The Eighth Princess took a deep breath and gave up the idea of ​​discussing the matter. She felt that it might be better to focus on being sincere.

"It was Tang Yibai who said that he would meet a caravan in a few days and travel with our team."

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat. Caravan? Could this be the reason why Tang Yibai didn't leave and had to wait in Youcheng?

"What caravan?"

"He didn't mention this, and I haven't heard of any imperial merchant caravans. Maybe I'm not taken seriously and don't know some important news. However, judging from Tang Yibai's expression, it seems to be very important. He cares a lot about this caravan."

Yan Ruyu said nothing and stroked the bracelet gently.

Waiting for a caravan? If that's true, then it must not be an ordinary caravan.

Even the imperial merchants would not do that.

Even if he is a royal merchant, he is still a businessman. Merchants have their own guards. At most, they can hire bodyguards, but I have never heard that they can mobilize the royal guards.

And who is Tang Yibai? He is skilled, intelligent, and arrogant. Would such a person be a bodyguard for a caravan?

It's impossible even to think about.

Unless, this is not a caravan at all, but just a caravan in disguise.

"What else did he say? Did you ask anything about the caravan?"

The Eighth Princess shook her head and said firmly, "No, because when he started talking, I was very curious and wanted to ask him, but I felt that he was suspicious and deceitful. I decided not to ask about things that had nothing to do with me, otherwise, if something happened in the future, he would suspect me again."

This is a smart move.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's right, it's true. It has nothing to do with you, so don't ask or inquire."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the wound of the Eighth Princess: "Remember this lesson."

The Eighth Princess felt the wound tighten: "Okay."

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes slightly, thinking quietly. The Eighth Princess slowed down her breathing and did not dare to disturb her.

She watched quietly and secretly, and found that the Princess of Zhennan was very different from the women she had seen before.

There are many women in the Dacheng Palace, and it is well known that Emperor Dacheng loves beauties. There are countless beauties in the palace, delicate, charming, gorgeous, pure, all kinds of them.

But Yan Ruyu is different from them all. We cannot compare them in terms of appearance. Of course Yan Ruyu is beautiful, but if we compare them in terms of appearance, that would be too narrow-minded.

Women are like flowers, and their coldness is compared to bamboo and plum by literati. However, Yan Ruyu is a towering tree, not only overlooking the flowers and plants, but also disdain to compete with them.

No, not really. She disdains to compete with them for men's favor and attention, but when the storm comes, she is willing to protect those flowers.

This feeling is very strange and contradictory, but the Eighth Princess has this feeling.

She was daydreaming when Yan Ruyu turned to look at her. She quickly put away her thoughts, feeling a little guilty.

Yan Ruyu said: "Just focus on recuperating and don't worry about anything else. I will send someone to secretly investigate the caravan. If I find that there is something fishy going on..."

The eighth princess gradually became anxious.

"The final result is beneficial to us. I will send someone to accompany you along the way to protect your safety."

The eighth princess was overjoyed, and although she was expecting this result in her heart, she didn't dare say it.

"Thank you, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and raised her hand to interrupt her loyal words: "You don't have to do anything, and don't ask. As I said just now, don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you. If there is any need, I will send someone to ask you."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "If someone comes to ask you, remember to tell them to stop at a red light."

"If he says the light is green, then you can talk to him. If he can't answer, then don't say anything."

The eighth princess' heart was pounding, and she silently repeated "Stop when the light is red, go when the light is green" several times in her mind.

"Okay, I remember."

Yan Ruyu asked again, "We will leave later. You will wake up sooner or later. Instead of pretending to be unconscious, it is better to stay awake. If Tang Yibai asks you what you said to me, what will you say?"

"I just said that I was very scared. You asked me about my injury, but I didn't tell you. I still have to rely on the commander in the future, and I dare not ask for help from others."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "The Eighth Princess is indeed smart, worthy of being someone who has struggled to survive in the cracks."

The Eighth Princess: “…” For a moment she couldn’t tell whether this was a compliment or sarcasm.

After Yan Ruyu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. The Eighth Princess was stunned.

"Princess, are you leaving?"

Yan Ruyu stopped and frowned slightly: "Anything else?"

"No, no more."

No concluding remarks at all?

On second thought, should there be one? It's normal if there isn't one.

"No, that's all. Thank you, Princess."

Yan Ruyu said nothing more and walked away slowly.

Huo Changhe, Yinding and Governor Cao were all waiting in the outer room. Tang Yibai was in the corridor, leaning against a pillar, sitting on the railing, with his long and wide sleeves hanging down, like a romantic scholar.

When they saw Yan Ruyu coming out, several people had different expressions.

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "The princess's injury is indeed serious, but there is no need to worry. She has a slight fever and has already taken medicine."

She turned to look at Governor Cao and said, "Sir Governor, please arrange a better doctor. If I don't have a fever tonight, I won't have to worry about it tomorrow."

Governor Cao nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I will arrange it immediately."

Yan Ruyu looked at Tang Yibai and said, "The commander should be more alert day and night. The princess is lucky this time. If it gets deeper, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."

Tang Yibai didn't expect Yan Ruyu to arrange for him. He looked at him with a slanted eye and curled his lips as if smiling: "Princess, are you using me like a beast of burden?"

"Oxen and horses are diligent and never lazy, so it's better not to compete with the commander," Yan Ruyu said coldly, "It's just a reminder, that's all I have to say, it's up to you whether you do it or not."

Tang Yibai opened his eyes slightly. What this woman meant was that he was worse than cattle and horses?

"Is the princess awake?" he asked. "I heard that the princess is a good doctor. I wonder..."

"He's awake," Yan Ruyu said. "I asked her, and she said she didn't see the assassin's face clearly. But if he came to assassinate in broad daylight, he would have covered his face, otherwise he would be a fool. If a fool escapes right under my nose, I will really doubt the commander's ability."

Tang Yibai: "..."

"My Lord, let's go. This noise is giving me a headache."

"Okay." Huo Changhe took her hand without saying a word, turned around and left.

Yinding also said, "Sir Governor, shall I accompany you to find a doctor?"

"Okay, okay." Governor Cao also left.

Tang Yibai sat still, tilting his head to look down from above, staring at the departing backs of Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.

Princess Zhennan, interesting.

I just don’t know how long you can be so arrogant.

Seeing that they had all left and would never come back, Tang Yibai stood up and walked back into the house.

The eighth princess was awake and listened to Yan Ruyu and stopped pretending to be unconscious.

She also heard what Yan Ruyu said just now.

As soon as Tang Yibai arrived at the outer room, her heart began to tighten.

What is supposed to come will come.

Tang Yibai walked to the bedside, staring at the prey at his paws like a proud tiger or wolf, "What did you say?"
