Yan Ruyu poured Huo Changhe a cup of hot water to warm him up.

"Your Majesty has a good nose. Someone has indeed been here."

"Guess who it is."

Huo Changhe took a sip of water, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc: "That fake princess?"

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "How did the prince know?"

Huo Changhe smiled lightly: "The fragrance is very unfamiliar, it is a mixture of two kinds, the weak one is considered medium, and the strong one is precious. Who else can mix the two except her?"

"Before, her status was not high enough to allow her to use expensive incense. Now that she has replaced the Ninth Princess, all of the Ninth Princess's things belong to her, so naturally she can use expensive incense."

"Besides, it's late at night and no one else will come."

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it difficult to guess? Although I am not as smart as Yu'er, I am not so stupid that I can't guess who it is."

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows curved: "Your Majesty is not stupid at all. Then Your Majesty, guess again, what is she doing here?"

Huo Changhe chuckled, his tone nonchalant: "What else can you do by coming here at night? You just need our help."

"As for what it is..." Huo Changhe thought for a moment, "Could it be that you want us to help her leave Youcheng as soon as possible?"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but clap her hands: "Your Majesty is amazing, it's true."

Huo Changhe drank half a cup of water and felt completely warm. "Could it be that she wants me to write a letter to Prince Yong, so that she can leave as soon as possible under the pretext of carrying the letter?"

Yan Ruyu nodded and explained everything the Eighth Princess had said.

Huo Changhe put down the water cup and said in a slightly cold tone: "She is good at ordering people around."

"Of course the letter had to be written. It had been sent back to Beijing this afternoon. If it had to be sent, it wasn't her turn to be the messenger."

"Of course she didn't just want to be a messenger. She just used this name to tell Tang Yibai that she meant that Tang Yibai didn't seem to want to leave Youcheng."

Huo Changhe nodded slowly: "I have the same feeling. I felt it when I was in the grove."

"It's just that I don't know what he's going to do here. He's a man with a deep mind. He looks harmless and smiling, but he's actually cruel and ruthless," Huo Changhe frowned slightly, "I don't like him very much."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Me too, I don't like it."

Huo Changhe couldn't help laughing: "Then let's hate him together and beat him out of Youcheng."

"it is good."

It was late at night and Yan Ruyu was a little sleepy. She had washed up early and fell asleep while waiting for Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe came back and saw her sleeping. In the warm light, her sleeping face was beautiful and her hair was spread out like silk. Huo Changhe felt his heart warmed.

"Yu'er, I will definitely protect our home and you."

He moved gently and lay down beside Yan Ruyu, looking at her sideways, and closed his eyes for a long time.

Yan Ruyu was awakened by the beeping sound. When she woke up, it was already bright outside. Linlang and the eldest boss were already up in the yard, and they were talking in low voices.

Yan Ruyu didn't open her eyes, but her consciousness entered the space and read the test report.

The result was not surprising.

She exited the space and opened her eyes. Huo Changhe was also awake. He was looking at her with a smile, his fingers gently tangling her hair.

"Awake? It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the bright window paper and said, "Is it still early? It's already daybreak."

Huo Changhe hugged her in his arms: "It's not bright now."

Yan Ruyu leaned against his chest and laughed: "I have to go to the dim sum shop today. There is something else I want to tell you."

Huo Changhe still held her in his arms, rubbing his chin against her head: "What's the matter?"

"About Lu Si."

Huo Changhe paused and asked, "Any results?"

"Yes, Lu Si's daughter and Lu Si's father are related by blood."

"Lü Si and his father are also father and son."

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where are Lu Si and his daughter?"

A smile flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes: "Your Majesty always gets to the point."

"Lü Si and his daughter are related by blood."

Huo Changhe showed surprise on his face, and Yan Ruyu continued, "But they are not father and daughter."

"It should be uncle and nephew."

Huo Changhe understood instantly: "You mean, Lu Si is not the real Lu Si, nor is he the little girl's father, but Lu Si's brother who should have died long ago?"

"Yes, Zhao Yan came to report the situation yesterday and said that Lu Si's mother originally gave birth to two children. I vaguely felt that it was possible that the twin brothers were replacing each other."

"Just like in Yongchang County, the Huo Changxian brothers and the Yongchang County Lord used this method of stealing and changing the day, didn't they?"

Yan Ruyu put on her clothes while talking: "Lü Si used the same method. The real Lü Si must have died of illness, so Lü Si's wife took her daughter back to her parents' home. When they came back, they must have been Lü Si's brothers."

"He's back, and he's pretending to be fully recovered," Huo Changhe tied her belt, "so he's no longer afraid of killing pigs, because he was a soldier, and he's not even afraid of killing people, so how could he be afraid of killing pigs? He's even better at killing pigs than his father."

"Yes, that's right," Yan Ruyu straightened his collar, "So, the prince thought he could ride a horse and had served in the cavalry, but Zhao Yan found out that he was afraid of riding a horse because he had fallen off a horse before and broke his leg, so he would rather walk."

All the contradictions become reasonable due to this person's identity.

Huo Changhe said: "It seems that it is necessary to meet him again."

"Let him come to see us. If we go to see him, we may not be discovered."

Dacheng’s people are inside and outside the city. Although on the surface not many people have come in, it is still unknown how many there are in secret.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were too conspicuous. If they went to the butcher's shop, they would be easily discovered, but it would not be necessary to disguise themselves.

"Okay, I'll ask Yinding to arrange it."

Not long after breakfast, Yinding came back with a reply.

"My Lord, Princess, Lu Si can't come."

Yan Ruyu was stunned: "What? Did he have an accident?"

"It was indeed a minor accident, but it wasn't life-threatening. He broke his leg and is now resting in bed."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.

"Your leg is injured?"

Yan Ruyu tapped the edge of the table with her fingers. "Zhao Yan said before that Lu Si broke his leg. Is he injured again now?"

"Is this a coincidence or intentional?"

Huo Changhe sneered: "No matter what it is, he is fake. Not to mention a broken leg, even if both legs are broken, it will be useless."

"However, it is a bit strange that he suddenly got injured after not having been injured for so many days," Huo Changhe asked, "How did he get injured? What is his explanation?"

"He said he got up at night and slipped on the ice."

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "In that case, we have to go meet him."

"Just right, let's see where he got hurt."

……

In a villa in the east of the city, the front yard is desolate, but a secret courtyard at the back is warm as spring.

Tang Yibai stood respectfully in the outer room. The bead curtain in the inner room swayed, reflecting the graceful figure of the woman in the room.
