Prince Yong pinched his brows and asked: "Where is the Ninth Princess' carriage?"

"Your Highness, we just left Youcheng a few days ago and it snowed heavily there. I don't think we can go far."

Prince Yong waved his hand and the servant retreated.

He opened the secret compartment and took out the letter sent by Huo Changhe.

This was sent through a special channel, and it was fast, but it could only say a few short sentences, and most of them were in code.

He often took out the most recent letter to read, and its main point was only one - the ninth princess of Dacheng had died, and the one who was going to marry him was the eighth princess.

If it wasn't for the fact that the sender of the letter was Huo Changhe, Prince Yong really wouldn't have believed the contents of the letter.

It would be fine if the marriage was just a Dacheng marriage, but the person could be changed in the middle.

What did he think he was? How ridiculous!

The candlelight illuminated his dark and cold eyes, and he burned the letter.

Since he had to come, he would welcome him well.

At this time, inside the East Palace.

When the prince returned to the palace, he immediately took off his cloak and heavy cotton robe, kicked over several eunuchs, and fell onto the couch. The fingers that supported his knees trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes were stained red.

The eunuch in charge quickly took out a small white jade bottle from the secret compartment and held it in front of him with both hands.

The prince snatched it away, uncorked it, and without waiting to prepare anything else, he poured it directly into his palm, pouring out more than half a bottle in one go.

The eunuch in charge could not help but exclaimed and reminded: "Your Highness, don't use too much..."

Before he could finish his words, the prince had already inhaled all the medicine powder, raised his head and took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to calm down.

The bottle was placed on the table and the cork thrown aside. The eunuch in charge quickly put the cork back in and put it away carefully.

"Your Highness," he said after much hesitation, "This thing has been getting harder to buy lately. This is the last bottle in existence."

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In such a huge capital city, I am the prince, and I can't buy such a small thing?"

"Your Highness, you may not know that perhaps the situation is tense. Previously, although the quantity sold by several stores was small, they still had some. But now, they are completely out of stock and are not selling anymore, so..."

"When I ascend the throne, the whole world will belong to me. What does this little thing mean to me? When the time comes, I will order people to pull out and dig up all the flowers in the imperial garden and plant this kind of medicine everywhere. Who will dare to say anything?"

The eunuch in charge did not dare to say anything. The prince took a few breaths and was about to speak when someone outside came to report: "Your Highness, a doctor did go to the An Mansion and said he would stay overnight."

The prince tapped his fingers lightly: "Remember to ask Doctor Chen to go again tomorrow and tell him that it was my intention."

"Yes."

……

Yan Ruyu picked up a herb and smelled it: "It looks good. Give it to Army Doctor Cao. I think he will like it."

The abbot smiled happily: "Of course, this is free, he must be very happy."

Looking around again, the abbot whispered, "Not only the manor, I asked Yinding to take me to Yuan's mansion last night and took away the things in his rockery warehouse as well."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said nothing.

The abbot asked again, "Is there any solution to the mine problem?"

"Yes," Yan Ruyu said, "Several maids of the Yuan family died in unclear circumstances. Although they were servants and had signed a contract, they were human lives after all. They were not at fault, and the master could not kill them at will."

"If no one pursues the matter, maybe I can get away with it, but if someone pursues it, it will be different."

Yan Ruyu sneered, "I'll take care of this matter, you just watch the fun."

"Okay," the abbot nodded and took a sip of tea.

Before I finished the tea, my body suddenly shuddered, as if I had been electrocuted.

Yan Ruyu was also startled: "What's wrong with you?"

The abbot stroked his chest and said, "Me too... I'll go into the space and take a look."

Yan Ruyu observed his expression. The Tibetan fox lying on the chair next to him also opened his eyes, stood up and looked at the abbot.

After a while, the abbot came out of the space again, patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Ruyu, guess what? My space positioning is fine again!"

"It's like my cell phone signal suddenly came back and the internet was working again!"

Yan Ruyu was relieved: "That's good, where are the Song girl and the West City girl?"

"I just checked and found that Miss Song has a location, but the woman who disappeared in West City doesn't have one. Her icon is still gray."

The abbot thought for a moment and said, "Do you think she will die?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head slowly: "Probably not. That woman is cunning and ruthless. She won't die easily."

"Where did Tang Yibai go?"

The abbot sighed: "I was just about to say this, Tang Yibai's whereabouts are nowhere to be seen."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "What does this mean? It's gray too?"

"No, the higher-ups told me that Tang Yibai is out of observation range."

The abbot was full of regret: "It seems that it is still not enough. It will not work beyond a certain distance. I don't know if it will be upgraded in the future."

"This is normal. Our current positioning is not effective across all terrains."

Yan Ruyu comforted: "This is already amazing."

As the two were talking, Huo Changhe came in from outside: "Yuer, according to the agreed time, Yuan Sishan should go to the Mu family to pick someone up."

"Mu Liangze went to see Governor Cao early in the morning and said a lot of good things about Mu Baodi. He also promised to discipline her strictly in the future and repeatedly assured her that Madam Mu's death had nothing to do with her."

"Governor Cao did as we said, accepted the gift, and did not pursue Mu Baodi any further, giving him some face."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, then we will wait and see how he becomes complacent and confident, but in the end... fails."

Song Ping came in from outside and reported: "My Lord, Princess, there is still no movement in the Yuan Mansion."

"No movement?" Huo Changhe was surprised. "That shouldn't be the case."

"Go and have a look."

Yuan Sishan really wanted to go to the Mu Mansion at the agreed time, although he was reluctant.

He had already walked to the front yard when Manager Zhao suddenly came to him, panting.

"Uncle, this is bad."

What annoyed Yuan Sishan the most was hearing this. He couldn't help but said angrily, "What's wrong? Why are you here? Isn't today the day to deliver the goods to the pharmacy?"

The last time he went to Qian's pharmacy to pay for medicinal materials, he wanted to ask for a higher price, so he didn't pay that much and said he would come back later.

Actually, I just want to buy some. The weather is bad now, and the roads are difficult to travel, so the supply must be small. His products have good quality and appearance, so maybe the price can increase a bit.

Manager Zhao's face turned pale and he stammered, "Master, that warehouse... is empty."

Yuan Sishan was confused: "Empty? What does empty mean?"

"That's it. There's nothing left."

Yuan Sishan was surprised: "Didn't I ask you to deliver the herbs again today? When did you move out?"

"It's not me. I didn't move it. Not only the herbs, but also the grain is gone."

Yuan Sishan raised his voice: "Gone? You didn't move it? Then who did it? The things were in the warehouse, and not many people know about that place. How could it be gone?"

Not only is the place secret, but there are also a lot of things there. It would be impossible to smuggle them out of the house quietly.

Manager Zhao couldn't explain himself, so he said with a bitter face, "It really wasn't me. Why don't you go and take a look?"
