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

When Taohua woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

She struggled to sit up. She was alone in the warm room.

I touched my neck and luckily it was not injured.

The door curtain was lifted, and an old woman came in carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Miss, are you awake?" The old woman smiled kindly, "This is a tranquilizer, drink it quickly."

"Don't worry, it's not hard."

Taohua blushed slightly, but her eyes were still alert: "Thank you, you are..."

"My last name is Wu. I'm a maid in the palace. The princess asked me to take care of you."

Taohua was slightly surprised and looked around again: "Is this the palace, the Zhennan Palace?"

"Yes, the princess rescued you. You were unconscious at the time. The doctor examined you and found that you were just too frightened."

Taohua quickly got out of bed: "I have to go and thank the princess."

"Take the medicine first, it will get cold soon. The princess has instructed you to rest well. I will see you when she is done."

Taohua nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll listen to the princess."

She took the medicine bowl and drank it all.

At this time, Yan Ruyu was not in the palace, and she and Huo Changhe returned to the governor's mansion.

The young man's body was taken to the morgue.

The coroner hadn't even had time to catch his breath when another case came to life. Not only him, but Governor Cao also had a headache.

What's going on every day?

While listening to the bailiff's report, he hurried over here.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were waiting outside. He ran over panting and was about to greet them, but Huo Changhe waved his hand.

The three of them sat in silence, waiting.

After about an incense stick of time, the coroner came out with the notes and reported.

"After my humble examination, the deceased was killed by a single blow, with no other fatal wounds."

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu both saw this with their own eyes and had no objection.

The coroner continued, "In addition to the fatal wound, there were some tiny red spots on his body. They were very small."

"If it weren't for the magnifying glass that the princess gave me, I wouldn't have been able to find it."

Yan Ruyu had a good impression of this coroner. He was down-to-earth and careful, did his job well and never complained.

During several autopsies they performed together, Yan Ruyu gave him advice and some practical gadgets, including a magnifying glass.

Governor Cao couldn't help but ask, "Little red dot? What is that?"

"Your Excellency, I first found one, but because the person had fair skin, the red dots were very obvious. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later I saw a few more and found that these red dots were on some acupuncture points."

"On the acupuncture points? Is it fatal?" Governor Cao asked hurriedly.

The coroner hesitated for a moment: "That's... not the case."

Governor Cao's expectant expression fell again.

"This man kidnapped someone and forced her to marry him. When he failed, he committed suicide out of grief and anger. Your Majesty, Princess, there is nothing more to investigate, right? How about I send someone to find his family and ask them to come and claim the body?"

Although this person was wrong, the person is already dead and the person who was kidnapped was not harmed, so the family must still be notified to claim the body.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Alright. My Lord, please make the arrangements."

Governor Cao ordered someone to inform them. Yan Ruyu pondered and said, "What acupuncture points are those little red dots on? List these locations."

"Yes."

The coroner has already recorded these locations in the minutes, so you can just copy a copy.

He immediately copied it and gave it to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu put it away, walked into the autopsy room, switched her eyes, and carefully observed the body's body.

There's nothing wrong with that.

He averted his gaze and was about to turn around when he suddenly noticed that there were a few strange fibers on the corpse's pants.

Because they were all tenant farmers who had to do farm work, the materials used for their clothes were not particularly delicate or difficult to care for.

Instead, they are mainly designed to be washable, wear-resistant and dirt-resistant. Even so, these clothes are new clothes for the tenants and they are very cherished when they wear them.

Normally, this situation shouldn't have happened since it has only been worn for a short time.

Yan Ruyu walked over to take a closer look, but couldn't see any clues.

The coroner asked, "Princess, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing," Yan Ruyu didn't think any more about it.

After returning to the palace, Yan Ruyu heard that Taohua had woken up, so she ordered someone to bring her to the front hall.

When they met again this time, Yan Ruyu took a closer look and found that Taohua was fatter, whiter and much more beautiful than the last time they met.

Taohua knelt down as soon as she came in, her eyes red: "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."

"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life!"

"Get up and take a seat."

"I dare not take a seat," Taohua kowtowed, "I have an unkind favor to ask for, Princess, to fulfill it."

Yan Ruyu held the teacup and looked up at her: "Tell me about it."

"I had been engaged to Brother Xiaolai and had already agreed to get married, but who knew... this happened again. Brother Xiaolai died, and the manor became a place of sorrow for me."

"But I have no home anymore. These days I have considered Zhuangzi my home." She kowtowed again. "Please, Princess, keep me in your house. I am willing to be your slave and serve you like a cow or a horse."

Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said, "The palace has no shortage of cattle and horses, so it's not worth it for you to be one."

Taohua was stunned and looked at Yan Ruyu with an extremely aggrieved look.

"you……"

Just as he was about to speak, the abbot came in from outside.

The abbot was very sad about the young man's death, and even his good mood for seeing the new courtyard was greatly affected.

So we decided to have a good meal in the evening.

Hearing that Yan Ruyu was back, he came over to discuss what to eat in the evening and he also wanted to order a few dishes.

Taohua turned her head and saw him, as if she saw a savior: "Master, hello, Master."

The abbot couldn't bear to see this. He reached out to help, but held back and looked at Yan Ruyu first.

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly.

The abbot helped Taohua up and said, "Come, talk slowly if you have anything to say."

"Master, I don't want to go back to the manor anymore. I want to stay in the palace as a servant. Please ask the princess for help."

"I can sew, wash clothes and cook. I can endure hardships. I can do everything."

The abbot didn't know what Yan Ruyu was thinking, and he didn't dare to agree rashly. He looked at Yan Ruyu questioningly.

"There are more jobs on the farm. As for their deaths, now that the truth is out, they won't blame you," Yan Ruyu said slowly, "You can earn more money on the farm."

"There are many opportunities to remarry. In the palace, there are many rules, and the people in each courtyard are basically enough. If you come, it will be impossible to be a first-class maid."

Taohua said quickly: "I don't ask for a high position, as long as I have food to eat, the amount of money doesn't matter."

Having said that, I just want to stay in the palace.

Yan Ruyu didn’t say it was possible, nor did she say it was impossible.

"This matter will be considered by the princess. You can go down and rest first."

Taohua wanted to say something, but the abbot gave her a look and she lowered her head to leave.

The abbot stepped forward and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to keep her?"

Yan Ruyu drank her tea slowly: "What do you think? How did she perform in Zhuangzi?"
