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

The abbot explained the little girl's condition.

Yan Ruyu nodded. She had the same idea as the abbot. It did sound like epilepsy.

It is indeed not easy to cure, but it is not impossible to cure.

Yan Ruyu bent down and touched the little girl's head: "Don't be afraid, being sick is not scary."

The little girl nodded seriously: "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of pain, I'm not afraid of bitter medicine, I'm not afraid of anything."

He looked up at his mother and whispered, "As long as mother is happy."

The woman's tears fell again, and her heart ached as she looked at her sensible daughter.

"princess……"

Yan Ruyu smiled at her and said, "I can treat the child. Which family are you from?"

The woman was overjoyed: "Princess, we are not from Youcheng, but from Shencheng. Our family is engaged in the business of grain and cloth. A few days ago, my husband donated some rice and grain. Thank you, the governor, for not despising us and inviting us to the mansion to attend the banquet."

Huo Changhe asked: "Are you from Youcheng?"

"Yes," the woman nodded.

Yan Ruyu knew that when people said they donated some money, they must be being modest. If it was just a small amount, Governor Cao would have invited them to his home.

"We only have this one daughter, and she's in poor health, so my husband and I will... do some good deeds if we have the ability, and just do our best."

It turned out to be the case.

"So where do you live now?"

"We'll stay at the inn for now."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "It will take time to treat a child, and staying in an inn is not a long-term solution. It would be better to find a small house for short-term rental."

She looked at Huo Changhe, and Huo Changhe said, "I will arrange some people to help you find a house."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu said: "No need, this is the result of your kindness."

The woman left with her child, thanking him profusely. Yan Ruyu said to Huo Changhe, "Your Majesty, please tell Governor Cao and have his servants help. We should be able to find a house soon."

"Right."

They called the abbot, and the three of them went to see Mrs. Cao together.

The banquet was almost over and most of the guests had left. Some of those who were on good terms with Mrs. Cao came back to see the children.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming, they all stood up and said goodbye tactfully.

Mrs. Cao quickly ordered someone to serve the food. Yan Ruyu was actually a little hungry, so she didn't hesitate and sat down to eat.

Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao sat aside to eat and chat with us. They were really happy when talking about what happened today.

Although there was that little episode with Su Zhenzhen, it did not have any impact on Miss Su. Instead, it made her feel that her husband was really good.

When they were almost done with the meal, Governor Cao and Huo Changhe arrived. Yan Ruyu could see that Huo Changhe didn't look well.

Governor Cao, standing aside, also looked a little embarrassed.

Something must have happened.

Madam Cao ordered the food to be taken away and the servants to be sent away.

Huo Changhe said: "Wu Zhouce is missing."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Gone?"

Governor Cao looked embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes, it was the negligence of the jailers. When they delivered the meal this morning, he didn't eat it and kept looking inside. The jailers ignored him."

"At lunchtime, they found him still in the same position. He didn't respond when they called him. The jailer felt something was wrong and was afraid he was dead. But when they went in to check, they found it wasn't him at all."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "What do you mean it's not him?"

"The person was replaced, and that person is dead. There is nothing we can get out of him."

Governor Cao broke out in a cold sweat. This kind of thing had never happened in all these years.

Yan Ruyu tapped the table with her fingers: "He was able to replace people without anyone noticing, and he was able to take them out. This person is not simple."

Huo Changhe nodded, his opinion was consistent with Yan Ruyu.

"Sir, have you checked the people on duty last night? Have you asked them if there was anything unusual?"

"Cui Chong has already gone to ask. I was just about to go to the prison to see. The prince said he wanted to talk to the princess."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Then let's go together."

Yan Ruyu bid farewell to Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao, and went to the prison with Huo Changhe and Governor Cao to check.

Miss Cao looked at Yan Ruyu's back and said with great envy, "Mother, the princess is really amazing. She is a role model for women. She not only gets the prince's favor, but also... respect."

As a woman, I don’t know how much effort I have to put in to gain a man’s favor. Once I get it, I want to maintain his favor and feel complacent about it.

People like Yan Ruyu are truly self-reliant, and their whole body radiates a dazzling light.

Mrs. Cao sighed: "Yes, I have never seen such a woman before, it is really admirable and amazing."

"Mom, can we become such people?"

"Yes," Mrs. Cao said, "I think you are capable. You can stand on your own feet, behave properly, and have the confidence. There is nothing you can't do."

"Mother is right."

Yan Ruyu walked into the prison and as soon as she came in, she smelled a faint fragrance.

The smell is very faint, and if you don't smell it carefully, you won't smell it at all.

Most people don't have a sensitive sense of smell, and the air circulation here is poor, so all kinds of unpleasant smells are mixed together, and most people are simply unwilling to take a closer look.

Therefore no one noticed.

But Yan Ruyu had been suspicious since she heard about this matter, and she paid close attention and soon discovered it.

"Being able to bring someone in to replace him and then leave unscathed, a person with great martial arts skills can do that, but this person didn't use a knife or gun, and the others didn't notice, which shows that he didn't use any force."

"The thing that can do this is either poison or incense."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Yu'er and I think the same."

Governor Cao was in front, and Cui Chong, who arrived earlier, saw them and hurried to meet them.

"My Lord, Prince, Princess, this is the room."

Yan Ruyu looked inside and saw the corpse on the ground. Its hair was disheveled, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and its body was stiff. It must have been dead a long time ago.

"It was the same as when we found it, and it hasn't moved since then," Cui Chong explained.

Yan Ruyu nodded, and Governor Cao asked, "Has the coroner examined it?"

"We examined him and found that he died of poisoning. No other wounds were found."

"The person should have been alive when he arrived, and the poison should have taken effect when he was in disguise," Yan Ruyu said. "It should have been calculated."

"Do you know who this person is?" Huo Changhe asked.

"We've sent people to investigate, but there's no news yet. However," he shook his head, "it's unlikely that they'll find anything."

This is true. Since he was able to be replaced, it means that the people behind the scenes have made thorough preparations.

It won't be easy for them to find out.

There was a yamen runner next to him, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Huo Changhe asked: "Do you have anything to say?"

The yamen runner took a look at the corpse and said, "I think he looks a bit like an old beggar on the street in front."

"I live in the front street, and I often see you when I come to the yamen. In the cold winter, I often bring out some extra breakfast, and share the rest with beggars who don't want food."

"He is old and his legs are not good. I have seen him three or five times."

"However, his clothes were ragged, his face and hair were dirty, so I am not sure."
