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

At four months of pregnancy, the baby is already showing.

The fetus should have begun to appear, even if it does not yet take human form.

Yan Ruyu is not as good as Cao the military doctor in taking pulses, but she has no problem taking the most basic pulse, such as pregnancy pulse.

As soon as the pulse was felt, Yan Ruyu's eyebrows jumped.

Look again with your eyes.

My heart sank.

Mrs. Shen looked at her face and became a little nervous, and subconsciously placed her other hand on her lower abdomen.

Yan Ruyu withdrew her hand, and Madam Shen asked cautiously: "Princess, my child..."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her emotions. It could be seen that Madam Shen attached great importance to this pregnancy.

What should she say?

But this doesn't seem to be the right time.

She didn't answer but asked, "Who has been taking care of Madam's pregnancy? The palace doctor?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head: "No, it's Doctor Hong from Chunshengtang."

Yan Ruyu had heard of Chunshengtang, a fairly large medical clinic, from the owner of the Qian family pharmacy.

Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "Doctor Hong is a good doctor. This princess has heard of him, but he is not an expert in gynecology. Madam is pregnant, so it would be safer to arrange for a palace doctor to stay in the mansion."

Madam Shen stroked her belly and smiled, "My husband does think so, but the original court doctor is good at taking my pulse, but he is still not good enough to take care of me, so I found Doctor Hong."

"Princess, could you recommend one?"

After Madam Shen finished speaking, she felt that she had spoken out of turn, and quickly stood up and said, "I have lost my sense of propriety and actually troubled the princess."

"It's okay. I heard from the prince that Sima Shen once worked in Shencheng, and the prince had a good impression of Sima Shen. I heard that after arriving in Youcheng, Sima Shen was also suppressed by Shen Huaixin. I think it was because of the prince."

"Princess, you are too kind. In the officialdom, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly. Your husband has already seen through it. Now, the hardship has paid off."

"Sima Shen is broad-minded and admirable," Yan Ruyu said, changing the subject, "I would be happy to help Madam Shen a little."

"This princess does know a female doctor who specializes in taking care of pregnant women and women who have just given birth, but she is not in Youcheng right now. She went to look for some medicinal herbs a few days ago. I will write a letter when I return and ask her to come back as soon as possible."

Mrs. Shen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Mrs. Cao smiled and congratulated her a few more times, then invited Mrs. Shen to go to the flower hall.

Yan Ruyu walked at the end, and when she saw them leave, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

When we arrived at the flower hall, the hot tea was changed again. Everyone sat together chatting and laughing. It was very lively.

Mrs. Shen's face was also flushed, her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and she was in a very good mood.

Seeing her coming, everyone stood up to greet her. Yan Ruyu waved her hand, motioning everyone to sit down.

She sat with Mrs. Cao.

Madam Cao asked, "Princess, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Not yet. Thank you, ma'am. Please pay more attention to Madam Shen later and don't let her get into trouble in the mansion."

"Okay, don't worry, Princess. I've made all the arrangements."

As soon as she finished speaking, Linlang strode over here from outside. When she reached the stairs, Yan Ruyu saw her at a glance.

Yan Ruyu stood up and walked quickly out of the hall and down the stairs without disturbing anyone else.

"What's the matter?"

Linlang did not enter the mansion, but stayed in the carriage outside, feeling more comfortable.

"Master, there are two people outside, driving a carriage. Judging from their attire, they are two men, but one of them is a woman dressed as a man. They said they want to see you."

Yan Ruyu frowned. She came here today, but she didn't tell anyone else except Huo Changhe and the first lady.

How did the visitor know she was here?

"Can you tell me who he is?"

Yan Ruyu asked as she walked out. No matter what, she had to go and take a look.

"The man said his last name was An, and that he was in charge of money and food." Linlang's face was tense. "The woman dressed as a man didn't say anything, but I smelled blood on her."

Yan Ruyu paused for a moment, then quickened her pace: "An Cizhou? Isn't he in the capital? Why did he suddenly come here?"

An Cizhou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the son of the old Prime Minister An, with such an identity, suddenly came to the northwest from the capital. It was definitely not a coincidence, nor was it just for sightseeing.

"Go to the front hall to find the prince," Yan Ruyu ordered, "Don't alarm anyone else."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel worried, and thought about many possibilities along the way.

Could it be that something big happened in the capital? There was news before that the emperor intended to re-employ people who had been exiled to Youcheng. Could it be related to this?

Would it be disadvantageous to Huo Changhe if he re-employed someone else?

After many twists and turns, Yan Ruyu arrived outside the mansion.

An Cizhou was thinner than before, and his skin was darker and a little rough, but he was more energetic than before, and his eyes were sparkling.

He was wearing a fur coat and a fur hat on his head, the fur swaying in the wind.

He had a knife hanging on his waist. The knife was quite simple and you could tell it was quite old, not fancy.

There was a woman standing beside him, with an upright figure, stern eyes and eyebrows, and a heroic demeanor.

It was Qi Dongqiang.

Yan Ruyu was surprised and happy. An Cizhou was enough of a surprise to her, and Qi Dongqiang was an even greater surprise.

When she and Qi Dongqiang became sworn sisters, they were still in Xucheng, far away from the northwest. Linlang didn't exist at that time, so Linlang didn't know her at all.

Seeing her come out, Qi Dongqiang and An Cizhou were also very excited. They hurried forward and Qi Dongqiang's eyes were red.

"Since we've met, Xu Cheng, how is my sister?"

When Yan Ruyu heard this name, her heart warmed.

Thinking back to when they became sworn sisters in Xucheng, along with Yan Ruyu, Qi Dongqiang and Jiang Tangli, she was the youngest among them, but she asked to be the older sister.

Qi Dongqiang is the second and Jiang Tangli is the youngest.

Since Xu Cheng left, she has never heard anyone call her "sister" again.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel sad. The three sisters are far away from each other and I don't know when they can get together again.

Yan Ruyu held Qi Dongqiang's hand and said, "I'm fine. But you guys, why..."

"Forget it, this is not the place to talk," Yan Ruyu looked back, "This is the governor's residence, wait a moment, the prince is here too, he will come out later, and we will go back together."

Unexpectedly, Qi Dongqiang whispered: "No, we have to find a safe place quickly, there is no time to waste, otherwise we will not come directly to you."

Yan Ruyu's heart sank: "What happened?"

Qi Dongqiang glanced at the car and motioned her to go to the side of the car.

Yan Ruyu walked over, Qi Dongqiang lifted the curtain a little, and she looked inside.

There was another person in the car.

However, the man was lying there, covered with a quilt, with only his head exposed. His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and even his lips were grayish white.

Her eyebrows were long, thick and black, and her eyelashes were very dense and curled, which made her skin look even more frighteningly white.

Yan Ruyu's pupils narrowed and she recognized her immediately.

"How is this going!"
