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

Yan Ruyu looked at the title deed on the table with a smile on her face.

Beibei handed over the banknotes: "Master, this is the remaining banknotes. A total of five thousand taels were spent."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Changhe with a smile: "Your Majesty lost."

Huo Changhe laughed loudly: "Yes, I lost, and I am happy to lose."

Beibei was confused, so Yan Ruyu told him about the bet between her and Huo Changhe, and asked him to tell the brothers and then go to the government office to ask for help.

Beibei was so happy that she was grinning, and bowed to Huo Changhe: "Oh, then I would like to thank you very much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so generous, and I am very grateful."

Huo Changhe kicked him lightly: "You little monkey, you are so ungrateful after getting the advantage."

Yan Ruyu laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, we are the ones who benefit the most."

Huo Changhe smiled even more and urged Beibei: "Okay, hurry up and tell the restaurant too."

"Yes!"

Beibei turned to leave, then turned back and said, "Your Highness, Princess, Brother Tuotuo was originally with us. He was the one who gave me the banknote. He said he found something and wanted to go check it out."

"Can you please wait for Brother Tuotuo to come back before going to eat?"

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, your brother Tuotuo will not be missing."

Beibei's face was smiling again and she left happily.

"Yinding has great popularity. They all like him," Huo Changhe picked up the deed, "and they actually got it done."

Yan Ruyu took out a banknote and gave it to Huo Changhe: "Your Highness, take it. It's for the banquet."

Huo Changhe cleared his throat and said, "How can this be? I'll admit defeat. I lost to Yu'er, and I'll pay for it."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "How come the prince still has some private money?"

Ever since his vest fell off on the road and Huo Changhe revealed his true identity, he handed over most of his hidden assets that had not been confiscated to Yan Ruyu. Those that were not handed over were special and required a seal or a personal visit.

After arriving in Youcheng, he wrote letters to ask several managers to come and meet Yan Ruyu. From now on, they would settle in the northwest and no longer be homeless on the road like before. The managers no longer had to hide anything, and Yan Ruyu would be responsible for the accounting matters.

So, strictly speaking, Huo Changhe has no assets and no spare money.

For example, the supplies for supporting Xiang Guang and others were arranged by Yan Ruyu or paid for by her.

When Huo Changhe heard the phrase "private money", he quickly waved his hands to deny it: "No, how could it be private money? It's the money you usually give me. I haven't used it up yet. It's enough for a meal."

Yan Ruyu smiled secretly, thinking it was quite interesting to tease him.

"No, you'd better take more. If it's not enough, the restaurant owner will laugh at you."

Huo Changhe thought about it and realized that the food at Qian's Restaurant was not cheap.

"Thank you, Yu'er."

It was almost dusk when Yinding came back from outside and went to the yard to answer the call first.

"Your Highness, Princess," Yinding blinked his eyes, full of brilliance, "I was originally planning to buy a manor with Beibei and the others, but later I received a message from the secret guards."

He handed over a letter tube and said, "The secret guard said that the Eighth Princess told him that Tang Yibai mentioned the caravan again and told her to say what he taught her if Governor Cao and others asked about it."

Huo Changhe took the letter tube, which contained a few simple sentences, just as Yinding said.

Yan Ruyu finished reading it and frowned slightly, saying, "The princess seal is probably not in the hands of the Eighth Princess. Tang Yibai should have full control over it, but the caravan joining the team will definitely attract attention. What he is worried about is not the procedures, but the attention that others will pay to the caravan."

"Yes," Huo Changhe destroyed the note, "It seems that this caravan is indeed unusual. We need to find a way to investigate."

"Or we can wait until the caravan arrives, ask the city defense army to find a reason to cause a conflict, and then have Governor Cao go there."

Huo Changhe changed his mind and felt that this was indeed a good idea that would not arouse Tang Yibai's suspicion.

"it is good."

After listening to what they said, Yinding narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "My Lord, Princess, I have already checked it out."

Huo Changhe looked at his arrogant expression, which clearly meant "Praise me, praise me!"

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Yinding is indeed smart and capable. No wonder the brothers all admire you and believe in you. The prince also trusts you and respects you."

Yinding was so flattered that he couldn't stop smiling: "Princess, thank you for the compliment. Thank you for the compliment."

"I am only a little smart and a little bit stronger in skills, but the rest is just fine."

Huo Changhe rolled his eyes quietly.

Yan Ruyu asked with a smile: "So what did you find when you investigated the caravan?"

"Princess, you don't know, this caravan is very strange. They only have three cars in total, and they are not very full. The cargo is just ordinary things, tea, medicinal herbs, and two boxes of jewelry."

As Yinding spoke, he took out several small paper bags from the small cloth bag at his waist and placed them on the table one by one.

"This is what I took back from their goods."

Yan Ruyu opened the paper package, which contained two kinds of tea, three kinds of medicinal herbs and several gems.

Huo Changhe looked at the tea leaves and gems, Yan Ruyu looked at the medicinal herbs, and they looked at each other, both a little confused.

"The quality of these things is not very good," Huo Changhe picked up the tea leaves, "they are at most medium, not even upper-middle."

"And this gem," Huo Changhe was too lazy to take it, "It's not pure enough, and the color isn't pretty. It's just a piece of junk that isn't very beautiful. The rich don't use it, and ordinary people can't afford it. At most, you can just cut it into a hat and use it to make some small toys."

Yin Ding took over and said, "When I found these, I was also very surprised. There were only two boxes in total, and they were all of this quality. There was really nothing to pick, so I just took a few pieces back at random."

"The same goes for medicinal materials. Not to mention the Qian family's pharmacy, even slightly larger pharmacies won't use this kind of medicine. The barefoot doctors in the village or traveling doctors may use this kind of medicine."

Yan Ruyu twisted a herb and said, "That's strange. From what the Eighth Princess said, she guessed it was a royal caravan, but when she left the palace, she didn't hear about a caravan leaving. However, this is not surprising. She is not taken seriously, so it's normal for her not to know about some important matters."

"But this so-called royal caravan is a bit abnormal."

Yinding said: "They don't look like the royal caravan, neither in temperament nor in style."

He thought, "It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing."

Yan Ruyu: “…” No need to ask, it was another word she learned from the abbot.

"Their body movements and steps don't look like those of merchants. It's a bit strange to say that they are escorts hired by the caravan. Hiring escorts is not cheap. The things they are escorting are not worth hiring escorts at all."

"Besides, they are traveling with the wedding procession. With so many people, why would they need escorts? Besides... I have seen escorts before, and they are not like ordinary escorts."

"It just feels very awkward. No one matches with anyone else."
