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

Yan Ruyu leaned forward slightly and looked at Wu Zhouce.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Wu Zhouce was still shocked by Su Wude's death. When asked by Yan Ruyu, he felt as if he was being stared at by a ghost and his heart was startled when he met her dark and calm eyes.

He subconsciously said, "I want to... live."

"How much have you understood the true meaning of the book?" Yan Ruyu asked while holding the book.

When Wu Zhouce saw the book, his breath was held in his throat and his mind became much clearer.

"What's the real meaning? It's just an ordinary book," Wu Zhouce gritted his teeth, the pain made him more sober.

Yan Ruyu stood up slowly, becoming more and more curious.

Wu Zhouce was obviously not a tough guy, but he was extremely tight-lipped about this book… or rather, what he was going to do with the book.

Linlang still wanted to beat him, but Wu Zhouce closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

Yan Ruyu waved her hands. It looked like beating him would be useless as Wu Zhouce had already made up his mind not to say anything.

Since fighting doesn't work, use psychological tactics.

Linlang stepped aside, preparing to be beaten, but before she could, Wu Zhouce opened his eyes again.

The room was very quiet. Yan Ruyu was sitting on a chair. The book she was flipping through just now was no longer in her hands, nor was it on the desk. No one knew where it had gone.

What she was holding in her hand now was a picture.

Wait, a picture?!

Wu Zhouce's eyes suddenly widened - actually not much, his face was swollen and his eyes were squeezed into a slit, and now he looked particularly funny when he tried hard to keep them open.

He couldn't see the whole picture, only a small part, which was...

He wanted to struggle hard, stand up, rush over, grab the picture and take a closer look at it. However, let alone snatching it, even standing up was a hassle.

He was also afraid that his movements would be too big and would arouse Yan Ruyu's suspicion.

"Princess, I..."

Yan Ruyu ignored him, but she definitely heard it.

The snow was still falling outside. Amid the sound of the falling snow, he could hear his heart beating like a drum, quickly weighing the situation.

"Princess, you just asked me about that book..."

Yan Ruyu didn't even raise her eyelids: "It's not important. This princess doesn't want to know."

"Or rather, if I want to know, I don't have to ask you. You do have some knowledge, but there are many people with good knowledge in the world. For example, the teachers in the academy who are teachers like you, and the owner of this book, aren't they all great scholars?"

"This has nothing to do with scholarship!" Wu Zhouce said excitedly, "Even if the owner of this book doesn't know how valuable it is, why would he lend it to a poor student?"

"You know, you know that you are looking for it now, what were you doing before?" Yan Ruyu sneered, "Don't you think it's too late to worry about it now?"

As she spoke, she finally turned her head to look at Wu Zhouce. One hand loosened the drawing and let it hang down, and half of the drawing also fell down. Wu Zhouce could see nearly half of it at a glance.

He opened his eyes wide in haste to see, but his face was so swollen that his eyesight was already poor, and now it was even more crowded and he could not see clearly.

He couldn't help but struggle to move forward, trying to get closer. Just as he moved a little, Linlang kicked him back: "Be quiet!"

He groaned in pain, and when he looked again, the map in Yan Ruyu's hand was gone again.

Where have you gone? !

Yan Ruyu looked at him with a half-smile: "It seems that this picture makes you more nervous than that book."

"Of course! I'm looking for books to get the pictures. There are so many pictures in the book. It's not easy to find the right one and draw it smoothly. What's more, I have to find more than just this one..."

I looked at the book, but it wasn't his; the picture looked similar, but it wasn't his either.

Wu Zhouce was so anxious that he was dying, and from what Yan Ruyu said, it seemed that he already knew something.

Come to think of it, it is not impossible. With the connections and information of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, it is not difficult to find out something if you are sure of it.

"You have the blueprint in hand," Yan Ruyu said slowly, "Why are you looking for a book? Aren't you looking for a book because you have no other choice?"

Wu Zhouce stared at her, his heart pounding. She really knew it!

Wu Zhouce gritted his teeth and said, "What the princess said is true, but even if we have the blueprint, it may not be successful. If it was possible with just a blueprint, I wouldn't have to wait so many years."

"However, I have not been idle in the academy during these years. There are many books in the academy. I took this opportunity to search inside and finally found a way."

He struggled to get up, his eyes burning: "Princess, how about we work together?"

Yan Ruyu remained calm: "Cooperate with you?"

"good."

"What do you have now?" Yan Ruyu chuckled, unable to hide her contempt. "I would say you are a lost dog, even a dog wouldn't agree. Not only are you homeless, your reputation is ruined, and you can't even walk openly on the street. You are a fugitive."

Wu Zhouce said anxiously, "Isn't it just a matter of one word from the prince? I am not guilty. It was the blacksmith who deliberately misled me and I fell for his trick! I didn't want to escape from prison and become a fugitive. It was Su Wude who insisted on getting me out and driving me out of the city without any explanation."

Yan Ruyu laughed out loud: "Look, you really are worthy of being the head of the Wu family. No wonder you Wu family members are so virtuous. You never look for the reasons in yourself. No matter big or small, you only blame others."

"Su Wude insisted on saving you and even found a scapegoat for you. Why? Did you tell him that you wanted to cooperate? That's why he worked so hard."

"But in the blink of an eye, he was dead."

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "This princess doesn't want to get into trouble."

Wu Zhouce said anxiously, "I haven't told Su Wude about this. I don't know why he did this. His death has nothing to do with me. Princess, that is really a huge fortune, a fortune...unimaginable."

His eyes were bloodshot, fanatical, and full of longing: "It's not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country!"

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat - as expected, Huo Changhe had guessed it right, this should be a treasure map.

At that time, Huo Changhe said that although the northwestern border is a cold and bitter place with no good climate or soil, there are many stories and unofficial histories circulating, and there are countless stories about gods and ghosts, and every old man in the family can tell a few.

The thing that made Wu Zhouce care so much and try so hard to find it must be related to wealth.

Only money can move people's hearts, this has been the truth since ancient times.

A small amount of wealth can buy life and make people have evil thoughts, but a large amount of wealth is enough to make a person no longer human and turn him into a devil.

Yan Ruyu actually knew nothing and was just trying to trick Wu Zhou into giving her the certificate.

She held the small hand warmer in both hands, her expression calm and she said nothing.

He was not excited or fanatical about Wu Zhouce's words, and even his eyebrows did not move.

Her calmness made Wu Zhouce look like a complete lunatic.

"Wealthy enough to rival a country," Yan Ruyu chuckled, "your family is so poor that you can't even afford to pay tens of thousands of taels to buy your son's life."

"What are you trying to say to me, Princess?"

"Wu Zhouce, you are acting crazy and stupid, and you just open your mouth and say you want to cooperate with this princess?"

"Why do you?"
