too much respect for each other, but not enough affection, and yet they had to pretend to be affectionate."

"It is not uncommon for a couple to become unhappy and resentful. If a man has a little money, he will think about taking a concubine. Although Lu Si is a butcher, his family lives a good life."

Huo Changhe said expressionlessly: "Not all men want to take concubines when they have some money."

Zhao Yan: “…” I said the wrong thing.

Yan Ruyu: “???” Your Majesty, what is your focus?

"Go on," Yan Ruyu brought the subject back.

Zhao Yan quickly said, "I asked around about their relationship and heard that during the initial period of Lu Si's illness, his wife took very good care of him."

"But later she became seriously ill, and for a while she took her daughter back to her parents' home. It was only after Lu Si recovered that she brought them back."

Huo Changhe said calmly, "Maybe it was because Lu Si was seriously ill and his wife thought he was going to die, so she left him. But he didn't die and recovered. She returned to the Lu family. Maybe she felt guilty or embarrassed. Anyway, it was impossible for them to restore their previous feelings."

When such a disaster strikes, how can the rift left by the other side, which only cares about itself, be easily repaired?

Yan Ruyu agreed with Huo Changhe's statement: "This kind of knot is indeed very difficult to untie."

Zhao Yan pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"If you have a different opinion, just say it directly."

Zhao Yan bowed his head and said, "I thought that since the couple's concern was about Lu Si's illness, I went to the pharmacy where Lu Si was treated and found the doctor who treated him at that time."

A smile flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes. Not bad, he was quite smart and had used his brain to think of this.

"What's the result? It's been a long time and the doctor is very busy. Will he tell you?"

"I didn't ask directly because I thought he wouldn't tell me if I asked him, and he might even get suspicious. So I said my father had the same disease as Lu Si."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly, and Huo Changhe raised the corner of his mouth.

"The doctor said that Lu Si had lung disease and was difficult to cure. He also prescribed several prescriptions and took a lot of medicine for Lu Si, but he couldn't cure Lu Si. I was surprised and said, but Lu Si got better. The doctor looked unhappy and said that Lu Si was not cured by him. He thought Lu Si was incurable at the time, so he didn't go again."

Yan Ruyu sensed something was wrong: "He's right. If Lu Si really has lung disease and it's not a misdiagnosis, it's not that easy to think it through."

Medical care is underdeveloped at this time. Although traditional Chinese medicine is miraculous and unique, it is rare to bring a person back to life in a short period of time.

Moreover, according to what the doctor said, no doctor visited the Lu family later on. How could Lu Si recover without any medical treatment or medicine?

Yan Ruyu was filled with doubts.

"I feel the same way, so I would like to ask the doctor if he can take a look at the prescription that was given to Lu Si at that time."

Huo Changhe asked: "Will he let you see it? That's something you have to pay to see."

"Of course he didn't want to. I gave him a little money, but he only took a look and said he didn't want it. At that time, he said it was for his father's sake, and he cried, so he agreed."

"What can you tell from just one look?" Yan Ruyu asked, "Do you know anything about medicine?"

"I don't understand," Zhao Yan smiled embarrassedly, "but I have a little skill, I can remember everything I see."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "You come with me, the princess."

Back in the yard, Yan Ruyu picked up the pen and said, "Go ahead."

Without hesitation, Zhao Yan listed a dozen Chinese medicinal names, which turned out to be a prescription.

After saying that, Yan Ruyu looked carefully.

Huo Changhe asked: "How?"

"It is indeed a good prescription for treating lung diseases, and it contains two powerful medicines. This shows that this doctor is not just famous for nothing. In addition, Lu Si's condition at that time was indeed very serious."

Huo Changhe's expression darkened. "That's strange. How did he come back to life and still be so energetic? When we caught him, his pulse was strong and his complexion was good. He didn't show any signs of weakness at all."

At this point, Huo Changhe asked Zhao Yan: "Have you found out if he can ride a horse?"

Zhao Yan was stunned: "Riding a horse? I don't think you can do that."

"Because other people said that when he went to buy pigs or when someone asked him to slaughter pigs, he would push the pigs on a flatbed cart. It was also said that a few months before his wedding, he encountered a frightened horse and his leg was broken by the horse. He almost couldn't get married because of the injury. Since then, he has been afraid of horses."

Huo Changhe frowned and said nothing. Zhao Yan asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to ask more details? I really didn't ask in detail about this aspect."

Huo Changhe waved his hand: "No need."

Yan Ruyu seemed to be lost in thought. This Lu Si was indeed unexpectedly complicated.

I originally thought he was just a butcher who was forced to do something he didn't want to do, but later he told the truth. Although he was wrong, he did it to save his family, and his situation is sympathetic.

But now it seems...

Huo Changhe asked: "Go and find out if Lu Si has any brothers or sisters."

Zhao Yan wanted to say no, but he held back and went to check again, just in case there was something missing.

"Yes."

He turned around to leave, but Yan Ruyu stopped him.

He took out two strings of copper coins from the drawer and gave them to him: "When you go out to do things, it's easier with money. Take these."

Zhao Yan waved his hands in embarrassment, and Huo Changhe said, "It's given to you by the princess. If you are asked to take it, you should take it. Otherwise, even if you spend all the money you have, it won't be enough."

"Yes." Zhao Yan took it respectfully.

Yan Ruyu looked at the prescription and said, "After this mission is completed, find some silver ingots and ask him to make you a few sets of clothes and get a waist badge."
